Chapter 378: Chapter 378 - Immortal Crown
Chapter 378 - Immortal Crown
A city completely under his control!
This was a dream for Zero Wing .
Shi Feng had once led Shadow, a Guild that owned ten city-states, so he knew how valuable and how great the advantages were for owning his own city .
Although Zero Wing was developing well at the moment, its lack of a stable source of income for Credits was a major flaw .
Other first-rate and second-rate Guilds had support from wealthy corporations . These corporations would provide funding to their partnered Guilds, allowing these Guilds to develop steadily without worrying about a shortage of Credits .
Although Shi Feng had many ways to earn Coins in God’s Domain, it was not easy to support a Guild with Coins alone . Moreover, along with the Guild’s development and the influx of new members, its demand for Coins would increase as well . Converting large sums of Coins into Credits was not a suitable long-term plan to develop a Guild .
However, it would be a different story if Shi Feng possessed a city of his own .
Why were large corporations willing to invest so many Credits into a Guild? Wasn’t it to earn money?
However, how were they going to earn money?
The answer was a player-established autonomous city .
If a Guild possessed an autonomous city, it could start seeking investors to rent out shops and such in its city . Through these investors, the Guild could then earn a large amount of Credits and Coins, thereby solving the problems of the Guild’s future development .
Thus, Shi Feng was determined to obtain the rights to establish his own city . Even if he had to pay a huge price in the process, he would .
After a moment of silence, Shi Feng answered, “Lady Sharlyn, I accept your conditions . ”
“Good . I really did not choose the wrong person . Since you’ve agreed, the contract between us will be established from this moment onward . ” Sharlyn nodded and drew a silver rune in midair . She then imprinted the rune on the back of Shi Feng’s hand and said, “This is a Spirit Seal, and it can be used to absorb Immortal Souls . What I want you to do is to collect 10,000 Immortal Souls . ”
“Collect Immortal Souls?” Shi Feng said, unable to suppress his shock . “You want me to kill 10,000 heaven-blessed individuals?”
When NPCs spoke of heaven-blessed individuals, they were referring to players . Players were immortal existences in God’s Domain, and they could resurrect infinitely at the cost of some levels and EXP . This was all due to the souls of players being immortal .
Meanwhile, Shi Feng could only obtain the Immortal Soul from the corpse of a player . Moreover, Shi Feng needed to meet a few requirements before he could absorb the Immortal Soul of another player . First, he could not be 5 levels higher or lower than the target player . Second, he needed to kill the target player personally . Lastly, upon the target player’s death, the distance between Shi Feng and the player could not exceed 10 yards . If he failed to meet any of these conditions, he would not absorb the player’s Immortal Soul .
For the NPCs of God’s Domain, absorbing the Immortal Souls of heaven-blessed individuals was taboo . If Shi Feng were discovered doing so, no one, NPCs or players, would hold back from killing him .
As to why players would try to kill Shi Feng as well, it was because any players who lost their Immortal Souls would be barred from logging into the game for a long time . It was a punishment more severe than the penalty for death . Hence, there was no leeway for Shi Feng if he were caught in the act .
“I never thought you would know about Immortal Souls . That’s right . I require you to kill heaven-blessed individuals and collect their Immortal Souls,” Sharlyn stated, slightly surprised that Shi Feng actually knew about Immortal Souls . However, she had not planned to hide this fact, to begin with . “I know that I am making things very difficult for you by requesting such a thing, but we cannot repair the Immortal Crown without Immortal Souls .
“The Immortal Crown was originally a Divine Artifact used to suppress all evil beings . However, the crown was damaged the last time it was used to suppress the Endless Abyss . Meanwhile, the Stargazing Tower has already collected the other materials required to repair the Immortal Crown, and right now, we are only missing Immortal Souls . Initially, I called you here to help me collect Immortal Souls gradually .
“However, I had not expected the Endless Abyss to escape its confinement so soon . The Endless Abyss is simply too powerful . Without the Immortal Crown, we have no chance of resisting the invasion of the Endless Abyss . Since you started this scourge, naturally, you will have to take responsibility for it . In order to repair the Immortal Crown quickly, we need a large number of Immortal Souls . However, I do not want others to know of this, so I have no choice but to ask you to complete this task by yourself .
“The magic array that keeps the Endless Abyss in place will not last long . By my estimation, it will hold out for another three months . In three months, we will have no choice but to face the Endless Abyss directly . Hence, you must collect 10,000 Immortal Souls within that time .
“However, it won’t be easy, which is why I asked you to meet me here . There are many Legacies within the Stargazing Tower . As long as you can pass the test of one of those Legacies, you will have a much easier time collecting the Immortal Souls . ”
System: You have accepted the Epic Hidden Quest “Immortal Crown . ”
Quest details: You are required to collect 10,000 Immortal Souls within three months . If you fail to do so, your soul will be cursed and barred from logging into God’s Domain for one month . In addition, your soul will enter a weakened state for three months, decreasing your Attributes by 90% during this period .
Shi Feng’s head started to ache after reading this quest notification .
To put it simply, failure meant hell!
Failing this quest would deal a heavy blow . If he could not log into God’s Domain for a month, just how far would he fall behind? Also, even after he could log back into God’s Domain, with all of his Attributes decreased by 90%, how was he even supposed to play the game?
“With your current level, you already qualify to accept an Advanced Legacy . Will you the Advanced Legacy’s trial right now, or do you wish to challenge it after taking some time to prepare?” Sharlyn asked patiently as she watched Shi Feng . “Oh, I should remind you that Advanced Legacies are extremely precious . Even with my status, I can only give you one chance . You must be careful . If you are not confident in succeeding, it is best to challenge it at another time .
“The trial of an Advanced Legacy is no less difficult than an Epic Quest .
“If you think that an Advanced Legacy will be too difficult for you, I can offer an Intermediate Legacy . Not only will the difficulty decrease, but you will also have three chances to complete it . ”
Sharlyn explained the options patiently . Shi Feng understood her intentions .
In God’s Domain, a class change was the equivalent of obtaining the Legacy of a higher tiered class . Meanwhile, a majority of the players in God’s Domain would normally receive their Class Change Quest from the Class Association in their respective city . By doing so, players would be challenging Basic Legacies .
Intermediate Legacies were one rank above Basic Legacies . Intermediate Legacies were relatively rare in God’s Domain, and normally, these Legacies allowed players to obtain a common hidden class .
Advanced Legacies were one rank higher . Advanced Legacies were extremely rare, and players could take on a rare, hidden class . Astromancer was one of these rare, hidden classes .
Peak Legacies were one rank higher than Advanced Legacies . In God’s Domain, Peak Legacies were like phoenix’s feathers . Even the Stargazing Tower should not possess such a Legacy .
In Shi Feng’s decade of playing God’s Domain, he had only seen a few people obtain Peak Legacies .
After giving it some thought, Shi Feng said earnestly, “Lady Sharlyn, can I pass this chance to another person?”
To Shi Feng, an Advanced Legacy held little significance . After all, he possessed the Sword in the Stone, a Legacy Item containing a Peak Legacy . How could he give up on a Peak Legacy to accept an Advanced Legacy?
