Samsara Online
chapter-28

After seeing Xie Feng accept the mission, Xiao Lei did not mention the topic again and instead began to relate casually:

"When I was younger, I spent a lot of time traveling around the Adastreia Continent, from remote villages to forests and deep deserts. As time went by, my name began to become a little known. I was respected, feared and admired...even the past Emperor of the Imperial City tried to recruit me as his personal guard but was rejected by me...Forget it kid, even if I tell you these things, it is not something you can understand nowadays. "

Xiao Lei opened the last box and said with indifference:

"If in less than a year's time you succeed in completing the quest that I gave you, everything that I have will be yours."

Xie Feng looked down into the box and when he saw the objects inside, he felt his eyes deceiving him.

'Impossible! How can there be such a thing in a village of novices!' -He thought to himself.

However, no matter how disbelieving Xie Feng feels, no matter how much he rubbed his eyes thinking his eyesight was bad.

Reality was in front of him.

Xie Feng, who usually keeps his cool in every situation, could not close his mouth for quite a while.

[Giant Bear Apple: It comes from the East of the Adastreia Continent. This apple grows from a tree that forms after the death of innumerable high level bears and accumulation of blood during several centuries, and has the power to exploit the hidden force of the body of the person who eats it. Xiao Lei found 10 apples by luck. Effect: After consumption, it increases strength (STR) +20 points permanently. The effect can be stacked. Quantity: 10.]

[Price: 30000 gold coins for each apple.]

[Dew of the Elf Forest: Elves are considered the purest and most beautiful race of the Adastreia Continent. Xiao Lei had a good relationship with the patriarch of the elves in the past so he was given 20 drops. Effect: By consuming one drop it permanently increases +20 points of Intelligence (INT). Quantity: 10.]

[Price: 30000 gold coins for each drop.]

[Divine Blood: ???? Effect: After consumption permanently increases +10000 points of HP. The effect cannot be stacked. Quantity: 2 drops.]

[Price: 5000000 of gold coins for each drop.]

[Pearl of Earth: One of the 7 elemental pearls that exist in the Adastreia Continent. The legend says that if the 7 pearls are united a miracle would happen, however, this was never proved by anyone. Effect: Increases the HP +500000 / HP +100% / DEF +500 / Earth Resistance +60%.]

[Price: ???????]

When Xie Feng saw the effects of the Earth Pearl he almost fainted. 500,000 health points! Not only that, it also had the effect of increasing the player's HP by 100%!

This means, this pearl by itself increased the player's HP by one million points!

[Grain of luck: a mysterious grain that grows at random in the Adastreia Continent. Because it is so small, the wind usually sends it flying all over the place and being so small it is extremely difficult to notice so only someone with a lot of luck can get it. Effect: After consumption, each grain permanently increases +10 points of luck. Quantity: 1.]

[Price: 1000000 of gold coins.]

When Xie Feng's eyes drifted to the last object, he felt his world spinning and he almost collapsed as a result of the shock.

[White Hurricane Sword: God grade weapon.]

[Requirement: Warrior type job, STR over 200 points, Level 50]

[A weapon created to save but also to destroy, depending on who is the bearer. According to the legend, the sword was created by a miracle generated by the union of several special metals in the middle of a fierce hurricane, tempering the edge of the weapon to an extremely frightening level. Because its interior has a lot of wind element, the sword is extremely light and easy to wield. The sword was given to Xiao Lei by ????.]

[Attributes: Attack +1200 / Attack speed +50 / Agility +200 / Accuracy +50 / 10% chance to send the enemy flying when attacking / 15% chance to apply Parry effect.]

(Special skills):

[Wind Blade: Concentrates the power of the wind element on the blade of the sword and attacks 10 meters long * 2 meters wide in front of the user in a straight line. The damage is equivalent to 200% of a normal physical attack. Cooldown: 10 seconds. Cost: 400 MP]

[White Hurricane: Concentrate all the power of the sword and launch an attack that destroys all the enemies at 50 meters around the user. The damage caused is equivalent to 1000% of a normal physical attack. After use, the sword loses all its power for 24 hours. Cost: 2000 MP]

God grade! It was actually a Divine grade weapon!

At this point, no matter how good Xie Feng is at staying calm in any situation; even he could not stop his heart trembling fiercely. He can already imagine the level of commotion it would cause if news of the appearance of a God-grade item in a beginner's village. What's more, the item was a weapon!

Weapons and armor were naturally the most coveted and needed objects by all players.

Xie Feng is very clear that a God-grade weapon like this should not appear at this stage of the game no matter what, let alone in a beginner's village where the weakest monsters and NPCs are supposed to be found.

Although he had expected Xiao Lei to be a powerful existence, Xie Feng did not expect the strength of the old man wrinkled in front of him to be so frightening as to possess a divine sword!

What's more, what about those question marks in the description of the object, Xie Feng could not help but ask himself.

The weapon was priceless as described in it, however, Xie Feng was already expecting something like this. After all, the objects of Divine degree that exist can be counted with both hands of a person and maybe there are fingers left over.

In addition, Xie Feng was also thinking about something else.

Wouldn't this sword along with all the other heaven-defying objects be his once he completed the mission Xiao Lei entrusted him with?

As to whether the mission will be simple or not, Xie Feng will know once he hears stories about the Heaven of Samsara, when he sees inside and when he challenges the monsters that are locked inside.

__________

Xie Feng left Xiao Lei's store in low spirits. The reason?

Because the Currency Exchange System was not yet open and there was no information available about its opening, no player could exchange real world money for gold coins inside Samsara Online.

In simple words, Xie Feng will not be able to get even a Big Bear Apple, the cheapest item for sale by Xiao Lei.

His low mood was shaken only a moment later by Xie Feng.

He came into this world looking for challenges, excitement and fun. If in the initial part of the game he obtains such terrifying objects, probably the excitement of the game would be destroyed.

With such thoughts, Xie Feng went into the forest to level up.

***

Naturally, Xie Feng did not know that his enemies were not mere players.

However, he would no doubt have as many challenges and excitement as he was looking for.

As to whether he makes progress or stagnates, it will depend on whether he is strong enough to get through such challenges and whether luck is on his side or not.
