Samsara Online
chapter-29

When Xie Feng logged out of Samsara Online it was past 9pm.

Although he spent all afternoon killing monsters and gaining experience non-stop, unfortunately he could not level up even once. This only shows how difficult it really is to go to the next level compared to the previous one.

Even so, his experience bar was approximately 85% full. So it will not take him too long to advance to level 7.

***

Xie Feng got out of bed and stretched his body slightly stiff from being in the same position for so many hours at a time.

According to the explanation given by Eva, creator of Samsara Online, when the player logs in to the game; his mind is transported to the virtual world. Therefore, the player's body cannot move during that period of time.

After all, if people make wrong moves because they are playing, they could hurt themselves unnecessarily.

After finishing stretching, Xie Feng left the room and heard the sound of beautiful laughter and voices from the kitchen. He couldn't help but smile a little as he walked down the stairs to the 1st floor.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, Xie Feng saw Xie Yao with Gu Qianxue preparing the dinner. He was surprised to see that Gu Qianxue was actually very skilled with kitchen utensils, even without her sense of sight, she did not look at all stiff.

"Beautiful ladies, you need help?". said Xie Feng with a smile as he walked.

Xie Yao was about to say something but Gu Qianxue made a move that left her stunned.

Gu Qianxue left the knife in her hands and, wearing a beautiful purple apron over her clothes, walked over to Xie Feng and took his hand.

Then, with a beautiful innocent smile, she said: "Xie Feng just now we were talking about you. Xie Yao said that tomorrow, after the university, the three of us would go together to buy clothes."

Suddenly, Gu Qianxue seemed to remember something and said in a guilty tone: "This all started because I forgot my luggage...I'm sorry."

Xie Feng coughed slightly and looked to Xie Yao for help because of Gu Qianxue's sudden approach.

'This girl is too careless and trusting with people', he thought to himself and inwardly put on a bitter smile.

Xie Yao didn't know what to do about it either, so she just waved her hands quickly. Seeing this, Xie Feng didn't worry too much either. From his point of view, Gu Qianxue is a little girl in the body of an adult.

Suddenly, Xie Feng remembered something important. He used his free hand to hit his forehead while complaining: "How careless I was. How could I have forgotten?"

Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue looked at him in confusion, so Xie Feng looked at Gu Qianxue and asked quickly: "Qianxue, your father...errr...Uncle Gu, did he give you something for me?"

Listening to his question, Gu Qianxue tilted her head slightly to one side in a cute and thoughtful way for a moment. After several seconds, she seemed to remember something because after a scream, she ran to the sofa.

When Xie Yao and Xie Feng saw her suddenly run out into the living room, they were scared and went after her. However, the worries of both were unnecessary as Gu Qianxue could move perfectly as if her blindness was just an illusion.

From inside her designer bag, Gu Qianxue took out a blue USB device and quickly handed it to Xie Feng while saying: "My father said I should give this to you and only you. Here, here it is."

Xie Feng took the USB drive from Gu Qianxue's hands and looked at it thoughtfully as he threw it in the air and picked it up again.

Seeing Xie Feng's gaze lost in thought, Xie Yao spoke quietly: "Big brother Xie Feng, is something wrong? what is it?"

Xie Yao's voice brought Xie Feng out of his inner world. After capturing the USB drive he had launched earlier, he smiled and gently tapped the device on Xie Yao's forehead as he said: "It's nothing, just some work stuff. Don't worry. YaoYao, Qianxue, you two continue with what you were doing, I'll go take a shower before dinner is ready."

Leaving those words behind, Xie Feng climbed the stairs and went to the second floor.

As Xie Feng walked up the stairs, Xie Yao looked at his back with misty eyes, full of affection and worry. Although she knows that Xie Feng made a deal with Gu Qianxue's father, Gu Pojun, in the past; she did not know the terms of the trade between the two.

However, since Xie Feng didn't want to say anything about it, she knows that no matter how much he insists he won't tell her. Therefore, she could only support him in silence from behind.

***

After climbing the stairs, Xie Feng walked down the hall and stopped in front of the last door. This door is the studio previously used by the father of Xie Yao and now used for Xie Feng.

The studio had everything needed for a person to work comfortably for several hours, including a shelf full of expensive drinks.

Xie Feng walked over to the glass shelf and pulled out a bottle of wine. On the label attached to the bottle of the alcoholic beverage were written the words Nectar of Heaven.

Xie Yao's family has so much money because her father somehow managed to create an extremely delicious wine. The wine prepared with the recipe created by Xie Yao's father was so delicious and unique that, after drinking it, the people would be disgusted to drink other types of wine.

Even at the terrifying price of 20,000 yuan, the people were still lining up to buy it. That's how unique the Nectar of Heaven is.

After taking a bottle, Xie Feng took a glass cup and went to the seat behind the desk.

Once seated, he poured a glass for himself and turned on the laptop computer on the desktop.

After turning on the laptop, Xie Feng put the USB device into the corresponding slot. A white password window opened. He wrote a combination of numbers and letters, for a total of 17 characters.

Immediately afterwards, a single file was displayed. Xie Feng bent down comfortably on the leather chair and picked up the glass with one hand, then, with a chilling look, he opened the folder.

After double clicking on the file, a window with a lot of information and photos was displayed on the screen.

Xie Feng took over 1 hour to read each word carefully, for fear of missing the smallest detail. After reading, he finished drinking the glass of wine and closed his eyes as he leaned back and, while tapping the index finger of his right hand on the table, organized the information he had just obtained in his head.

Three years ago, Xie Yao's father, Xie Huan, was contacted by several families and companies trying to buy the formula for the creation of the Nectar of Heaven.

The wine was so exquisite that, in a few more decades, it could become the world market leader, the king of wines. Anyone with discerning eyes could notice the gold mine that the Xie family was sitting on, waiting to be slowly explored.

Xie Huan, as an intelligent man, naturally also knew not to sell the goose that lays the golden eggs. Therefore, no matter how generous a sum of money or terms and covenants these people offered, he rejected them all without hesitation.

Unfortunately, only 1 month after rejecting the last offer, exactly 2 years ago, both Xie Huan and his wife Rong An died in a car accident.

According to the police, the car's brakes failed due to poor vehicle maintenance. However, how could a car worth millions of yuan fail so easily? Unfortunately, the Xie family only had money and no political power. Therefore, Xie Feng and Xie Yao could only accept in silence.

But, how could Xie Feng just sit back and do nothing? Although he may not show it much, he is an extremely arrogant and proud person. His pride is deeply engraved in his bones and soul, as if his birth was superior to all the rest.

Xie Feng never owed anything to anyone, except to three people.

These three people are; Xie Yao, Xie Huan and Rong An.

Seeing that the authorities would do nothing about it, he approached the most powerful person in all of China; Gu Pojun, the current patriarch of the Gu family and director of the NSA.

After showing his ability, Xie Feng made a deal of mutual convenience with Gu Pojun.

Clear information about what happened that day in exchange for 3 missions.

Since the people responsible for the death of Xie Yao's parents have so much political power and the Chinese government would do nothing about it, he will take matters into his own hands.

Since the law is corrupt, then he will take revenge.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...and a drop of blood for a drop of blood", Xie Feng murmured with his eyes closed.

Although his tone of voice was casual, it was charged with a murderous intent that could freeze a person's bones if he got too close.

And, as if responding to his desire, his eyes lit up with a blue color.

Even with the window and door closed, a gust of wind suddenly appeared inside the studio and blew Xie Feng's dark hair away.

Xie Feng's eyes returned to normal and the wind disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

"I'm getting closer and closer...I just need a little more information before I move...YaoYao, I will definitely take revenge for you."
