Chapter 283 Arena

Xiao Feng had concealed his identity before he headed towards the entrance of the General’s Tomb, but he was recognized by others at the entrance.

“Look! Isn’t that Master Healer?”

At the entrance of the General’s Tomb, there were at least more than 30 teams of instance zone. Among these teams, half of the players were from the Midsummer Guild. The players of the Midsummer Guild had experience in passing instance zones and their power was somewhat embodied.

The players who recognized Xiao Feng were also from one of the teams of the Midsummer Guild. The team happened to follow Xiao Feng to open the trail the day before yesterday. Because Xiao Feng’s fashionable dress was the same as that he wore the day before yesterday, he was easily recognized. Midsummer Leaf said to the female player in front of her.

“Is that him?”

The female player was not Liu Qiangwei but Midsummer Lily. In fact, the friend list of Xiao Feng indicated that Liu Qiangwei hadn’t logged on.

After seeing Xiao Feng, Midsummer Lily thought for a while and walked over hesitantly, asking Xiao Feng.

“Hello, where is our miss?”

“How do I know? Why don’t you call her?” Xiao Feng said casually.

“You… Doesn’t our miss live with you? Aren’t you going to be responsible for her after sleeping with her?” Midsummer Lily said that with a resentful look.

“Hey! You must be responsible for what you say. I didn’t do anything to her. Don’t say it like I’ve done anything to her!” Xiao Feng said impatiently.

“You mean you didn’t do anything to her?” Midsummer Lily was surprised and looked at Xiao Feng doubtfully.

“Do I have to lie to you? It’s like that she can resist if I want to do something.” Xiao Feng snorted and felt disgruntled about being suspected. Did he have to do anything to Liu Qiangwei?

“Oh, good then…” Midsummer Lily was relieved with a sigh and gave a rejoiced look. Putting aside her pride, she was only an innocent girl, so she looked at Xiao Feng in a less hostile way.

“By the way, you should bring your miss to the department of neurology for a checkup. I really suspect that she is sick. And Si Yejing is sick too.” Xiao Feng said and then was about to turn around to enter the instance zone.

“Ah?” Midsummer Lily didn’t understand what Xiao Feng was talking about but when she saw Xiao Feng was going into the entrance of the instance zone, she hastened to stop him.

“Wait! Are you going to pass the instance zone?”

“Yes, what’s up?” Xiao Feng stopped and said in confusion.

“Well, if you are going to do this alone, could you bring a team of our guild?” Midsummer Lily looked at Xiao Feng and asked carefully.

“This is the case. Midsummer Guild has taken the first pass of the trail opening mission, so a lot of guilds come to ask us for the strategy of passing the instance zone. However, we have been trying to challenge the instance zone since yesterday but we only passed the first boss. We cannot even defeat the second boss. How can we offer them a strategy? Now our miss is not online. After all, you are so capable. Can you help us write the strategy?”

The Midsummer Guild did have a team that succeeded in opening the trail of the General’s Tomb with Xiao Feng before, but the problem was that basically only Xiao Feng killed the creeps and final bosses by then while the team didn’t reach the creeps at all, let alone knowing what kills the bosses had. In no way could they conjure a strategy for the instance zone.

“Okay. Form a team right now. I am in a hurry.”

Xiao Feng thought for a while and felt that it was okay to bring some more players to pass the instance zone. Hence, he nodded his head and sent a request of forming a team to Midsummer Lily.

While Midsummer Lily was forming a team, Xiao Feng looked at the merit monument at the entrance of the instance zone. On the merit monument there was only a record of passing indeed—He successfully opened the trail with Midsummer Guild, which was ranked No. 1. It had been two days since the trail of the General’s Tomb was opened but no other players passed it yet. According to Midsummer Lily, if one could defeat the second boss, he must be a capable player then.

Xiao Feng was quite busy today. Apart from passing the instance zone, he had to buy the commercial areas of the imperial city. He couldn’t do that in the title of Archbishop before but now as a duke, he could surely make it. He also needed to get familiar with the functions of the imperial city. After all, the imperial city was a more advanced map than the main city.

Thinking of that, Xiao Feng gave another call to Qian Duoduo, asking her whether she would come to join the quest of the instance zone and gain levels. Qian Duoduo was only at 10-something level, who was far less qualified to enter the imperial city. It would be awkward if she could not enter the imperial city by the time when commercial areas were bought in.

It was a pity that Qian Duoduo was planning the City of Gloom excitedly and had no interest in leveling up, so she just rejected Xiao Feng randomly.

“Brother Xiao! Money is not a problem! All the commercial areas of the imperial city must be taken down! If needed, we can rent or borrow the areas. Anyway, we cannot let go of any commercial area!”

Yet, when Xiao Feng asked Qian Duoduo how many commercial areas of the imperial city he should buy, she replied like this.

Her voice was determined beyond doubt as well as full of ambition and resolution!

Midsummer Lily formed a team quickly. She made up a team of 20 players in less than 5 minutes. Of course, apart from Xiao Feng, the other players were all from the Midsummer Guild, including top players and lame players with ordinary equipment. It seemed that Xiao Feng had to spend a lot of efforts in the quest.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Feng was okay with that. Bringing the team would only slower his pace of passing the instance zone. In order to make a strategy, he had to test out the bosses’ skills, so he couldn’t sec-kill the bosses then.

Several players of the Midsummer team joined the quest of opening the trail the day before yesterday. Maybe they had told the others about Master Healer, so the other players were all awed by Xiao Feng. On the way they all followed behind Xiao Feng carefully and didn’t dare to offend him at all.

It was needless to talk about the creeps. No special methods were required. Xiao Feng could just sec-kill them. After all, if one couldn’t cope with the creeps, he shouldn’t come to challenge the level-25 instance zone.

Because Xiao Feng’s experience points were still stuck at the 99.99% of the 30th level, after the first group of creeps was wiped out, a white light that marked a level up immediately rose from the body of Xiao Feng, which made others even more awed. It was even more difficult to shake Master Healer’s ranking on the Leaderboard.

The Midsummer Guild had a strategy for defeating the first boss, so Xiao Feng didn’t have to help with that. Therefore, he started with the second boss directly.

At the moment, Xiao Feng received a notification telling him that Liu Qiangwei also logged on. Afterwards, Midsummer Lily retreated to the corner and picked up a call. She took a look at Xiao Feng and then said a few words over the call in a low voice before she hung up.

It took him about one hour to make the strategy for the General’s Tomb and Midsummer Lily would be responsible for compiling the notes. After Midsummer Lily expressed her thanks to him, Xiao Feng just left. He returned to the main city via the Town Portal Scroll and then teleported himself to the imperial city.

With the title of Duke, Xiao Feng wandered in the imperial city unimpeded. The NPC minister responsible for commercial areas welcomed him politely. When Xiao Feng asked to rent all the commercial areas, the minister appeared awkward. Yet, thanks to the title of Duke, they reached a deal eventually.

Xiao Feng went to the City of Gloom and obtained the golden coins from Qian Duoduo. Then he returned to the Minister’s Residence to acquire the deeds of all the commercial areas. In this way, the commercial district of the imperial city, the core city of future players, had been occupied by the Treasure Pavilion. After the mainstream players entered the imperial city via the second profession transfer, the influence power and the value created by the Treasure Pavilion would hit another peak!

It was good that the Treasure Pavilion was rich. Qian Duoduo took out tens of millions of golden coins to buy the land without even blinking. The golden coins were worth billions of real money!

Qian Duoduo’s generosity made Xiao Feng greatly stupefied.

It was also understandable. In terms of the power of the Treasure Pavilion, it became an ally of the Midsummer that was currently like the sun at high noon. No wonder other grand guilds had to recognize the overlord status of the Midsummer Guild.

The game world and the real world were exactly alike. To combat was about money. Whoever spent more money prevailed. In the Huaxia District, the financial resources of the Treasure Pavilion couldn’t be underestimated.

“Arena…”

Xiao Feng was standing in an area of the imperial city, where there was a building like an arena surrounded by numerous spectator seats.

And this area only had one function—PK!

This was the function that main cities didn’t have and PK was always the indispensable feature of online games. Unexpectedly, he could only start this in the imperial city after the second profession transfer.

Arena was also called as PK field, field of honor and so on in different games, but the function was the same. It was the favorite place of PK-loving players as well the field where a player’s capability could be best demonstrated.

A player might lag behind some top player in terms of equipment and level, but he could conquer the opponent in PK, which made him a real master! This was the best place to demonstrate one’s capability!

There were audience, ranking, fame, privilege and rewards. PK and creeping were always the two themes of online games. And the arena solely owned by the imperial city would be absolutely popular in the future!

Even Xiao Feng wanted the skill point reward among the PK rewards of the arena. It was the good stuff that could upgrade the skill experience point quickly.

Most importantly, if the competition of players would step on the global stage just like the one five years ago, the game Myth would surely feature with PK!

And the arena was undoubtedly such a land of selection!

Standing at the entrance of the arena, Xiao Feng stayed silent and didn’t leave.

After a while, when the mainstream players flooded into the imperial city, this would be his home court, where he would compete with others, reach the summit and get on the ranking list.

If the game world of Myth would become the global conflict solving center, the top players of various countries would walk out of the arena and step on the global stage to fight for their own countries!

Xiao Feng wouldn’t miss the opportunity because this was the chance for him to reach the one behind all the schemes again!
