"I-Its that person... Shiva again!". An archer said as he looked up to the sky after hearing the voice of the system.
Beside the archer, his friends looked at each other, stunned. None of them understood what was happening.
Back in the Beginner’s Village, Shiva was the only player to pass the job-change trial in Despair mode. Not only was he the only one, but he also did it alone, and no one has the right to criticize him after seeing the video posted in the Samsara Online forum.
The player with the highest level of all China and also the player with the highest fame points of all Chinese server. Until now, as long as a player looked at the big screen ranking tables in the central square of the city, the first thing they would see would be the name, Shiva!
First in levels and first in fame. Besides, the difference is not so simple that it can be overcome in one or two days!
Now, only two days after leaving the Beginners’ Village, he again shook the whole world with an atrocious feat. Fighting and defeating a Boss grade EMPEROR!
What’s more, the fact that the system only announces Shiva’s name, and no one else means that he has once again overcome the challenge alone!
Anyone who looked at Xie Feng’s fame points at this point could deduce that he did it alone. After all, his current fame points were over 1000. This means that he must have killed a high-grade boss and taken all the fame points for himself.
Therefore, even without the system’s announcement, all players who are not dumb could come to such a simple conclusion.
The Chinese player Shiva began to be seen as a man covered by a veil of mystery.
At the same time, many first world countries began to pay attention to this person who jumped to fame so fast.
Although many people still suspected that Shiva had found a loophole in the game and took advantage of it, most of them were not stupid people. Not everyone had their judgment clouded by the pride of refusing to admit that there was someone superior.
Therefore, most of the players started to see this Chinese player as a person with a monstrous talent.
While many male players secretly swore to outdo him, many female players wondered what kind of appearance he would have.
Who knows... he could be a young man in his twenties who is still going to college...
__________________
Naturally, Xie Feng did not know the amount of commotion caused by the announcement of the system. He also didn’t know that most Chinese players were beginning to see it as a special entity in the virtual world.
At this moment, Xie Feng was on one knee while watching Shui Wuhen. A minute had passed since he defeated Shui Xiu, but he didn’t even bother to look at the war booty. This is because Shui Wuhen’s life would be over at any moment, so he was thinking of a countermeasure.
What made it difficult for him is that this little girl, who didn’t even cry while being tormented by a curse, was crying in silence as she watched her father fall to the ground... lifeless.
Killing Shui Xiu was the only way he could live, also the only way Shui Wuhen would have a chance to survive. Even though he knows he did the right thing, he couldn’t help but feel guilt at seeing her cry... After all, no matter what his reason or motives were, it is a fact that he killed her father.
"Dad... Why...". She murmured in tears before her eyes closed. She had fainted.
Like a roller coaster, Shui Wuhen had faced many emotional ups and downs for three days in a row. Not only was she kidnapped and almost killed by her father, she now has her life minutes counted and even her father died in front of her eyes... It’s surprising enough that a girl her age hasn’t collapsed yet.
The problem is, now that her pretty little eyes had closed, there was a possibility that they would never open again.
Xie Feng hadn’t felt this nervous in a long time. A drop of sweat slowly trickled down his face, his eyebrows were pressed tightly against each other, his teeth were clenched and his fists were closed hard.
The time passed slowly as if it wanted to make fun of him for not being able to do anything about it.
’Will a life really be lost just like that?’.
’Will I was not able to protect this pure and innocent girl who was even willing to give her life for me?’.
Four minutes passed.
*Bang* "I really can’t do anything about it? Damn it!". Xie Feng hit his fist hard on the ground and cursed out loud.
"Something... there must be something... Let’s see... Curse, something that can eliminate a curse...".
Xie Feng did his best to calm down and started thinking about countermeasures. It was only then that he suddenly remembered something.
Without delay, he quickly opened his inventory. After some searching, in a secluded corner, he found what he was looking for.
It was a small but elegant glass jar. One could clearly see a strange liquid with a reddish color inside. This jar is something that Xie Feng obtained in the Beginner’s Village, something that he forgot because the description and effect of this item were too strange.
[Elixir of Life: A unique elixir that can cure any disease or deficiency of a person’s soul. Effect: Can resolve 1 negative effect on a person’s soul. The effect does not work twice on the same person. Quantity: 1.]
It was naturally impossible for him to remember at all times, all the objects and all the effects of everything he got.
It is not that it is impossible; it is just that it would be a waste of energy. Imagine remembering, even while sleeping or taking a shower, what you ate yesterday, the day before, and the day before. Instead of wasting his time and energy like this, he preferred to do something productive.
But that is precisely why he forgot this object. Although he was unsure if this elixir could save Shui Wuhen’s life, he was more than willing to try.
He took the vial with the elixir inside and opened it. Immediately afterward, a sweet smell spread through the cave room.
Xie Feng put the bottle to Shui Wuhen’s lips and poured some liquid. However, because she was unconscious, there was no way for the reddish liquid to run down her throat.
He looked at Shui Wuhen’s lips... But he hesitated.
Clearly, he needed to give her mouth-to-mouth. The reason he hesitated was not because of dirty thoughts. Not even for a moment did evil thoughts pass through his mind. Much less for a child who was only ten years old.
The reason for his hesitation is that if a man touches a woman, it doesn’t matter if he is a player or an NPC; he will be punished heavily by the system. In mild cases, a simple warning... and in strong cases, lightning will strike the guilty man, killing him.
The rest of the players will simply lose a level and some pieces of equipment... The problem is that if Xie Feng dies, he will return to level 0 immediately after.
Xie Feng’s hesitation disappeared as quickly as it appeared. He put some liquid in his mouth, opened Shui Wuhen’s lips, and started pouring the liquid into the girl’s mouth carefully.
After making sure she had drunk all of the liquid, Xie Feng backed away slightly and impatiently looked at her. Fortunately, he did not have to wait long for the effects to show.
Shui Wuhen’s sickly pale face disappeared only seconds later and the black veins began to return to normal with the naked eye until they were no longer visible. The frown on her face also relaxed and her breathing became stable again.
Clearly, it had worked... The curse receded.
"*Phew!*"... Xie Feng sighed excessively and sat down on the ground with a look of relief. The elixir of life was the only hope he had; otherwise, he wouldn’t know what else to do.
Although Shui Wuhen had not yet opened her eyes, Xie Feng was not worried. After all that had happened, she was too tired, probably not waking up until tomorrow, after recovering from the mental fatigue.
After resting for a moment, Xie Feng turned his gaze to the pile of objects glowing on the ground. He defeated Shui Xiu, saved Shui Wuhen’s life, and was able to take her back to her mother.
Free of most of his worries, he stood up and walked towards his reward.
The first thing Xie Feng did was collect all the gold coins, and surprisingly, there were almost 700. Only then did he turn his eyes to the bright items.
Xie Feng almost screamed out loud when he saw 3 silver and 2 gold shines! Three silver items and two gold items!
However, there was something that caught his attention.
A mask.
The mask looked really unique. It was divided in two, one half was white as snow, and the other half was black as night. In the white part, there was an eye and half a mouth with a friendly black smile. In the dark part, there was an eye and half a mouth with a cruel white smile.
Xie Feng could not help but be attracted to it and unconsciously squatted and picked up the mask.
