Chapter 1 Heading to the Library

Going to Red Leaf Town's library was dangerous. If an ordinary player went, there was a 30% chance they would die once, and the remaining 70% chance they would die many times.

So, before heading to the library, Shi Feng stored the Solid Stone and Philosopher's Stone in the bank warehouse. After all, these items were guaranteed to drop upon death, and it would be a huge loss if he died even once while going to the library.

Immediately, Shi Feng took out the four skill books he had just bought and clicked to learn them.

Eye of Observation: Able to perceive unknown and hidden targets, with a certain chance to discover the target's weaknesses. Cooldown time: 40 seconds.

Wind Rider: Uses wind to envelop the entire body, increasing movement speed by 30% and providing a 50% chance to evade ranged damage. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown time: 2 minutes.

Ground Splitter: Equipment requirement: sword. Deals 30 points of base damage to the target, and can increase weapon damage by up to 300% based on the charge time of 0.2 seconds to 3 seconds. Attack range: 8 yards. Cooldown time: 1 minute.

Sword Return to Heaven: Equipment requirement: sword. Increases normal attack range by 10 yards and can withstand up to 6 ranged attacks or 3 melee attacks. Duration: 25 seconds. Cooldown time: 3 minutes.

With these skills, his survivability and attack power were greatly enhanced, so going to the library shouldn't be a big problem.

Red Leaf Town's library was far from the trade area, located in the slums of Red Leaf Town.

The slums were the hottest place besides the trade area, a melting pot of all kinds of people. The nights there were a favorite for some players, because the slums had another name.

The Fallen Land of Peach Blossoms!

As soon as Shi Feng stepped into this Land of Peach Blossoms, he noticed the greedy gazes coming from the streets. These rats hidden in the darkness were not accepted by the light and roamed the edge of hell.

In God's Domain, there was always a group of players who were different from ordinary people. They were not interested in dungeon guides and thrilling adventures. The only thing they were interested in was plunder, killing players and seizing their equipment, and then selling it to others at high prices to earn a lot of money.

During the day, they would level up and find players with good equipment to seize their equipment. At night, they would sell their stolen goods here, and after getting the money, they would come here to drink and make merry, boasting about their gains and showing off their strength, thereby enhancing their status here. Normal players never set foot here. If their strength was insufficient, the result would be death, because this place was not protected by guards.

Shi Feng glanced at the players hidden in the corners and found that these players were marked in red, indicating that they had done a lot of killing and equipment snatching.

In God's Domain, red-named players simply could not enter player protected areas. After being killed, equipment drop rates increased, and death penalties were increased by up to 300%. Moreover, entering protected areas would result in being caught by guards, who would determine the length of imprisonment based on the player's sin value. Even so, there were still many players who chose this path, after all, the gains came quickly, and red-named players also had places to stay in towns, such as the slums. Moreover, to accept good quests in the slums, one had to be yellow-named or even red-named.

Shi Feng ignored these players who lived by licking blood off blades and directly passed through the main street of the slums. There were many scantily clad and enchanting women on both sides of the street, and after seeing Shi Feng dressed well, they all threw flirtatious glances at Shi Feng, wanting to spend a pleasant night with Shi Feng in order to earn some money.

"Little brother, are you here for fun? Come to me, I guarantee you can have a pleasant night." An alluring woman in a bright red leather skirt blocked Shi Feng's path.

Shi Feng directly used Eye of Observation.

Xia Lian, Elite, Level 8, Health Points 1200/1200.

"Hahaha, Xia Lian, you want to steal again? How can you not count us in for such a good thing." A group of fierce-looking strong men walked over, each with a sneer on their faces.

"Is this a robbery?" Shi Feng glanced around and asked indifferently, discovering that he was surrounded by NPCs. In the corner of a dilapidated house, there were also several red-named players with sneers on their faces.

Being robbed by NPCs in the dark areas of God's Domain was normal, and it was not the first time he had been robbed by NPCs. The most memorable time was when he was robbed by an NPC Battle Emperor in the Creation Mountain Range, and he was forced to pay the toll.

An Level 8 Elite plus a group of Level 7 ordinary NPCs was nothing at all. It was his own fault for coming to the slums.

"Boy, it seems you're quite savvy. We won't make things difficult for you. Hand over 5 silver coins, and we'll let you pass. Otherwise, we'll do it ourselves." A scarred strong man sneered.

"Then come and get it." Shi Feng sneered and drew the Abyssal Blade.

If you paid the toll, then congratulations, not only would you lose your money, but you would also die once, dropping at least one piece of equipment. This was why ordinary players had a 30% chance of dying once when they came here. Wanting these NPCs who roamed the edge of darkness to keep their promises meant that your brain must be broken.

A trace of ferocity appeared on Xia Lian's charming face.

"Boy, you're asking for death!" A Level 7 strong man with a knife lunged at Shi Feng.

Without saying a word, Shi Feng stabbed out with the Abyssal Blade.

Double Chop, Slash, Wind Lightning Flash, Ground Splitter, one sword after another pierced through the strong man's heart and neck. Relying on Shi Feng's bronze equipment and the Abyssal Blade's attack power, he directly reduced the 750 health points to zero.

"Anyone else?" Shi Feng swept his gaze across all the NPCs and said coldly.

The NPCs were shocked by Shi Feng and made way for him, while the players hidden in the corners were also taken aback. He killed a Level 7 NPC in two or three moves. This player was too strong. They would naturally not bother players who were too tough. Here, strength was everything, so they quietly dispersed.

Only Xia Lian seemed very interested in Shi Feng.

"Little brother, you are so amazing, I really admire you. I wonder where you are going. I can lead the way and save you a lot of trouble, and you only need to pay a small price." Xia Lian walked towards Shi Feng and smiled faintly.

"No need to trouble yourself, I know the way to the library." Shi Feng didn't want to get entangled with these NPCs. He just wanted to find clues to the Elven Language Diary.

Hearing Shi Feng say this, Xia Lian smiled even more happily.

"I am the librarian, Xia Lian. You can ask me about anything regarding the library. No one is more familiar than me." Xia Lian stuck out her proud twin peaks and smiled charmingly.

"Isn't Red Leaf Town's librarian a saintly nun?" Shi Feng didn't believe it.

"Oh, you mean this?" Xia Lian took out a nun's habit and put it on directly. In an instant, the wild temperament disappeared, and she was like a female angel descending to earth, infinitely sacred, making all beings involuntarily want to confess in front of her.

At the same time, the displayed data also changed.

Saintly Nun Xia Lian, Divine Official, Level 20, Health Points 10000/10000.

Shi Feng was also stunned. What was going on? Do NPCs also have part-time jobs?
