Chapter 167 The Element Dominator Faust

Shi Feng's indifferent answer stunned Nan Lang.

He had clearly informed Shi Feng of Underworld's foundation and terror, yet Shi Feng resolutely chose to oppose them and refused to hand over the flame.

Nan Lang had never encountered such a thing before.

"Do you think that knowing Bai Qingxue means Underworld won't dare to do anything to you? You're sorely mistaken," Nan Lang sneered. "Even the Snake of Devouring, who is currently rising to fame, wouldn't dare to oppose Underworld. What can a mere Vice President do? Bai Qingxue can't protect you. I'll give you one more chance. Hand over the flame, and you can continue to play comfortably in God's Domain. Otherwise, you won't have a place to stand in the entire God's Domain."

"Are you really incapable of understanding human speech, or are you just intellectually challenged?" Shi Feng smiled disdainfully. "You think you can just take something from me with a single sentence? Do you think God's Domain is your family's backyard? I'll tell you again, come at me if you dare. I want to see what you can do to me."

In his previous life, he might have succumbed, but things were different now. He had the capital and confidence to challenge a behemoth like Underworld.

Shi Feng's goal after rebirth was to accomplish what he couldn't in his previous life: to build his own virtual empire. This path was destined to pit him against many powerful forces in God's Domain.

If he bowed his head before Underworld, how could he fight against those God's Domain overlords in the future, competing for God's Domain resources, territories, equipment, and other items?

Although Underworld had immense power and a significant presence in the real world, no force, not even Underworld, could interfere with the Main God System in the second world of God's Domain, which was valued by all countries around the globe.

Even if Underworld wanted to investigate his real-world identity, they wouldn't be able to. After hundreds of years of development and refinement, virtual games had become excellent at protecting player privacy, making it impossible to trace real-world identities even through virtual transactions.

"Very well, it seems you are truly determined to oppose Underworld. Then prepare yourself for hell," Nan Lang said with furious laughter. He hadn't expected there to be someone so unafraid of death, someone who wouldn't shed a tear until they saw their own coffin.

Shi Feng was just a free player who didn't know the terror of Underworld, which was why he dared to speak so arrogantly. In Nan Lang's eyes, he was simply arrogant, self-important, and a fool who didn't know the meaning of fear.

Underworld's main forces were spread across two empires and several kingdoms, including Star-Moon Kingdom. As long as he reported this matter to his superiors, it wouldn't be long before a free player like Shi Feng couldn't survive in God's Domain and would obediently hand over the Epic-ranked item that could manipulate flames.

"Hell? I've been there countless times. I don't need you to send me there," Shi Feng shrugged and smiled.

With the Icy Blue Devil Flame and his current combat power, he wasn't afraid of any players. If they wanted to encircle and capture him, he would play guerrilla warfare. He leveled up quickly and had the stamina to endure. He didn't believe that any guild or power could afford to spend so much manpower and resources in Red Leaf Town to wear him down.

After saying that, Shi Feng hung up the call.

"Brother Feng, did something happen?" Hei Zi asked, sensing Shi Feng's anger from the conversation.

"It's nothing, just someone trying to rob me," Shi Feng said, playing down Underworld as a mere robber, "Let's focus on getting information from the NPCs."

"Okay," Hei Zi nodded.

Shi Feng spoke lightly, but Hei Zi knew that things weren't as simple as Shi Feng made them out to be. He secretly hated himself for not being able to help. If he were stronger, he might be able to assist Shi Feng.

It wasn't just Hei Zi. Lonely Snow also sensed that something was wrong and regretted her lack of strength.

"I must work hard to improve my skills and strength, so I don't drag Brother Feng down again."

Both of them felt an urgent desire to increase their strength.

On Nan Lang's side, after Shi Feng hung up, Nan Lang immediately contacted a high-ranking member of Underworld.

"Nan Lang, how is the Epic-ranked item situation going?"

"Young Master Feng, I've said everything I could, but that brat Ye Feng still refused. He even looks down on Underworld, saying we should try if we dare."

"Hahaha, what an interesting fellow. No wonder Qingxue is paying attention to him. It's been a long time since I've met such an arrogant person. Since he rejected my kindness, then let him disappear from God's Domain. I'll give you authority over all of Underworld's forces in White River City. Get that item for me as soon as possible."

"Yes, I will definitely complete the task."

After the call, Nan Lang breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from that person's tone, he was definitely angry. Otherwise, he would never have allowed him to use all of Underworld's power in White River City to deal with a single Shi Feng.

"Ye Feng, let's see how long you can stay carefree. Soon, you'll get a taste of what hell is like." Nan Lang thought of the arrogant Shi Feng and was filled with anger. However, the thought of being able to mobilize all of Underworld's forces in the White River City area made him excited.

Underworld might have few members, but they were all elite experts, some even being high-level figures in large guilds. Gathering all the power in the White River City area would surpass the power of an ordinary third-rate guild in White River City. Just thinking about being able to mobilize such power made him feel great.

Moreover, most of Underworld's members were players who walked in the shadows, loved to kill, and were best suited to deal with free players like Shi Feng.

…

While Nan Lang was plotting against Shi Feng, Shi Feng was talking to the NPC Faust, though it was a one-sided conversation.

From what Shi Feng knew, Faust was an eccentric old man.

Although Faust was an eccentric old man, he was a legendary figure, revered as the Element Dominator. In his youth, he had slain powerful dragons and sealed the Great Demon King Zak, who was equivalent to a Tier 5 class for humans. He had even been a tutor to the Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire. Legend had it that Faust had even fought with gods and survived. When he turned one hundred years old, he suddenly began wandering around God's Domain. Now, Faust was an old monster over three hundred years old.

Shi Feng couldn't determine how strong he was now, but he was definitely unfathomable.

Therefore, it was not easy to talk to Faust. The first point was to have enough strength to catch Faust's eye, and the second point was to have delicious cuisine.

Only by meeting these two points would Faust give players a rare quest, "Delicious Golden Fish," and completing this quest would yield rewards.

Wanting to display enough strength in front of Faust was actually very simple: dealing over one hundred damage to the Golden Fish. However, it was extremely difficult for players around Level 10 to deal over one hundred damage to the Golden Fish. They would need to be around Level 20, wearing a full set of Bronze equipment, and wielding a Mysterious-Iron-grade weapon to accomplish this. Moreover, before displaying their strength, they had to say a few words to Faust. On the surface, Faust didn't pay attention to the players, but he was secretly observing them.

However, as soon as Shi Feng finished speaking and was about to let Hei Zi and the others say a few words, the two of them cursed Faust first. But this could also be considered as having received Faust's attention...
