God-level Hero-Chapter 948 - 894: Return to Fatalon to Claim the Reward

Chapter 948: Chapter 894: Return to Fatalon to Claim the Reward
At 3:30 PM, Da Fei, who was napping in the auto-mode, was awakened by the cheering of the fleet. Fatalon had arrived.
Finally, the station was reached. Da Fei stretched long and lazily. At this moment, Samael was on the shore, smiling and waving to Da Fei.
Although he knew that such occurrences with God-level NPCs were not surprising, Da Fei still feigned surprise and asked, "Lord Samael, weren’t you supposed to be modifying the barracks on my Flying ship?"
Samael laughed, "It’s not just Lilim who can have numerous clones. Warrior, I just received neutral s from the Song of the Dead and the Sea of the Giant Crab. I really can’t imagine, Undead creatures would find it hard to maintain neutrality with each other, let alone with me. But if it’s you, Warrior, achieving such a situation is indeed as expected. Without a doubt, you are my most trusted and important comrade, so I must reward you to the best of my ability!"
Hahaha! It’s here, it’s here! The Epic Quest reward! Since the City Lord already conferred it, I’m not hoping for domain rewards. And there’s no expecting you, a Lower Angel standing guard for thousands or tens of thousands of years, to have Divine Artifacts. But at least give some sort of Divine Skill as a gesture, right?
While anticipating in his heart, Da Fei put on a faint smile and said, "You are too kind, my lord!"
Sure enough, Samael’s tone shifted to one filled with emotion, "It’s just a pity, I can’t impart to you any Hero professions or titles like that officer from the Divine Punishment City, nor do I have any wealth to reward you with. The only thing I can reward you with is my combat skills!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a golden light flashed above Da Fei’s head!
——System Prompt: Your reputation in Fatalon has become "Trusted".
——System Prompt: You have completed the third stage of Death Angel Samael’s Epic Quest "New Pattern of Nether Sea World" titled "Eliminate Hostile Territories", and have received Samael’s "Master-level Attack Skill" reward! You have gained 3 million experience points.
——System Prompt: You have additionally lobbied a neutral faction, earning an extra reward of the hidden skill "Weapon Mastery Skill Legacy".
——System Prompt: You have learned the Master-level Attack Skill, and your melee forces’ damage has increased by 60%!
——Weapon Mastery Skill Legacy: Upon use, you can learn the basic level of Weapon Mastery Skill, with sub-skills including "Long Weapon Mastery", "Heavy Weapon Mastery", "Light Weapons Mastery", "Remote Weapon Mastery", and "Shield Mastery". The effects of these sub-skills improve with the increase in the main skill level.
Long Weapon Mastery: When at the basic weapon mastery level, the hero and the hero’s long weapon units gain an additional attack speed +1, attack +1, and critical rate +1% special effects.
Shield Mastery: At the basic weapon mastery level, the hero and the hero’s shield-carrying units gain additional defense +1, damage reduction of 5%, and a 1% reduction in enemy critical rate special effects.
....
No way, a real skill reward, I’ve become another Grandmaster! And as soon as I see this Weapon Mastery Skill, I instantly recall what the Habbit Village Chief said back then about the Weapon Master. Is the Weapon Master the profession version of this skill?
Da Fei excitedly asked, "Lord Samael, what is the relationship between this Weapon Mastery Skill and the Weapon Master?"
Samael laughed, "As expected of my most trusted warrior, you actually know about the Weapon Master! When both your Attack and Defense Skills reach Master-level, and you have learned all the skills of the Weapon Mastery Skill, you can advance to the Weapon Master profession."
——System Prompt: You have obtained information about the Hidden Profession "Weapon Master".
More information! Da Fei couldn’t help but feel a bit pained, "But I have too many professions now, it seems I’ve reached the limit for a mortal’s professions!"
Samael laughed, "Why not transcend mortality and not be a mortal then?"
Da Fei raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Become a God? A Demigod?"
Samael laughed, "You already possess the Holy Frost Body, you are on the path of transcending sainthood, but mere strength is not enough, you also need wisdom. You need to read more books, learn various kinds of knowledge, and visit and gain the recognition of the Ancient Sages to obtain their imparted wisdom!"
In that instant, a great door abruptly opened to Da Fei! Excitedly, Da Fei continued to ask, "Who are considered Ancient Sages?"
Samael sighed long and deeply, "That’s hard to say. I don’t know if, in the eyes of mortals, I would be considered a sage?"
Everyone including Da Fei was momentarily stunned!
Samael then laughed out loud, "Just kidding! I don’t even recognize a few words in Miss Anlicia’s book of Ancient Divine Talismans, so I’m certainly unworthy. But perhaps, among the warlords of the Nether Sea, there might be those who can impart wisdom to you?"
No way, this is clearly telling me to work hard and develop this place?
Miss Anlicia eagerly asked, "So, if one recognizes the Divine Talismans in this book, does that mean they’re considered sages?"
Samael shook his head with a smile and said, "It’s hard to say. Actually, many times people gain more beyond the results while pursuing them, making the results less important."
Da Fei nodded constantly: "I see!" At the end of the day, it’s about buying books in the game, doing academic research, and becoming a Grand Mage! It’s like the library idle gameplay, the most frustrating and least welcome by players, but evidently the most high-end playstyle. Alright, I’ll deal with Anlicia’s secret skill along the way during my quest for divinity.
At that moment, Da Fei suddenly noticed that Samael’s figure began to blur and fade, and he couldn’t help but ask in surprise, "Lord Samael, what’s happening to you?"
Samael laughed and said, "A clone of mine is fully devoted to transforming the barracks on the Flying, and this clone is forcibly teaching you a Master-level Skill. Even as a god, I can’t handle it anymore. Anyway, I’m off to rest and save energy, manage things here by yourself."
After saying this, the image disappeared.
Alright, I’ll arrange things myself then. At this time, the pirates had already laid out a dozen huge canvases on the shore and began to consciously transport the "Crab Meat" ashore and pile it up. Meanwhile, the more than two thousand skeleton dragon people all used the special skill "extinguishing their Soul Fire" and sat dead and still on the deck. For the Undead, Fatalon is a land of death; they can only survive by hibernating.
It must be said, this is really a frustrating thing, very much like the barrier of Divine Punishment City. Fine, it’s time I head to Divine Punishment City.
Da Fei started mobilizing the troops to help transport and then grabbed a few units from the "Crab Meat" being transported ashore to carry as samples. Then, he activated the Nightmare Crystal again. With a change of scene, Da Fei was once again floating in Nightmare Space.
This time, eager, Da Fei looked down into the sea of fire and was astonished! In just a few game days absent, the tiny reef in the sea of fire had expanded several times over, now large enough to build a house on! The Duke truly deserved the title, indeed having vast energy; goodness knows how many children he mobilized during this period!
In this moment of wonder, Elda also appeared full of smiles: "City Lord, sailing smoothly?"
Da Fei laughed heartily: "It’s due to the smooth sailing that I can return for a look! The progress of Nightmare Space is very impressive, isn’t it?"
Elda’s smile tightened: "Indeed, quite impressive, to be precise, it’s faster than imaginable. But compared to the previous power of fear, I indeed perceive the space filled with a strong force of greed, which might not necessarily be good in the long run, potentially attracting magical creatures other than Lilim. We must prepare to defend."
Da Fei was surprised: "Greed force? What’s that about?"
Elda laughed in surprise: "You’re asking me? Isn’t it your doing? However, greed is the source of all progress; perhaps that’s the reason for the rapid development here. By the way, now the Dream Force is much more abundant than before; given the few teleportations using Nightmare Crystal, does the city lord need some replenishment?"
Indeed, what a reminder from Little Honey! It’s only half-past three in the afternoon; there’s plenty of time to get everything done, and maybe borrow a few intellect-enhancing books from the Duke. As a Duke, he can’t be short on high-standard books, right?
Da Fei handed the Nightmare Crystal over to Elda: "Alright, help me manage the supplement, and I’ll go see the Duke to update him on the progress here, and ask about the reason for the greed force."
Elda took the crystal with a hearty laugh: "No problem. But rest assured, City Lord, the current level of greed force is not enough to draw the attention of strong magical creatures; instead, it benefits the space’s development."
Da Fei nodded: "Another more important matter is about Remy! Is he still asleep?"
Elda sighed: "Yes, recovering very slowly, relying on him as the space’s guardian in the short term seems unlikely."
Just as expected. Da Fei then showed the Crab Meat to Elda, explained the origin, and concluded: "Anyway, let him taste it first. When I return from the Duke’s place, I’ll take him to the small paradise of the Nether Sea for recuperation!"
Elda nodded: "Alright, I will wake him and inform him. City Lord, please go and return soon."
So, Da Fei once again donned the Demon God’s wig, robes as a priest, a flash of Demon Light, and transformed into the NPC Nicholas Steel Hand, leisurely flying out of Nightmare Space and arriving at the Divine Punishment City.
Upon emerging, Da Fei immediately saw several players standing in front of the plaza Mercenary Store, surprisingly including Little Li, Little Fang, the pretty guild leader, as well as — his Junxiang and that vice hero named Ouling!
Oh my gosh! No wonder it’s my sister; she actually got my sub-account in here! Kudos! But seeing them standing still, they seem to be idle? Preparing for the night’s activities without heading down the hill for monster hunting? Ultimately, as an NPC, it’s best to act unaware, hoping they don’t notice me either; one less thing to worry about.
So, "Steel Hand" calmly and steadily left the teleportation array, then directly teleported all the way to the Duke’s Manor’s private teleportation array. Needless to say, this time was far smoother than the previous cumbersome walking journey.
As soon as Da Fei appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the guards, who shouted in surprise: "Master is back! Steward, Master Steel Hand is back! Come out to greet him!"
At this moment, uproar ensued at the manor entrance: "It’s that NPC, he has appeared!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped; he nearly turned around to look! Oh my gosh, if I look, wouldn’t it expose my poor acting skills? Surely it’s players who’ve come admiring, trying their luck in questing; no need to look! Wahaha, excellent, you all strive to do quests.
Meanwhile, Da Fei was unaware that the Bloodrose Studio was similarly abuzz. Although the guild leader was idle, her view was professionally monitoring the entire city with very few blind spots, capturing the entire special Space Gate exit sequence of the NPC.
