Chapter 325 - 303: Epic Quest: Reforging Titan’s Grasp
——System Prompt: Your friend Skyshattering Thunder has blocked you, your message failed to send.
Damn! Da Fei was beyond furious! This wasn’t just your typical scam; this was a Divine Artifact trade scam! No wonder nobody had sold off a Divine Artifact since the open beta, and now, just a month into launch, someone was selling one. It was a trap!
Da Fei thought only solo players like himself would stoop to scams without limits. He never imagined that even someone like Skyshattering Thunder, with his big mustache and eyes, a well-known person with a reputation and business, would also be scamming! And to scam him, he even had the nerve to post on the forums asking people to appraise the artifact. He wasn’t just scamming me; he was scamming all players in the China Region! I’ve got to flame him!
——City Channel [Da Fei]: Skyshattering Thunder! You scumbag! Faker selling fake Divine Artifact!
The whole of Elorin City was in an uproar! Da Fei got scammed? A Divine Artifact trade scam? Although the details were a bit unclear, gamers in Elorin City who had already had enough of Da Fei were spreading the news joyously. In such an information-advanced online world, the news spread through the China Region instantly. Fifty-six ethnic groups, fifty-six flowers, fifty-six dialects came together to form one sentence: Da Fei is screwed. Da Fei brought trouble upon himself. Da Fei deserved it!
In no time, Da Fei’s small number of friend messages flooded in brightly!
Invincible Soldier: "Brother Fei, Skyshattering Thunder is actually the same guy you killed before, Skyshattering Cannon!"
One Sword Eastward: "Big Bro, just say the word, and we’ll go chop him down for you!"
Ma Yinglong: "Skyshattering Thunder turned out to be a scammer?"
Harem Beauty: "Brother Fei, is the loss severe? If you’re short of Gold Coins, I’ve got 20,000 here."
And the goddess Star Bu Feiyan, who hadn’t been seen in a while, offering help in a time of need: "How exactly did he scam you?"
Facing a barrage of inquiries, Da Fei realized he acted impulsively. How many people would have an extra two bowls of rice out of joy today because of this! How many goddesses might shed tears for me! That’s something I’d never do, hurting my loved ones and pleasing my enemies! Damn!
More importantly, that roar in the public channel let everyone know this weapon was worthless, so even if I wanted to sell it sneakily, no buyer would dare to take it now!
....
Meanwhile, Skyshattering Thunder’s friends had already started occupying the forums, ready to engage in a verbal war. Ultimately, Skyshattering Thunder intended to stand on the moral high ground to vent a bit of anger for Chinese players. Having already set the stage, Skyshattering Thunder was chatting with another player, Phoenix Feather.
Skyshattering Thunder chuckled, "Phoenix Brother, no need to be so polite. When I play games, I’ve got two hobbies, making money and making friends, but the more important one is making friends, especially friends I admire. You, facing off against Da Fei’s Chamber of Commerce on your own, I admire that. Your friendship is worth more than gold to me! Divine Artifacts and all that don’t matter at all!"
Phoenix Feather said gratefully, "Brother Giant Cannon, you are truly loyal. I’m usually a lone wolf who looks down on others, but I definitely want to be friends with you. Once I’m out of Red Name Village, I’ll come find you right away. If you need anything, just say the word. I’m not busy anyway! If Da Fei dares to mess with you, I’ll help you resist until the end!"
Skyshattering Thunder laughed, "With that assurance, I’m completely at ease, no longer afraid of that trash Da Fei. In short, we are upright and straightforward, so there’s no reason to bow to garbage!"
Phoenix Feather laughed, "Well said, Brother Giant Cannon. Others see him as a pile of dog crap, afraid to step on it, but I’ll step on it just to show them!"
Skyshattering Thunder was very satisfied! What’s the greatest wealth in the game? It’s not Divine Artifacts, or some crappy NPC Vice Presidents, or even beautiful Vice Heroes, but friends—friends and brothers who are loyal and capable! Trash like Da Fei, a lone wolf, will never understand that. Sure, he’s the first President, with three big ships, boasting of slaying demigods, but I’ll prove to all of China Region that even if I eventually lose to him, I’ll gain a lot of positive reviews and fame through an honorable defeat! In today’s online world, fame means profit! As long as you can get involved with Da Fei, it’s a guaranteed way to get famous. That’s right, cling to celebrities and don’t let go; that’s the fastest way to get famous these days.
As for whether Da Fei might benefit from that gun’s quest, Skyshattering Thunder wasn’t worried at all. That gun belonged to a racial career quest, and only a dwarf Forging Master could further it. Even if he managed to finish it cross-race and cross-career, who knows how long it would take? On another level, the gun was bait to lure Da Fei down the wrong path. If Da Fei put a lot of time and effort into the gun, he would definitely find the cost outweighed the benefit, widening the gap between them even more, making Skyshattering Thunder care even less about Da Fei.
All in all, Skyshattering Thunder had resolved to be at loggerheads with Da Fei to the very end!
....
Now, after some consoling from a small number of friends, Da Fei was somewhat calmed down. Honestly speaking, the gun couldn’t really be considered a scam. It was simply that the gun, being a quest item, was tied into such a big quest that ordinary players couldn’t possibly complete it.
But was Da Fei an ordinary player? Clearly not! Just because Skyshattering Thunder couldn’t complete the quest didn’t mean Da Fei couldn’t! So, he thought, you little punk think you’ve pulled a fast one and scored a big win over me? You’re so naive, so naive. I’ll complete the quest and show it to you, infuriating you, you idiot!
Da Fei selected to use the quest item!
——System Prompt: You have acquired the transferable Dwarf Epic Quest "Reforging the Remnant Divine Artifact Titan’s Grip"!
——System Prompt: You have obtained the temporary title "Titan’s Grip Restorer," and your reputation in the Dwarf Kingdom increased by 1000.
——Quest Information: 160 years ago, the Titan Lord admired the dwarves for their forging skills and commissioned the Dwarf King to create a Divine Artifact, Titan’s Grip, with a promise to forge an alliance with the Dwarf Kingdom upon completion. The Dwarf King gladly accepted and gathered all the nation’s God-level blacksmiths in Molten City, Grimbatol, but the dwarves’ ancient enemies, the Dark Elves, and Demons, sabotaged the forging action....
...160 years passed, and the Dwarf King could not stop thinking about restoring the dwarves’ glory. The Dwarf King wanted to reforge Titan’s Grip to prove himself, but the kingdom’s financial and technical resources couldn’t restore the artifact remnant. The Dwarf King began mobilizing civilian efforts, hoping for reclusive sages to restore Titan’s Grip. Countless individuals tried, countless have failed; perhaps only a Child of Destiny can work a miracle.
——Task Hint: This quest is a transferable quest, with its first phase completed. If players cannot complete it, they can trade the item to other players.
——Task Hint: You’ve taken on the Epic Quest "Reforging the Remnant Divine Artifact Titan’s Grip" Second Phase: "Pursuing the Power of Lightning." You can go to the Dwarf Kingdom’s capital, Moladin Forging Guild, to inquire about the subsequent forging plan.
....
Looking at the wall of text flashing across the screen, Da Fei widened his eyes and read every word intently for several minutes before finishing! What the hell, although I’ve done many epic quests, none of them had so much introduction and hints like this! And this kind of transferable quest, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it. What does this mean? It’s high-end, classy, top-notch! This isn’t your average epic quest; it even involves the Dwarf King! How difficult is this quest, really? It can’t possibly be entirely completed at the current player stage, right?
Oh, wait! The Dwarf King? Didn’t Makar say the Dwarf King was old and about to die, and his sons were preparing to fight for the throne? The Dwarf Nation is chaotic! No wonder Skyshattering Thunder wanted to transfer the quest; even when things were normal, all the God-level blacksmiths were annihilated. Now in chaos, it’s even less conceivable, right?
Come on! How could a mere commoner compare to me? I am a friend of General Bato on Fire Dragon Island, and General Bato is under the Second Prince. This means I’ve indirectly gotten in with the Prince, right? I’m going to see the Prince! He should be able to give some hints, right?
I know this quest is definitely very challenging and might not be completed for years, but my expectations aren’t high. As long as I can wield the weapon, it’s enough! Of course, the prerequisite is that the Prince is willing to meet me.
When Da Fei arrived at the Teleportation Array preparing to teleport to the Dwarf Kingdom, the guard at the Teleportation Array said, "President Sir, Mr. Spielberg left me a message. If you have the time, please visit this city’s Fishing Guild."
Oh? Spielberg? Damn, I almost forgot him. He did bring back several Narwhal horns; we agreed to split the profits! (To be continued.
