Chapter 328 - 306: Temporary Ultimate Sea Monster Hunter Title
It really upgraded the celebrity title! All those sea monsters I killed weren’t in vain! Da Fei laughed excitedly.
"But—" Savaran’s tone changed again, "Mr. Da Fei must be aware of one thing. For the public, hearing is illusory, seeing is believing. It’s still hard for a celebrity who gained fame this way to earn public recognition and will be questioned by the masses! Once Mr. Da Fei obtains a high-level celebrity title, commissions for killing sea monsters will appear. At that time, Mr. Da Fei must prove himself, accept commissions unconditionally, and complete them successfully. If the missions fail, your celebrity title will be downgraded! That means your commissions cannot be refused nor can they fail!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, "No way? I’m a busy person! If a commission comes, I have to scour the vast sea looking for sea monsters? I can’t refuse the commission?"
Savaran said sternly, "Correct! Your current situation is akin to getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later. You have prematurely enjoyed the benefits of the celebrity title, so you must work hard to complete the commissions. Otherwise, you’ll be deceiving the world, and only after you fully compensate for the prestige required for a high-level celebrity will you be free to decline commissions without worrying about a title downgrade."
What the heck! The system’s advantages really aren’t easily gained! But this isn’t the first time I’ve benefited from getting on the bus first—my shipful of supplies bound for the Pool of Radiance all received rewards before completing tasks!
Da Fei quickly asked, "Then Mr. Savaran, what level of celebrity can these information cards upgrade me to?"
Savaran replied sternly, "Fifth-level celebrity! I ensure a fifth-level celebrity status, the highest level qualification a Professional Guild can provide. Beyond that is legendary, god-level celebrity status, which can’t be recognized by just any guild. It requires worldwide public approval, and that’s up to Mr. Da Fei."
Going straight to the top! Da Fei couldn’t help but ask excitedly, "Can a fifth-level celebrity gain the King’s attention?"
Savaran shook his head and sighed, "Of course, if it’s in a field that interests the King. However, it’s best not to alarm the King with Mr. Da Fei’s unique way of becoming a celebrity. Otherwise, if the King pursues it, I, being a mere guarantor, will bear immense pressure. The King might also give you an extremely difficult commission, which would be unfavorable for Mr. Da Fei to compensate for prestige and return to a normal celebrity status."
That’s exactly what I want, to alarm the royal family! Da Fei’s brow twitched as he continued to ask, "Mr. Savaran, what benefits will you gain for taking such a big risk to guarantee me?"
Savaran laughed heartily, "A gamble! I’ve heard the Mayor has placed a bet on Mr. Da Fei, and Mr. Da Fei successfully completing the Abyss Blood Pool task for the Pool of Radiance added to the Mayor’s achievements. I trust the Mayor’s judgment in employing talent, and I believe in the cards I’ve seen, so I’m also placing a bet on Mr. Da Fei. As long as Mr. Da Fei successfully compensates for prestige and transitions to a normal status at the fifth-level celebrity, our Elorin Fishing Guild will leap to become a renowned institution on the Mainland. It will also favorably position the city’s seafood star city election, benefiting me undeniably!"
Da Fei chuckled in surprise, indeed that’s the case. In fact, even I don’t know the extent of my abilities; how much can others see?
Da Fei asked with a smile, "Why are you so certain the Mayor’s judgment in employing people is accurate?"
Savaran replied seriously, "Because I was appointed by the Mayor! Isn’t this proof of the Mayor’s great eye for talent?"
—Ahem! Damn it! Okay, no wonder you and the Mayor both employ the get-on-the-bus-first tactics, truly talented in employing people. I admire it, wahahaha!
Da Fei had no more to say and resolutely declared, "Mr. Savaran, please award me the fifth-level celebrity title!"
Savaran nodded, "I’ll accept the cards; no money needed. Anyway, personally, I still think Mr. Da Fei’s current strength is unworthy of the fifth-level celebrity title, so Mr. Da Fei should strive to get stronger quickly!"
When he finished, golden light flashed repeatedly on Da Fei’s head!
—System Prompt: You sold the "Giant Golden Spearfish Card," "Demonized Anemone King Card" to the president of the Elorin Fishing Guild... "Giant Octopus Card," "Narwhal King Card," "Juvenile Leviathan Card," "Demigod Skira Clone Card," obtaining the temporary "Second-level Sea Monster Hunter Title," "Third-level Sea Monster Hunter Title," "Fourth-level Sea Monster Hunter Title," "Ultimate Sea Monster Hunter Title."
—Second-level Sea Monster Hunter Title: Hero and their units have +12% Stamina at sea, +12% Sea Life, +12% Command Power, hero’s ship speed +12%, +12% damage to ocean creatures, +1500 world reputation, +50 Command Power.
—Third-level Sea Monster Hunter Title: Hero and their units have +14% Stamina at sea, +14% Sea Life, +14% Command Power, hero’s ship speed +14%, +14% damage to ocean creatures, +2000 world reputation, +100 Command Power.
...
—Ultimate Sea Monster Hunter Title: Hero and their units have +20% Stamina at sea, +20% Sea Life, +20% Command Power, hero’s ship speed +20%, +20% damage to ocean creatures, +3000 world reputation, +200 Command Power.
—System Prompt: Attention! You’ve received the temporary "Ultimate Sea Monster Hunter Title" certified by the Elorin Fishing Guild. From now on, you are a celebrity that emerged suddenly in the Elf Kingdom, attracting attention and doubt. You will receive commissions from dignitaries and must complete with all your efforts, or you will drop 1 to 2 celebrity levels, significantly decreasing your reputation.
Looking at the flood of information, Da Fei was so excited he started to gasp!
This was the Ultimate Sea Monster Hunter Title! Command Power increased by 200, with an additional +20% to all attributes, practically an advanced officer’s military rank! High-ranking officers’ ranks are different; just adding 100, 300, and 500 command power is negligible.
A 20% boost is equivalent to advancing Leadership Skill by 2 levels, Sailing Skill by 1 level, and Attack Skill by 2 levels, but those are trivial. The key is life +20%! This is a strong attribute no skill can compensate for! It’s practically a Divine Artifact Effect! Compared to this achievement title, the achievements of killing demigods are nothing!
Of course, the only downside is, like the Captain’s Sword, it’s only effective at sea! However, if dominating a domain is enough, if it were effective everywhere, this title would belong to a Cosmic Hunter!
Savaran clapped and laughed, "Congratulations to Mr. Da Fei on becoming the kingdom’s first celebrity. Soon, our guild will receive commissions from dignitaries, and we will notify Mr. Da Fei at once. Please give it your all, Mr. Da Fei!"
Damn, you guys are the ones receiving commissions, so you can earn a lot of intermediary fees, huh? But I’m too busy to handle commissions right now, I want to use my celebrity status to meet the Prince, to scare him to his wit’s end!
Da Fei laughed, "Got it!"
Wait a minute! I’m already the ultimate celebrity, what are these Divine Artifacts anyway? Why should I make things complicated?
No, no! I can’t swallow this insult; I must obtain the Divine Artifact! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) and vote for recommendations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
