Few days before the official release of God's Domain. Shi Feng woke up with a light headache as he could barely differentiate from left to right after which he started to look around.
Nurse: You are finally up again. You slept a whole another day you know. I would never understand gamers like you. You people should take care of your body too instead of playing games all day.
Shi Feng gave her an apologetic look as she left the room. He then look around for his smart watch to give Blackie a call but what he found made him frown. There was an old smart phone with cracked glass that he hasn't seen for almost a decade now.
He thought Blackie was trying to funny so he picked the phone to give him a piece of his mind for to play a joke at such a time, but before he could make a call he found something amiss, the date on the phone was 29th of April 2129. Last he remembered the date he saw was 5th of August 2139 before logging onto God's Domain. So he went online to check what's going on, but after what he found made him frown deeper.

After receiving his quest from Sherlock, Shi Feng made his way towards the town square where the mayor of the town resided at the townhall. On his way he called up his attribute panel.

He added all the free attribute points to agility moving his attack speed to 4 and movement speed to 5. When he reached the townspquare there were scores of people trying to get a quest. But most of the them stood in line in front of the townhall waiting for their turn to meet the town's mayor as many people had already got a quest from him.
For him to complete his quest, Shi Feng needed money, everybody got 10 coppers at the start of the game. It was not enough to buy weapons or equipments but you could buy food and water with which helps to recover health and mana respectively. So he approached a Warrior who looked honest and tapped on his shoulder.
Lonely Snow [Level 0, Berserker] : How can I help you my friend? You here for the quest? Quite a few people have received one already. You should wait here in the line or else others might get angry.
Shi Feng : I am not here for a quest. Seeing that you are nice person, I would advise you to not waste your time here cause those who had already got their's won't be able to submit it anyway.
Listening to which Lonely frowned but after thinking about it for a while he relaxed and in a very sincere way asked.
Lonely Snow: Friend, are you an expert or one of the beta testers? If so, can you tell me what should I do then?
Shi Feng : You can say so. I can tell about a good place to grind monsters who drop good money, but I am in an urgent need for some money right now, if you give me 20 copper, I will tell where you should go. You can also just give me just 10 coppers for now and rest when you verify the place for yourself.
Lonely Snow : Isn't it just 10 coppers, here I will trade it to you. Brother do you also know any way to get skill books, it's really hard for a Berserker to grind monsters with a single skill.
Shi Feng : The grinding location is far outside the town around the rocky plains, it's a little far but there are very few monsters there and they also have a low respawn rate, so not many people go there to grind but a single Berserker like you can easily grind there for hours. The monsters there are mostly mage type Green Gnomes and they are also known to drop good money. As for the skill book, I do have some info on it too but I can only tell you about it for 2 silvers.
After listening about the grinding location in such detail with even to the point of what would the monsters might drop, the Berserker was really happy as only a true beta tester might know such things in such details but was also dejected after listening to Shi Feng's price for the info on skill book but after giving some thought, he found it reasonable.
Lonely Snow: Why don't we add each other as friends Brother Expert, so that when I have the rest of the 10 coppers, I can mail it to you. If and when I have 2 silvers I will contact you for the info on the skill book too.
Shi Feng : Sure.
They both added each other as friends soon after. Now Lonely can look as Shi Feng's ID and saw that it was Ye Feng.
Lovely Snow : Brother Feng, I will be taking my leave now, will see you soon then.
Saying so the Berserker left, as for Shi Feng he went to a stall that sold fruits and vegetables and bought 10 tomatoes for 2 coppers each. He then started to walk towards mayor and stood right some distance from him.
Player [Level 0, Guardian knight]: Are you blind, don't see the line, go back at end before anyone kills you.
Player [Level 0, Assassin]: Yeah, right. Go back or you will regret it.
Shi Feng: I am not here for a quest, so I don't need to stand in line. Don't worry.
Saying so Shi Feng took out one of the tomatoes and took a big bite out of it and threw the rest at the face of Mayor Cross Hearsey.
