Having arrived at the Lord's Mansion, the Lord finally felt relieved upon hearing that everything had been resolved perfectly. He thanked Wu Shaochen, saying, "Chenfeng, I am truly grateful to you. This is the reward you deserve."
"Ding! Mission accomplished. Reward: +10,000 reputation, title 'Demon Sealer,' and a property in Jinling City."
"Property??" Wu Shaochen widened his eyes. It was a property worth tens of thousands of gold coins! Were they really giving it away so easily?
Before this, Wu Shaochen had seen that players could purchase houses in the city, but the prices were exorbitant, starting from tens of thousands of gold coins. With the current amount of gold coins players had, it was impossible to afford one. Unexpectedly, this mission was directly giving him a house worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
"Lord, where is the house located?" Wu Shaochen hurriedly asked.
The Lord took out a map and pointed to a particular area, saying, "You can choose any house in this area."
Wu Shaochen's eyes lit up as he looked at the map for a while. He then chose a house in a relatively secluded location. He didn't like being too ostentatious, and that house had a good position and was spacious. He couldn't believe that he hadn't yet bought a house in real life, but now he owned one in the game. And considering the current exchange rate, the in-game house was not cheaper than a real one.
The Lord quickly completed the procedures and handed Wu Shaochen a piece of parchment paper with the Lord's seal on it, saying, "Keep this safe. That house will be yours from now on."
"Alright, thank you, Lord." Wu Shaochen happily took the parchment paper and left the Lord's Mansion.
While walking on the road, Wu Shaochen sent a location message to Wu Ziyin, asking her to come and find him. Then he looked at another reward.
Title: 'Demon Sealer' - For outstanding contributions in sealing demons. Wearing this title increases damage reduction by 30% and reduces control time by 30%.
"What a great item!" Wu Shaochen's eyes brightened once again. This mission reward was truly impressive. The attributes of this title were amazing. He quickly equipped it.
Equipment with special attributes such as damage reduction, defense penetration, and reduced control time could only reach a maximum of 20%. With this title, it could stack up to 50%. That was really exciting.
Soon, Wu Ziyin came running over, and the two of them arrived at the house together.
"Brother, why are we here?" Wu Ziyin asked.
"Hehe, this will soon be our home," Wu Shaochen said happily.
Just as they stood at the entrance for a moment, the door opened, and a butler-like NPC saw Wu Shaochen and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"There's even a butler?" Wu Shaochen's eyes lit up. That was great. He showed the parchment paper to the butler, who immediately respectfully welcomed them inside.
Wu Shaochen and the bewildered Wu Ziyin wandered around...
"Brother, is this really going to be our house in the game from now on?" Wu Ziyin still couldn't believe it.
"Yes, from now on, we can rest here whenever we don't feel like going out to fight monsters. I've informed the butler, so you can come anytime," Wu Shaochen said. After taking a look around, he was quite satisfied. There was a main hall, rooms, a study, and even a small courtyard with a fish pond. The environment was excellent.
"That's fantastic!" Wu Ziyin excitedly explored every corner.
Meanwhile, Wu Shaochen sat on the master chair in the main hall and dozed off. The chair was really comfortable.
Not knowing how long he had been asleep, Wu Shaochen was awakened by Wu Ziyin's voice.
"Brother, it's already past one o'clock. I need to go offline and have lunch," Wu Ziyin said.
"Oh, it's already past one?" Wu Shaochen was a bit confused. But he had woken up at ten today, and it took him about two hours to travel, including fighting the monsters. It really was already past one.
"Yeah, let's go offline and have lunch. I'll come back later," Wu Shaochen said.
After some thought, Wu Shaochen decided to put the Tiger Head Great Sword up for auction. Although he was reluctant, he couldn't use it himself and could only list it in the auction house. With the attributes of this weapon, he believed it would bring him a good profit.
After listing the Tiger Head Great Sword in the auction house, Wu Shaochen chose to log out.
Because of the appearance of the Tiger Head Great Sword, the entire Jinling City was in a complete frenzy.
"Damn, it's a golden weapon."
"Damn, this attack power is insane."
"Damn, these attributes finally show me what real damage is."
"Boss, this weapon must have been listed by Chenfeng." Aoshi Jueqing said.
"No matter who listed it, I must win this weapon. With this weapon, I'm not afraid of Chenfeng anymore." Aoshi Tianxia's eyes were fixed on the weapon, and his intelligence dropped rapidly.
On the other side, Luanshi Xiaoxiong was also eagerly watching the weapon. "Even if it comes at a cost, I must obtain this weapon."
In an area filled with level 25 monsters, a young man looked at the weapon in the auction house, a smile appearing on his lips. "Finally, an equipment worth my intervention."
The auction price of the Tiger Head Great Sword soared, attracting countless bidders. Although many knew they had no chance of winning, it didn't stop them from bidding. Just in case it ended up in their hands. Once the price exceeded 300,000, the number of bidders rapidly decreased. This price was enough to make many people back down.
After finishing his meal, Wu Shaochen went back online. He appeared in the main hall of his house and checked the auction house. The bidding for the Tiger Head Great Sword had already reached over 400,000. With only one minute left until the auction ended, the sword was ultimately sold for a high price of 580,000.
"There are so many wealthy people," Wu Shaochen sighed.
At this moment, in the area filled with level 25 monsters, the young man looked at the Tiger Head Great Sword in his hand, excitement showing on his face. This weapon was perfect for him.
"Congratulations, Ling Shao. With this weapon, I guess Chenfeng won't be your match anymore," a young man beside him flattered.
"It's still uncertain for now. I'll have to defeat him to know." Ling Shao said. Although he said that, a confident expression appeared on his face. With his talent increasing damage by 50% and this weapon's skill raising it to 80%, his attack power would reach 3,500. A basic attack would deal five to six thousand damage. At this stage, who could withstand that?
Wu Shaochen waited in the living room for over ten minutes until Wu Ziyin finally came online. He said somewhat speechlessly, "Why did it take you so long to finish eating?"
Wu Ziyin stuck out her tongue and said, "The canteen is far from the dormitory, you know."
"You have hundreds of thousands from selling equipment. Why would you still eat at the canteen?"
"I'm not used to it yet," Wu Ziyin murmured softly.
Wu Shaochen shook his head and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the War God Temple." They hadn't done the War God Temple today yet. After killing the Golden Boss, the talent layer had been triggered. Now they could challenge the Golden-level War God's Mystery.
Currently, Wu Ziyin had three pieces of Silver equipment, and the rest were Bronze. It shouldn't be too difficult to complete a Black Iron-level War God's Mystery. When a priest entered the War God's Mystery, another shadow would automatically appear to confront the War God's Shadow. Its strength would be slightly weaker, and the priest needed to heal it. As long as the healing output was sufficient to keep the shadow alive, they could pass the challenge.
The two of them arrived at the War God Temple and bypassed the crowd, heading directly to the deepest area to choose the challenge.
Wu Shaochen is able to defeat a level 30 gold boss, so it's natural for him to easily handle a god of war shadow with the same level as him. In less than ten minutes, he finishes off the gold-level god of war shadow. As he waits for the teleportation out, he suddenly receives a system prompt.
"Ding, your strength has been recognized by the God of War Shadow Poisonous Sting Seggling Spirit. The Seggling Spirit will teach you the famous skill, Shadow Seven Consecutive Kills. Do you accept?"
"Holy crap, finally a god of war has taken notice of me. I knew it, with my strength, someone would eventually notice," Wu Shaochen exclaims excitedly, quickly clicking accept.
Then, Wu Shaochen feels himself appearing in a forest. In front of him, there is a middle-aged man fighting a huge tiger. The man instantly rushes to the tiger and his figure turns into shadows, moving around the tiger. Terrifying damage emerges from the tiger's body. After a second, the figure stops and the tiger falls to the ground. The middle-aged man suddenly turns around and looks at Wu Shaochen. Even though they are a few meters apart, it feels like they are separated by an insurmountable gap in time. The middle-aged man opens his mouth and says something, but Wu Shaochen can't hear it. Then, the middle-aged man turns into fragments and disappears. However, Wu Shaochen hears a powerful voice in his mind saying, "The Holy Light Continent relies on you for protection." Immediately after, a message enters Wu Shaochen's mind, and the scene changes again. Wu Shaochen reappears in the God of War's secret realm.
"Ding, congratulations on comprehending the skill, Shadow Seven Consecutive Kills."
