Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start-Chapter 10 - 10. [Tear of Savi Goddess]_1
10 10. [Tear of Savi Goddess]_1
Translator: 549690339
In front of the warehouse, a large group of players has gathered in the small square, setting up stalls and shouting out their wares.
“Look and see! Level 2 material [Goblin leather], only 1 spiritual energy coin each, tailors should not miss this opportunity!”
“Level 3 material [Wild Boar Meat], limited amount, hurry up if you want to buy.”
“Level 1 standard leather shoulder pads….”
Even though the warehouse could be used to sell items, putting items for sale in the warehouse costs at least 1 spiritual energy coin as a service fee. Many players are reluctant to spend this, and instead resort to street vending to dispose of items they no longer require.
Walking slowly down the streets, Su Yu is searching for any good bargains.
But the game hasn’t been up for very long, and the players haven’t had a chance to acquire any valuable items yet.
After going around without finding anything he wanted, Su Yu turned to enter the warehouse.
Inside the warehouse, Su Yu placed all the equipment, materials, and skill scrolls dropped by the bosses that he didn’t need onto the shelf for sale.
Skill scrolls [Mortal Strike (Superior)], [Rock Cut Sword (Superior) lv4], [Black Iron Boots (Superior) lv3], [Wild Boar Leader’s Tusk (Superior)] x2, [Hillside Sheep Leader’s Horn (Superior)]…
These valuable items were all listed by Su Yu in auction mode for sale, with a minimum bid of 1 spiritual energy coin. There is no upper limit for the auction price and it will last for 24 hours.
Then, Su Yu shelved his concerns about his items and left the warehouse to search for the hidden quest that awards a blue item.
…
At the entrance of Wolf King Valley, west of Nolan Village.
That’s where Su Yu met the woodcutter from his memories, the one involved in a hidden quest.
The woodcutter was a middle-aged uncle with fiery red facial hair.
Currently, he was struggling to transport two large bundles of firewood back to the village.
Upon seeing the woodcutter, Su Yu approached him:
“Uncle, I heard you listened to the song of Goddess Savi two days ago?”
There were a total of 20 stages in the hidden quest for the blue item.
The tenth and the ultimate stages were the most difficult ones.
The last stage involves dealing with a tricky boss, whereas the tenth one is a decryption quest.
Through the decryption quest, the player would learn that this woodcutter, Sam, heard the song of Goddess Savi two days ago.
By talking to the woodcutter with this clue, you would be able to activate the next stage, i.e., the eleventh quest stage.
However, as a veteran player of “Evolution”, Su Yu knew that it was not necessarily to start the hidden quest from the first stage.
If a player has the necessary quest item or knows the voice command to activate a certain stage, then that player can skip the insignificant early stages and proceed directly to the later stages of the quest.
As Su Yu expected, the woodcutter responded to his words.
Upon hearing from Su Yu, the woodcutter put down his bundles of wood with relief, and laughed:
“Adventurer, I guess it must have been that little girl Annie who told you, right?”
“Of course.” Su Yu responded nonchalantly.
“Great! But I am in a hurry to cook. If you help me carry these two bundles of wood back home, I will tell you the story about the song of Goddess Savi.” the woodcutter grinned.
“Ding! Hidden quest [Savi Goddess’s Tear (11/20)] activated, do you accept?”
“I accept!”
Immediately accepting the quest, Su Yu enthusiastically took over the two bundles of wood.
“Uncle, let me walk you home now! As for any bandits who may try to rob you of your wood along the way, I’ll handle them too.”
Saying this, Su Yu carried the wood, and briskly started heading towards the village.
The eleventh stage of [Savi Goddess’s Tear] is an escort mission.
During the process of delivering the wood, players will be attacked twice by a total of six bandits, attempting to snatch away the bundles of wood the player is carrying.
The player who had previously completed this quest made a post on the discussion forum, criticizing the game developers quite straightforwardly.
What kind of bandit would rob firewood? Whoever designed this quest must be out their mind!
Although the player’s criticisms were reasonable and widely agreed upon by the gaming community, a dramatic scene unfolded:
The day after this player made his criticisms, he was permanently banned from the game without any explanation from the game officials.
This incident sparked a heated discussion among the players and was even chosen as one of the “Evolution’s Most Bizarre Events of the Year”.
That was why Su Yu had a deep impression of this hidden quest.
Upon hearing Su Yu’s confident declaration, the woodcutter looked at him in confusion, “Adventurer, why would bandits want to snatch our firewood? It’s not worth much.”
Su Yu paused, “Who am I supposed to ask about this? Let’s hurry up! If we don’t hurry, Jenny, the widow of old William, would end up going elsewhere!”
“Okay, adventurer!” At the mention of Jenny’s name, the woodcutter immediately hastened his pace to keep up with Su Yu.
…
As Su Yu was taking on the secret quest, what he didn’t know was that the equipment, skill scrolls, and materials that he had put up for auction on the “Chinese server” had caused a sensation!
The No.002 newbie village—Wind Spring Village.
Unlike other newbie villages, a large guild named “Emperor Blood Slays the Sky” has reserved the level 2 monster zone at Wind Spring Village.
However, it was not definitively monopolized. The “Emperor Blood Slays the Sky” guild had claimed half of the leveling zone, leaving the other half accessible to common players.
The ordinary players, gathered in one half, were killing Goblins while casting dissatisfied looks at the members of “Emperor Blood Slays the Sky”.
However, they did not combine forces to attack the opposing guild.
A group of passionate players did rally to challenge “Emperor Blood Slays the Sky” earlier, but they had all been sent to “reflect offline” by the guild.
The remaining players were just a scattered crowd.
Even though they knew they could outmatch “Emperor Blood Slays the Sky” if they united, they chose to silently bear the oppression and focus on gaining experience.
In the center of the reserved leveling zone, the Guild Master of “Emperor Blood Slays the Sky”, with a superior quality level 2 long sword in hand, was leveling up amidst a group of beautiful women.
The surrounding members of the guild were busy beating the Goblins to low health, then leading them to their Guild Master to land the finishing blows.
Then a flash of golden light swept past, showing that the Guild Master had successfully leveled up to level 3.
The surrounding members of the guild immediately gathered around, congratulating him loudly:
“Congratulations on your level up, boss!”
“Our boss is definitely the first level 3 player in the game!”
“Our boss will also be the first player to reach level 10 and enter the main cities!”
“Our boss will surely become the strongest player in the game!”
“Our guild ‘Emperor Blood Slays the Sky’ will also become the most powerful guild in the game!”
The underlings kept heaping praises, as if they were trying to declare their boss the greatest player in the history of gaming.
Amused by his underlings’ compliments, the boss of the guild couldn’t help but smile.
He flipped his hand, and a level 3 ordinary quality long sword appeared in his hand.
His equipment was also changing constantly.
In just a short while, he had changed into several different pieces of level 3 ordinary equipment.
The praises from his subordinates had become even more enthusiastic.
However, at this moment, a youth with the Assassin profession and eyes as sharp as an eagle’s appeared in the level 2 training area:
“Emperor Blood, there’s been a major incident!”
