Regression Again Of The SSG

Ch17:sherlock's quest& the blackmarket

Subsequently, Shi Feng took out a ripe and red Tomato, taking a bite out of it.
The players started talking how wasteful and such i paid no heed when Halfway through his Tomato, Shi Feng suddenly threw it towards Town Mayor Cross' face.

The Tomato accurately landed on Cross' face, spreading bright red liquid all over.

System: Cross' favorability towards you has been decreased by 100 points.

Unsatisfied, Shi Feng took out another Tomato from his bag, throwing it at Cross.

"Hypocrite! Fatty! Bloodsucker! You're not fit to be the Town Mayor!"

Shi Feng kept cursing as he threw Tomatoes, whereas Cross' favorability kept decreasing. Cross' body turned bright red as tomato juice kept flowing down his body. Adding to his enraged expression, it created an incomparably funny sight.
The players immediately shut up and remained silent watching this scene in awe wondering what's happening.
As Shi Feng's last Tomato landed on Cross' face, Cross' favorability fell towards Hostile. Cross' Level became question marks and the yellow marker above him quickly turned a crimson red.

"Damnable insect! I'll send you down to hell!"

The bright red Cross roared loudly as he rushed at Shi Feng.
Town Mayor Cross' furious roar reverberated throughout the entire Town Hall.

With a high speed, Cross instantly arrived in front of Shi Feng, his fist stretching out towards Shi Feng.

When Cross was about to hit Shi Feng, the stationary Shi Feng finally moved. Like a hunter waiting for his prey, Shi Feng immediately unsheathed his Novice Sword. With swift motions, he avoided being with minimum movement and used the sword to attack once.
-4 appeared I almost coughed up blood because it would along time to take him down and the won't wait
"Die, insect!"

After failing his strike and even got struck , Cross was further enraged. Suddenly, his clothes were ripped apart, revealing a body covered in pitch black fur; Cross had turned into a Werewolf with sharp fangs.

Every player was shocked at this moment. Never would they have thought the mayor was an evil Werewolf.

Cross arrived at Shi Feng's back in an instant, raising his bright snowy claws and slashing them at Shi Feng's heart.
Shi feng avoided being hit again and counter attacked
Cross' claws suddenly stopped,they were only a few centimeters away from dealing with Shi Feng. Unfortunately, Cross was hit by a Level 25 Guard's [Charge], entering a Fainted state for 1 second.
I didn't waste time and kept attacking but-4 amidst the guards attack was laughable.
Just when Cross was about to rush Shi Feng after awakening, he was interrupted once more by another Guard.

Both of the Guards were Level 25 Warriors. Although neither of them was Elites, the damage they dished out was relatively high. A Charge, coupled with a normal attack, had quickly taken 300 HP away from Cross. Two Guards had taken away a total of 600 HP, causing Cross' HP to fall to 1700 in an instant.
As such, Cross was now being attacked by the two Guards. Although the damage dealt by the Guards was very high, Cross' target had never shifted away from Shi Feng. He continuously aimed to kill Shi Feng but, unfortunately for him, I avoided it every time until One of the Guards used [Bone Crusher], while the other used [Thundering Strike], causing Cross' Movement Speed to plummet while i kept attacking Just like that, Cross' over 2000 HP was nearly depleted.

When the other players saw Cross dying, many of them started becoming restless; they wanted to land the last strike on the mayor. They did not understand why the Guards were attacking Cross instead of Shi Feng but a Town Mayor who was also a Level 15 Elite...... if he died, he would definitely drop some great items.Unfortunately, Cross still died under the Guard's blade in the end. Not a single one of the players was able to strike at Cross. Although Shi Feng kept attacking, the last hit wasn't him. After the mayor's death, he immediately took away the [Mayor's Insignia] and disappeared into the crowd.
Shi Feng arrived at the dark alley once more and to Sherlock to hand in the insignia.

"Mister Sherlock, this is the Mayor's Insignia that you requested." Shi Feng passed silver colored Mayor's Insignia to the beggar, Sherlock.

With the Quest's completion, bad news came to both the players who had already received a Quest and for those who were currently trying to receive one from the mayor. This was because Cross would not respawn. They would have no place to submit their Quest even if it was completed. Red Leaf Town would also no longer have a mayor, though Shi Feng could care less about that.

"Thank you. Thank you, so much. I have finally attained revenge for my friend. These things should be of help to you."

Sherlock passed Shi Feng a delicate little box. Subsequently, Sherlock took the Mayor's Insignia and left the dark alley.

System: Unique Quest "Sherlock's Request" completed. Rewarding 2000 EXP, 20 Free Mastery Points, 1 [Luxurious Ornament Box].
With a "Hua" sound, Shi Feng became Level 1, and he was only 1000 EXP away from Level 2.
He opened the box and As the Luxurious Ornament Box slowly opened, a dazzling array of multicolored light burst out from within.
"it is still the Ring of Gravity." Shi Feng said as took the ring out of the box and inspected it.

[Ring of Gravity] (Mysterious-Iron Rank)

Equipment Level: 0

Strength +2, Agility +1, Endurance +1

Additional Skill: 'Gravity Liberation'. Greatly reduces the gravity acting upon the user. Duration 30 seconds. Cooldown 5 minutes.
As for the necklace, it was just a Gray Item. NPC merchants coveted these items and they were willing to buy them at high prices.
After wearing the Ring of Gravity, Shi Feng added the 4 Free Ability Points that came from leveling up all into Agility.

Shi Feng's Agility rose to 12 points, his Attack Speed to 5 points, and his Movement Speed to 6 points. He could almost rival a pure Agility Assassin of the same Level now.
Afterward, Shi Feng added 15 of the Free Mastery Points towards his One-Handed Sword Mastery, keeping the remaining 5 points for future use. With his One-Handed Sword Mastery now at a total of 20 points, Shi Feng advanced from Apprentice to Basic Swordsman and the additional damage dealt by using a one-handed sword increased to 10%. He was still 30 Mastery Points away from advancing to an Intermediate Swordsman.
the Black Market Challenge was the next destination for Shi Feng to quickly obtain a skill book in Red Leaf town.
At Trade Area of Red Leaf Town Shi Feng quickly headed towards a two-storied building without halting.High-ranking Gnomes guarded the building, and above the building read 'Black Market'.
After entering i heard some say:
"Despicable. Just a little bit more. Do you guys still have money? I'll definitely clear it the next time." The male Assassin said after reviving from the field.

A male Cleric shook his head saying, "Boss Stabbing Heart, the five of us have already given you all our money. We don't have anymore."

By the side, Shi Feng shifted his sight towards the Assassin 'Stabbing Heart'.the same as the last time.
He saw me and walked to me saying
"Nice to meet you, friend. I'm Stabbing Heart, Assassin Squad Leader of the [Assassin's Alliance]. Lend 5 Coppers to me and I'll return 20 Coppers to you tomorrow. How about it?"
I replied "can you let me try first?,if I don't succeed I will lent you"
I wanted to show him that he wouldn't succeed right now.
