Samsara Online

Chapter 296 Mysterious Number Ten

Only a second had passed since the unknown voice was heard by him when Xie Feng had already moved in front of Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue as he looked in the direction from where the voice from before came from. His eyes visible through the mask covering his face were as cold as the ice under his feet and his guard was at the highest level. An existence capable of silently appearing behind him could not be weak in any way!

Although Xie Feng tried to keep composed, it was impossible to convince his own heart. He didn’t even know how long he had been watched by this stranger and only when he heard the stranger speak did he know about his existence; this was a great shock to him!

A few meters distance away, unnoticed by anyone before, there was a figure that was more than two meters tall. However, the most surprising thing was that this strange person did not appear to be human. The reason Xie Feng could judge it was because although the silhouette was standing on two feet and a very large robe covered both the face and body, the outline of the limbs and head were too strange to compare with the body of a normal person. The robe covering the body of this existence was undoubtedly black in the past. However, it had apparently been washed many times and had gone through many vicissitudes since the black color had turned semi-white and was baked with many patches. On the bottom, the only thing visible was a strange pair of dark-colored boots that were barely in good condition and so ugly that probably no sane person would be willing to wear them.

Xie Feng did not hesitate and inspected the strange person in front of him.

Xie Feng’s mind was shaken so hard that he felt as if a thousand-ton hammer had struck his head mercilessly. Except for this person’s strange name, he couldn’t get any other information about his target! Except for Lucifer in the Beginner’s Village No.666, this was something that had never happened to Xie Feng before!

Moreover, back then when he encountered Lucifer in the Shrine of the Fallen Angel, Xie Feng had not yet obtained his special skill Soul Eyes so it was understandable. However, Soul Eyes allowed him to see the information of any monster or NPC as long as they did not exceed his level by more than twenty; he could even see the information of a Saint-grade beast as long as it did not exceed his level by more than twenty!

However, he could see absolutely nothing about the person in front of him!

"Who are you?" Xie Feng frowned and asked in a deep voice.

The face of Xie Yao and the rest changed slightly when they noticed Xie Feng’s tension by the way his grip on the crimson spear tightened even more and how he leaned forward like a tiger warning his enemy to stay away. The five of them, knowing that the best help they could give him was to stay out of the way, began to slowly back away without letting their guard down.

"You don’t need to be on guard." That person said in a hoarse voice. "Besides, don’t waste your time trying to get information from me, you won’t even know my name."

Xie Feng frowned slightly when he heard the unknown person’s final words. Although this person said that he won’t be able to get anything, not even his name, Xie Feng was able to get the name. Apparently, things were stranger than he had initially estimated.

Number Ten, not knowing the thoughts of the young man in front of him, went straight to the point when he said, "I can smell a lot of money on your body, how about we make a trade?"

"Trade?" Xie Feng was once again surprised. In this place seemingly abandoned by all life where cold winds blew fiercely, there was actually a person who wanted to make a trade? The world had truly gone mad?

This was clearly an NPC and should be an incredibly powerful expert, otherwise, he would be impossible for him to approach without Xie Feng noticing.

"Do you want to sell me the ’Vacuum Palm’ or maybe the ’Flame Splitting Tsunami’? I’m sorry but I don’t have Dou Qi in my body. Maybe Xiao Yan is more interested, you should look for him." Noticing that the person had no malicious intent not only from his words but also from his actions, Xie Feng dared to joke a bit.

"Xiao Yan? Who is that?" If Xie Feng could see past the hood covering Number Ten’s face he could see a deep frown, clearly the strange merchant was extremely confused.

"Em?" Xie Feng looked at the unfamiliar person with wide eyes and said with some surprise, "You don’t know about ’Battle Through The Heavens’?"

Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and the rest almost fell to the ground when they heard what Xie Feng said. To think that he even dared to joke in such a situation! Unconsciously, everyone’s nerves relaxed slightly after hearing Xie Feng’s little joke.... Of course, none of them could imagine that from the very beginning Xie Feng’s intention was precisely to make the two girls relax a bit; after all, it wasn’t nice that two people he loved were feeling scared.

"I never heard of such a story in Adastreia Continent, young man. Anyway, let’s get straight to the point...I see you and your friends are having a hard time with the weather." Number Ten’s raspy voice was really uncomfortable to listen to, like two sandpaper constantly rubbing against each other. "Take a look at these."

Number Ten, not knowing that his name had been exposed, not knowing that the young man in front of him was playing a little joke on him, and not caring about his opinion, waved a hand and a panel appeared right in front of Xie Feng’s eyes.

[Product list number one: -

!

Xie Feng had to restrain the urge to shout out loud and almost choked on his own saliva when he saw the effect of each of the three objects he had just seen. He had only seen the first three objects on the list but his heart was in total shock; especially for the first two!

From the very beginning of this virtual reality game, Xie Feng painfully felt half of his experience being sucked into a black hole and disappearing into nothingness. Precisely because of this, he was not a fan of worrying about levels.... However, right in front of him, there was actually a strange mineral capable of increasing the experience he gained by 100%! This meant that even discounting the 50% that the Ring of the God of Destruction took away by default, he would still be gaining an extra 50% experience for a total of twelve full hours!

As for the Void Breaking Stone.... Xie Feng was speechless to comment on it....

With such an item, he could travel anywhere in the world as long as he had prior knowledge! All limitations could be ignored altogether and barriers would be just a joke to him!

As for the third item, although it was not as flashy as the other two, Xie Feng had already made up his mind to buy some of those coats. After all, its ability to block low temperatures and keep the wearer’s body warm was something extremely rare; even high-level tailors couldn’t necessarily create such a piece of clothing even if they had the materials in front of them. Moreover, Xie Feng and his group were facing a wide world of snow and ice where they could not even see the finish line from where they were.

He needed those coats no matter what!

The problem was the price of the items.... Xie Feng currently had just over 400 million gold coins with him that he had obtained after the currency exchange system opened. However, even with that amount he was limited by what he could do. 400 million gold coins was an astronomical amount, however, that amount of money only allowed Xie Feng to purchase a total of ten Divine Energy Stones and all of his money would be gone in the blink of an eye.

Previously, Xie Feng thought that 400 million was enough for him to support himself for a while. However, not even five days had passed since that gold had been in his inventory and he was already regretting not having exchanged more real world money for gold coins in the virtual world!
