Samsara Online

Chapter 332 Shen Xinyas concert: Love of God song (2)

"Thank you very much, Shiva." Said the King of Eminentis City in a deep voice, standing to send the guest on his way. "You really are the kind of person who values honor, and that is something very important to me."

Xie Feng smiled but said nothing. After saying goodbye to King Hu Yi, he silently left the palace. While walking through the streets, Xie Feng was thinking about several things at the same time.

Although the mission given to him by King Hu Yi gave him practically no reward, the reason Xie Feng accepted it was mainly so that he would not feel indebted and would not owe anyone any personal favor. Just now, the king of the city gave Xie Feng information without asking for anything in return and, although that information was useless along with the map according to the words of the king himself, Xie Feng did not see it the same way.

It doesn’t matter whether the information and the map of the subway caves were useless to King Hu Yi or not, the point was that both were two things that Xie Feng needed urgently and if it wasn’t for the king he wouldn’t necessarily have acquired the information he needed, let alone a map. Therefore, since King Hu Yi needed the Memory Grass, when Xie Feng reached the fifth floor of the Heaven of Samsara, he would take some time to search for the item.

After arriving at a remote alley, Xie Feng sat on the ground and watched the crowd of players passing by the corner for a moment. Men, women, kids, youngsters, adults, even some elderly people... They all seemed to be enjoying this new world free of polluted air, where the dreams of many could become a reality... A world where the human mind could go wild without as many limitations as the "real world".

In the past, Xie Feng was just like all these people who enjoyed and played for a good time; however, things were very different for him now. Although he also enjoyed his journey in this world as much as he appreciated the journey, his motives and goals were completely different from all these people. While they were having 100% carefree fun, Xie Feng had to try his best not to fall in the attempt to fulfill his biggest dream.

Before, Xie Feng’s goals were very simple; all he wanted was to live a peaceful life with his loved ones. Money? he already had it. Power? He had that too. But most importantly, he had the love of those who were important to him.

However, after learning from Han Xue Nai that he and his loved ones could live forever, Xie Feng’s mind and goals changed.

Perhaps, eternal life could be more of a punishment than a blessing for those who were alone; Xie Feng himself would not be willing to live for eternity in loneliness... But everything was different if he could live an eternity with his loved ones. Who would not want to live until the rocks crack, until the seas dry up, until the planets and stars become extinct, with the most important people at his side? At least, Xie Feng wanted it.

And now, that impossible dream, a fantasy dream, could become real for him...

Xie Feng looked at the ancient map in his hands... This map was the real beginning for him.

He ignored the caves and concentrated on the white dots that represented a mineral called Moonlight Rock. Xie Feng’s heart was beating a thousand miles per hour.

Maybe this map was useless to King Hu Yi... Maybe it was a useless map for 99% of the inhabitants of Adastreia Continent and for 100% of the players since they would never be able to find the place marked on it. But Xie Feng could.

Because he already knew where he should go now.

Taking out a scroll from his inventory, Xie Feng turned into a flash of white light and disappeared from the alley. The loud voices of the players and NPCs could be heard, but there was no one to hear them there anymore.

...

...

The place Xie Feng teleported to was the small town called "The Expanding Spire"; the same town where he met the little girl named Ma Lili who worked in the restaurant together with her mother, the same girl who told Xie Feng about the Calamity Palace, better known to mankind as the Sacred Sanctuary due to the powerful Light Saint Dragon dwelling there.

Due to the nearby presence of the Light Saint Dragon, there were no monsters in the vicinity of the small town, which made life much easier for its inhabitants since they did not have to fear as long as they did not roam too many miles away.

Although there were still not too many players who dared to travel to a town as far away as this one, a town that was more than a week’s ride on horseback from Eminentis City, with the average player level increasing, it was only a matter of time before the streets of this small town would start to become crowded.

Xie Feng did not linger inside the town and walked towards the south gate while equipping all his battle items.

"What is that!?" A little boy of about ten years old who was walking through the town shouted in panic as he pointed towards the sky.

"A-A dragon! It must be Lord Light Saint Dragon!" A little six years old girl exclaimed as she covered her mouth.

" D- Dumbass! Lord Light Saint Dragon is much bigger! And its scales are white, not black!" The older kid grabbed his little sister’s hand and rushed toward home. He was to tell his father that he had just seen a black dragon flying nearby!

...

...

"It feels really cool." Xie Feng took a deep breath and exhaled, a smile rising on his lips.

The treetops swayed as a giant shadow passed overhead, temporarily covering the sun’s rays before disappearing into the horizon.

Each mighty flap of Ling Long’s flapping wings in her larger form lightly shook the tallest trees. Xie Feng, standing on the head of the now not-so-small dragon, was enchanted by the view. From a height of 50 meters, although he could not see everything, he could see some small springs in the distance as well as some nearby rivers they were passing by.

In her mountable form, Ling Long gave Xie Feng an extra of 80 points of movement speed; added to his original 142 points, Xie Feng’s current movement speed was 222. At this speed, it would only take approximately ten hours for Xie Feng to reach his target destination, but he was not satisfied.

He could go even faster!

The Ring of the God of Destruction in his right hand lit up and Xie Feng activated two skills of the Elemental System at the same time.

[Wind Dance!]

[Lightning Soul!]

Wind Dance, in addition to increasing Xie Feng’s wind-type attacks, also increased his movement speed by 60 points. Meanwhile, Lightning Soul, in addition to increasing his Lightning-type attacks, gave him another 30 points of movement speed.

In just a moment, Xie Feng’s movement speed was boosted by another 90 points and the movement speed at which Ling Long was flying was 312! Such a movement speed was simply insane from any player’s point of view; not only in the current stages of the game, but also in the late stages!

Even a level 100 assassin with their third class advancement could not reach such a movement speed!

Wind Dance and Lightning Soul consumed 1000 mana points each, so Xie Feng lost 2000 mana points for every second he kept both skills active. Normally this would be impossible even for him, who possessed 10% regeneration of his total mana. However, after he obtained the Pearl of Frozen Water, Xie Feng’s mana reserves had simply become too big. With his current 500,000+ mana points, Xie Feng was not afraid of running out of mana so he made use of the skills he needed at the moment.

With his current speed, the ten hours needed to reach his destination had been reduced to just over six hours.

* * *

Xie Feng opened his eyes and unconsciously turned his gaze to the clock that stood to his left.

23:32 PM

After flying together with Ling Long for about three and a half hours, Xie Feng said goodbye to the unwilling Ling Long and disconnected from the game. Tomorrow he had to return to the university and Shen Xinya’s concert was also on, it will be a somewhat busy day.

"Pu pu pu pu pu~~"

"What the hell!"

Just when Xie Feng was thinking and his mind was clearing after disconnecting and returning to the real world, a strange giggling from his right scared him so much that he almost jumped out of bed.

Xie Feng looked beside him and saw Han Xue Nai staring at him with a strange but also happy look. Although Xie Feng felt strange in his heart because of the bright and happy eyes of the girl beside him, that strange look for some reason was bothering him.

"What’s with those eyes?" Xie Feng asked as he slowly got up from the bed.

"Hehehe..." Han Xue Nai said nothing. She jumped out of bed and ran towards the door, but before she went out she looked at Xie Feng once more and said, "Handsome big brother, you should hurry up and come down. Dinner is almost ready!"

Then she fled.

Seeing Han Xue Nai trotting up and down, like a happy little butterfly flapping its wings freely, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Xie Feng’s face... Han Xue Nai had something that made him happy every time she smiled happily, something he could not explain. But Xie Feng knew that he did not want this little girl to suffer.

After walking downstairs and heading to the kitchen, Xie Feng saw Xie Yao together with Gu Qianxue finishing preparing dinner. There were already many delicious dishes and the aroma made Xie Feng’s stomach growl slightly.

Apparently hearing the sound, Xie Yao turned around with a beautiful smile. However, just as she was about to say something, her smile froze and she stood looking at Xie Feng’s face in shock.

Casual, Han Xue Nai was standing there watching Xie Yao’s reaction with sparkling eyes. Her gaze was going between Xie Yao and Xie Feng as if she was waiting for something interesting.

Xie Feng felt strange in his heart... What’s wrong? First it was Han Xue Nai, and now Xie Yao was also acting strange. He couldn’t help but frown, not knowing what was going on.
