Like everyday, Xie Feng, Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue went to the university to study. The only difference is that this time, due in part to the big storm that was still raging, Xie Feng decided to drive the Land Rover Range Rover instead of walking.
Xie Feng also received a call from Gu Pojun. The old man seemed concerned for his daughter’s safety, but after he calmed down, he expressed his gratitude to Xie Feng.
Before the call ended, Gu Pojun told Xie Feng that the two ESPERS, one of earth and one of fire, had already arrived in Shanghai.
At the university, Xie Feng had lunch with the two beautiful ladies and his university friends. In addition, Mu Wuying and her dorm mates also joined them so the large group attracted a lot of attention, the eyes of the men were especially restless.

[Ding!….. Welcome to Samsara Online. Hope you have a happy reincarnation]
Not long after 1 pm, Xie Feng, Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue logged on to the game at the same time. Apparently, both girls will be able to teleport to Eminentis City soon so Xie Feng is looking forward to the arrival of both of them.
He spent some more hours in the territory of the Kangaroo Kickers killing them until his eyes seemed to see jumping kangaroos everywhere he looked.
Without hard dodging skills, they do not attack in packs, are not fast and do not have intelligence. Except for the double damage of their only skill, the Kangaroo Kickers could be considered easy to defeat monsters as long as the players have some talent.
Compared to other monsters of their level, Kangaroo Kickers do not have thick skin or a great amount of health points.
Apart from the normal Kangaroo Kickers, Xie Feng also killed some elite 1, 2 and 3 SUNS in the process. Since he was the only human being in this area, everything within his sight was equivalent to free experience for which he did not have to fight or compete with other players.
No one to talk to, no one to argue with. Just silence, a brief sound of fighting, the desperate cry of a monster, silence again.
The process was repeated for three or four hours in a row and Xie Feng only stopped his massacre when his experience bar was half full.
It was only then that Xie Feng decided it was time to begin his journey to complete the Unique Mission of the Palace of the King of the North.
Xie Feng called the Ferghana horse and after riding the beast he began his ride towards the southern part of the Adastreia Continent.
Although Xie Feng’s level was still thirteen, his experience bar was half full so he believes that no player will surpass him even if he goes a few days without killing any monsters and without getting any experience points.
It is worth mentioning that because Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue take care of the household tasks such as cleaning, preparing dinner, tidying clothes, etc, the level of both of them is currently at level 9.
For this, Xie Feng could only apologize honestly, since he only cares about eating and playing Samsara Online all day without doing anything else.

The Fresh Plains was a vast expanse of territory and there were a variety of different monsters living there.
The level of the monsters ranged from level ten to beyond level thirty. Beyond the territory of the Kangaroo Kickers was the territory of a monster called Black Sheep and the level of these monsters was seventeen. After the territory of the Black Sheep was the territory of the Hungry Hyenas of level twenty. In the southern part of the Fresh Plains was the territory of a monster called Fire Fox of level thirty.
Xie Feng never stopped and rode the Ferghana Horse through each and every one of these territories.
Although he was occasionally attacked by other monsters, Xie Feng did not stop his steps. Xie Feng’s base movement speed is 117 points, added to the 60 points movement speed of the Ferghana Horse, his total movement speed was 177 points. So none of those monsters could catch up with him and after chasing him for a while they simply gave up.
He could activate his movement skills to advance even faster, however, from Xie Feng’s point of view, it was foolish to use skills casually and waste them that way at this point.
Although Xie Feng’s attack power is terrifying compared to his current level, his HP points are barely over 2000 points. If a level thirty BOSS shows up and attacks him, then Xie Feng is as good as dead. If he dies, his punishment will be the loss of all his levels and he will lose the progress of his ride so far.
There was no doubt that a Unique Mission would be difficult, even the initial and simplest part, which was simply to travel, was already so difficult to achieve…. It was difficult to reach a safe area within a territory still unexplored by the players. With the current average level of players, only the initial area of this mission was a red zone that should not be entered since they did not have the necessary strength.
To make this world more realistic, players cannot get any information from the official forum about any monster until a player discovers them and reports them with a picture as proof. Only then players can get basic information about the monster.
Although it was not an impossible task for Xie Feng to overcome these territories, it was definitely not an easy task. There were several occasions when a pack of level twenty-five and thirty monsters almost killed him after they almost surrounded him around a lake.
Along the way, he kept going around the territories of monsters. After several hours, he finally left the Fresh Plains. South of the Fresh Plains was a place called ‘Eternal Wind’.
Besides the Imperial City and the four Main Cities of the Adastreia Continent, there were also many other cities, large and small. Although the scale of these cities could not be compared with the size of the main cities, even though they were much smaller, they still had the necessary security measures while not lacking a variety of shops. There would be no problem for players to find what they need here.
In contrast, in cities that are difficult for players to reach, occasionally special items unique to that place are sold and, of course, if one is lucky one can even find a mysterious hidden NPC waiting to be discovered.
As the first player to set foot in this city called Eternal Wind, Xie Feng did not forget to take a walk around the city. After getting five or six missions, he went south of the city.
At the door of the southern exit of the city, Xie Feng saw a middle-aged woman who looked worried looking into the distance.
Because there was no indication of a mission, Xie Feng was about to ignore her. However, when he turned his head and saw the woman’s face, he was slightly surprised to notice that her eyes seemed to be bloodshot as if she had not slept for a long time. The woman was also crying silently without making a sound.
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Feng got off the horse and put it away. Then, he approached the woman who appeared to be about 40 years old.
“Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?”. Xie Feng asked in a low, careful tone of voice.
The middle-aged woman did not seem to hear his words and continued to look away as she sobbed silently.
Instead of getting upset and leaving as he normally would if ignored like that, Xie Feng stood by the middle-aged woman. He followed her gaze and saw that she seemed to be looking into one of the woods, precisely speaking, she seemed to be looking at a large mountain in the distance.
Only after twenty minutes did the middle-aged woman turn her head and look at Xie Feng with her red eyes because of her tiredness and crying.
“I’m sorry, I’m not ignoring you on purpose. It’s just that I’m afraid if I look away for a moment, I won’t see my husband and daughter come back”.
The woman’s voice was hoarse, as if she hadn’t had anything to drink for days.
Xie Feng took out a bottle of fruit juice he had bought in town before, as he knew he would be away for several days, and gave it to the woman without saying anything.
[Apple juice: A delicious juice made from green apples. Although not very effective for hunger, it is very good to drink on a hot summer day. It reduces hunger by 4 points after drinking]
The woman’s eyes lit up when she saw the juice and without saying a word she removed the cap from the bottle and began to drink without hesitation.
Only after most of the liquid was finished, did she speak again. This time, her voice was normal. Still, Xie Feng could feel a great amount of fear, worry and even a little bit of despair in her.
“Three days ago, my husband and 10-year-old daughter went into the forest to look for fruit. Normally, my husband is the only one who goes out because it is dangerous out there. However, this time he decided to take our daughter for a walk and teach her basic harvesting skills, after all, we can’t stay by her side forever”.
