Chapter 1113: Chapter 1040: Impossible-Level Task
When Da Fei took Savara to the street, Holy Crown City was instantly abuzz. All the players managing to hang in Holy Crown City were the top players from China Region, all having so connection with various large guilds. So barely half a minute into his walk, Da Fei’s friend list began flashing continuously.
Looking at it, there was Bloodrose Leader Bloodrose Rosa, Star Goddess Bu Feiyan, guild beauty Bai Huasha, and old buddy Shenlan—all their chatter boiling down to one sentence: "Brother Fei, where did you get this beauty?"
With a sigh, Da Fei thought, this isn’t the ti I wish to show off, but alas, my level is so high that I can’t hide it. Fine, it’s ti to do so advertising.
Da Fei replied with a smile one by one: "Actually, she’s an artificial beauty. You should look for the deputy manager Sain at the Alchemy Guild, they have services for artificial beauties, though they’re a bit pricey."
Everyone finally understood: "So that’s an artificial beauty, no wonder she has such dazzling light and shadow effects."
Inwardly, they couldn’t help but grumble that Da Fei’s taste was getting more peculiar; ordinary female NPCs couldn’t satisfy him anymore, so he started with artificial dolls.
After ending the conversation with everyone, Da Fei arrived at the trade center in Holy Crown City. Guided by several layers of guards, Da Fei and his entourage reached a glass booth on the second floor of a circular hall. From the booth, they could overlook the hosting auction stage on the ground floor and other ordinary guests. Simultaneously, other booths were also visible from inside the booth.
The portly manager pointed at other booths and explained: "The national VIPs participating in the auction for Demon Skin are in these booths. For confidentiality, they won’t let others see them. Guests on the ground floor only participate in the auction of ordinary antique treasures. Of course, if Lord City Lord is interested, you may also participate in the auction of ordinary items. The auction event will start officially after all the guests are seated in a few minutes."
Antique treasure auction? Da Fei suddenly rembered that he had not only those Ancient Warrior sets from the Dragon Tomb but also quite a few golden plates and scepters. Surely, antiques from the Dragon Tomb deserve to be auctioned here, right? Having co this far, if not now, then when? Da Fei hurriedly counted his inventory, totaling 55 antiques.
Da Fei then said to the portly manager: "I have 55 Dragon Tomb antiques to auction. Is it convenient to handle this now?"
The portly manager quickly replied: "Convenient! The efficiency of the Seven Cities Alliance is unquestionable, VIPs can participate in the auction anyti! Lord City Lord can directly consign the items at the trade center for long-term auction, so if they aren’t sold in one auction, they can be auctioned next ti. The trade center has ti to organize the most suitable and needy guests for bidding. Of course, Lord City Lord can also opt for a temporary auction; any unsold items will be returned imdiately after the event, although the handling fee still applies..."
Oh co on! I’m not a rookie in the auction scene. Da Fei imdiately interrupted his endless chatter: "Choose to consign for long-term auction!"
The manager smiled and said: "A wise choice!"
With that, he waved to a group of attendants at the door: "Imdiately seal and register Lord City Lord’s items to be handed over to the professional antique appraisal team and treasure evaluation team!"
"Yes!"
——System Prompt: You have registered 55 unknown-valued Dragon Tomb antiques for auction in the Holy Crown City Trade Center for long-term auction. Your mailbox will receive auction proceeds periodically. Please check them regularly.
As the attendants packed and took away Da Fei’s treasures, Da Fei couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, another task completed. Although it’s uncertain how much these items would sell for, he still owed Hilda quite a bit, so anything to offset that would help.
By the way, how much do I actually owe Hilda? When he thought about the old debts unsettled and the new ones coming, Da Fei felt an indescribable bittersweet sensation.
Finally, as the auctioneer Lamp God struck the gavel: "Ladies and gentlen, the most luxurious and high-end auction in the world, is now comncing!"
The room erupted with thunderous applause, flowers flying everywhere. Then, various bizarre items were showcased one after another, with animated bidding activity below. However, none of the items caught the interest of any second-floor booth occupants, and even if Da Fei spotted sothing of interest, he wouldn’t bother competing with the NPCs. Each regular guest downstairs was no less a mogul than those encountered at the Dwarf Auction House back then.
But Da Fei did reap so reward; as a peerless oddity was grandly introduced by the auctioneer’s dramatic narration, Da Fei’s system prompt chid:
——System Prompt: You have received information for a master-level Treasure Appraiser!
Got the information! Indeed, last ti Da Fei also obtained the Treasure Appraiser information through eye-opening experiences at the Dwarf Auction House. Normally, upgrading the Treasure Appraiser level likely has only three thods: libraries, museums, and auction houses.
To obtain master-level Treasure Appraiser information, it seems witnessing a peerless oddity is necessary, which requires frequent visits to such high-end auction houses—a cumberso challenge for players’ ti and reputation.
The problem is, Da Fei simply doesn’t have the ti. This lagging Treasure Appraiser might hinder Da Fei’s path to sainthood for quite a while. But it’s alright; the Minstrel Sentinel is even more of a drag, so there’s no point in rushing.
Just then, the portly manager solemnly spoke: "Lord City Lord, the ordinary auction is about to end, and the auction for Sky Ship is approaching. We have applied for high-difficulty task surcharges, so please select the highest difficulty tasks! Because your victory in seizing the Hell Race minefield these past three days has infuriated Hell’s Side, and they are on the verge of fury."
Even though this matter was reminded to them three days ago, Da Fei was still curious and asked: "What types of high-difficulty tasks are there?"
The portly manager sternly replied: "Usually, it’s material and treasure searches, also tasks for crafting treasures. The tasks have four levels: S-level, SS-level, SSS-level, and the ’Impossible Task’ Impossible level. Lord City Lord only needs to bid for SSS-level, SSS-level is Mythical Task, beyond the capacity of ordinary mortals, but Lord City Lord is obviously not an ordinary mortal. We have great confidence in you."
Da Fei exclaid, "There’s a task that’s impossible to complete?"
The chubby manager said solemnly, "Yes, even a god cannot complete it. Listing this task is rely to express the dream of the Titan Lord."
Da Fei was shocked, "What kind of task is that?"
The chubby manager replied earnestly, "It’s about finding the 7 fragnts of the Earth Goddess Yasha’s Tears. These fragnts are all in the New World. Each fragnt is a city Divine Artifact, which not only adds a Miracle Building to the city but also significantly boosts the city’s gold coin revenue, troop production, and various trics. It’s said that with just one fragnt, an ordinary village can beco a Holy Land."
Da Fei was suddenly startled, "What is a Miracle Building then?"
The chubby manager laughed, "Of course, it’s a wondrous building like the Pyramids, Zeus Temple, Hanging Gardens, or Tower of Babel. Our Seven Cities Alliance considers itself advanced, yet we don’t even have a single Miracle Building. So you can imagine the remarkable greatness of these fragnts!"
In the New World? There’s still a week before the New World launches, right?
Da Fei asked again, "How long does this task last?"
The chubby manager replied earnestly, "5 years!"
Da Fei raised an eyebrow. 5 years is 6 months in the real world. That’s ample ti for soone like Brother Fei, who’s adept at snowballing, right? As long as I take on this task, first grabbing the balloon to develop extensively, and then within the remaining 6 months, even if I fail the task, I could always just compensate. No big deal, there’s nothing I can’t afford!
Da Fei said seriously, "If I directly accept this impossible-level task?"
The chubby manager was startled, "Lord City Lord, are you sure you really want to accept it?"
Da Fei felt a shiver in his heart, "Is the penalty for failure very high?"
The chubby manager exclaid, "No! Because the value of just one piece of the fragnt already exceeds the material value of the Sky Ship. The Titan Lord will pay extra for it. As long as Lord City Lord finds one fragnt, there’s no question of failure!"
Sain interjected, "I’m just worried that the Hell’s Side might also find a piece, or even more!"
The chubby manager shook his head, "Impossible! This is an impossible task. Hell’s Side doesn’t have anyone more talented than Lord City Lord. Hell’s Side will definitely not find one!"
Da Fei’s heart raced with excitent. As long as I find one fragnt, I’ll break even. What am I afraid of? There’s no way that, with my awesoness and the Sky Ship, I can’t find a single fragnt, right?
Da Fei made a swift decision, full of ambition, "I’ve decided. I won’t get entangled with the Hell Race in ordinary tasks. I’ll take this Impossible-level task!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone applauded, "As expected of Lord City Lord, so bold and generous!"
At the sa ti, the lighting in the auction hall dimd, and all the spotlights focused on the host’s stage. "Ladies and gentlen, let us now begin the final auction item, the auction of the Sky Ship’s power device! Let’s welco the seven distinguished guests who will bid competitively!"
At this mont, all the spotlights shone on the glass windows of the private rooms on the second floor, while at the sa ti, the flying form of the Sky Ship was projected on the stage! The entire room erupted in thunderous applause!
The host enthusiastically said, "The Sky Ship represents the pinnacle of Seven Cities Alliance’s technology. Due to so inconveniences, the Sky Ship hasn’t been fully completed, of course. If it were fully completed, it wouldn’t appear in this auction house as a non-sale item. But even as a semi-finished product, it remains a miraculous presence. The power device is divided into the balloon section and the power section, which further divides into a resource power conversion furnace and a conventional power furnace. The resource power furnace can use resources other than wood and stone as the balloon’s lifting power. The conventional power furnace uses combustion of materials such as fuel—"
Just then, a roaring voice ca from a certain private room, "Enough chatter, I’m set on this! I heard soone opened a task challenge bidding, so I’ll compete to the end. I accept all SSS-level missions! Listen up, not just one, all of them! Who dares to compete with ?"
As soon as this was said, the room was in an uproar!
The chubby manager was further stunned on the spot, "Originally, only one task could be accepted! The other party also modified the rules through connections!"
Da Fei gritted his teeth, "Then I can only take the Impossible-level?"
The chubby manager said in a deep voice, "The Impossible-level has the highest priority, no problem!"
Da Fei imdiately raised his sign, "Impossible-level!!!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welco to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
