Chapter 719 - Mastery Skyrockets
Ruins of the Imperial Capital:
On the streets filled with wandering undead, Shi Feng controlled the Tier 3 Demon to slaughter Ghouls.
However, the presence of Ghouls was quite rare, and after clearing several streets surrounding the Palace, Shi Feng had only obtained four Bronze Mastery Books. His EXP bar, on the other hand, had risen significantly. Currently, he was at 53% of Level 37. At most, he would need to grind for another day or so to reach Level 38.
Just after Shi Feng killed the last Ghoul within the 200-yard restricted area…
Golden light escaped from this Ghoul’s body and flew towards the sky. After the golden light dissipated, a golden beam shot into Shi Feng’s body.
The sound of a system notification suddenly rang by Shi Feng’s ears.
System: You have liberated a bound soul and have received the blessing of the dead. For each Ghoul you kill, you will increase your Thunder Beast Empire Reputation by 1 point.
Killing Ghouls increases my Reputation with the empire? Shi Feng suddenly understood how he could enter the Palace.
One could not casually approach a kingdom’s or empire’s Palace. One first needed a certain amount of Reputation.
Unfortunately, neither a kingdom’s nor an empire’s Reputation was easy to obtain. Generally, one had to complete special quests or obtain the First Clear of Team Dungeons to gain Reputation for a kingdom or empire.
These Thunder Beast Guards were mechanical puppets. They would only carry out the commands they had been given. Hence, if Shi Feng had sufficient Reputation with the empire, he could walk into the Palace unhindered.
Meanwhile, if one wanted to enter a kingdom’s Palace, they needed to become a Count first. As for an empire’s Palace, one had to become a Marquis.
Becoming a Marquis required 5,000 Reputation Points.
Normally, it would be exceedingly difficult to accumulate so much Reputation. Now, however, Shi Feng only needed to kill Ghouls. With this, it would be much easier to rise to the rank of Marquis.
No wonder this quest has a time limit of ten days. It turns out that I need to kill 5,000 Ghouls. Shi Feng began to understand the quest’s time limit.
Ghouls were Level 60 Special Elites. Moreover, there were also many Suffering Souls getting in the way. Shi Feng would have no choice but to kill the Elite monsters while hunting for Ghouls. Even a Level 60 ordinary expert would have to spend quite a long time killing a Level 60 Special Elite Ghoul. Each one could take anywhere from seven to over a dozen minutes depending on the expert’s strength. At that pace, even with ten days, they would not be able to kill 5,000 Ghouls.
To Shi Feng, though, this was not a problem.
One Level 52 Tier 3 Demon took less time to kill a Ghoul than a 20-man team. Fortunately, Shi Feng could control two Tier 3 Demons simultaneously.
Following which, Shi Feng began sweeping through the city for Ghouls.
Previously, as he had to wait for the Ghouls in the restricted area to wander out, Shi Feng’s range of activity had been limited. Hence, his grinding efficiency had been very low. Now that this restriction was gone, he could move from one end of a street to the other, slaughtering everything without pause.
As one Ghoul after another fell, Shi Feng’s Reputation rose.
System: You have killed a Ghoul. Reputation in Thunder Beast Empire +1.
