Chapter 753 - Title: Sword King
I’ve finally finished this quest. Shi Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the system notification before him.
Although it was not difficult to kill 10,000 players in the time-frame Sharlyn had set, it would be very time-consuming if he had gone out of his way to do so.
Where would Shi Feng, who already had his hands full with his own tasks, find the time to hunt random players?
Now that he had completed the Epic Quest, Immortal Crown, the weight bearing down on Shi Feng’s heart lifted significantly.
After all, he still had an extremely deadly Legendary Quest waiting for him.
Lord of Balrog’s Fall!
If he did not gain the promotion to Tier 2 quickly, only death awaited him.
Failing an Epic Quest would partially cripple a player. However, there was still a chance to recover from the blow. A Legendary Quest, on the other hand, was different. If failed, the penalty would render the player’s account useless. In the past, even though many players had encountered the opportunity to undertake a Legendary Quest, they had hesitated for a very long time before making a decision. There were multiple known instances where players, who had not been strong enough, had accepted a Legendary Quest. In the end, they had to delete their accounts and start all over again. Hence, in the past, many players had chosen to pass on the opportunity to challenge a Legendary Quest, either challenging it later or selling the quest’s information to stronger, bolder players.
A Legendary Quest’s rewards were incredibly bountiful. Normally, they would reward either a Fragmented Legendary or Legendary item. These were invaluable to a player, and they could push a player’s combat power to the next level. Hence, one could gain quite a profit by selling information about such quests.
In the past, many players who had known that they were too weak would sell these Legendary Quests to large Guilds, earning Coins or items to strengthen themselves instead.
Others had scolded these players for being foolish. After all, just how much of a boost would a Legendary item offer a player?
Even so, many people had still envied such players. After all, it was extraordinarily difficult to complete a Legendary Quest as an individual. Obtaining one or two pieces of Epic Equipment without bearing any of the risks that came with a Legendary Quest definitely made it a worthwhile trade.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. A small advantage was more beneficial than a massive risk. Improving one’s strength was the priority.
However, a Legendary Quest was not as easy as an Epic Quest.
Epic Quests were similar to Epic items in God’s Domain, while Legendary Quests were similar to Legendary items. Although Epic items were very high-end, they would gradually become commonplace among the general populace. A Legendary item, on the other hand, would remain a rarity. Not many players would ever encounter one without heaven-defying luck.
Moreover, the players’ decisions to sell the Legendary Quests had been proven a wise one because, among the large Guilds that had purchased these quests, 90% of them had failed to complete their Legendary Quests even after suffering tremendous losses. Many of those Guilds’ experts had been forced to start all over again.
Shi Feng knew of a few Legendary Quests he could pick up. However, he wasn’t quite strong enough right now, so he would not try to take these quests on just yet. Yet, Shi Feng never imagined that the Legendary Quest that he tried so hard to avoid would come looking for him instead.
