Samsara Online Chapter 8
Advertisement
After Xie Feng handed over his mission to the village guardian, he went to a secluded spot in the beginner's village.
...
After walking for a few minutes, Xie Feng finally arrived at a place that seemed to be used for NPCs to feed sheep, cows, goats, horses, and all kinds of animals.
Naturally, these animals are those that were not corrupted by the dark mana of the Moon Devil clan.
Xie Feng looked both ways and made sure no one was around, and after making sure he was in the right place, he activated the Ring Switching skill.
Change: For unknown reasons, the Ring of the God of Destruction changes the owner's appearance by force. Note: It can be deactivated twice a day for 30 minutes (2/2).
That's right. The reason Xie Feng wanted to find a slightly secluded place is because he wanted to return to his real appearance.
At Samsara Online, people always look exactly like the real world. Therefore, in every city in the game, including the beginner's village, there are masks to cover the appearance in case someone does not want to reveal himself.
Xie Feng himself had planned to get a mask from the general store; however, after the Ring of the God of Destruction chose him as his master, it was no longer necessary.
Because the ability to switch forced Xie Feng to change his appearance for a completely different one, it didn't make sense for him to buy a mask.
Swoosh!
The ring on his index finger glowed slightly for a moment and then went silent again.
Xie Feng walked over to a small lake and looked at his reflection.
There he saw a young adult with black hair, dark eyes, slightly above average appearance.
Xie Feng nodded with satisfaction that he was back to normal.
After changing his appearance, Xie Feng ran to the potion store.
The beginner's village, at least where Xie Feng is now, was created extremely brilliantly.

Every important and necessary place for the players is connected with several secondary streets or alleys. These side streets or alleys were connected to a single main street, and this main street was connected to essential points.
The central square, potion store, general store, blacksmith store, food store, etc.
Samsara Online was developed in such a realistic way that, apart from an immersion of almost 100% of the senses, it also had included a feeding and hunger system.
When the player's hunger exceeds a certain limit, the player starts to lose his/her HP points slowly until he/she eats something again.
...
Xie Feng soon arrived at the potion store.
He could not help but look out the window he had previously knocked on and saw that it was still broken. Even the glass was scattered on the floor; apparently the NPC didn't bother to fix it.
Xie Feng made sure again that his appearance was different and entered the store with confident steps.
The interior of the potion store looked a little gloomy, dark. It seems that the old man that Xie Feng had seen before liked dark places.
Anyone would normally feel a negative feeling towards these kinds of places due to the sinister atmosphere. However, it was the opposite for Xie Feng.
If someone gave Xie Feng the choice of living his whole life in the sunlight or in the dark, he would certainly choose the second option.
"Honorable sir, how are you? I wonder if you need help with anything lately."
Xie Feng immediately acted like a polite person to the person he was running from just a few minutes ago because he destroyed his property.
The old hunchback raised his head slightly and looked at Xie Feng through his unkempt hair.
Xie Feng immediately tensed at the sight of the old man's eyes. They were extremely cold eyes like a poisonous snake.

Xie Feng himself is very confident, but at this moment, he realized that this hunchbacked and sloppy looking old man was undoubtedly the strongest NPC he had ever seen.
Even stronger than the Village Guardian.
Xie Feng also realized that if this old man really wanted to catch him before, then he would not have been able to escape even if he activated the movement skill attached to the ring.
For a moment, Xie Feng felt a little worried that the old man would discover him.
[Ding...because of your high charm, you get +2 favorable impression from potion seller Xiao Lei]
Upon hearing the announcement of the system, Xie Feng was relieved that the old man did not discover it, but what he felt most was a surprise.
'Only +2 of favorable impression? Clearly I spoke politely, in addition to my high charm; the favorability should increase by at least 5 points'
"Give me 50 wolf fangs, if you can't, then buy or leave."
[Ding!... Xiao Lei wants you to bring him 50 wolf fangs.
Mission grade: common
Mission time limit: 5 hours
Punishment: Favorable impression -2
Reward: Favorable impression +1
Note: If you decline this mission, you will no longer be able to receive missions from Xiao Lei in the future.
Accept?]
Xie Feng could barely contain the urge to spit in the old man's face and curse him a few hundred times when he saw the system announcement.
If he successfully completed the mission, then he would get one point of favorable impression from Xiao Lei, if he failed the mission then he lost 2 points of favorable impression.
More importantly, there are no more rewards!
'What kind of rewards are these?' -Xie Feng thought to himself.
Xie Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After he calmed down, he opened his eyes again and looked at the old man.
Xiao Lei, the NPC from the potion store, had closed his eyes again lazily and no longer cared for him. In fact, it seemed that even if Xie Feng tried to rob his store, this old man would not move.
No matter how Xie Feng thought about it, accepting this mission was more of a loss than a gain. However, he still gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Okay, 50 wolf fangs, right? I'll get them for you."
[Ding.....mission successfully accepted!]
Xiao Lei did not respond, continuing with his eyes closed, apparently unperturbed by the fact that Xie Feng decided to accept his ridiculous mission.
After accepting the mission, Xie Feng turned around and left the potion store quickly.
He had no confidence in resisting the urge to punch the old man in the face, even with his self-control.
Xie Feng did not stop anywhere. He left the village and advanced directly north of the map into the forest.
His goal was naturally the territory of the wolves again.
Xie Feng did not accept this mission because he was stupid, but because he was intelligent.
Any player would probably be enraged to be treated with such indifference by a careless old man and, after that, receive the mission to kill level 5 monsters only to get +1 favorable impression as a reward.
However, Xie Feng is different.
The reason why Xie Feng accepted that mission is because he does not believe that the developers of Samsara are so crazy as to create a NPC that gives useless missions.
Adding to the feeling of pressure that Xiao Lei gave him when he looked into his eyes, Xie Feng is sure that if he completes this mission, he will get something good out of that old man.
