Samsara Online Chapter 58
Advertisement
Ignoring the murmur around him caused by the number of players, Xie Feng entered the Mercenary Guild building.
The interior of the building could only be described as huge and simple. There was a counter with several NPCs working, many tables and what appeared to be a bar on the side where players or other NPCs could buy drinks.
Naturally, these drinks are juices, soft drinks, coffee, tea, etc. No alcohol, as Samsara Online cannot guarantee that underage people will drink.
Even if it is a virtual world, every detail can influence the way people think in the real world.
Xie Feng looked at the map and saw that it had 3 yellow dots. One was big, one was medium and one was small.
Just to get rid of the doubts, Xie Feng walked towards the big circle, which marked a big board with many missions glued to it.
He took a sheet of paper casually and looked at the information described.
[Mission name: The kitchen is important too!]
[Type of mission: Normal mission.]
[Mission requirements: None.]
[Mission Grade: D+.]
[Description: One of the most important restaurants in Eminentis City is having problems due to the lack of ingredients to prepare its most popular dish.]
[Mission objective: Go to the territory of the iron boars and kill 10 of them, then deliver the meat to the Mercenary Guild for reward.]
[Punishment for failure: None.]
[Reward for success: 5 sivler coins and a special meat dish prepared by a mid-level chef.]
Xie Feng left the paper again on the board and after taking a few steps took another sheet of paper.
[Mission name: The flower shop needs your help!]
[Type of mission: Normal mission.]
[Mission requirements: None.]
[Mission Grade: D-.]
[Description: Grandma Mei Lin's flower shop is short of blue roses. What will become of the exotic lovers? Help them!]
[Mission Objective: Go to the nearby forest in the western area of Eminentis City and collect 20 blue roses.]
[Punishment for failure: None.]
[Reward for success: 3 silver coins and 1 blue rose.]
After shook his head, Xie Feng put the sheet of paper back in its place. He doesn't need to look any more as this board is probably full of low-range missions, most of them apparently being low-level monster-hunting or collecting missions.
Xie Feng naturally wasn't interested and wouldn't waste time with such missions, so he went deeper into the building and headed to the second floor.

However, just as he reached the stairs, a soldier in bronze armor with a bronze lance stopped him and asked politely: "Excuse me, the second floor is only available to the people with 10 points of fame or higher. Could you please show your fame points?".
Xie Feng clearly did not expect something like this, so after blinking several times in confusion, he unconsciously nodded.
After opening his status window, he showed his name and the amount of fame points he had accumulated so far to the soldier.
[Player name: Shiva]
[Fame points: 320]
The soldier's eyes opened slightly and he looked at his points of fame clearly a little surprised. However, he soon stood up with a more straight back and replied with a more respectful attitude: "Shiva, you can go to the second floor. However, let me give you some advice and go directly to the third and last floor of the building. The missions on the second floor probably won't draw much attention to you".
Xie Feng simply nodded and walked up the stairs.
He knows that fame points are very difficult to obtain. They can only be obtained by completing extremely complicated missions or by killing high-ranking BOSSES.
However, when killing a boss the fame points are divided in equal amounts between a maximum of 20 people. So if an entire guild kills a BOSS, only the 20 with the highest contribution in battle will get a part of the fame points as a reward for killing the BOSS.
The only reason why Xie Feng has so many fame points at this stage of the game is because he killed bosses far above his level, with a higher grade and completely alone. Otherwise, his current fame points would be two digits at most.
Although the guard advised him to go directly to the third floor, which implies that he also meets the requirements to enter the top floor of the place, Xie Feng decided to take a look at the missions on the second floor as well anyway.
On the second floor there were currently only a few players surrounding the board. Some of them would sometimes look at a mission and apparently satisfied with the objective and rewards, they would take the sheet to the second floor to officially record the mission.
Xie Feng also approached the board, casually took one of the missions and observed the contents.
[Mission name: Bears everywhere]
Advertisement
[Type of mission: Normal]
[Mission requirements: +10 points of fame]
[Mission grade: C+]
[Description: The Brown Bears that usually rested in the forest began to expand their territory, getting closer and closer to the surroundings of Ciudad Eminentis.]
[Mission Objective: Kill 20 Brown Bears]
[Punishment for failure: None]
[Reward for success: 15 silver coins / experience / a random piece of equipment level 10 Steel.]
After reading the content of the mission, Xie Feng took another one and looked at its contents. The mission was to hunt a monster called the Blood Tiger.
Like the Brown Bear hunting mission, this mission was about hunting monsters slightly above the current average level of players.
Brown Bears are level 11 while Blood Tigers are level 12. Although the level 10 difference between the players and the Brown Bears is only one level, that level difference is not something that can be overcome so easily in the initial stages.
Naturally, a person who was lucky enough to get a good piece of equipment can overcome such a gap. However, something like luck is too random to trust.
At least, Xie Feng would rather rely on the strength of his brain and body than on luck.
Not wanting to waste any more time, he headed for the third floor stairs. There a soldier in silver armor and a silver lance was waiting for him.
Seeing Xie Feng approaching, the guard took two steps forward and blocked his path. Then he said in a serious tone of voice: "This floor is only allowed for those with +100 fame points. Show your status window or step back".
Xie Feng secretly rolled his eyes.
From the tone of the soldier's voice, Xie Feng could clearly tell that the soldier does not believe that he has +100 fame points at this stage of the game.
Still, it is normal to think that way. Unfortunately for the soldier, Xie Feng meets that requirement and exceeds it by far. Therefore, the reaction of the soldier was exactly the same as the one of the soldier in bronze armor, only this soldier recovered faster and said
"Player Shiva, you can go to the third floor now".
Xie Feng simply nodded slightly and without wasting any words he went up the stairs.
On the third floor there was no one, as Xie Feng expected after hearing the requirement to enter this level. Most players will only be able to access the third floor when the game approaches or enters the intermediate stages.
After making sure there was no one but him, Xie Feng headed for the board, the smallest circle of the three mentioned above.
There was only one sheet of paper.
Xie Feng took it in his hands and read it.
[Mission name: Unknown]
[Type of mission: Unique]
[Mission Grade: Unknown]
[Mission Requirement: 100 Fame Points]
[Mission description: Please, go to the King's palace in Ciudad Eminentis for more information.]
Unique Quest!
A Unique Quest. It was a quest that once a player accepted it, no other players could accept the same quest. Usually the requirement for these quests were extremely harsh and the quests themselves would be extremely difficult. At the same time, the rewards for the quest would be hard to imagine.
But, the quest requirement of having 100 Fame Points...
He did not expect that the only mission on this floor would actually be a mission of a unique grade.
Much less did he expect that the mission would be published by the King of the city himself.
The total size of the Adastrian Continent is so vast that it is impossible to describe in words. Therefore, a single Emperor naturally cannot control its entirety.
In order for the rules and laws established by the Imperial City to be followed and spread throughout the continent, the previous Emperor, before his death, appointed four kings.
***********************
Hello, XIETIAN here:
Some of you may wonder why I use a short section in the chapter instead of the author's thoughts. The reason is simple, and is that the vast majority of readers do not read the author's thoughts, often ignoring important information. This causes many times that the readers don't know when a chapter was updated or when something from the previous chapter was changed due to an error on my part (as it happened in chapter number 48, in which due to personal errors at that time, I forgot to write some statistics. Chapter 48 was already fixed and I was notified of the change the next day. )
I would also like to let you know that I have removed the weekly goals. For a while I need to accumulate chapters, notice in advance so that there are no problems later.

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. After finishing school at the age of ten, John received his standard issue pipboy. An arm mounted personal computer, worn by everyone in the Vault. Used to coordinate the relentless pace of expansion, needed to work as an apprentice. To learn the craft that would be his life’s work. A noble calling to ensure a future for all that remained of the human race.

And capable of doing far more than its drab counterparts. The world above had been ravaged by atomic flames, yet life clung to its bones. The Red Valley fared better than most in the century since the bombs fell. The clean water and rich soil protected by rolling hills. All spared from direct strikes, for the most part. Life survived here. Trees spawned from charred ground, misshapen, green leaves turned red. Along with simple crops, grown wild at first, then cultivated by the survivors. The scavengers of the old world were inventive, hardy people. All determined to rebuild in the ruins of a world they never knew. In the decades that passed settlements emerged. They grew, spreading along the valley floor. Reclaiming the pre-war remnants of the once industrialised heartland. Salvaging the robotic wonders of a bygone age to build their walls and work their fields. To protect them in the dark of the wasteland. But such things are uncommon in this world, and the rarer something is, the greater its value. And the worth of pre-war technology had not gone unnoticed. The last, real, power in this world rested in the mechanised hands of The Brotherhood of Steel. Forged from the mortally wounded old world military. The Brotherhood used its access to the weapons made for a conflict no one won to strike out into the wastes. Men and women were equipped with advanced armour, aerial transportation, high grade weaponry. Accompanied by the training, strength, and will, to put them to use. They established chapters and set up outputs far and wide. All dedicated to a single purpose. To ensure the technology left abandoned by its long dead creators didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Namely, any hands that were not their own. This is the world John escaped into. A place of horrors brought forth from atomic fire. A place where survival meant battling against the darkness. Fighting a war each day to get to the next. And war...war never changes
