My Dream After Having a Do Over Is To Become The Best Player - Chapter 2.1: Sherlock's Request

All swordsman players had the same initial attributes, with the only difference being their choices in distributing their free attribute points.

For every level gained, players could obtain four free attribute points. As levels increased, the distribution would vary, forming their own style.

Strength increased physical attack power and carrying capacity, agility increased attack speed and movement speed, endurance increased health points and stamina, intelligence increased magic attack power and magic points, and spirit increased mana regeneration speed and healing amount. Each Class had its own emphasis.

Swordsmen were physical damage dealers, and most people would prioritize strength. Shi Feng had chosen this distribution in his previous life as well: 2 points in strength, 1 point in endurance, and 1 point in agility, which was considered a very standard and mediocre choice.

However, Shi Feng had no intention of distributing his points in the same way this time.

Without hesitation, Shi Feng clicked the plus sign next to agility, allocating all four attribute points to agility, raising his agility to 7 points at once, increasing his attack speed to 4 and his movement speed to 5.

This distribution method was not something even assassins, known for their agility, would do. In the early stages, it was common to prioritize damage and allocate more points to strength for easier leveling up.

Unfortunately, Shi Feng didn’t think so.

In the early stages of God’s Domain, for melee classes, agility was the best choice. This was a secret discovered weeks after the opening of God’s Domain, causing countless melee classes to regret their initial point allocations.

After allocating the attribute points, Shi Feng looked around.

In just a short while, a large number of players were teleported over again. The central square, not very large, was filled with green diamond-shaped markers, all representing players, completely covering the yellow NPC markers, making it difficult to find an NPC.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Shi Feng’s voice communication rang. Looking at the name “Black Clouds Covering the Sun,” he knew it was Hei Zi calling.

“Shi Feng, I chose the Sorcerer class and was teleported to Fallen Moon Town. Where are you?” Hei Zi was very excited when he entered God’s Domain, eager to show off his skills.

“I’m in Red Leaf Town, not too far from Fallen Moon Town. Come to Red Leaf Town, and I’ll help you level up.” Shi Feng said.

“Shi Feng, you’re crazy. Do you know how far Fallen Moon Town is from Red Leaf Town? According to the map, it’ll take me 7 hours to get there. I’ll fall behind other players by a lot if I come over. Let’s level up individually. We’ll meet up at level 10 in White River City.” Hei Zi was almost spitting blood out of anger. Earning 16,000 credit points in ten days was already crazy enough, and now Shi Feng wanted him to waste 7 hours coming over. He wouldn’t do it even if he was beaten to death.

“Don’t worry, when you get here, the wasted time will quickly catch up.” Shi Feng said calmly.

Hearing Shi Feng’s confident tone, Hei Zi, excitedly asked, “Shi Feng, do you have information from the closed beta testers?”

Before the opening of God’s Domain, many people were invited to test it, known as closed beta testers. They had the first-hand information about God’s Domain. Although God’s Domain would make changes, the closed beta testers knew much more than ordinary players.

“What do you think? Anyway, hurry up and come.” Shi Feng said mysteriously.

Hei Zi got excited when he heard this, knowing that Shi Feng must have reliable information. Otherwise, he wouldn’t say that. “Okay, Shi Feng, wait for me. I’ll go now.”

After ending the call with Hei Zi, Shi Feng walked toward the dim alley in the small town.

The entire Red Leaf Town had hundreds of NPCs, but only dozens of them gave out quests, with only five hidden quests. There was only one unique quest, and once completed, it would disappear.

And this unique quest in Red Leaf Town was only discovered two months after the opening of God’s Domain. At that time, it caused a sensation throughout White River City. Since the quest was unique, the lucky person who completed it posted the strategy online, making many players envious. Unfortunately, the quest was already gone, and players couldn’t do it even if they wanted to.

In this life, Shi Feng naturally wouldn’t miss out on this unique quest.

Shi Feng arrived at a dim alley, where ragged beggars were scattered around. As soon as they saw Shi Feng approaching, they swarmed over like hungry wolves, begging for food.

There were players who had given these beggars plenty of food before. However, these beggars would then ask for more and more, with the requests becoming increasingly expensive and rare. Despite agreeing to all these requests and satisfying over ten of them, the players ended up getting nothing in return from these beggars, almost driving them crazy and becoming the subject of ridicule.

“Get out of here!” Shi Feng shouted loudly, drawing his beginner’s sword. The beggars, who had no ability to resist, scattered upon seeing this, retreating to the side.

As the beggars dispersed, Shi Feng walked to a corner where a beggar lay. He was a destitute middle-aged man who was no different from the other beggars, except that he was the only one who hadn’t asked for food. He seemed to have some dignity.

“Do you need any help, sir?” Shi Feng asked the man in a very formulaic manner.

“Could you spare some food? I haven’t eaten in five days,” the beggar man said.

Shi Feng smiled faintly and said seriously, “Unfortunately, sir, I cannot fulfill your request.”

If a normal person heard this, they would probably be so angry they’d spit blood. However, the beggar just sighed and didn’t say anything further.

“However, if you’re willing to pay the corresponding price, I can provide you with the food you need,” Shi Feng said.

The beggar looked up at Shi Feng, his eyes filled with hope. “If I had money, I would definitely pay for it. But I have nothing now. If, and only if, you are willing to help me, I will pay a sufficient price. Will you help me?”

“What do you want me to do?” Shi Feng asked.

The beggar said very seriously, “Please help me kill the mayor of Red Leaf Town, Cross.”

Although Red Leaf Town was a small town, the mayor was a level 15 NPC with level 25 guards by his side. Moreover, killing an NPC would result in being wanted by other NPCs. Killing the mayor was undoubtedly a very crazy act. No player would believe it was a quest; it was basically sending players to their deaths. No one would agree to such a ridiculous request.

“Okay, I agree,” Shi Feng said without hesitation, smiling.

System: Accepted unique quest “Sherlock’s Request.”

Quest details: Kill Mayor Cross of Red Leaf Town and hand over the mayor’s emblem to Sherlock. Player level cannot exceed level 10.

After accepting the quest, Shi Feng turned and walked toward the town hall where the mayor was located.
