My Dream After Having a Do Over Is To Become The Best Player

Chapter 3.1: First Meeting



As Shi Feng walked towards the town hall, the streets were packed with people. The narrow streets were filled with players, resembling a market where they interacted with NPCs, trying to obtain quests.

Unfortunately, quests in [God’s Domain] were not easy to come by. This was mainly due to the high intelligence of the NPCs, who engaged in one-on-one conversations with players. Moreover, players had to be careful with their words; otherwise, they risked being ignored by the NPCs. With the overwhelming number of players all vying for quests, obtaining a simple quest was incredibly difficult.

In the short ten minutes since [God’s Domain] had opened, not a single player in [Red Leaf Town] had received a regular quest.

In contrast, Shi Feng, as a player who came from the future, had a significant advantage. Not only did he receive a quest, but it was also a unique one. Although it was somewhat challenging, the rewards for unique quests were incredibly generous. Even top players who had been playing for a month since [God’s Domain] opened would drool over the rewards for unique quests.

In the past, Shi Feng had previously led thousands of members of the [Penumbra Studio] [Duskwalkers Union] Guild and established ten major cities. He possessed a wealth of information about [God’s Domain], far more than what ordinary players knew. This included leveling strategies, methods to earn money, and more, as these were essential for strengthening a Gaming Studio with thousands of members.

In this second life, Shi Feng aimed to leverage these accumulated advantages to lay a solid foundation for future development. Naturally, he wouldn’t waste time like ordinary players, spending hours on the streets trying to snatch a regular quest. Nor would he follow the example of some professional players who ventured into the wilderness to kill monsters, where the number of players likely outnumbered the monsters.

Shi Feng’s plan was to avoid these crowded areas and instead undertake the challenging unique quest.

However, completing this quest required some money, and Shi Feng didn’t have enough at the moment.

In the early stages, each player received 10 Copper Coins. While this couldn’t buy equipment or weapons, it could be used to purchase food and drinks to address issues like insufficient health and mana.

Arriving at the town hall on the second floor of a small building, Shi Feng found a long line of players, stretching out with hundreds of people.

In any game, whether it was a village chief or a town mayor, it undoubtedly signaled an opportunity for players to receive quests, and naturally, players wouldn’t miss out on this.

“Hey newcomer, if you don’t want to incur public anger, get in line,” a burly male warrior in the middle of the line said to Shi Feng, raising his hand and pointing behind him, indicating the several people separating them.

“I’m not here to take a quest,” Shi Feng said calmly, looking at the long line at the town hall.

Compared to other quest reception areas, there was actually a lot of order here, and the efficiency wasn’t bad. Although it was a bit slower to take quests, it was still better than having no one able to take them.

The male warrior looked at Shi Feng warily. Everyone was eager to take quests now, yet someone came saying they weren’t interested in quests. Who would believe that?

“I really am not here for quests,” Shi Feng said with a smile, seeing the hostile look in the male warrior’s eyes, he thought Shi Feng was trying to cut the line. “But I suggest you go to other places to take quests; waiting here is futile.”

“Why would it be futile? Several people have already taken quests and come out,” the male warrior said, observing Shi Feng’s firm tone. However, curious as to why waiting here would be pointless.

Shi Feng smiled and didn’t explain. Instead, he changed the subject and said, “You seem like a good person. Let me point you in the right direction. Going to the wilderness to kill is the better choice.”

“I’m not going. There are too many monsters in the wilderness; I can’t compete with those people. It’s better to stay here,” the male warrior shook his head. He wasn’t stupid. At this moment, the wilderness was definitely crowded with people. With his skills, he probably couldn’t even snatch a single monster. It was better to wait here.

“That’s because you’re going to the wrong place. Go to areas with fewer monsters, and no one will compete with you. Compared to the crowded areas in the wilderness, the leveling efficiency there is several times higher. Moreover, the monster spawn rate is slow, and one person can easily handle it,” Shi Feng said with a smile.

“Is there really such a place?”

The male warrior became somewhat excited upon hearing about this place, feeling drawn to it. Waiting for a quest would take at least an hour, and the rewards were only experience points and a small amount of money. However, spending an hour killing monsters without interference would yield much more experience than quests.

“Of course, there is such a place. If you’re interested, I can offer you a discount of 20 Copper Coins. If you spend a day there, not only will you gain a lot of experience, but you’ll also earn over 40 Copper Coins from the materials you collect. If you’re lucky, you might even find some equipment, making it even more profitable,” Shi Feng whispered to the male warrior.

“Are you trying to trick me?” The male warrior looked at Shi Feng with hesitant eyes. While the prospect of such a place was tempting, 20 Copper Coins was not a small sum. In [God’s Domain], monsters rarely dropped money and equipment, making Copper Coins extremely valuable.

“If you don’t believe me, you can give me 10 Copper Coins first and try it out. If it’s true, you can pay the remaining 10 Copper Coins. I’m telling you this because I think you’re a decent person. If you don’t believe me, then forget it,” Shi Feng said before turning to leave.

Shi Feng wouldn’t have done this if he weren’t short on money. He could always make money through other means.

Just as Shi Feng took a few steps, the male warrior grabbed him.

“Wait, Sir, let’s talk. It’s just a deposit of 10 Copper Coins. Here you go; I believe a knowledgeable person like you wouldn’t deceive me,” the male warrior said with a simple smile, decisively choosing to trade 10 Copper Coins with Shi Feng.

“You’ve shown promise, so I’ll give you a good location. It’s a bit remote, but there’s a level 0 green-skinned [Goblin Mage]. Its defense is weak, it respawns quickly, and there’s a high chance of it dropping money. It’s perfect for a [Berserker] like you to farm,” Shi Feng said happily after receiving the 10 Copper Coins, providing the male warrior with a good grinding spot.

The male warrior realized that Shi Feng was familiar with the monsters in the wilderness, even knowing which ones dropped more money. He felt relieved, never expecting to meet such a skilled player. Perhaps Shi Feng was even a beta tester. With this thought, the male warrior became even more excited.

“Sir, do you know where I can find skill books for [Berserker]? Having only one skill in the early stages makes it difficult to kill monsters,” the male warrior approached Shi Feng more affectionately, already treating him like a senior.

“I can tell you, but it’ll cost you 2 Silver Coins,” Shi Feng smiled. It would take more than a few words to obtain such valuable information. Without money, he wouldn’t do it.

Hearing that it would cost 2 Silver Coins, the male warrior’s face turned pale. 2 Silver Coins amounted to 200 Copper Coins, a sum that even ordinary guilds didn’t have.

“Sir, please add me as a friend. My in-game name is IceboundSorrow. When I gather enough money, I’ll contact you,” the male warrior handed over a friend request.

“Sure,” Shi Feng agreed to IceboundSorrow’s request.

“Sir, I’ll go kill monsters now. I’ll send you the remaining 10 Copper Coins as soon as I gather them,” IceboundSorrow bid farewell happily and left the line, quickly running towards the grinding spot.

Once he had the money, Shi Feng headed towards the fruit stall next to the town hall.
