âI want this book. The rest of the items are yours,â Shi Feng told Late Autumn as he picked up the Silver Ancient Tombe and stored it in his bag, acting as if he had no interest in the four other items in the treasure chest.
The four other items were indeed valuable at this stage of the game, especially the Level 70 Dark-Gold helmet for Shield Warriors. Even superpowersâ experts would drool over such an item. However, even combined, these four items werenât worth nearly as much as the Silver Ancient Tome.
Godâs Domain had all kinds of Ancient Tomes to offer. Some contained clues to items, while others could cause devastating destruction. This Silver Ancient Tome could improve playersâ natural response time.
Normally, a playerâs neural response time
depended on their real-world body. Players typically had to use specialized training methods to improve their natural reaction time, as well as have the innate talent to do so. Otherwise, their success would be limited, regardless of how hard they trained.
However, the Silver Ancient Tome broke this rule and could forcibly improve a playerâs response time in Godâs Domain.
Of course, the improvement was minor, and the Silver Ancient Tomeâs effects varied from person to person, but even a minor improvement could significantly impact a playerâs performance in the game.
This tome was a special item that could make up for a playerâs congenital deficiencies. Even though the tomeâs effects werenât as substantial as a boost to physique, each Silver Ancient Tome had sold for tens of thousands of Gold during Shi Fengâs previous life. Some of the superpowersâ elderly experts had even traded Fragmented Legendary items or Basic Bloodlines to get their hands on one of these tomes, trying to make up for their deteriorating reaction time.
Shi Feng was actually quite surprised to get his hands on a Silver Ancient Tome so early. If he gave it to one of his Guildâs Refinement Realm experts, it wouldnât be long before they broke through to the Flowing Water Realm. After all, improved neural response time would indirectly improve playersâ combat standards. In fact, when the various large Guilds recruited internal members, they typically prioritized players with above-average response time.
Currently, Zero Wing had four experts stuck between the Refinement Realm and Flowing Water Realm: Fire Dance, Aqua Rose, Gentle Snow, and Violet Cloud. If they could use the Silver Ancient Tome, they might become Flowing Water Realm experts very quickly.
Once they reached the Flowing Water Realm, combined with their abilities in the Truth Realm, theyâd finally blossom into bona fide peak experts.
After Shi Feng stored the Silver Ancient Tome, Late Autumn gave the Dark-Gold Treasure Chest a hesitant look.
âGuild Leader Black Flame, this item is a piece of Level 70 Dark-Gold Equipment,â Late Autumn said as he examined the helmet for Shield Warriors. He then turned to Shi Feng and said sincerely, âOur Purple Shadow adventurer team has only avoided annihilation because of you. Accepting such an item is too much.â
At this stage of the game, even the various superpowers madly contested for Level 65 Dark-Gold Equipment, not to mention Level 70 Dark-Gold Equipment. Moreover, this was a helmet for MTs. It was far more valuable than ordinary equipment of the same level and rank.
âIâve already told you that I only wanted one item from the treasure chest. Moreover, it is only Level 70 Dark-Gold Equipment. It is nothing to Zero Wing,â Shi Feng responded. Seeing the Cursemancerâs guilty expression, he chuckled and continued, âIf you really canât bring yourself to accept it, why donât you help me out with something else? Then, you can consider the helmet your compensation.â
He didnât know much about the Purple Shadow adventurer team, but based on the teamâs performance and camaraderie, he could see that its members were righteous people. Otherwise, they likely wouldâve split up and fled from Bright Dawnâs expert team.
That was one of the reasons that Shi Feng had chosen to help them. At most, he might have saved any other team from Bright Dawnâs bullying; he wouldnât have allowed them to keep the Boss and treasure chest.
âCompensation?â Late Autumn was inwardly surprised, looking at Shi Fengâs calm expression. This Swordsman had offered a piece of Level 70 Dark-Gold Equipment as if it meant nothing to him. Moreover, Late Autumn could tell that Shi Feng was telling the truth. Immediately, he replied, âThat wonât be a problem. Guild Leader Black Flame, please tell us what you need us to do. Our Purple Shadow adventurer team will assist you with everything we got.â
âIâm heading to the Bottomless Abyss to take care of something. Iâd like your help in clearing out the mobs. The whole affair will take roughly half a day. How about it?â Shi Feng asked.
The Bottomless Abyss was the lowest-leveled God Mode Regional Dungeon in Godâs Domain. Not only did an abundance of monsters call the Dungeon home, but they were also quite challenging to deal with. Without enough strength, most teams would find themselves on a one-way trip if they tried to enter the Dungeon.
Initially, Shi Feng had planned to clear out the monsters in his path by himself. Mobilizing the Guildâs main force to help him would only be a waste of time and resources. With Zero Wingâs current predicament, the Guild couldnât afford such an operation.
However, since the Purple Shadow adventurer team had volunteered its help, he was more than glad to accept. From what he had seen thus far, Purple Shadow was quite strong overall. Although the team couldnât compare to Zero Wingâs main force, it was close to rivaling other first-rate Guildsâ main forces. The only real difference between Purple Shadow and a first-rate Guildâs main force was their equipment.
âYouâre heading to the Bottomless Abyss?â Colorful Fruitâs jaw dropped, and she stared at Shi Feng in astonishment.
For the players grinding in the Ancient Undead Country, the Bottomless Abyss was a forbidden land, yet Shi Feng had originally planned to head straight into the beastâs maw by himself.
The various major powers had already attempted to enter the Bottomless Abyss, but every one of them had returned in defeat. Some of those teams had even been comprised of experts, led by peak experts.
âAlright!â Although Late Autumn found Shi Fengâs request surprising, he decided to go through with his promise. âAre we setting off now, then?â
âMhnn, the sooner we get there, the better.â Shi Feng nodded.
âIn that case, letâs rest and recover. Weâll set off in one minute,â Late Autumn announced, glancing at his teammatesâ conditions.
âCommander, are we really going into the Dungeon?â Colorful Fruit whispered, sounding worried. âEven the Windwolf adventurer team retreated after less than an hour!â
Windwolf was the fifth ranked adventurer team in the Dark Night Empire and much stronger than Purple Shadow overall, and they hadnât even made it a full hour in the Bottomless Abyss. Moreover, only half of the team had escaped the Dungeon alive. Because of this, the empireâs adventurer teams had begun to fear the Regional Dungeon.
Asking them to spend half a day in the Bottomless Abyss was no different than asking them to commit suicide.
âOf course, weâre going. Iâve already promised him our help,â Late Autumn said. âBesides, weâre in just as much danger now as we would be in the Bottomless Abyss. We might as well take out chances.â
Currently, more than 20 expert teams were targeting them. It was almost guaranteed that they wouldnât all make it out of the Psychedelic Forest alive. Since that was the case, they might as well try their luck in the Bottomless Abyss.

After giving the matter some thought, Colorful Fruit found Late Autumnâs reasoning sound. Since both paths led to death, they could at least try to establish a friendship with an expert like Shi Feng.
Once the Purple Shadow adventurer team had rested, Shi Feng led them toward the God Mode Regional Dungeon.
About five minutes after Shi Feng and his new companions left the area, a team with an averaged around Level 67 found the Dark-Gold Treasure Chest. These players weakest piece of equipment was Level 65 Fine-Gold rank, and some of its experts even wore multiple pieces of Epic Equipment. Every member of the team radiated an imposing aura, as well. Overall, this was certainly no ordinary adventurer team.
âBoss, those people have already left. By the looks of it, theyâre heading toward the Bottomless Abyss,â a bald, Level 68 Assassin in blue reported to the stalwart man in a suit of crimson armor. âThey should only have departed recently.â
âTheyâre heading to the Bottomless Abyss? A wise decision,â the crimson-armored man said, chuckling. âItâs a pity that they caught our attention. Notify the other scouts. Weâll give chase immediately!â
