Chapter 281 - The Dark Duke

Chapter 281 The Dark DukeIn the palace hall, the Dragon Emperor on the dragon throne stayed silent. So did Xiao Feng, who was standing in the hall.

The quartermaster had been summoned to the palace hall. With sweat tricking down his forehead, he was standing next to Xiao Feng, afraid and trembling.

Xiao Feng was looking through the war achievement store of the quartermaster.

It went without saying that the reward for the quest of battlefield was substantial. The achievement points could be redeemed for many good things, including a level-30 golden suit with suit effect—golden hauberk suit with fair good property.

Apart from that, the redeemable equipment also included golden weapons, rare war horse mounts, rare dog pets and whatsoever, which were all the standard equipment of imperial legions with proper property. After all, the golden suits were rather powerful for players, which were almost no worse than the suits of instance zones.

However, the price was not low. Each piece of equipment required 100 achievement merits. To collect a whole set of suit was very hard for ordinary players, because in the quest of battlefield, ordinary players could gain tens of achievement points, or 100 points at most. Unless each of a group of people redeemed for one, they couldn’t collect a whole set.

Apart from equipment, the better reward was the official post. That was, to redeem for a title.

100 achievement points could be redeemed for the title of Decurion; 1,000 achievement points could redeem for the title of Centurion; the biggest reward was Captain, which could be redeemed with 10,000 achievement points!

However, the problem was that Xiao Feng had millions of achievement points but the title was not tradable. In other words, Xiao Feng could only redeem for a lot of equipment so as to use up his achievement points.

“Can I redeem for 10,000 golden hauberk suits?”

Xiao Feng asked with uncertainty. The golden suit was quite valuable, which was advanced equipment among players. If he could gain 10,000 of these and sell them, he would make quite a good fortune.

As per the current market price of Huaxia District, a level-30 golden suit was worth tens of thousands of real money. He would gain thousands of millions of dollars by selling 10,000 golden suits.

“Well…”

The sweating quartermaster sweated even more while hearing what Xiao Feng said.

“Haha, Archbishop, you must be kidding. The golden hauberk suit was only for generals or higher-ranking officers within our imperial legions. I could not gather 10,000 golden hauberk suits with all the supply in the national treasury.

The Dragon Emperor laughed and said to Xiao Feng playfully.

“What else can I do? You cannot deprive me of the right to redeem for the rewards!” Xiao Feng held his arms in front of his chest, who looked not easy to deal with.

“Haha. Of course I won’t. You have wiped out a majority of the forces of the Dark Legion and acquired a stunning quantity of achievement points. As the Commander in Chief of the Coalition, you led the Coalition to defeat the Dark Legion, which is an ineffaceable merit for the empire. Therefore, I must give you rewards and the rewards will be tremendous!” Dragon Emperor was still laughing.

“Oh yeah? Tremendous rewards? What are they?” Hearing that, Xiao Feng was intrigued at once.

“No hurry. After deliberate consideration, I’ve decided to grant you the title of Duke, which was an official with a ranking as high as the Legion Commander. Moreover, I will give you the City of Gloom as your fief and you will be knighted as Dark Duke!”

Dragon Emperor stopped laughing and said seriously to Xiao Feng but he appeared like drawing Xiao Feng to his side.

“What? You are going to give the City of Gloom to me?”

Xiao Feng was shocked. He was aware that light of his millions of achievement points, as long as the emperor kept his words, Xiao Feng would acquire a decent reward. Only the title of Duke would be a surprise for Xiao Feng. As an Archbishop, Xiao Feng certainly knew how many benefits such a senior title could bring him.

Somehow, he didn’t expect that Dragon Emperor would give a major city to him as reward!

Although the City of Gloom was a fortified point of Dark Legion and became an empty city after the Dark Legion was defeated, it was still a main city, which was undoubtedly of great value.

“Ding! You’ve acquired the title of Dark Duke!”

“Ding! You’ve been rewarded the City of Gloom!”

“Wait!” Xiao Feng hastened to stop. He found Qian Duoduo in the friend list and sent her a call request.

“Brother Xiao, what’s wrong?”

It was almost morning now but Qian Duoduo was still online. She put Xiao Feng through immediately and asked curiously.

“Do you know about the City of Gloom?” Xiao Feng asked directly.

“The City of Gloom? Is it the main city where the quest of battlefield started in Huaxia District last night? Of course I do. Why do you ask about it?” Qian Duoduo thought for an instant and asked in confusion.

“Then help evaluate the City of Gloom and tell me how much it is worth approximately.” Xiao Feng couldn’t wait to say.

“Evaluate? Brother Xiao, are you going to buy a main city? No, the main city is not open for purchasing. Wait! Brother Xiao! Do you get the City of Gloom?” Qian Duoduo was so smart that she had guessed what happened.

“Yeah. The Empire decides to give the main city to me as the reward for the quest of battlefield. Just help me evaluate it and give me a price on a main city.” Xiao Feng said and the first thing that occurred to him was to trade it for money.

“Oh my god! Brother Xiao! In no way can you measure a main city with money! Moreover, it is the City of Gloom we are talking about! Of course you should develop it yourself. In terms of your influence power, you can definitely expand it to the scale as large as that of a system main city! It is absolutely a golden mountain! The price of a Treasure Pavilion is no higher than that of a main city! If it is found out by the guilds like Dynasty, they will struggle to fight for it!”

Qian Duoduo was very excited over the phone and her emotion just directly hit the climax.

“Is that so?” Xiao Feng muttered. He didn’t intend to develop his own power. Being a lone ranger had become his habit.

“Haha, Archbishop, oh no, Duke Xiao, are you satisfied with my reward?” Dragon Emperor gave an amiable smile and asked.

“Yes, I am.” What else could Xiao Feng say? He hastened to hang up the call with Qian Duoduo and said with a nod.

“Haha, that’s good. In this case, Legion Commander Tiger, I’ll assign you to take care of the handover matter on the City of Gloom with Dark Duke!” Dragon Emperor waved his hand and ordered the Third Imperial Legion Commander Tiger.

“Yes, your majesty! Please come with me, Lord Dark Duke!”

Legion Commander Tiger asked to excuse him and left with Xiao Feng.

The handover of the City of Gloom was rather simple. Legion Commander Tiger asked Xiao Feng to wait in the Transformation Formation for a while and then brought a group of NPCs for the operation of the Castellan’s Residence consisting of more than 10 people. Then these NPCs were ordered to follow Xiao Feng to reach the City of Gloom via the Transformation Formation, which marked the completion of the handover matter. The City of Gloom had become Xiao Feng’s territory. Through the NPCs, he could implement the total management of the City.

After the Dark Legion was defeated, the original Transformation Formation was torn off. Now the Transformation Formation inside the City of Gloom was reconstructed by the Empire. It was originally used by the members of the Empire. After Xiao Feng became the Duke, the Transformation Formation was in the charge of Xiao Feng. Only those designated by Xiao Feng could enter and exit the City.

Standing above the ramparts of the City of the Gloom, Xiao Feng looked at the City that became quite empty and messy after the quest of battlefield and didn’t know what to say for the moment. Hence, after he ordered a group of NPCs to renovate it simply, he logged off in situ.

After a whole night of doing the quest of battlefield, it had been breakfast time.

“Brother Xiao!!!”

Xiao Feng just opened his eyes and didn’t take off the game helmet when he saw that the door was suddenly pushed open. Then Qian Duoduo wearing a short night dress rushed inside in a hurry towards his bed.

“Go away and think about what to do with the City of Gloom.” Xiao Feng kicked her away via the quilt and said impatiently. Then he started to put on clothes.

But Xiao Feng didn’t know how to deal with the City of Gloom. His game experience still stayed the same as the competition era five years ago and didn’t know much about the nowadays online game.

“No problem! I promise that I will turn the City of Gloom into a golden mountain!” Qian Duoduo promised him with a pat in her flat chest. Then she just returned to her own room in a hurry without even having her breakfast.

Xiao Feng didn’t care about her. After taking Ling out of her room, who had a difficult time getting up, he went downstairs to have breakfast in the dining room.

Ning Keke and Ling were at the same age but totally different. Ning Keke usually got up at 5 am to prepare breakfast for all. Xiao Feng could always see her being busy with a lot of work when he logged off in advance for several times. Yet, after Ning Keke saw Xiao Feng, she just called him Master and then continued to do her work.

However, Ling always had a difficult time getting out of bed every day. For many times, others had to go to her room and ask her to have breakfast. Generally, it was because she stayed up late to play games the night before. Otherwise, she would sneak to Xiao Feng’s bed when she got up early.

After a while, Si Yejing also went downstairs while singing to herself. She was also wearing little in a casual way—a top and a pair of shorts, who didn’t mind living with Xiao Feng at all. Obviously, Si Yejing was in a good mood. She must have harvested a lot on the battlefield.

Xiao Feng asked her to pick up the equipment. The creep crowd that Xiao Feng killed consisted of hundreds of thousands of creeps at least, among which there were numerous bosses. As long as she acted fast enough, the harvest was absolutely stunningly substantial.

“Hum! What are you looking at?”

Maybe she had felt the look of Xiao Feng so Si Yejing just rolled her eyes at Xiao Feng and didn’t argue with him. Instead, she just pulled her shoulder girdle back. Her skin was as white as milk and touched smooth. Due to her slim body, she looked quite pretty in her dress.

Xiao Feng didn’t want to talk to her and just stopped looked at her. After he finished his breakfast, Qian Duoduo and Liu Qiangwei still didn’t go downstairs. Hence, he didn’t wait for them. Having put the dishes back to the kitchen, he returned to his room and got ready to log on.

“Bang!”

However, when Xiao Feng just lay in bed and didn’t have the time to take his game helmet, the door was suddenly opened again.

Then Liu Qiangwei wearing a thin and transparent silk night dress showed up in Xiao Feng’s room with fastening breath. She stared at Xiao Feng and said.

“I want the City of Gloom!”

“You are so daring. What do you regard such a big main city as?” Xiao Feng was amused by her. Did breaking into his room become a fad?

“Splat!”

Yet, Liu Qiangwei just threw a pack to Xiao Feng with a determined tone as before.

“I only want the City of Gloom! No matter how many of these you will use, or none of them, I am fine! I’ll agree to whatever request you make! I only want the City of Gloom!”

Xiao Feng felt puzzled by her words and then looked at the pack in his hand.

Wait! This was a box of Durex? An ultra-thin type? Of 18 condoms?
