God-level Hero

At 6:30 in the evening, Da Fei finished his dinner delivery and went online again. At this point, a whole day had passed in the game, and Selvia had probably returned from the shipyard. If it were according to the initial plan, Da Fei would probably take her to war. But now Da Fei had changed his mind.
Going to the Japan Zone requires careful preparation, but the Blood Sea mine cannot be rushed. Besides, she’s worked hard all day, so let her rest first. Next stop, the hometown of Resentful Spirit, Oranto.
Da Fei opened the teleport map of the Elf Kingdom and suddenly found that this place actually has no direct teleportation array? Not even a post station? Damn, another kid from a remote mountain village?
Now Da Fei found it a bit troublesome; this might take quite some time. However, the more inaccessible and hard to reach, the deeper the content is likely to be. Okay! I have the Hell Horse mount to get around, here I go.
So Da Fei teleported back to the Elf Kingdom, then teleported to the elf town closest to Oranto, Orante. Without watching the lush town view, Da Fei dashed straight out of town.
Needless to say, Da Fei’s flaming Hell Horse once again drew exclamations from players along the way. However, this town of Orante is evidently the same as Buck Town, neither a development target of a large guild nor favored by ordinary players, so there weren’t many players encountered on the way.
Da Fei galloped for over ten minutes along the tree-lined path, and Oranto was ahead on the map. However, Da Fei saw nothing but a misty dense forest and high mountains with no path.
Damn! A troublesome premonition surged in Da Fei’s heart. Could the great, unappreciated teacher’s hometown be in the mountains?
Da Fei reached the end of the road, where a solitary system barrack stood at the foot of the mountain. A sign hung in front of the barrack: "Oranto Village Barracks, please deposit your troops before entering the village"!
Seriously? The barracks are built at the foot of the mountain? Is the entire mountain their village’s territory? According to the game’s style, is this a test of hide and seek for visiting players?
Da Fei had no choice but to summon the Blood Eagle to scout the mountain, and the misty forest-mountain terrain had extremely low visibility. Things were getting more complicated, and the time-conscious Da Fei was increasingly troubled.
While searching with frustration, several green dots suddenly appeared on the Blood Eagle Radar. Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped, and he quickly had the Blood Eagle fly closer to check. Indeed, there were several male and female players hurrying through the mountains. Could they be players developing in this area? Maybe they know the way? Alright, let’s catch up and ask them.
So Da Fei immediately climbed the mountain. The forest-mountain terrain is the Unicorn’s field, and the Hell Horse mount was limited in this terrain, even often getting stuck by branches. It was better to walk. But with Da Fei’s Grandmaster-level logistics plus the Divine Punishment Crusade and the Basic-level Ranger’s mobility and stamina bonuses, walking at full speed wasn’t something regular players could match. Before long, Da Fei caught up with the players ahead.
"Hey brothers in the front, wait a moment, just want to ask for directions!"
Upon hearing Da Fei’s shout, the players stopped in surprise, turned around, and were shocked: "Da Fei? Are we seeing things?"
"No mistake, it’s Da Fei! The famous one from the China Region, the one who donated the tournament prize money recently!"
"No way? He’s human, how could he catch up with us Elf Rangers in the mountains?"
"Why not? He’s Da Fei; who knows how powerful his skill attributes are!"
While listening to everyone’s discussion, Da Fei felt pleased and eagerly stepped forward to ask, "Sorry, brothers, may I ask, how do I get to Oranto Village?"
The players were dumbfounded and exchanged looks, then replied: "We’re also looking for Oranto Village, but only know the general direction. We’ve never succeeded before."
Sure enough, kindred spirits! Da Fei was suddenly delighted: "Why haven’t you been successful?"
The players were dumbfounded: "Doesn’t Brother Fei know about Oranto? It’s a Hermit Ranger Village, surrounded by multiple otherworld spaces, and even the village itself is in an otherworld. Small groups can easily get lost, while larger groups encounter powerful Mountain Giant monsters clearing the grounds. It’s not easy to find. Moreover, you can’t bring troops up the mountain here, making it harder against monsters!"
Wow! Indeed a troublesome scene designed to test players!
At that moment, a female player exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Fei, are you going to Oranto? If we team up with Brother Fei, then we surely won’t have any problems."
Players then snapped out of it: "Brother Fei, team up with us. With you here, encountering a Mountain Giant is likely no problem!"
Oh yes, time to show off in front of ordinary players! Da Fei laughed heartily: "Alright, let’s team up!"
The players joyfully teamed up with Da Fei, and he met these five players, all level 50s, 3 males, 2 females—"Stealing Sky Cat," "Yue Xingyuan," "Brother Seaweed," "Zi Qing’er," and "Baby Loves Fruits." The 3 male players were all rangers, and of course, the 2 female players were healing druids.
Da Fei smiled and asked: "What’s the fastest way to reach the village?"
Brother Seaweed, apparently the leader, quickly replied: "In my opinion, it’s best to fight our way there. Defeating the gatekeeping Mountain Giant is the fastest. Navigating the maze wastes too much time."
Stealing Sky Cat responded: "But we are few; the Mountain Giant might not even appear?"
Zi Qing’er quickly said: "Unless we invite more players to form a team."
Brother Seaweed chuckled bitterly: "Who can we call? No one would pay any attention."
Baby Loves Fruits laughed: "But we have Brother Fei! As long as Brother Fei says a word on the regional channel, the town’s players will definitely flock over to form a team!"
Zi Qing’er joyfully said: "Yes, yes, Brother Fei, just one word from you in the channel, and we can forcefully push our way through!"
Oh yes, do I have this kind of appeal? At this moment, Da Fei was moved! Okay, let me try my charisma! However, if no one in town pays attention to me, it would be embarrassing. How about spending 100 bucks to shout on the World Channel!
Da Fei asked: "How many players are needed to attract the gatekeeping giant?"
Brother Seaweed hurriedly replied: "The last two times, the local Nightingale Guild organized mountain activities, and they needed 500 people to attract the gatekeeping giant."
Da Fei nodded: "And then?"
Brother Seaweed replied: "Then the whole group was wiped out with heavy losses. After two losses, the Nightingale Guild didn’t organize this thing anymore."
So that’s it! Okay, if even I can’t lead them, then no one in the China Region can!
—World Channel [Da Fei]: Elf Kingdom, Orante Town, Orante Mountain Village, forming a group for the mountain mission. Level 50 knowledge required, waiting at the mountain foot for 20 minutes. Latecomers not waited for!
—Regional Channel [Da Fei]: Elf Kingdom, Orante Town, Orante Mountain Village, forming a group...
At this moment, the regional channel exploded: "The legendary Brother Fei is in our town!"
—Regional Channel [Nightingale]: Brother Fei! We’re the local Nightingale Guild, over 100 people, requesting Brother Fei to lead!
Da Fei laughed loudly: "Come, come, call all the experts in town!"
Nightingale was ecstatic: "Great! With Brother Fei, there’s hope for entering the mountain!" (To be continued.
