Chapter 21 In the white clouds
Xie Feng picked up the item with a faint flash of gray light and looked at his information:
[Demon Tiger Shoulder Pads]: Silver grade equipment.
Equipment Requirements: Level 10
Properties: Not identified.
Unusable.
Seeing this, Xie Feng simply shrugged his shoulders and kept the silver shoulder pads in his inventory along with the rest of the equipment he would use later, unless he got something better.
In truth, Xie Feng was already expecting something like this to happen. Silver-grade equipment onwards often needs to be identified before its stats can be seen and then equipped.
Even some higher ranking bronze items need to be identified.
However, Xie Feng is in no hurry to identify the shoulder pads. This is because he is currently level 6 and is a considerable distance from level 10.
Samsara Online's experience system is very diversified: it was created in such a way that level 1 and level 2 are completely different. It is not as simple as needing twice the amount of experience at the previous level.
Therefore, Xie Feng is very clear that it will take him a few days to reach level 10. What's the point of knowing the properties of something you can't use anyway.
After collecting the 3 most important items, Xie Feng quickly collected all the gold coins and potions that the Demon Tiger dropped.
However, after collecting everything, Xie Feng still didn't leave and instead squatted next to the tiger's Lord grade body, put a hand on its body and started using his basic 'harvesting' skill.
[Ding....your harvesting skill has failed.]
[Ding... your harvesting skill has failed.]
Xie Feng stopped for a moment and soon understood the reason too. The reaping skill was divided into the following levels:
Beginner, intermediate, advanced, immortal. More than these 4 levels there are others, but according to information of the official forum of Samsara Online not even NPCs could reach such levels.
Xie Feng's harvesting skill was only beginner level and was intended to be used on normal monsters or to pick herbs from the ground, not for a BOSS Lord.
However, there was no way for Xie Feng to give up therefore, he continued.
[Ding...your harvesting skill has failed.]
[Ding... you' ve successfully harvested 2 tiger eyes.]
[Ding...your harvesting skill has failed.]
[Ding...your harvesting skill has failed]
[Ding... you''ve successfully harvested demon tiger skin.]
[Ding...you've successfully harvested Spotted Lotus.]
After the last successful announcement of the system, the corpse of the Demon Tiger disappeared into light particles.
However, this could not attract the attention of Xie Feng. This was due to the last announcement of the system.
He had to breathe several times to contain the urge to run to the potion store and destroy the rest of the windows of that old man Xiao Lei.
Xie Feng gritted his teeth and whispered: "Now I understand why the hell I couldn't find that Spotted Lotus grass..."
The reason why he could not find the grass that Xiao Lei was asking for is simple: the Demon Tiger, a Lord beast, had eaten it!
How could a player at this stage beat a Lord Boss and get that herb? That's absolutely impossible. The only reason Xie Feng could win is because of his reflexes and speed of reaction, however he also knows very well that without the magic damage given by the Ring of the God of Destruction he probably could not have broken the defense of the Demon Tiger, let alone kill it.
Xie Feng looked at the grass in his hand: it was white with a single black dot in the center. After that, he used 'inspect' skill on the Spotted Lotus.
[Spotted Lotus]: Grass
Note: Extremely rare and one of the few remaining in existence. Usually used to prolong life expectancy or cure serious illnesses.
After reading the information on the Spotted Lotus, Xie Feng couldn't help but laugh to himself and mumble:
"Damn old man, you think you can play with me? Look how I, your grandfather, makes you bleed. Hehe...hidden store, I wonder what good things it hides."
Xie Feng formed an idea in his wonderful mind.
After looking around and making sure he didn't leave any coins behind he disconnected from the game.
[You will be disconnected in 10 seconds.]

Xie Feng opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the white ceiling he was so familiar with. He sat up in bed and looked at the time on the digital clock that was in the corner of the room.
8:27
Seeing that it was still early, he stood up and left the room.
When he opened the door, Xie Feng heard sound in the kitchen and could not help but smile warmly.
"Yao'er, let me help you to prepare the dinner."
Xie Yao looked back and smiled happily when she saw that Xie Feng had disconnected earlier than promised. She naturally accepted his help and the two of them began to prepare dinner.
______________
At the same time, over the sky of the world Samsara.
From this place you could have a wide view of the Beginners Village number 666. However, from below, players would only see a lot of clouds and blue sky.
In the white clouds:
A slim silhouette with a yellow dress and a veil covering her face and hair completely observed the place where the Demon Tiger died just a few minutes ago.
Even without seeing her appearance men would be enchanted by the figure of her body. Not only was this woman's body impressive, the aura around her was as if the heavens adored her: as if she were an immortal being from the novels.
Just a few seconds later, a small figure appeared next to the woman dressed in yellow and said happily:
"Master, he actually defeated a Lord grade BOSS by himself!"
The woman in yellow shook her head slightly, causing the bells that adorned her veil to tinkle, and responded with a soft voice:
"No, he is too weak...sigh. I hope he can overcome the test he will face in a few days, otherwise all this will be meaningless."
The small figure remained silent and after a long time asked a little worried:
"But...that challenge is it not too cruel? After all he is only a player...there is no way he can beat that bull with his current strength."
The woman in yellow shook her head again and said with the same soft, calm voice as before:
"Not everything has to be done with brute force. Don't underestimate him...let's wait a few days and see."
Whooosh!
With a breeze of wind, the woman in a yellow dress and the small figure disappeared.
The place recovered its calm and silence again.
