God-level Hero

When Da Fei’s mythological rating shocked the world, the big bosses in the China Region’s guild chat rooms were equally stunned.

Bloodrose Holy Spear laughed and said, "Even the trial dungeon on the Hell side couldn’t stop Da Fei, so shouldn’t our Human side’s Emperor Trial Dungeon also not stay idle?"

Divine Emperor sighed, "Looking at the whole Human Race player base in the China Region, no one is qualified to meet the Emperor, let alone take the Emperor’s instance. But, Da Fei might be an exception."

Bloodrose Holy Spear laughed, "Then let me ask Qiqi later and see if we can get Da Fei to take us to the dungeon."

Royal Dominator laughed heartily, "Good! It’s best if a beautiful lady asks for these things, and we, the Royal Family, count as one group as well!"

Eternal Star sighed, "With Da Fei’s reputation in the Elf Kingdom, it’s not impossible for him to take on the Elf King’s trial dungeon across races. When the time comes, I’ll let the Goddess move out to try; after all, it’s indeed best if a beautiful lady talks."

Ma Yinglong said gloomily, "Damn, our guild can’t find a beauty! How about Bloodrose sends a few beauties over to train the Undead on our side? Ready-made high-level accounts!"

Bloodrose Holy Spear laughed loudly, "Boss Ma, your Undead is best left aside!"

Eternal Star laughed, "Boss Ma, Da Fei is a person who can even take on instances with the Hell Race. What are you worried about? Given your relationship, even if he doesn’t take us, he certainly won’t leave you out."

Ma Yinglong shook his head, "Actually, I think there’s still a problem. Emperor-level trial dungeons alone have scenes of a thousand troops, and the strength of dungeon monsters is at least several times or even ten times that of the same type outside. When designing the dungeon, there’s a minimum guild team configuration requirement. The difficulty is so high that it’s impossible for a single player to complete it. Yet Da Fei in the Japan Zone did it alone, and even beat it at mythological difficulty! It’s absolutely impossible under normal circumstances, right?"

Bloodrose Holy Spear laughed, "The whole world is guessing; let’s not guess anymore. Let’s have Qiqi ask."

The big bosses laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, the beautiful lady, hurry up!"

So, just as Da Fei felt dizzy controlling the Blood Eagle, weaving back and forth between countless walls and getting stuck, once again his friend message rang— it was Bloodrose Qiqi.

Bloodrose Qiqi: "Brother Fei, are you free now? Several guild big shots want to discuss with Brother Fei about the Emperor Trial Dungeon."

Although not very free, being so busy isn’t good. Da Fei stopped the Blood Eagle to reply: "Emperor Trial Dungeon? A Human Race’s dungeon?"

Bloodrose Qiqi: "Yes, currently no one in the China Region can take on the task, I guess only Brother Fei has the qualification, and everyone wants Brother Fei to take them through."

Da Fei was shocked: "Not possible, right? The Japan Region has already rotated through their S-level dungeon ratings, yet no one in our China Region has the qualification? Isn’t the gap too big?"

Bloodrose Qiqi exclaimed, "Japan region is that advanced? They’re too incredible!"

Damn! Although I’m awesome, at the ordinary player level, my China Region is completely crushed! Da Fei opened the dungeon key again, a row of Japan Region’s dungeon progress popped up, then he Screenshot it and sent it directly to Bloodrose Qiqi: "Let those bosses take a look— taking people isn’t a problem, let’s talk when I return to the country! However, even I can’t be sure to see the Emperor, so the bosses should be prepared with Plan B, train up a figure who can enter the palace themselves."

Bloodrose Qiqi replied in mixed excitement, "Got it, as long as I have Brother Fei’s word!"

Ending the conversation, Da Fei heaved a long sigh, a true hero serves the country and the people; I ultimately cannot stand apart. And thinking about the great responsibility, Da Fei lost interest in continuing here wasting time in this dizzy state, because in terms of actual gaming skills, I may not be better than Japan’s professional players, what they haven’t found, what can I spot just by casually flying around with Blood Eagle?

Better to exit and see the next instance.

Just as Da Fei was about to exit the instance, he suddenly remembered something: usually, when players enter a dungeon, there’s dungeon hint, right? Especially with such a high-difficulty King-level trial dungeon, there must be hints. Pandora Dungeon was when I just entered the scene, encountered the Divine Detector’s golden light and completed the task, didn’t think of this point. Well, since this dungeon may not have gods, then the dungeon hint must exist, where’s the dungeon hint? Of course, at the entrance!

Da Fei returned to the grand entrance of the labyrinth, and sure enough, next to the door pillars, there was a line of text:

——Minotaur Labyrinth: Ordered by Zeus’ son, the great King Minos of Crete, built by Greece’s most famous Divine Craftsman xxxx. This labyrinth is used to imprison King Minos’ son cursed by the Sea God, Minotauros. Only true heroes can defeat it.

Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched! Is this a dungeon hint? The "Divine Craftsman xxxx" in this line of text is particularly eye-catching; it’s the mark of a scratched-off name! This obviously has a story, is this Divine Craftsman’s name the key to completing the myth?

Excited, Da Fei immediately searched online for Minotaur Labyrinth legends, quickly found the labyrinth was designed and built by Ancient Greece’s famous architect Daedalus, but he has a dark history; out of jealousy killed his nephew, who was also an architect, then fled to Crete to seek refuge with King Minos, and in gratitude for King Minos’ protection, built the labyrinth with all efforts.

Then, then that’s it.

Da Fei felt helpless again, knowing the name, then what? What’s the deep meaning of this instance scratching off his name? Besides, such an eye-catching mark, Japan players surely noticed it too and checked, right? If they haven’t found the clue, how would I be smarter than them?

Admittedly, although Da Fei looks down on Japan players, truly speaking of talent, Da Fei knows how capable he is.

For a moment, Da Fei fell into a deadlock again. Da Fei was a hundred percent sure that the key to solving the problem lies in this peculiar mark. The clue is right in front of him, but he’s powerless to act; this feeling is extremely frustrating! Abandon? Reluctant! Think more, think more! Certainly, a brain twist!

Could it be an English exam’s fill-in-the-blanks? Just filling in the name, miracles happen? Damn! How to fill it? It’s a game, there’s no such setting, come on!

Just when Da Fei repeatedly rubbed the mark in concentrated thought, the mark suddenly flashed white!

——System Prompt: Your Master Level Treasure Appraiser discovered a hidden mechanism! You’ve gained information on Master-level Treasure Appraiser!

Damn! It turns out to be a mechanism! It turns out the method to solve the issue was so superficial!

Ecstatically, Da Fei rubbed again, but the white light flashed and disappeared; no matter how he rubbed, there was no reaction! As an experienced treasure hunter player, Da Fei knows certainly when the white light disappears, it’s like the time to treasure hunt passes, the treasure ceases to be a treasure. Just like collecting Mushroom Robes, when the sky flash disappears, it’s impossible to collect.

And after the flash, a small half of a character faintly emerged from the mark, appeared! So treasure hunting works to restore his name. There’s nothing else to say, time for the big move!

——System Prompt: You used God-level Luck Skill "Lucky Hand"...

As a rainbow light soared, Da Fei’s eyes flashed white again!

——System Prompt: Your Master Level Treasure Appraiser discovered a hidden mechanism! You’ve gained information on Master-level Treasure Appraiser!

At this moment, the mark’s gold light flashed, faintly showing the full name, indeed Daedalus!

The next moment, a brick suddenly sprang out from the wall!

Wow hahahaha! Ecstatic, Da Fei grabbed the brick, then saw a line of text engraved on it:

——To the warrior who can find my last words: I am Daedalus, builder of the Minotaur Labyrinth, but I am not the designer. The designer is my exceptionally talented nephew. I feared my position as the top Divine Craftsman being replaced by him, so I killed him and took his design. I built this labyrinth according to the blueprint for King Minos, but no matter how I tried, I could not reach the blueprint’s design level. I knew this is a subpar labyrinth, unable to stop a true hero. When Minotaur’s death arrives, it will surely be my moment of disgrace and decapitation; this is the inevitable price of my greed and pride.

However, my nephew’s blueprint is a true masterpiece that shouldn’t be forgotten. Go to the center of the labyrinth’s Minotaur prison to search for it. But, finding it is exponentially harder than finding this last word stone; this is the true challenge for a true warrior.

...

Reading this line of text, Da Fei was stunned on the spot! What the heck, a legendary blueprint! Turns out there’s more treasure hunting to do? According to his hint, my current Master Level Treasure Appraiser certainly won’t suffice, must push to Grandmaster level! (To be continued.
