God-level Hero

When the Divine Detector showed the target’s location on the radar, Da Fei was overcome with joy and raced all the way. Perhaps this place once held treacherous instances, but after being cleared by Japanese players, it posed no threat at all.

Finally, Da Fei arrived at a desolate plaza, where the ground was scorched and barren. Suspended in the sky was a faintly white mist-like light ball drifting about — without a doubt, it was the Divine Soul.

Unlike when Da Fei initially discovered Crow Anso using the Divine Detector, where he had to stare for a while to find it, this one was apparent. From Da Fei’s experience, if a player can discover a deity, chatting is at least possible.

Alright, let’s start with a greeting! Da Fei waved and said, "Hello, I see you. Can you hear me? Can you see me?"

A soft female voice from within the light ball spoke in surprise, "Mortal, you can actually see me?"

A female? A Goddess!? My favorite! Associating her with the name of this instance, Da Fei, caught up in excitement, blurted out, "Is it Goddess Pandora?"

The female voice excitedly responded, "I am Pandora, brought to life by Fire God Hephaestus from clay, endowed with beauty and charm by Beauty Goddess Venus, given speech skills by Messenger Hermes, and named by King of Gods, Zeus. ’Pan’ means ’all’, ’dora’ means ’all gifts’, my name implies ’a woman of all talents’. I am a gift from the gods to mankind — Warrior, you have conquered me! I am your gift!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the light ball dispersed into white light, and in a flash of brilliance before Da Fei, a pleasant system prompt chimed:

——System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully conquered Pandora and earned the Mythical-Level Tradable Hero Pandora’s followership. You have obtained the Divine Artifact "Pandora’s Box"!

——Pandora’s Box: Divine Artifact, Pandora’s innate soul resides within the box. Opening the box can summon 108 Demon Stars, each summon requires consuming a large amount of player’s experience points. Trading this artifact transforms Pandora’s ownership.

——System Prompt: Congratulations! You have perfectly completed the Mythical-Level Dungeon "Pandora’s Box", gaining +10 million experience, and you receive the "Mythical-Level Rating" for clearing the dungeon. The Pandora’s Box dungeon is officially complete. Would you like to announce the rating results in the world announcement? (Note: World announcement will increase world reputation by +10,000 points and Hell Camp reputation by +100,000 points.)

...

The golden light scattered, and before Da Fei stood a woman clad in a white robe with a flower wreath on her head, resembling an ethereal yet blurry Ancient Greek priestess!

Is this Pandora? Just with a sentence, she’s mine? In this moment, Da Fei was stupefied and incredulous!

Pandora then softly laughed, "Master, I am fundamentally different from other heroes; I can be traded as a gift because my existence is meant as a gift from the gods to humanity. I don’t necessarily belong to anyone, so if you tire of Pandora, you may pass me on as a gift."

Da Fei was once again startled and hurriedly checked the system information, holy crap! I’ve never heard of a tradable hero before!

Heroes are considered the pinnacle of mortal sacred existence, so even the random heroes from taverns have temperaments and personalities and can’t be traded like selling troops or commodities. If players are unsatisfied with a vice-hero’s low capabilities, their only option is to dismiss them with a severance fee. As for the experience and time players spend cultivating heroes, they have to accept it.

Now, a tradable beautiful hero is standing right in front of him! Da Fei’s heart was overwhelmed with waves — how many billions is this worth? I’m talking about US dollars!

Wait! Not physically alive? Da Fei nervously asked, "Why — are you like this? Where’s your body?"

Pandora laughed, "Sorry, Master, right now I don’t have a body; this is my soul’s mirror image. I need to continuously absorb the Master’s experience points to gain a body, at which point I will possess hero capabilities, with a full set of Master-Level conventional hero skills and sub-skills, capable of handling any position and becoming your most outstanding subordinate! Oh, if I am defeated and die, my soul will return to my magic box, so please be cautious in keeping my box safe!"

So that’s how it is! It’s like Renior, who was turned into a hero ghost, and this soul-inhabiting magic box is similar to a lamp god or necromancer!

In shock, Da Fei clicked on Pandora’s attribute skills; all current attributes were 0 — well, no body, right. Then there were skills: sure enough, all sorts of Master-Level attack skills, defense skills, leadership skills, arrow skills, luck skills, construction skills, accounting skills, light magic, dark magic, arcane magic — everything imaginable! With so many skills, who knows how many professions can be formed?

No wonder she’s "a woman of all talents"! No wonder she’s a Mythical-Level hero, she’s going to overshadow all my beloved harem concubines!

At this moment, Pandora spoke again, "Master, there’s something strange about your current state!"

Da Fei finally returned to consciousness, "What’s strange?"

Pandora gravely said, "Master, your time seems to be stopped, and no matter how much experience you gain, you can’t level up, which also means I can’t level up or serve you."

Da Fei suddenly panicked. Damn! She even noticed this? Da Fei hastily asked, "Then how do I break this state?"

Pandora shook her head with a smile, "Although the gods gave me everything, Wisdom Goddess Athena alone refused to give me wisdom, so I can’t answer your question."

Da Fei was stunned, "Why does Athena refuse to give you wisdom?"

Pandora shook her head with a smile, "What would such a perfect woman be like if I also had wisdom?"

Damn! An existence akin to a world-class disaster!

Da Fei sighed, "I understand now, even goddesses would be jealous of you, huh."

So what now? Unable to upgrade, and with no wisdom, this is a real headache! Wait, wisdom, right? Go back and study with a get-together class!

While pondering, Pandora again asked, "Master, do you have any other questions? If not, Pandora requests a rest to conserve her soul energy."

Really? Asking for rest, not even able to study! How can I increase her wisdom?

Da Fei had no choice but to sigh, "Alright, no more questions, you rest!"

Pandora laughed, "Oh yes, Master, simply keeping the magic box on you allows Pandora to absorb experience while resting and level up. Well then, Master, goodbye!"

With that, the magic box flashed and Pandora’s form vanished.

Holding the magic box, Da Fei had a myriad of feelings and thoughts. Frankly, this lucky find happened far too easily, leaving Da Fei unprepared mentally, and how to cultivate this Pandora really leaves Da Fei at a loss. Pandora lacks wisdom, meaning she won’t be as smart as Anlicia, truly wanting her to comprehend Grandmaster-level skills or form professions might prove challenging.

This means, although her appearance is exceptionally stunning, realistically beating the unique qualities of Da Fei’s many beloved concubines might not be possible, serving mostly as an auxiliary role until reaching Master-level skills for now. Speaking of which, Pandora’s greatest feature and value is her ability to be traded and summon 108 Demon Stars, right? If she can be traded, why be stuck? Pass it to an alt for cultivation!

Right then, Da Fei’s cell phone ringtone chimed again — needless to say, it’s Little Li!

Da Fei raised an eyebrow, that’s right! Use it for Little Li! I’ll send it back through Lamp God Space right away! Wait, why send messages in the middle of the night?

Da Fei hurriedly removed the helmet and checked the message: "Brother, I just woke up and took over Little Fang’s shift, only now realizing there’s something big happening in Red Name Village, do you know that?"

Aye, pulling an all-nighter, huh. Da Fei replied, "I know, all the large guilds are supporting it."

"Good, just making sure everything’s alright."

Da Fei replied, "By the way, I’m sending you a divine artifact gift, keep silent, let me contact Sain first, when I’ve arranged it, you go and get it from him."

"Yay! Finally can have a divine artifact, then I’ll wait for your message."

"Alright, wait for it when I’m online."

Then it’s settled. Da Fei wore the helmet again, only to remember he had momentarily ignored the "Would you like to announce the rating results in the world announcement?" prompt.

Nothing to say, my perfect mythical clearance success will overshadow the Japanese players’ achievement, it can’t be hidden, so let’s announce it worldwide and piss them off! Plus, intimidate those foreigners doing stuff against me in Red Name Village. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, head over to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation or monthly votes.
