'I've given you praise, yet you're still headstrong. You're but a lowly Lifestyle player. If you don't agree with me today, then you can forget about doing business here in the future.' The lecherous man threatened in rage. He blocked Violet Cloud's path, staring at her snow-white neck and licking his lips.
'How could you act in such a way? You are simply shameless!' Violet Cloud's eyes were filled with anger. However, she could not win against him in a fight. If she were to continue wasting time here, even her final hope would be gone.
'Hehe, I am shameless. What are you going to do about it? Bite me?' The man felt even better when he looked at Violet Cloud's panicked expression.
Watching Violet Cloud trying to hold back from crying and the tears that were rolling about in her eyes, she became even more lovable.
'Uncle, please give way. I want a thousand cups of Fruit Juice.' Shi Feng used Observing Eyes on the lecherous man. His name was displayed as Drifting Blood, and he was currently Level 3. At this stage of the game, his level was considered relatively good.
Drifting Blood turned towards Shi Feng, sending him a glare, saying, 'Brat, this girl is mine. If you don't wish for something to happen to you, then scram. You want a thousand cups? Then I want ten thousand cups. Do you think you're a tycoon capable of simply taking out 10 Silver Coins? If you continue competing with me like a fool, I'll send you back to Level 0.'
If fighting were not prohibited within the Town, he would have long since gotten rid of Shi Feng.
'Hahaha! An amusing show this early in the day. Go for it! Don't hold back! Don't argue if you can fight!'
'What a tycoon, spending 10 Silver Coins just like that. Unfortunately for him, he's angered Fatty Bear of [Martial Union]. There's going to be an amusing show to watch.'
'Dog's fart tycoon; I bet he's just boasting to impress the girl. If he can really bring out 10 Silver Coins, I'll live-stream myself eating shit.'
Quite a few busybodies stopped to watch the occurring scene. They all started a discussion about Shi Feng's actions.
Shi Feng did not pay any attention to Drifting Blood at all. He grabbed Drifting Blood's shoulder, applying a slight force.
Before Drifting Blood could react, he was already kneeling on the ground. No matter how much strength he used, even to the point where his face had turned beet-red, he still could not stand back up.
The surrounding onlookers were immediately dumbfounded.
Shi Feng was just too courageous, directly taking action within the premises of Red Leaf Town. Was he not afraid of being caught and jailed by the Guards?
Also, how did Shi Feng possess such immense strength? He had actually suppressed a Level 3 Guardian Knight with a single hand.
'Brat, you're dead for sure. Just you wait till the Guards arrive,' Drifting Blood looked towards Shi Feng, smiling in disdain.
However, after waiting for some time, the Guards had still not shown up...
Shi Feng paid no attention to Drifting Blood as he firmly pressed him onto the ground, preventing him from even moving. Shi Feng looked towards Violet Cloud, his other hand holding out 10 Silver Coins, saying, 'A thousand Fruit Juices, thank you.'
The players on the street, who were previously discussing amongst themselves, suddenly turned silent, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
This was 10 Silver Coins, not 10 Copper Coins. Currently, they had felt extremely wealthy to even have a single Silver Coin on their person. On the other hand, Shi Feng had just simply taken out 10 Silver Coins. How rich was Shi Feng? Was he really a Brother Tycoon?
Violet Cloud rubbed her eyes. She looked at the 10 Coins in Shi Feng's hand that gave off a silvery glow, her expression filled with incomparable shock. Originally, she thought Shi Feng was just trying to help her by saying so. Never would she have imagined that he would truly take out 10 Silver Coins to buy a thousand cups of cold beverages that nobody wanted.
Drifting Blood was similarly shocked. However, that shock quickly turned into greed. He thought about snatching the 10 Silver Coins and using them to buy a Glimmer Chestplate. There would even be leftovers remaining.
'Brat, I'm a member of Martial Union. If you don't want to be killed back to Level 0, then immediately give me 20 Silvers. If you do so, I can consider letting you off this time. Otherwise, you'll have to take responsibility for the consequences,' Drifting Blood's gaze was affixed to the 10 Silver coins as he threatened in a chilling tone.
Paying no attention to Drifting Blood, Shi Feng looked at Violet Cloud. Seeing that the girl did not react, he asked, 'Do you not have that much Fruit Juice?'
'En. I only have 156 cups of Fruit Juice with me. How about you give me a Silver Coin, and I'll sell all of the Fruit Juice to you? Is that alright?' Violet Cloud worried that she would anger Shi Feng. What would she do if he suddenly decided not to buy? At the same time, she also wanted to thank Shi Feng for helping her, so she reduced her selling price.
'Alright. I wonder how long it would take for you to make 900 cups of Fruit Juice? I want all of them,' Shi Feng nodded after some thought, asking.
The surrounding players were all dumbfounded. What was he planning to do? Did this brat know the value of 10 Silver Coins? Did this brat truly fancy this young lady?
'I'm very slow at compounding Fruit Juice. If Sir is willing, I can be done in thirty hours.' Violet Cloud became extremely glad at Shi Feng's words. However, when she thought of her extremely slow speed, she worried that Shi Feng would no longer wish to buy them. So, she stretched out five fingers, hurriedly saying, 'How about this? I'll just charge you 5 Silver Coins for 900 cups.'

Chapter 60 - NPC?
Looking at Violet Cloud's panicked expression, Shi Feng could not help but break into a laugh.
'No need. I can still afford to pay such an amount of money. If you really sold them to me for 5 Silvers only, then you wouldn't be able to earn much.' Shi Feng waved his hand. Shi Feng was not in a hurry to turn Violet Cloud into one of his subordinates. However, he was absolutely not going to let her go. If Shi Feng acted too impatiently, he might cause her to grow suspicious of him. So, it was better to deepen their relationship first.
Nobody could have imagined that Violet Cloud, one of the top ten Clerics in God's Domain, would have such an appearance.
A Cleric God!
That was a genuine Tier 6 Job. After ten years passed, there were only a few who reached that standard. Even Fantasy Extinguisher was just a Spirit Saint, at the pinnacle of Tier 5 ten years later.
However, as a future Cleric God, Violet Cloud was actually a Lifestyle player during the initial periods of the game. It was such a waste of talent.
Normally in God's Domain, only players without any skills would earn money through methods other than killing monsters. However, the popular Auxiliary Jobs usually had very high requirements, such as a lot of funds, coupled with extremely low success rates. It was extremely hard for a player to survive in such a way without the support of a Guild.
Meanwhile, Auxiliary Jobs such as Chef was much easier. The cost to support it was also extremely low and players alone could be supported by it by themselves. If their talents were high, and they were capable of creating delicious cuisines, they could still earn quite a lot of money in God's Domain. However, delicious cuisines usually required Advanced Cooking Recipes and materials. These items were hard to obtain, so trying to earn a lot of money would not be easy.
It was truly hard to imagine that a future Cleric God would be such a clumsy young lady.
He recalled that Violet Cloud was one of the members of Ouroboros during her first three years in God's Domain. When the Snow Goddess left Ouroboros, Violet Cloud similarly left the Guild. From then on, she was just a solo player. When she had become a Tier 4 Great Cleric, countless first-rate Guilds tried recruiting her with shockingly high prices. Ouroboros also tried countless times to invite her back. Unfortunately, Violet Cloud did not pay attention to any of them.
Her actions greatly angered those first-rate Guilds. Since they could not obtain her, they would destroy her. Hence, they sent many experts to assassinate Violet Cloud.
Unfortunately, not only did Violet Cloud not get destroyed, instead, she became even stronger. She massacred the players sent by these Guilds, giving them a crushing defeat. Not long after, she advanced her Job to Tier 5, becoming a Brilliant Cleric Saint. This caused those first-rate Guilds to become even more helpless.
In the end, Violet Cloud became a Tier 6 Cleric God. At that time, she searched for all those first-rate Guilds to have her revenge. These Guilds could only pay the price of blood to quell this matter. From then on, Violet Cloud became one of the top ten Cleric Gods in the entire world. This incident caused the upper-echelons of Ouroboros to greatly regret not asking her to stay all those years ago.
As a result of this incident, everyone made fun of the inability of the upper-echelons of Ouroboros. Instead of utilizing those with potential, they were only using those boot-lickers whom they were fond of. In the end, they had missed the chance to become a Super-Guild.
However, Shi Feng could not find a Guild insignia on Violet Cloud's person right now.
In addition to Violet Cloud's current appearance, Shi Feng could guess Violet Cloud must have been discovered by the Snow Goddess later on, which in turn resulted in Violet Cloud feeling indebted to the Snow Goddess. Hence, Violet Cloud left Ouroboros when the Snow Goddess stopped playing God's Domain.
Meanwhile, Violet Cloud currently had yet to meet the Snow Goddess. It was the perfect chance for Shi Feng to recruit her. Even if Violet Cloud was unskilled now, she had the potential to become a Cleric God. As long as she was properly nurtured, she would definitely be able to become a Cleric God in the future.
Violet Cloud was no idiot. When she heard Shi Feng saying so, she stared at Shi Feng in a panic, both her hands covering her poorly-developed chest as she retreated a step.
'Sir, aside from selling Fruit Juice, I won't be selling anything else. If you are regretting it now, you can take back your money.' Violet Cloud handed over the Silver Coins she had just received. However, her eyes still carried with them a hint of unwillingness as she did.
At her time of despair, a person suddenly emerged, saying that he wanted to purchase a thousand cups of Fruit Juice. Moreover, he was even willing to wait for thirty hours without reducing her pay. She would not believe Shi Feng had no ulterior motives, even if she were beaten to death.
Forget Violet Cloud; even the surrounding players would not believe it. If Shi Feng did not have any ulterior motives, why would he save her? He even spent 10 Silver Coins to buy those unwanted beverages.
Shi Feng looked at Violet Cloud's vigilant expression and actions. He then looked towards her smooth flat chest, suddenly laughing, 'You're overthinking things. I really have no interest towards your flatlands. I'm only buying this many because I just happened to have a use for Fruit Juice. If you don't wish to sell them to me, then so be it. I'll just find someone else to buy them from.'
Saying so, Shi Feng released Drifting Blood as he turned away and left.
However, Drifting Blood was not willing to let Shi Feng go. Shi Feng publicly humiliated him by forcing him to kneel with just a single hand. Moreover, when has Martial Union been afraid of anyone?
Since the Guards didn't seem to be paying attention, it would be extremely easy to get rid of Shi Feng.
Thinking so, Drifting Blood pulled out a weapon and used Charge at Shi Feng.
With his sensitive five senses, Shi Feng naturally knew of Drifting Blood's actions. Shi Feng spun around to face him, pulling out the Abyssal Blade and using parry.
Dang! Drifting Blood's greatsword hacked at Shi Feng's sword. Instead of hurting Shi Feng however, Drifting Blood was knocked back by three yards. The durability of the greatsword in his hands instantly reduced by 2 points, and he looked at Shi Feng in shock.
He did not understand how a person like Shi Feng would have such great strength. Shi Feng was like a beast in human skin.
The surrounding players were similarly shocked. Drifting Blood was a Berserker, so he must have definitely added a lot of Strength points. He was also at Level 3, similar to Shi Feng; so how could the gap between them be so great?
These players did not know, however, that this was still only half of Shi Feng's real Strength.
After all, Shi Feng could obtain 6 Free Attribute Points for every increase to his level. It was 1.5 times that of an average player. Not to mention Shi Feng's body was protected by Bronze and Mysterious-Iron Equipment. There was even the powerful Magic Weapon. Even with just half of these aspects, Shi Feng's Strength far exceeded the average player.
If Shi Feng's Strength had not been reduced by half, just by activating the Strength Hidden Basic Skill and the Strength provided by the Magic Weapon, Shi Feng could destroy that basic greatsword without a problem.
