In every town, the first player to reach level 2 will unlock the town level leaderboard and gain 1 point of reputation.
The first to reach level 5 can activate the town teleportation array, also gaining 1 point of reputation.
However, right now, apart from Qin Feng reaching level 8, no other town has a player who has reached level 5!
A bunch of level 4 players are desperately grinding to reach level 5...
Only when someone in a town reaches level 5 and activates the teleportation array can the town connect with others.
And there's a rule.
Towns in the Jianghai City area can only connect with other towns in the Jianghai City area; they can't go to towns in other places...
At this moment!
On his way back to Shell Town, Qin Feng encountered Iron Man leading twenty-three underlings!
Qin Feng noticed that this group was quite alert, seemingly aware that he had area damage skills, so they didn't cluster together...
But with the Platinum-grade Ghost Ship Twin Blades in hand, even his normal attacks could take down a player in two hits!
He first found the perfect angle and executed a Shadow Blink Slash!
-1225!
-1219!
-1231!
...
Qin Feng transformed into a shadow, instantly passing through the crowd, leaving behind over a dozen damage numbers.
With just one Shadow Blink Slash, he had already wiped out more than ten people!
Then, Qin Feng didn't even bother to go into stealth, wielding the Ghost Ship Twin Blades at an incredible speed, transforming into a ghostly killer, charging at the remaining dozen or so people!
Iron Man and his men were all petrified on the spot!
"Hurry, take him down!"
"One guy taking on so many of us, is he dreaming?"
"Watch out for him going invisible!"
As they watched 'Shadow' appear, they all fought back.
But...
After retaliating, they quickly fell into despair!
In the Abandoned Gods Game, there's no such thing as attack locking.
Qin Feng's agility was far superior to theirs, perfectly dodging all control skills!
As for the attacks that did hit him...
They only dealt single-digit damage.
Many couldn't even break his defense!
Qin Feng's level was higher, his equipment better, especially the Gold-grade 'Ghostfire Leather Armor,' granting him overwhelming power against these players!
He immediately had Iron Man and his men crying for mercy!
"Damn, don't come over, don't come over..."
"He's too fast, and we can't hurt him, how do we even play this?!"
"Boss, please don't kill me, I have less than a year of lifespan left... Ah!"
...
Qin Feng had no intention of showing mercy.
"I originally wanted to take on the BOSS, got wiped by the BOSS, and didn't bother with you."
"But you kept causing trouble, and you expect me to let you go?"
Qin Feng's figure, like a ghost, moved through the dark forest!
In the end, he took down twenty-two people, including Iron Man.
When people scattered and fled, two managed to escape...
It wasn't that Qin Feng couldn't catch up.
But they split up, and those two were too far away, so Qin Feng didn't see the point in wasting time chasing them.
"Too bad, the lifespan these guys dropped only adds up to a little over thirty days..."
"So poor."
Qin Feng shook his head.
During the time he was taking down these people, he received a system notification...
Due to his excessive killing, he gained a layer of the 'Slayer' negative status.
At one layer of Slayer, 75% of current lifespan is lost upon death!
At two layers, 87.5% is lost!
In other words, each layer of Slayer status makes it as if the player dies an extra time upon death.
However...
Qin Feng had the Ghostfire Bell!
Even if he accidentally died once, he wouldn't lose any lifespan!
So, Qin Feng didn't care about the 'Slayer' negative status at all!
As long as it didn't reduce his attributes or affect his development, as long as he didn't die twice in a row, it had no impact on him...
Soon, Qin Feng returned to Shell Town!
His Ghostfire Leather Armor, with its black base and dark red flame patterns, was both stylish and menacing, drawing the attention of everyone around as soon as he returned to town.
"It's Shadow! Damn, that leather armor is so cool!"
"Is that Gold-grade armor? I'm so jealous, he really soloed the Gold BOSS!"
"Haha, I bet he exploited a bug to solo the BOSS..."
"Laughable, why don't you go exploit a bug for me?"
Amidst countless envious, jealous, and hateful gazes, Qin Feng arrived at the town's central square.
Suddenly, a group of people approached Qin Feng with extreme respect...
The leader was a pale-skinned, tall, and thin young man.
He was the one who, with his teammate who had the 'Spectral Eagle,' tried to steal the Golden Ghost Ship's loot, only to be instantly wiped out by Qin Feng!
"Brother Shadow, I'm really sorry."
The tall, thin young man lowered his posture as he approached Qin Feng: "Brother, this is an Assassin skill book we just pooled our lifespan to buy... Please accept it, and let's pretend nothing happened, okay?"
This situation surprised Qin Feng a bit.
He glanced at the skill book handed over by the other party.
——
[Piercing Strike (Common): Assassin skill book. Single-target skill, adds 20 attack points on hit, and causes a 2-second stun. 22-second cooldown.]
——
It was a control-type skill book.
If someone offers you something, why not take it?
Qin Feng casually accepted the skill book and said indifferently, "Alright."
With the skill book in hand, he learned it immediately.
Then, Qin Feng waved them off and finally met up with the long-waiting girl, Lin Liyu...
However, Qin Feng didn't know.
The tall, thin young man, codenamed 'Xian Yun,' watched his departing figure with a sinister look in his eyes.
"So what if you're strong in the Abandoned Gods Game?"
"As long as I find you in reality, I can imprison you and make you a slave to collect lifespan for me!"
"Once other towns activate their teleportation arrays, send a woman over to find out his information."
Xian Yun, whose real name was Dongfang Xian, was a well-known second-generation wealthy in the Jianghai City circle.
He sneered and thought:
"That Shadow's voice sounded unfamiliar."
"He's definitely not from the circle... which means he's a pauper."
"Send a professional beauty his way, and I bet he'll fall for it!"
...
Qin Feng met Lin Liyu.
The girl, dressed in a black mage robe, had eyes as lively as water, looking around nervously when she saw Qin Feng appear.
"For you."
Qin Feng casually tossed her a Gold-grade mage skill book and a Gold-grade mage equipment.
Lin Liyu was initially anxious, wondering if Qin Feng would tell her that the BOSS didn't drop any mage equipment...
But she reached out and caught two Gold-grade items!
A fire-type area damage skill, with an additional 150 attack points!
A magic necklace that added 15 points to spirit and 3 points of mana regeneration per second!
"Ah, this..."
Lin Liyu's mind went blank.
These two items were too amazing!
Now, she was about to soar!
