Originally, Lin Liyu thought it would be great if Qin Feng could give her a Silver-level magic item or skill book.
But unexpectedly...
Two Gold-level items?
"This skill, this necklace..."
"They directly multiplied my damage several times, and my mana recovery more than doubled!"
Originally, Lin Liyu recovered 2 mana points per second.
Now, with the necklace, she recovers 5 points per second.
Her sustainability skyrocketed!
You could say her efficiency in clearing monsters is now faster than the entire team combined before!
"Thank you so much, you're amazing!"
Lin Liyu's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise, almost bringing her to tears.
Qin Feng shook his head, "No need to thank me, it's just as agreed. Hand over the Spatial Ring."
Besides, this girl was even chased by Iron Man and his gang for helping Qin Feng...
Though Qin Feng didn't really need her help.
But it was clear that this girl's character was good and worth befriending.
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Lin Liyu snapped back to reality and quickly handed over the 12-slot Spatial Ring.
"By the way,"
Lin Liyu thought for a moment and said, "While I was escaping through the woods, I found a hole that seemed like the entrance to a ruin. Are you interested?"
A ruin entrance?
Qin Feng was a bit surprised.
"There was a saying before that Lin Liyu was a lucky charm, and now it seems true?"
"First the Golden Ghost Ship, now a ruinentrance..."
Qin Feng looked at the pretty girl in front of him, feeling that befriending her was indeed worthwhile.
Of course.
Qin Feng thought, if he hadn't given her any equipment earlier, she might not have shared the ruin entrance information with him.
Sincerity is mutual.
"It seems just these two Gold-level items were enough to win her over?"
Qin Feng almost wanted to laugh.
He put the Spatial Ring on his left pinky finger.
"Finally, 27 slots of storage space."
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Abandoned Gods Game, backpack slots are extremely scarce, and the starting town doesn't have a place to store supplies.
With 27 slots, everything becomes more convenient.
Qin Feng said to Lin Liyu, "Your team leader hasn't logged in yet. I'll sell the items to you guys when he arrives. I'll check out the ruin you mentioned first."
The girl nodded, "Okay."
Lin Liyu was very excited now.
She took out a rolled-up parchment map from her backpack and marked a location for Qin Feng.
"This is the entrance to the ruin, a stone slab on the ground. I originally wanted to move the slab and hide inside, but after just a few steps in, I heard ghostly wails and got scared out... Otherwise, I wouldn't have been caught by Iron Man and his gang."
As Lin Liyu spoke, she described the entrance to Qin Feng.
"Got it."
Qin Feng memorized the location.
In fact, every starting town and its surrounding terrain are identical...
These newbie towns are completely replicated terrains.
However, ruins, Golden Ghost Ship bosses, and the like appear randomly; some towns have them, some don't.
In any case, the town Qin Feng was in during his previous life didn't have them.
Unexpectedly, Shell Town had both a ruin and a Golden Ghost Ship.
Qin Feng bid farewell to Lin Liyu.
He entered stealth mode and left Shell Town once again!
"I originally planned to find a place to grind to level 10."
"Since there's a ruin, there's no need to grind elsewhere. Clearing the ruin will definitely get me to level 10..."
The ruins that appear in starting towns mainly come in three types.
One is a [Tomb].
Another is a [Cursed Ruin].
And the last is a [Temple of Faith].
There's not much to say about the Tomb; it's filled with monsters, difficult to clear, and usually ends with a Gold-level boss.
The Cursed Ruin's monsters are all cursed by ancient or evil gods, possibly once humans, now turned into mad or undead creatures.
Monsters in the Temple of Faith are followers of ancient or evil gods, and you can choose to kill them or not, but the temple's map is very complex.
If you successfully clear the latter two, you can obtain special items or skill books.
For example...
Qin Feng's Ancient God's Eyeball, also known as the 'Eye of Judgment', actually came from a Temple of Faith.
Regardless of which type of ruin Lin Liyu mentioned, Qin Feng wouldn't miss it.
Because...
Even the smallest monsters in these ruins are at least Bronze-level, or even Silver-level!
For Qin Feng, this means a massive amount of Evolution Points!
"With my current Epic-level Greedy Hand, killing a Bronze mini-boss yields 8 Evolution Points."
"If it's a Silver-level boss, it yields 16 Evolution Points!"
Compared to killing high-tier bosses, defeating numerous mini-bosses clearly yields more Evolution Points!
Soon, Qin Feng, still in stealth mode, arrived at the location marked by Lin Liyu on the map.
Amidst the gray-black weeds, he indeed found a stone slab.
Qin Feng moved it aside, revealing a staircase leading downward.
Sure enough, as soon as the slab was moved, ghostly wails echoed from deep within the passage, mournful and haunting...
Qin Feng, of course, wasn't afraid.
He entered the passage and covered the slab.
The surroundings instantly turned pitch black, with only a faint yellowish light illuminating the stone walls of the passage.
By the dim light, Qin Feng's expression quickly changed.
"The murals on these walls... they're identical to those in the Temple of Faith from my previous life?"
"This is a Temple of Faith!"
"And it might just be the Temple of Faith of the Judgment Ancient God!"
Qin Feng possessed the 'Eye of Judgment', wielding the Judgment Authority.
The appearance of this temple here made Qin Feng feel... quite unusual!
"Let's go in and take a look."
Qin Feng took a deep breath, maintained his stealth, and proceeded down the passage!
...
Meanwhile, as Qin Feng explored this mysterious Temple of Faith.
Players in various starting towns were frantically leveling up.
Of course, in terms of gaining experience, they couldn't match Qin Feng, who was killing bosses in the ruins.
However, since others were at lower levels, they required less experience to level up.
Soon, someone reached level 5!
They activated the teleportation arrays in their respective towns!
Every player has one free teleportation opportunity per day to travel to other starting towns.
Thus...
Shell Town soon saw an influx of players from other towns!
Because the global first-kill of a Gold-level boss by the great 'Shadow' happened in Shell Town!
The town was getting more and more crowded!
