As the game time passed, the situation for many players in the initial towns became increasingly difficult.
Even in Shell Town, where thousands of playersgathered, many found themselves questioning their existence.
Qin Xiaoyou was one of them!
She resurrected somewhat dazedly in the town center, listening to the noisy discussions of theplayers around her...
"Damn it, I died again! Why are there so manybosses in this starting town?"
"Someone said that the wild monsters evolve byabsorbing our lifespan! They must have evolvedfrom small monsters, right?"
"Our team was about to kill a Silver-level BOSS, but then it turned around and ran away. Not only did it run, but it also brought two other Silver-levelBOSSES, wiping us out!"
"Please, is there any expert who can help? I onlyhave one day of lifespan left. If I die again, I'll really die, and I'm still 20 experience points short of leveling up..."
"Boss Wang, it's Iron Man here. Don't youremember me? I did some work for you... I'm out of lifespan now. I know you bought a lot of lifespan. Could you lend me a few days?"
"Recruiting an elite team! After midnight, let's teleport for free to the new town and kill some small monsters!"
...
In the town, players came and went.
Almost everyone looked dejected, their faces clouded with gloom!
There were many players in Shell Town, and many small monsters had been killed, but for some reason, a lot of Silver and even Gold-level BOSSES appeared!
These BOSSES...
Were simply not something ordinary players could handle!
Killing a Common Crawler granted three days of lifespan, making it seem like the game was gifting players with lifespan...
In reality.
Players died repeatedly, losing more than half of their originally non-tradable lifespan of decades!
Qin Xiaoyou was no different.
She had died again.
Her tradable lifespan was zero.
Her non-tradable lifespan was down to just two and a half years.
A few more deaths, and she would be close to real death!
With no other choice, she had just logged off once and found many of her former admirers on WeChat.
"What? I chased you before and you didn't agree, and now you want me to help you level up?"
"Help you level up? It's not impossible, but spend a night with me, and I'll help you for an hour. Come find me now, the address is..."
"Ridiculous, I'm a Platinum-level talent and I've already taken off! What woman can't I have in the future? Get lost!"
...
Those admirers either rejected her or even cursed her.
Or they didn't reply, seemingly still engrossed in the game.
This made Qin Xiaoyou question her life!
In fact, she had a hidden class and a Gold-level talent, so theoretically, surviving shouldn't be a problem.
But her skills were just too poor...
Apart from Qin Feng from her past life, who would want to team up with her?
In a regular online game, there would definitely be many admirers chasing after her to help.
But in this Abandoned Gods Game, which was linked to lifespan and could even extract abilities into reality!
Who would want to carry a burden?
So... Qin Xiaoyou realized that at such a critical life-and-death moment, she seemed to have no one to rely on!
Even Zhang Wei, who had previously helped her, had formed another team.
Even her bestie Chu Yan didn't want to die anymore and chose to log off first, waiting until after midnight to teleport to the town where her parents were, to safely find some small monsters to kill.
The wilderness outside Shell Town was no longer a place for ordinary people!
"Qin Feng..."
"How is he?"
At this point, Qin Xiaoyou finally remembered her brother.
"No matter what, he definitely won't abandon me."
"I'll go back and find him..."
With no other options, she looked at her remaining two and a half years of non-tradable lifespan and decided to return to their home at Mountain Sea Impression to find Qin Feng...
...
While most players were struggling.
Qin Feng was unstoppable.
In the 'Tomb of Resentment,' he fought his way deep into the tomb!
There were many small monsters in the tomb.
There were 'Skeleton Warriors' with only bones left.
There were 'Half-bodied Crawlers' with only half their bodies.
And 'Stitchers' made of pieced-together flesh.
Their levels ranged from 10 to 12.
Qin Feng slaughtered his way through, gaining experience rapidly!
Originally, leveling from 11 to 12 required more experience, but as long as there were enough small monsters, Qin Feng's leveling speed wouldn't slow down.
Moreover, he had learned the wide-area attack skill 'Night Ring Blade'!
Clearing small monsters became even faster!
Every time he entered a new tomb room, he would stealthily wield the Plague Blade and slash around...
The dark blade light spread from his body, instantly covering a 12-meter radius!
Those level 10-12 small monsters were instantly killed with one slash!
"Now, the progress should be about halfway..."
"Summon a Devout Believer to explore another path."
There were many forks in the tomb, most of which were dead ends.
Whenever he encountered such a situation, Qin Feng would let the Devout Believer take another path, and if they encountered small monsters, he would let the believer kill them!
Although the believer was only an 8th-level demon, it was still a Silver-tier summon.
It could easily kill some small monsters!
"At this rate, in about ten more minutes, I should be able to clear this tomb."
"Hopefully, there will be a Platinum BOSS at the end, so the treasure chest will be Platinum-tier..."
With anticipation, Qin Feng continued forward!
...
Meanwhile.
Outside Shell Town, about ten kilometers away.
A 'Demonic Muscle Crawler' that had evolved and strengthened into a Gold-level BOSS, a giant humanoid monster with bulging muscles crawling on all fours, was slashed by a sword aura and fell to the ground with a crash!
In front of the BOSS's corpse stood six figures.
It was Wang Meng, An Yu, and their group of six!
"No wonder Captain An is so powerful, the damage is incredible!"
Immediately, a young officer with a longbow on his back stepped forward with a flattering expression, complimenting An Yu.
His name was Ma Nailiang, and his father was a director in Jianghai City.
He had always been one of An Yu's admirers.
After the Abandoned Gods Game descended, Ma Nailiang chose a random class but didn't get a hidden class. Instead, he was randomly assigned as an 'Archer,' which frustrated him.
Learning that An Yu was a hidden class 'Dragon Swordsman,' Ma Nailiang became even more attentive than before.
Hearing the compliment, An Yu ignored him.
Instead, she said to Wang Meng, "This Gold BOSS was only level 8, and it still took us over ten minutes to kill. I really don't know how that expert killed a Platinum BOSS alone..."
Before Wang Meng could reply.
Ma Nailiang immediately said, "Just a sneaky Assassin, relying on stealthy tactics to wear down the BOSS, destined to never be on the big stage!"
An Yu didn't even turn her head, "You don't know anything."
Unconvinced, Ma Nailiang thought for a moment and said:
"I heard that the Magic City police have a 'Tracker' with a level 3 anti-stealth ability."
"In my opinion, we should set a trap to uncover Shadow's real-world identity and control him!"
"Such a person should be used by our officials to ensure peace of mind. Otherwise... incidents like Song Fei and Jiang Li will keep happening. Are we supposed to clean up after him every time?"
Hearing this.
An Yu frowned and glanced at him, "Are you mistaken? Right now, it's not him begging us to clean up after him, but us having to clean up after him to ensure our positions align with his, so we can cooperate!"
"Global Gold BOSS first kill, Platinum BOSS first kill, all solo! At this level, you don't try to win him over, you want to offend him? Has your brain been eaten by a Crawler?"
