Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, An Yu immediately responded, "Dark Moon Town."
She also sent a trade request to Qin Feng.
A free ten years of life? Why not take it...
Looking at the ten years of life An Yu offered, Qin Feng felt a bit emotional.
This girl is really sincere, isn't she?
Originally, with seven Gold-level BOSSes gathered together, Qin Feng could have taken them down and gained a lot of loot, selling it for four or fifty years' worth of life without any problem.
Yet this girl offered him ten years of life as a reward, how generous!
Of course, this ten years of life was likely the intention of the Jianghai City officials, who needed those seven Gold BOSSes eliminated.
Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for people from Dark Moon Town to level up outside.
"Alright, I'm off."
Qin Feng accepted the ten years of life, nodded at An Yu, then concealed himself and headed towards the center of the Jianghai City Ruins!
...
Under the dim sky, the Night Wolf carried Qin Feng, maintaining invisibility, and dashed forward at a terrifying speed of four to five hundred kilometers per hour!
A few minutes later, they arrived at the center of the Jianghai City Ruins.
At the very center stood the familiar eyeless stone giant statue, over ten meters tall.
Around the statue, many level 10 players from Jianghai City were forming teams, even groups, preparing to venture into the ruins to clear out monsters and level up...
This was the default respawn point for players above level 10, so naturally, there were many players.
Moreover, this place was a non-safe zone!
Many players eyed each other warily.
As Qin Feng passed by, he saw the group from the 'Knight's Sanctuary' guild that he had previously defeated...
Among the crowd, he indeed spotted that familiar figure.
Qin Xiaoyou had joined the 'Knight's Sanctuary.'
After being defeated and returning, she now looked worried.
Unfortunately, Qin Feng didn't even spare her a glance.
He merely glanced at the group and passed by invisibly.
"Teleporting back to town from the city ruins costs 500 days the first time, 1,000 days the second time, 2,000 days the third time... each time the cost doubles!"
"After ten times, it becomes 1,024 times... so unless absolutely necessary, you really can't go back."
That's why Qin Feng hadn't returned before.
He knew very well that as time passed, many low-level monsters in the initial town would evolve into BOSSes, increasing the number of BOSSes.
If he went back and randomly killed those BOSSes, he might earn Evolution Points faster.
But it's unnecessary!
Because...
If he kept returning to town early on, later when he truly needed to go back, it might cost tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of days of life!
In the initial town, sometimes truly valuable, irreplaceable items would appear.
Like this time, the potentially existing Ancient GodSlate!
"Evolution Points, I can farm them on the continent too."
"But items like the Ancient God Slate, once they appear, cannot be missed."
To save the life cost of teleporting back to town, Qin Feng would only consider returning to the starter town at such times.
"Moreover, in the Abandoned Gods Game, killing monsters more than 5 levels below oneself results in reduced experience and life gain."
"As for Evolution Points..."
"Previously, I casually killed some monsters more than 5 levels below me and never received any Evolution Points."
"It seems that if the monster's level is too low, the Evolution Points given also decrease."
Under such circumstances, Qin Feng had even less reason to return to the starter town to farmmonsters.
"Dark Moon Town."
"This is a town that appears later in the game, right?"
Qin Feng had no impression of this town.
Soon he followed the stairs to the underground teleportation array, stood in it, and entered the words 'Dark Moon' in the dialog box that popped up.
Consuming 500 days of life, he teleported!
After a flash of white light, Qin Feng appeared in 'Dark Moon Town.'
As he walked out of the teleportation room, he found the town bustling with people.
There were Jianghai City officials setting up stalls, buying life at a 1:50,000 ratio.
Other corporate forces were also buying life, with similar ratios.
Players were seeking to form teams.
Players were begging.
Players were arguing.
The entire safe zone of the town was bustling with activity.
There were even some charitable organizations helping elderly players with weak combat abilities level up to level 3, allowing them to log off and avoid starving or dying of thirst trapped in the game...
Of course, these organizations didn't offer free services.
"Granny, as per our agreement, we've helped you reach level 3."
"During the leveling process, you gained 72 days of life, please trade it to us now."
A few young people were escorting an old woman back from outside the town.
Once the old woman returned to the safe zone, she breathed a sigh of relief and then started cursing, "I don't know what nonsense agreement you're talking about. Aren't you a charity organization helping us level up? And now you're asking an old woman like me for money, shameless!"
With that, the old woman logged off on the spot!
Leaving the young people who had escorted her dumbfounded!
"We helped her reach level 3, and not only did she not give us the life as agreed, but she also cursed us?"
"This old hag acted all kind and friendly, then turned around and denied everything?"
"In the future, we should find out their real-world addresses, and if they don't pay, we'll go and break their piggy banks..."
72 days of life, at the current ratio, was 3.6 million in cash!
It's not surprising that someone would default, but now cash's purchasing power was nothing like before...
...
Naturally, Qin Feng couldn't be bothered with them.
The arrival of the Abandoned Gods Game had completely changed the way everyone lived worldwide.
All sorts of absurd things were bound to happen...
Qin Feng glanced at the coordinates An Yu had sent him, remained invisible, mounted the Night Wolf, and dashed like the wind towards the north of the town!
Meanwhile.
Just north of Dark Moon Town.
Qin Xiaoyou's best friend, the short-haired girl Chu Yan, was with three companions, including her father and mother, cautiously searching for monsters by a river!
Chu Yan and her companions were members of the charity organization 'Dream Sand River.'
"Chu Yan, did Xiaoyou really join the Knight's Sanctuary guild? I heard that guild has high taxes on its members..."
In the team, a girl with glasses asked worriedly.
She was also in the same dormitory as Chu Yan and Qin Xiaoyou.
Hearing this, the short-haired beauty Chu Yan sighed, "Yes... I asked her to join Dream Sand River with us, but she refused. However, she's already level 10 now, thanks to the people from Knight's Sanctuary."
Upon hearing this, a young man in the team sneered.
