Seeing Tony and the other five teammates fall to the ground, Qian Shishi suddenly felt a bit parched.
She almost thought she was done for too.
But soon she realized that 'Shadow' hadn't killed her.
When the bodies of Tony and the others hit the ground, releasing a small amount of lifespan, Qin Feng's invisible form reappeared before her.
Qian Shishi was initially a bit nervous, even subconsciously taking two steps back.
But quickly, a smile returned to her face, and she looked at Qin Feng with a gaze filled with admiration and an inexplicable smile.
"So handsome."
"Too bad he's a bumpkin from Great Xia, can't even understand English."
"Otherwise, he'd be qualified to be my lifelong partner..."
She thought to herself.
But she didn't know...
How many foreign players had Qin Feng interacted with in his nine years of the previous life?
Even if he didn't know originally, he would have learned in such an environment.
Moreover, as the 'spirit' attribute of real-world players increases, their memory and thinking speed improve, making it easy to learn a foreign language later on...
So, it wasn't that Qin Feng couldn't understand English.
He was just simply and bluntly telling her: stay away!
At this moment.
Qian Shishi, seeing 'Shadow' reappear in front of her, felt a bit nervous and scared.
But also faintly excited.
This 'Shadow' was so powerful!
If she could control him, what heights could she reach in this era?
Thinking of this, Qian Shishi didn't hesitate and directly initiated a trade request with Qin Feng!
Originally, the final payment for assassinating 'Qin Feng' was 1,500 days of lifespan.
But Qian Shishi directly offered 10 years, more than doubling it!
"This is the final payment... You did a great job, and there's extra reward."
Even though 'Shadow' had taken out Tony and the others.
She had no intention of blaming him.
With Shadow's strength, could she really demand an apology? It was unrealistic!
So there was no need to dwell on it, just pretend it never happened!
After receiving the lifespan, Qin Feng just nodded slightly and turned to leave.
He didn't propose meeting Qian Shishi first.
Otherwise, this woman might start suspecting this and that.
He was waiting for her to propose it!
Sure enough, seeing 'Shadow' about to leave, Qian Shishi didn't doubt him anymore.
She immediately spoke up, "Wait a moment..."
Originally, Qian Shishi was cautious, worried that Shadow might come to kill her and take her lifespan, so she didn't plan to meet Shadow in reality.
But now, Shadow came to see her, took out twelve official players, and then was about to leave after taking the final payment!
Clearly, Shadow didn't care about her at all!
Just treated her as an employer.
So, Qian Shishi felt relieved.
She called out to Qin Feng, "You have the strength, I have the money, can we work together long-term? I have a new assassination target, if you're interested, how about coming to the party I'm hosting tonight?"
"Whatever you need, women? Good wine? Just let me know, I'll prepare it for you in advance!"
Here it comes.
Qin Feng sneered inwardly.
This woman couldn't hold back after all.
If he really believed her words and thought he was going to enjoy himself, he might not even know how he died...
If she didn't have any designs on Qin Feng, why would she want to meet him in reality?
However, Qin Feng didn't plan to have any deep interactions with her.
As long as they met, he would just take her out directly!
So Qin Feng pretended to think for a moment and asked, "Who is the target? What's the reward?"
Qian Shishi smiled and said, "I can't show you the photo here, let's discuss it in person? As for the reward, I can only tell you it will be several times more generous than this time..."
"Alright."
Qin Feng said in a deep voice, "Time and place. I might not be available."
Qian Shishi giggled, "Let's add each other as friends first. Time and place, whenever you're available, it's up to you."
It was clear that Qian Shishi valued 'Shadow' a lot.
Since that was the case, Qin Feng didn't bother to say much and straightforwardly said, "Then now. Once you're ready, tell me the location."
"Okay, I won't keep you waiting!"
After saying this, Qian Shishi went offline.
...
Qin Feng didn't idle around.
After Qian Shishi went offline, he started grinding in the Evil Spirit Academy.
The monsters in this Evil Spirit Academy were all ghost-type creatures immune to physical attacks.
'Lonely Wanderer', 'Pale Ghost', 'Soul of the Apprentice'...
But for Qin Feng, these monsters were just as easy to kill.
Because the 'Night Ring Blade' dealt dark elemental damage!
For these level 13-15 monsters, a single hit could take them out completely.
Meanwhile, as Qin Feng waited.
In a Gold-level hideout in the Magic Metropolis Ruins.
The twelve official players, codenamed 'Tian Xingjian', revived there.
Once they obtained access and bound the hideout, their respawn point would transfer there.
These twelve official players, after being taken out by 'Shadow', looked quite grim upon revival.
Being killed wasn't a big deal.
After all, in this Abandoned Gods Game, death was all too common.
But the key was...
They learned from the system prompt that the player who suddenly killed them was codenamed 'Shadow'!
"Is Shadow against us officials?"
"Is he in cahoots with 'Ace of Spades'?"
This was the instinctive thought of these officials!
Among them, only the captain 'Tian Xingjian', named Qiu Haonan, wasn't shocked but rather relieved.
"Not bad."
"Looks like Shadow has teamed up with the young lady..."
"This way, I can also rise with the tide."
"I lost over seven years of lifespan this time, I'll get it back from the young lady later..."
This middle-aged man with a square face, who appeared righteous, thought calmly.
But outwardly, he looked very shocked and serious.
He glanced around and said to everyone, "I'll contact Jianghai City now and have them ask Shadow what's going on... Qingyue, take everyone to claim their lifespan, we might have more actions later."
"Okay."
A single ponytail woman, with the game codename 'Late Night Drizzle', nodded calmly, waved her hand, and led the group away...
This official team was divided into two squads of twelve.
Six of them, led by 'Tian Xingjian' as the squad leader, had the class 'Investigator', capable of investigating corpses and tracking down culprits!
Due to this class, which was crucial for maintaining order in Great Xia, Tian Xingjian's status rose as well.
In the past two days, 'Tian Xingjian' was mostly being carried to level up, and his actual combat power in the game wasn't high, just slightly stronger than a Common Hunter class.
As for the other six, led by 'Late Night Drizzle' as the squad leader, their class was 'Demon Hunter'!
