In an instant, everyone gathered around.
Two priests quickly cast their skills, and the holy healing light shone on Late Night Drizzle's leg...
"Is that really necessary, Captain Lin?" the short-haired woman whispered, a bit concerned.
Late Night Drizzle shook her head, "We don't know what kind of person Shadow is... Better to be safe than sorry."
Hearing her words, the people around suddenly understood, though they felt a bit aggrieved.
They were official personnel!
And yet, they had to be so cautious with a civilian expert?
But they had no choice.
Everyone knew Shadow's strength now, and no one wanted to become his enemy without reason!
...
In the darkness.
Qin Feng disassembled all the bodies on the yacht before turning to leave.
He suddenly heard gunshots and turned back to see Late Night Drizzle shooting herself, which surprised him a bit.
Although priests could extract healing spells into reality, reality wasn't like a game where a few healing spells could restore full health...
The leg wound from five consecutive shots would take until dawn to heal.
Though much better than previous medical methods, it would still delay her time for grinding levels in the game.
Because...
Injuries in reality would significantly reduce her character's attributes in the game.
"Late Night Drizzle, real name Lin Qingyue, was a leading figure in the Magic Metropolis in the previous life..."
"To avoid becoming my enemy, she shot herself five times. She really went all out."
Qin Feng smiled faintly.
He didn't make a sound, riding the ghost wolf, silently leaving the sea area.
With this matter settled, he gained a total of 659 years of tradable lifespan!
Most of it came from Qian Shishi.
It's worth noting that the last time Qin Feng extracted abilities, he only used a little over four hundred years of lifespan, which shows how powerful the capital behind Qian Shishi was...
"Finally, I can fully synchronize my in-game abilities with reality."
"Besides..."
"The Jianghai City officials should have already discussed the price for the hideout, right?"
Qin Feng had already decided on the location to extract the 'Land of Purification' hideout, just waiting to trade with the Jianghai City officials.
At this moment, he left the Magic City port.
He casually found a corner in the bustling city, activated 'Silent Concealment,' and returned to the game!
When he closed his eyes, he first arrived in a dark space.
This space was the 'interlayer' between reality and the game.
Whether logging in or out, one had to pass through this space.
And it was in this space that he could consume lifespan to extract various in-game abilities into reality.
"Level, synchronize!"
"Skills, synchronize!"
Qin Feng extracted all his levels and skills, making his combat power in reality, aside from equipment, completely consistent with the game!
Synchronizing his level from 13 to 15 consumed 41.1 years.
Extracting 'Darkest Hour (blinding skill)' consumed 34.65 years.
Extracting 'Depths of Darkness (passive stealth level boost)' consumed 73.81 years.
A total of 149.6 years spent!
"509 years of tradable lifespan remaining."
"As for equipment, let's extract an Agility Ring."
The Agility Ring, a platinum-level assassin accessory, could increase movement speed and was useful in reality as well.
It cost 15.5 years of lifespan!
As for other equipment, there's no need to extract them for now since they aren't useful. He'll extract higher-grade, more useful equipment later when he acquires them.
Finally, with 493.5 years of lifespan remaining, Qin Feng returned to the Abandoned Gods Game!
He appeared in the Magic Metropolis Ruins, inside the Evil Spirit Academy.
Just as he logged in, a private message lit up.
It was An Yu.
Justice Executor: "Master, the price has been discussed. Shall we negotiate?"
She didn't mention anything about what happened in the Magic Metropolis.
Qin Feng didn't say anything else, just replied, "Sure, what's the price?"
An Yu tentatively asked, "Fifteen hundred?"
Fifteen hundred years, based on the current acquisition ratio, the officials would have to pay three to five hundred billion in cash to acquire it.
Moreover...
Lifespan was becoming harder to acquire now.
Because people weren't fools, seeing the price of lifespan rising, no one would choose to sell it all at this time.
Most were only selling a little to meet their real-life needs.
The key point was, now many properties and such weren't sold for cash anymore; they directly required lifespan for transactions...
When Qin Feng heard An Yu's offer, he immediately replied, "Too low."
An Yu wasn't disappointed to hear Qin Feng's rejection; instead, she smiled, "I knew it, the price was definitely too low. How about two thousand years? The task they gave me was to close the deal within two thousand... That's the highest price we can offer."
Hearing this, Qin Feng rubbed his forehead.
Jumping from fifteen hundred directly to two thousand?
If the officials knew how this girl was negotiating with him, they'd probably be furious...
"Alright. But I have to return from the Magic Metropolis Ruins, and you'll have to reimburse the round-trip cost, totaling six years."
Six years wasn't a small amount, even for Qin Feng.
"No problem~"
An Yu quickly sighed, "It's a pity I'm not level 15 yet, otherwise I'd definitely deliver it to the master myself..."
Hearing this, Qin Feng was puzzled.
Girl, is that how you use the term 'deliver'?!
...
Just as Qin Feng rode the ghost wolf, preparing to head back to the Jianghai City Ruins...
In reality, on Blue Star.
In a top-tier villa area in the Magic Metropolis, in the basement.
"What? Didn't open fire?"
A middle-aged woman in a white mink coat, with a dignified and elegant demeanor, sat gracefully on a redwood chair, holding a curly-haired little poodle in her arms...
She maintained an elegant, high-class posture, but her expression gradually turned gloomy upon hearing the report from the phone.
Her name...
Dongfang Yue!
A member of the Dongfang family in Jianghai City!
However, she married into the Magic Metropolis and had been living there.
So, when the entire Dongfang family was uprooted by Qin Feng... this woman became the only one who got away!
Originally, Dongfang Yue thought that 'Shadow' killing officials and colluding with the Ace of Spades was a dead end.
Unexpectedly...
'Shadow' killed the Ace of Spades and even uncovered the official's mole!
In a way, he even helped the officials a great deal!
This made Dongfang Yue almost vomit blood.
"Ridiculous!"
"That lowlife killed our entire Dongfang clan, and we're just supposed to let it go?"
"These lowlifes, once they gain some power, become lawless... They should be suppressed early on!"
Though the noblewoman was furious, she maintained her dignified and elegant posture, only gripping the armrest of the redwood chair tighter...
At this moment, a young man holding a whip stepped out from the shadows ahead, retreating to her side.
The young man wore a white shirt, but both the shirt and the whip were stained with blood...
"Mother, I have a plan to kill Shadow."
The young man's lips curled slightly, his eyes hiding a twisted and evil smile.
