The young man's name was Chu Nantian.
He was the son of Dongfang Yue.
As a member of the Chu family, Chu Nantian had everything he wanted since childhood, but his parents' demands on him were extremely strict.
And the Chu family...
Was one of the top families in the entire Magic City!
At this moment, the news about 'Shadow' was obtained by Dongfang Yue through her connections in the military.
"My personal suggestion is that you should take it easy regarding this Shadow, madam."
"The mainstream opinion on the military side is to win him over and cooperate. If we really become enemies with him, the consequences would be extremely severe, and no one could bear the responsibility..."
Listening to the serious voice on the other end of the phone, Dongfang Yue couldn't be bothered to listen and coldly hung up.
Then she looked up at her son Chu Nantian in front of her, smiling faintly as she asked, "Kill Shadow? What do you have in mind? You're not even old enough to enter the Abandoned Gods Game yet."
Chu Nantian behaved relatively normally in front of his mother.
He smiled and said, "Mom, even though I can't enter the game yet, I can still use my brain."
"Doesn't Shadow like killing? We can send some people to offend him, then arrange for those who offended him to work at Dad's fireworks factory, and prepare in advance..."
"When Shadow comes to kill, we'll blow up the entire fireworks factory!"
"By then, the thousands of fireworks will be Shadow's burial, letting the whole world witness his death!"
"Even if we fail, Shadow won't be able to trace it back to us!"
With this plan revealed, Dongfang Yue nodded in satisfaction.
She said with poise and calmness, "It seems our education for you has been quite good, but you shouldn't be involved in the follow-up of this matter."
She glanced at the blood-stained whip in Chu Nantian's hand and asked, "So, that lowlife still refuses to hand over her lifespan?"
Chu Nantian sneered, "She gave up a hundred days, but I suspect she still has more."
Dongfang Yue smiled faintly, "Not bad. I kindly offered to buy her lifespan, and not only did she refuse, but she also defied me... In that case, let her recognize her status as a lowlife."
"Go, Arthur, kill her. Remember, don't eat the meat. Eating lowlife meat will give you indigestion..."
The middle-aged noblewoman patted the curly-haired poodle in her arms, and the poodle, smelling the blood, ran into the shadows of the basement...
Soon, the sound of a woman's shrill screams echoed...
Unfortunately, her mouth was gagged, so the volume wasn't loud.
"I'm leaving now."
Amidst the suppressed whimpers and screams, Dongfang Yue stood up gracefully and elegantly, saying to her son, "Give Arthur a bath later."
"Okay, Mom."
Chu Nantian smiled.
To him, this era was truly the best of times.
Killing a few people casually wouldn't attract any attention!
The only regret he had was... he was only seventeen and couldn't enter the Abandoned Gods Game yet!
...
Land of Forsaken Gods.
Jianghai City Ruins!
Qin Feng, riding a ghost wolf, quickly spent 985 days of lifespan to teleport back from the Magic Metropolis Ruins.
The cost of teleportation between cities was fixed in terms of lifespan.
But this fee was extremely expensive...
Ordinary players would never be willing to spend so much lifespan on teleportation.
When Qin Feng returned, he found that the number of players in the Jianghai City Ruins was indeed much less than in the Magic Metropolis.
He didn't mind.
He opened a private chat window, confirmed a coordinate with An Yu, and headed over there.
This time, it wasn't just Wang Meng's team of six meeting up with Qin Feng.
It was an official team of 30 people!
An Yu, seeing Qin Feng, said a bit embarrassedly, "Master, don't mind... I have too much lifespan, and the higher-ups are worried."
"No problem."
Qin Feng naturally didn't mind.
Even if such a large group formed a team, if a fight broke out, Qin Feng could wipe out most of them with a single skill, easier than killing chickens...
Behind An Yu, many official players were a bit nervous seeing Qin Feng appear.
Especially some female players, who were a bit excited and even a bit admiring...
Unfortunately, Qin Feng only traded with An Yu and then left.
Having gained two thousand years of lifespan, he planned to extract the 'Land of Purification' into reality!
He found a place to log off.
Returned to the real Magic Metropolis.
The night grew deeper.
In the darkness, he rode the ghost wolf, stealthily arriving at a beach in the eastern part of the Magic Metropolis!
This place, after the 'Desolation Spread', was one of the few areas globally with the lowest pollution levels!
After the Desolation Spread, the higher the pollution level of an area, the faster people's lifespan would drain, with some severely polluted areas reaching tens of thousands of times!
It goes without saying...
The lower the pollution level, the more suitable it is as a place to live.
——
[Do you wish to consume 1315.2 years of lifespan to extract the 'Land of Purification (Hideout)' into reality?]
(Note: This hideout is an underground structure, please make a location on the map!)
——
With the system prompt, a 3D map appeared before Qin Feng, showing the area around him.
He extended his hand, and on his finger appeared the outline of the entire 'Land of Purification', covering an area of over a thousand acres!
He operated on the map and quickly confirmed the location.
——
[After extracting the hideout, all materials originally overlapping with the hideout will be obliterated... Confirm?]
[Yes/No]
——
Qin Feng didn't hesitate and directly chose 'Yes'.
The prompt meant that once he chose to extract the hideout here, all the original materials in this place would disappear.
Including optical cables, official roads, underground buildings, sand, clay... everything!
However, there weren't many modern facilities by this seaside.
In this initial chaotic period, it wouldn't attract too much attention.
As Qin Feng issued the command...
The entire beach area experienced a slight tremor, and then, on the sand in front of Qin Feng, a stone slab appeared.
"It's done."
Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction.
He stepped forward to move the stone slab, revealing a spiraling stone staircase leading downward.
The entire 'Land of Purification' hideout came with a magical defense barrier.
Even if it encountered a missile strike, there was no need to worry about it being destroyed.
"Let's go!"
Qin Feng descended the spiral staircase, then covered it with the stone slab.
As he walked, he took out several Books of Divine Bestowal.
"Let's start with two mechanical maids."
Qin Feng opened the 'Book of Divine Bestowal: Mechanical Maid'.
Some Books of Divine Bestowal could be used both inside and outside the game, but some could only be used outside the game... like this mechanical maid!

[Do you wish to consume 2.74 years of lifespan to create a Mechanical Maid (Basic Version)?]
(The Basic Version Mechanical Maid only has the cleaning function module. You can spend lifespan to unlock other functions of the mechanical maid!)
