As Qin Feng was checking his gains...
In the Jianghai City Ruins.
After the news of the 'Headless Assassin' being killed was confirmed, the players in the ruins finally dared to show themselves.
Even elite players like Wang Meng were drenched in sweat.
The players who survived by luck walked out of the ruins in small groups, each feeling like they had escaped death.
"Damn it, such an overpowered Platinum-level BOSS, and someone actually soloed it. Is that even human?"
"Shadow is amazing! If it weren't for him, who knows how many people in Jianghai City would have died!"
"Actually, the BOSS was only strong because of its invisibility. If we could see through it, we could have taken it down too!"
"That's hilarious, Mr. Big Talker, why didn't I see you stepping up earlier?"
"Well, I couldn't see through the BOSS's invisibility, could I?"
"Did you notice? Shadow was almost invisible the whole time and could see through the BOSS's invisibility. At least a level 4 anti-invisibility, right? How did he do it?"
"You're asking me? If I knew, would I be chatting with you here?"
...
There were many witnesses to this battle.
Initially, many people had no concept of 'Shadow's' strength.
Even though Qin Feng had publicly taken down the 'Steel Saintess', the impact couldn't compare to this time.
Because...
This 'Headless Assassin' had killed hundreds of players!
No player could stop this 'Headless Assassin'!
Such a terrifying BOSS, in front of Shadow, could only flee in panic, and was ultimately ruthlessly killed!
With this comparison, people truly realized the gap between them and 'Shadow'!
In the crowd, Wang Meng said bitterly in the team channel, "I originally thought that as long as we developed steadily, we could eventually catch up with the master. But now, I've completely lost confidence."
An Yu, wearing a set of Gold-tier armor with a Silver-tier longsword at her waist, smiled, "No way, no way, someone actually thought they could catch up with the master?"
Wang Meng covered his face, "Can't a person dream?"
On the other side.
After learning that the 'Headless Assassin' was taken down, Qin Xiaoyou hurriedly logged back in and sent a private message to the guild leader, Chen Wuming.
"What? You died again?"
"Need another ten days of lifespan?"
Chen Wuming was on the verge of collapse.
He originally recruited people to gather black slaves!
In fact, many guild members are now self-sufficient and generating income for the guild.
But this 'Xiaoyouya' is simply outrageous!
If it weren't for the contract signed upon joining the guild, which also binds the guild, Chen Wuming would have kicked her out long ago.
"How did I not see this coming, recruiting such a loss?"
"Only a god could carry someone this bad, right?"
"Knowing you're bad, can't you be a bit more timid?"
"Forget it, better build a hideout early, let her stay there and not come out, let her do some chores, make the most of it!"
Chen Wuming was on the verge of tears!
If he knew that in the previous life, Qin Feng had brought Qin Xiaoyou into the global top 100, he might have knelt on the spot...
...
More than ten minutes later.
In the Magic Metropolis Ruins, Evil Spirit Academy.
Qin Feng, riding a ghost wolf, returned here, this time heading towards the third underground level of the Evil Spirit Academy.
——
[Do you want to consume 2.74 years of lifespan (tradeable) to create the guild 'Shadow'?]
[Yes/No]
——
Qin Feng chose 'Yes'.
Creating a guild requires 1000 days of lifespan, which is 2.74 years.
Anyone can create one.
"Creating a guild consumes quite a bit."
"The guild name isn't taken, not bad."
With Qin Feng's command, he became the guild leader of 'Shadow'.
After establishing the guild, he could open the guild management interface, set the guild tax rate, and activate the 'guild chat channel'.
Of course, currently, the guild only had Qin Feng, and he didn't plan to recruit anyone.
He just intended to occupy a hideout in the name of the guild...
However.
When Qin Feng entered the first underground level of the Evil Spirit Academy, he found that the monsters along this path had been cleared!
"Could it be that the BOSS was also taken down?"
Qin Feng glanced around.
The Evil Spirit Academy area was still unclaimed territory, so the Platinum-level BOSS 'Mutated Witch' must still be there.
"Speed up."
Qin Feng advanced quickly, moving through the dimly lit academy basement.
This place, he hadn't visited in his previous life.
"The Evil Spirit Academy in the previous life was the hideout of the Sky Dome Guild."
"Even if guests visited, they could only stay in the academy hall, never reaching the core underground area."
"Could it be the Sky Dome Guild's team?"
Qin Feng followed the passage, delving into the second underground level, all the way to the deepest third underground level!
As soon as he descended to the third underground level, a wave of heat hit him.
Qin Feng discovered that the third underground level of the Evil Spirit Academy was filled with rivers of lava.
Ancient stone bridges spanned over ten meters above the lava rivers, leading step by step to the core of this area.
Qin Feng stepped onto the stone bridge, finding it protected by a magical defense barrier, making it immune to ordinary attacks.
He proceeded along the stone bridge.
In the distance, illuminated by the glow of the lava, he could see many players engaged in a fierce battle with a humanoid monster engulfed in flames.
Qin Feng maintained his invisibility, quietly advancing.
Soon, he reached the vicinity of the lava platform...
This rock platform above the lava, about the size of two basketball courts, had a Silver-tier mini-BOSS 'Flame Mummy' in the center, spewing fiery tongues of flame in all directions.
Around the Flame Mummy, eight or nine players were irritably besieging the BOSS.
"Damn it. We've been fighting this Silver mini-BOSS for ages, and who knows where that little girl ran off to."
"She should be ahead, I can see her even when she's invisible, she can't escape."
"This chick is so damn slippery, always slipping away."
"Haha, if killing her were that easy, why would the Chu family woman be so generous, offering us thirty years of lifespan?"
"Why call her a woman? Watch your mouth, she's the God of Wealth!"
"That's right, mind your words, don't offend her. I heard her family in Jianghai City, the Dongfang family, was wiped out by Shadow. If we provoke her, we're in trouble..."
"Stop the chatter, let's finish this BOSS and continue the chase. Be careful, that little girl has soul damage on her attacks, it's high, don't let her sneak up on you!"
...
Since these players weren't in the same team.
They were openly chatting.
And they never expected an invisible Qin Feng nearby, listening to everything.
Of course, if it were someone else, these words wouldn't mean much.
But for Qin Feng, they revealed a lot of information!
"The Chu family woman? Her family in Jianghai... the Dongfang family?"
"Soul damage?"
In an instant, Qin Feng connected many things!
"Is it her?"
In the previous life, the 'Blade of the Underworld' that made countless people tremble, ranked in the global top ten, often called the number one assassin!
It's said that this player appeared to be a harmless Lolita, but was actually ruthless and extremely cruel.
Shortly after the Abandoned Gods Game descended, she single-handedly massacred and destroyed the entire Chu family in the Magic City!
Additionally...
"The Dongfang family still has someone alive, married into the Chu family in the Magic City?"
"No wonder I never heard of the Dongfang family in the previous life. Now it seems, they were probably wiped out by this girl too? But compared to the Chu family, the Dongfang family was insignificant, so I never heard of them..."
What an unexpected discovery!
