"Good thing I have a skill list to choose from."
"Otherwise, this language of the ancient gods—I can understand a bit, hear a bit, but I can't speak it at all!"
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
After he chose to upgrade his skills, the Judgment Envoy, Asahis, bowed again and then took two steps back. Her graceful figure, wrapped in a white robe, gradually dissipated like starlight...
Once she disappeared, a white light converged in the cave where Qin Feng was, forming an oval-shaped portal.
Clearly, this was the exit.
Qin Feng glanced at the pale golden bell in his hand...
"Why does this bell look just like a Mount Bell?"
"Could it be used as a mount?"
"..."
Qin Feng shook his head, put it away into the 100-slot storage space provided by the 'Greedy Hand,' and then stepped into the portal.
It seemed like Qin Feng had gained quite an advantage.
But in fact, Qin Feng remained somewhat cautious about this 'Judgment Envoy.'
The NPCs in the Abandoned Gods Game can't be fully trusted!
They are not mechanized programs; they possess intelligence, can lie, and most of them prioritize their own interests!
In short, it's always wise to be cautious.
Of course, Qin Feng didn't need to be overly tense either.
"The Abandoned Gods Game has its own operational rules."
"Even true deities cannot interfere with the game's processes."
"So for now, there's no need to worry about what she might do to me..."
...
Outside the Jianghai City Ruins.
At the entrance to the temple maze below the cliff.
When Qin Feng stepped into the teleportation array and returned, he found Lin Liyu still there.
She had been sitting on a stone platform nearby.
Seeing Qin Feng appear, she immediately stood up happily, brushing the creases on her black mage robe as she approached him.
This surprised Qin Feng: "You didn't go to level up during this hour, just waited here for me?"
Lin Liyu smiled with pursed lips: "I had to guard the place for the big boss, in case someone ambushed you when you came out~"
"Thanks."
Qin Feng smiled and shook his head: "This skill book is for you, just happened to drop in the ruins."
He handed her a Platinum-level mage skill book.
It was a skill book for a magic shield, requiring level 13.
She couldn't learn it yet.
But once she reached level 13, learning this skill would greatly enhance her survivability.
Lin Liyu's eyes lit up: "A Platinum-level skill? Thank you, big boss~"
This girl didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the skill book with both hands...
For Qin Feng, the value of this skill book was just about ten years of tradeable lifespan.
Using these ten years to befriend Lin Liyu, the lucky charm beauty, was definitely worth it!
The key was to let her develop a mindset.
If there was any opportunity, invite Qin Feng over, and Qin Feng would end up giving her benefits.
This way, she would naturally bring more and more opportunities to him...
On the contrary.
If Qin Feng was stingy, why would she bring opportunities to him?
"Alright, everything's settled here, let's head back."
Qin Feng gestured towards the exit of the maze.
Lin Liyu nodded, leading the way out with Qin Feng following.
Soon, they reached the bottom of the cliff at the ruins' entrance.
Qin Feng first leaped onto the protruding stone slab with his agility of over three hundred points!
This made Lin Liyu marvel once again, a big boss is indeed a big boss!
When Qin Feng extended his hand to pull her up from the stone slab and bid her farewell, he logged off first.
The system prompted that Qin Feng's hunger level in reality had reached 90%, and he needed to return.
Only then did Lin Liyu open a private chat to report to An Yu: "Captain An, I did it. The big boss seems to have gained something and even gave me a Platinum-level skill book~"
An Yu eagerly asked: "How was it, how was it, when climbing the cliff, were you on top or was the big boss on top?"
Lin Liyu looked puzzled: "Huh? Does it make a difference?"
An Yu chuckled: "Of course it does, if you're on top, the big boss can look up and see something nice..."
Lin Liyu: "??? Captain An, maybe read fewer adult novels..."
...
Qin Feng returned to the Land of Purification extracted into reality!
When he came back, he found that the interior of the hideout had undergone a drastic change.
The various furniture, appliances, and a complete set of generator modules created through the 'Book of Divine Bestowal' had all been installed by the mechanical maids!
The central 'Great Hall of Purification' was a circular hall with a diameter of fifty meters.
The entire hall was now filled with modern lighting.
In the center was a large round table, surrounded by various coffee tables, cabinets, and bookshelves, all neatly arranged.
In a short time, those five mechanical maids had diligently turned this place into a cozy living space!
Of course, the generator modules created by the Book of Divine Bestowal were not perpetual motion machines and required Qin Feng to add raw materials regularly.
Qin Feng chose a magnetic energy generator module, which could extract magnetic ore from the Book of Divine Bestowal for power generation... This method was far superior to the current technology on Blue Star, with much higher efficiency.
On average, it only consumed about 10 hours of lifespan to power the entire Land of Purification for a whole month.
After returning, Qin Feng left the Great Hall of Purification.
He went to the dining room next door.
Sitting at the dining table, he took out the Book of Divine Bestowal and started ordering food.
Only now did Qin Feng's life settle down, and he could eat whatever he wanted, with great convenience!
And the prerequisite for all this was that Qin Feng had enough ability to earn sufficient lifespan from the Abandoned Gods Game!
"Although currently only the Great Hall ofPurification and a few small rooms around it are 'renovated,'"
"But since it's just me, it's more than enough."
Around all the hideouts extracted into reality, there were magical defense barriers that shielded against detection, capable of withstanding firepower attacks while preventing any detection methods from discovering the hideout's existence.
At least for now, the sense of security was maxed out!
Just as Qin Feng returned to reality and enjoyed his meal...
Inside the Jianghai City Ruins!
In the northwest area of the ruins.
At the entrance to the Land of Purification!
"Look, there's a staircase going down here!"
Qin Xiaoyou's excited voice echoed in the team channel.
She stood at the entrance staircase of the Land of Purification, her heart racing!
Now, all the guilds realized the importance of hideouts.
The Knight's Sanctuary was no exception.
Currently, most of the small monsters in the city ruins had been cleared by players, making it relatively safe, so Qin Xiaoyou was also sent out with a team to search for hideouts.
Finding a hideout would earn her a lifespan reward from the guild.
A Silver-tier hideout could earn her five hundred days of lifespan!
A Gold-tier hideout could earn her two thousand days of lifespan!
Qin Xiaoyou was so sick of eating instant noodles lately, but she had no money and no lifespan, practically broke and fed up.
Even the instant noodles were bought by her roommate and bestie, Chu Yan...
Now, seeing the mysterious dark staircase passage, Qin Xiaoyou was thrilled!
If this was a hideout, she could earn the guild's lifespan reward!
