- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 67
As game time continued to pass, things were becoming increasingly difficult for many players in the starting towns.
Even in Shell Town, where thousands of players had gathered, many were beginning to question their decisions.
Qin Xiaoyou was among them!
She had just respawned at the town’s center, feeling disoriented as she listened to the chaotic conversations around her…
“Dammit, I died again! Why are there so many bosses in this starting town?”
“I heard that the monsters absorb our lifespan and evolve! They must be mutated from regular mobs!”
“Our team almost killed a silver-level boss, but then the boss ran away, and if that wasn’t bad enough, it brought two more silver-level bosses with it, and we got wiped out!”
“Please, can someone help me? I only have one day of lifespan left. If I die again, I’m done for. I only need 20 more experience points to level up…”
“Boss Wang, it’s me, Iron Man! Don’t you remember? I’ve done work for you before. I know you’ve stockpiled a lot of lifespan, could you lend me a few days?”
“Recruiting an elite team! Free transport to the next town after midnight, let’s farm some mobs together!”
…
The town was bustling with players coming and going, but nearly everyone wore expressions of defeat and despair!
Despite the large number of players in Shell Town, many of the small monsters had been killed, but for some reason, more silver and even gold-level bosses had appeared!
These bosses…
Were not something the average player could handle!
Killing a regular crawler would net 3 days of lifespan, making it seem like the game was rewarding players with lifespan…
In reality, however, players were dying repeatedly, losing most of their original lifespan, which they couldn’t trade.
Qin Xiaoyou was no exception.
She had died again.
Her tradable lifespan was now zero.
Her non-tradable lifespan had dwindled to just two and a half years.
If she died a few more times, she’d be close to death!
With no other choice, she had logged out briefly and reached out to some of her old admirers on WeChat.
“What? I pursued you before, and you didn’t accept, but now you want me to help you level up?”
“Help you level up? Sure, I’ll do it, but only if you spend the night with me. Come find me; here’s my address…”
“Are you kidding me? I’ve got platinum-tier talents now, I’ve already made it! Why would I need you? Get lost!”
…
Some of her admirers rejected her outright, even cursing her.
Others didn’t respond at all, likely still engrossed in the game.
This left Qin Xiaoyou questioning everything.
In reality, she had a hidden class and a gold-tier talent, so she shouldn’t have had much trouble surviving.
But her skills were just too terrible…
Aside from Qin Feng helping her out in the past, who else would want to team up with her?
In a typical online game, she would have had plenty of admirers begging to help her.
But this was **Godforsaken**, a game linked to lifespan, where abilities could even be brought into the real world!
Who would want to carry dead weight?
Thus, Qin Xiaoyou realized that when faced with a life-and-death situation, there wasn’t a single person she could truly rely on!
Even Zhang Wei, who had been helping her before, had formed his own team.
And even her best friend, Chu Yan, had decided she didn’t want to risk dying anymore. Chu Yan had logged off, waiting for the midnight transport to the town where her parents were, planning to hunt small monsters there safely.
The wild areas outside of Shell Town were no place for ordinary people!
“Qin Feng…”
“I wonder how he’s doing?”
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyou finally thought of her brother.
“No matter what, he wouldn’t abandon me.”
“I should go find him…”
With no other options left, and with only two and a half years of non-tradable lifespan remaining, she decided to head home to **Shanshui Impression** to find Qin Feng…
…
While most players were struggling through hardship, Qin Feng was advancing rapidly.
Deep within the **Tomb of Resentment**, he pressed on, cutting through to the depths of the tomb!
The tomb was filled with many small monsters.
There were **Skeletal Warriors**, with only bones remaining.
There were **Half-body Crawlers**, dragging themselves along the ground.
There were also **Stitchers**, grotesque creatures made from stitched-together flesh.
They were all between levels 10 and 12.
As Qin Feng fought his way through, his experience points skyrocketed!
Leveling up from 11 to 12 required more experience, but as long as there were enough monsters, Qin Feng’s leveling speed didn’t slow.
Especially now that he had learned the area-of-effect attack skill **Flaming Whirlwind**!
His speed in clearing the small monsters increased drastically!
Every time he entered a new chamber in the tomb, he would activate **Stealth**, wield the **Plague Blade**, and unleash a single strike around him…
The fiery blade arcs would extend outward from him, instantly covering a 12-meter radius!
The level 10 to 12 monsters stood no chance, falling in a single blow!
“I’m about halfway through now…”
“Let’s summon a **Faithful Follower** to explore one of the other routes.”
The tomb had many branching paths, most of which were dead ends.
Whenever this happened, Qin Feng would send a **Faithful Follower** down the other path, and it would eliminate any monsters it encountered!
Even though the **Faithful Follower** was only level 8, it was still a silver-tier summoned creature.
It could easily take out small monsters!
“At this rate, I’ll clear the tomb in about ten minutes.”
“Let’s hope there’s a platinum-tier boss at the end; then the treasure chest will also be platinum-tier…”
With that thought, Qin Feng eagerly pressed forward!
…
Meanwhile, about ten kilometers outside of Shell Town…
A **Devil Muscle Crawler**, which had evolved into a gold-tier boss, lay slain on the ground. Its grotesque, hulking body—composed of rippling muscles—collapsed with a heavy thud.
Standing over the boss’s body were six figures.
It was Wang Meng, An Yu, and their team!
“As expected of Captain An. That was some impressive damage!”
A young officer with a longbow slung across his back stepped forward eagerly, flattering An Yu with a smile.
His name was Ma Nailiang, and his father was a director in Jianghai City.
He had always been an admirer of An Yu.
After the **Godforsaken Game** began, Ma Nailiang had been randomly assigned the **Archer** class, leaving him frustrated since he hadn’t received a hidden class.
When he learned that An Yu had the hidden class **Dragon Swordsman**, Ma Nailiang became even more eager to please her.
But An Yu paid him no mind.
Instead, she turned to Wang Meng and said, “This was just an 8th-level gold-tier boss, and it still took us over ten minutes to kill. I can’t imagine how the big boss managed to solo a platinum-tier boss…”
Before Wang Meng could respond, Ma Nailiang quickly added, “He’s just a sneaky assassin! All he does is whittle the boss down slowly from the shadows. People like that will never make it big!”
Without turning her head, An Yu snapped, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ma Nailiang, unwilling to back down, thought for a moment and then said:
“I heard that the police in Modu have a **Hunter** with level 3 stealth detection.”
“If you ask me, we should set a trap, figure out **Shadow’s** real-world identity, and take control of him!”
“Someone like him should be working for us, for the government. Otherwise, more incidents like Song Fei’s and Jiang Li’s will keep happening. Are we supposed to clean up after him every time?”
At these words, An Yu frowned and looked at him, saying, “You’re missing the point. It’s not him asking us to clean up his mess. It’s us doing so to ensure our interests align with his, so we can collaborate with him!”
“He’s the first in the world to solo a gold-tier boss, and then a platinum-tier boss too! People at his level—you either cooperate with them or avoid provoking them. Are you out of your mind?”
