GTA Chapter 144

This entry is part 145 of 236 in the series Online Game: God Tier Assasin, I am The Shadow!

At that moment, Qin Feng leisurely collected the lifespan orbs scattered across the battlefield.

He couldn’t help but marvel at how much lifespan this group had!

Each person carried around 10 to 20 years, and together they dropped over 130 years of lifespan.

Qin Feng, ever meticulous, applied a Curse Flower to each body, harvesting an additional 130 years of tradable lifespan and 752 years of non-tradable lifespan.

“Still, none of these six were marked as Slayers,” Qin Feng noted, shaking his head.

No wonder the officials trusted them—Theodore and his team hadn’t caused trouble in Magic City. They maintained an air of politeness and gentlemanly behavior from start to finish.

Next, Qin Feng turned his attention to the platinum-level boss, Thousand-Blade Centipede, Moville, which had already lost 6% of its health.

Surrounding the boss were over twenty crimson centipede minions, now idle and glaring alongside their master due to the sudden absence of their previous opponents.

Still cloaked in stealth, Qin Feng moved like the wind, unleashing his Night Blade Ring.

Thanks to his rapid cooldown reduction, the skill, though just used to wipe out Theodore’s team, was already available again. The dark energy slashed through the air, slicing all twenty minions in half in an instant.

Clearing out the minions caused Qin Feng’s combo points to spike sharply. Without hesitation, he activated Shadow of Slaughter.

Three shadow clones materialized, surrounding Moville in an instant.

Crimson Blades!

Four crimson blades stabbed the boss from all directions simultaneously. Though the boss was near full health, rendering the execution effects of the attack ineffective, each blade dealt a staggering 295,000 damage, instantly killing the platinum-level boss.

Qin Feng wasn’t entirely sure if the boss had some hidden health-locking mechanic. Regardless, the result was the same: an effortless kill.

As Qin Feng used Greedy Hand to rummage through Moville’s grotesque upper-body corpse for loot, a private message from Wang Meng popped up.

Wang Meng: “Boss, boss! Did you just kill a foreign team? The leader’s name was something like… V-A-L-E…?”

Qin Feng, interrupting his clumsy pronunciation: “Yes, that was me. What about it?”

Wang Meng laughed awkwardly: “Oh, nothing major! Just wanted to check if there was some misunderstanding. That team had worked with Magic City officials, helped with some bosses, and even saved a few people.”

Qin Feng: “Got it. Next time I see them, I’ll greet them before killing them.”

Wang Meng: “???”

Though dumbfounded, Wang Meng understood Qin Feng’s tone.

Wang Meng: “So, they provoked you? What happened?”

Qin Feng: “I was studying the boss, trying to uncover some hidden information. Then this team barged in, started fighting, and enraged the boss. What do you think I should’ve done?”

Wang Meng was stunned.

Studying the boss? Hidden information? Was that even a thing?

He silently thought, Wow, is this how the boss gains his knowledge? Next time I encounter a boss, I should observe it more carefully.

But Wang Meng quickly shook the thought off and replied: “Makes sense! Interfering with your hidden discoveries is indeed unforgivable. No worries then—Magic City officials just wanted to ask about it, don’t mind them.”

Qin Feng, of course, didn’t mind.

In fact, he used this as an opportunity to propose cooperation.

Qin Feng: “By the way, let the Magic City officials know—if they want to collaborate, they can come directly to me. Any platinum-level boss or above, I’ll help take it down. They can keep all the loot, as long as I get the lifespan and anything Assassin-class related.”

Wang Meng was taken aback by the offer but quickly replied: “Understood. I’ll let them know. The officials will probably assign someone to coordinate with you directly… By the way, will you be staying in Magic City permanently? If we find a big boss in Jianghai, will you come?”

Qin Feng: “If it’s platinum-level or higher and you can’t handle it, let me know. I’ll come if I’m free. One condition, though—I get to loot the corpse myself.”

Wang Meng chuckled: “Deal, boss!”

He knew exactly what Qin Feng meant by “looting the corpse.” It referred to the 20% chance of extra rewards granted by the Greedy Hand skill.

To Wang Meng, Qin Feng’s terms were absurdly generous.

In Wang Meng’s eyes, Qin Feng was like a benevolent saint.

Here was a player willing to travel to distant regions, kill bosses for others, and only take lifespan and Assassin-specific loot.

Without Qin Feng, taking down a platinum-level boss would require significant time, effort, and resources, with no guarantee of success. Having Qin Feng meant saving time, lifespan, and potentially securing valuable loot.

But what Wang Meng didn’t know was just how much Qin Feng gained from these deals.

Each boss kill provided Qin Feng with multiple rewards:

Massive experience points.

Base loot drops.

Lifespan and evolution points.

Extra rewards from Greedy Hand.

By helping with boss hunts, Qin Feng could take full advantage of the first, third, and fourth rewards while still leaving the officials satisfied with the second.

For example, the base loot of a platinum-level boss might include 0–2 platinum-grade items and 3–5 gold-grade items.

But with Greedy Hand, Qin Feng could extract 0–10 emerald-grade items and 18–30 platinum-grade items—an exponential gain compared to the base rewards.

Even if Qin Feng gave the officials the base loot, he would still walk away with significant profits.

Of course, such collaborations would only be feasible once Qin Feng acquired a flying mount.

The game’s map was vast, and even with his current speed, it wasn’t practical to travel constantly. Without a flying mount, he’d spend all his time commuting, leaving no room for personal growth.

Once he secured a flying mount, Qin Feng’s efficiency would skyrocket, allowing him to transform into a true boss-hunting mercenary.

News of Qin Feng’s offer quickly spread among both Jianghai and Magic City officials. The response was overwhelmingly positive.

“Wait, does this mean we just need to focus on finding bosses now?”

“We were so short on time and manpower before. This will save us so much effort!”

“What a legend! The boss just wants lifespan and Assassin loot? Truly admirable!”

“I was even thinking we’d have to offer extra lifespan to get his help with tough bosses. Turns out he doesn’t even need that much!”

“Quick! Spread out and find more platinum-level bosses!”

In this environment, Theodore’s diplomatic team lost all strategic value almost instantly.

Not long after, they received an official response from Magic City: collaboration terminated.
