GTA Chapter 100

As Qin Feng was checking his gains,

In the ruins of Jianghai City,

After the news of the “Headless Assassin” being defeated was confirmed, players in the ruins finally dared to show themselves.

Even elite players like Wang Meng were drenched in sweat.

The surviving players emerged from the ruins in small groups, each feeling as though they had narrowly escaped death.

“Good grief, such an overpowered platinum boss, and someone actually soloed it—can you even call him human?”

“Shadow is amazing! If it weren’t for him, who knows how many more people in Jianghai City would have died!!”

“Actually, the boss’s main strength was in its invisibility. If we could see through its stealth, we could have taken it down just as easily!”

“Yeah, right. Talking big, huh? Why didn’t you show up earlier then?”

“Well, it’s because I couldn’t see the boss, wasn’t it?”

“Did you guys notice? Shadow was almost entirely invisible throughout the fight, yet he could see the boss. He must have at least a level 4 anti-stealth ability. How did he manage that?”

“You’re asking me? If I knew, I wouldn’t be standing here chatting with you.”

…

There were countless witnesses to this battle.

Previously, many people had no real sense of “Shadow’s” strength.

Even though Qin Feng had publicly defeated the “Steel Saintess” before, it didn’t carry as much impact as this time.

Because…

The “Headless Assassin” had taken down hundreds of players!

No one had been able to stop it.

Such a terrifying boss had been utterly outmatched by Shadow, forced to flee desperately, and ultimately slain!

With this direct comparison, people truly understood the immense gap between themselves and “Shadow.”

Amidst the crowd, Wang Meng spoke bitterly in the team chat, “I used to think that if we just kept pushing ourselves, we’d eventually be able to catch up to the big guy. But now, I’ve completely lost hope.”

An Yu, clad in a set of gold-level armor with a silver-level longsword at her waist, chuckled, “No way, really? Someone actually thought they could catch up to the big guy?”

Wang Meng covered his face, “Can’t a guy at least dream?”

Meanwhile,

After learning that the “Headless Assassin” was taken down, Qin Xiaoyou finally logged back in, urgently sending a private message to the guild leader, Chen Wuming.

“What? You died again?”

“Want another ten days of lifespan?”

Chen Wuming was on the verge of breaking down.

He had originally recruited members to expand the guild’s assets!

In fact, many guild members were now self-sufficient, contributing to the guild’s growth.

But this “Xiaoyou,” she was simply absurd!

If it weren’t for the binding membership contract, which also imposed obligations on the guild, Chen Wuming would have kicked her out long ago.

“What was I thinking when I recruited this money-losing proposition?”

“Such a weak player… only a miracle worker could carry her.”

“Can’t you at least be more cautious, knowing how bad you are?”

“Forget it, I’d better set up a hideout soon and keep her there doing some chores to make herself useful!”

Chen Wuming was at his wit’s end!

If he knew that Qin Feng had led Qin Xiaoyou to rank among the world’s top 100 players in the previous era, he’d probably kneel on the spot…

…

Ten minutes later,

In the Magic City ruins, at the Evil Spirit Academy,

Qin Feng rode his ghost wolf back to this place, and this time, he aimed to reach the third underground level of the academy.

——

【Would you like to consume 2.74 years of tradable lifespan to establish the guild “Shadow”?】

【Yes/No】

——

Qin Feng selected “Yes.”

Creating a guild required 1,000 days of lifespan, equivalent to 2.74 years.

Anyone could establish one.

“Creating a guild is quite costly.”

“At least the guild name wasn’t taken.”

With the command issued, Qin Feng became the leader of the “Shadow” guild.

Now that the guild was established, he could access the guild management interface, set guild tax rates, and activate the “guild chat channel.”

Of course, for now, the guild had only one member—Qin Feng—and he didn’t plan on recruiting anyone.

His intention was simply to use the guild as a means to claim another hideout…

However,

As Qin Feng entered the first underground level of the Evil Spirit Academy, he discovered that the monsters along the path had already been cleared!

“I hope they didn’t kill the boss too.”

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 it up.”

Qin Feng proceeded quickly through the dimly lit academy basement.

He had never visited this place in his previous life.

“The Evil Spirit Academy was the hideout of the Sky Dome guild back then.”

“Even if guests visited, they could only stay in the academy hall. There was no way they could reach the core underground area.”

“Could it be a team from the Sky Dome guild?”

Qin Feng followed the passage, descending to the second underground level, and continued down to the deepest third level!

As he reached the third underground floor, a wave of heat hit him.

Qin Feng found that the third level of the Evil Spirit Academy was filled with rivers of lava.

Ancient stone bridges spanned the lava rivers, positioned over ten meters above, leading step by step to the core of the area.

As he walked across the stone bridge, Qin Feng noticed that it was protected by a magical defense barrier, making it impervious to standard attacks.

He continued along the stone bridge,

And from a distance, illuminated by the glow of the lava, he saw a group of players fiercely battling a humanoid monster engulfed in flames.

Qin Feng remained in stealth, advancing quietly.

Soon, he reached the vicinity of the lava platform…

The rock platform above the lava was about the size of two basketball courts. At its center, a silver-tier miniboss, the “Flame Mummy,” spewed flames in all directions.

Around the Flame Mummy, eight or nine players were struggling to subdue the boss.

“Damn it. We’ve been fighting this silver miniboss for ages, and there’s still no sign of that girl.”

“She’s probably ahead. I can see her even when she’s in stealth—she won’t get away.”

“That little wench is so slippery, always finding a place to hide.”

“Haha, if killing her were that easy, would the Chu family woman be paying us thirty years of lifespan?”

“Why call her a woman? Watch your mouth—she’s our cash cow!”

“Yeah, watch what you say. I heard her family in Jianghai City, the Dongfang family, was completely slaughtered by Shadow. If we provoke her, it won’t end well for us…”

“Enough talk, let’s finish this boss and keep hunting. Be careful, that girl’s attacks have some kind of soul damage—they hurt a lot. Don’t let her catch you off guard!”

…

Since these players were not in the same party,

Their chat was public.

They didn’t expect that a stealthy Qin Feng was eavesdropping on every word.

Of course, if it had been someone else, these words wouldn’t have meant much.

But to Qin Feng, they revealed a lot!

“The Chu family woman? Her family in Jianghai… the Dongfang family?”

“Soul damage?”

In an instant, Qin Feng connected several pieces of information!

“Could it be her?”

The notorious “Blade of the Underworld” from his past life, ranked among the top ten global players, was widely recognized as the number one assassin.

It was said that she appeared to be an innocent-looking loli but was, in reality, a ruthless and ferocious killer.

Not long after the God-Forsaken Game began, she single-handedly wiped out the entire Chu family in Magic City!

Moreover…

“There are still surviving members of the Dongfang family, and one of them married into the Chu family?”

“If that’s the case… in my previous life, I never even heard of the Dongfang family. Could they have been wiped out by that woman as well?”

What an unexpected discovery!
