- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 111
“Good thing there’s a skill list for me to choose from.”
“Otherwise, I can read a bit and understand some Old God language, but I definitely can’t speak it!”
Qin Feng sighed with relief.
After he made his choice to upgrade the skill, the Divine Arbiter, Ashahys, bowed once again, stepped back, and her delicate, white-robed figure gradually dissolved into starlight…
Once she disappeared, a white glow gathered in the cavern, forming an oval-shaped portal.
It was obviously the way out.
Qin Feng glanced at the golden bell in his hand…
“Why does this bell look just like a mount bell?”
“Could it be used as a mount?”
“…”
He shook his head, stored the bell in the 100-slot storage space granted by *Greedy Hand*, and stepped through the portal.
While it might seem like he’d made off with a great deal, Qin Feng still had some reservations about this ‘Divine Arbiter.’
NPCs in the Godforsaken Game were not to be fully trusted.
They weren’t mindless programs but intelligent beings, capable of lying and primarily looking out for their own interests!
In the end, it’s best to stay vigilant.
Then again, there was no need for him to be overly anxious.
“The Godforsaken Game follows its own rules.”
“Even actual deities can’t interfere with the game’s mechanics.”
“So, for now, there’s no need to worry about her doing anything to me…”
…
Outside the Jiang Hai City ruins.
At the entrance of the temple maze below the cliff.
When Qin Feng emerged from the teleportation portal, he was surprised to find Lin Liyu still there.
She had been sitting on a stone ledge nearby.
Upon seeing him, she immediately sprang up, brushing the wrinkles from her black robe as she came over to greet him.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. “You’ve been here waiting for me this whole hour instead of leveling up?”
Lin Liyu smiled wryly, “Had to guard the spot for you, so no one ambushed you when you came out~”
“Thanks.”
Qin Feng chuckled and shook his head, handing her a mage skill book. “Here, take this. It dropped in the ruins.”
It was a platinum-grade spellbook for a magic shield, with a level requirement of 13.
She couldn’t use it yet, but once she reached level 13, it would give her a major boost in survival.
Lin Liyu’s eyes lit up. “A platinum-grade skill? Thank you, big guy~”
She didn’t hesitate, accepting the skill book with both hands.
To Qin Feng, the skill book was worth only about ten years of tradable lifespan.
And using those ten years to foster a relationship with Lin Liyu, his lucky charm? Absolutely worth it!
The key was to help her form a pattern of thought.
If she found any opportunities, she’d invite Qin Feng along, and he’d always reward her for it.
In time, she’d naturally bring more opportunities his way…
On the other hand, if he’d never given anything in return, why would she keep sharing opportunities with him?
“Alright, everything’s taken care of. Let’s head back.”
He motioned towards the exit.
Lin Liyu nodded, leading the way out of the maze.
Soon, they arrived at the cliff base near the entrance.
Qin Feng stepped out onto a protruding ledge and, with over three hundred points in agility, leaped gracefully to the top of the cliff!
Lin Liyu couldn’t help but be impressed by his athleticism.
After he reached down to pull her up from the ledge, they bid each other farewell, and Qin Feng logged off.
The system notified him that his real-world hunger level had reached 90%, and he needed to attend to it.
Lin Liyu then opened her chat and reported to An Yu, “Captain An, all done! The big guy seemed pretty happy—he even gave me a platinum skill book~”
An Yu was quick to ask, “Tell me, tell me—when you climbed the cliff, were you above or below him?”
Lin Liyu was puzzled, “Huh? What difference does it make?”
An Yu chuckled, “Oh, it makes all the difference. If you’re above him, then he’d have a prime view of…”
Lin Liyu: “??? Captain An, please stop reading those trashy novels…”
…
Meanwhile, Qin Feng returned to his real-world sanctuary, the Purifying Soul Grounds.
Upon arrival, he noticed the place had undergone a complete transformation.
The furniture, appliances, and even a full generator module he had created from the *Tome of Divine Crafting* were all in place, installed by the mechanical servants.
The central Purifying Soul Hall was a circular room with a diameter of about fifty meters.
It was now filled with modern lighting.
A large round table stood in the center, surrounded by tea tables, cabinets, and bookshelves, each carefully arranged.
In such a short time, the five mechanical servants had done their best to make the place feel like a warm home!
Of course, the power generator module from the Tome of Divine Crafting wasn’t a perpetual machine. Qin Feng had to periodically refuel it.
He chose a magnetic power generation module, which allowed him to extract magnetite from the Tome of Divine Crafting to generate power… This setup was far more efficient than anything on Blue Star and highly effective.
On average, it would only cost him around ten hours of lifespan to power the place for an entire month.
After settling in, he left the Purifying Soul Hall and headed to the dining room.
Sitting at the table, he pulled out the Tome of Divine Crafting and started ordering food.
Finally, his life was beginning to stabilize, with the ability to eat whatever he desired, whenever he wanted—remarkably convenient!
And all of this was made possible because Qin Feng had the ability to earn sufficient lifespan from the Godforsaken Game.
“Although only the Purifying Soul Hall and a few small rooms have been ‘furnished’ so far…”
“It’s more than enough since it’s just me.”
And surrounding every real-world sanctuary, there were anti-detection magical defense barriers, capable of withstanding bombardment and making the sanctuary invisible to any form of scanning.
At least for now, his sense of security was maxed out!
Meanwhile, as Qin Feng enjoyed his meal back in reality…
Within the Jiang Hai City ruins!
In the northwest corner of the ruins.
At the entrance to the Purifying Soul Grounds!
“Look! There’s a staircase leading down here!”
The excited voice of Qin Xiaoyou echoed through the team’s chat.
She was standing at the entrance of the stairs to the Purifying Soul Grounds, her heart racing!
All the guilds now understood the importance of sanctuaries.
And so did the Knights’ Sanctuary.
Most of the small monsters in the city ruins had been cleared out by players, making the area relatively safe. Qin Xiaoyou had been assigned to join a team searching for a sanctuary.
Finding one would earn her a lifespan reward from the guild.
A silver-level sanctuary meant five hundred days of lifespan!
A gold-level one? That was two thousand days!
Qin Xiaoyou had eaten so many instant noodles she could barely stand them anymore. She was penniless and short on lifespan, living in near destitution.
Even the instant noodles she ate had been bought by her roommate, Chu Yan…
Now, standing in front of that mysterious, dark stairway, she was beyond thrilled!
If this turned out to be a sanctuary, she could finally earn her guild’s lifespan reward!
