- GTA Chapter 133
Outside the Devil City Ruins, the Divine Authority Tower!
Initially guarded by the NPC ‘Queen Waning Moon · Virginie’!
Before becoming the guardian of the Divine Authority Tower, Virginie had a pair of children who were murdered right before her eyes… an event that drove her to madness.
She deluded herself into believing her children were still alive.
If players came to challenge her, she would assign a quest asking them to find her son and daughter.
In truth, this quest was impossible to complete.
The only way to gain an advantage with this NPC was… for a young man and woman to form a team and challenge together!
For many early-stage players, challenging a golden boss with just two people was extremely difficult.
But with guides and strategies available in later stages, more players were able to accomplish this.
If a young man and woman formed a team to challenge her, Virginie would mistake them for her deceased son and daughter!
In the end, when buying the Divine Gift Books, they could purchase them at a 90% discount…
In certain scenarios, they could even acquire them for free by meeting specific conditions.
This earned Virginie the nickname ‘Mother’ among players.
Eventually, in the mid-game, any young man and woman entering this Divine Authority Tower would be seen as Virginie’s children.
These players—without exception—were considered her children, leading to ‘Mother’s children’ being spread across the country…
This generosity even led to Virginie constantly selling the Divine Gift Books at a loss, to the extent of using her own lifespan to produce them for her ‘children,’ ultimately exhausting her lifespan and dying…
When Qin Feng was reborn, the NPC guarding the tower had already been replaced.
It was truly a tragic story.
But all Qin Feng could do was ensure that she wouldn’t go bankrupt again.
Otherwise, whatever he gave would simply end up benefiting countless players who came after…
——
【Player ‘Gui Ling’ has joined your party!】
——
Qin Feng led the young Gui Ling into the Divine Authority Tower.
They were immediately greeted by the sight of a noblewoman radiating gentle white light. She wore a Moon-Waning Robe, had a wizard’s pointed hat, and her form shifted between solid and ethereal.
This was Virginie’s projection!
A Level 20 golden-tier boss!
In the Divine Authority Tower challenges, the boss’s minimum level was 20, but if the challengers’ average level exceeded 20, the boss would match the challengers’ average level…
“My children, you’ve finally come home…”
Upon Qin Feng and Gui Ling’s entrance, the noblewoman looked at them, and her once-cloudy eyes softened, becoming filled with warmth and love. “Have you returned for the Divine Gift Books?”
“Although I would love to give them to you, per the tower’s rules, you must first complete the challenge…”
“Come now, face your mother…”
???
Gui Ling was dumbfounded by what she heard.
Children?
Mother?
What was this nonsense?
Qin Feng patted her shoulder, snapping her out of it. “Don’t overthink it, just follow my lead.”
With those words, Qin Feng attacked immediately—Killing Shadow, Flash Strike!
In an instant, shadows and blades filled the room, slashing through Virginie’s golden-tier projection boss in a single stroke!
“???”
Gui Ling was stunned yet again.
She had just lifted her hand to prepare for battle.
But before she could react, a flurry of blade strikes enveloped the golden-tier boss, reducing it to radiant white fragments!
Gui Ling silently lowered her hand.
She realized that teaming up with ‘Shadow’ meant she might never even need to act. All she had to do was cheer him on!
She felt a pang of shame.
“I’m so far behind compared to my teacher… I need to work much harder!”
…
After Qin Feng obliterated Virginie’s projection, a beam of white light descended from the tower’s summit, enveloping both him and Gui Ling.
Shortly after, the true form of Virginie, bathed in sacred moonlight, descended before them.
“Ellen, Anna… let Mother hold you…”
Virginie’s eyes glistened with joy as she moved toward them for an embrace.
At Qin Feng’s prompting…
Gui Ling timidly murmured, “I love you, Mother…”
This phrase instantly triggered a key reaction!
“Anna, Mother loves you too.”
Tears welled in Virginie’s eyes as she handed over nine Divine Gift Books to Gui Ling—for free!
As for Qin Feng, who did not say those words, he purchased two Divine Gift Books that weren’t available in Jianghai City at a 90% discount.
These were the ‘Divine Gift Book · Daxia Tobacco’ and ‘Divine Gift Book · Maritime Vessels.’
Indeed.
Vicry’s Divine Gift Book selection didn’t include ‘Tobacco.’
Players from Jianghai City who didn’t challenge in Devil City would miss out on smoking options in the future.
So Qin Feng paid 100 days of lifespan for each of the two books. While they weren’t particularly useful to him, there was no harm in collecting them.
“Anna, if you ever face danger, don’t leave your brother’s side.”
“Your brother will protect you…”
As Virginie’s gentle words echoed, Gui Ling became increasingly bewildered.
She accepted the nine Divine Gift Books without question… it’d be foolish not to take them for free.
Once the NPC finished speaking, Qin Feng explained Virginie’s backstory to Gui Ling.
This made Gui Ling admire Qin Feng even more.
He even knew the background stories of NPCs—how broad was his knowledge base?!
The conversation soon turned somber as Gui Ling, perhaps reminded of her own mother, asked softly, “Is it really okay to take advantage of her like this? Will she be okay?”
Qin Feng shook his head. “All I know is that the cost for an NPC to produce a Divine Gift Book is ten days of lifespan. I paid two hundred days; she won’t lose out.”
It put the greed of the Six-Fingered Necromancer Vicry into stark contrast.
His base price was one thousand, and it only increased with player strength.
This excessive greed led to players with divine power teaming up to eliminate Vicry in the previous life… his extortion was infamous, causing numerous top-tier players endless grief!
…
With their mission accomplished, Qin Feng led Gui Ling out of the Divine Authority Tower.
It was time to take care of business.
Qin Feng planned to return to the Devil City Ruins to eliminate the emerald-tier Blade of the Devil.
As for the serial killer in Jianghai… Gui Ling could handle that.
They soon parted ways.
Before leaving, Gui Ling hesitated and asked, “Um, Teacher, should I keep calling you Teacher, or maybe switch to Brother? ‘Brother’ has a nice ring to it too…”
Qin Feng immediately waved his hand. “Anything but Brother. Teacher works just fine.”
No way.
In this life, Qin Feng was determined never to have another ‘little sister.’
No exceptions.
“Oh…”
Gui Ling was a bit disappointed. She thought ‘Brother’ felt more affectionate, especially after what Virginie had said.
She didn’t expect Qin Feng’s rejection to be so blunt!
Did he have some painful past?
…
Following Qin Feng’s instructions, Gui Ling logged out.
She noticed a mount bell on the table… it was the ‘Ghostly Night Wolf’ mount bell Qin Feng had prepared for her!
After all, it wouldn’t be fair for her to walk all the way to Jianghai.
So Gui Ling took the mount bell.
That night, a spectral wolf carrying a young girl, shrouded in stealth, departed from the beachfront restaurant…
Heading toward Jianghai City!
Meanwhile…
In Jianghai City, inside a secret underground chamber filled with torture instruments, chainsaws, and drills, a surgical bed lay in the center.
A scar-faced man wearing black gloves with a skull motif was cleaning blood and chunks of flesh off the bed.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed.
He picked it up, reading the message displayed: “Prepare the next target!”
“Time to select another lucky one…”
“How about this?”
He glanced at a webpage, a twisted smile crossing his face.
‘Mountain Water Impressions, Building 11, Floor 11. House for Sale (Price: 380 days of lifespan). Contact: Miss Qin…’
It was none other than Qin Feng’s former residence in Jianghai City.
Clearly, the ‘Miss Qin’ in the listing referred to… Qin Xiaoyou!
