Chapter 208: Abyssal Curse Vase, Puppet Curse!
Before departing, Qin Feng privately messaged ‘Old Zhang.’
He intended to discuss the upcoming auction with him.
Recently, Qin Feng had spent a bit too much of his lifespan. Although he had just defeated a Diamond-tier boss, it had only granted him 1,400 years of life. His total lifespan was now just over 2,000 years.
For an average player, this was a significant amount.
But for Qin Feng, it was far from enough!
Two or three skills, and it would be gone!
Thus, it was time to auction the three Platinum-tier hideouts.
However…
What Qin Feng didn’t expect was that Old Zhang replied saying he was too busy, and suggested he contact his granddaughter, Zhang Jinxuan, instead.
Qin Feng: ???
“Fine, granddaughter it is.”
Anyway, discussing things with a beautiful young woman was definitely more pleasant than talking to an old man…
Besides, Zhang Jinxuan wasn’t lacking in ability.
In fact, the Tianqiong Guild was almost entirely managed by her now.
Old Zhang spent most of his time playing Mahjong at the Ghost Academy’s library, neglecting his duties as the Guild Leader!
So, Qin Feng told Zhang Jinxuan about the three Platinum-tier hideouts and asked her to organize the auction.
She would get 5% of the proceeds.
This made the “Soul Painter” extremely happy!
“Don’t worry, Big Boss! I’ll handle it!”
Zhang Jinxuan winked at Qin Feng. “By the way, can I draw a protective talisman for you? Is that okay, Big Boss?”
“A protective talisman?”
Qin Feng was puzzled.
“This one,” Zhang Jinxuan said, raising her hand and drawing a small, fiery bird in mid-air with her brush.
The bird soon coalesced into a jade-like talisman the size of a palm, and surprisingly, it had an attribute.
——
Phoenix Song Talisman (Creator: Shili Qingshan Yuan): Does not occupy an equipment slot. Can be worn to reduce 30% fire damage.
——
Such a thing exists?
Qin Feng wasn’t very familiar with the “Soul Painter” class—he knew the basics, but not the details.
For Qin Feng, this talisman’s attribute might not be useful, but it was certainly better to have it than not.
He accepted it with a smile. “Thanks.”
Seeing Qin Feng accept the talisman, Zhang Jinxuan grinned happily. “You’re welcome, Big Boss~”
Qin Feng wore the talisman on his shoulder.
“I have to say, this girl’s painting skills are really something…” Qin Feng thought, the little bird was so vivid it almost looked like a mini phoenix.
If someone else had painted it, it would probably have turned out as a “little chick pecking seeds” picture, right?
Anyway, both parties had come to an agreement.
Zhang Jinxuan would handle the auction, and Qin Feng just needed to collect the money and hand over the keys when the time came.
After the discussion was settled, Qin Feng left the Ghost Academy and mounted Osirio, flying toward the Magic Leaning Tower.
This time, he wasn’t going to hide.
He was going to let Huang Ziqing know that he was coming!
“Based on the information provided by Wan Ye Wei Yu, this guy definitely obtained the Abyssal Curse Vase. However, he’s really lucky, getting at least two… no, at least three cursed skills!”
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes as he gazed toward the distant Magic Leaning Tower.
Osirio flew at supersonic speed, and they would reach the destination soon.
During the flight, Qin Feng reflected on the Abyssal Curse Vase.
It was an extremely mysterious item…
In his previous life, the first person to obtain this item was lost to history, but that person was dead and gone.
In simple terms, this vase could be used every two days. When you reached into it, you would pull out an epic curse skill from the Abyss!
These skills were incredibly powerful!
Abyssal Silence Curse, Abyssal Blood Source Curse, Abyssal Voodoo Doll…
But!
Such powerful skills naturally came with side effects.
Each skill had a mysterious negative effect that read, “You are now closer to the Abyss…”
This negative effect made no sense.
But after countless bloody lessons, people finally understood: every time you acquired a skill from the Abyssal Curse Vase, there was a chance the vase would suck you in when you reached inside again. You’d be trapped in the Abyss, unable to escape—even unable to log out, ultimately starving to death in real life!
Just imagine—if you could pull an epic skill out of a vase every two days, could you resist the temptation?
At first, every player who acquired the curse vase would flaunt their power with these skills for days.
But soon, they would vanish without a trace!
Then, the vase would end up in someone else’s hands, and the cycle would repeat…
Eventually, a player named ‘Heavenly Extreme Star’ ended the cycle.
He cleverly saw through the vase’s manipulation of human greed. He took only one skill and passed the vase to a friend, making sure his friend only took one skill as well…
In the end, nine different players each took one skill from the vase, and it shattered!
The player ‘Heavenly Extreme Star’ and the other eight formed a guild with only nine members, called the Abyssal Nine!
Nine years later, this guild was ranked among the top ten in the Great Xia region.
Even though they had only nine members and none of them were ranked in the top 100 globally, when they united, they were able to bloodily suppress the ‘Crimson’ guild, which was ranked in the top five of Great Xia!
The Crimson Guild’s overall strength far exceeded that of Qin Feng’s Zhan Shen Guild.
They were even a force capable of challenging the official Great Xia factions head-on.
But when faced with the Abyssal Nine…
The Crimson Guild was no match—they were utterly defeated and fled in disgrace!
Part of this was because those nine were indeed strong.
The other part was due to the nine crucial curse skills they possessed from the Abyssal Curse Vase.
“Abyssal Silence Curse, Abyssal Slow Curse… these were two of the skills one of the Abyssal Nine players pulled from the vase.”
“Also… Huang Ziqing must still have an ‘Abyssal Puppet Curse!’”
Through official records, Qin Feng learned that Huang Ziqing’s mother, Huang Huifen, had once logged on personally, transferred the guild leader position to her son, and claimed she was ill and needed to rest.
Afterward, ‘Huang Huifen’ would log on every day to chat privately with some friends, making her presence known.
She even called some of her friends in real life.
Because of this, the authorities never investigated Huang Huifen and didn’t notice anything amiss.
But…
Qin Feng knew from Gao Xiaoyi’s memories that Huang Huifen was already dead, buried two meters deep in the backyard!
So, was Gao Xiaoyi wrong?
“This guy is a corpse collector, and no one is more sensitive to corpses than him,” Qin Feng thought, still respecting Gao Xiaoyi’s “professional” judgment on this matter.
So, there was only one possibility left.
The Abyssal Puppet Curse!
This skill could turn a corpse into a puppet under the player’s control!
“Now, I’ve solved it.”
“Huang Ziqing used the Puppet Curse to control Huang Huifen, avoiding detection from the authorities in the short term.”
“And the reason he’s willing to cooperate with Gao Xiaoyi isn’t just because of the threat.”
“It’s because he needs my corpse too!”
Qin Feng let out a cold laugh.
The Puppet Curse could turn a player’s corpse into a permanent puppet that could exist alongside the player’s original form.
Which meant…
If Huang Ziqing could kill Qin Feng once in the game…
He could control a puppet exactly like ‘Shadow’!
And the strength of the puppet would be identical to that of ‘Shadow’!
