Chapter 221: “What Do You Mean ‘Very Simple’?”
Ten Minutes Later!
Chen Wuming’s subordinate, Rebirth Pastry Healer Dad, was chased down by the Bone Necromancer and ultimately respawned at their hideout.
“Boss, the boSS is dead.”
“But… it wasn’t us who killed it. Shadow arrived and killed it in one slash…”
The middle-aged healer looked like he was about to cry as he came running over.
Chen Wuming’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Although the loss wasn’t catastrophic, they had lost over 50 players, collectively costing them a few years of lifespan.
The worst part? It was all for nothing!
If he hadn’t believed Qin Xiaoyou’s nonsense, Chen Wuming wouldn’t have led his team into this disaster.
Given the boSS only had 12 minutes left on its timer, there wasn’t enough time to strategize or experiment with mechanics. Knowing they couldn’t win, why throw themselves to their deaths?
“What do you mean, ‘very simple’?”
Chen Wuming rubbed his temples in frustration.
And there was no point in confronting Qin Xiaoyou about it.
That woman was shameless enough to blame their failure on their own incompetence.
“Unbelievable!”
Chen Wuming sighed.
At least Shadow was reliable.
“I can’t believe the officials actually called Shadow for help.”
“And he really made it in time, crossing over 300 kilometers?”
“This speed is insane!”
“Next time something like this happens, I’m definitely calling Shadow…”
Meanwhile…
Qin Xiaoyou also heard about how the Bone Necromancer was defeated by Shadow with a single slash.
This left her in awe.
“Shadow is truly incredible.”
“No matter how powerful the Qin Feng in my dreams seems, he doesn’t hold a candle to Shadow…”
“But what are those dream-like memories all about?”
“Are they really fragments of my past?”
“Did I actually… gouge out Qin Feng’s eyes?”
The thought left her confused, but she quickly shook her head.
“Hmph! Even if that’s true, it must have been because he deserved it! I wouldn’t have done something like that for no reason.”
“I was hoping to test those memories, to see if they were real…”
“But this guild is so weak.”
“I’ll need to find more clues elsewhere…”
She was becoming increasingly anxious, eager to confirm whether the fleeting memories in her mind—dreamlike images that kept resurfacing—were based on real events. To her, this was of immense importance.
As for Qin Feng? She didn’t care in the slightest.
If Qin Feng were dead, she would think he deserved it for cutting ties with her.
If Qin Feng were alive, she would hate him even more—how dare he not come back to take care of her after all she had been through?
“If those memories are real, once I figure them out, I’ll become as powerful as Shadow.”
“And if Qin Feng is still alive, he’ll regret it.”
“But wait… Shadow killed Brother Songfei. If I become a strong player, should I…”
These thoughts had been circling in her mind lately.
But suddenly, an unsettling realization struck her like a bolt of lightning.
“Wait…”
“Qin Feng? Shadow?”
“Could they be the same person?”
“If these memories in my mind are real, could it be possible that Qin Feng also has similar memories?”
The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Yet, it was a possibility she instinctively didn’t want to believe—it was too terrifying.
But as she mulled it over, the logic began to align.
Why else would Shadow have “coincidentally” shown up at Firefly Town during the beginner phase, and “just so happened” to steal a Silver-tier boSS from Songfei?
And why had he been so ruthless as to kill Songfei in the real world afterward?
Could Qin Feng’s reason for cutting ties with her have been because she gouged out his eyes?
It all… seemed to fit.
“No, impossible. It’s absolutely impossible.”
“Those memories are just dreams. They’re not real…”
“No, they must be real. If I can uncover the truth, I can regain my legs and become strong…”
“But if Qin Feng really is Shadow… what should I do?”
Her thoughts spiraled out of control, leaving her on the verge of a mental breakdown.
…
Meanwhile, Qin Feng was entirely unaware.
Thanks to the memories from a previous life provided to Qin Xiaoyou by Ashahisis, she was now tormented by confusion and anguish.
Not that it would have mattered if Qin Feng knew.
Even if Qin Xiaoyou were to confront him, demanding to know if he was Qin Feng, he wouldn’t care in the slightest.
Their ties had been severed long ago. What reason would she have to bother him now?
In this life, he was Shadow.
Qin Feng?
That name…
It might as well no longer exist.
…
Outside the Jianghai Ruins, a faintly glowing white portal had appeared behind the corpse of the Bone Necromancer.
Qin Feng was standing with Anyu and the others, who were all gasping in shock at the sight.
Though they were already aware of Shadow’s reputation for one-shotting boSSes, witnessing it firsthand was a different matter entirely.
The stark contrast was what made it truly jaw-dropping.
Chen Wuming’s team wasn’t as strong as Anyu and Wang Meng’s, but they were at least half as capable.
For a boSS that had completely overwhelmed Chen Wuming’s team to be defeated with a single blow—this was power on an entirely different level.
What intrigued Anyu and her team, however, was the portal that appeared on the boSS’s corpse.
“What’s that portal?” someone asked.
“I’ll go in alone,” Qin Feng replied, narrowing his eyes at the glowing doorway.
This portal was the very reason he had rushed here in the first place.
The Bone Necromancer was a subordinate of the God of Bones. Defeating it opened a portal to the Bone Bishop’s Crypt.
Qin Feng had explored this crypt in his previous life.
It wasn’t just a standard dungeon with monsters and boSSes.
Instead, it was a unique competitive scenario, pitting two teams against each other within a set time limit.
“In my last life, I discovered this Bone Necromancer over two hours earlier than this… yet the kill time was barely ten minutes earlier than now.”
If nothing had changed, the portal on the other side would lead to a confrontation with a team from Sakura Country, who had also defeated a Bone Necromancer and entered their crypt.
Their team was led by Handashima Ichiro, one of Sakura Country’s top ten players in the later stages of the game, with the hidden class Sword Saint.
Although the class wasn’t particularly rare—thousands of players worldwide had it—Handashima’s talent was Jade-tier, making him formidable.
In his previous life, Qin Feng’s team had clashed with Handashima’s in the crypt. Neither side gained the upper hand, and both were eventually forced out when the timer expired.
“This time, I won’t hold back.”
Qin Feng’s lips curled into a faint smile.
The crypt’s rules were simple: two teams would compete, and the winning team would gain the right to explore further.
“I already have one Bone Rune.”
“If I find a second one in the crypt…”
Collecting three Bone Runes would grant access to the Tomb of the God of Bones.
