- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 26
Normally, the loot from a golden-tier boss would consist of 2-4 pieces of silver-tier equipment, with a small chance of dropping golden-tier gear.
But now…
Thanks to the effect of the **Epic Greedy Hand**, every piece of loot from the boss had its tier increased!
This directly upgraded three of the golden-tier items to platinum-tier.
Among these items, there were three that were usable for the assassin class.
Qin Feng inspected them one by one.
First, there was a platinum-tier assassin weapon.
——
[Ghost Ship Dual Blades (Platinum): Assassin-class weapon. Attack +136, Agility +22. Attack Speed +24%, Armor Penetration +17. Requirement: Level 5]
[Unique Effect: Each basic attack hits twice.]
——
“This unique effect isn’t that useful, since I mainly rely on skills for damage.”
“However, the base attack power of this weapon is high enough, and it gives me 22 points of agility!”
“The increased attack speed will also speed up skill casting and reduce skill cooldowns, so it’s not entirely useless…”
“As for the armor penetration attribute, that’s quite valuable too.”
When he fought the Golden Ghost Ship earlier, the damage from his skills was noticeably lower than when fighting other monsters.
That was because the golden-tier boss had very high defense.
The benefits of the armor penetration attribute were obvious.
Qin Feng equipped the weapon immediately.
Next, he checked the second piece of gear.
——
[Ghostfire Leather Armor (Gold): Physical Defense +25, Fire Resistance +50. Damage Block +14, Health +419. Requirement: Level 5]
——
This was an excellent piece of armor.
Especially for its **Damage Block** attribute.
“With this armor on, most players at this stage of the game won’t even be able to break through my defense!”
“Also… I haven’t put any points into Constitution, so my health is only 350 points right now.”
“This armor directly gives me 419 more health!”
After all, it was golden-tier gear.
One piece of equipment was worth more than an entire set of lower-tier gear.
Lastly, there was a skill book.
——
[Ghostly Blur (Gold): Assassin-class skill. Passively grants a 15% dodge chance. Dodging makes you immune to all damage.]
——
Qin Feng’s eyes lit up when he saw this skill.
Finally, a survival skill for assassins!
“Dodge builds aren’t mainstream in **Godforsaken**, but that’s only because it’s hard to stack dodge rate.”
“Even with 50% dodge, you can still die easily.”
“But…”
“I can infinitely evolve skills!”
“If I can push my dodge rate to 80%, the effect would be incredible…”
Qin Feng glanced at his remaining 21 evolution points.
For most people, it would be difficult to decide which skill to evolve first when faced with so many options…
But Qin Feng made his decision quickly.
“Let’s focus on damage first.”
“The higher my damage, the stronger bosses I can defeat, and the better loot I’ll get.”
For now, he ignored the newly acquired **Ghostly Blur** skill.
Instead, he chose to evolve **Shadow Slash**.
——
[You spent 3 + 5 evolution points, leaving 13 points.]
[Shadow Slash (Platinum → Emerald → Diamond): Dash in a direction (range: 21 → 24 → 27 meters) and enter stealth (duration: 7 → 8 → 9 seconds), slashing all enemies along the path 5 → 6 → 7 times. Cooldown: 12 (10.43) seconds.]
[Slash width: 3.1 → 3.6 → 4.1 meters. Each slash adds 200 → 250 → 300 attack power.]
——
Evolving **Shadow Slash** twice in a row had doubled its damage output!
Even without breaking stealth, a single use of the skill would now deal around 3,000 damage.
If he broke stealth and landed a backstab, the total damage from seven slashes could reach 6,000 or 7,000!
With 13 evolution points remaining, Qin Feng decided to evolve one of his basic skills—**Backstab Enhancement**.
——
[You spent 2 + 3 + 5 evolution points, leaving 3 points.]
[Basic Skill: Backstab Enhancement (Normal → Bronze → Silver → Gold). Passive Effect: When attacking from behind, damage is increased by 15% → 20% → 25% → 30%.]
——
This was a consistent damage boost, and the higher, the better.
After upgrading these skills, Qin Feng’s combat strength had significantly increased once again.
If he were to fight the Golden Ghost Ship again, he could defeat it in less than five minutes and probably wouldn’t even die this time…
After all, his agility had increased by 20 or 30 points, making him much faster. He now had the ability to dodge even the full-screen attacks from the boss’s half-health phase.
Next, Qin Feng checked his backpack.
Inside, there was another platinum-tier piece of gear and a platinum-tier skill book.
The gear was for archers, and the skill book was for priests.
“Platinum-tier items aren’t suitable for selling at this stage.”
“I’ll hold onto them for now.”
It wasn’t that Qin Feng was worried about revealing the capabilities of his **Greedy Hand**. After all, if you were strong enough, why fear exposure?
The main issue was that, at this stage, no one could afford platinum-tier items.
These items could easily sell for five or six years of lifespan, and the skill books could go for as much as ten years.
“Besides the platinum-tier items, I’ve got seven or eight golden-tier pieces of equipment and skill books, which I can sell to Wang Meng’s team.”
Qin Feng thought about it.
There was a mage skill book and a magic ring that he intended to give to Lin Liyu.
As promised, anything that dropped for her would be hers—no problem with that.
After all, Qin Feng had received the **Space Ring** from her, and in terms of value, the Space Ring was worth much more.
As for the warrior, priest, and archer gear, he could sell those to Wang Meng’s team at a 10% discount.
They might not be able to afford it right now…
But Qin Feng trusted Wang Meng’s character. He was okay with letting them owe him for now.
After all, Qin Feng had worked with Wang Meng for several years in his previous life and knew that he was reliable.
Roughly estimating, this would bring in several thousand more days of lifespan!
After sorting out the items, Qin Feng left the swamp and opened a private chat with Lin Liyu: “Xiao Hei, where are you?”
Lin Liyu couldn’t stand being called “Xiao Hei” anymore. She deeply regretted choosing such a codename…
But in **Godforsaken**, you couldn’t change your name…
Reluctantly, she responded, “I got caught by Iron Man and his crew and was killed back to town. Fortunately, our team’s tradable lifespan was all left with Uncle.”
She was referring to Wang Meng.
Wang Meng had strong survival skills, so entrusting lifespan to him was safer, preventing it from being lost upon death.
“Alright, wait for me to get back. I’ve got your items.”
Qin Feng entered stealth and headed back toward Shell Town.
Before long, he spotted Iron Man leading his group of over 20 people, still on their way toward the swamp.
When Qin Feng saw them, he viewed them as no different from a group of monsters and immediately began to attack!
…
Meanwhile!
In **Moonlight Town**, which belonged to Jianghai City of the Xia Dynasty.
After obtaining the hidden class **Life Priest**, Qin Xiaoyou had joined a team in Moonlight Town and was struggling to level up.
They were discussing the recent world-first kill of a golden-tier boss.
“Hey, I heard that Shell Town is the starting town for our Jianghai City.”
“Doesn’t that mean the Shadow guy is from our city?”
Everyone was chatting about it.
Qin Xiaoyou, as the team’s priest, followed behind and healed them, her heart secretly excited.
**Shadow!**
The global-first kill of a golden-tier boss—this super-strong player was actually from Jianghai City?
Qin Xiaoyou’s eyes brightened as she made up her mind: “Once someone from our town hits level 5, I’m going to Shell Town to find Shadow!”
She was already fed up with her current temporary team.
It took them forever to kill a single monster, and sometimes they even had to run from the monsters, looking utterly pathetic.
She thought to herself, “If I could team up with Shadow, leveling up and killing monsters would be a breeze!”
