- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 29
“Why are there so many people?”
Wang Meng logged back into the game and was momentarily stunned to see that the number of players in Shell Town had multiplied several times.
In **Godforsaken**, players had to reach level 3 to “log off,” effectively leaving the game world. To log back in, they simply had to close their eyes for more than ten seconds, after which a prompt would appear asking if they wanted to return to the Forsaken Realm.
Wang Meng had originally been level 3 and ranked in the top ten in Shell Town.
But now, he had been pushed down to the 20s.
“I need to catch up,” Wang Meng quickly messaged his teammates, including **Black Goblin Big Plum**.
However, he found that two of his teammates still hadn’t logged back in.
One of them was their middle-aged female priest.
“We’ll need to recruit another priest…” Wang Meng gathered the remaining three members of his team.
When he saw Lin Liyu, he was momentarily stunned. Around her neck hung a faintly glowing golden necklace!
Wang Meng and the other two teammates were dumbfounded. “What’s that?”
Lin Liyu smiled and explained what had happened between her and **Shadow**.
She added, “Shadow has gear and skills for your classes too. I can contact him later and get him to sell them to us—maybe even at a discount~”
Wang Meng laughed helplessly. “Silver-tier stuff is fine, but if it’s golden-tier, we probably won’t be able to afford it…”
The young sharpshooter in the team looked envious. “Man, it’s great that you actually got on Shadow’s friend list. Imagine if we could get close to him—we’d be living the good life, haha.”
Lin Liyu shot him a disdainful look. “Is that all you think about? Clinging to a big shot? How about reflecting on why you haven’t been grinding enough to level up?”
The sharpshooter rolled his eyes and ignored her.
The four of them had met in **Godforsaken**, but they had developed a strong bond.
Moreover, Wang Meng had done some background checks on them when he was offline, so he knew more about their real-life situations.
Since everyone’s background checked out, the team could become more permanent.
Wang Meng then said, “We need to find a priest to join us for farming. We’ll do it with five people for now. I have a colleague in the next town, and when someone there hits level 5, she’ll teleport over to join our team.”
Lin Liyu asked curiously, “What about Sister Wang?”
Sister Wang was the middle-aged female priest in their team.
Wang Meng shook his head. “Sister Wang is going to another town to join her son, so we don’t have a priest anymore.”
Unlike Qin Feng, they couldn’t solo farm.
They needed a balanced team with a tank and a healer to grind efficiently.
So, Wang Meng set up a stall.
Instead of selling items, he put up a sign:
[Team Recruiting – Looking for a Priest]
There were many recruitment stalls like his, but with Lin Liyu standing by his side, her golden-tier necklace drew a lot of attention!
Golden-tier equipment?
Some players were skeptical.
But Lin Liyu’s appearance alone attracted several young priests to sign up.
However, as soon as they heard that they had to provide their real-life identities and that the information would be officially registered, they all backed out…
At that moment, a long-haired girl walked up.
It was none other than **Qin Xiaoyou**, the hidden class **Life Priest**, now at level 3!
Qin Xiaoyou spoke politely, “I’m a Life Priest, a hidden class. May I join your team?”
Wang Meng glanced at her, his expression unchanged.
**Life Priest** sounded like a good hidden class.
But he was looking for someone who could stay with them long-term, so he needed to verify her real-life identity…
Qin Xiaoyou didn’t object. She straightforwardly revealed her identity.
“I’m a freshman at Jianghai Normal University. My parents have passed away, and I only have one older brother at home… uh, he’s my foster brother, not a biological one.”
Qin Xiaoyou made sure to clarify that point.
Wang Meng nodded. “Qin Xiaoyou… Alright, you can join the team for now and see how it goes.”
——
[‘Xiaoyou Ah’ has joined the team!]
——
Actually, Qin Xiaoyou had wanted to use **Xiaoyou** as her in-game alias.
But since she joined later, the name was already taken. She didn’t want to add numbers to it, so she added a playful “Ah” at the end.
After joining the team, Qin Xiaoyou smiled slightly.
She couldn’t help but glance at the golden necklace around Lin Liyu’s neck once again…
The first kill of a golden-tier boss had taken place in Shell Town, and the player **Shadow** had claimed it.
That necklace was very likely connected to him!
…
Meanwhile, Qin Feng had no idea about these developments.
In this life, he had risen to power so quickly. Achieving the world’s first golden-tier boss kill had spread his alias **Shadow** across the globe.
His fame had even piqued Qin Xiaoyou’s interest!
At that moment.
Qin Feng continued walking down the passage inside the **Temple of Faith**, soon arriving at a spacious hall.
The hall was empty, except for two humanoid monsters, both kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed, their hands raised above their heads as if holding something up.
The ghostly wails he had heard at the entrance were coming from these two creatures.
——
[Devout Followers of the Ancient God · The Judged (lv10)]
[Tier: Silver]
——
Remaining in stealth, Qin Feng entered the hall.
Seeing the two kneeling followers, he immediately launched **Shadow Slash**!
Breaking stealth! Backstab!
All applicable damage bonuses were triggered, except for weakness attacks.
Weakness attacks were not possible with **Shadow Slash**, as the skill didn’t allow for such precision. However, its high base attack more than compensated for this.
**-1058!**
**-1058!**
…
Seven damage numbers appeared above the heads of the two devout followers.
But their health bars only dropped by about half.
After all, these were level 10 silver-tier bosses, with more than twice the health of the **Cursed One** Qin Feng had previously defeated.
In fact, the combined health of these two devout followers exceeded that of the **Golden Ghost Ship**.
Initially, Qin Feng had prepared to dodge their attacks.
But then…
The two kneeling followers didn’t attack him at all. Instead, they turned toward him and knelt again, as if in worship!
“These two are ‘Judged Ones,’ and I possess the **Authority of Judgment**…”
“Could it be… they won’t attack me?”
A thought crossed Qin Feng’s mind, surprising him.
To test his theory, he deliberately exited stealth mode, keeping a safe distance from the two devout followers…
And as expected, they didn’t attack him!
Instead, they fully prostrated themselves, pressing their upper bodies to the ground in submission!
