- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 43
Although Qin Feng in this life wasn’t afraid of the Daxia government, there was no need to make enemies either.
After all, the gear and skill books he got from grinding monsters would still need to be sold through official channels for the fastest returns.
Establishing a long-term partnership was far more profitable than just pulling off a one-time heist for some extra lifespan.
Who knew how much lifespan that woman actually had on her?
If he killed her and only got a few days of lifespan, it would be a total loss!
So, Qin Feng simply nodded and didn’t say much.
After dumping Gu Yixue into the other team’s party, he turned and left to continue grinding levels.
He glanced at his experience bar—he was still a third away from level 10.
“If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll hit level 10 in less than half an hour and then extract my abilities in the real world!”
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After being dismissed from Wang Meng’s team, Qin Xiaoyou logged off for a bit.
Thanks to Wang Meng, she now had nearly 200 days of tradable lifespan and planned to sell it for cash.
After all, the current exchange rate was 15,000 yuan per day of lifespan!
Of course, she was tempted!
However, when she returned to reality and habitually opened her WeChat group, she saw news that shocked her and was hard to accept.
“Oh my God, *Shadow* killed Brother Song Fei?”
“And he killed him three times?!”
Qin Xiaoyou was completely stunned.
Having teamed up with Wang Meng for a while, she knew that in *Godforsaken*, the concept of “lifespan” was real!
Once a person’s lifespan hit zero, they would die!
So…
Upon learning that Song Fei had been killed three times in a row, she felt like her heart was being torn apart.
“Even if he had 100 years of non-tradable lifespan, after dying three times, he’s only left with a little over twelve years…”
“But why would *Shadow* kill Brother Song Fei?”
Qin Xiaoyou couldn’t figure it out.
Originally, she had been 100% on Song Fei’s side.
But now…
Her heart was torn.
After all, she felt like she had a chance to build a connection with *Shadow*…
“Big Bro *Shadow* was the first in the world to kill a golden-tier BOSS.”
“And from the chat in the group, it seems he killed Song Fei three times while being surrounded by dozens of people…”
“His strength is terrifying.”
“Besides… Song Fei just entered the game, and he’s already hanging out with so many girls?”
Qin Xiaoyou felt a sense of jealousy, like being left out of a party.
This made her feel some resentment toward Song Fei…
But no matter how she felt, having been a fan of Song Fei for so long, her emotions were now conflicted.
Song Fei or *Shadow*—which one should she choose?
After being dismissed by Wang Meng and hearing the news about Song Fei being killed three times, Qin Xiaoyou was in a terrible mood.
“Screw it, I’ll just go sell my lifespan first.”
Originally, Qin Xiaoyou had planned to contact her classmate Zhang Wei.
Because Zhang Wei had previously dealt with the Qian Corporation and sold tradable lifespan in person at a 1:15,000 ratio.
But then she saw a message in Song Fei’s WeChat fan group from one of the admins.
“Brother Song Fei needs help right now!”
“Anyone in Jianghai City can go to him and sell him tradable lifespan!”
“The rate is 1:10,000! Sisters, this is your chance to make money and help Brother Song Fei at the same time!”
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyou couldn’t help herself.
“Brother Song Fei is at Da Jiang Plaza?”
“No, I can’t just stand by and watch Brother Song Fei’s lifespan drain away…”
Clenching her teeth, Qin Xiaoyou decided that even if she had to take a loss, she would sell her lifespan to Song Fei!
…
Meanwhile, Qin Feng’s assassination plan was already close to being set in motion.
He was in the advanced monster area of Firefly Town, grinding non-stop, just a sliver of experience away from level 10!
Each starter town was located on an island surrounded by the sea.
The town itself was in the center of the island, and the closer you got to the coastline, the higher the level of the monsters.
With Qin Feng’s speed and damage output, he quickly made his way to the island’s coastline, slaughtering the level 10 monsters along the shore!
There were *Tidecallers* casting water element spells.
There were *Burrowers*, who could dig into the ground and ambush from anywhere.
And there were *Scarlet Shellbacks*, creatures that looked like lobsters and were covered in armor.
None of these monsters could withstand even one of Qin Feng’s skills. They all turned into experience, evolution points, and lifespan for him!
Though he hadn’t encountered any bosses along the way…
Half an hour later, with the help of his epic-tier *Hand of Greed*, Qin Feng had already gathered a substantial number of evolution points!
Looking at his status panel with 13 evolution points, Qin Feng opened his skill screen.
He upgraded *Backstab Enhancement* once.
——
[You have consumed 13 evolution points. Remaining points: 0.]
[Initial Skill: Backstab Enhancement (Platinum → Emerald). Passive Effect: Attacks from behind now deal 40% → 50% more damage.]
——
From the original 10% backstab damage boost to the current 50%, the effect of this skill had become increasingly significant.
Then, with one *Shadow Flash*, Qin Feng killed two more *Scarlet Shellbacks*, finally leveling up to 10!
——
[Congratulations, you have reached level 10!]
[All four of your basic stats have increased by 2!]
[You have gained 5 free attribute points!]
[You have unlocked *Class Advancement*!]
[You are the first player in Jianghai City to reach level 10. You have earned 7 Reputation Points!]
[You are the first player in Daxia to reach level 10. You have earned 14 Reputation Points!]
[You are the first player globally to reach level 10. You have earned 21 Reputation Points!]
(Once seven players in Jianghai City reach level 10, the teleportation function to the Godforsaken Continent will be unlocked!)
——
The first level 10 player in the world!
Even though Qin Feng had spent three hours exploring the temple, he was still the first globally.
After all, he was soloing and killing monsters in an instant. His efficiency was far beyond anyone else.
At this stage, even top-tier teams like Wang Meng’s needed at least half a minute to kill a single monster, and the experience had to be split among the team members. How could they possibly compete with Qin Feng’s leveling speed?
Globally, the highest level aside from Qin Feng was only level 8!
“Just like last time.”
“In the previous life, it wasn’t until the evening that the first level 10 player appeared, and it was a North American player…”
Qin Feng smiled slightly.
Right now, most players were struggling.
Many teams couldn’t even kill basic monsters, suffering countless wipeouts.
There weren’t many who could level up steadily.
Let alone farm monsters efficiently.
And as soon as Qin Feng reached level 10, a server-wide announcement was triggered, sparking yet another wave of global discussion!
