- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 52
The person who arrived was a shooter.
Qin Feng had encountered him once before, back in Shell Town… He was the same young shooter who was with Jiang Li, codenamed ‘Lao Mao.’
Originally, Jiang Li had offered Qin Feng 10 million to help him level up, but Qin Feng refused.
In the end, Lao Mao contacted Jiang Li himself and helped him level up…
Thinking he could earn a hefty sum of 5 million.
But when he went to collect the money, he was tied up tightly by Dajiang Industry’s thugs and taken to the basement of a villa, where he was locked away!
Thus, Mao Lijun was coerced and forced to work for Dajiang Industry in exchange for his life.
If he didn’t turn in enough lifespan, he wouldn’t be given food or water!
Mao Lijun was practically in tears.
Only then did he understand why “Shadow” had refused the 10 million—it was sheer foresight.
This was literally life or death!
After being kidnapped by Dajiang Industry, Mao Lijun surrendered.
He even became Jiang Li’s lackey, pulling two more people into Jiang Li’s service…
And now!
He was carrying out Jiang Li’s mission, waiting for “Shadow” here in Firefly Town!
“Shadow.”
Lao Mao, dressed in green leather armor, approached Qin Feng’s stall, gave him a glance, and grinned. “Our lady said that if you’re willing to help her level up, she’ll give you 300 million, plus shares in Dajiang Industry!”
“How many chances like this come in life? I advise you to seize the opportunity!”
Hearing Mao Lijun’s words, Qin Feng looked at him as if he were an idiot.
This guy probably didn’t know that Jiang Li was already dead, did he?
Qin Feng only said one word: “Scram.”
“??”
Mao Lijun stood frozen.
He couldn’t believe that 300 million, plus shares in Dajiang Industry, wasn’t enough to move Shadow?
Though he was reluctant, he left, tail between his legs.
He had just heard that Shadow had killed Song Fei in real life, and did it silently!
How could he dare stay and talk any further?
But…
He only knew that Song Fei was dead—he still didn’t know that Jiang Li was dead too!
After all, he had been imprisoned in reality and had no access to outside information.
In the God Forsaken game, all he had heard from others was gossip about Song Fei’s death.
As for Jiang Li…
Who was she?
After Mao Lijun left, he wasn’t entirely resigned. He still wanted to find a way to bring Shadow over, knowing full well that if he failed his mission, he would be whipped…
Just then, he overheard a few people whispering nearby.
“Man, Shadow actually showed up. Didn’t he just kill Song Fei?”
“Not just Song Fei, I heard there was a young beauty who also got killed by him…”
“What? Isn’t that such a waste?”
“Waste? My ass… They say that woman was Dajiang Industry’s eldest daughter, named Jiang Li. She had planned to capture Shadow in real life and take his lifespan, but instead, she got killed on the spot!”
“Hiss… How did Shadow pull that off?”
“Who knows. It must have something to do with the God Forsaken game… This world is about to change, we need to level up fast…”
…
“What?! Jiang Li is dead?!”
Hearing their conversation, Mao Lijun felt like he had been struck by lightning!
He stood there, utterly stunned.
Song Fei’s death didn’t affect him much—after all, he had no real connection to Song Fei and was far removed from him.
But Jiang Li…
She was a woman Mao Lijun feared!
“In such a short time, Shadow killed both Song Fei and Jiang Li?”
“And did it as an assassination?”
Mao Lijun felt a shiver run down his spine.
Shadow!
He had once laughed at Shadow for being foolish, for not taking the easy 10 million, but now… the real fool turned out to be him!
“Good thing I didn’t provoke Shadow…”
Mao Lijun was terrified!
Death had once seemed so distant to him.
But he never could have imagined that the once untouchable and high-and-mighty Jiang Li would be taken down just like that!
With one last glance at Qin Feng’s figure, Mao Lijun, trembling, hurriedly fled…
…
Qin Feng didn’t pay much attention to Mao Lijun’s appearance.
To him, it was just a minor episode.
As he set up his stall, he noticed that the players in Firefly Town were all somewhat fearful of him. Some of the girls even avoided walking past him, clearly terrified of catching his attention…
It seemed that many people had already learned that Song Fei was killed by him…
But Qin Feng didn’t care.
“By now, the older generation should have entered the game.”
“Though they’re all allocated to the smaller towns, so I won’t be seeing them here.”
“In another two hours, others will start reaching level 10. By then, I can prepare to head for the mainland.”
Qin Feng wasn’t in a rush.
Before heading to the Abandoned Continent of the Gods, he could spend some time in the starting town, gathering a full set of gold and platinum gear.
After all, once he left, he’d have a lot more to do!
Before long, two players dressed in black robes approached Qin Feng’s stall.
“I have the coordinates for a silver BOSS…”
…
Meanwhile, while Qin Feng was busy farming more BOSSes, in the neighboring city of Jianghai—Magic City!
Jianghai City had a total population of over eight million.
But Magic City’s population was 35 million!
So far, Jianghai City’s starting towns had numbered over 700, with more than 700,000 players entering the God Forsaken game… This number would surge at night, rapidly surpassing five million, as more adults entered the game.
By comparison, Magic City had an even larger population.
The starting towns in the Magic City region numbered over 4,000 and were rapidly increasing!
In one of the starting towns in the Magic City region, there was a team that attracted quite a bit of attention.
At its center was a woman dressed in windburnt leather armor, walking with five foreign men—three with white skin and two with dark skin.
This woman laughed and joked with all five of them, appearing quite close to them!
She was none other than Qian Shishi, the daughter of the chairman of Qian Group!
Originally, Qian Shishi had planned to fly to North America… but with the arrival of the God Forsaken game, flights were grounded.
So, she connected with these five foreign men and entered the God Forsaken game together.
Quickly, she used the Group’s funds to buy a significant amount of lifespan, which she then exchanged for equipment and skill books, boosting her strength as well as that of the five foreign men.
At that moment.
Qian Shishi strolled through the town with the five men, casting a disdainful glance at the players who avoided her. She sneered, “Look at these Xia men, They’re all as weak as bugs. Tony, men from North America like you have so much more charm…”
Beside her, a white man with slicked-back hair, ‘Tony,’ laughed and said, “Miss Qian, you have great taste. Of course, we’re much stronger than these Xia men. We’re also strong in other ways. Once we’re back in the real world, you’ll be able to experience that firsthand.”
Qian Shishi giggled playfully, “OK~ I’m looking forward to it…”
At that moment, a thought crossed her mind.
“Oh, by the way.”
Qian Shishi suddenly said with a casual tone, “I just heard that that useless fool Song Fei got killed? I played with him once before—he was done in a minute. What a waste…”
“The Shadow from Jianghai City was able to kill Song Fei. So asking him to kill an ordinary person should be even easier, right?”
“Gentlemen, I’m going to log off for a moment and make a call. I’ll have someone reach out to Shadow and ask him to kill someone for me in Jianghai City!”
The person she wanted dead…
Was none other than Qin Feng!
After all, Qin Feng had repeatedly turned down her ‘invitation to play,’ which completely embarrassed her and left her feeling annoyed.
In her mind, any Xia man she took an interest in should feel honored!
He was just an employee from a subsidiary company.
And he dared to reject her?
“If you’re not going to show me respect, then you can go die. Of course, spending a lot of money to kill you is a waste, but the real point is to use this opportunity to connect with Shadow… Even though he’s just a Xia man, he’s still the world’s number one. I might as well make his acquaintance~”
Qian Shishi’s lips curled into a self-satisfied smile, thinking she had everything under control.
But…
What she didn’t know was that the person she wanted dead, Qin Feng, was actually Shadow himself!
Hiring Shadow to assassinate Qin Feng… This was like ordering him to kill himself!
…
Of course, Qin Feng had no idea about any of this.
While he was preparing to hunt down more BOSSes…
On the other side, Qin Xiaoyou, who had been rejected by Qin Feng after trying to give him gifts, had fallen into an ’emo’ state.
She had planned to sever all ties with Qin Feng and attach herself to Shadow.
But…
Things were turning out completely different from what she had imagined!
