"However, the BOSS needs some time to evolve."
"Since no one can kill that BOSS right now, I'll just give it some time to evolve..."
"Let's head back and sort out some stuff first."
Qin Feng glanced at his backpack.
Currently at level 3 and a half, his 10-slot backpack was already full.
It was filled with equipment and skill books that didn't belong to his class.
For Qin Feng, these items were useless and best exchanged for [Tradeable Lifespan].
But for other players in Shell Town, these were valuable items that could significantly boost their strength.
Take the Mage skill book 'Icicle Spell' for example.
Once learned, this skill could slow down targets upon hitting them, and even had a chance to freeze them... Of course, BOSSes had high control resistance, making it hard to control them.
But for dealing with small monsters, it was definitely a powerful tool.
On his way back to Shell Town, Qin Feng saw many people being chased to death by Crawlers...
His face showed no expression.
This situation was common in the early stages of the game.
It wouldn't take long for people to realize that to deal with this, they just needed to increase their Agility.
With high Agility and speed, they wouldn't be chased to death, no matter how many Crawlers came after them.
Moreover, if Crawlers tried to escape, they could be hunted down with speed!
This was why Qin Feng focused on increasing his Agility.
As Qin Feng approached the safe zone of Shell Town, he finally stopped using stealth.
However...
He pulled up the system panel and activated the 'Face Concealment' function.
In the Abandoned Gods Game, players' appearances were the same as in reality and couldn't be adjusted.
"In reality, I'm still an ordinary person and haven't extracted any abilities yet."
"I can't expose my identity."
Qin Feng was well aware of this.
Once his identity was exposed, given his current status as number one in Shell Town, trouble would definitely come knocking, even putting his life at risk!
This kind of thing...
He had seen it many times in his previous life.
After activating the 'Face Concealment' function, a layer of impenetrable black veil covered his face.
He was wearing the initial black robe, brown 'Swift Leather Greaves' on his legs, and 'Rotten Skin Boots' on his feet. Beneath the black veil, only his cold eyes were visible!
...
In Shell Town, players from Jianghai City wore worried expressions.
They wanted to reach level 3 and return to reality.
But now, they couldn't even kill a single Crawler. Once encountered, they came in groups, leaving them helpless.
So, they all crowded inside Shell Town, constantly discussing solutions.
When Qin Feng returned.
His cold demeanor instantly drew the attention of the surrounding players.
The greaves, shoes, and the 'Corrosive Dagger' in his hand were obviously equipment dropped by wild monsters outside.
Especially the dagger and greaves, which emitted a faint bronze glow.
Clearly, they were Bronze-grade equipment!
"Who is this guy? Acting so cool?"
"With two pieces of Bronze equipment, wouldn't you act cool too?"
"Wow, could this be the number one on the leaderboard, the Shadow master?"
"Damn, it really seems like it! Master, someone is offering ten million RMB for you to help them level up!"
"Master, I don't need you to help me, but I can give you a hundred thousand if you just tell me how you soloed..."
"Master, I've died four times already. As long as you're willing to help me, I'll do anything. I'm still a newbie..."
In no time, many people gathered around.
Some wanted Qin Feng to help them level up, while others asked how he soloed.
Unfortunately, Qin Feng ignored them all.
He walked straight to the town's central square, sat down by a dilapidated flower bed, and opened the stall function, displaying ten pieces of equipment and skill books.
Shop name: [Equipment and Skills Sale, Only for Ten Minutes, First Come First Served]
There were many people in the town now.
Qin Feng estimated that ten minutes would be enough.
As soon as the stall was set up, it immediately attracted everyone around!
"Master, it's really the Shadow master!"
"Awesome! The master is actually selling equipment, and there are even two pieces of Bronze equipment!"
"Did he kill a Bronze-level BOSS? I heard that Bronze-level Curser killed Yellow Haired Youth and over thirty others!"
"Yeah, such a powerful Bronze BOSS, can anyone really kill it at this stage?"
Players from all over gathered.
Soon, a woman in a gray robe, accompanied by her teammates, approached.
Her figure was alluring, with a perfect S-curve, a proud chest, and long, beautiful legs that made it hard to look away...
"How much for this Icicle Spell?"
The gray-robed woman glanced at it and immediately asked with pursed lips.
Like Qin Feng, she had also activated the face concealment function.
But Qin Feng recognized her.
This woman should be 'Gray Rose', currently ranked 11th in Shell Town.
She was wearing a low-quality robe dropped by ordinary monsters, which matched her code name quite well...
Qin Feng glanced at her and said, "100 days of tradeable lifespan."
Gray Rose frowned slightly, "A hundred days? That's too much, I can't afford it. Can it be cheaper?"
Qin Feng shook his head, too lazy to speak.
The Common-level skill 'Icicle Spell' could greatly enhance the early game monster farming speed for mages, and a hundred days was already very cheap.
Gray Rose then asked, "Can I pay with cash?"
Qin Feng replied indifferently, "If you have a lot of cash, you can buy lifespan from others first, then trade with me. If no one offers a higher price, I can hold the item for you."
Gray Rose bit her lip lightly, "Wait a moment."
She took her teammates aside and chatted in the team channel for a while...
Half a minute later.
Gray Rose returned to Qin Feng, "Alright, 100 days of lifespan, let's trade."
Qin Feng had accumulated a total of 268 days of lifespan so far.
And Gray Rose, having reached level 2, must have led her team to kill at least thirty or forty Crawlers.
However, the tradeable lifespan dropped by Crawlers was evenly split between her and her teammates...
At this moment, Gray Rose gathered all the tradeable lifespan from her team to purchase the 'Icicle Spell', allowing for faster development.
——
[You have sold 'Icicle Spell (Skill Book)', and you have gained 100 days of tradeable lifespan!]
[Tradeable Lifespan: 268 days → 368 days!]
——
Just as the transaction was completed, a group of people roughly pushed through the crowd and approached Qin Feng.
Leading them was a ponytailed girl in a black short-sleeve, known as Sister Pear, code-named 'Pressure'!
This girl had obviously torn off the sleeves of the system-given initial black robe, turning it into a short-sleeve, giving her a lively and refreshing look...
"Shadow?"
The young lady looked down at Qin Feng, who was sitting by the flower bed, and arrogantly said, "I'll give you a chance, just help me reach level 3. Once back in reality, I'll give you ten million RMB. My dad is the chairman of Grand River Industries, so don't worry about me not being able to pay!"
Her words caused an uproar.
Ten million!
Just to help her reach level 3!
The people around were shocked!
"That's too good to be true, right?"
"For the Shadow master, helping someone reach level 3 shouldn't be difficult!"
"Exactly, it's an easy ten million..."
But to everyone's surprise.
Qin Feng, sitting by the flower bed, glanced at the short-sleeved girl without any emotional fluctuation: "I refuse."
