When Qin Feng saw the "Swift Runner," he instinctively glanced at his own agility.
Thanks to the class bonus from Shadow and the agility addition from the Bronze-level "Corrosive Dagger," Qin Feng's agility attribute had now reached 34 points.
In the Abandoned Gods Game, doubling agility doesn't mean your movement speed will double. Instead, there's a related calculation formula.
"With an initial 10 points of agility, normal speed is about 3 meters per second, and full sprint can reach 9.5 meters per second."
"With my current 34 points of agility, normal speed is 5.83 meters per second, and full sprint is 17 to 18 meters per second."
Qin Feng's speed now was almost double that of some new players! Even so, it was just barely comparable to the speed of the "Swift Runner."
"That's enough."
"I can catch up to the Swift Runner, no need to worry about it escaping."
Qin Feng hid in the shadows, looking ahead.
He noticed that the Swift Runner was chasing aplayer team.
Leading the team was a burly man holding a low-quality shield, fending off the Swift Runner's attacks while retreating.
This burly man was none other than Wang Meng, the second-ranked player in Shell Town!
Behind him were five players with hidden classes, all with serious expressions as they cast skills to attack the Swift Runner.
Unfortunately...
Whether it was the Archer or the Mage, the two ranged classes, a man and a woman, found it difficult to hit the Swift Runner!
The Swift Runner darted left and right, using its decayed claws and sharp teeth, quickly reducing Wang Meng's health, who was of the Holy Shield Battle class, to half.
It's important to note that the Holy Shield Battle class has a high base toughness.
Its health and defense are over 30% higher than other novice players.
The team had leveled up to level 2 with Wang Meng leading the charge, without encountering too much danger.
But now...
Facing this Bronze-level BOSS Swift Runner, Wang Meng was clearly struggling.
In contrast, the Swift Runner still had at least 90% of its health!
At this moment, the young man in Wang Meng's team, the "Sharp Eyed Archer," missed two more attacks, his expression grim: "No good, this BOSS is too fast, it's hard to hit with ranged attacks!"
Wang Meng remained calm: "Just keep attacking. Even if we can't kill it, we can wear it down and come back to finish it off after reviving."
Unfortunately, Wang Meng's plan was a bit too optimistic.
As the battle stalemated, other monsters appeared in the nearby woods!
——
[Polluter (Lv2)]
[Grade: Common]
——
These were level 2 common monsters, also humanoid, but covered in dark brown sludge, and they were ranged attackers.
In the woods, three Polluters appeared, launching sludge attacks at the rear of Wang Meng's team!
Splat!
A beautiful girl with a staff, with an excellent figure, was suddenly hit in the chest by a blob of sludge.
The heavy impact made the waves on her black robe ripple violently...
-32!
"Ugh, so stinky!"
The beautiful girl felt a wave of stench hit her, extremely nauseating.
And this was just the beginning.
Blobs of sludge began flying rapidly towards the backline of the team!
The speed of the sludge projectiles was so fast that they couldn't dodge.
The key issue was...
There was still the Bronze-level BOSS "Swift Runner" in front of them!
If they ran around to avoid the ranged attacks, Wang Meng wouldn't be able to shield them from the Swift Runner... if they got attacked by the Swift Runner, they'd be dead in a few hits.
For a moment, Wang Meng's team of six was in a precarious situation.
The entire team's health was dropping rapidly!
...
"Wang Meng."
Qin Feng squinted, observing the team.
To be honest, he knew this person.
Of course, not now.
But before his rebirth.
At that time, Qin Feng was one of the top 100 global powerhouses, though he was at the tail end of the top 100, but still, he was just an ordinary "Warrior" class.
Achieving this feat with a common class was already legendary.
Countless people idolized Qin Feng.
Among them was Wang Meng.
After all...
Wang Meng was of the hidden class "Holy Shield Battle," with class bonuses and skills far superior to Qin Feng's ordinary Warrior.
Yet Wang Meng's combat power couldn't match Qin Feng's.
This made him very respectful of Qin Feng.
As for how they knew each other, it was because Wang Meng was the representative of Great Xia's official side, collaborating with Qin Feng's "God Slayer" guild.
Qin Feng would hand over any extra equipment or skill books he acquired to Wang Meng if the guild didn't need them, selling them to Great Xia's official side in exchange for tradeable lifespan.
"In my previous life, I formed a guild to better protect Qin Xiaoyou."
"In this life, it's no longer necessary!"
"However... Wang Meng is still someone worth befriending."
Qin Feng now planned to convert all extra equipment and skill books into tradeable lifespan to enhance himself.
Therefore, finding a stable sales channel was crucial.
Wang Meng was a reliable person, and the Great Xia official side he represented had sufficient "financial resources."
"Anyway, these monsters need to be killed."
"In that case, I'll lend him a hand first..."
Qin Feng didn't plan to abruptly make contact with the other party.
Leaving an impression was enough.
He assessed the situation and quickly moved to the back of one of the "Polluters."
Suddenly launching a surprise attack!
This Polluter was frantically throwing sludge at the beautiful girl with the staff, completely unaware of the Assassin behind it.
The Corrosive Dagger turned into a flash of cold light, striking the back of the Polluter's neck!
-441 (Weak Point Attack)!
A fatal blow!
The Polluter instantly turned into a puddle of sludge, spilling onto the charred ground.
——
[You have killed a "Polluter (Lv2)."]
[You have gained 20 experience points.]
[You have gained 1 Evolution Point!]
[You have gained 4 days of lifespan (tradeable).]
——
The system prompt in his mind surprised Qin Feng a bit; getting an Evolution Point from this small monster was lucky!
He casually activated "Greedy Hand."
——
[Skill "Greedy Hand" successfully activated!]
[You have gained 4 days of lifespan (tradeable).]
——
"Unfortunately, no Evolution Points."
The probability of getting Evolution Points from common small monsters is low.
And the extra reward from Greedy Hand is an additional drop roll, equivalent to Qin Feng killing another identical monster, rather than duplicating the reward.
So not getting Evolution Points is normal.
"Only by killing BOSSes can I have a stable income of Evolution Points!"
After taking down one Polluter, Qin Feng wasn't in a hurry.
Before the monsters and players on the field could react, he had already gone back into stealth mode.
"Who?!"
Seeing a Polluter suddenly collapse into sludge, Wang Meng and his team were stunned.
They only saw a black figure flash by, and the Polluter fell instantly!
"How is this possible?"
"Even a level 1 Crawler takes us over ten seconds to kill, and this level 2 Polluter was instantly killed by someone?"
For a moment, Wang Meng's team of six was utterly shocked!
