Qin Feng noticed two middle-aged men waiting outside for him.
After a brief observation, he dismissed them.
They were just ordinary thugs from the Abandoned Gods Game era, nothing special.
"At this stage, anyone capable of reaching level 10 and extracting abilities wouldn't bother with robbery..."
"Killing a few monsters in the game would yield far more than waiting to rob an unknown player."
The only explanation was...
These guys found it difficult even to kill monsters in the game!
"Currently, there are only about a hundred people in Jianghai City who have reached level 10 and can extract abilities into reality..."
"Many corporations and officials have been stockpiling lifespan and training people in reality."
"However, the real-world limit depends on the in-game power limit."
"No matter how much tradable lifespan they have, they can't exceed the in-game power limit!"
So, as long as Qin Feng maintained an absolute advantage in the game.
He would undoubtedly be the strongest in reality as well.
No matter how much lifespan others could use to extract abilities, those abilities would ultimately be based on in-game power...
Qin Feng shook his head and closed his eyes.
He began extracting abilities.
He calculated first.
"No need to reach level 15 yet."
"Let's extract to level 13 first."
Increasing his real-world level from 11 to 13 consumed 13.7 years and 16.4 years respectively, totaling just over 30 years.
Then came the skills!
——
[You consumed 161.7 years of tradable lifespan to extract the skill 'Gift of Liberation (Mythical)'!]
[You consumed 71.12 years of tradable lifespan to extract the skill 'Assassin's Instinct (Legendary)'!]
[You consumed 36.35 years of tradable lifespan to extract the skill 'Night Ring Blade (Epic-level)'!]
[You consumed 23.71 years of tradable lifespan to extract the skill 'Silent Concealment (Epic-level)'!]
——
Extracting these four skills consumed a total of 292.88 years of Qin Feng's tradable lifespan.
Given the current lifespan-to-cash ratio, each year of lifespan could be sold for twenty million in cash, making these lifespans worth a total of six billion!
"After extracting these skills, I only have two skills left unextracted."
"One is 'Darkest Hour,' which can blind surrounding enemies, and the other is 'Depths of Darkness,' which passively increases stealth level."
The former requires 34.65 years to extract.
The latter requires 73.81 years.
Qin Feng didn't act immediately because...
He needed to extract the Gold-level Mount Bell first, which required 113.89 years of lifespan.
"Extract, Mount Bell!"
After consuming over a hundred years of lifespan to extract the Mount Bell, he was left with only 3.1 years of tradable lifespan.
Lifespan was still not enough!
That's why Qin Feng decided to sell the 'Cathedral Sanctuary' hiding place.
Otherwise, keeping it would only increase its value over time.
"Selling one hiding place doesn't matter much, as I can acquire more."
"The Magic Metropolis ruins are vast, with six large hiding places like the Land of Purification and Cathedral Sanctuary..."
"Currently, they should all be unclaimed."
Qin Feng wasn't particularly familiar with the structure of the Magic Metropolis ruins.
Because in his previous life, he only reached the Magic Metropolis ruins after level 20.
By then, the six large hiding places in the Magic Metropolis had already been occupied by officials and guilds.
As for what Platinum-level BOSS guarded the hiding places, Qin Feng hadn't deliberately learned about it, only hearing some player gossip...
"With my current strength, dealing with a Platinum-level BOSS skill is relatively easy."
"Even if I die once, the Ghostfire Bell has my back, so it's not a big issue."
Of course, these were matters to address after reaching the Magic Metropolis.
In the Abandoned Gods Game, reaching level 15 meant Qin Feng could teleport to the Magic Metropolis ruins!
...
After consuming his lifespan down to just 3.1 years.
Qin Feng finally logged out.
In his rented room.
The two tattooed middle-aged men were holding machetes, smoking, and chatting.
Suddenly, one of them changed his expression: "Wait, this kid logged out..."
When they looked at Qin Feng in the cage, they saw him open his eyes, inexplicably holding a sharp knife...
This knife was something Qin Feng had carried with him since he first returned to reality.
There was no choice; to unleash Assassin-type attack skills, he needed to equip a dagger or short blade!
Since he didn't have enough lifespan to extract in-game weapons, he just carried a knife with him!
The two middle-aged men turned vicious.
Seeing the knife in Qin Feng's hand, they were just about to speak...
Suddenly!
A black blade light flashed around Qin Feng, spreading outward!
The blade light extended from Qin Feng's chest height, spreading in all directions.
Splat!
Splat!
The two middle-aged men didn't even have time to react before the black blade light sliced through their chests...
Their eyes widened as their upper bodies fell to the ground, their machetes clattering to the floor!
However, this wasn't the most terrifying part.
The most terrifying part was when Qin Feng unleashed the 'Night Ring Blade,' the dark blade light cut through everything within a 12-meter radius!
The cage that trapped Qin Feng was sliced into two halves with a single stroke!
Even the walls of the room showed sharp cracks!
The entire room...
Was cut in half!
Splat!
In the next room, a burly man pressing down on the landlady had his head sliced off, flying into the air.
"Ah—"
The landlady screamed!
Because she was lying on the bed, she narrowly avoided Qin Feng's horizontal slash.
Originally, she knew these big shots in society and let them come over to find a chance to rob Qin Feng.
But she never expected that while the big shot was on top of her, his head would suddenly fly off!
She was splattered with blood, instinctively screaming in horror.
But soon, her screams were abruptly cut off.
Because Qin Feng followed up with a Venomous Dart through the wall, hitting her head and sending her to the afterlife!
...
In a common inn in Jianghai City.
With a flash of black blade light, the entire third floor of the inn was sliced in half.
The upper part of the building gradually slid down, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust...
In the dark night.
An invisible figure rode a similarly invisible Ghostly Night Wolf, leaping high towards the east.
Inside the inn, four flowers of death bloomed.
Scarlet and eerie.
They drained the blood and bones of the four corpses, leaving not a drop behind!
And the commotion here didn't attract much attention.
Because...
Jianghai City was filled with explosions, sirens, and even gunshots, with chaos everywhere!
