“Could it be that someone is coming to bring me a gift?”

"Finally, the fourth advancement."

"Next, I can start accumulating experience to reach level 30."

Qin Feng toyed with the two daggers in his hands, a smile appearing on his face.

At level 30, I can unlock my second Bloodline, and my combat power will skyrocket once again!

For the current Qin Feng, this leveling process would take about a week.

Just after one week, it will be around the time of the first Desolation Spreads…

As for Qin Feng, he was already prepared.

After the Desolation Spreads, monsters will emerge in many regions across the globe, and many areas will turn into 'Rage Zone' with a hundredfold Lifespan flow rate, no longer suitable for survival.

Even most regions will turn into 'Turbulent Zones' with a tenfold Lifespan flow rate.

The most terrifying point is…

The Lifespan flow rate of the area where a player is located in reality and the area where they are in the game will be multiplied!

For example, if a player is in a Rage Zone in reality, and they also enter a Rage Zone in the game… that is 100 times multiplied by 100 times, equivalent to a ten-thousand-fold Lifespan flow rate!

"With the first Desolation Spreads, human habitable areas will be directly reduced by half!"

"About 15% of the land area will become Rage Zones."

"And another 35% of the land area will become Turbulent Zones."

"Although in the later stages, even a Turbulent Zone with a tenfold Lifespan flow rate will be a very rare 'prime location'…"

"But at this stage, players in those areas will definitely try to find a way to leave and head to Mild Zones with normal Lifespan flow rates."

This was the first major Chaos to sweep across the globe.

Even in China, known for its stability, too many bloody conflicts occurred because of this, to the point where even the Great Xia Government could barely suppress them!

Just one instance of Desolation Spreads had compressed the human living environment by half.

Land, already precious, became even more valuable.

By that time…

The true apocalypse will begin!

And because Turbulent Zones and Rage Zones will isolate modern communication facilities and electromagnetic signals, it will lead to the end of the original globalized information age!

Things like the internet and forums will basically disappear entirely after the first Desolation Spreads.

Replacing them will be a new type of communication network born from the God Forsaken Game's 'friend system'.

And the 'Heavenly Serpent' organization in North America was officially established by taking advantage of this Chaos…

"No need to think about that much for now."

Qin Feng shook his head.

Anyway, the place where he extracted the 'Soul Purification Land' in reality was a region that remained a 'Mild Zone' until the very end in his previous life.

One can imagine that after the first Desolation Spreads, people will definitely come to the beach where the Soul Purification Land is located, attempting to build a home there.

But unfortunately.

Before that, Qin Feng will have already extracted the 'Evil Spirit Academy' Hideout into reality.

And it will be covered directly above the 'Soul Purification Land'.

"I still need to make the defenses of the Evil Spirit Academy even more impregnable."

Although in the game, this Evil Spirit Academy is built in a volcanic region, with magma as energy, which can ensure the infinite recovery of the defense barrier's energy.

But that won't be the case once extracted into reality.

Qin Feng can only enhance the Evil Spirit Academy's defense barrier through higher-level Books of Divine Empowerment.

"Fortunately, with Big Eyes here, combined with its 'Counterattack Barrier', it is enough to ensure that the Evil Spirit Academy can stand firm in reality as well!"

…

At this moment.

After Qin Feng completed his fourth job advancement.

He rode Osirio, flying back leisurely towards the Magic City Ruins, planning to take a trip to the Guanggang Ruins.

He remembered that outside the Guanggang Ruins, there was a relatively nearby High-Level Divine Authority Tower.

"After challenging that Tower of Divine Authority, I can purchase five brand-new Books of Divine Empowerment."

"Defense barrier, teleportation array, light and shadow crystal, Teleportation Stone, and the 'Life Source Array'!"

This can basically meet Qin Feng's needs at his current stage.

The so-called 'Life Source Array' is a necessity for future survival.

As long as there is a Life Source Array within the Hideout, Lifespan can be converted into various types of energy at a higher ratio…

For example, electrical energy, thermal energy, light energy, and so on.

It can even be linked to the Hideout's defense barrier.

A normal Hideout defense barrier, once attacked, can use 1 day of Lifespan to restore 1000 points of durability.

But with a 'Life Source Array', the consumption is reduced by dozens or even hundreds of times!

By then, 1 day of Lifespan can restore several tens of thousands, or even several hundreds of thousands of durability; the exact amount depends on the materials and quality of the Life Source Array.

The higher the quality of the Magic Circle Keystone, the rarer it is, and it cannot be obtained through the Book of Divine Empowerment.

Either purchase it from an NPC in the game, which is extremely expensive.

Or search for it in the Turbulent or Rage Zones of the real Blue Star, trying one's luck.

Of course, under the current environment of Blue Star, no high-quality Magic Circle Keystones can be born. If one really wants to get the best in one go, they still have to buy the really good stuff from NPCs…

The Lifespan consumed would then be calculated in units of 'ten thousand years'.

Thus.

Before Qin Feng headed to the Guanggang Ruins, he opened his friend list and had a private chat with 'A Wisp of Smoke'.

He asked her if there were any Emerald-grade or Diamond BOSSes, he could help fight them.

As a result…

It actually gave Qin Feng a bit of a pleasant surprise!

A Wisp of Smoke: "Um, Great God, it's like this… regarding Emerald-grade BOSSes, we have already planned to pioneer them ourselves; we can't keep troubling you, otherwise everyone won't get any training…"

"However, regarding a Diamond BOSS, we do have some news, but that BOSS is a bit strange, and we aren't sure if you can handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng did not feel surprised.

For most players, although Emerald-grade BOSSes are almost impossible to overcome.

But for some top-tier teams, they are still able to give it a try.

The Government's intention is likely to train some top-tier teams more; if they always rely on Qin Feng, they themselves won't feel secure.

"A somewhat strange Diamond BOSS?"

Qin Feng was a bit curious: "How is it strange?"

To be honest, he felt that currently, there was no Diamond BOSS in this game that he couldn't defeat.

Although he hadn't yet secured the first kill of an Epic BOSS, in Qin Feng's eyes, Diamond BOSSes no longer posed any threat; it was just that these BOSSes were rare, and it wasn't that easy for Qin Feng to find targets to kill.

"Ahem."

A Wisp of Smoke said a bit embarrassedly: "That BOSS is a female, but she is especially good at charming males… In our Guanggang, over a hundred male players have already been seduced by her and have become her lackeys."

"There's such a thing?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment.

A Wisp of Smoke: "Yes, we didn't know either, until our team passed by… Only Brother Jie and I managed to escape; the other four male teammates were all charmed. You see, if you don't think you can handle it, then forget it."

Good grief.

A Wisp of Smoke is not male, so it's normal that she escaped.

Brother Jie could actually escape too?

It's clear that this guy really doesn't like girls!

"It's fine, send me the coordinates, and I'll go take a look in a while."

Qin Feng carefully recalled.

He couldn't find any memories related to this matter, but theoretically speaking, even among Superior Affixes, there is no such affix as 'Charm'.

To be able to make people become devoted lackeys…

This must involve the level of Order or even rules.

"I'll ask Big Eyes when I get back."

"If I can take down this BOSS, I'll have enough Evolution Points—3000 points—to evolve the 'Abyss Wither Curse' to Ancient-Grade."

Qin Feng made his decision and immediately flew back to the Evil Spirit Academy.

…

It was also at this time.

Just over a thousand kilometers northeast of the Magic City Ruins.

That young summoner, having been summoning minions all the way to lure the Epic BOSS 'Great Calamity Underworld King', was getting closer and closer to the Magic City Ruins.

"Almost there, almost there!"

"Shadow, are you really that strong? Kill an Epic BOSS and let me see it?"

"Hahahaha…"

And the twenty-meter-tall skeleton being 'lured' over by him dragged its giant bone sword and sneered coldly!

In its skeletal eye sockets, faint black flames were burning, lingering without fading.

"To leave this damn place, I must survive for ten years…"

"Currently, I am only a level 30 Epic BOSS and cannot hold on for that long. Once these Blue Star Civilization players all reach level 30, I will have no way out…"

"The only way is to take this opportunity to slaughter players and break through to Legendary, Mythic, or even… Ancient-Grade!"

"Fortunately, my initial level is 30, so I can go to Mild Zones, otherwise I wouldn't have this opportunity."

As a BOSS, although it possessed self-awareness, it also had to abide by the rules set by the God Forsaken Game.

Thus…

The Great Calamity Underworld King's black-flame pupils looked into the distance: "Blue Star human players, I hope my arrival can bring you a surprise, hehehe!"

Just at this moment.

Qin Feng, riding Osirio, flew back to the Evil Spirit Academy.

Just as he was about to find Big Eyes to ask about the BOSS situation in Guanggang, suddenly, Qin Feng sneezed.

"Achoo!"

"With this Constitution, I can still sneeze? That's not right."

"Could it be that someone is coming to bring me a gift?"
