Even if it’s a subordinate, it has to be a capable one!

Despicable!

Shameless!

Matsushita Xingyue was on the verge of tears; she never imagined that Shadow would threaten her like this!

"You know, I have the ability to do it."

Qin Feng toyed with the White Sprout Blade: "Now, whether your country continues to exist or seeks its own destruction depends entirely on your hands."

"I…"

Matsushita Xingyue's throat felt dry: "Even if I listen to you, can I really change the outcome? Once you've used me, it will only be easier for you to wipe us out…"

Hearing this, Qin Feng said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'm very easy to talk to. I'm only after wealth, not lives."

"…"

Hearing this, Matsushita Xingyue immediately understood Qin Feng's thoughts and muttered in a low voice, "In this era where the God Forsaken Game has descended, seeking wealth is the same as seeking lives, isn't it? After all, the wealth of this era is lifespan…"

"That seems correct when you put it that way."

Qin Feng smiled.

The young girl's words actually made quite a bit of sense.

However, the concepts of wanting 'lifespan' and wanting 'lives' were still somewhat different.

Matsushita Xingyue only muttered it; she didn't intend to be argumentative.

She then fell into deep thought.

She was considering…

Would Shadow really go on a killing spree against the entire Sakura Country because of her?

Soon…

Matsushita Xingyue compromised!

Because she realized that even if Shadow didn't truly kill everyone in Sakura Country, he would certainly kill her family.

Her father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother were all still alive.

After all, her Soul Reaper class was enough for the Sakura Country officials to place her family under protection—and at the same time, under 'surveillance' to keep her in check!

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me, your family will be safe and sound."

Qin Feng looked at her calmly and said, "I can arrange everything for you. From now on, you will have the power to control the entire Sakura Country. All you need to do is help me collect a little bit of protection fees in Sakura Country."

Matsushita Xingyue: "…Is it really just a little bit?"

Qin Feng: "Maybe a 'mega-bit,' but it doesn't matter. Averaged out over every person, it really is just a little bit! As for the reason for collecting protection fees, think of one yourself. I believe you're smart enough to come up with a reasonable excuse to make your citizens hand over the protection fees willingly."

By now, Matsushita Xingyue had no other choice.

She chewed and swallowed the lollipop in her mouth, spat out the small stick, and finally, slowly knelt down toward Qin Feng…

…

Meanwhile, at the nearby Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Guild Hideout!

The Great Xia players here were basically in 'spectator' mode.

Only a very few people could observe that above a field of ruins a few kilometers away, a giant two-headed serpent suddenly appeared, its stealth state broken after being attacked!

As soon as that two-headed serpent was attacked and forced out of stealth, it was enveloped in dark Instant Death energy, its giant body decomposing into black dust…

"Those are all experts from the East Capital official side!"

“They all died in an instant!”

"I remember that bald guy; he's one of the top three in the East Capital Warrior class, his HP was already as high as a million!"

"But he was also taken out in an instant…"

"These methods can only be Shadow!"

"Holy crap, Shadow showed up and took out a T0 combat team in an instant?"

In the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Guild channel, people immediately began discussing fervently, their voices filled with surprise and admiration.

However, they did not see the scene within that cloud of dust where Matsushita Xingyue was half-kneeling before Qin Feng…

And when the dust settled.

Qin Feng had already taken Matsushita Xingyue and left the scene!

"Everyone, move out together!"

"There are so many lifespan light orbs from the deceased outside. Pick them all up. You keep 20% for yourselves, and the rest will be pooled together and given to Shadow. Shadow came all this way to bail us out; we can't let the big boss go back empty-handed!"

Chairman Kong immediately gave the order with a smile in the guild channel.

Since they were acting as a group, the amount of lifespan each person absorbed was recorded in the team channel, so there was no fear of anyone embezzling lifespan.

Besides, even keeping 20% for themselves was a great deal for every player.

After all, lifespan light orbs were everywhere outside!

At the same time, translucent Sakura Country players were everywhere, all in a God Forsaken Game online state, not daring to log off at all…

This was the moment of harvest!

…

Meanwhile, Qin Feng took Matsushita Xingyue and let her enter the 'Integrate into Darkness' state with him.

When she was invited into Qin Feng's party and entered the stealth state together, she was completely dumbfounded.

Stealth Level 93!

"It's not level 13, and it's not level 23…"

"But level 93?!"

"This…"

Matsushita Xingyue felt it was inconceivable, unbelievable!

For average players at this stage, having Stealth Level 13 would already allow them to walk anywhere in the world unchallenged.

Stealth Level 23 was already the stuff of legends.

Yet 'Shadow's' Stealth Level was 93!

She simply could not imagine how this was achieved.

For a moment, the head of the girl kneeling beside Qin Feng lowered even further, looking incredibly docile and obedient.

But Qin Feng certainly couldn't trust her so easily.

To ensure her obedience, Qin Feng had to first help her 'protect' her parents and relatives…

Before that, he would first take her toward an official Hideout in the 'Shinagawa Ward' of East Capital!

The one who had linked Matsushita Xingyue's life with those of her 19 subordinates was a Sakura Country official Wizard player whose Talent was Curse Enhancement. Through Kameyama Sasuke's memories, Qin Feng had already grasped all the relevant intelligence.

"In a bit, after we're done, tell your superiors that the eastern capital ghost is a puppet of mine."

Qin Feng gave Matsushita Xingyue an order: "I killed everyone but left you alive to negotiate reparations with your Sakura Country. As for the amount, let's say 150,000 years of lifespan."

"In addition, I will help you kill the Wizard who cast the Symbiotic Curse on you. Your Symbiotic Curse will naturally be lifted, and from then on, no one will be able to threaten your life."

Matsushita Xingyue didn't dare look up; she only kept her head down and nodded gently.

As Osirio soared with wings spread, the oncoming airflow blew Matsushita Xingyue's short red hair into a mess. She knelt on both knees beside Qin Feng, the fabric of her short skirt flapping loudly in the wind.

Osirio's flight speed of five or six times the speed of sound also made the girl's scalp tingle!

Her hands gripped the scales of the bone wings tightly, fearing she would be blown away.

At this moment, she had deeply realized… there were perhaps only two kinds of players in this world.

One was called 'Shadow'.

The other was called 'other players'…

Just then, Osirio's voice drifted back from the front with a chuckle: "Boss! Have you picked up another boss's lady?"

Qin Feng was long used to this: "Calm down, she's just a subordinate."

Osirio immediately said solemnly: "Subordinate? Boss, even if it's a subordinate, it has to be a 'capable' one. An incapable one won't do!"

Although Matsushita Xingyue had learned a bit of great xia language, she clearly didn't understand some internet slang.

Hearing this, she immediately got a bit nervous: "Lord Shadow, I am capable! I am definitely capable!"

She was truly afraid that if she had no value or performed poorly, Qin Feng would consider her 'slacking off,' and then she and her family would be in danger…

Hearing her answer, Qin Feng felt a bit of a headache. This girl's version of slang was a bit outdated!

He immediately told her to shut up: "Don't speak."

Matsushita Xingyue immediately closed her mouth, her lowered head dropping even lower.

At the same time.

Qin Feng arrived outside the Hideout where that 'Curse Wizard' was located.

Sitting on Osirio, Matsushita Xingyue was now a bit lightheaded because Osirio was so fast, making her a bit 'dragon-sick'.

When she clearly saw an official East Capital Hideout ahead, she couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled…

She knew that Shadow was now going to help her remove the 'Symbiotic Curse' on her.

It's just that she didn't know…

That Curse Wizard should be in-game right now.

How was Shadow going to kill him?

Just then, Osirio carried the two of them, staying stealthed in the sky nearby.

Suddenly, Matsushita Xingyue saw a mass of Flesh Mountain Puppet leap across the sky!

It was the stealthed Flesh Mountain Puppet. After it streaked through the sky, countless bloodstains poured down like raindrops, landing on the translucent defensive barrier of the Hideout!

The originally beautiful defensive barrier was suddenly stained with blood, which slowly slid down from the dome toward the sides…

It almost instantly triggered screams from countless people inside the Hideout!

"It's the ghost, the eastern capital ghost!"

"The ghost is here!"

"Everyone in the guild, log off and attack outward indiscriminately!"

The management of this official East Capital guild immediately issued orders.

At this time, the East Capital officials had not yet received detailed news about the 'eastern capital ghost.' At most, they only knew that Kameyama Sasuke and the others were almost all dead, but they didn't understand the specific situation at all.

In this situation…

The blood of the Flesh Mountain Puppet was splashed on the dome of the official Hideout.

How could they not panic?

They immediately began mobilizing players to log off and attack the invisible 'ghost' outside!

Qin Feng sat calmly on Osirio's back with Matsushita Xingyue, observing all of this indifferently.

He only needed to wait for that Curse Wizard to log off…

Then Qin Feng would take that guy out.

Next, based on Kameyama Sasuke's memories, he would find the guild chairmen and top official spokespersons within the East Capital area… and have Matsushita Xingyue take their soul-lives!

Speaking of which, Qin Feng really had to thank that mustached fellow, 'Kameyama Sasuke'.

This guy's memories were just too useful!
