From France,

Inside the Evil Spirit Academy, surrounded by the glow of dim torches.

Qin Feng walked step by step into the underground hall.

Dressed in a moon-white robe, Moon Deficient Queen · Virginie came before Qin Feng and knelt on one knee with the utmost respect, her face filled with reverence: "Lord Shadow."

Qin Feng raised his hand to signal her to rise and asked, "How is the situation?"

Virginie quickly explained the situation in Great Han Country.

Since she went to Great Han Country, starting from initially driving away the Fisherman BOSS, she has gradually gained the worship and trust of the Great Han people!

Now under her command, she controls three cities—Mt. Fu, the capital, and Pyeongchang—with a total of seventeen large guilds.

The core players of those guilds all look to Virginie as their leader.

On one hand, Virginie's strength was indeed powerful.

She helped them kill many Emerald and Diamond-Level BOSSes, bringing them significant gains.

On the other hand, they used Virginie's name to form a guild alliance.

This caused the influence of these guilds to soar throughout Great Han.

Of course…

Virginie wasn't helping them for nothing.

Whether it was killing BOSSes or occasionally taking action to eliminate enemies, she charged extremely high fees.

Simply put.

To maintain sufficient deterrence, Virginie would occasionally help out, but she would charge lifespan.

Normally, those guilds didn't dare to disobey any of Virginie's demands!

In essence, it was plundering lifespan.

The guild bosses under her called it 'tributes'!

Virginie even made contact with the Great Han Country official, and the official has guaranteed her a certain share of the national tax revenue!

On one side, she received daily 'tributes'.

On another, she received the taxes given by the Great Han official.

And on the third side, she also charged high fees for taking action.

She was making a absolute fortune!

Even though Virginie hadn't started 'amassing wealth' on a large scale yet,

in this short period of time…

she had already collected a full 200,000 years of lifespan and brought it back to give to Qin Feng!

Qin Feng wasn't surprised by this number.

After all, that was the entire Great Han Country!

Just those seventeen fully controlled major guilds had 200,000 to 300,000 people under them; if each person gave just one year, it would be 200,000 to 300,000 years. It's clear that 200,000 years of lifespan really wasn't that much!

And moving forward…

as Virginie's channels opened up, she would plunder even more lifespan!

After all, the total population of Great Han Country was tens of millions!

"This feels good."

Qin Feng felt quite refreshed after receiving 200,000 years of lifespan from Virginie.

Who wouldn't fear an NPC who could move freely and slaughter players at will?

Those guilds in Great Han Country…

on the surface, they were using Virginie, but in reality, weren't they also terrified of her?

Even the Great Han official was afraid that this terrifying NPC, codenamed 'Moon', would suddenly go on a killing spree in Great Han!

This was an NPC who could easily crush even Epic BOSSes!

How could they not be cautious?

At this moment, Virginie faced Qin Feng, a hint of doubt appearing on her gentle and considerate face: "Lord Shadow, I have learned that the official of that country seems to be planning to use me against you."

"They even asked me indirectly if I was confident in defeating you… How should I respond?"

Hearing this, Qin Feng coughed.

He waved his hand and said, "If they ask again, just say we're an even match. In short, squeeze all their lifespan out first."

Virginie bowed respectfully: "Yes, I understand."

…

After the brief report, Virginie returned to Great Han Country.

Qin Feng, meanwhile, felt very satisfied looking at the 320,000 years of lifespan on his attribute interface.

"Although I've spent a lot of lifespan recently,"

"fortunately, I've earned even more!"

"Mainly profits from Los Angeles and Great Han Country…"

"With so much lifespan, I can let the White Sprout Blade absorb more souls."

Then Qin Feng did some quick math.

One soul costs 18,000 years; for the remaining 18 souls, he needed a total of 324,000 years.

After finishing the calculations, Qin Feng's face fell again.

Even with all this lifespan, he couldn't even fully feed the White Sprout Blade.

Still poor.

Too poor.

"Great Han Country, Los Angeles, you guys need to work harder."

It seemed like Qin Feng was harvesting a lot.

But in fact, Qin Feng knew very well that what he was harvesting now was not even a drop in the ocean compared to what those capitalist conglomerates harvested before the God Forsaken Game arrived.

The hard work of the workhorses all turned into luxury cars, beauties, and grand villas for the bosses and capitalists!

Although Qin Feng didn't need those things,

in the era of the God Forsaken Game, as long as you had strength, everything else was within reach!

Only by being strong enough can one have the right to survive!

Next,

Qin Feng took out the 'old days catastrophe snake tooth', which was as large as his head, from his home storage box.

——

[old days catastrophe snake tooth (Mythic): While carried, clears Upper Affix gauges/statuses from the body every 5 seconds.]

[Warning: This item does not belong to this game world; all effects are disabled!]

——

"I can finally use this thing."

"But this thing is too big; how am I supposed to carry it on me?"

Qin Feng frowned at the head-sized snake tooth: "I can only hope that after that old man converts it, this thing can be put into the storage space…"

He would convert this thing first.

Then he would use Asha Hess's Summoning Bell to see what the Level 35 challenge was.

Just as Qin Feng was carrying the giant snake tooth to the surface area, intending to find Evil Sound Old Ghost,

Wan Ye Wei Yu suddenly sent a message: "Great God, Great God~ Our diplomatic department just sent a message. A Legendary BOSS called 'Crimson Tengu Magic Bird' has appeared in France in the West… They are willing to pay 100,000 years of lifespan to invite you to help kill the BOSS. Are you willing to go?"

Hearing this voice message, Qin Feng was somewhat surprised and delighted.

Crimson Tengu Magic Bird?

He hadn't even seen this thing in his previous life.

But he had heard the name because he had asked Big Eyes where to obtain materials for Grey Chicken's growth.

There were many answers.

One of the names was this 'Crimson Tengu Magic Bird'.

Defeating the Crimson Tengu Magic Bird would yield a 100% drop of the related materials!

"A request for help from France…"

When Qin Feng heard the name of this country, he thought of the Lafite Tower, that historically famous romantic nation.

"The Crimson Tengu Magic Bird never appeared in my previous life."

"But now, it has been deployed to France."

"It seems this is also because my progress in killing BOSSes is too far ahead."

So Qin Feng summoned Osirio and Grey Chicken, told Grey Chicken the news, and told it to be mentally prepared.

Grey Chicken: "Whoa! I can finally stop being a little chick!"

Osirio's eyes lit up: "Wait, can the Crimson Tengu Magic Bird be a match for this dragon? How about you make a little sacrifice, Grey Chicken? Don't grow up, and let that bird come home with me to warm my bed?"

Grey Chicken: "???"
