Great God, you don’t mind if we become neighbors, do you?

At this very moment.

In Jianghai City, Chu Yan, a short-haired girl from the 'Dream Sand River' guild who did charity work whenever she had time, was busy trying to mobilize an elderly couple to move to a Hideout.

No matter what she said, they didn't seem to listen. She couldn't force them to leave their home, which left her feeling anxious and helpless.

Suddenly, Chu Yan received a private message from a friend…

It was 'Sunny and Cheerful Big Girl,' also known as Jia Xiaomei.

Long ago, Jia Xiaomei had joined the Sky Dome Guild and even invited Chu Yan to join. However, Chu Yan politely declined, as she felt quite comfortable in the Dream Sand River Guild.

The people here were caring and spoke kindly…

"…Could Shadow really be your best friend's brother?!"

Receiving this message from Jia Xiaomei, Chu Yan couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

She sighed and replied: "He's just extracting a Hideout there; it doesn't mean he'll live there permanently. Besides, even if he is, it has nothing to do with us…"

"Xiaoyou already cut ties with her brother. I've told her to look for him several times, but not only does she remain unmoved every time, she even blames me for meddling."

"So let's just drop it."

Although Chu Yan said this, her mind was actually a bit in a daze.

Shadow is Qin Xiaoyou's brother, Qin Feng?

She had met Qin Feng twice.

Even though it was only twice, she could feel that Qin Feng truly treated Qin Xiaoyou well and cared for her in every aspect; it was only Qin Xiaoyou who didn't realize how lucky she was.

But Chu Yan also couldn't quite understand why he would cut ties with Qin Xiaoyou so decisively and disappear so completely.

"If Qin Feng is Shadow, then a single word from him could make Xiaoyou's life very comfortable."

"So the possibility is just too low."

Chu Yan sighed.

After saying this, she turned back to the side of another girl.

The other girl was currently trying to persuade the elderly couple.

Girl: "…So this situation is called 'Desolation Spreads.' We all need to enter a Hideout to ensure our safety!"

Old Man: "Desolation selling salt? Who is Desolation?"

Girl: "Grandpa, it's 'Spreads,' not 'Selling salt'!!"

Old Man: "Selling cigarettes? Oh, oh, I don't smoke anymore, I quit. I don't need any, thank you, little girl."

The girl felt helpless: "…Grandpa, you're surprisingly polite."

Chu Yan was equally helpless: "…"

…

The eastern coast of the Magic Capital.

Jia Xiaomei sighed after receiving Chu Yan's reply.

She looked at the giant Bone Sword Wyvern in the sky above the Evil Spirit Academy on the coast, and then at Shadow standing on the wyvern's back, feeling a sense of unreality.

This world-ranked number one terrifying assassin was actually right before her eyes.

"…Forget it, Chu Yan said not to worry about it, so there's no need for me to join the commotion."

Jia Xiaomei didn't think too much of it.

This girl naturally had an optimistic and cheerful personality. In this era where the God Forsaken Game had arrived, being able to join the Sky Dome Guild was already something she considered extremely lucky.

Being perfectly satisfied, she was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

Besides, it was just the best friend of a friend?

She didn't even know Qin Xiaoyou, so it was even less likely for her to overthink it.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng was riding Osirio in the sky over the eastern coast, observing the surrounding situation.

"If I remember correctly, with these two Hideouts as the center, the surrounding area for about fifty kilometers will remain a Mild Zone for the next nine years."

"There won't be any accelerated Lifespan loss."

"Additionally, fifty kilometers out at sea is a massive Rage Zone."

"It's very likely that many deep-sea monsters will land in reality through the rifts…"

Qin Feng looked toward the sea with a calm expression.

Monsters in the Rage Zone cannot enter the Mild Zone, so there was no need to worry about the situation over there.

Overall, this place was already the best survival site after Desolation Spreads.

In the ninth year of his previous life, a brand-new city had formed here, known as the 'New Magic Capital,' because the guilds and Hideouts within the Magic Capital's range had basically all migrated here.

Just then.

Qin Feng received a private message from Wan Ye Wei Yu: "Great God, I heard you extracted the Evil Spirit Academy Hideout on the eastern coast? You don't mind if we become neighbors, do you?"

???

Qin Feng was a bit stunned.

He thought for a moment and replied: "I don't mind neighbors, of course, but I'm just extracting it for now. If the situation isn't right after Desolation Spreads, I'll have to move."

Wan Ye Wei Yu trusted Qin Feng implicitly: "It's fine, I believe in you~"

A short while later, Qin Feng saw Wan Ye Wei Yu along with another group of Government players appearing in his field of vision.

They first discussed the issue regarding the Hideout's range with Qin Feng.

After ensuring they had Qin Feng's consent, Wan Ye Wei Yu then called over the leader of the Great Xia Navy Guild to migrate the Platinum-grade Hideout, 'Prison of Suffering,' to a spot five kilometers away from the Evil Spirit Academy!

As for the guild members, they would all rush over to move in later.

Seeing this, Qin Feng shook his head with a smile and ignored it.

Regardless, this didn't have any downsides for him.

However…

This time, Qin Feng had essentially exposed his location in reality, which might bring some danger, but he didn't care.

At this stage, large-scale weapons of mass destruction in reality were completely useless.

There was no need to worry about being bombed.

Even if someone came, they would just be fodder for the current Sky Dome Guild…

After all, Qin Feng hadn't only sold his Diamond equipment to the Government.

He had also sold the portion of Diamond equipment that the Government couldn't absorb to the Sky Dome Guild!

If guild strength were truly calculated, the overall strength of the current Sky Dome Guild was definitely in the top three globally.

Even if there were guilds stronger than Sky Dome, it would only be a few of Great Xia's top-tier Government guilds…

Immediately after, Qin Feng saw what appeared to be several warships sailing toward this sea area on the distant horizon.

Because the distance was great, Qin Feng couldn't see them clearly…

If his attributes weren't high enough, he wouldn't have even been able to see the shadows of the warships.

After all, they were dozens of kilometers away.

Wan Ye Wei Yu also promptly explained that those warships were sent under the orders of the Great Xia Navy to protect this coast.

Qin Feng naturally had no objection to this.

Although the heavy firepower on those warships was now ineffective, they could still be used as 'outposts' at sea. Once any movement from overseas was detected, they could prepare in advance.

…

In the sky, Qin Feng quietly watched as the people of the Sky Dome Guild brought their families to live in the Evil Spirit Academy.

After roughly estimating the required area, he discussed it with Old Zhang Tou and Zhang Jinxuan.

He took over eight hundred years of Lifespan from them to expand the Evil Spirit Academy's defensive barrier outward by two hundred meters. This way, as long as they used the Book of Divine Empowerment to build some three-story houses, it would be enough for everyone in the Sky Dome Guild to live in.

As for the construction work, the Sky Dome Guild would naturally handle it themselves.

Someone like Jia Xiaomei, being a 'Diviner,' didn't have very strong direct combat capabilities, so she was usually responsible for the guild's building construction.

To her, it was like playing a survival building game in the past. Under the guidance of professional designers, the houses built were not only convenient to live in but also looked very good…

Qin Feng didn't bother with these matters.

After the Evil Spirit Academy was extracted, Qin Feng returned to the Soul Purification Land in stealth and ate something.

Before going online, Qin Feng went to Gui Ling's room and opened the door to take a look.

"It's fine, nothing's wrong."

He saw Gui Ling wearing black leather armor, sitting obediently in a chair, her body appearing semi-transparent…

Knowing that this girl seemed to be exploring some ruins, Qin Feng took the opportunity to check on her while he was out for a meal, lest something happen to her without anyone knowing.

Of course…

In reality, the Soul Purification Land now had twenty 'Mechanical Maids.' If something happened to Gui Ling, the Mechanical Maids would notify Qin Feng immediately, so there was no need to worry about missing anything.

And not long after Qin Feng returned to his room and went back online…

The first Desolation Spreads, which would cause the global population to plummet by one-third, finally began!
