“Hand It Over! A technique unique in the entire universe!”

— —

[You have consumed 550 Evolution Points, 58 remaining.]

[Thieving Saint's Hand (Epic-grade → Legendary): Used on a single target, permanently steals 1 point of a random four-dimensional attributes from the target. Level requirement 1, cooldown 12 → 6 (1.28) hours. Attribute points obtained through this skill: 0/50 → 0/75]

[Legendary new effect: No longer limited to use on monsters, and upon use, gain the 'Hand It Over' status (temporarily steals 20% of the target's current attributes, lasting 10 minutes)!]

('Hand It Over' is a unique buff, cannot be stacked, only the highest value takes effect)

— —

The special effect is here!

After hearing the system prompt, Qin Feng was immediately a bit surprised.

"I didn't expect the Legendary effect of this skill to actually remove the usage restrictions?"

Originally, this skill was limited to use on monsters.

But now…

It can be used on any target, including players, NPCs, and monsters!

"And there's a new effect when used? 'Hand It Over'?"

Hitting a BOSS with this directly before the fight starts means reducing its attributes by 20% right away?

Correspondingly, Qin Feng would gain that 20% of attributes!

Clearly, this is a technique that grows stronger against stronger opponents!

As of now, based on the strongest BOSS Qin Feng has killed, the four-dimensional attributes of a Level 25 Golden-level BOSS are generally between 1000-3000 points.

If he uses this before the fight starts…

It's equivalent to Qin Feng gaining 200-600 points in all attributes!

And the BOSS is weakened!

"Even if it's just 200 points of Strength, I can gain a temporary 5000-point increase in physical attack."

"And Constitution, Agility, Spirit… an all-around boost!"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.

It must be said, this technique is extremely powerful!

But if given to an average player, they might not necessarily be able to adapt.

Because once they gain those few hundred points of Agility, both movement speed and attack speed would increase significantly!

Furthermore, every time they fight a different BOSS, the temporarily stolen attributes would be different, leading to the need to re-familiarize oneself with their speed every time…

Fortunately, for Qin Feng, this kind of adaptability is a basic skill.

"Additionally, this skill can also be used on players."

"But for me, it's useless…"

"Anyway, there is a cap on permanent attribute theft, and if I need to deal with any players, it's better to just drag them into the Land of Judgment…"

Regardless, the evolution of this skill to Legendary grade still brought Qin Feng a pleasant surprise.

Although this skill comes from the race of the Thief Saint, it is already countless times stronger than the Thief Saint's version of this skill!

"It's a pity that it can only be used once on the same target…"

"Otherwise, when encountering a BOSS, I could just touch it with both hands and steal 40% of its attributes, right?"

That said, Qin Feng was already very satisfied with this Legendary effect.

Just right…

he could test the effect when he meets that Big Eyes NPC in a moment.

"Isn't that guy curious?"

"Using this skill on it… should pique its curiosity, right?"

"If that doesn't work, I'll just stick to the original plan and scold it."

While thinking this, Qin Feng raised his hand and used another Shadow Blade to instantly kill a Golden-level BOSS.

"Big Brother, you're too fierce."

Bamboo Girl couldn't help but exclaim: "When my Guild Leader and I clear the stage, it used to take over an hour. Recently, our strength increased a bit, so we saved it down to half an hour… but Big Brother just one-shot the Golden-level BOSS all the way, and we arrived in just ten minutes."

Recalling the process of clearing the stage in the past.

Bamboo Girl felt a bit heartbroken.

The Old Sword Immortal had a fragile body, and she was a Summoner who didn't add to Constitution either.

So…

when encountering a Golden-level BOSS, the pandas she summoned became the undisputed meat shields!

Every time they cleared a stage, many pandas would be covered in wounds!

In Bamboo Girl's view, she could exploit the pandas, but if the pandas were injured by others, she would feel heartache!

"Hehe."

Bamboo Girl narrowed her eyes: "Although there will be one less double experience opportunity every day from now on… being able to clear the stage with Big Brother is both easy and efficient, it's so happy~"

However, Qin Feng was considering something else at this moment.

Every time he clears this Eight Trigrams Array, there are eight Golden-level BOSSes, so couldn't he keep relying on this to farm Evolution Points?

The Evolution Points given by a Golden-level BOSS are 7 points.

Using Hand of Greed to loot them would be a total of 42 or 49 points.

Eight in total, that's three or four hundred Evolution Points!

Ten minutes, three or four hundred Evolution Points!

If this could be farmed infinitely, wouldn't that be wonderful?

It's just a pity…

Qin Feng soon learned from Bamboo Girl that this Eight Trigrams Array can only be cleared once a day. If one leaves and tries to clear it again, they would be trapped on the first sky platform with no monsters spawning, meaning the teleportation array cannot be activated, and one can only choose to exit.

"No matter."

"This Eight Trigrams Array was most likely created by that Big Eyes."

"Once I invite it back to the Hideout and have it build one there, even if it can only be farmed once a day, the gains would still be decent."

This is much better than any 'Golden Magic Talisman'.

It's just that he didn't know how much Lifespan it would cost to build such a stage.

Qin Feng knew.

Even for an NPC, it's impossible to create something from nothing; it must be at the cost of Lifespan!

But for Qin Feng, the priority of Evolution Points is definitely higher than Lifespan… As long as it's not too outrageous, he can accept it.

…

After stepping onto the last teleportation array, Qin Feng and Bamboo Girl arrived at a bamboo forest valley.

In the deepest part of the valley, there was a tower-like structure!

"The Guild Leader and I used the Book of Divine Empowerment to build that tower for it, and it even cost us decades of Lifespan."

Bamboo Girl felt a bit of heartache.

The two continued forward.

Qin Feng soon saw that at the top of the tower-like structure, there was a white spherical object about three meters in diameter!

It seemed to realize someone was approaching.

That white spherical object suddenly split open…

To be precise, it was like an eye opening, revealing a golden pupil!

A large eyeball with a golden pupil, surrounded by light purple electric sparks, slowly flew toward the two!

— —

[Knowledge Eye Aristotle]

[Level: ???]

— —

"You have finally arrived, I have been waiting for you for a long time, I have many questions I need to ask you…"

A somewhat crisp, child-like voice came from the eyeball.

Perhaps the race to which this Big Eyes belonged could not originally speak, but when assigned as an NPC, the rules of the God Forsaken Game not only instilled knowledge about Chinese but also granted it the ability to speak, used to communicate with players from Blue Star.

As for the voice sounding like a child…

it does not represent its true age.

In fact, among those assigned to Blue Star as NPCs, who isn't an old fox?

"Okay."

Bamboo Girl pursed her lips: "Please ask, as long as it is something we know, I will tell you."

She was quite polite to this NPC.

However…

Answer questions?

Qin Feng knew that if he really wanted to move this NPC and take it away, he absolutely could not take the usual path.

So…

"Hand It Over!"

Qin Feng raised his hand and used the 'Thieving Saint's Hand' that had just evolved to Legendary grade on that Big Eyes!

This technique is unique in the entire universe.

Just ask yourself if you're curious!

— —

[You have released 'Thieving Saint's Hand' on 'Knowledge Eye Aristotle'!]

[You have permanently stolen 1 point of Agility!]

[You have gained the 'Hand It Over' buff, lasting 10 minutes!]

[Your Strength has increased by 429!]

[Your Constitution has increased by 479!]

[Your Agility has increased by 336!]

[Your Spirit has increased by 1098!]

— —

Since this skill does not belong to 'Control' effects, even if this NPC has the 'Invulnerability' affix, it cannot resist it.

Not everyone is like Qin Feng, who has 'Roslav's Pact', which can allow the 'Invulnerability' affix to resist all negative effects!

However, Qin Feng guessed that because NPCs are entities that possess 'Divinity', his Legendary 'Thieving Saint's Hand' skill would suffer some diminishing returns when stealing attribute points.

Calculating based on 20%, the opponent's Strength, Constitution, and Agility attributes are between 1500-2000 points.

Even Spirit is only a little over 5000 points.

But the opponent's actual attributes would be far higher than this value…

However, these are not the key points.

The key is that when Qin Feng raised his hand and released the 'Thieving Saint's Hand' skill, both Bamboo Girl and Big Eyes were stunned on the spot.

Especially that NPC Big Eyes…

In its huge pupil, three parts confusion, three parts shock, and four parts disbelief were instantly revealed!

"What kind of technique is this!"

"The inherited skill of the Celestial Thief Clan, Thieving Saint's Hand?"

"No! Thieving Saint's Hand can only be used on monsters, when did I become a monster?"

"And…"

"What kind of effect is 'Hand It Over'?"

"It actually temporarily stole so many of my attributes!"

"Who exactly is this Blue Star player?"

Clearly.

If Qin Feng were to use this 'Thieving Saint's Hand' on other players, they wouldn't really feel much, at most they would angrily curse 'Cheating scum'.

But for this Knowledge Eye…

it knows too much!

Therefore…

the more it knows, the more it realizes how incredible this technique that Qin Feng released is, almost like a miracle!

"Detected a new Talent not recorded in the database…"

"A brand new version never seen before!"

Knowledge Eye looked at Qin Feng as if looking at a brand new species!

It immediately associated this with Qin Feng's Talent.

But it could never have imagined…

Qin Feng's true trump card is the Authority of the Ancient God of Judgment!

"Blue Star human, tell me your Talent, I am willing to serve you!"

The white golden pupil stared fixedly at Qin Feng, the light purple electric sparks around the edge of the Big Eyes became even more brilliant, and the crisp voice came again, carrying a bit of longing and urgency.

And Bamboo Girl, who was watching this scene, had a confused look on her face.

She didn't know what happened, but she vaguely felt… it seemed like something wasn't quite right?
