Hey, take it easy.

Currently, when Qin Feng didn't need to be in the sea having the merfolk gather monsters for leveling, he naturally returned to the 'Shadow' Guild.

That was why he could use the many facilities in the Evil Spirit Academy Hideout.

Qin Feng didn't feel like waiting for Ghost Spirit to return, so he just tossed the boots into the storage box and left a message for the girl, telling her to come back and get them whenever she had time.

Next up was the reinforcement of the 'world ice ridge boots'!

Qin Feng used over ten Reinforcement Stones before he finally managed to buff the specific affix he wanted.

—

Control Resistance +228% → 277% (Reinforcement Range: 240% – 280%)

—

The reason he wanted to reinforce this was because across his entire body, this was the only source of Control Resistance he had. If he didn't buff this, what else would he buff?

As for Movement Speed, All Attributes, and damage reduction, his other equipment already provided those, so the improvement rate from reinforcing them would be very small.

"Besides, these boots also passively grant immunity to all Ice-attribute crowd control…"

"So now, both Ice and Lightning-attribute control effects are completely ineffective against me."

Next, Qin Feng went to find Sister Yuan.

The equipment dropped from the World Spine this time was more plentiful and of higher grade than before. By breaking down the useless pieces, he would get more Equipment Points to reinforce more special effects!

Soon, Qin Feng arrived at Rogue Fairy · Yuan's room.

He found her lying on her side on the bed, fast asleep in a lazy posture. Beneath the fabric of her black robe, her long legs were faintly visible…

The moment Qin Feng entered.

She reacted instantly, standing up with a movement so fast that even Qin Feng couldn't quite see it clearly.

It had to be said, her alertness was extremely high.

Once she realized it was Qin Feng, she finally relaxed.

Qin Feng said helplessly, "No need to be so tense in the future. In this underground Hideout, there's no one else but me. The other NPCs are all in the surface area."

A hint of playfulness appeared in Fairy Kite's purple eyes. "Do you think I don't know that you're keeping a little loli here?"

Qin Feng was surprised. "A little loli? Which one are you talking about?"

As soon as he said this, the enchanting fairy was stunned. "Ah? There's more than one?"

Now it was Qin Feng's turn to be surprised.

Ghost Spirit and Ashashis could both move around in the underground area of the Hideout.

But according to this fairy, she only knew about one of them?

"That must be Ghost Spirit then."

Qin Feng was incredibly surprised. "Ashashis's existence… this fairy can't sense her?"

He didn't dwell on it.

He coughed and said, "It's fine, don't worry about that loli, she won't run around. First, take a look at the equipment from this time…"

Qin Feng dumped the equipment dropped from the World Spine in front of the fairy all at once.

When the fairy sister saw this batch of equipment, her expression was clearly surprised. "This equipment? There's even Ancient-Grade? Little brother, how did you do it? How did you get so much equipment in such a short time?"

Qin Feng smiled. "Take a guess?"

Naturally, the fairy couldn't guess that Qin Feng's drop rate from killing bosses was so high. However, she was very experienced, and after a brief thought, she asked with great interest, "Do you possess a Talent for synthesizing equipment?"

"As long as you have a massive amount of equipment, you can keep synthesizing upwards? But this kind of Talent requires an extremely vast amount of resources. Besides low-grade equipment, you also need many special materials…"

"Just how many people do you have working for you out there?"

The fairy's guess could be considered quite bold.

Even the kind of Talent she described, which could continuously synthesize equipment, would already be an extremely terrifying Talent.

But what she didn't know was…

Qin Feng's Talent was even more ridiculous than she imagined!

A twenty-fold drop rate and equipment synthesis were just two of the abilities granted by Qin Feng's Talent!

Qin Feng remained noncommittal regarding her guess.

She didn't say anything more, but her hands didn't stay idle either. She picked up a pair of Ancient-Grade Frost Trousers and put them on…

Once she put on the trousers, her long legs looked as if they were encased in ice-silk stockings, emitting a snowy-white cold mist.

As expected of Ancient-Grade equipment; while its attributes were powerful, its appearance was certainly not lacking either!

"This is Mage equipment."

"Break!"

Qin Feng activated the divine rule of 'Ruthless Crushing' and began throwing Shadow Blades to attack the equipment on Kite's body.

"Hey, take it easy!"

Every time Qin Feng had come to break her equipment before, he had just fired Shadow Blades casually, posing no threat to her at all.

But now, after Qin Feng fired just one Shadow Blade, this fairy actually lost health?

This single Shadow Blade from Qin Feng, besides damaging the Ancient-Grade trousers, actually dealt 17,000 damage to the fairy herself.

One had to know that previously, Qin Feng's damage couldn't even break through her defense.

However…

Looking at the health bar displayed above the fairy's head, Qin Feng felt a bit pained. "Wait, it's only 17,000 damage. Your health bar didn't even move, and you're already crying out in pain?"

The beautiful fairy surrounded by purple mist had a look of resentment. "I have 21,000 damage negation and a 7,700-fold total damage reduction, yet you can still break my defense?"

Qin Feng sighed. "Sigh, I told you long ago, mine is very fierce, you'll have to bear with it."

The mature fairy curled her lips. "I won't. Change your skill. Use that one from before, the one that does hundreds of slashes in an instant. I can block that one."

There was no other way. Since she was one of his own, Qin Feng didn't want her to get hurt.

So he switched skills and used Thousand Blade Strike for his output.

Because the individual damage of Thousand Blade Strike was low, and since Qin Feng wasn't stealthed and didn't land a backstab, he finally failed to break her defense.

"It looks like my combat power is gradually catching up to hers."

"If I used stealth plus a backstab, how much damage would I deal attacking her?"

Qin Feng was quite curious.

But now was clearly not the time for curiosity. After all, with 'Ruthless Crushing' active, he was consuming his lifespan every second.

So he used the fastest speed possible to crush all the equipment in this batch that needed crushing.

The mature fairy understood him well. Every time Qin Feng finished an attack, she would use a skill to forcibly exit the combat state. Only by doing this could she put on other equipment as quickly as possible to save time for Qin Feng.

Unfortunately, however…

The Equipment Points obtained from crushing the equipment this time were all used by Qin Feng to reinforce the special effects of the 'world ice ridge boots'.

Originally, the Invulnerability value destroyed per attack was 9% of his own Invulnerability limit. After reinforcement, it reached 13.2% (Reinforcement Range: 10.8% – 14.4%)…

Since it was Ancient-Grade equipment, reinforcing the special effects required a lot of Equipment Points.

Qin Feng still wasn't very satisfied with this value, but unfortunately, the Equipment Points had already been squandered away. He could only wait for the next opportunity.

Once this batch of equipment was processed, Qin Feng deactivated 'Ruthless Crushing'.

Then he activated 'Abyssal Gaze Curse' and glanced at the mature fairy in the purple mist before him… only to find that even the Ancient-Grade Abyssal Gaze Curse couldn't see through her!

The fairy glanced at him and smiled with interest. "Little brother, if you want to see your sister naked, just say the word. What's with the sneakiness?"

Qin Feng: "…"

It seemed the rank of Ancient-Grade skills wasn't high enough yet. They needed to continue evolving!
