I knew Teacher was crafty, but I didn’t expect him to be this crafty!

No one knows the effects of Qin Feng's 'Hand of Greed'.

Even Gui Ling is no exception.

So when she heard Qin Feng say that he wanted to loot the corpse himself, the little girl was a bit amused and helpless.

"Does Teacher like the feeling of drawing a lottery?"

Gui Ling smiled helplessly.

Naturally, Gui Ling had no objections to this.

However, Qin Feng immediately sent another message: "Just tell them… I'll give them three Emerald-grade equipment and ten Platinum-grade equipment in exchange for 1,500 years of Lifespan. As for the BOSS corpse, they shouldn't even think about it."

"Huh?"

Gui Ling was even more confused.

What kind of play is this?

But soon, Gui Ling realized…

Qin Feng wanted to take this opportunity to scam them?

"Teacher probably doesn't want to loot the corpse himself; he just wants to make them pay the highest price?"

Gui Ling understood instantly!

She felt that Qin Feng must have plenty of Emerald-grade and Platinum-grade equipment.

He could just pick out some trash to give away, while the other party would effectively have to pay double the price to 'purchase' it.

And this was exactly the 'sincerity' they had offered themselves!

He had them completely figured out!

"If he didn't do this and actually let them loot the corpse, it would be almost impossible to get anything out of it."

"In that case, they would only pay about 300 years of Lifespan…"

"But this way, they've essentially wasted seven or eight hundred years of Lifespan!"

"Teacher really loves scamming people…"

Gui Ling giggled secretly.

She felt she understood Qin Feng's line of thinking and was very happy.

However, she didn't know that she only understood half of it…

To Qin Feng, the benefits that this Emerald-grade BOSS corpse could bring him far exceeded the Lifespan that the guild could provide!

…

Near the stone ruins.

Gui Ling was crouching beside the corpse of the 'Assassin · Child of Death', slowly recovering her state.

At the same time, she conveyed Qin Feng's proposal to the person in front of her.

Standing before her was a young female Assassin from 'Yunshan Inn'.

That young female Assassin was about the same age as Gui Ling, and it was clear that she had a very spirited personality.

"I'm sorry! I am very sorry!"

The young female Assassin kept bowing and apologizing in front of Gui Ling, her back straight, shouting very loudly: "Our guild leader has deeply realized our mistake! We are willing to agree to your proposal!"

"Please forgive us! We will never snatch anyone else's BOSS again! We won't bully anyone! We will turn over a new leaf! We will take you and Brother Shadow as our role models!"

The young female Assassin's voice was loud, and she was full of sincerity.

It was clear that she was a bit envious of Gui Ling.

After all, Shadow was the world's number one existence, and his many legendary deeds had spread across the globe.

Anyone who could be associated with Shadow, or even… be Shadow's wife!

How could one not be envious of that?

Listening to the young female Assassin's spirited, loud, and crisp voice, Gui Ling felt a bit embarrassed.

The girl came up and apologized sincerely, then called her 'Mrs. Shadow', which made her immediately deny it, saying that Shadow was just her teacher…

But unexpectedly, this denial not only failed to clear up the misunderstanding, but instead made the other party's eyes look a bit strange…

Gui Ling was a bit suspicious.

Could this girl be thinking of some strange kinky scenarios?

But fortunately, the other party didn't continue calling her 'Mrs. Shadow', which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Gui Ling respected Qin Feng too much and dared not have any inappropriate thoughts.

Moreover, she could actually feel that Qin Feng was clearly and deliberately keeping his distance from her…

At this moment.

Listening to the young female Assassin's apologies and guarantees, Gui Ling couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

She just nodded and said coldly: "Fine, let's add each other as friends, and you can go first. When I return to the Magic City Ruins, I'll find you for the trade. Remember, it's three Emerald-grade equipment and ten Platinum-grade equipment in exchange for 1,500 years of your Lifespan."

The young female Assassin stood straight and immediately saluted: "Yes! I understand! Thank you for your forgiveness!"

Thus, both parties added each other as friends.

The young female Assassin thanked her profusely and repeatedly promised on behalf of the guild leader not to do similar things again, before finally leaving…

As for Gui Ling, she rested in place, waiting for Qin Feng while studying the 'Assassin' Bloodline she had just obtained.

Come to think of it, she still had some mixed feelings.

Because this Assassin had several extra skills in its final berserk phase, including skills like 'Instant Shadow Slash'.

Although the casting speed became slower, once released, it would instantly launch several slashes along the path, and each slash would stack 50% of the instant death gauge!

"It's a good thing Teacher explained the BOSS's skills after it went berserk to me."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to react at all…"

Gui Ling sighed.

While admiring Qin Feng even more, she also clearly realized that she still had a long way to go.

That 'Instant Death' Affix could not even be blocked by a Damage Immunity Shield.

Once hit by two slashes, she would instantly die.

This also made her realize that if it weren't for her 'Abyssal Potential Curse', which weakened the target's attributes by 90% in all aspects, it would have been truly too difficult for her to kill this BOSS.

As for other players, they shouldn't even think about it.

Even if they could figure out the strategy by spending time, no one would be able to react to the final berserk phase.

As long as it was an Emerald-grade BOSS with a Superior Affix, other players would still need to develop for at least many more days before they could clear it relatively smoothly…

And after killing the BOSS.

The effect of the 'Assassin' Bloodline that Gui Ling obtained also amazed her.

Because this Bloodline actually came with 5 points of the 'Instant Death' Affix!

These 5 points of the 'Instant Death' Affix allowed her to stack the instant death gauge on the target with every attack, and reaching 100% would instantly kill the target, ignoring all mechanics!

Everything like damage reduction, shields, invincibility… were all ineffective!

"This Bloodline actually comes with an Instant Death Affix!"

"Teacher actually gave it to me?"

Gui Ling was a bit shocked at first, but soon realized…

These 5 points of the 'Instant Death' Affix were simply too low for Qin Feng.

Even for a target without any 'Instant Death' resistance, it would take 20 attacks to kill them instantly.

And for Qin Feng…

Who would he need 20 attacks to kill?

Even against a Diamond BOSS, he wouldn't need that many attacks!

But for Gui Ling, the concept was completely different. Her attacks were not as explosive as Qin Feng's; although she could crush ordinary players, she wasn't as dominant when fighting a BOSS.

Now that she had the 'Instant Death' Affix, it was different.

Of course, the higher the grade of the BOSS, the higher the 'Instant Death' resistance it had.

Truly wanting to kill a BOSS instantly was not such an easy thing; one still had to formulate different strategies based on different BOSSes…

It's a shortcut, but not cheating.

"Unlike Teacher, who kills every BOSS instantly…"

Gui Ling's beautiful eyes were filled with admiration.

Just as she was thinking this, Qin Feng finally arrived.

His figure, clad in black leather armor, appeared before Gui Ling: "These are the equipment I've selected. You can take them to trade with them later."

Qin Feng traded three Emerald-grade equipment and ten Platinum-grade equipment over.

Seeing Qin Feng, Gui Ling immediately stood up to greet him.

Then she accepted the equipment.

When she saw this equipment, her mouth couldn't help but twitch. This equipment… it was indeed Emerald-grade and Platinum-grade, but why were the attributes so trashy?!

These were items that no one would buy if put on the market normally!!

Gui Ling had originally thought that the other party would be scammed a bit.

But she never expected they would be scammed for such a huge amount!
