Instant Shadow Slash!

Diamond-grade Hand of Greed!

[Instant Shadow Slash (Silver): Assassin skill. Blinks in a designated direction (up to 15 meters), enters stealth (lasting 5 seconds), and deals 3 slashes to all enemies in the path. Cooldown 12 (10.43) seconds. Learning Requirement: Level 4]

[Slash Width: 2.1 meters. Each slash adds 100 attack power, 100% considered a back attack.]

Qin Feng took the skill book in his hand and learned it directly.

If he had learned this skill just now, the time required to kill that Silver-grade Cursed One would have been cut in half!

The most important thing is…

Not only can this skill allow him to continue stealth, but it is also a range damage skill!

As for the cooldown time, 12 seconds is the base cooldown of the skill, and 10.43 seconds is the actual effective cooldown.

After all, Qin Feng carries a 15% cooldown speed attribute.

"Attack range of 15 meters long and 2.1 meters wide."

"It's extremely satisfying for attacking mobs."

"Through evolution, the range should be able to increase… But there's no rush for now."

Qin Feng focused his attention on the 'Hand of Greed'.

He had evolved the Hand of Greed four times before, and now it is the fifth evolution.

The required Evolution Points are 1 point, 2 points, 3 points, 5 points, and 8 points respectively.

"So, the Evolution Points required for each skill evolution are equal to the sum of the previous two evolutions?"

"If I guessed correctly, the Evolution Points required for the sixth evolution of each skill is 13 points?"

Thinking this, Qin Feng consumed 8 Evolution Points and evolved the Hand of Greed again!

[You have consumed 8 Evolution Points, with 4 remaining.]

[Hand of Greed (Emerald → Diamond): Assassin skill. Can be used on monster corpses, with a 160% → 220% probability to additionally obtain a loot reward. The additional loot obtained has a 20% → 40% probability to increase 1 tier.]

Looking at the enhanced effect of the skill, Qin Feng couldn't help but gasp.

"Now every time I kill a monster, I am guaranteed to get two extra pieces of loot!"

"Killing one monster is equivalent to others killing three!"

"There is even a 20% probability of getting three extra rewards…"

"And a 40% probability to increase 1 tier!"

As this skill evolved, Qin Feng felt it was becoming more and more overpowered!

When he looked at the next evolution condition of the Hand of Greed, he found that indeed, the Evolution Points required for the next evolution is 13 points.

Without the Hand of Greed, Qin Feng would probably take forever to get these 13 Evolution Points…

But now, with the Hand of Greed, as long as there is a BOSS, Evolution Points come very easily!

"With 4 Evolution Points left, let's boost combat power first."

Qin Feng found that he could no longer instantly kill a Silver-grade BOSS just like that.

Therefore, his combat power also needs to be boosted; otherwise, encountering higher-level BOSSes will prolong the battle time and easily lead to trouble.

[You have consumed 3 Evolution Points, with 1 remaining.]

[Instant Shadow Slash (Silver → Gold → Platinum): Blinks in a designated direction (up to 15 → 18 → 21 meters), enters stealth (lasting 5 → 6 → 7 seconds), and deals 3 → 4 → 5 slashes to all enemies in the path. Cooldown 12 (10.43) seconds.]

[Slash Width: 2.1 → 2.6 → 3.1 meters. Each slash adds 100 → 150 → 200 attack power.]

"Evolving Instant Shadow Slash didn't reduce the cooldown time?"

"A bit frustrating."

"However… relying solely on Instant Shadow Slash, I can also achieve infinite stealth."

"Three slashes turned into five slashes, this damage is explosive!"

With 1 Evolution Point left, there are no skills to evolve temporarily.

Qin Feng glanced at the remaining loot again.

There was nothing he could use, but there was a Silver-grade warrior skill book 'War Cry', which increases the team's attack power and defense by 20 points after casting.

Once this skill book is learned, it can double the entire team's damage and tankiness in the early stage!

"If this were a warrior from the previous life, having this skill in the early stage would be simply invincible."

"But now, this skill book can only be sold…"

Qin Feng felt a bit regretful.

He maintained stealth and looked around…

This dense forest is already a level 4-5 monster respawn area, and that originally level 2 Cursed One also upgraded from level 2 to level 4 because it digested Lifespan, which is why it dropped level 4 loot for Qin Feng.

In the shadows of the woods not far away, there were three rotting 'limb-grafted Crawlers', cautiously eyeing the dead body of the Cursed One.

Before they could react…

Instant Shadow Slash!

-725!

-725!

-725!

Level 4 Common mobs have a health pool of around a thousand points.

But with a single Instant Shadow Slash from Qin Feng, his figure first appeared for about 0.1 seconds, and then instantly dashed more than ten meters away.

Along the path, the three 'limb-grafted Crawlers' each suffered two slashes and were instantly killed on the spot!

[You have killed 'limb-grafted Crawler (Lv4)'.]

[You have gained 80 Experience Points.]

[You have gained 5 days of Lifespan (tradeable).]

[…]

A series of system prompts rang in Qin Feng's mind.

Easily slaying the three mobs, he returned to the mobs' corpses and cast 'Hand of Greed'…

"Fortunately, the Hand of Greed has no cooldown."

"It's just a pity that each monster's corpse can only be looted once…"

If anyone knew Qin Feng's thoughts, they would probably curse him out.

One hundred percent triple rewards and you're still not satisfied?

You still want to loot a few more times?

Have you no shame?

After learning 'Instant Shadow Slash', Qin Feng's mob-farming efficiency suddenly skyrocketed!

"It looks like reaching level 10 will only take two hours."

Qin Feng's lips curled slightly.

Just as Qin Feng was planning to push for level 10 and extract his abilities into reality.

Blue Star Reality.

All over the globe, people finally began reaching level 3 one after another, and these people all returned to reality at the first possible moment.

Originally, more and more people entered the God Forsaken Game because they fell asleep.

In reality, their bodies turned into a translucent, illusory state, causing panic among people around them, and even various rumors about the end of the world spread rapidly!

But as the level 3 players returned to reality one after another…

The truth was finally known to the public!

"After falling asleep, our consciousness actually goes to a Land Abandoned by Gods?"

"God Forsaken Game? Just like an online game?"

"Playing games can make you stronger? I, Zhuo Benwei, am publicly invincible!"

"Don't be too optimistic, it is said that most people are constantly dying now, and half of their Lifespan is deducted with each Death."

"Killing monsters in the game can grant Lifespan? Doesn't that mean eternal life can be achieved?"

"Who knows if this thing is true or false?"

"Being able to make everyone in the world enter the game after falling asleep, who can explain this power?"

"It's true, there's an old fogey in my town whose Lifespan was running out in a few days. He went out, died a few times, and dropped dead on the spot. All the players in the town received a Death announcement, I just don't know if he died in reality too…"

Innumerable discussion posts appeared on national and major online forums worldwide.

The God Forsaken Game instantly became a buzzword on all websites globally!

Jianghai City, Jianghai Normal University.

Qin Xiaoyou and Chu Yan, who had already returned to the dorm to rest, naturally also learned about the God Forsaken Game!
