“Is having eight hands so great?”

Originally, the players of the Shudao Mountain Guild all thought that Shadow was so strong simply because of his high attack power and ability to maintain permanent invisibility.

But now it seems…

They knew nothing about 'Shadow'!

This fierce battle between Shadow and the Thief Saint… or rather, the one-sided pummeling, was almost equivalent to a battle between gods for the players of the Shudao Mountain Guild!

Because…

The methods used by both sides were completely beyond their comprehension!

Simply put, they couldn't even understand this kind of battle, let alone participate in it.

At the current stage, all players globally were still in the exploration phase regarding 'Superior Affix', and hadn't even figured out how many types of Superior Affix existed in total…

It could be said that 99.99% of players worldwide hadn't even personally come into contact with a 'Superior Affix'!

Precisely because of this, Tejima Ichiro and his group from Japan had fallen into such a desperate situation…

Of course, it wasn't they themselves who were desperate, but the other citizens of Japan…

"Come to think of it, this Thief Saint is really tanky."

"That's right. I saw its total HP was only 4.25 million. Logically, with Shadow's damage magnitude, two skills should have been enough to one-shot it."

"It's a level 50 NPC after all, so it must be hard to kill."

"Eh, wait, why did the big shot suddenly stop? That guy still has half his HP!"

"Huh? He really stopped…"

The members of the Shudao Mountain Guild looked bewildered and uncertain.

Just then.

Qin Feng, wearing the leather armor 'Roslav Contract', appeared not far in front of them. He had actually already sheathed the daggers in both his hands and looked relaxed and at ease.

This scene made the hearts of the Shudao Mountain Guild players skip a beat.

The young girl Bamboo, riding a chubby giant panda, asked tentatively with questioning beautiful eyes: "Big Brother, is that Thief Saint unkillable? Does it have some kind of life-saving method?"

Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled: "It can be killed, but there's no need… The system just notified me that I have subdued this guy, and he is willing to return to my guild Hideout with me."

As long as you beat the Thief Saint down to half health, you have successfully subdued this NPC.

This was intelligence Qin Feng had learned in his previous life.

Now it seems, this intelligence was indeed correct.

However…

Right now, the Thief Saint is still in a 'nightmare state', still over there bumping into the wall in panic.

Regarding this, Qin Feng couldn't do anything but wait for him to break out of the nightmare state on his own.

Fortunately, this type of NPC has their Superior Affix stacked quite high, so he will recover in another ten seconds or so.

"Huh?"

Hearing Qin Feng say this, everyone in the Shudao Mountain Guild was dumbfounded.

Beaten… beaten into submission?

Originally, they thought Shadow had come over to help them deal with this NPC and kill him.

But they never expected that this NPC would actually submit!

"Then… can he return the things he stole from us?"

A burly, big-waisted man from the Shudao Mountain Guild looked at Qin Feng, a bit embarrassed: "A key quest item, a whip, was stolen by him, and now the quest is stuck; I can't complete it at all…"

When he said this.

Not just Qin Feng, but all the surrounding Shudao Mountain players, dozens of pairs of eyes, all looked at him.

"A whip?"

"Bro, I can't tell, you sure play wild!"

"What kind of quest requires a whip? I have a friend who wants to see it!"

"Uh, I heard that at the Tower of Divine Authority in the ruins of Yunxiao City, you can buy strange Books of Divine Empowerment, with whips, candles, blue happy pills, everything you could imagine…"

Facing everyone's curiosity.

The burly man coughed and said with a blushing face: "Forget it, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything… Ahem."

"…"

Qin Feng helplessly covered his forehead.

The people of Sichuan, awesome!

Qin Feng could only tell them: "The things he stole probably can't be retrieved; they've all been exchanged for Lifespan. However, you can buy good things from him…"

"Good things? What kind of good things?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

"Come and see for yourselves."

Qin Feng adjusted the permissions regarding the NPC 'Thief Saint · William Scott'.

This NPC had two configurable permissions.

One was the purchase permission for the 'Thieving Saint Talisman', and the other was the skill learning permission for 'Thieving Saint's Hand'.

Qin Feng did not intend to make the latter public for now.

The former could be made public, after all, this item wasn't cheap.

The more that are sold, the more tax revenue Qin Feng gets!

And so…

Finally, when the Thief Saint recovered from the nightmare state, he was initially a bit dizzy.

"Asa——"

"What's the situation?"

"What was I doing just now? Why is my head so dizzy?"

Of course, he didn't know he had just been frantically bumping into the wall…

Immediately after, this guy checked his system notification log and was instantly stunned on the spot.

In that short amount of time just now, he had actually lost half his HP and was forced by the God Forsaken Game rules system to be designated as an NPC belonging to the Blue Star human player 'Shadow''s guild!

From then on, he could not betray Shadow, could not betray the 'Shadow' Guild, and was forced to provide basic services of 'Thieving Saint Talisman' and 'Thieving Saint's Hand' to Shadow and his guild!

Even his daily actions could only follow 'Shadow''s instructions!

Just as he was looking bewildered.

"Come here."

Qin Feng called out from afar.

Then, the NPC Thief Saint, wearing black leather armor and possessing eight hands, trotted over, using both hands and feet, very nimbly!

After he got close…

Everyone discovered that this guy had a black veil covering his face, with eerie, bone-white patterns on the veil. They couldn't tell what he looked like, only seeing a pair of narrow, elongated eyes.

It was clear that this guy was indeed completely different from the humans of Blue Star.

Not only did he have eight hands, but his pupils were also different.

Most importantly…

Everyone seemed to see a certain 'humiliation' and 'pride' in his eyes.

"Asa——Blue Star humans? Just an inferior race with only two hands!"

"I have actually become your guild NPC…"

The Thief Saint was extremely indignant.

"Hey, what's wrong with two hands? Is having eight hands so great? Even with your eight hands, didn't you still lose to our big brother Shadow?"

The young girl Bamboo sneered.

"In our race, even the lowest commoners have four hands!"

"And I am of the most noble Eight-Armed Royal Family!"

"Asa!! We are the supreme wealth plunderers in the universe——"

He still wanted to brag.

But he was interrupted by a sentence from Qin Feng: "Stealing is just stealing, what wealth plunderers… Eight hands make it convenient to commit crimes, right? Whatever Eight-Armed Royal Family, I say you are a Barbie Royal Family, and you have to accept it."

For Qin Feng, where this guy came from didn't matter.

What was important was that this guy's 'Thieving Saint's Hand' skill was indeed good!

And so…

Qin Feng clicked on this guy's service items.

Selling Thieving Saint Talismans and such, he would tell the Shudao Mountain Guild later.

He had to learn 'Thieving Saint's Hand' first.

However, when he opened the list and saw the special skill description that only the guild leader could see… he couldn't help but be stunned.

Damn.

This skill really is discriminatory?

"Each arm calculates cooldown time independently?!"

"My two hands are equivalent to being able to use this skill twice per cooldown."

"This guy has eight hands, he can use it eight times?!"

"No wonder after I learned it in my previous life, I got two skills; it was actually because I have two hands?"
