No matter how strong Shadow is, isn’t he just a man?

If this were anywhere else, such behavior from Qin Feng would likely invite quite a bit of criticism from players.

After all, preventing people from getting the god-given book for free would indeed cause many lower and middle-tier players to incur unnecessary expenses.

However…

This is the Demon Capital.

Many of the players present had personally experienced the attack by the 'Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals'.

Therefore, they knew very well how important 'Shadow' was to them, to the entire Demon Capital, and even to the entire Great Xia!

After Qin Feng entered the Tower of Divine Authority.

Although the players outside were buzzing with discussion, basically no one blamed Qin Feng.

They were just discussing why 'Shadow' wanted to kill the NPC in the Tower of Divine Authority.

"I heard that the Six-Fingered Warlock in the Jianghai Ruins was disgusting; he set the challenge difficulty very high for female players and charged more for the god-given book, so he ended up being killed by Shadow!"

"Huh? I'm from Jianghai City. I specifically teleported to the Demon Capital to buy the god-given book, but I didn't expect to miss it anyway, TAT~"

"Haha, come to think of it, that NPC was the one really discriminating against women, right? The Rose Flower Guild is so tough, why didn't they go deal with that NPC?"

"Hilarious. I told them about the situation at the Jianghai Tower of Divine Authority before. Do you think they'd dare to do anything about it?"

"Just a bunch of bullies who pick on the weak. Relying on them is worse than relying on my dog, Ah Huang."

"Only Shadow could handle a guy like that."

"Exactly. Honestly, having Shadow around really gives us a sense of security…"

…

Meanwhile.

'Little Wildcat' from the Rose Flower Guild, a petite woman wearing tight leather clothing, was rushing toward the Tower of Divine Authority according to the guild leader 'Confident Rose's' instructions, intending to apologize to Shadow.

Her class was an Assassin, and her movements were extremely agile as she rode a black skeletal horse, moving quickly across the scorched earth.

Along the way, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Her flowing long hair and pretty face with exquisite makeup all highlighted her beauty.

"Shadow…"

"Sigh."

"They are truly stupid to dare offend Shadow. This punch is hitting their own faces…"

"There's really no helping it."

Compared to the other female players in the Rose Flower Guild, 'Little Wildcat' was undoubtedly much more rational.

Because she knew exactly what she wanted.

In Little Wildcat's eyes, everyone in the guild, including the guild leader 'Confident Rose', were idiots. Little Wildcat belonged to the management layer of this guild and was merely using it to profit.

"Although doing my makeup took some time, I am perfect right now."

"I should be able to leave a good impression on Shadow."

Little Wildcat smiled as she rode the skeletal horse forward, revealing a natural and beautiful smile.

Before the God Forsaken Game arrived, she was a somewhat famous beauty blogger, and she also had an alt account that was a well-known contrarian troll on a certain forum.

Now…

She was the highest combat representative of the Rose Flower Guild!

Why could the others in the Rose Flower Guild go around looking for trouble?

It was because they had 'Little Wildcat' backing them.

Just in terms of DPS, Little Wildcat's DPS had already reached over 15,000!

This was already half of what Black Plum Da Lizi and Snowy Day had when Qin Feng killed the Epic-grade giant octopus back then.

Furthermore, her class was an Assassin; with stealth and a full burst combo, basically no one at the current stage could withstand it, except for Tank classes.

It was precisely because of her combat deterrence that the Rose Flower Guild could cause so much trouble.

When players from ordinary guilds encountered people from this guild causing trouble, they would basically just give up some lifespan to end it, so as to avoid provoking 'Little Wildcat'.

Of course, Little Wildcat was very smart; she wouldn't step into the spotlight.

She had co-founded this guild with Confident Rose; she simply let Confident Rose be the guild leader while she hid behind the scenes… They shared the benefits, and if anything happened, she let Confident Rose deal with it directly.

Bad luck would never fall on her head.

"The opportunity has finally arrived…"

Little Wildcat puffed out her chest; she was very confident in her figure and looks.

Furthermore…

"I've seen that Ghost Spirit from Shadow's guild before."

"My style is a bit like hers, and I'm much more mature than that little imp."

"I must take advantage of this apology to win Shadow's favor."

She was also very confident in her techniques for seducing men.

After all, before the God Forsaken Game arrived, she had dated many boyfriends, mostly second-generation wealthy heirs, and the number of simps behind her was countless…

"No matter how strong Shadow is, isn't he just a man?"

She smiled contemptuously.

However, just as she had gotten up and set off for the Tower of Divine Authority.

She had no idea…

How quickly Qin Feng would finish dealing with Virginie's affairs and leave the Tower of Divine Authority!

Even if she had found out the news and rushed over immediately, it wouldn't necessarily have been in time.

And she wanted to put on makeup first?

…

Tower of Divine Authority.

As Qin Feng walked into the tower, what came into view was the clone of 'Moon Deficient Queen · Virginie'.

That was a noblewoman bathing in holy moonlight, wearing moon-white robes; her figure was ethereal and illusory, with ripples of moonlight like water splashes circling her right hand.

When Qin Feng stepped inside, this Queen clone issued him the quest to find her children as usual.

But Qin Feng did not care.

"Kill the clone first and let the original come out."

Qin Feng raised his hand and slashed.

Instantly killing it!

Even though it was just a common attack without stealth, the damage amplification from various sources still caused this single slash to explode with millions in damage!

A Gold-grade clone BOSS was no different from a common mob to Qin Feng.

Yet such a BOSS, for the vast majority of players today, would require them to give it their all and combine the strength of two people to kill…

When the Moon Deficient Queen clone was killed instantly.

The noblewoman figure in the moon-white robes gradually dissipated into moonlight.

Immediately after, amidst a burst of moonlight radiance, a noblewoman wearing moon-white robes descended from the sky and arrived in front of Qin Feng.

Looking at Qin Feng, there was absolutely no emotion in her eyes: "You have passed the challenge, please choose to purchase the god-given book you need…"

Without a male-female pair entering this Tower of Divine Authority, Virginie indeed would not have much of a reaction, no different from a normal NPC.

Qin Feng didn't care.

He didn't put away the dagger in his hand.

Instead, while toying with the dagger, he took two steps back and leaned against the wall.

"I didn't come here to buy a god-given book…"

Immediately after, a sentence in the Ancient God Language, obscure, difficult to understand, ancient, and holy, came from beneath his bone-white mask: "When I arrive, you will be killed, or you can… be redeemed!"

Qin Feng's words in the Ancient God Language echoed inside the tower!

When this sound came out.

The previously emotionless Moon Deficient Queen's eyes filled with disbelief!

Being able to become an NPC, her strength was naturally not weak; in the civilization she originally belonged to, she was a top-tier powerhouse.

A powerhouse of this level, just like Qin Feng in his previous life, might not be able to understand all of the Ancient God Language, but at least could recognize that it was the Ancient God Language.

The most critical part was…

When Virginie heard Qin Feng's Ancient God Language, it directly triggered memories of when she was exiled here!

In the darkness, certain phrases of the Ancient God Language kept echoing in her mind…

Clearly, the Ancient God Language was the language used by Ancient Gods to communicate in the ancient era; a human player capable of speaking this language could absolutely not be a normal player!
