Tejima-kun, you will be invincible!

Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh; as expected of someone who maintained a top ten global ranking in his previous life even while being hunted and wanted.

This girl Ghost Spirit's Talent was truly terrifying.

To be honest, the help Qin Feng had given her wasn't actually that much.

If he really wanted to help, Ghost Spirit's combat power would be at least several times stronger now. However, if he did that, her actual combat experience and on-the-spot response capabilities might be significantly weaker than they were now…

Compared to 'paper combat power' like equipment and skills, Qin Feng felt that the most fundamental core of whether a player could rise up lay in their combat awareness.

To put it simply.

Even if Qin Feng's current attributes, equipment, and skills were given to another person, that person might still be killed directly by an Epic BOSS.

So…

In terms of combat awareness, Ghost Spirit was undoubtedly at the world's top level.

This also allowed her to soar directly into the sky after receiving just a little help from Qin Feng.

Though she certainly wasn't as ridiculously strong as Qin Feng.

But being able to explore ruins and kill the final Diamond-level BOSS at this stage showed just how terrifying Ghost Spirit's combat Talent was!

One must know that her current paper combat power was not abnormal.

And a Diamond-level BOSS…

Referencing the 'Nightmare Hell Flower' that Qin Feng got the first kill on, one could fully appreciate how difficult it was to clear a BOSS of this level!

But even under such difficulty,

Ghost Spirit actually managed to kill the BOSS and even obtained a 'bone rune' in the end!

“Teacher?”

Ghost Spirit was a bit confused; she felt like Qin Feng was currently dazing out a bit.

“It's nothing. This item is indeed useful to me. Including this one of yours, I've just happened to collect three.”

Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, “Keep this lifespan safe.”

As he spoke, he handed over five thousand years of lifespan.

The value of a bone rune might be priceless to Qin Feng, or it might not be worth much… the key depended on what could be obtained within the God of Bones' tomb ruins after collecting all three.

But regardless, it was definitely worth five thousand years of lifespan.

When Ghost Spirit saw the five thousand years of lifespan, she was immediately startled: “Ah, it's fine, Teacher can just take it and use it. I have enough lifespan.”

“You have enough my foot.”

Qin Feng patted her head: “I see there's a gap between your real-world attributes and your in-game ones, and you haven't even extracted several of your skills yet. You call this enough?”

He knew she was frugal, but he didn't expect her to be this stingy with herself.

She was someone working for Qin Feng after all…

If she was reluctant to spend even this bit of lifespan, people who didn't know better would think Qin Feng was broke!

“But, but… five thousand years is too much…”

Ghost Spirit had never seen so much lifespan in her life. Her small face was written all over with refusal as she nervously toyed with the chain blade in her hand.

Qin Feng: “If I give it to you, just take it.”

Ghost Spirit: “Oh.”

In the end, she could only choose to obey Qin Feng…

…

While Qin Feng was taking Ghost Spirit and tracking all the way toward Sakura Country,

Because of the light and shadow crystal Qin Feng left behind before leaving, the images displayed within it threw countless East Capital players into a state of confusion!

“Didn't they say Shadow colluded with the BOSS and brought the BOSS statue here?”

“How did it become Tejima Ichiro?”

“Damn it, Tejima Ichiro, is this guy a traitor to Japan?”

“Wait, look closely at those images and listen to the sound. It seems Tejima Ichiro said he received a hidden reward for worshiping the statue?”

“Yes, I listened carefully eighteen times and confirmed it repeatedly. As long as one person worships the statue afterward, Tejima Ichiro will gain 0.001 to all attributes!”

“Infinite stacking? No wonder he wanted to move the statue to reality; this is an opportunity to become infinitely stronger!”

“But the BOSS is clearly using Tejima Ichiro! It caused the deaths of over a hundred thousand people in East Capital!”

“Tejima Ichiro, you killed my whole family. I am irreconcilable with you!”

…

As a series of comments spread, the entire East Capital of Sakura Country had fallen into Chaos.

Especially Tejima Ichiro, who was still leveling up in the 'Scorching Quicksand Land.' When he learned the news that his actions had actually been recorded by someone using a 'light and shadow crystal' and released by Shadow, he was completely dumbfounded.

“What's going on?”

“A light and shadow crystal is a high-level item. It's said you can only buy it through a High-Level Divine Authority Tower! Or buy it from certain NPCs at an extremely expensive markup…”

“He actually used it just to record us moving the statue?”

“Shadow said his Cousin recorded it?”

“He doesn't have a damn Cousin!”

Tejima Ichiro was almost going crazy.

As it turned out, someone in his team told him that news must have been leaked first saying Shadow colluded with the BOSS, which prompted Shadow to release this light and shadow crystal… otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until just before leaving to release it.

This caused Tejima Ichiro's expression to change.

He quickly looked at the female priest in the team, Yanagi Mina!

As a result, Yanagi Mina met his gaze without any guilt: “That's right, Tejima-kun, I'm the one who had the news spread. As it turns out, this successfully dispelled our official's idea of cooperating with Shadow!”

“Now the official is no longer letting Shadow come to kill the BOSS, because they already know that the BOSS can let Tejima-kun stack attributes infinitely!”

“So… our official is also very expectant, hoping for Tejima-kun's rise in the future!”

“We've already hidden that goddess statue and are currently transporting it onto a freighter… The first stop is planned for Great Xia's Northeast!”

Yanagi Mina said with a cold laugh: “Let those stupid Great Xia people worship the statue! Right now, even the Great Xia Official can't spread news that quickly. Once we arrive today, we'll start harvesting immediately…”

“Tejima-kun, you will be invincible!”

“So what if you bear a bad name? As long as you can rise, then history will be written by you. Why worry about these mere insults now?”

Hearing these words, Tejima Ichiro's vision went dark.

“Didn't I tell you guys to wait and see? Why take matters into your own hands?”

Tejima Ichiro's face changed drastically: “Wait, the statue cannot be sent to Great Xia! Don't take Great Xia people for fools. If you're going to send it, send it further away, or to some small countries with poor information access…”

Now that things had turned out like this, he had no choice but to think about the next strategy.

At this time, the cold, white-haired assassin 'Hojo' on the side said: “Don't worry, Tejima. This woman has no brains, but our official still does. I just asked the superiors; it's been decided that the first stop will be North Chao Country. It's closer and more secure.”

“Before we deal with Shadow, we cannot touch Great Xia.”

Tejima Ichiro's eyelids twitched; he kept having a bad premonition.

But things had reached this point, and he could only take it one step at a time.

“As long as my attributes can stack up, all problems will be solved…”

This wasn't just Tejima Ichiro's thought.

It was also the thought of the others in Tejima Ichiro's team.

And it was the thought of the officials in Sakura Country who knew about this 'top secret' plan!

…

From Great Xia's Magic City to Sakura Country's East Capital.

This was the second time Qin Feng had flown this route. All he saw along the way was the sea surface, which was a bit dull. The nearly one-hour journey was somewhat hard to endure.

Fortunately, he had Ghost Spirit by his side to talk to.

“Ah? There's land ahead!”

Ghost Spirit had been flying for so long she was confused and didn't know where she was.

Finally seeing land appear ahead made her even more confused.

Why was the 'culprit' so far away?

They had flown for nearly an hour at Osirio's supersonic speed!

“It's Sakura Country.”

Qin Feng reminded her.

This reminder left Ghost Spirit dumbfounded: “Huh? We actually… went abroad?!”

This girl was so silly that she just followed Qin Feng without knowing anything.

Qin Feng couldn't help but suspect that if he took her out and sold her one day, she wouldn't even know, right?

Right now!

Qin Feng and Ghost Spirit were riding on Osirio's back together, both maintaining a stealth state as they flew toward the coastline!

According to Ghost Spirit's tracking skill, the culprit was getting closer and closer.

From afar, Qin Feng saw a heavyweight freighter slowly sailing out of the East Capital harbor.

“On the ship?”

“Wanting to send it out of the country?”

Qin Feng was thoughtful.

Silently, Osirio flew over the freighter's deck and saw many ten-meter-long containers. Most of them were decoys, and the real long-tailed snake goddess statue was inside one of them…

Qin Feng took Ghost Spirit and jumped straight down, landing on the freighter's deck!

He originally wanted to directly kill the BOSS inside the container.

Suddenly, Qin Feng heard some Sakura Country officials talking and chatting on the deck.

Vaguely, they mentioned something about North Chao, Duanchuan City, and so on.

This gave Qin Feng a strange expression.

“They're going to transport the statue to North Chao Country?”

“Impressive.”

“Shouldn't I record this and give it to North Chao Country as a gift?”

Qin Feng repeated his old trick. Maintaining his stealth state, he took out a light and shadow crystal and directly recorded the 'secret' conversation of this group of Sakura Country officials!

And during this time…

Several detection wards on the freighter's deck with anti-stealth levels of 7-9 were faithfully scouting for nearby stealth units.

Unfortunately, they were completely unable to detect the presence of Qin Feng and Ghost Spirit!

These people would never have imagined…

That after Qin Feng teleported away, he would actually bring someone back directly, and most terrifyingly, he accurately found the location of the 'long-tailed snake goddess statue'!

This time…

Sakura Country was not only going to have their efforts come to naught, but they were also going to face a serious diplomatic crisis!!
