The former leader of the Abyssal Nine, Celestial Star!

It was raining in the Magic City Ruins today.

When Qin Feng arrived at the Tower of Divine Authority riding Osirio, he discovered that there were many players outside the tower, lining up and forming parties in the rain, wanting to enter the Tower of Divine Authority.

Either male players were looking for female partners, or female players were looking for male partners.

Furthermore, their slogans for seeking parties were a bit exaggerated…

"Level 16 Priest, two thousand DPS, looking for a big brother with over eight thousand DPS! Must be able to dodge skills without taking damage! I can only heal myself, if you want to rely on my heals to survive, get lost!"

"Level 18 Archer, looking for a nimble sister who can dodge skills without taking damage to cooperate. My DPS is five thousand, I hope yours is too!"

"Level 17 Mage looking for a big brother who can protect me, DPS over five thousand—my DPS is five thousand but my Agility isn't high enough, I can't dodge some skills. Don't bother me if you can't guarantee I won't take damage!"

"Level 18 professional healer, looking for a sister with over ten thousand DPS, as long as you don't get one-shot, I can ensure you won't die throughout the whole run!"

…

The Level 20 Golden-level BOSS, a clone of Moon Deficient Queen · Virginie.

If you want to kill it, a team DPS of ten thousand is the basic requirement, otherwise, the mechanics in the middle won't be handled in time, and it will definitely result in a wipe.

Therefore, requiring this split between one male and one female player actually sets the bar quite high.

If calculated by DPS…

At the current stage, the top official powerhouses in Great Xia already have DPS breaking one hundred thousand. These are people like An Yu and Wan Ye Wei Yu, who, with equipment support, are currently clearing BOSSes very smoothly and developing at a fast speed.

But aside from them, even those whose DPS just breaks ten thousand can already be considered strong.

You have to know, back when Qin Feng killed the Epic-grade giant octopus, An Yu, Black Plum Da Lizi, and Snowy Day only had thirty to fifty thousand DPS, while Ghost Spirit had just over one hundred thousand DPS at that time…

As for other players, the proportion of players who can break ten thousand DPS does not exceed 1%.

For this group of players, they naturally don't think much of the nine god-given books that can be obtained for free… Instead of wasting time agonizing over it, it's better to grind more monsters, which would earn back the lifespan saved.

This has led to the current situation outside the Tower of Divine Authority where it is not easy for players to find an 'other half' teammate who meets the requirements.

Basically, they have high requirements for others and low requirements for themselves.

Before Qin Feng even landed, he saw many players' slogans…

Some people seemed to have been looking for teammates for a long time without finding any.

Perhaps such people could be called 'leftover men and women'?

Looking at those slogans that were more exaggerated than the last, Qin Feng was speechless.

"No wonder they are left over."

"If there were truly normal players with enough strength, they would have already found suitable teammates and gone in to challenge."

"How could they possibly be left outside for so long?"

Looking at it from another angle.

Since the God Forsaken Game descended, any somewhat normal player already has their own social circles and guild circles.

Those with real strength have long since paired up with acquaintances.

Even if some acquaintances have already cleared it, it's no big deal to ask an acquaintance for a favor and form a party.

As for those looking outside…

They have more or less some issues.

In Qin Feng's view…

Forcing their way through when they can't beat it, and still hoping to find a stronger teammate—why on earth would someone carry you?

It would be better to grind more monsters, develop more, and come back after getting stronger!

Outside the Tower of Divine Authority, there were also some people shouting about paid carries; as long as you pay three to five years of lifespan, a powerhouse will take you in one-on-one to 'freeload' the nine god-given books.

Although it requires payment, it is much cheaper than paying to buy the god-given books.

There are still occasionally people willing to give them business.

…

When Qin Feng arrived here, he did not enter the Tower of Divine Authority directly.

On one hand, there were people challenging inside, so the gates of the Tower of Divine Authority were tightly closed.

On the other hand, Qin Feng saw a young man setting up a stall nearby…

It was precisely that young man who caught Qin Feng's attention.

That was a young man wearing Platinum-grade robes; he didn't look old, but above his head was the code name 'Celestial Star'!

"Celestial Star, the leader of the Abyssal Nine from the previous life?"

Qin Feng's expression was a bit strange.

The Abyssal Nine from the previous life was a famous and powerful guild in Great Xia. Although there were only nine members, because each of them possessed an Abyss Curse skill, their overall strength was extremely formidable!

This Abyssal Nine had an extremely strong voice in Great Xia, and the one leading them was this 'Celestial Star'.

However, in this life…

This young man didn't get the chance to obtain the abyss vase, and here he was, setting up a stall to sell 'magic potions'.

The reason Qin Feng noticed him was also because the name of his stall was 'Selling magic potions that increase damage against females, effective against the clone of Moon Deficient Queen · Virginie'.

"Celestial Star, his original class is Alchemist."

"But he can perform class transmutation… which means he can transmute himself into any class, but the effects of that class's skills are only 80% effective."

"Once a class is chosen for transmutation, it is basically fixed, because the cost of changing classes is huge, and all previous equipment and skills will become invalid…"

"At the same time, an Alchemist can also concoct all kinds of bizarre magic potions."

Magic potions that increase damage against females were just one type.

There were others like increasing damage against males, damage reduction against females, damage reduction against males, increasing damage against BOSSes… and so on.

Because the challenge target of this Tower of Divine Authority is to defeat the clone of Moon Deficient Queen · Virginie.

Therefore, this young man came here to sell magic potions that increase damage against females.

"He has a good head for business."

Qin Feng thought to himself that he could buy more various types of magic potions from this guy to use later.

Although the damage increase isn't much, it is an independent damage multiplier zone after all, and it might come in handy at some point.

However…

At this very moment, the situation for this young man, Celestial Star, was not very good.

Because in front of his stall, more than a dozen female players were gathering and launching terrible verbal attacks at him.

"Huh? What do you mean? This magic potion increases damage against females, are you discriminating against women here?"

"You've got some nerve! If this magic potion enters the market, how much harm will it do to us women?"

"You are not allowed to sell it, you hear me? Celestial Star, is it? I've remembered you. If I see you selling this crappy magic potion again, our Rose Flower Guild will declare war on your guild!"

"This is too outrageous! You disgusting man! You want to oppress us women, right?"

"Hmph, Tornado Slash!"

As a female player swung the longsword in her hand, she actually destroyed the stall in front of the young man directly; over a dozen bottles of magic potions shattered one after another, and pale blue potion liquid flowed all over the ground!

And where would 'Celestial Star' have seen such a scene?

This young man was completely dumbfounded; he never expected that selling a magic potion could attract a group of lunatics.

But the situation was overwhelming; his class strength wasn't high, and furthermore, there were too many of them, so he really couldn't do anything.

He could only be submissive, intending to swallow his pride and pack up his things to leave…

Qin Feng watched it all, feeling a bit wistful.

If this Celestial Star were the leader of the Abyssal Nine from the previous life, a single skill would have been enough to sweep all those female players away; would it have been their turn to chatter away here?

It was also at this moment.

Qin Feng descended riding Osirio!

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

And Qin Feng, with the pitch-black wings representing Death unfolding behind him, landed instantly beside Celestial Star: "Buddy, give me some of those magic potions."

The arrival of Osirio and the appearance of Qin Feng instantly ignited the scene.

Looking at Qin Feng's chilling yet handsome figure, with six wings flapping behind him and his whole body shrouded in the aura of Death, the two words 'Shadow' above his head made many people around fall into a state of fanaticism!
