Venturing deep into the Atlantic Ocean, the fifth class advancement!

As for Ernie Ross, the Quivering Clown, who had already advanced to Legendary-grade, Qin Feng did not kill it.

After all, there was no shortage of Legendary BOSSes, but for plundering and exploiting players across the entire Los Angeles Ruins, the existence of this clown was the most convenient.

Thus…

The protection fee has increased!

Previously, Qin Feng collected five thousand years of lifespan per day.

Now, he directly collects fifteen thousand years of lifespan per day.

A discount for seven days a week, totaling one hundred thousand years of lifespan!

Of course, this price hike would not make the players in Los Angeles Ruins unbearable, as during this period, these players had also leveled up considerably, and the amount of lifespan they could farm daily had increased.

It was equivalent to a certain degree of inflation.

So, it was quite reasonable for Qin Feng to collect a bit more protection fee, right?

And after Ernie Ross, the Quivering Clown reached Legendary-grade, its power became even more terrifying…

It could simultaneously create seven Quivering Clowns, with no distance restrictions on their range of action!

"Three of them will continue to stay in the Los Angeles Ruins."

"The other four will disperse to the surrounding City Ruins, preparing to collect protection fees in other cities…"

The blonde beauty Stina Mozer, the sole Hidden Class 'Dragon Hall Guard', with a handsome attendant's blade hanging at her waist, respectfully bowed to Qin Feng, looking valiant and refreshing.

It must be known that at this time, Stina was already the absolute ruler in the Los Angeles Ruins.

Not only was her personal strength far beyond that of ordinary players, but she also cooperated with Ernie Ross, the Quivering Clown, and most importantly… she had Shadow Qin Feng standing behind her!

On ordinary days, many players in the Los Angeles Ruins would even have to breathe carefully when they saw Stina.

Only in front of Qin Feng did Stina become as docile as a little lamb.

"Those four City Ruins are respectively Santa Monica, Burbank, Glendale, and San Gabriel…"

Stina respectfully reported the situation to Qin Feng, slightly nervous: "Currently, each city can already provide three to five thousand years of lifespan in protection fees per day, and it's voluntary… Of course, all this lifespan will be consolidated and given to you, sir. Our Los Angeles Ruins only takes a 10% service fee from it…"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng nodded, having no objections to this.

If there were really no profit at all, who would work for him?

"I didn't expect that with just a casual arrangement here, the business would naturally expand? Isn't this too mature?"

This somewhat surprised Qin Feng.

After all, within the God Forsaken Game, traveling from one City Ruins to another was at least tens of thousands of kilometers away, with dangers along the way, including terrifying areas with hundred-thousandfold or millionfold lifespan flow rates, and frequent environmental disasters. Ordinary players simply couldn't cross through!

Only agile, Legendary-grade BOSSes like Ernie Ross, the Quivering Clown could traverse those areas and reach neighboring city regions…

And this also made Qin Feng truly recognize Stina's ability to handle affairs.

In this way, Qin Feng could obtain 150,000 to 180,000 years of lifespan per week in North America!

Although the income was temporarily not as good as that from the Great Han Country and probably couldn't compare to the Sakura Country, this was only a part of North America after all.

North America was too large; dealing with it entirely wouldn't be as simple as with the Great Han Country and the Sakura Country.

Qin Feng wasn't in a hurry either. Currently, with the two 'big gold mines' of the Great Han Country and the Sakura Country, he wouldn't lack lifespan. Moreover, in the Harare Ruins in southern Non-China, the Dark Wolf Emperor was also helping to collect protection fees.

In the Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand region, the sculptor Dominic was also helping to integrate resources.

"Well done."

Qin Feng nodded, praising the blonde beauty in front of him, then took out ten enhancement stones from the Greedy Space: "These are very precious equipment enhancement materials. I can sell them to you at a base price of 2000 years of lifespan each, up to ten pieces."

Qin Feng could produce 20 of these per day at a cost of 200 years each. Even if exceeding 20, the price would only slowly increase to 400, 600 years, and so on.

So, selling them for 2000 years each was simply a huge profit.

And for Stina, these enhancement stones were super-rare materials she had never seen before. 2000 years of lifespan each really wasn't expensive!

Under normal circumstances, selling such materials for three to four thousand years each was quite common.

As for these materials Qin Feng had on him, he still had many in stock. Although he had sold some to the Sky Vault Guild and the Great Xia Official, the profit margin and the cost of stockpiling basically offset each other, so Qin Feng's lifespan hadn't increased much for now.

"Alright, then I'll take all of them."

Stina was indeed somewhat eager, her heart beating a little faster.

Enhancement stones could increase one equipment attribute by up to 30%!

As long as her luck wasn't too bad, these ten enhancement stones could make her overall combat power skyrocket!

With good luck, her output could even double!

After all, in the God Forsaken Game, various attributes were multiplicative, so increasing ten affixes by 30% would bring terrifying benefits.

And this was precisely why Qin Feng wanted to make Stina a bit stronger, to firmly establish her ruling position in the Los Angeles Ruins and even across all of North America.

As for equipment, Qin Feng didn't plan to provide support here.

After all, even if he gave her epic or Legendary-grade equipment, she couldn't wear it due to insufficient level.

This place wasn't like the Great Xia Official, which had the 'Big Iron Hammer' that could downgrade equipment…

Thus, after returning from this trip to the Los Angeles Ruins, Qin Feng had over a hundred thousand more years of lifespan on him.

"I can find an opportunity to fully collect the souls for the White Sprout Blade."

Qin Feng didn't hesitate.

He directly went to the Sakura Country, met with Matsushita Xingyue, asked about the situation a bit, and found that they had indeed encountered some trouble here.

Although Matsushita Xingyue repeatedly assured him that she could handle it, Qin Feng still decided to intervene and give those planning to cause trouble a 'little help.'

More than three hours later.

Qin Feng returned from the Sakura Country.

And he had consumed over three hundred thousand years of lifespan in total, finally collecting 20 souls within the White Sprout Blade!

"The base Instant Death Affix of the White Sprout Blade reached 150 points."

"Including the 75.8% increase from the ancient god stone slab…"

"If I convert all my Upper Affixes to Instant Death, I have over 340 points!"

"If I convert them all to Stripping, Corruption, and the like, that's 1360 points!"

This level of Upper Affixes was absolutely terrifying.

Compared to his previous life, this level was already the strongest in the world nine years after the God Forsaken Game descended!

After all, Qin Feng's Instant Death Affix mainly came from the White Sprout Blade, this Immortal-grade divinity armament… while ordinary players by the ninth year hadn't even seen an Immortal-grade BOSS.

"Truly worthy of being the core reward for the historical first place on the Path to the End, it's too abnormal."

Even Qin Feng was somewhat astonished.

Then he glanced at the attribute interface.

"lifespan just broke through 500,000 years, and now it's only 220,000 years left…"

"I can save a bit and wait for Oddity Bro's next arrival."

This time, Qin Feng had higher elemental resistance, higher damage reduction, and could accompany Oddity Bro for a very long time. Most crucially, Grey Chicken was now completely immune to fire damage and could even bathe in lava.

They could accompany Oddity Bro until the end of time!

Qin Feng was a bit curious: if he could really meet a certain condition, would there be a chance to recruit Oddity Bro into the guild?

"Although Oddity Bro is too large in size, he doesn't necessarily have to stay in the guild…"

Qin Feng shook his head, not thinking too much about it for now.

Next was the official trip to the Atlantic Ocean.

Qin Feng first used the teleportation array at home, directly spending a few years of lifespan to teleport to the Boston Ruins in North America.

"A Mythic Life Source Magic Circle, the teleportation fee is too cheap."

Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh.

When he arrived at the Boston Ruins, he unfolded his Death Wings, flew east for a while, quickly entered an area with a hundredfold lifespan flow rate, and saw the sea surface!

"First search the North Atlantic Ocean."

"Then search the South Atlantic Ocean…"

Thinking about the days ahead, Qin Feng really had a headache. The area of the Atlantic Ocean was simply too vast!

Even searching the real Atlantic Ocean wasn't something that could be done overnight.

Not to mention the Atlantic Ocean within the game?

The Atlantic Game Zone, spanning over a million kilometers, had a total area two thousand times larger than the surface area of the real Blue Planet. How easy was it to find a Legendary BOSS within such a vast range?

"Fortunately, there are still many monsters within the ocean range of the Atlantic Game Zone."

"I can search while farming monsters to level up."

This was the only thing that gave Qin Feng some comfort.

And in the depths of the ocean, there would be various environmental disasters. Even the current Qin Feng might not be able to completely withstand them, so being extra careful during the search was never excessive.

…

One day.

Two days…

Until the seventh day.

Qin Feng had already reached the central part of the North Atlantic Game Zone. Since there were coordinate positions in the game, Qin Feng was relatively clear about his location.

He killed and searched all the way in the deep sea.

He didn't encounter any environmental disasters, but monsters came one wave after another.

He didn't see the Abyssal Demon Eye.

Casually slaughtering groups of small monsters allowed Qin Feng to accumulate a large amount of experience points over these seven days.

"I can advance to the fifth class!"

After killing a Diamond-Level giant green-haired turtle BOSS, Qin Feng finally accumulated enough experience points!

Opening the attribute panel, proceed with the fifth class advancement!
