Want to upgrade the BOSS? It’s over.

“Shadow… Shadow?”

Chu Yan heard the team channel discussions and felt a sense of unreality.

She still remembered that when God Forsaken Game first descended, she often heard the name ‘Shadow,’ after all, Shadow had developed in Jianghai Ruins.

For a long time, the codename Shadow only appeared on the Jianghai Ruins leaderboard.

Anyone else who wanted to know Shadow’s level could only ask players from Jianghai City.

But later, as Shadow leveled up to 40 and the national leaderboard opened, Chu Yan felt that this legendary super-powerful individual seemed to be getting further and further away from her…

At this moment, Chu Yan was already a powerful Level 27 player, the Vice Guild Master of the ‘Mengsha River’ Guild in Jianghai Ruins!

But she still remembered that she once had a best friend who step by step walked towards the abyss…

“Qin Xiaoyou…”

Recalling this former best friend, Chu Yan also felt a pang of heartache; she didn’t know why Qin Xiaoyou had become like that?

How could she commit such a huge mistake…

Chu Yan’s parents were both dragged into a state of Chaos by the Epic-grade BOSS ‘Nine Worlds Stone Overseer Hartman’ because of Qin Xiaoyou’s actions!

Originally, seeing her parents in a state of Chaos, Chu Yan was burning with anxiety.

Fortunately, the Great Xia Official found a solution that time, paying a considerable price to send an NPC from another city, which halved the duration of Chaos for those who fell into ‘Chaos’ during that disaster.

“If it weren’t for the official’s help, I would have even thought of finding Shadow…”

Recalling her anxious state at the time, Chu Yan felt a little embarrassed.

Now she often reflects on what happened before…

She often had a thought—could that Shadow really be Qin Xiaoyou’s older brother, Qin Feng?

Chu Yan had not investigated Qin Feng, nor had she investigated ‘Shadow.’

But her intuition told her that her guess was not wrong.

Of course…

Whether this guess was correct was meaningless.

After all, Qin Xiaoyou had already been punished for her sins and no longer existed in this world.

And Chu Yan did not sympathize with Qin Xiaoyou…

Because although Chu Yan’s parents were eventually fine, in that disaster, seven people still died from the BOSS’s Chaos effect. If Shadow hadn’t arrived fast enough and killed the BOSS quickly enough, the death toll would have been even more terrifying!

Was Qin Xiaoyou, who committed such a grave mistake, worthy of sympathy?

“I… can I meet Shadow?”

At this moment, Chu Yan couldn’t help but feel her heart race.

But she didn’t think too much, after all, she knew that she and ‘Shadow’ were completely from different worlds now!

She was indeed the Vice Guild Master of Mengsha River.

But what did a guild like Mengsha River count for in ‘Shadow’s’ eyes?

“I wonder how strong he is now?”

“Not long ago, he killed a Mythic BOSS again, triggering the impending third Devastation Spread…”

“This time, to kill that Diamond Level BOSS, it must be an instant kill, right.”

Chu Yan couldn’t help but think.

Besides her, there were many others around who were excited by the news of Qin Feng’s arrival.

Hei Bu Lin Da Li Zi and her group hadn’t seen Qin Feng in a long time either.

Xia Xue Tian: “Hey, I wonder how high the Big Shot’s output is now.”

Hei Bu Lin Da Li Zi: “Xuexue, your output isn’t low now either; one poisonous heal directly deals tens of millions of damage~”

Xia Xue Tian (dejected): “Just over ten million damage, it’s not even as high as yours, let alone the Big Shot’s, boohoohoo…”

Such conversations made the Sharp-Eyed Archer Youth and Card Master Uncle beside them both burst into tears.

A Priest, a poisonous heal dealing tens of millions of damage!

And still complaining it’s too little!

And still wanting to compare damage with a legitimate magic Hidden Class ‘Prophet’!

Is this even reasonable?

Of course, the most crucial thing was…

The output of this Sharp-Eyed Archer Youth and Card Master Uncle was still not as high as Xia Xue Tian’s, which was truly heart-wrenching!

Finally, Wang Meng from the team also broke out in a cold sweat: “Fortunately, I’m not a damage dealer, so I don’t have to compare output with you guys. And it’s a good thing I have fourteen million HP, so I can withstand the ‘Ancient Mechanical Hunter’s’ targeted attacks and block damage for you…”

Wang Meng paused here, regaining his confidence: “I still have some say in this aspect. Although Big Brother Shadow has high damage, his tankiness might not be comparable to mine!”

Currently, Wang Meng is Level 28.

In terms of defense, he has maxed out everything that can be maxed!

He felt that even if ‘Shadow’ was much higher level than him, being an Assassin, his HP and defense would surely not be as good as his, right?

And no one could answer him on this point…

After all, no one had ever seen ‘Shadow’ take a beating…

In the crowd.

Besides Wang Meng’s team, there were actually many familiar faces from Jianghai City.

For example, the Guild Master of Knight's Hall, ‘Huiyao Wude,’ who is Chen Wuming.

And also the recently risen Guild Master of Evil Dragon Roar Guild, the cute girl with the codename ‘Aowu.’

Currently, in Jianghai Ruins, besides the official, there were three strongest guilds—Mengsha River, Knight's Hall, and Evil Dragon Roar—each sending two players to participate in this Jinling operation.

Because in all of Jianghai City, these dozen or so players had the highest reputation points. If they could enter the Inverted Pyramid, they could buy more items from the mysterious merchant NPC…

They weren’t just representing themselves.

They were also representing their guilds.

And so, upon receiving the news that Qin Feng was coming, everyone felt a surge of excitement.

After all, opportunities to see the world’s strongest individual were too rare!

Chen Wuming even had a serious expression: “My Big Brother is coming; I need to ask him if he has any instructions!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his friend list to ‘Shadow’ and sent a message: “Big Brother! I heard you’re coming to Jinling to farm Ancient Mechanical Hunter? Do you have any instructions? Do you need the area cleared?”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother, if any local player dares to say half a ‘no,’ I’ll directly… pay with their lifespan to make them scram for you, Big Brother!”

Qin Feng, who was rushing towards Jinling, received this message and immediately felt it was absurd.

“I thought you were so tough, going to slaughter all of them, but turns out you’re just paying them to leave?”

Qin Feng grumbled, then asked: “Why are you in Jinling?”

Chen Wuming explained the situation briefly.

Then Qin Feng received a private message from An Yu…

An Yu also asked him if he had any plans for a little while later.

Justice Execution: “Although the Big Shot might instantly kill it, killing that BOSS once only yields at most ten key fragments, which doesn’t solve the problem… Does it require some special operation?”

Upon receiving this message, Qin Feng felt a little emotional.

People were just different.

When Chen Wuming sent a message, he only knew how to flatter.

But An Yu, this official high-ranking person, was different; she directly guessed Qin Feng’s thoughts.

So Qin Feng explained to An Yu what they needed to do later…

Soon!

Qin Feng’s request was directly conveyed to An Yu’s group.

Both the official team in Jinling and the strategy team of the Netherworld Guild learned of Qin Feng’s plan. For a moment, everyone was shocked and found it incredible!

“What? You want the BOSS to advance?!”

“It’s over, we’re doomed…”
