The moment the BOSS fell, a series of system notifications echoed in Qin Feng's mind.
After throwing the Venomous Dart, he activated Subshadow again, returning to stealth mode.
"The cooldown for Subshadow is still 26 seconds, a bit too long."
"It affects the efficiency of farming monsters..."
"However, it's best to evolve 'Greedy Hand' first with the Evolution Points."
Qin Feng thought to himself.
Silently, he approached the Swift Runner's corpse and collected a pile of loot.
To Wang Meng and his group of six, this scene appeared incredibly bizarre.
They hadn't seen a single shadow of a person.
Yet, the loot beside the BOSS's corpse suddenly vanished?
"Friend, thank you."
Wang Meng, knowing the expert was nearby, respectfully clasped his hands in the air, sincerely expressing his gratitude.
"Thank me?"
Qin Feng spoke calmly, his voice seemingly coming from all directions: "In the wild, don't trust others so easily..."
These words made Wang Meng's expression turn serious: "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, big brother."
In the Abandoned Gods Game, only the town is a safe zone.
Outside the town, players can kill each other, and upon death, whether it's [tradable life] or [non-tradable life], half will drop!
Of course, players can only pick up [tradable life].
As for [non-tradable life], players cannot directly pick it up unless they use monsters to absorb it, then kill the monsters to convert 50% of it...
Clearly.
If Qin Feng wanted to harm Wang Meng now, he could easily take them out, but there was no need.
Because nothing valuable would drop from them!
These guys were too poor!
At this moment, Wang Meng also understood.
If this expert truly had any intentions against them, he wouldn't have bothered to warn them.
This made Wang Meng even more grateful.
"Then we'll be on our way, we won't disturb you while you enjoy your loot. My name is Wang Meng, if you ever need help, feel free to find me."
Wang Meng, being sensible, said this and prepared to leave with his group.
However, the 'pretty' girl covered in mud behind him suddenly waved her hand: "Big brother, I'm Blackbriar Big Plum, can I add you as a friend?"
"..."
Hearing the girl's self-introduction, Qin Feng almost burst into laughter.
He actually knew this girl, of course, from his previous life.
She was called this because her real name was Lin Liyu, with her father surnamed Lin and her mother surnamed Li, hence the name 'Blackbriar Big Plum' came into being...
This girl was indeed pretty, lively, and cute, with a fiery figure.
As for her class, it was the hidden class 'Prophet', much stronger than a regular Mage.
In his previous life, Qin Feng had even collaborated with her a few times.
"It seems her start is the same as in the previous life, teaming up with Wang Meng right away."
"Later, she became an official member of Great Xia..."
Qin Feng shook his head silently.
He saw no need to make connections with her now.
So he simply said, "Sorry, I'm not interested in Blackbriar Big Plum."
The girl, unwilling to give up on adding Qin Feng as a friend, tried to persist, but the middle-aged female Priest in their team, with a helpless expression, dragged her away...
Watching their departing figures, Qin Feng felt a bit sentimental.
Wang Meng's class 'Holy Shield Battle' was indeed tanky.
And the middle-aged female Priest in their team was also a hidden class 'Oracle Priest', with initial healing twice that of a regular Priest.
Otherwise, this team wouldn't have lasted so long.
"My attack seems like a one-shot."
"But limited by Subshadow's cooldown, the attack interval is too long."
"From start to finish, it took nearly two minutes to take down this BOSS and three Polluters..."
In two minutes, a regular team would have been wiped out under the Swift Runner's hand...
Qin Feng shook his head, not thinking too much.
This time, he gained a lot!
After Wang Meng and his group left, Qin Feng used 'Greedy Hand' on the Swift Runner's corpse.
---
[Congratulations, you have gained 2 Evolution Points!]
[You have gained 55 days of life (tradable).]
---
A Bronze BOSS gave Qin Feng a total of 4 Evolution Points, plus 110 days of tradable life, and five pieces of loot.
"Not a bad haul."
"The drops include three pieces of equipment and two skill books..."
Only one piece of equipment was usable by Qin Feng.
In the Abandoned Gods Game, there are so many classes that it's normal to get items for other classes.
---
[Swift Leather Greaves (Bronze): Assassin-type equipment. Physical Defense +9, All Elemental Resistance +5. Cooldown Speed +15%. Equipment Requirement: Level 2]
---
The defense and elemental resistance of this equipment weren't much use to Qin Feng.
But the 15% cooldown speed was nice.
He put it on immediately!
"The cooldown time for Subshadow reduced from 26 seconds to 22.61 seconds, not bad."
In the Abandoned Gods Game, there is no 'cooldown reduction' in the conventional attributes, only 'cooldown speed'.
Later on, the cooldown speed attribute can be stacked to several hundred percent.
For example, 400% cooldown speed equals four times faster cooldown, equivalent to five times the original speed, so a skill with a 20-second cooldown now only takes 4 seconds.
In simple terms, [Final Cooldown Time = Base Cooldown Time / (1 + Cooldown Speed)].
"Keep farming monsters."
"Just 1 more Evolution Point, and I can evolve Greedy Hand to Emerald level."
Qin Feng remained in stealth, continuing deeper into the dark forest.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng's tradable life had reached 268 days!
"I still have quite a few other class equipment skill books."
"Once my backpack is full, I'll head back to town to exchange them for tradable life..."
"Then I can consider extracting equipment skills back to reality!"
It's no exaggeration to say.
Qin Feng's development speed was a hundred times faster than in his previous life.
It sounds like his development speed in the previous life was very slow.
But...
There was no other way.
As the number of players in town increased, the monsters outside would also gather.
New players trying to hunt monsters would face rapidly increasing difficulty!
Instead, many player teams were hunted by groups of monsters, continuously losing life!
For example, in Shell Town now...
Wang Meng, leading his hidden class team, had already returned to an area closer to town, where no Level 2 monsters spawned, only Level 1 monsters.
To their shock, when they returned, they quickly saw a six-player team being surrounded by more than ten Crawlers!
If dealing with a single Crawler, many teams could handle it now.
But...
More than ten Crawlers?
"So many Crawlers? Are you kidding me?"
A young man cursed in panic, only to be pounced on by three Crawlers, who tore him apart!
