[Shadow Blink Slash (Silver): Assassin skill. Blink in one direction (up to 15 meters) and enter stealth mode (lasting 5 seconds), dealing 3 slashes to all enemies in the path. Cooldown 12 (10.43) seconds. Learning requirement: Level 4]
[Slash width: 2.1 meters. Each slash adds 100 attack points, always considered a backstab, but cannot deal critical damage.]

Qin Feng held the skill book in his hand and learned it immediately.
If he had learned this skill earlier, the time needed to kill that Silver-level Curser would have been cut in half!
Most importantly...
This skill not only allows him to stay in stealth but is also an area damage skill!
As for the cooldown time, 12 seconds is the base cooldown time for the skill, while 10.43 seconds is the actual effective cooldown time.
After all, Qin Feng has a 15% cooldown reduction attribute.
"A 15-meter long, 2.1-meter wide attack range."
"Great for attacking small mobs."
"Through evolution, the range should be increased... but no rush for now."
Qin Feng focused his attention on the 'Greedy Hand.'
He had evolved the Greedy Hand four times before, and now it was the fifth evolution.
The evolution points required were 1 point, 2 points, 3 points, 5 points, and 8 points, respectively.
"So, the evolution points needed for each skill evolution equal the sum of the previous two evolutions?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the sixth evolution for each skill requires 13 evolution points?"
Thinking this, Qin Feng consumed 8 evolution points to evolve the Greedy Hand once again!
---
[You have consumed 8 evolution points, leaving 4 points.]
[Greedy Hand (Emerald→Diamond): Assassin skill. Can be used on monster corpses, with a 160%→220% chance to gain an extra loot reward. The extra loot has a 20%→40% chance to increase by one grade.]
---
Seeing the effect of the skill upgrade, Qin Feng took a deep breath.
"Now, every time I kill a monster, I definitely get two extra loot drops!"
"Killing one monster is like others killing three!"
"And there's even a 20% chance for three extra rewards..."
"And a 40% chance to upgrade a grade!"
With this skill evolution, Qin Feng felt it was becoming more and more overpowered!
When he looked at the next evolution condition for the Greedy Hand, he found that indeed, the next evolution required 13 evolution points.
Without the Greedy Hand, Qin Feng might have struggled to gather those 13 evolution points...
But now, with the Greedy Hand, as long as there's a BOSS, evolution points come easily!
"Still have 4 evolution points left, let's boost combat power first."
Qin Feng realized he could no longer instantly kill Silver-level BOSSes.
So his combat power needed a boost, otherwise, facing higher-level BOSSes, prolonged battles could easily lead to trouble.
---
[You have consumed 3 evolution points, leaving 1 point.]
[Shadow Blink Slash (Silver→Gold→Platinum): Blink in one direction (up to 15→18→21 meters) and enter stealth mode (lasting 5→6→7 seconds), dealing 3→4→5 slashes to all enemies in the path. Cooldown 12 (10.43) seconds.]
[Slash width: 2.1→2.6→3.1 meters. Each slash adds 100→150→200 attack points.]
---
"Evolving Shadow Blink Slash didn't reduce cooldown time?"
"A bit frustrating."
"But... just with Shadow Blink Slash, I can achieve infinite stealth."
"Three slashes turned into five slashes, this damage is explosive!"
With 1 evolution point left, there were no skills to evolve for now.
Qin Feng glanced at the remaining loot.
There was nothing he could use, but there was a Silver-level Warrior skill book 'Battle Roar,' which increases the team's attack and defense by 20 points upon activation.
Once learned, this skill book could double the team's damage and tankiness in the early stages!
"If a Warrior in the previous life had this skill early on, they'd be invincible."
"But now, this skill book can only be sold..."
Qin Feng felt a bit regretful.
He remained in stealth, looking around...
This dense forest was already a 4-5 level monster refresh area, and the originally level 2 Curser had leveled up to 4 after absorbing life, which is why it dropped level 4 loot for Qin Feng.
In the shadows of the nearby woods, three rotting 'Limb-Joining Crawlers' were cautiously eyeing the dead Curser's body.
Before they could react...
Shadow Blink Slash!
-725!
-725!
-725!
...
Level 4 common mobs had around a thousand health points.
But with one Shadow Blink Slash, Qin Feng's figure appeared for about 0.1 seconds before instantly moving over ten meters away.
Along the path, each of the three 'Limb-Joining Crawlers' received two slashes and were killed on the spot!
---
[You have killed 'Limb-Joining Crawler (Lv4)'.]
[You have gained 80 experience points.]
[You have gained 5 days of life (tradeable).]
[...]
---
A series of system prompts echoed in Qin Feng's mind.
After easily slaying three small mobs, he returned to the mob corpses and activated 'Greedy Hand'...
"Luckily, Greedy Hand has no cooldown."
"It's just a pity that each monster corpse can only be looted once..."
If anyone knew Qin Feng's thoughts, they'd probably scold him.
Isn't a guaranteed triple reward satisfying enough?
Still want to loot multiple times?
Where's your sense of shame?
And after learning 'Shadow Blink Slash,' Qin Feng's efficiency in farming mobs skyrocketed!
"Looks like reaching level 10 is just a matter of two hours."
Qin Feng's lips curled into a smile.
...
Just as Qin Feng was planning to push to level 10 and bring abilities into reality.
In the real world on Blue Star.
Globally, people were finally reaching level 3, and all of them returned to reality immediately.
Initially, more and more people were entering the Abandoned Gods Game while asleep.
In reality, their bodies became semi-transparent and illusory, causing panic among those around them, and even various doomsday theories spread rapidly!
But as level 3 players returned to reality one after another...
The truth was finally revealed to the public!
"After falling asleep, our consciousness goes to a Land of Forsaken Gods?"
"Abandoned Gods Game? Like an online game?"
"Playing games can make you stronger? I, Zhuo Benwei, am invincible in real life!"
"Don't be too optimistic, it's said that most people keep dying, losing half their life each time."
"In the game, killing monsters can gain life? Doesn't that mean achieving immortality?"
"Who knows if this is real?"
"Who can explain the power that makes everyone in the world enter the game while asleep?"
"Seriously, there's an old man in my small town, who had only a few days left to live, went out and died a few times, and died on the spot. The whole town received a death announcement, just don't know if he died in reality too..."
Countless discussion threads appeared on forums worldwide.
The Abandoned Gods Game quickly became a hot topic on all global websites!
Jianghai City, Jianghai Normal University.
Qin Xiaoyou and Chu Yan, who had returned to the dormitory to rest, also learned about the Abandoned Gods Game!
