"Sure enough, it's Shadow again! He got the first kill at the Gold level, and he's also the first in the world to reach level 10!"
"Shadow is just too powerful! And I just heard that he even killed a minor celebrity several times!"
"Song Fei, right? I saw his post on Weibo, saying he wants to buy lifespan. What a joke, does this idiot really think he can get revenge on Shadow?"
"Song Fei barely reached level 6 with the help of dozens of his younger sisters, and he still wants to compete with Shadow?"
...
In the Great Xia Nation, players on forums and in various towns were buzzing with discussions.
No one had any faith in Song Fei when it came to his conflict with Shadow!
As for players abroad, the codename 'Shadow' left an even deeper impression on them.
"Ah... Fuck! Is this Shadow really from Great Xia?"
"Damn! The highest level in our Cherry Blossom Nation is only level 7. I can't accept this..."
"Fuck! My only hidden class, Smith, is only level 8. What's going on with Shadow?"
"Out of 1.5 billion people in Indra Land, is there really no one who can catch up with Shadow?"
"I heard this guy from Great Xia has been soloing all along, so he levels up fast!"
"Impossible! The monsters in this game are so hard to beat. How can anyone solo them and level up so quickly?"
Countless people around the world were shocked.
Many wanted to know who exactly this 'Shadow' was.
Even the Great Xia officials were secretly investigating.
But for now, no one knew Shadow's real identity!
...
Glowfire Town.
After Qin Feng reached level 10, he glanced at his attribute panel.
——
[Codename: Shadow]
[Class: Shadow (Unique Hidden)]
[Level: 10]
[Non-tradable Lifespan: 1219 years 128 days]
[Tradable Lifespan: 7455 days]
[Strength: 39]
[Constitution: 39]
[Agility: 111]
[Mental: 41]
[Reputation: 47]
——
"Only a little over seven thousand days of tradable lifespan, that's not nearly enough..."
Qin Feng sighed and then logged off from where he stood.
After reaching level 10, the experience required for leveling up was more than ten times what it was before. Relying solely on killing small monsters to level up was painfully slow.
Moreover, after level 10, experience points were needed for 'Class Promotion.'
Class Promotion not only increased the four main attributes but also unlocked more class-specific skills.
This was especially important for hidden classes.
The strength of hidden classes lay in the exclusive skills obtained after Class Promotion!
"Next, I either need to find a BOSS to kill or wait for six more people to reach level 10 and leave the starting town."
"Before that, I should return to reality to take care of something..."
Qin Feng closed his eyes.
His blurry figure in the coastal area of Glowfire Town gradually faded away...
Great Xia, Jianghai City.
In an ordinary residential area, Shanshui Impression Building Eleven, on the eleventh floor.
In a simple and neat bedroom, Qin Feng, who had been floating translucently above the bed, began to solidify into a physical form...
When Qin Feng chose to log off, having reached level 10, he received a system prompt.
——
[Do you want to consume tradable lifespan to extract abilities into reality?]
[Yes/No]
——
Qin Feng chose 'Yes.'
A list of extractable abilities appeared before him:
——
[1. Extract Class and Level]
[2. Extract Equipment]
[3. Extract Skills]
[4. Extract Bloodline (Temporarily Unavailable)]
[5. Extract Divinity (Temporarily Unavailable)]
——
First was the extraction of the class.
In this regard, the Abandoned Gods Game treated everyone equally. Whether it was a common class or a hidden class, extracting class abilities into reality required consuming 1000 days of lifespan.
Qin Feng didn't hesitate and directly extracted the unique hidden class 'Shadow' into reality!
——
[You have consumed 1000 days of tradable lifespan]
[You have extracted 'Shadow (Unique Hidden Class)']
[You have obtained 'Shadow (Unique Hidden Class)', class passive is now active!]
[Your Strength +3, Constitution +3, Agility +8, Mental +5!]
——
Next was the level.
Extracting levels mainly brought attribute enhancements in reality, but you couldn't reallocate free attribute points.
The way they were allocated in the game would be fixed when extracted into reality.
"Before level 10, the cost of extracting levels is fixed at 1000 days of lifespan per level."
"Then... extract level 2 into reality!"
——
[You have consumed 1000x2 days of tradable lifespan]
[You have extracted level x2]
[Your level in reality has increased to level 3!]
[Your Strength +4, Constitution +4, Agility +14, Mental +4!]
——
This left him with 4455 days of lifespan.
Next was the most exciting part for Qin Feng... skill extraction!
"My talent allows me to evolve skills."
"Originally, the higher the skill tier, the more lifespan it would cost to extract, sometimes even exponentially more."
"I didn't expect that the lifespan cost for extracting skills is based on the skill's initial tier!"
For example, 'Subshadow.'
This skill had been evolved by Qin Feng to the Platinum level, and according to the algorithm, extracting it would require tens of thousands of days of lifespan.
But now, it only required the basic 900 days!
Moreover...
The extracted skill would be synchronized with the Platinum level in the game!
Later on, as the skill advanced in the game, the real-world skill would also advance in sync, without needing additional lifespan for extraction.
"Nice."
Qin Feng quickly selected two skills to extract!
——
[You have consumed 900 days of tradable lifespan, extracting the skill 'Subshadow (Platinum Level)'!]
[You have consumed 2262 days of tradable lifespan, extracting the skill 'Venomous Dart (Silver Level)'!]
——
After extracting these two skills, Qin Feng was left with only 1292 days of lifespan.
A considerable amount of lifespan was consumed.
But the benefits were tremendous!
Originally, Qin Feng was just an ordinary person in reality, but now, his four main attributes were nearly double that of an average person.
Especially his speed, which had surpassed human limits!
In reality, Qin Feng now had 32 agility points, allowing him to sprint 100 meters in just over 5 seconds!
"Unfortunately, the tradable lifespan isn't enough..."
"But it doesn't matter."
"With these attributes now, it's enough to kill Song Fei."
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.
Having survived nine years of the apocalypse, Qin Feng was no stranger to killing.
He wouldn't give Song Fei any chance to rise.
"Extracting a Platinum-level Subshadow at the cost of an inferior skill... what a bargain."
"With the class passive, the stealth time is doubled, allowing for infinite stealth!"
"Combined with the Venomous Dart, which can be released from up to 14 meters away, I can easily find an opportunity to take out Song Fei!"
The problem now was finding out where Song Fei was.
If it were the trajectory of the previous life, Qin Feng might not have found him so easily...
But now, Song Fei was actively buying lifespan.
And to trade lifespan, it had to be done face-to-face.
In other words, Song Fei's location in reality was essentially exposed to the public!
Qin Feng had a plan for this...
Jianghai City, afternoon.
Qin Feng gradually opened his eyes in the bedroom.
Once he finished extracting, his body became fully solid.
He clenched his fist, moved around a bit to get used to his attributes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Let's go."
Just as he was about to take action, his phone suddenly rang.
