Qin Xiaoyou: Anyone already at level 3 is definitely a top player!

In the dorm room, four girls were animatedly discussing the Godforsaken Game.

Chu Yan, the short-haired girl who was also Qin Xiaoyou's best friend, packed her things as she said, "Apparently, people in the same area will appear in the same Newbie Town as long as they fall asleep at the same time. I need to go home and help my parents... They've never played games before. I'm worried they won't adjust."

One girl said helplessly, "Don't drag yourself down with them. We could build ourselves up first, then help our parents later."

Another girl, wearing glasses, nodded like a chicken pecking at grain. "Exactly, exactly. We can't even guarantee our own progress yet..."

Qin Xiaoyou glanced at her phone.

In truth, she was waiting for an apology from Qin Feng.

But...

Even now, Qin Feng hadn't sent a single message.

That made Qin Xiaoyou increasingly angry.

Something this huge has happened, and he still won't come apologize? Who does he think he is?

But apologizing to Qin Feng first was even more out of the question.

Most importantly...

Qin Xiaoyou felt she had done absolutely nothing wrong by skipping her exam to attend Song Fei's concert.

To her, a chance to attend Song Fei's concert was so rare. How could a mere exam possibly compare?

If I miss an exam, I can take a makeup exam or retake the course.

If I miss a concert, I'll have lost a chance to get close to my beloved Fei forever.

Luckily, Chu Yan went with me this time. It was the closest I've ever been to him...

Just thinking about Song Fei filled Qin Xiaoyou with sweetness.

Song Fei's opening words at the concert-"I missed you all"-still had Qin Xiaoyou savoring the memory...

I wonder when my beloved Song Fei will enter the Godforsaken Game?

With his abilities, he'll definitely work hard. He'll surely be strong in the game, too!

It was funny, really.

These days, the man Qin Xiaoyou thought of affectionately as her "big brother" was almost always Song Fei, not Qin Feng...

In his previous life, Qin Feng hadn't known that.

Because the Godforsaken Game had appeared, Qin Feng had personally gone to her school to find Qin Xiaoyou, apologizing and pleading until she finally agreed to enter the game with him.

But in this life...

She could do whatever the hell she wanted!

Still, Qin Feng's choice would change how things unfolded this time.

In his previous life, Qin Feng had been at work and hadn't come to find Qin Xiaoyou immediately after hearing the news, but he had kept sending apologies to placate her...

This time, Qin Feng hadn't bothered with her at all!

Apologize?

Yeah, right!

So...

Under these circumstances, Qin Xiaoyou might well enter the Godforsaken Game earlier.

But what did that have to do with Qin Feng?

Suddenly, Chu Yan glanced at her phone and exclaimed in delight, "Girls, look! Zhang Wei actually reached level 3 and came out of the Godforsaken Game!"

Qin Xiaoyou was surprised. "He's that good? Anyone already at level 3 is definitely a top player!"

With that, she picked up her phone and tagged Zhang Wei in their WeChat group...

Zhang Wei was the boy who had fallen asleep at his desk during class.

The moment he appeared in the WeChat group, the entire class started showering him with praise.

Xiao You: "@Zhang Wei, you're amazing! Got any tips or guides for us?"

All that praise from his classmates went straight to Zhang Wei's head.

Qin Xiaoyou's message especially delighted Zhang Wei. Isn't this the perfect chance to pick up a girl?

Normally, Qin Xiaoyou was pretty stuck-up!

Zhang Wei wasn't one of Qin Xiaoyou's simps.

But if a girl came knocking, why turn her down?

So Zhang Wei immediately began messaging Qin Xiaoyou privately, bragging up a storm...

"Don't worry, Xiao You. Once someone in town reaches level 5, they can activate the town's teleportation array."

"Then we'll be able to teleport between starting towns."

"Just find a town and join any party to level up. When the time comes, I'll come find you and carry you!"

"I'll also let you in on a secret... When you enter the game, put all your initial stat points into agility. Otherwise, you won't be fast enough, and the monsters will wreck you."

Qin Xiaoyou was a little puzzled by Zhang Wei's messages.

She asked, "Even if I'm playing a magic class, should I still put points into agility?"

Zhang Wei answered solemnly, "Yes. Agility isn't useless for magic classes either. It increases casting speed, which is especially important early on."

Qin Xiaoyou: "Got it."

Looking at Qin Xiaoyou's cute WeChat avatar, Zhang Wei felt rather full of himself. He was already fantasizing about winning her over...

Little did he know, Qin Xiaoyou only had eyes for her "beloved Song Fei."

She had no interest in anyone else. To her, they were nothing more than tools to help her level up.

Thinking of Qin Feng, Qin Xiaoyou sneered inwardly:

You still won't come apologize? I've really let you get too full of yourself...

Fine, then. I'll go in and level up first. Once someone in Zhang Wei's town reaches level 5, he can teleport over and carry me.

Qin Feng, by the time you enter the game, who knows how many levels we'll have gained!

She felt certain that with a top player carrying her, she would level up very quickly!

Little did she know...

Qin Feng had already reached level 5!

If Zhang Wei counted as a top player, then what did that make Qin Feng?

The teleportation arrays in the starting towns worked both ways.

So activating the Teleportation Array in just one town was useless. Someone in another town also had to reach level 5.

That was why Qin Feng wasn't in a hurry to return and activate the teleportation array.

Besides, Qin Feng intended to grind straight to level 10 and head to a main city. That was where the Godforsaken Game truly began!

Still, teleporting between towns is free...

Let me think. Which town was Song Fei in?

As Qin Feng effortlessly farmed monsters in the dim forest, he narrowed his eyes in thought.

Shortly after the game began in his previous life, Qin Xiaoyou had wanted to find Song Fei, but Qin Feng had kept her in check and stopped her...

Thanks to Qin Xiaoyou, he had learned which starting town Song Fei was in through one of Song Fei's fan groups.

I think it was called... Firefly Town?

Good. I'll go level up in Firefly Town later and kill Song Fei every time I see him.

Killing intent filled Qin Feng's eyes.

Hunting him down in the game was merely the prelude. The goal was to frighten him into logging out!

The real hunt... would follow!

Qin Feng checked Shell Town's level rankings.

He was now the only one at level 6.

Everyone else was still at level 3.

It would take a while longer for players in other towns to reach level 5 and unlock teleportation between towns.

Keep farming monsters.

Instant Shadow Slash!

-754!

-754!

-754!

Demons that other players considered fierce and terrifying died instantly at Qin Feng's hands, turning into experience and dropping lifespan and loot!

Meanwhile, back in the real world, in River-Sea City on Blue Star...

After returning to reality, Wang Meng quickly drove to the bureau to report to his superiors.

"What? You're saying someone in your Shell Town has already reached level 5? And he did it solo?"

"His codename is 'Dark Shadow'?"

"He's already level 5? Wouldn't that make him number one in the world?!"

Inside the bureau, more than a dozen high-ranking officials wore stunned expressions after hearing Wang Meng's report!
