"Everyone must die, but some people need a little help..."
"Customer, if I kill you, you can revive quickly without having to pass through the Abyss of the Wrongfully Dead again. Aren't you grateful to this old man?"
"Since this old man has helped you so much, it's only reasonable to collect a little interest, right? Hahahahaha!"
Old Ge Angke laughed behind his white mask.
But his smile soon froze.
He realized that Qin Feng's corpse hadn't dropped even a single second of lifespan!
There was nothing at all!
"???"
"What's going on here?"
--
[You have been killed by 'Mask Merchant · Ge Angke'!] [Ghostfire Bell has taken effect. You lost 0 lifespan.] [Please select a revival location: Evil Spirit Academy/Soul-Cleansing Grounds]
--
Qin Feng calmly chose to revive at the Soul-Cleansing Grounds.
He had known this NPC's trick all along, but he had simply played along to return to the city quickly!
If he returned the way he had come, he would have to fly upward, so he would definitely consume far more Non-Tradable Lifespan than on the way down.
He would very likely use up three or four hundred years of Non-Tradable Lifespan.
And that was with his lifespan consumption reduced by 90%.
It was easy to imagine...
Mask Merchant · Ge Angke hadn't been wrong. He really could help players return to the city quickly and spare them much of the loss involved in passing through the Abyss of the Wrongfully Dead.
That was also why Qin Feng hadn't refused his "complimentary service."
After all, as far as Qin Feng was concerned...
He had the Ghostfire Bell!
Dying once cost him nothing!
He had saved three or four hundred years of Non-Tradable Lifespan outright!
Of course, it might not have been so wonderful
