(First, let me make this clear: Qin Xiaoyou is doomed. There will be no twist, so read without worrying.)
Everything happened without a sound.
These sixty players from the Yamato Heavenly God guild had just been discussing entering the temple grounds shrouded in black mist to explore and see if they could find any fortuitous encounters...
In the blink of an eye, every last one of them died!
Scarlet Death Flowers bloomed and unfurled over their corpses.
They drained every bit of their Tradable Lifespan!
"Huh, that's quite a bit of lifespan."
A little surprised, Qin Feng smiled faintly.
Although every guild now had "lifespan keepers" responsible for holding lifespan, plenty of players still carried considerable amounts on them.
After all, these were not official organizations, so trust was an issue.
As for recently emerging institutions such as "banks," although they offered very high interest rates... frankly, those rates were high purely because player mortality was high!
Especially in Sakura Country, once a player died, even if their relatives could recover the lifespan deposited in a bank, they could only get part of it back.
The rest was handed over as "inheritance tax."
How could the interest rates not be high?
So players in Sakura Country either stored their lifespan with elderly family members or kept it on themselves.
The proportion who deposited it with guilds or banks was not high.
And so...

After all, they were out leveling, where the mortality rate was not particularly high. Carrying a little extra lifespan was normal; otherwise, they could not withstand the lifespan drain while leveling in a Frenzied Zone.
It was precisely because they carried
