Wang Meng: "Boss, if you say she's good, she must be pretty capable. Since you're asking, of course it's no problem!"
Qin Feng hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
He sent a private message: "All right, she's in Firefly Town. There aren't many people farming monsters here. Want to come over?"
Wang Meng immediately replied again: "No problem! There are way too many players here in Shell Town. We were just thinking about leveling somewhere else. Hang on, we'll be right over!"
Hearing that, Qin Feng gestured to Gu Yixue, and the two moved aside to wait...
Shell Town.
When Wang Meng received Qin Feng's private message, his slightly furrowed brow finally relaxed.
In fact, even without Qin Feng's message, Wang Meng had been planning to replace someone.
Because...
Qin Xiaoyou was just too bad at the game!
As a Priest-class player, all she should have needed to do was apply buffs and keep the team's health topped up.
But Qin Xiaoyou always fumbled when it came to healing.
In the Godforsaken Game, no skill had a "lock-on" feature, including healing skills!
Sometimes, when Wang Meng moved to dodge a Demon's attack, Qin Xiaoyou would even miss her healing skill, putting the entire team in danger...
Wang Meng couldn't put up with that anymore either.
He had been about to change maps and replace her when Qin Feng contacted him.
After all, Wang Meng had received instructions from the government leadership to agree to every request from Dark Shadow that he could, doing everything possible to build a good relationship with him!
Wasn't this the perfect chance to do him a favor?
"Xiao You, Shell Town is too crowded right now."
Wang Meng chose his words carefully. "We're going somewhere else to level. You came here from another town, so you've already used up your free teleport, right?"
Qin Xiaoyou froze for a moment. "Huh? Yes..."
She secretly rejoiced, thinking Wang Meng was going to cover the hundred days of lifespan she needed for a second teleport.
Instead, Wang Meng said, "Here's the thing. We have a colleague in the town we're heading to, which gives us a full team of six. So..."
His words left Qin Xiaoyou a little stunned.
"Oh, okay. I understand."
Qin Xiaoyou felt upset. He was asking her to leave.
She thought it was a shame.
Since entering the game, she had joined plenty of teams, but none had been as strong as Wang Meng's!
On Wang Meng's team, all she had to do was coast along, and she could earn experience and lifespan...
Wang Meng finished politely, "Anyway, you have me on your friends list. If anything comes up, just contact me."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Wang."
Qin Xiaoyou sighed with relief.
With that promise from Wang Meng, her mind began racing again...
All she wanted now was to use her connection with Wang Meng to meet Dark Shadow!
Little did she know, Wang Meng had only been saying that to be polite.
He had no ties to Qin Xiaoyou. Once they parted ways, why would he concern himself with her?
He might help if it took no effort, but if it required any time at all, when would Wang Meng have the chance?
In fact, enduring his frustration and carrying Qin Xiaoyou through so much farming already showed how good-tempered Wang Meng was...
After asking Qin Xiaoyou to leave, Wang Meng privately messaged Qin Feng to confirm the town and location.
He teleported over with his three remaining teammates!
Firefly Town.
Qin Feng and Gu Yixue soon met Wang Meng and his three teammates.
Besides Lin Liyu, there was a young Keen-Eyed Archer and a middle-aged man with the hidden class Card Master.
The hidden class Card Master was a magic damage dealer, but it couldn't wield a staff or learn conventional magic skills, making it fairly unusual.
As soon as Wang Meng saw Qin Feng, he initiated a trade.
He gave Qin Feng 800 days of lifespan.
Wang Meng said with a wry smile, "We still owe you 500 days. Our Captain An will give that to you when she gets here. Lifespan really is hard to earn in this game..."
Captain An?
Qin Feng was a little puzzled, but didn't dwell on it.
He nodded and accepted the 800 days of lifespan, then brought Gu Yixue over to his side. "She's Snowy Day. He's Wang Meng. You can introduce yourselves."
Just then, a beautiful woman came running out of the underground teleportation chamber beneath the square.
She wore silvery-white light armor, a longsword hung at her waist, and her long hair flowed behind her!
She looked excited and eager. It was none other than An Yu, the pretty policewoman who had seemed a little ditzy during the earlier meeting with Wang Meng!
She and Wang Meng were jointly responsible for liaising with Dark Shadow.
The moment she spotted Qin Feng, her eyes lit up, and she hurried over.
Qin Feng took one look and was rather surprised.
It really is An Yu?
The unique hidden class, Dragon Swordsman. One of the world's top twenty powerhouses in my previous life, and one of the pillars of the Great Xia Officials!
But I remember she wasn't on the same team as Wang Meng in my previous life.
Qin Feng had only paused for a moment before her swift, agile figure arrived in front of him.
"Dark Shadow! Wow, it's really you... It's such a pleasure to meet you! I'm An Yu, and I Worship you!"
An Yu held out her hand, her face full of Worship.
"..."
Qin Feng couldn't help feeling a little wistful.
This was his first encounter with a Godforsaken Game powerhouse who had ranked above him in his previous life!
He recalled how Dragon Swordsman An Yu, whose Godforsaken Game alias had been Justice Execution, had been a nightmare for many hostile foreign forces in his previous life!
Even Qin Feng hadn't been her match in a duel.
After all, Qin Feng had only had an ordinary Warrior class in his previous life, while An Yu's class was the unique hidden Dragon Swordsman!
It was on the same tier as Qin Feng's current Dark Shadow class!
Seeing An Yu look at him with such Worship now, Qin Feng felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Still...
Considering that An Yu was currently just a level 5 small fry, Qin Feng accepted it.
In this life... Qin Feng's progression was far ahead of everyone else's!
Not only did he have a unique hidden class, he also possessed an unheard-of Primordial talent. Even someone of An Yu's caliber had been left far behind.
"Hello."
Keeping his expression composed, Qin Feng reached out and shook her hand.
"Dark Shadow, you're progressing ridiculously fast."
An Yu pressed her lips together in a soft laugh, her pretty face and eyes full of admiration. "I was even wondering earlier if you might be a transmigrator or someone who'd been reborn. Hehe..."
Behind his black veil, Qin Feng wore the faintest hint of a smile.
Transmigrator?
Someone reborn?
An Yu certainly had a vivid imagination, but this beauty would never guess that Qin Feng was both!
Then An Yu held her hand out toward Qin Feng again. "Let's trade, boss. Wang Meng still owes you five hundred days of lifespan. I have it here."
Qin Feng nodded.
Clearly, An Yu had already purchased quite a bit of tradable lifespan on behalf of River-Sea City's government!
Her hidden Dragon Swordsman class had excellent survivability.
The government would certainly feel safe leaving the lifespan with her.
"All right."
Qin Feng nodded.
He soon received 500 days of lifespan from An Yu.
An Yu looked at Qin Feng and blinked. "If you have any equipment, feel free to sell it to us from now on. We'll take anything. Also... all the lifespan belonging to River-Sea City's government is on me. You won't kill me, right?"
This girl seemed a little ditzy, but she was actually very clever.
Those words were clearly a test for Qin Feng.
If Qin Feng truly couldn't resist and killed her, it would naturally affect how the government treated him afterward!
