Assassination in broad daylight!

Qin Feng frowned.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it. The caller was his supervisor at the company where he had worked.

"Hu Qibin?"

He remembered how, in his previous life, Qin Feng had been late for work that day and gotten a vicious tongue-lashing from that fat man.

Now...

Qin Feng naturally couldn't be bothered with him!

He hung up and tossed the phone onto the bed. Just as he was about to leave, it rang again.

It was his "supervisor," Hu Qibin, again.

Qin Feng went over, hung up, and blocked him in one smooth motion.

But immediately afterward...

Hu Qibin sent him a message on WeChat:

"Qin Feng, do you have a death wish? The young lady wants to see you. She says she's giving you one last chance! If you still won't do as you're told, you'd better think carefully about the consequences..."

Without even finishing the message, Qin Feng deleted and blocked his WeChat account.

The whole world fell quiet.

"Time to go."

Target: Song Fei!

Location: Great River Plaza!

Through Weibo, Qin Feng had already learned that Song Fei was at Great River Plaza in River-Sea City, buying lifespan in person.

Great River Plaza was only seven or eight kilometers from Qin Feng's residential complex.

At Qin Feng's current speed, he could jog there while invisible in a little over ten minutes.

Qin Feng left his phone in his room.

Then he put on the Gray Mask and changed into a black jacket. His figure instantly turned hazy, then transparent, until he vanished completely!

Anyone else who witnessed this in the real world would have been utterly stunned.

Because...

This was the first time an ability from the Godforsaken Game had appeared in reality!

At this point, the other players had no idea that abilities from the Godforsaken Game could be brought into the real world.

And that meant Song Fei was completely unprepared for Qin Feng's assassination!

Great River Plaza, River-Sea City.

Four in the afternoon.

Song Fei's female fans in River-Sea City had learned the news through Weibo and flocked to Great River Plaza.

Quite a few of them had earned lifespan in the Godforsaken Game.

They gathered excitedly, eager to sell it to Song Fei for a chance to get close to him...

Amid the crowd.

Separated from everyone by more than twenty security guards and temporary barriers, Song Fei sat in the middle of the indoor venue, wearing a white vest and sunglasses with one leg crossed over the other.

Beside him sat a girl with a ponytail.

She wore a pink short-sleeved top, a short black skirt, and black stockings that covered her legs, looking youthful and pretty.

She was none other than Jiang Li, the daughter of Great River Industries' chairman!

Jiang Li had always been a fan of Song Fei, though she wasn't as fanatical as his other female fans.

When she learned that Song Fei wanted to buy lifespan, she contacted him herself and offered Great River Plaza as the venue.

For one thing, she could get close to Song Fei and help him buy lifespan.

For another, once Song Fei ran out of money, she could buy some lifespan herself.

Using Song Fei's fame, she could attract more people to come "sell their lives"!

At the moment, Jiang Li was sitting close to Song Fei, chatting and laughing with him.

The young heiress asked with a smile, "Song Fei, how much lifespan have you bought?"

Song Fei checked his stats. "Miss Jiang, I've bought over two thousand days and spent twenty million."

Jiang Li pursed her lips. "And so many fans are giving you lifespan for free. I'm so jealous~"

Song Fei waved a hand and smiled. "It's nothing compared to Great River Industries and all your wealth. I'm just dabbling here..."

Jiang Li waved modestly. "Not at all... Anyway, I heard Dark Shadow killed you three times in the Godforsaken Game? Don't worry. I've got people investigating his real identity."

Song Fei frowned. "That'll be difficult. All we know right now is that he's male and in River-Sea City. We know nothing else."

Jiang Li smiled. "Everyone has a weakness. Money? Beautiful women? I've already sent people to Firefly Town to contact him and name a price. He won't turn us down. And once he agrees... he'll have to come collect the money, won't he? Once he shows himself to collect it, he won't have a choice anymore!"

Song Fei smiled. "That's certainly one way. I heard Great River Industries has already used that method to get several players under your control and make them work for you for free?"

Jiang Li covered her mouth and chuckled. "They're all idiots, terrible players who barely earn any lifespan. If we can catch Dark Shadow, our efficiency should improve quite a bit."

Song Fei nodded. "Make sure you let me know when that happens."

Jiang Li giggled. "Don't worry. Once we catch him, we'll definitely invite Brother Song Fei over to beat him senseless and vent your anger..."

Suddenly!

Jiang Li's smile froze.

Because she saw a bloody hole suddenly appear in Song Fei's forehead right before her...

A strange, dark green dart had shot out from somewhere unknown and silently pierced Song Fei's forehead!

Thud.

Song Fei collapsed, blood from his forehead pooling across the floor. Just like in the Godforsaken Game, a grayish-white lifespan orb formed above his corpse!

"Aah!"

Jiang Li screamed and scrambled backward.

Everyone around them fell silent for a moment, then a wave of screams erupted, throwing the entire venue into chaos!

"Protect the young lady!"

The security guards from Great River Industries reacted immediately and rushed toward Jiang Li.

The security captain glanced at Song Fei.

He lay sprawled on the floor, his sunglasses fallen off, his eyes wide with disbelief as blood gushed from the hole in his forehead...

Suddenly, the lifespan orb above his corpse vanished!

Someone had clearly absorbed it, yet there wasn't a single person beside the body!

The security guards sucked in sharp breaths.

"Is this fucking invisibility?"

"Move, move, move!"

"Get the young lady out of here!"

"Did anyone see anyone suspicious?"

"No? Then check the surveillance footage already!"

The scene descended into utter chaos.

Protected by more than twenty security guards, Jiang Li hurried out through a nearby fire exit and soon reached the outside of Great River Plaza...

Just as she was about to get into a black sedan.

A dart suddenly flew down from behind her and pierced the back of her head.

Precise and deadly!

Thud.

The daughter of Great River Industries' chairman collapsed right outside her family's property!

"I didn't expect a two-for-one deal."

Still invisible, Qin Feng was somewhat surprised.

He had heard Jiang Li and Song Fei's conversation.

Since Jiang Li was already scheming against him, how could he possibly let her go?

"She was no decent person anyway. Might as well deal with her too."

"Too bad. She dropped a few hundred days of lifespan too, but the guards are all around her body. I can't get it..."

Dying in reality also caused a person to drop half their tradable lifespan.

Taking advantage of his invisibility and the chaos, Qin Feng had only absorbed the 1,046 days of tradable lifespan Song Fei dropped.

That man never could have imagined that the lifespan he had just paid for would end up benefiting Qin Feng!

"If only I had Blooming Curse. I could drain the other half too..."

Qin Feng shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.

Bringing the Jadeite Tier skill Blooming Curse into reality cost over ten thousand days of lifespan. He genuinely couldn't afford it yet, so he had no choice but to leave it at that.

With everything done, Qin Feng slipped away without a sound, leaving the chaos behind!

And news of this assassination in broad daylight...

Spread across the entire country, and even the world, in an instant!
