River-Sea City, Great River Plaza.
Song Fei's female fans and the people who had come to sell their lifespan all descended into panic and chaos.
Some took photos with their phones.
Some screamed in terror.
Some scattered and ran.
In the crowd, Qin Xiaoyou and Chu Yan were utterly stunned by what they saw!
Qin Xiaoyou had come to sell her lifespan to Song Fei. She had never expected to witness him suddenly being killed!
At that moment, Qin Xiaoyou's worldview came crashing down!
"Xiao You, come on! We have to go!"
Chu Yan reacted quickly, hurriedly pulling Qin Xiaoyou away amid the chaos...
All of Great River Plaza was in turmoil. Footage of the scene spread rapidly through people's livestreams and recordings...
A few minutes later.
Police officers arrived at once.
Some cordoned off the scene.
Some went to check the surveillance footage.
Others began analyzing the dark green throwing dart left at the scene!
"This dart's material and origin are unknown. It's very strange!"
"Rather than something from our world, it looks more like an item from the Godforsaken Game..."
"The style certainly fits, but how could something from the Godforsaken Game appear in reality?"
"The surveillance team found nothing. The attack came from a blind spot, so they couldn't see who did it."
"Have you questioned the people at the scene?"
"Yes. Some were nearby, but they all said they didn't see anyone!"
"Look at the replay. Lifespan orbs appeared over Song Fei's body, then suddenly vanished... Could someone invisible have been standing beside him and absorbed them?"
"How could a person turn invisible?"
"Wait, assassins in the Godforsaken Game can turn invisible!"
The police officers of River-Sea City were completely baffled.
Yet after investigating, they reached the most likely conclusion: the person who had attacked Song Fei and Jiang Li had very probably been invisible!
"Could abilities from the Godforsaken Game actually be used in reality?"
"You're kidding. I can turn invisible in the game too. Why can't I do it in reality?"
"Are there conditions we have to meet?"
There were simply too many eyewitnesses.
Even if the River-Sea City authorities wanted to conceal the news, they couldn't, especially with chaos already erupting across the globe.
News of Song Fei's death spread rapidly.
After watching some of the videos, authorities in countries around the world immediately arrived at the same suspicion...
Abilities from the Godforsaken Game could very likely be used in reality!
Qin Feng didn't care.
After all, other people would reach level 10 that evening, before long.
Then this secret would no longer be a secret.
While word of Song Fei's death spread like wildfire, the River-Sea City authorities braced for a major threat, and countless citizens trembled in fear.
Qin Feng had already returned to the Shanshui Impression Residential Complex!
He changed into an ordinary pair of sweatpants and a short-sleeved shirt, took his phone, and went to a noodle shop across from the complex, where he ordered a bowl of noodles.
While players are in the Godforsaken Game, their bodies in reality are invulnerable, but they still burn energy.
When you're hungry, you still have to eat...
This was something Qin Feng found troublesome.
For that very reason, players couldn't stay in the game forever. No matter what, they had to return to reality to replenish their energy and fluids with food and drink. Otherwise, they would starve to death, however much lifespan they had.
While eating his noodles, Qin Feng overheard other customers chatting.
About the Godforsaken Game, about Song Fei's death...
They had no idea that the person who had killed Song Fei was right before their eyes!
After this meal, I'll head back and keep hunting bosses to farm lifespan.
In the Godforsaken Game... level 10 is only the beginning!
Meanwhile.
In a moving taxi, Qin Xiaoyou and Chu Yan were both dazed and distracted.
The sight of blood suddenly spurting from Song Fei's forehead kept replaying in their minds.
They could hardly fathom that they had attended Song Fei's concert just yesterday, only to witness his death today...
Chu Yan scrolled rapidly through her phone, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"A throwing dart?"
"Invisibility?"
"Why does this sound so much like abilities from the Godforsaken Game...?"
"Xiao You... do you think Dark Shadow might have killed Song Fei?"
Qin Xiaoyou didn't answer.
Song Fei's death had drained all the color from her world...
By the time they reached school and she stepped out of the taxi, her face had become expressionless.
Song Fei is dead...
In this world, strength is everything.
Dark Shadow.
I have to approach him, get close to him...
No one can stop me!
"Zhang Wei, take me to the Qian Group. I'll sell two hundred days of lifespan first."
"I'm going to buy another place and move out, so Qin Feng won't hold me back."
"Also, Zhang Wei, don't you have an assassin skill book? Give it to me. I'm going to give it to Dark Shadow."
Song Fei was dead.
Now Qin Xiaoyou no longer had to agonize over whom to choose.
But the real question was...
Was this even a matter of whom she chose?
About half an hour later.
Qin Feng finished his meal, went home, and took a shower.
He was about to lie down and enter the Godforsaken Game again.
But messages kept popping up on his phone...
Qin Feng glanced at them. They were from a female coworker named Yang Xiaoya.
Xiaoyayayaya: "Qin Feng, Qin Feng! Fatty Hu is furious. He says you blocked his number and his WeChat... If you don't come in, you'll be fired, and you won't get this month's pay either!"
She was a nice girl, but timid and meek, and people often bullied her.
In his previous life, she had also been a member of Qin Feng's Godslayer Guild.
Qin Feng thought for a moment, then replied, "Ignore him. You should stop going to work too. Get into the Godforsaken Game and start building yourself up."
Yang Xiaoya was a little surprised by Qin Feng's reply, then timidly typed back, "Oh. Qin Feng, have you been inside this Godforsaken Game? I heard it's really hard. Lots of people have almost run out of lifespan..."
Qin Feng replied, "Whatever your class is, just put your starting points into agility."
Xiaoyayayaya: "Okay ＞.＜"
Xiaoyayayaya: "I heard the lifespan earned in the game is worth a lot now. How are you doing, Qin Feng? How much have you made?"
Qin Feng casually replied, "Not much. I've almost spent it all already."
Xiaoyayayaya: "Wow, did you buy a car and a house? No wonder you blocked Fatty Hu, hehe~"
She thought Qin Feng had made money and spent it all.
The truth was that Qin Feng couldn't be bothered to exchange lifespan for money. Instead, he had spent lifespan directly to extract abilities into reality!
There was also something Yang Xiaoya didn't know.
Hu Qibin wasn't furious because Qin Feng had stopped coming to work.
It was because...
Qin Feng had refused the company heiress's "indecent proposition"!
