What, you want to arrest me?

Qin Xiaoyou had always been like this.

No matter how well Qin Feng treated her, she took it for granted.

In his previous life, Qin Xiaoyou would fly into a rage and make a huge scene with Qin Feng whenever anything displeased her even slightly.

Qin Feng had taken care of her for nine years.

Equipment, skills, lifespan, food, shelter-he had arranged everything for her, and she thought she deserved every bit of it!

In the end, she had gouged out Qin Feng's eyes with her own hands for Song Fei...

Most outrageous of all, she had looked blissfully happy while doing it...

You can remember someone else's tiny favors for a lifetime.

But no matter how well I treat you, you never appreciate it.

Qin Feng gave a faint, cold smile.

Although Song Fei was already dead, there was no way he would accept Qin Xiaoyou again.

After all...

That was simply who she was.

Without Song Fei, there would still be Lin Fei, Li Fei, or Zhang Fei!

Qin Feng would not let the same person trip him up twice.

The only reason he hadn't dealt with her the same way he had dealt with Song Fei was out of respect for their deceased parents.

If you knew I was Dark Shadow, and that I killed Song Fei...

You could curse me for three days and nights and still not get it out of your system.

Yet you actually offered Dark Shadow a skill book?

Qin Feng shook his head and put her out of his mind.

He had accumulated quite a few more items in his inventory, so he planned to return to town to sell them and post a bounty for boss coordinates while he was there.

He opened his private chat with Wang Meng.

He spoke a sentence, which was converted into text and sent: "Wang Meng, head back to town. I've got things to sell you. Have your lifespan ready."

Wang Meng replied immediately, "You got it!"

The guy was leading his team around outside Firefly Town, looking for monsters to grind levels.

After seeing Qin Feng's private message, he immediately led his team back...

Along the way, Wang Meng suddenly asked, "By the way, boss, you were the one who killed Song Fei, right?"

Anyone else might have weighed their answer to such an unexpected question.

But Qin Feng didn't hesitate at all. He admitted it outright. "Yes."

Wang Meng had him on his friends list and had been online the whole time.

That meant he must have known that Dark Shadow had been offline when Song Fei was killed!

Both the motive and the opportunity were clear.

Since Wang Meng was asking now, he must have already figured out most of it.

Qin Feng could have denied it. The other party had no evidence anyway, but there was no need.

This was a good chance to test the Great Xia Officials' reaction to the incident!

Qin Feng's decisive admission actually caught Wang Meng by surprise.

Only after a long pause did he reply, "All right... We're pretty far from town. It'll take us about ten minutes to get back. Sorry for the trouble, boss, but please wait a little!"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "No problem. I'm even farther away."

To level up faster, he had gone all the way to the coastline, more than twenty kilometers from town.

Even at his speed, running back would take around fifteen minutes.

Along the way, Qin Feng casually killed any Demons he encountered.

He earned over two thousand experience and 5 Evolution Points, along with several poor-quality and common pieces of equipment and skill books. By the time he reached town, every slot in his inventory was full...

Afterward, Qin Feng arranged a meeting place with Wang Meng and the others.

He met them in the basement of the Abandoned Church in Firefly Town.

"The boss is here!"

Wang Meng and the others had been waiting there for two minutes.

When they saw Qin Feng appear with his face veiled and his equipment glowing faintly gold, they all grew a little nervous.

An Yu, the Dragon Swordsman, wore a suit of silver light armor, with a silver longsword hanging at her slender waist.

Dressed in this swordsman's armor, the beautiful policewoman looked even more striking and valiant!

She was the first to hurry up to Qin Feng. Her eyes widened as she looked him up and down. "Boss, you admitted you killed Song Fei?!"

Qin Feng smiled faintly. "What, you want to arrest me?"

An Yu pointed above her head. "Look at my codename."

Her codename in the Godforsaken Game was Justice Execution.

Qin Feng glanced at her codename and asked playfully, "Then who do you think was in the right, me or Song Fei?"

At first, An Yu had looked rather serious.

But at Qin Feng's question, the beautiful policewoman suddenly smiled. "Don't worry. We checked the surveillance footage and audio recordings. We know Song Fei and Jiang Li were plotting against you. Great River Industries also seized quite a few players and made them 'work' for them. That constitutes unlawful detention..."

Hearing this, Qin Feng understood the authorities' current stance.

Clearly, without being able to uncover his real identity, they couldn't catch him even if they wanted to!

They could only keep cooperating with him for now.

As for what would happen later, even Qin Feng wasn't sure.

After all, in his previous life, he hadn't had any "black marks" when he worked with the authorities.

But in this life, he had killed Song Fei and Jiang Li outright, which was bound to introduce some uncertainties...

The authorities couldn't exactly encourage people to go around killing in the real world, could they?

Let's see just how much my rebirth can change this era of the Godforsaken Game.

Qin Feng thought calmly.

Next came the trading.

Qin Feng displayed all the Gold Tier and Platinum Tier equipment in his inventory.

Given Wang Meng and An Yu's ties to the authorities, they wanted equipment and skill books for every class. Selling to them was much easier and faster for Qin Feng.

Most importantly...

The authorities had lifespan to spare!

"Platinum Tier equipment and skill books?!"

When Wang Meng, An Yu, and the others saw what Qin Feng brought out, they were stunned.

They knew Qin Feng was incredibly strong and had scored the first kill of a Gold Tier boss.

But...

No one had even scored a first kill of a Platinum Tier boss yet!

How could he have several Platinum Tier items?!

"Huh? Platinum Tier equipment and skills? Let me see! Is there anything I can use?"

Gu Yixue, the White Bird Priest, leaned her pretty face closer too, looking astonished.

She wore a pure white priest robe that shimmered with a faint silver glow, giving her an air of flawless holiness-a completely different style from An Yu...

Clearly, Wang Meng had led his team to kill a Silver Grade boss during this time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have had so much Silver Grade equipment.

But compared with Qin Feng's stock, the equipment they wore was nothing but garbage!

For a moment, Wang Meng and the others were all dumbfounded.

Platinum Tier equipment and skill books... Where on earth had he gotten them?!
