In this part of the story, Qin Feng's dominance in the game is clearly established as he effortlessly defeats a group of players led by Tie Nan. His high-level skills, superior equipment, and fast reflexes allow him to dispatch over 20 opponents in a matter of moments. As a result, he gains a "killer" status, which marks him as a player who has killed too many, but thanks to his special item, the Ghost Fire Bell, he is unaffected by the negative consequences of this status.
Upon returning to Shell Town, Qin Feng is greeted with admiration and envy from the other players, who are in awe of his abilities and the powerful gold-level armor he wears. Amidst the attention, a group led by Xianyun, who had previously attempted to steal loot from Qin Feng, approaches him with an apology. They offer him an assassin skill book as a gesture of goodwill, and Qin Feng, ever pragmatic, accepts the gift.
However, Xianyun, who is revealed to be a rich and influential figure in the real world, secretly plots to track down Qin Feng in reality, intending to capture him and force him to serve his purposes. He believes that Qin Feng's mysterious voice and lack of connection to the elite gaming circles make him a prime target for manipulation.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng meets Lin Liyu, who has been waiting for him. She is initially anxious, but upon receiving the gold-level mage items from Qin Feng—a fire-type skill book and a magic necklace—her worries are replaced by excitement and gratitude. These items are highly valuable, and her reaction underscores the significance of Qin Feng's generosity.
In summary, this part of the story highlights Qin Feng's prowess and the power dynamics within the game. It also introduces more complex character motivations, with Xianyun plotting behind the scenes and Lin Liyu receiving much-needed help from Qin Feng.
