Sister Li's code name was 'Yali'.
She and the four members of her team were searching everywhere in the town, not planning to miss any corner.
Unfortunately, they hadn't found anything all along.
Just then...
The system prompt that Qin Feng had leveled up to level 2 and opened the town level ranking list came, leaving the five people in Yali's team looking astonished.
"What's going on? Sister Li, this 'Shadow' is the guy who went out alone just now, right?"
"Seems so... How could he reach level 2 so quickly?"
"The most important thing is that he killed a Bronze-level mini-BOSS, right?"
"Our team couldn't even kill an ordinary small monster, and he can kill a Bronze BOSS alone. Are you kidding me?"
"But the system prompt can't be wrong..."
"Did he team up after going out?"
"No, look at the ranking list. There's only his name on the level ranking list!"
On the level ranking list of Shell Town, currently, there was only the name 'Shadow', standing alone on it.
This made the five people in Yali's team find it hard to believe.
"Ah, this..."
Sister Li, holding the longbow in her hand, was stunned on the spot.
She had experienced how powerful the monsters outside were in this strange game.
The five of them went out as a team, but were brutally killed by a level 1 ordinary small monster! They couldn't even reduce that small monster's health by half!
But now...
That 'Shadow', who she thought was going out to seek death, had actually killed a Bronze-level BOSS alone?
"This is just unbelievable!"
Sister Li began to doubt her life a little.
...
Niu Gang and Guan Xiaoya had just been resurrected in the middle of the town.
The system prompted them that half of their lifespan had been deducted.
They originally had forty or fifty years left, but now only had a little over twenty years left.
This made their expressions a bit ugly.
Guan Xiaoya's face was a bit pale: "Niu Gang, do you think this lifespan deduction is real?"
Niu Gang shook his head vigorously: "Impossible. How could there be such mysterious things in this world?"
Guan Xiaoya had a complicated look: "But we just fell asleep, and then how did we come to this place together? Obviously, this isn't a dream. If it's a game... Then this game is too realistic."
Niu Gang was also a bit uncertain now.
Just then.
The prompt about Qin Feng killing the 'Nurturer' and leveling up to level 2 rang in the minds of this couple!
This startled them.
"What's going on? That two-and-a-half-meter-tall big spider was actually killed by someone?"
"Who is this 'Shadow'? How could he kill that big spider?"
"Impossible. There were over ten small spiders under that big spider..."
Both Niu Gang and Guan Xiaoya began to doubt their lives.
In front of that big spider, they were completely unable to fight back.
But that 'Shadow' had actually killed it directly!
And seeing that there was only a lonely 'Shadow' on the ranking list, the two of them had to guess that 'Shadow' probably killed the Nurturer alone!
This made them feel like they had seen a ghost!
...
More and more players who had come to the Land Abandoned by the Gods because they fell asleep were arriving.
The number of players in Shell Town quickly reached five hundred.
The town square was already filled with new players in black robes everywhere.
Some new players were asking anyone they caught what was going on.
Unfortunately, no one could answer this question.
Most people were rather confused.
But there were also some players who realized that things were not simple.
A young man with blond hair was waving his hand and shouting in the square:
"Everyone, we all came to this so-called 'Land Abandoned by the Gods' just because we fell asleep."
"Now we can't leave the game yet. According to the prompts, we can obtain lifespan by killing monsters, and our lifespan will be halved if we die."
"Whether it's true or not, to be on the safe side, let's not go out alone."
"There have already been quite a number of players killed by the monsters outside and lost their lifespan..."
"I suggest that we form teams and go out to explore together. It'll be safer that way."
"Those brothers and sisters who want to go out with me now, come and sign up with me and register your professions..."
Some people listened to what the blond-haired young man said, while others didn't bother to listen.
In the direction of another exit of the town, there were already three men and three women who had formed a team.
The leader was a burly and tough man, looking valiant and mighty.
His name was Wang Meng.
Wang Meng looked at the central square of the town from a distance and heard the faintly shouting of the blond-haired young man, but he didn't pay attention.
He said to the five people beside him: "In this 'Abandoned by the Gods' game now, we'd better believe it's true rather than assume it's false. Let's first treat it as a normal game and go out to explore. As long as we can kill monsters and level up, it won't be bad for us."
"As for lifespan, everyone just be careful not to die. I'm a Holy Shield Warrior, and I have an invincible skill from the start, which can block damage for you. You just need to do your best to output damage."
Wang Meng's teammates were all hidden professions that he had carefully observed and selected.
Such a combination was definitely strong enough!
Meanwhile.
In Shell Town, there were also some internet-addicted teenagers who usually teamed up to rank up in games.
Now they had all entered the 'Abandoned by the Gods' game together.
"Damn it, the appearance of this game means we can show our skills, right?"
"Let's go! Let's go!"
"Maybe we're not that good at other things, but when it comes to games, hehe, who can beat us five brothers?"
"This 'Abandoned by the Gods' game allows a maximum of six people in a team. We're still one person short."
"Let's find a pretty girl. Aren't we just short of a healer?"
...
It wasn't just Shell Town.
Now there were already tens of thousands of towns, and more and more players were gathering.
All were humans whose consciousnesses were sent to the Land Abandoned by the Gods when they fell asleep at this time point.
Whether it was the Great Xia, North America, or the Western countries...
People were basically confused when they first entered the 'Abandoned by the Gods' game.
Among them, some players had already adopted the attitude of believing it's better to be cautious and started to take it seriously.
Many powerful players had actually already pulled away from others right from the start.
For example...
Qin Feng right now!
"Level 2 opened the ranking list, and I obtained 1 Reputation Point."
Qin Feng took a look at the system prompt and didn't pay much attention to it.
Of course, the more Reputation Points, the better. They could be exchanged with NPCs for high-level items in the later stage.
At this time, Qin Feng, invisible, was standing in front of the corpse of the Bronze-level 'Nurturer', ready to collect the loot.
First was the lifespan!
Qin Feng reached out and absorbed the grayish-white light ball floating above the big spider's corpse.
——
[You have obtained 46 days of lifespan (Tradable).]
——
The lifespan gain from one mini-BOSS was equivalent to that of over ten ordinary small monsters!
Under normal circumstances, this BOSS had to be dealt with by several full teams working together. Even then, when the lifespan was evenly divided among everyone, each person wouldn't get much...
But Qin Feng killed the BOSS alone, so his harvest was naturally quite good.
Immediately after that, Qin Feng took out three pieces of loot from under the BOSS's corpse.
Among them, a skill book caught Qin Feng's eye.
"This is a great find!"
——
[Skill Book · Greedy Hand (Bronze): Assassin-type Skill Book. After learning, it can be used on monster corpses, with a 20% probability of obtaining an extra piece of loot as a reward. Learning Requirement: Level 1]
——
20% probability didn't seem high.
But the key point was...
Qin Feng could evolve this skill!
