In fact, Qin Feng's words were certainly not said recklessly.
Upon hearing the girl's description, Qin Feng immediately realized that the golden-level boss was a rare, special boss—the Golden Ghost Ship!
This type of boss can appear at any level range.
If it appeared near the starting town, it would likely be level 5.
Its health and attack are similar to other golden-level bosses, but it has many more skills, making it highly difficult to defeat.
The most important point is that this boss drops a very useful special item!
That special item would be worth more than a thousand years of lifespan in the later stages!
"To encounter a Golden Ghost Ship this early near the starting town—what luck!"
"Moreover, a level 5 Golden Ghost Ship is the easiest to defeat."
"If it were a higher-level Golden Ghost Ship, its skill range and damage would be absurd..."
A few minutes later.
After selling his last two items, Qin Feng left Shell Town with the girl, "Black Plum Big Li Zi."
He counted the total lifespan accumulated from his sales, which amounted to 650 days, bringing his total tradable lifespan to 2174 days.
However...
It still wasn't enough!
In order to extract the level, attributes, profession, equipment, and skills from the Forsaken Game into reality, six or seven years of lifespan would not suffice!
"I'm not far from level 10."
"Before that, I must accumulate as much lifespan as possible."
And this unexpected boss, the Golden Ghost Ship, would be another turning point for Qin Feng.
Once he defeated it and obtained that special item, his development would accelerate!
...
Qin Feng and Black Plum Big Li Zi left the town together.
The beautiful girl's real name was Lin Liyu, and her large, bright eyes held a hint of shock...
She couldn't imagine how Qin Feng could possibly solo a golden-level boss.
"Golden-level bosses must have large area attacks, right?"
"Even if he can turn invisible, he can't be unharmed..."
"With his assassin physique, if the boss hits him, he could easily die..."
Suddenly, Qin Feng retreated to her side.
"You're a bit slow."
Qin Feng said indifferently, "Someone's following us."
The girl's eyes widened. "What? What should we do?"
Having someone follow them was clearly not a good thing. If they were ambushed while fighting the boss, it would be troublesome.
Qin Feng replied, "You just keep going, I'll be right back."
Lin Liyu didn't turn around.
Her graceful figure in a black robe continued walking forward on the scorched earth...
Qin Feng, however, quietly disappeared from sight.
A few seconds later.
Qin Feng moved back to the woods a few dozen meters away and spotted five players who were following him.
Shadow Slash!
His figure flashed through the dark woods.
The blade gleamed!
-817!
-821!
-798!
...
Four damage numbers floated in front of Qin Feng's eyes.
The four followers dropped dead on the spot!
The last one, seeing the others instantly killed, turned pale and tried to flee. However, a poison dart struck his skull with pinpoint accuracy.
-948 (Weak Spot Attack)!
He was instantly killed!
Unfortunately, these five were poor, and the lifespan they dropped totaled barely ten days...
"Just like killing two small monsters."
Qin Feng calmly walked away from the woods...
"We need to speed up."
Qin Feng caught up with Lin Liyu, directly scooping her up and slinging her over his shoulder.
"Huh?"
Lin Liyu was stunned. This position... was it like being kidnapped by a mountain bandit?
But soon, she was shocked by Qin Feng's speed.
Currently, Qin Feng had 72 agility, which allowed him to move at 8.5 meters per second regularly. When running at full speed, he could reach 25 meters per second!
That meant he could cover 100 meters in just 4 seconds.
This already far exceeded the limits of a normal human!
"As soon as I reach level 10, I can use the tradable lifespan to extract these attributes into reality..."
"I want to have these attributes in the real world too!"
Qin Feng thought.
He had to admit, Lin Liyu's figure was superb.
With a slender waist, long legs, and a perfectly curved body, she had no flaws in her S-shaped figure...
Although this was a game, it was the same in reality.
In the Forsaken Game, the players' height, weight, and appearance were indistinguishable from the real world.
This was another reason people quickly believed that the Forsaken Game was an extraordinary game.
This technology was far beyond what the current technology on Blue Planet could achieve!
At this moment.
Though Qin Feng couldn't make Lin Liyu invisible as well, carrying her while running at top speed meant that no one could catch up.
"Though I'm strong now, I don't have a way to counter invisibility, so I can only deal with visible enemies."
"If someone's following me invisibly, I wouldn't be able to notice..."
He could only carry Lin Liyu and move as fast as possible, ensuring that no one could catch up.
Guided by Lin Liyu, Qin Feng moved through the dark woods.
Any small monsters they encountered were instantly killed by a poison dart!
Lin Liyu watched with awe...
Qin Feng's strength was truly overwhelming!
After more than ten minutes, the two finally reached a cliff!
Standing at the edge, looking down, they saw a fog-filled swamp.
In the swamp, there was a ship.
A broken ghost ship with a faint golden glow, its health bar visible even from over a hundred meters away.
The health bar was long, framed with golden borders, marking it as a golden-level boss.
"It's definitely the Golden Ghost Ship!"
Qin Feng's heart raced when he saw the broken ship.
He placed Lin Liyu down on the cliff. "Stay here and be careful not to be ambushed. I'll go handle the boss."
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Liyu's response, Qin Feng found a path and began descending the cliff...
As soon as he stepped into the swamp, the system notification sounded in his mind:
[Due to the influence of the ghost ship, this area has become a berserk zone!]
[Lifespan drain rate in the area: 100x!]
This swamp had a 100x lifespan drain rate.
That meant...
If one stayed in this berserk zone for about fifteen minutes, they would lose a whole day's lifespan!
Of course.
Such temporary berserk zones weren't too impactful.
But after the Forsaken Game's arrival three months ago, the first wave of the Wasteland Spreading would occur, and the entire Blue Planet would turn into berserk zones, even more terrifying disaster zones and nightmare zones!
At that time...
Humanity's true disaster would begin!
For now, Qin Feng only glanced at the system notification before disregarding it.
He had already entered stealth mode and was walking across the swamp.
Even in the swamp, players in stealth didn't leave footprints or any trace...
Qin Feng moved toward the center of the swamp.
Soon, the mist parted like clouds, and a broken ghost ship, nearly five meters long, appeared before him.
On the ghost ship was a skeleton, nearly falling apart, holding an oar.
At the bow of the ship was a bell burning with golden ghost fire...
