When the figure of the seemingly skinny old man, wrapped in a black cloak, appeared, Wang Meng and the others all focused their attention and looked over.
They saw that the figure appeared in the middle of the hall in front of them like a ghost.
His whole body was covered by the black cloak and robe, so they couldn't clearly see his specific face and body shape. They could only sense a dangerous aura from him.
"Players from the Blue Star, congratulations. You are the first to pass my test..."
"As long as you pay with your lifespan, you can exchange for the supplies you need from me. Hehe he!"
While chuckling, this NPC stretched out his hand and unfolded a list of goods...
"Damn it, six fingers?"
As soon as As Steady as an Old Dog saw it, his eyes widened in shock.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became a bit delicate. The black-robed NPC who had just stretched out his hand seemed to be emanating a cold air all over...
In the next moment...
A burst of dark energy exploded from within 'As Steady as an Old Dog' with a roar, boom! boom!
-999,999!
The tall and burly body of As Steady as an Old Dog was instantly blown to pieces!
A sphere of lifespan light condensed from his shattered corpse...
Seeing this, Qin Feng's mouth twitched: "It seems this brother isn't steady enough..."
On the God-Abandoned Continent, the important NPCs that would appear were basically powerful beings from other civilizations who had already acquired divinity!
They came to the God-Abandoned Continent to provide various services for Blue Star players while collecting the lifespan that Blue Star players obtained...
At the same time, they needed to abide by some ancient and existing rules.
They couldn't be attacked by ordinary players.
But they also couldn't attack ordinary players.
They could only set a 'taboo' within the scope of the rules. When a player violated this taboo, they could attack the player!
Obviously, the taboo set by this old guy in front of them was that no one could mention his six fingers!
As Steady as an Old Dog was usually cautious.
But he clearly didn't have any experience in dealing with NPCs in the God-Abandoned Game. He exclaimed on the spot and was instantly blown up...
"..."
The remaining four people, including Wang Meng, swallowed hard and silently picked up the tradable lifespan dropped by As Steady as an Old Dog.
Thus, there was a non-tradable lifespan light sphere left on the field, and no one else could pick it up.
Qin Feng silently raised his hand again, and the Cursed Flower bloomed on that light sphere and absorbed it.
This situation made Wang Meng and the other four people's breathing become a bit rapid.
The light sphere of non-tradable lifespan had always been something that only monsters could absorb, but 'Shadow' actually used a skill to absorb it!
Looking at that enchanting flower of death, Wang Meng and the other four people felt a bit of a chill run down their spines.
Even the Six-Fingered Warlock · Vickery seemed a bit surprised.
However, as a 'cold and aloof' NPC, he disdained to communicate too much with these lowly Blue Star players.
"Choose the Book of Divine Bestowal you need, exchange things with your lifespan, and then get out of here."
The Six-Fingered Warlock had a bad temper and said coldly. A list of goods appeared above his six fingers.
Book of Divine Bestowal?
What was that?
Wang Meng and the other four people were stunned. But with the precedent of 'As Steady as an Old Dog', they didn't dare to speak rashly.
They all started communicating with each other through eye contact, winking and making gestures.
"..."
Qin Feng saw this and was a bit speechless.
He didn't stand on ceremony either. He directly opened the list of goods and bought all nine kinds of the Book of Divine Bestowal on it!
The price of each Book of Divine Bestowal was 1,000 days of tradable lifespan, which was nearly three years.
This was the standard price.
If there were female players in the team, the price would at least double, and the difficulty of challenging the boss would also be higher...
Nine kinds of the Book of Divine Bestowal added up to less than 25 years of lifespan. And Qin Feng now had 466 years of tradable lifespan, so this consumption was just a trifle.
"Nine kinds of the Book of Divine Bestowal can meet my daily needs."
"However... There's also an achievement in this Tower of Divine Power that needs to be completed."
Before Qin Feng took the next step.
Wang Meng and the others had already seen the 'Book of Divine Bestowal' on the list of goods, and their eyes widened in an instant!
Unable to hold back, they started talking in the team channel.
"Damn it, what the hell is this? We can consume lifespan to create living materials in reality?"
"All kinds of food, water, beverages... With these Books of Divine Bestowal, I can even open a supermarket!"
"More than that. Look at this 'Book of Divine Bestowal · Mechanical Maid'... Don't stop me. I want to buy ten copies!!"
"Little brother, a friendly reminder. This Book of Divine Bestowal can be reused. Buying one copy is enough..."
"Idiot, can't I sell it after buying it?"
"Really not. It says it's soul-bound, little brother."
"Uh, okay..."
"Anyway, as expected of big shot Shadow. He said he would take us to get good things, and it's really good stuff!"
"Of course. When has our big shot ever let us down?"
...
Wang Meng and the others also brought a lot of tradable lifespan with them.
Of course, most of it was concentrated on Wang Meng.
All of a sudden, everyone started trading and bought the Book of Divine Bestowal from the Six-Fingered Warlock.
And for this kind of NPC, the 'Book of Divine Bestowal' was supplied in unlimited quantities.
Anyway, these NPCs didn't produce the Book of Divine Bestowal. They were just porters...
In the end, even these NPCs didn't know whose hands the lifespan taken by the Book of Divine Bestowal ended up in.
Of course.
The total amount of tradable lifespan on Wang Meng and the others wasn't that much.
The four of them added up and only bought twelve copies of the Book of Divine Bestowal in total.
"I didn't bring enough lifespan with me now. Can I come back to buy more later?" Wang Meng asked the Six-Fingered Warlock · Vickery cautiously.
Hearing this, Vickery chuckled: "Of course you can. However, you need to challenge again every time you buy. And the price might not be the same next time..."
Soon, seeing that Wang Meng and the others had finished trading, Qin Feng didn't wait any longer.
He directly said to the Six-Fingered Warlock · Vickery: "I read the description of the Tower of Divine Power. One can complete a high-difficulty challenge alone and thus obtain reputation... I want to challenge the highest difficulty. Is that okay?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Meng and the other four people fell silent.
The Six-Fingered Warlock · Vickery turned around, and his figure covered by the black cloak faced Qin Feng, as if observing him.
After a while, a gloomy and icy voice came out: "Tsk tsk. Just you? Based on your performance just now, you can't even complete the lowest difficulty alone, let alone the highest difficulty?"
Qin Feng smiled: "Just give it a try. What's the highest difficulty like?"
Vickery sneered: "The difficulty is divided into five levels. The highest is the fifth level. The boss is still the Gold-level Obsidian Skull-Cracking Puppet, but its attack, health, defense, and cooldown speed are increased by 500%!"
Qin Feng nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Meng and the others took a sharp breath.
It was okay that the attack and health were increased by 500%. After all, they knew that with Qin Feng's real strength, it didn't seem difficult to defeat the 'Obsidian Skull-Cracking Puppet' without taking damage.
However...
The cooldown speed was increased by 500%?
That meant the speed at which the boss released skills was increased five times, becoming six times the original!
Moreover, the defense being increased to six times the original meant that the boss would become extremely tough!
"We were already sweating profusely just trying to dodge the boss's skills!"
"With the skills being released at six times the speed, even the big shot can't dodge them, right?"
"No, I believe in the big shot. Since he's willing to try, it means he must have some certainty..."
"Even if he can dodge the skills, how long will it take the big shot to kill a boss with six times the health and defense? One mistake during the process and it's all over!"
"If it were us, we couldn't finish it in half an hour..."
"Half an hour? That's too optimistic. I'm afraid it would take an hour to kill it!"
"Even for the big shot, it would take at least ten minutes, right?"
