"To continue evolving the Subshadow skill, I need 3 Evolution Points."

  "I only have 2 left..."

  Qin Feng could only choose to evolve the 'Backstab Enhancement' skill.

  [You have consumed 1 Evolution Point, leaving 1 point remaining.]

  [Initial Skill: Backstab Enhancement (Inferior → Common). Passive Effect: When attacking from behind the target, damage increases from 10% to 15%.]

  Qin Feng was quite satisfied with the evolution effect of 'Backstab Enhancement.'

  Although it only increased damage by 5%, it was foreseeable how powerful this skill could become if it continued to evolve.

  "Css passive damage doubles.

  If I evolve the damage boost of Backstab Enhancement to 100%... That would stack up to four times the damage!"

  Having been in the Abandoned Gods Game for nine years and being among the top 100 globally, Qin Feng was very clear about the effects of skill values.

  Now, Qin Feng was a bit curious.

  If these skills keep evolving, wouldn't they surpass the highest Immortal level?

  "Take the Subshadow skill, for instance. If it keeps evolving, the duration gets longer, the cooldown shorter...

  Could it reach a point of no cooldown?

  Can the damage boost of Backstab Enhancement reach 100% or even higher if it keeps evolving?"

  Qin Feng was quite looking forward to it.

  After all, in his previous life, he had never heard of skills being able to evolve.

  Whether it was equipment or skill books, whatever grade they dropped from monsters, they would always remain that grade, with no possibility of change.

  But now...

  Qin Feng's original talent had completely defied logic!

  Infinite Evolution.

  From now on, his skills would crush anyone else's.

  "That's about it, I can enter the game now..."

  Qin Feng gnced at his remaining Evolution Points.

  He still had 1 point left.

  But evolving 'Subshadow' required 3 points, and evolving 'Backstab Enhancement' required 2 points, so there were no skills he could evolve for the time being.

  When he decided to enter the game, a gray input box popped up before him:

  [Please enter your game codename]

  In the Abandoned Gods Game, every pyer needed to choose a codename, simir to an online game nickname in reality.

  Nicknames couldn't be repeated, and if they were, a string of numbers would be added to the codename for distinction.

  "I'll call myself 'Shadow.'"

  Qin Feng raised his hand and wrote these two bck characters in the gray input box.

  When he finished writing, the input box dissipated like smoke...

  ***

  [Your codename is: Shadow]

  [Entering the Land of Forsaken Gods...]

  The darkness before Qin Feng's eyes gradually dissipated like thick smoke.

  He began to feel a sense of solid ground beneath his feet.

  As the surrounding darkness faded, what appeared before him was a dipidated small town. It was nighttime, and the town was draped in a yer of moonlight, like a silver veil, giving the entire town a desote and rundown appearance...

  Qin Feng stood in the central square of this small town.

  In the square, there were a few pyers in bck robes, looking bewildered as they observed their surroundings.

  As for NPCs...

  In the Abandoned Gods Game, NPCs weren't programmed entities but intelligent beings from other civilizations.

  Dealing with those NPCs required extreme caution!

  Otherwise, you might carelessly lose all your lifespan, with no chance for regret.

  Of course, in such a novice town, you naturally wouldn't see any NPCs.

  Pyers from Blue Star who had just arrived in the Land of Forsaken Gods had zero tradeable lifespan, making them almost worthless to NPCs...

  [Welcome to the Land of Forsaken Gods.]

  [This is a desote nd, with countless monsters rampaging. Be careful, they are always ready to tear you apart and take your lifespan...]

  [Leave the town, kill monsters, and you will gain tradeable lifespan.]

  [But if you die in the game, half of your remaining lifespan (including tradeable and non-tradeable lifespan) will be deducted.]

  The familiar system prompt echoed in Qin Feng's mind.

  If it were his first time entering the Abandoned Gods Game, he might have been amazed.

  But Qin Feng no longer had any emotional fluctuations.

  He simply checked the map.

  [Shell Town: Peaceful Zone (No monsters in this area, and pyers cannot attack each other)]

  [This area is a mild zone, with a lifespan loss rate of 1x]

  "As expected, I've changed locations. Shell Town..."

  Qin Feng muttered to himself.

  Due to the different entry times into the Abandoned Gods Game, the pce he nded was also different.

  In the Land of Forsaken Gods, there were over a billion novice towns.

  Novice towns, also commonly known as 'safe zones'!

  Each novice town could accommodate up to a thousand people.

  Once full, subsequent pyers would be assigned to other initial towns.

  "However, the initial towns are distinguished by region and entry time. So, the pyers in Shell Town are also from the Great Xia Nation, Jianghai City."

  Qin Feng gnced around.

  There were already 127 people in Shell Town.

  Qin Feng was the 128th.

  "Attribute panel."

  After checking the map information, Qin Feng proceeded to check his own attributes.

  In the Abandoned Gods Game...

  Attributes were crucial!

  ***

  [Codename: Shadow]

  [Css: Shadow]

  [Level: 1]

  [Non-tradeable lifespan: 75 years]

  [Tradeable lifespan: 0]

  [Strength: 10 (+3)]

  [Constitution: 10 (+3)]

  [Agility: 10 (+8)]

  [Mentality: 10 (+5)]

  [Free Attribute Points: 5 points]

  ***

  All pyers started with 10 points in the four basic attributes.

  The numbers in parentheses were css bonuses.

  "The Shadow css, truly a hidden css! Such high initial attribute bonuses?"

  Qin Feng was astonished.

  In his previous life, his Warrior css only gave him 3 extra points in strength and constitution at the start.

  But the Shadow css...

  It added 3 points each to constitution and strength, plus 8 points to agility and 5 points to mentality!

  "Strength affects physical attack power.

  Constitution affects physical defense and health.

  Agility affects movement speed, attack speed, and skill casting speed.

  Mentality affects elemental attack power and elemental resistance."

  Qin Feng was very clear about the effects of each attribute.

  In his previous life, many people chose to add points to strength or mentality at the start to enhance physical/magical attack power.

  But in reality...

  Agility was the most crucial!

  "The monsters in the Abandoned Gods Game are extremely powerful!

  Even a random small monster can easily sughter novice pyers.

  To ensure survival in the early stages, you must add to agility. No matter the css, only by having a speed advantage can you possibly kill monsters without taking damage!"

  Many pyers had a natural misconception, thinking damage was the most important.

  But it's important to know that in the Abandoned Gods Game, death results in a lifespan deduction.

  The importance of lifespan needs no further expnation.

  Without the assurance of speed, in many cases, you can only die in despair.

  "As long as the speed is fast enough, you can attack or retreat.

  On the contrary, the damage increase from adding a bit of strength early on is somewhat negligible... For me, even more so.

  The Bronze-level Subshadow skill already adds 90 points of stealth attack power, equivalent to the effect of 90 points of strength!

  In the early stages, I don't ck damage, nor do I need to add strength.

  Speed is the only necessity!"
