Chapter 423 - 177: The Wealth-Scattering Boy Appears, and the Nation Rejoices

Haaaaah...

「The next day.」

「Qing City.」

After a full night’s sleep, Shen Fei, feeling refreshed and invigorated, stretched lazily and pushed open his bedroom window.

It was a bright and sunny day. Having slept a full eight hours, Shen Fei breathed in the fresh air, and his mood lifted instantly as he gazed upon the sun-drenched city before him.

It had been over three weeks since the game abilities were inherited. In another three or four days, the fourth inheritance of game abilities would occur.

Now, versions 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 had been fully updated. Version 4.4, the Secret Realm update, was mostly complete, and the 4.5 quest system had also been activated. Moreover, the [Ninth World] he had launched just two days ago was already incredibly lively.

Compared to his previous life, the reincarnated Shen Fei was well aware that everything was happening ahead of schedule...

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

As Shen Fei stretched his arms, enjoying a moment of leisure, violent rumbles echoed from the walls of the distant Neutral City.

Shen Fei knew that the minor monster tide, which occurred every three days, had broken out again. Under the leadership of the Qing City Tourism Management Office, the Ability Users of Qing City had already begun their preemptive attack.

Listening to the sounds of battle in the distance, Shen Fei, who was savoring this rare moment of peace, felt no rush to deal with the so-called monster tide. During the major monster tide three days ago, he had single-handedly defended the nation against the horde. Now, this was the minor monster tide three days later, with only one-fifth the power of the previous one. He felt that the Ability Users of Qing City, having survived the major monster tide, were more than capable of fending off this one.

They had successfully repelled the tide three days ago, which counted as clearing the initial challenge. With the second monster tide now arriving, there was no longer any need to worry. This time, he didn’t plan on intervening at all.

With the experience from the last wave, many people had even entered the Secret Realms over the past few days, grinding for good loot and further increasing their Combat Power. Therefore, Shen Fei decided that if he didn’t have to act, he wouldn’t...

There’s no one to even make me a meal... They all went off to fight the monster tide...

Stretching lazily, he went from the third floor down to the first. Seeing that no one was home and that no food had been left for him, Shen Fei couldn’t help but grumble.

He knew that although his family hadn’t woken him, everyone was on edge because of the monster tide. Therefore, everyone had gone to the city walls to help with the battle. Now, he was all alone at home.

Xiaohong! A Succubus bloodline... I never would have thought! So this is who you really are, Li Xiaohong!

After resting up, Shen Fei casually grabbed a tomato from the fridge—he had no idea if his mother had grown it or where it came from—and sat at the dining table. He chewed on the tomato while his thoughts turned to Xiaohong.

Three days ago, Xiaohong had personally told him that she had inherited a Succubus bloodline. Because of that, she also told Shen Fei about the [Tears of the Succubus]. Furthermore, she had even helped Shen Fei gather a lot of intelligence on [Young Master Void].

He had communicated with [Tears of the Succubus] earlier in the Game World and knew that this person was about to arrive in Qing City.

As Shen Fei relaxed, the first thing he thought of was the ability Xiaohong had inherited. He never imagined that there was a Little Enchanting Demon right by his side... This... This... This was truly too much of a coincidence.

Before, Shen Fei knew that Xiaohong liked him, but she wasn’t his type. Now, however, with time on his hands, the thought of Xiaohong inheriting a Succubus bloodline suddenly piqued Shen Fei’s interest.

If it were the ordinary Xiaohong, he probably wouldn’t have felt anything. If it were a Xiaohong who had inherited some other game ability, he still wouldn’t have felt anything. But, if it was a Xiaohong who had inherited a Succubus bloodline, and the kind of Succubus bloodline that came with a tail, then he would be very interested. Very interested indeed!

Classmate Li Xiaohong! You’re quite something! You’ve hidden it well...

Chewing on his tomato, Shen Fei mused to himself.

SWISH.

After musing about Li Xiaohong and guessing that she was probably on one of the city walls assisting in the battle with his sister Shen Yue, Shen Fei dismissed the idea of looking for her and opened the Forum...

The Forum had been completely transformed into a hub for players from Great Xia. Moreover, after Shen Fei had stopped hiding his strength and unleashed it three days ago, the entire Forum was flooded with all sorts of threads showing off abilities.

Many secretive organizations, like the [Patrolling Rangers] and the [Masked Fools], had even started their own dedicated threads. On one hand, they showed off their power. On the other, they recruited new members.

Aside from the five cities where Shen Fei had helped establish [Teleportation Arrays], several other cities in Great Xia had also begun openly publishing announcements and information about their own territories. A massive war for talent had begun!

Even more surprisingly, while browsing the threads on the Forum, Shen Fei saw that a smaller city had also managed to build a Teleportation Array. This was a city that had been captured through its inhabitants’ own strength, without his help. Furthermore, its Teleportation Array had already established preliminary connections with other cities.

Now, the number of cities in Great Xia with Teleportation Arrays had risen to six. All sorts of information were exploding across the Forum without reservation, and the entirety of Great Xia was experiencing a period of vibrant growth.

Because Shen Fei had set such a dazzling precedent, no one was hiding or concealing their Combat Power anymore. At least, the vast majority of people and factions were no longer hiding their strength.

No matter how strong we are, can we be stronger than the Cyan God who defended an entire nation by himself? No matter how strong we are, can we instantly kill a Monster Nest with 10,000,000,000 HP in a single move?
