Chapter 426 - 177: The Wealth-Scattering Boy Appears, the Whole Nation Rejoices

What the public didn’t know was that in other countries, most of the players sent on mandatory missions had already died. Even worse, countless National Treasure Divine Artifacts had been left behind in the Game World...

WHOOSH.

Shen Fei scrolled through the chaotic Forum posts, noting from livestream threads that Zhao Li and Huang Yi had already taken action to firmly defend Songhai and the Divine Capital. Satisfied, he quickly closed the Forum.

WHOOSH.

The moment he closed the Forum, Shen Fei waved his hand, directly summoning 500 Defense Towers at his feet.

If I hit them with this Cluster Attack, the monsters will definitely be wiped out in one fell swoop, but it might also cause the very earth to shatter!

Having summoned the Defense Towers, Shen Fei was itching to test them out from a distance and attack a monster wave. However, just as he was about to act, he instinctively stopped. He hesitated to unleash a Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers.

This was his hometown, after all. Although Blue Star’s Defense Power had been enhanced many times over, a Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers was still a bit too powerful. In the Game World, he could attack with abandon, but here on Blue Star, he had to be more restrained. If he couldn’t hold back and ended up turning the area around Qing City into Swiss cheese, that was not an outcome he wanted to see.

WHOOSH.

The moment he made his decision, Shen Fei quickly waved his hand, changing his strategy and reducing the number of attacking Defense Towers to 50. Then, a volley of multi-colored attacks from the various Defense Towers shot toward the monster wave over a hundred kilometers away.

The attacks from 50 Defense Towers couldn’t form a Cluster Attack, but even so, they were still incredibly powerful. In less than a few seconds, Shen Fei saw his personal panel open, and lines of text began to scroll by:

[EXP +12]

[EXP +71]

[EXP +3]

[EXP +6]

[EXP +29]

...

As the attacks from Shen Fei’s Defense Towers landed, the thirty-odd small monster waves around Qing City were instantly wiped out.

Meanwhile, Sun Yu and the others on the front lines saw the attacks originating from Nanshan Villa wipe out everything in an instant. They were used to it, showing no surprise or awe whatsoever. Many people in Qing City knew that the Cyan God lived at Nanshan Villa. It was therefore perfectly normal for attacks to erupt from the Nanshan Villa district and instantly clear out over thirty spawned monster waves. In fact, they would have been surprised if he *hadn’t* wiped them out.

WHOOSH.

The people on the front lines weren’t surprised, and back at the villa, neither was Shen Fei. Looking at the experience points on his panel, he lost all interest in annihilating monster waves. Although the number of monsters was huge and the experience gained from a single wave was not insignificant, it was nothing compared to before. Every time he killed a boss, he would gain hundreds of millions, even billions, of experience points. He now looked down on this mere trickle of experience.

Of course, the main reason was that he was now Level 140, and the experience required to level up was just too high. Even though this trickle of experience was made of numerous small gains, the grand total didn’t even reach a hundred million. It simply wasn’t worth his attention.

Through the vision of his Detection Towers, Shen Fei saw that the monster waves he had just cleared with 50 Defense Towers were already respawning from various Monster Nests. Unfortunately, waiting for the newly spawned monsters to run to the city walls so their numbers could accumulate would take at least another ten minutes.

Making me wait like this just for that little bit of experience! I can’t stand it!

[EXP +11]

[EXP +9]

[EXP +1]

[EXP +7]

...

Shen Fei had no interest in attacking again, but his personal panel continued to display a trickle of experience points. The earlier attack from the 50 Defense Towers had killed several million monsters, and the combat log for each kill had to scroll by individually...

Maybe I’ll go check on Hang City? I should see if that monster-occupied city is still erupting with monster waves. And I’ll check on my Beauty Snake, too...

Ignoring the experience notifications that continued to scroll by and seeing that the major cities had no problem fending off the small monster waves, Shen Fei gave up on the idea of farming more monsters. As the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly decided to go take a look at Hang City. After all, there was a Neutral City there that had been overrun by a monster wave. Plus, there was a monster he controlled with his [Mind Control Tower], and on top of that, there was the special [Lin’an] City Secret Realm that he himself had created.

[EXP +3]

DING!

[Level Increased to 141!]

Just as he was about to take the Teleportation Array to Songhai, intending to travel to Hang City from there, Shen Fei was caught off guard when his body suddenly flashed with light. He had actually leveled up! Although the EXP from the monster wave had been minimal, it was just enough to top off his nearly full Experience Bar.

Previously, during the counter-invasion of the Game World, every time Shen Fei killed the final boss of a world, he would gain over a hundred million experience points, since his Experience Bar was unlocked. In the final 17th and 18th Ring Worlds, he had received a total of 13 such experience rewards. This cumulative experience, combined with the EXP from clearing the monster wave just now, was finally enough to push Shen Fei to Level 141.

Since Level 141 wasn’t a major milestone that occurred every ten levels, Shen Fei didn’t gain any new Defense Tower slots or skill slots. However, due to the level bonus, his base Combat Power boost increased to 141%.

Because of my level, compared to before, I now have an extra skill slot, an achievement called [Nest Killer], and 18 Defense Tower slots...

The level-up prompted Shen Fei to turn his attention to his personal panel. He saw that he now possessed these new assets.
