Chapter 428 - 177: The Wealth-Scattering Boy Appears, the Whole Nation Rejoices

Looking at the Scrolls in their hands, the Room Managers, who knew how much this Scroll was being scalped for in the Ninth World, all grew excited.

Activating the Personal Panel was the most basic requirement for survival in this apocalypse. The apocalypse had descended, and the world had become a world of Ability Users. Having a Personal Panel was the foundation for everything, and everyone was incredibly excited about this.

"Excellent!"

"You’ve all worked hard!"

"Keep up the great work!"

"I’ll come see you all in a few days!"

Seeing the Room Managers, who had received the Scrolls, let out a deafening cheer, Shen Fei responded with a smile.

At this moment, the Earth had expanded once again. The border areas between some countries, in particular, had expanded by nearly ten thousand times their original size. Therefore, although the Ninth World had emerged, the location of the Room Managers in the Northern Territory of Myanmar had grown in importance. Moreover, near the headquarters of the Ninth World, there were beings from a special region that had completely submitted to Shen Fei. For Shen Fei, who was discovering that these special regions were becoming more and more peculiar, this was something he needed to investigate immediately.

But because of the expanded territory, if he wanted to go to the Northern Territory of Myanmar, he would have to use the [Long-range Teleportation] ability that came with his Divine Artifact. Shen Fei, who currently had three uses left, wanted to conserve them. However, as the Ninth World grew increasingly important, he still had to go to that place. And he had to go as soon as possible.

After sending out the planned Personal Panel Activation Scrolls and letting the Room Managers celebrate, Shen Fei’s gaze returned to the Ninth World. He knew that after using the Scrolls, these Room Managers would gain a Personal Panel, just like players. Furthermore, upon activating their Personal Panel, they would also randomly learn a skill. Although they couldn’t inherit abilities from the Game World, having a Personal Panel did allow them to get a random skill. In addition, they could also learn and use items and Skill Books inherited by other players from the Game World. They could also enter Secret Realms to grind for items.

Therefore, although they couldn’t level up by inheriting items every week, as long as they had a Personal Panel, all other opportunities would become available to them. And as long as there was an opportunity, anything was possible. Shen Fei believed that by relying on the Ninth World, the speed at which his completely loyal Room Managers improved would definitely not be slow.

His perspective then shifted to the Ninth World. Shen Fei saw that while he had been resting, the Ninth World had become even more explosive with the addition of over three hundred new people. All sorts of resources had burst forth. In the mere seven or eight hours he had been resting, the total transaction tax revenue of the Ninth World had reached another two billion. Seeing this, Shen Fei could only smile and use the two billion to open nearly a hundred new connection nodes.

They were currently in the initial phase. As long as he had Credit Points, it was best to open new connection nodes. As the number of people increased, the cost of opening new nodes would increase severalfold. Therefore, Shen Fei understood that this expansion might soon come to a halt because the cost of opening a single node would become too exorbitant.

After spending the newly accumulated two billion, Shen Fei began to check if any new special items had appeared in the Ninth World.

"Hm?"

But he had barely started looking when he suddenly froze. He saw that countless people were pinging him with call requests, and the list of people was extremely varied. It included his father and Sun Yu from Qing City, as well as Huang Yi from the Divine Capital and Zhao Li from Songhai. Even his sister and mother had sent him call requests.

"Bro!"

"Bro!"

"Help!"

"This is bad!"

While Shen Fei was still trying to figure out what was going on, Sun Yu came charging toward Shen Fei’s villa in a [Chariot] chess piece, screaming his head off. Currently, because of Shen Fei, the only people who could freely enter the Nanshan Villa area, besides Shen Fei’s family, were a select few like Sun Yu. Everyone else was frantically sending Shen Fei call requests, but Sun Yu, while sending his, had also charged over directly.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Fei asked, a little curious as he watched Sun Yu’s frantic state.

"Bro!"

"Songhai!"

"Something’s happened in Songhai!"

"That giant tidal wave in Songhai, it’s back!"

"And this time, the NPCs and bosses coming with the wave are all legendary figures!"

"You’re the only one who can help!"

After getting through to Shen Fei, Sun Yu shouted frantically. From his shouts, Shen Fei finally learned that the monster tide was causing trouble again. However, the problem this time wasn’t the monster tide itself, but rather, the ocean in the special region to the east of Songhai, which had erupted once more, accompanying the monster tide.

So it never ends, huh? Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile! Good. I was just getting interested in these special regions.

After hearing Sun Yu’s words, Shen Fei quickly opened the Forum and saw that the live broadcast thread for the Songhai monster tide had instantly shot to the number one trending spot. His expression hardened. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Teleportation Gate Tower, which appeared in front of the Teleportation Array in Qing City.

"Don’t worry! Just focus on defending against the monster tide!"

After calling out to Sun Yu, Shen Fei activated the Teleportation Array with a whoosh. The scene before him blurred, and he appeared on the city walls of Songhai.

As Shen Fei’s figure appeared, a heaven-shaking cheer immediately erupted from the walls of Songhai’s Ye City. In everyone’s minds, Shen Fei’s arrival meant Qingtian had arrived. The monsters, who had been showing off their might, would now be ground to dust.

As the image of Shen Fei appearing in Ye City was broadcast live, all the pinging call requests trying to contact him instantly vanished. Clearly, everyone had been trying to contact Shen Fei because of the situation in Songhai. Similarly, as the footage was broadcast, the entire mood among the other players watching the Ye City situation through the thread shifted, and they all instantly relaxed.

Just a moment ago, after seeing countless waves—even more numerous, larger, and taller than before—rise up to the east of Songhai, Zhao Li had furiously attacked with his Invincible Immortal Technique and powerful Immortal Sword. His attack successfully broke the special Barrier outside the special region, but it was greatly weakened after breaking through. The power of the attack failed to harm the NPCs and Super Bosses hidden within the waves.

As for the attacks from the other people in Songhai City, they weren’t even worth mentioning; their attacks couldn’t even break the Barrier. Because of this, the other people continued to focus their attention on the monster tide, while Zhao Li aimed his attacks at the returning waves.

"Fuck your grandma! You came here last time!" he roared. "This time I’m back, and you still dare to show your faces!"

Zhao Li, who already knew this group had come three days ago only to be annihilated by Brother Chongtian, unleashed an endless torrent of fury at the returning NPCs. Unfortunately, after a dozen or so moves, he found that his Attack Power could barely inflict any damage through the Barrier. Then, amidst the shouts from the players watching the live broadcast—"Go find the Tathagata Buddha!" "Go find the Cyan God Buddha!" "Go find Brother Chongtian!"—Zhao Li contacted Shen Fei.

Now, seeing Shen Fei arrive, Zhao Li flickered and reappeared right next to him.

SPLASH! SPLASH!

Standing on the walls of Ye City, Shen Fei watched the succession of tidal waves before him, each one stronger than the last, completely obscuring the entire eastern region of Songhai. His gaze gradually hardened.

He could see them. Standing atop the waves were NPCs and Super Bosses who were clearly stronger and more numerous than the ones from three days ago. At the crest of the waves, he saw not only figures like Sun Wukong, Pigsy, and the East Sea Dragon King, inherited from who knows which Game World, but he also saw various other game creatures like Thanos, the Sea God, and the Canglan Goddess. This group had focused, intelligent gazes. Their aggressive demeanor was clearly far more pronounced than that of the last batch of NPCs.

Perhaps because they saw that Shen Fei, the group’s backbone, had appeared, or perhaps because they felt the time was right, a booming voice suddenly rang out from the NPCs in front not long after Shen Fei arrived.

"Listen up!

"Listen, human players!

"Hand over the human named Brother Kaipan!

"And tell us everything you know about the [Heroic Mark] item!

"Otherwise, we will let endless waves submerge all land within two hundred li of your Great Xia coastline!"

"Hm?"

Hearing the NPC’s words, Shen Fei and Zhao Li’s pupils widened as they exchanged a look.

[Heroic Mark]? Wasn’t that the very thing they had just obtained from the Game World?

They came for the Heroic Mark? A thought flashed through Shen Fei’s mind as he looked at the NPCs before him.
