Chapter 429 - 178: With a Wave, Masts and Oars Turn to Ash, Supreme NPC? Come, Let Me See Your...

WHOOSH.

Following the furious roars of the NPCs atop the waves ahead, the ocean swells began to churn once more, wave after wave. Countless waves stacked on top of each other, accelerating as they bore down on Songhai.

Compared to the colossal waves that blotted out the sky, like mountains of water crashing down, the ten streams of minions still charging toward Songhai seemed like a minor issue...

"Hand him over!"

"Hand him over!"

"Hand him over!"

As Shen Fei and his group watched, voices rose from the waves, their shouts cutting through the immense pressure of the surge.

Shen Fei and Zhao Li remained relatively calm. However, faced with the heaven-swallowing waves and universe-shaking roars, the other players from Ye City wore strange expressions. They had no idea what was going on with the famous Brother Kaipan at this moment. Nor did they know why Brother Kaipan had been targeted by this group of NPCs again. By the looks of it, they were planning to abduct him.

"Holy shit! Brother Kaipan, what did you do?"

"Brother Kaipan, did you start taking bets again? Did you scam an NPC out of their money?"

"Brother Kaipan, what have you done?"

Everyone heard it. The swarming NPCs seemed to be after Sun Yu, the man nicknamed Brother Kaipan. All sorts of players who weren’t in Ye City quickly made posts on the Forum, @’ing and asking Sun Yu what was going on.

"How the hell should I know what’s going on!"

"I have no fucking idea either! Guys, I’m losing my mind here!!"

Sun Yu, who was being called out by countless NPCs, was also a bit dumbfounded. It was the first time he realized that he was actually this famous. He even had a reputation among the NPCs deep in the ocean, though it seemed it wasn’t a good one. But at least, Sun Yu’s nickname, Brother Kaipan, had certainly made a name for itself.

"Bro! What’s going on?"

Confused, Sun Yu stood on the city walls of Qing City, fending off monsters while looking at the curious Qing City players around him. Speechless, he could only send a message to his big bro, Shen Fei.

"The [Heroic Mark]!"

"Hand over the [Heroic Mark]!"

"Hand over the [Heroic Mark]!"

Shen Fei didn’t have time to answer Sun Yu’s question. Under his watchful gaze, perhaps having noticed the peculiar expressions on the Ye City players’ faces after hearing "Brother Kaipan," the NPCs who were controlling the giant waves while shouting called out a new demand.

"It seems one of you took the [Heroic Mark] from before!"

Hearing the NPCs’ new demand, a thought surfaced in Shen Fei’s mind, and he instantly understood. This group had returned because of the [Heroic Mark] that had been instantly bought for 40 billion Credit Points. Moreover, it was highly probable that the [Heroic Mark] he had sold was now in the hands of these very NPCs.

WHOOSH.

He saw the arrogant NPCs commanding the sea forward, and as the water advanced, the boundary sealing off the special region also began to push slowly toward Ye City. Without another word, Shen Fei pulled a new [Heroic Mark] from his inventory and listed it on the [Ninth World]’s bartering channel.

"Item for Sale: Heroic Mark; Item Wanted: A revival item with unlimited uses!"

This time, Shen Fei, who had deliberately listed the second Heroic Mark, didn’t set a price. Instead, he directly set a barter-based condition for the sale. The item he wanted in exchange was something he’d never even heard of: a revival item that could be used in the real world to grant instant resurrection upon death.

The [Heroic Mark] was an item that human players and their affiliated Heroes couldn’t use; it was only for NPCs and Super Bosses. Now, facing the menacing NPCs and Super Bosses, Shen Fei immediately put another one up for grabs. He wanted these arrogant NPCs and bosses to know that the Ninth World still had more of these.

WHOOSH.

As expected, the moment Shen Fei listed the [Heroic Mark] on the Ninth World, the rapidly advancing waves came to an abrupt halt.

Among this massive number of NPCs, there must be someone with the ability to connect to the Ninth World.

Seeing this, Shen Fei directly opened the [Ninth World] and retracted all connection nodes within the oceanic region. Instantly, all bosses and NPCs in the oceanic regions who could connect to the Ninth World lost their access.

These creatures from the special oceanic region were far too arrogant. They had commanded the waves to invade twice in a row. Believing it was better to kill an innocent person than to let a guilty one escape, Shen Fei revoked all their access to the Ninth World.

BOOM!

After retracting the connection node privileges, Shen Fei’s gaze hardened, and he directly controlled his Defense Towers to fire upon the distant waves.

Since you dare to approach Great Xia and shout so arrogantly, then don’t even think about going back!

Having confirmed why these NPCs and bosses had come, Shen Fei had already decided to make sure none of them left. Lately, he had become very interested in the creatures from the special regions. The last time, interrogating the creatures he’d caught hadn’t yielded any satisfactory answers. Now, his Combat Power had just received its greatest boost since he inherited his game abilities. This new batch of NPCs and Super Bosses before him was clearly much stronger than the ones from three days ago.

He was going to capture all of them and interrogate them thoroughly.

Even if the interrogation yields nothing, anyone who dares to come here and cause a ruckus must die!

As Shen Fei’s 500 Defense Towers unleashed their Cluster Attack, a crisp CRACK instantly echoed through the space ahead. Then, to everyone’s utter astonishment, a massive hole hundreds of meters wide was punched through the giant waves.
