Chapter 439 - 179: The Allure of the Beauty Snake, Speedrunning the Secret Path

I can’t take everyone in one go. The combat power left behind to guard can’t be too low... After all, there are NPCs from special areas and Super Bosses lying in wait...

As Sun Yu hurried off to gather people at Shen Fei’s prompting, a thought crossed Shen Fei’s mind. Aside from the group from Qing City, who were deliberately waiting for him to lead them, he realized that Huang Yi and Zhao Li hadn’t entered a Secret Realm yet. Neither had Succubus’s Tear and Young Master Void, who had entered the Game World with him before.

However, he didn’t plan on bringing Huang Yi and Zhao Li along. With their level of Combat Power, they didn’t need him to lead them. On the contrary, those two had to lead their own people from Songhai and the Divine Capital into Secret Realms.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Just as Shen Fei was heading toward the Heaven-Reaching Tower in the center of Qing City, he suddenly received a call request from Zhao Li.

"Brother Fei!

"I sent you something through the [Ninth World]!

"Go ahead and accept it!

"It’s related to the Secret Realms! I just heard from Brother Kaipan that you guys in Qing City are about to enter one?

"This item should come in handy!"

Without wasting any words, Zhao Li got straight to the point.

"That’s right! I take it you’re not joining us?" Shen Fei nodded in response. As he accepted the targeted trade offer through the trade panel, he was surprised that Sun Yu had even called Zhao Li while gathering people.

"Yeah, I’m sitting this one out. I still have to lead the people from Songhai!

"Once this mandatory Secret Realm mission is over, we can team up next time!"

It was just as Shen Fei had thought. Zhao Li really did have his own people to lead, so he’d chosen not to join them.

"Alright!"

After hanging up with Zhao Li, Shen Fei retrieved the item he had just been sent from the [Ninth World]’s trade channel:

[Secret Realm Teleportation Gate: Allows the user to construct a teleportation gate connected to a Secret Realm. Consumes City Energy to teleport players directly to a selected Secret Realm over a long distance. The target Secret Realm’s name must be entered correctly upon use.]

A disc-shaped, yet-to-be-activated item appeared in Shen Fei’s hand. Looking at its Attributes, Shen Fei remembered that this was the prize for second place in the individual competition of the Great Chaos Secret Realm. The winner had been awarded three [Secret Realm Teleportation Gates].

Obviously, this was an incredibly convenient item. With this Teleportation Gate, as long as you knew a Secret Realm’s name, you could use it to enter that realm directly, with no need to physically run to its entrance anymore.

Shen Fei had heard that some people had already seized control of Secret Realm entrances in the wild and were forcibly charging admission fees. But with the Teleportation Gate, such fees were irrelevant; there was no need to pay at all.

"Not bad!"

Seeing the item Zhao Li had sent, Shen Fei nodded and placed the Secret Realm Teleportation Gate right next to the city’s Teleportation Array. This thing was truly excellent. Although he had ten [Secret Realm Teleportation Scrolls] from the Great Chaos Secret Realm, those scrolls were consumables, whereas the Teleportation Gate could be used permanently.

With this Teleportation Gate, if he wanted to enter the [Lin’an City] Secret Realm located in Hang City, he wouldn’t have to travel all the way there but could just use the Secret Realm Teleportation Gate directly.

"Bro!

"Everyone’s here!

"We’re all by the Heaven-Reaching Tower!"

Not long after he set down the Secret Realm Teleportation Gate, a message from Sun Yu arrived.

WHOOSH.

Without a second thought, Shen Fei activated his Teleportation Gate Tower and instantly appeared near the Heaven-Reaching Tower...

"This many?"

Shen Fei grimaced slightly as he looked at the huge crowd trailing behind Sun Yu. Behind Sun Yu, he saw not only his relatives—his father, mother, Uncle Sun, Shen Yue, and Xiaohong—but also high-ranking members of the Qing City Tourism Management Office like Zhang Qiqiang and Wang Dapang. There were even several hundred members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang...

Clearly, even though many of them were quite strong, everyone wanted to be carried by Shen Fei. They all wanted to just coast, with no intention of fighting for themselves. With an asset like Shen Fei around, the players of Qing City were remarkably patient. Even though half the time for the mandatory "Enter a Secret Realm" mission had already passed, everyone had faith in Shen Fei and held off, waiting for him to lead the way...

Shen Fei also noticed Succubus’s Tear and Young Master Void, whom he knew from the Game World, standing among the original players from Qing City. One of them, Succubus’s Tear, was holding hands tightly with Xiaohong, while the other, Young Master Void, had somehow grown close to Qiao Shan, a college student who had recently joined the Heaven-Reaching Gang...

"Hehehe!"

Hearing Shen Fei’s remark, Sun Yu and the rest of the crowd all chuckled sheepishly. Although everyone had pitched in to fend off the earlier monster horde, the truth was, what they really wanted deep down was to enter a Secret Realm with Shen Fei. The moment Sun Yu put out the call, everyone had dropped whatever they were doing and rushed over.

Now, they were all looking at Shen Fei with faces full of anticipation.

"Alright, let me check the Secret Realms first!" Shen Fei said. Leading nearly a thousand people into a Secret Realm in one go was something he had never even heard of. Whether in past games or from the intel he’d recently gathered on the Forums, no one had ever taken so many people into a Secret Realm at once. Clearly, he would have to take them in batches.

"Brother Fei! We’ve made our own preparations!" As Shen Fei headed toward the Heaven-Reaching Tower, Zhang Qiqiang, now the firm director of the Qing City Tourism Management Office, approached and handed him a few items.

[Multi-Person Secret Realm Refresh Scroll: Resets the cooldown (CD) of a multi-person Secret Realm. Allows the target to enter a multi-person Secret Realm again within one week!]
