Chapter 463 - 183: A Sky Full of Stars, Chaos Strike! Endless Attacks Toward Distant Stars

In ten minutes at most, the vanguard of the monster tide would clash with the Neutral Cities on the outskirts of Qing City.

Xiaohong... Succubus... This is interesting...

While using the Detection Towers to observe the monster tide on the periphery, Shen Fei’s thoughts turned to Xiaohong.

「Two days ago.」

Xiaohong had moved out! She had left the Shen Family villa and moved into a small Neutral City, no longer living under the same roof as Shen Fei.

Because of this, when Shen Fei was checking on the game abilities his family had inherited tonight, he couldn’t ask Xiaohong about her situation. Shen Fei, who was used to her being by his side for nearly every ability inheritance, found her sudden move a little strange.

Succubus Bloodline! Succubus Legion! Tear of the Succubus!

Since he knew what abilities Xiaohong had inherited, Shen Fei had also looked into her situation a little. He discovered that Xiaohong had joined a special organization called the Succubus Legion. All of its members were female players who had inherited a Succubus bloodline from the succubus-themed game. He also learned that the leader of this Succubus Legion was someone he was somewhat familiar with: "Tear of the Succubus." He also knew that Xiaohong had moved out on the advice of Tear of the Succubus. Furthermore, his sister Shen Yue had also been up to some mischief in the matter...

Xiaohong...

After briefly speculating on what abilities Xiaohong might have inherited, Shen Fei quickly shifted his focus back to the outskirts of Qing City.

Tonight was another important day, marking a new wave of ability inheritances. For the next ten-plus hours, the entire planet would be in chaos. Players would have to deal with the monster tides spawning around the Neutral Cities. At the same time, with the new inheritance of game abilities, in-game monsters, NPCs, Super Bosses, Secret Realms, items, and even entire locations would begin manifesting in reality. This process would continue for over ten hours. With players also needing to familiarize themselves with their newly inherited abilities, the entire world was essentially about to descend into chaos.

His duty was to continue guarding all of Great Xia. At the very least, he had to ensure the so-called monster tides couldn’t bully Great Xia’s players.

Without moving from his villa, Shen Fei remotely observed the situation using his Detection Towers. At the same time, he monitored the Forum to keep an eye on the other Neutral Cities where monster tides were also erupting.

He remotely operated his Defense Towers, picking off the "vanguard" monsters that had broken away from the main tide and rushed ahead on the outskirts of Qing City. Shen Fei also extended the range of his Detection Towers to its maximum, surveying the situation within a 10,000-kilometer radius of Qing City.

After the enhancements from tonight’s fourth game ability inheritance, the base range of most of his Defense Towers—aside from his unique Domain Tower—had now reached 5,000 kilometers. With a few buffs, the range of his Defense Towers could exceed 10,000 kilometers. Therefore, he now sat alone in his villa, remotely controlling the land within a 10,000-kilometer radius around Qing City.

However, besides observing the monster tides, NPCs, and Super Bosses, Shen Fei’s most important focus was on something else entirely: the version update.

That’s right—Version 4.5 had already been updated. At this moment, most of his mental energy was focused on waiting for the so-called version update to arrive on this special day of the fourth ability inheritance. Ability inheritance days were times of rule eruptions and major transformations, making them the most likely time for a version update to occur.

Shen Fei judged that tonight, even with the accelerated update schedule, if Version 4.6 didn’t arrive, then Versions 4.4 and 4.5 would most likely receive another wave of updates. Excluding the versions that were already fully implemented, there was a high probability that 4.4 and 4.5 would be updated.

What Shen Fei cared about was when this update would happen and what form it would take. With his Combat Power, monster tides were nothing to worry about. He was more concerned with the version update rules, which defied all logic.

Turning his head, Shen Fei glanced at the corner of the villa. The Black Spade A had solidified once again during this fourth game ability inheritance, meaning he could harvest another batch of the bug-creating cards. He, too, was waiting for the version update that was highly likely to arrive.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

While waiting, Shen Fei continued to control his Defense Towers, managing the monster tide around Qing City. At the same time, he prepared to assist other Neutral Cities with their own monster tides at a moment’s notice.

"Hurry!" a voice demanded. "What’s the status of our intelligence gathering? Tonight, human players will inherit game abilities again! Have you interrogated those captured human players for information yet? Do we have any conclusions about the situation in Great Xia and this so-called Brother Kaipan!?"

While Shen Fei remained in his villa, fully absorbed in his remote surveillance, powerful Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses were handling matters on an ocean hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, within a special region of the Pacific Ocean.

「Three days ago.」

The strongest ancient emperor from the western sector of the ocean’s special region had vanished without a trace, along with all his underlings, after invading Great Xia’s Songhai City. This event thoroughly spooked the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses, nearly all of whom were rushing toward Great Xia for the Heroic Mark.

Faced with the mysterious death of an ancient emperor who was no weaker than them, they immediately halted their advance and retreated deep into the special region. The Heroic Mark, an item that could grant them an innately invincible position, was extremely important.
