Chapter 587 - 227: Unexpectedly Huge Gains, Defense Tower Directly Upgraded to the Thirteenth Tier

[DING!]

[You have reached Level 200!]

[DING!]

[Skill learning restrictions unlocked!]

[DING!]

[Level-up Bonus: Comprehensive Combat Power increased by 1000%!]

[DING!]

[You have been randomly gifted a batch of designated items!]

[DING!]

[Defense Tower capacity has been expanded to 1,500!]

[DING!]

[The power of all learned skills has been increased by 1000%.]

[DING!]

[DING!]

[DING...]

Before Shen Fei even had a chance to observe his surroundings, a massive amount of text had already flooded his personal panel. The reason for this flood was that he had learned the historical truth of the Dinosaur Era, completing Mission One, which in turn raised his level to an unparalleled 200. Then, a huge wave of various rewards erupted.

After game abilities were inherited and the Experience Bar was unlocked, the starting level for all human players was 100. But now, Shen Fei’s level had doubled to 200. With such a massive lead, the rewards were also incredibly generous. Shen Fei saw that not only had his health, skills, and overall Comprehensive Combat Power received a major boost, but his buildable Defense Tower count had also shot straight up to 1,500.

[DING!]

[Mission Two Complete!]

[Reward: The Plant Crystal acquired in the Dinosaur Era can be brought into the present!]

Shen Fei had originally thought that this wave of rewards was all from reaching Level 200. He didn’t expect that after the Level 200 rewards finished scrolling across his personal panel, even more would continue to appear. Shen Fei saw that the Plant Crystal he had obtained back in the Dinosaur Era, after devouring the Level 1000 Great Thorns, had now appeared directly in his inventory. Previously, because he couldn’t use his inventory or various other abilities in the Dinosaur Era, he had been forced to leave the Plant Crystal behind in the Sorghum Field where he, Number 0, and Xiaohong had fought. Now, to his surprise, this very item had appeared directly in his inventory.

[DING!]

[Mission Three Complete!]

[Reward: You have inherited the [Devouring] skill from the Dinosaur Era!]

Before Shen Fei even had time to inspect the new [Plant Crystal], more text scrolled across his personal panel. He had actually inherited the temporary [Devouring] skill he’d gained in the Dinosaur Era.

"Holy crap!"

Recalling the [Devouring] skill’s invincible effect, Shen Fei’s heart leaped, and he immediately looked closer. He saw that the [Devouring] skill, identical to how it was in the Dinosaur Era and without the slightest reduction in power or any new restrictions, had appeared in his skill list.

So, in other words, as long as I activate this skill, any creature with a lower level than me will be instantly devoured the moment they touch me? And after [Devouring] a creature that touches me, I’ll also gain a burst of experience? And if I devour a unit of the same level as me, I can level up instantly?

The other rewards he’d received, while powerful, weren’t beyond Shen Fei’s expectations. But inheriting the [Devouring] skill from the Dinosaur Era... that suddenly had his blood pumping with excitement.

Right now, at a staggering Level 200, he was far ahead of every other person and creature on Blue Star. Whether they were human players, Intelligent NPCs, Super Bosses, or other units inherited from the game, none of them were a higher level than him. With this skill, he was practically unstoppable—nothing could stand in his way.

More importantly, he could activate this powerful [Devouring] skill at will. If he wanted [Devouring] to occur, he could turn the skill on instantly. And if he didn’t, he could just leave it off. This meant he now had a skill perfect for catching people off guard.

As a Tower Master, his own body was relatively weak compared to his Invincible Defense Towers. If someone managed to use a skill or item with long-range Teleportation to instantly appear and assassinate him, he would still be in considerable danger. However, now he had the [Devouring] skill. If anyone dared get close, if they so much as touched him, they’d just be serving themselves up on a platter, delivering a fresh batch of experience right to him.

"Now this is interesting!"

Standing on a vast, azure sea that filled his entire vision, Shen Fei watched the text scroll by in long strings on his personal panel. When all the notifications finally finished, he reviewed his haul, and a smile crept across his face.

This trip, though it had taken five or six days, had yielded absolutely immense rewards. Leaving aside all the other gains, the [Devouring] skill alone meant he no longer had to fear assassination, patching up his final weakness.

More importantly, through his journey to the Dinosaur Era, he had also accomplished his ultimate goal. He now knew the final objective of the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses who had immediately fled into special zones after being inherited from the game. He also knew what was going to happen in the unreleased Version 4.9 update.

Knowing in advance what the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses were aiming for, and knowing what was to come in Version 4.9, Shen Fei understood that he now had to prepare for these events.

Version 4.8 had just been updated. As long as he didn’t trigger any more version-breaking events, Version 4.8 would still receive a comprehensive update,
