Chapter 163: Chapter 112: The Divine Artifact Reappears, Unexpected News
Shen Fei saw that Qing City’s ranking was back in first place. Although the city they had targeted was, on the surface, the weakest of the small Neutral Cities, Qing City was still the fastest to conquer it.
From the perspective of how quickly they succeeded, Qing City’s number-one rank was perfectly justified.
"I’m telling you, it’s only been seven hours since the Neutral Cities appeared, and there are still two and a half days before they vanish. What do you all think, will Qing City try to attack another one?"
Scrolling through the Forum, Shen Fei saw a recent, trending topic.
"I don’t know, but I was wrong! I want to apologize for my previous behavior!"
"I don’t know, but I was wrong! I want to apologize for my previous complaints!"
"I don’t know, but I was wrong! I want to apologize for my previous words!"
"I’m going to be a fan of Cyan God again!"
"I’m going to be a fan of Cyan God again!"
"I’m going to be a fan of Cyan God again!"
Among the replies to the post, the most-liked ones weren’t answers, but rather all sorts of comments about becoming fans again.
According to the calculations of some analytical experts, Qing City’s successful capture of a city was, in all likelihood, the work of Cyan God alone. This was because the experts from the Qing City Tourism Management Office were mostly busy defending against the monster tide that had suddenly erupted in their city.
Earlier, some people had kicked them while they were down, mocking how Qing City had been struck by a monster tide during the crucial period of competing for Neutral Cities. Qing City’s luck was just unparalleled!
But what these people didn’t expect was that even with the monster tide, Qing City was still the first to capture a city.
The fact that the members of the Qing City Tourism Management Office were defending against the monster tide was being live-streamed on the Forum. Since those experts couldn’t have possibly made a move, after a little thought, everyone realized that Qing City’s capture of the Neutral City was the work of the legendary Cyan God.
As a result, the countless people who had renounced their fandom all came flocking back. Fans are like that—incredibly fickle. One moment they go from casual observer to devoted fan, the next they go from fan to bitter hater!
"Bullshit Immortal Emperor, completely overestimating himself!"
"Some Immortal Emperor! He got his Shield broken and his walls shattered by monsters!"
"Right? Did he really think he could just take a large city whenever he felt like it? He should have taken a hard look at his own capabilities!"
Within the thread, many people also began to slander Immortal Emperor Zhao Li.
The Immortal Emperor had successfully led his people to shatter the Heart of the City of the Neutral City they were attacking, completing the first phase. But during the second phase, when faced with attackers swarming from all directions, the Immortal Emperor couldn’t hold on. Plus, the attacking NPCs from a large city were strong to begin with. The walls of the city the Immortal Emperor was defending had already been shattered, and even forty percent of the city’s interior was destroyed.
"Tower Masters are insane!"
"Why are Tower Masters so insane?!"
"This is basically cheating!!"
Unlike the Immortal Emperor, the thread about Huang Yi, who was ranked second, was filled with compliments.
In the medium-sized city being captured by the Divine Capital’s Tourism Management Office headquarters, they hadn’t killed many bosses yet. But with the help of Huang Yi’s fifty Defense Towers, they were still holding back the monster tide’s assault, and the city walls surprisingly still had over half their health. This shocked everyone.
Did he use a National Treasure Divine Artifact?
Shen Fei, who had experienced the power of a monster tide’s attack, knew it should have been impossible for the walls to have so much health left, especially since most of Huang Yi’s Defense Towers were only Ninth Tier. He instantly figured out the reason.
Huang Yi only has fifty Defense Towers left to place. He must have wasted so many by placing them elsewhere before this! In such an important Neutral City battle, a man with a full count of 512 Defense Towers has only deployed fifty. It’s obvious his other towers were already placed somewhere else and couldn’t be moved for this crucial fight.
FLAP. FLAP. FLAP.
He was about to check on the other city battles that surprisingly hadn’t failed yet when, suddenly, a Golden Celestial Horse rushed toward him, flapping its wings.
WHOOSH!
The 200 automated Defense Towers instantly activated, about to shoot down the Golden Celestial Horse. But when they detected that the person on the Celestial Horse was not a hostile target, the activated towers instantly powered down.
"Bro!!"
"You’re so awesome!!"
The Golden Celestial Horse flew beside Shen Fei, and two radiant, energetic young women jumped off. It was his little sister, Shen Yue, and her best friend, Xiaohong, who had found him by riding the Celestial Horse.
Previously, Shen Yue had been clamoring to participate in the Neutral City battle, and Father Shen had even given her and Xiaohong each a [Soldier] chess piece for it. But when the Heaven-Reaching Tower’s monster tide erupted, Shen Fei arranged for Father Shen and the others to return to Qing City. Afterwards, Father Shen sent Shen Yue and Xiaohong back to the villa on the Golden Celestial Horse.
Now that the battle was over, Shen Yue learned of Shen Fei’s ultimate achievement through the Forum posts and from Sun Yu. With her eyes shining, she dragged Xiaohong over to find him.
Earlier, when people on the internet were slandering Cyan God, she and Xiaohong had been all over the web posting rebuttals. But they were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of opponents.
Now, knowing the final result, the two of them were bursting with joy.
"Bro!! You’re so awesome!!"
"This is so gratifying!!!"
"AHHHH!!!"
Frustrated all night and flamed online by countless people, Shen Yue excitedly threw her arms around her brother.
"Alright, alright!" Patting his excited sister on the back of the head, Shen Fei told her to calm down.
My family’s happiness and well-being are what I strive for.
Wriggling free from his sister’s hug, Shen Fei asked, "Where’s Mom?"
"She’s still arranging things in the villa district. Mom didn’t sleep a wink last night either, but now, she’s super excited!"
