Chapter 260: Chapter 147: Two Days Later, the Secret Realm Opens, Everyone Enters
Not wanting Shen Fei to know the details about Number 5, Zero asked her most pressing question.
"What do you think?"
Then she heard Shen Fei’s counter-question.
"I’m guessing you’ll go..."
"That’s right!"
Back in Qing City, after teasing Zero for a moment, Shen Fei—who still needed her help with something—quickly changed his tone.
"So, uh... I have a situation here. Think you can help?"
Shen Fei quickly explained how Yu had racked up a 30,000,000 debt on the Forum.
Then, he heard Zero’s negative, head-shaking reply.
Just a moment ago, with the release of the version 4.4 update, Zero sensed her administrative permissions for the Forum had once again been drastically reduced. In that same moment, she realized she could no longer ban anyone’s account, let alone alter the Forum’s automated accounting rules.
Furthermore, she could feel her permissions dwindling at an accelerated rate. In a week at most, all her permissions on the new Forum would vanish without a trace. The new Forum would be completely governed by the system’s rules.
"Alright..." Hearing Zero’s refusal, Shen Fei could only shake his head.
Since the 30,000,000 debt can’t be wiped clean, it looks like Yu will have to keep taking bets. I don’t know how much he’ll make, but he has to at least clear that 30,000,000 debt...
"Oh, right! Want to team up?"
He had already gathered that Zero was also going to participate and would be going all out in the Secret Realm. On a whim, Shen Fei posed the same question many others had just asked him.
"No! No! No! No!!!"
Hearing Shen Fei’s invitation to team up, Zero immediately refused, waving her hands frantically like a fan.
She was unable to stop Shen Fei from participating and worried he would discover her secret. All she wanted now was to stay as far away from him as possible.
Team up? Team up my ass! No way in hell!
I hope the participants in that arena tournament are separated...
After ending the call with Shen Fei, a prayer formed in Zero’s mind.
He dealt with all the incoming calls and confirmed that Zhao Li, Huang Yi, Zero, and the others would all be participating with their full strength. The promise of memory erasure within the Secret Realm, combined with the incredibly amazing reward items, had fired everyone up, including Shen Fei himself.
SHIMMER.
He activated the Teleportation Gate Tower, teleporting himself back to his villa. As he did, Shen Fei began to consider how he should prepare. He needed to figure out his combat strategy for the Secret Realm.
CLANG!
He strode through the door and glanced at the Black Spade A in the corner of the hall, which had turned translucent again. Shen Fei threw himself onto the sofa, sinking comfortably into its cushions, and began to assess his situation.
The [Array] that I got a one-time activation for due to a bug is now unusable again! So, the number of Defense Towers I can place in the Secret Realm is back down to 100!
The first thing Shen Fei took stock of was his Defense Towers. The [Array Plate], which allowed him to control 500 Defense Towers, had reverted to its unusable state. He could no longer unleash that colorless, odorless, and silent converged attack from 500 Defense Towers. The only good news was that, after its one-time use, the [Array] had moved the previously immovable Defense Towers from the walls of [Yang City] back into his inventory.
Then again, maybe not! It’s possible that in this Secret Realm, I’ll still be able to retrieve my Defense Towers after deploying them! After all, this Secret Realm allows for infinite respawns and even erases your memories of it! A setting that lets you recall deployed Defense Towers would be perfectly reasonable!
A new idea quickly surfaced in Shen Fei’s mind. After all, this was a brand-new Secret Realm that hadn’t existed in his past life. No one knew the specifics. Perhaps the restrictions on his Combat Power wouldn’t even exist in this Secret Realm.
Of course, even with that restriction, Shen Fei, capable of controlling 100 Defense Towers, was still Invincible. At the very least, the likes of Zhao Li, Huang Yi, Father Shen, and Wang Dapang wouldn’t be able to stand against him. Even if he could only use 100 Defense Towers, Shen Fei could easily fend them all off at once.
Besides the 100 Defense Towers! I also have my ten pieces of fully inherited, ultra-powerful Tower Master equipment!
After considering the Defense Towers, Shen Fei turned his attention to his second fully inherited asset: his Tower Master equipment.
His complete set of Tower Master equipment boosted his personal health to 500,000. Although the data integration from version 4.2 was not yet complete, this amount of health still represented a qualitative leap in his survivability. At the same time, the attributes provided by the full equipment set—such as range, Attack Power, and Attack Speed—had boosted his Defense Towers’ overall Combat Power by at least fivefold compared to when he had seized the Neutral City.
For one thing, thanks to his full set of Tower Master equipment, the shortest range among all his Defense Towers was now 500 kilometers. A range that long, before the planet’s expansion, could have reached Beijing or Songhai from Mount Tai.
Right now, without any buffs, Shen Fei’s Defense Tower Combat Power was Invincible. He even felt that he could withstand his father’s 64-stone Go Grand Array with just two or three counter-type Defense Towers.
SHIMMER.
With a thought, the complete ten-piece set of Tower Master equipment materialized on his body. Then, two other items appeared in his hands: the [Nine-Phase Divine Bottle] and the [Napoleon Knight’s Power].
Shen Fei didn’t know if National Treasure Divine Artifacts could be brought into the all-hands Secret Realm that was two days away. And if they could, whether they could be used in combat.
If the National Treasure Divine Artifacts—currently the only type of item that wasn’t immediately usable upon inheritance—could be used in the all-hands Secret Realm...
