Chapter 454 - 182: Maxing Out the Secret Realm, the Fourth Game Ability Inheritance Has Arrived

"Holy crap!"

Looking at the Attributes of the three reward items, even Shen Fei, who was used to seeing good things, couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.

Whether a Secret Realm was good, popular, and universally liked depended on more than just its Combat Power requirements. The most important factor was its drops. If its drops were excellent and needed by everyone, then that Secret Realm, no matter how treacherous its location or how high its Combat Power requirement, would be eagerly sought after by all.

Besides the Secret Realms that were universally popular, the next tier consisted of specialized Secret Realms—ones that produced unique items useful to specific groups of people and certain species. For example, the special Secret Realm in Qing City—the Heaven-Reaching Tower—was exactly this type of specialized Secret Realm, one particularly beneficial to Tower Masters.

Now, looking at the reward items for clearing the [Lin’an City] Secret Realm, Shen Fei could finally rest easy about this Secret Realm that belonged to him and him alone. It didn’t matter how difficult this Secret Realm was. As long as the items it dropped were especially useful, it was guaranteed to be sought after by the masses.

Clearly, since it could drop something like the [Source of the Python], an item obviously very useful for snake-type NPCs, Super Bosses, and snake pets, Shen Fei’s [Lin’an City] was a specialized Secret Realm that was bound to be a huge hit.

WHOOSH.

As he gazed at the twenty newly acquired, Crystal-like [Source of the Python] in his hand, Shen Fei immediately thought of where he would test these new items. One place, of course, was on his Beauty Snake—the one he controlled with the Mind Control Tower, which was now completely obedient to him. The other was to list one on the [Ninth World] to see how high the final auction price would go. After all, the [Ninth World] was currently connected to quite a few Super Bosses from special regions who possessed a snake bloodline.

"Not bad!" Nodding, Shen Fei turned his gaze to the second item: Xu Xian’s Flesh. Shen Fei had, of course, heard of Tang Monk’s Flesh, but this was the first time he had ever heard of the so-called "Xu Xian’s Flesh."

However, No matter what kind of ’flesh’ this is, as long as its effect is powerful, it’s good flesh!

Looking at the "Xu Xian’s Flesh" in his hand, which looked like a piece of dried apricot, Shen Fei nodded again and again. Originally, because his [Lin’an City] Secret Realm had a very high Combat Power requirement, the pool of people who could enter it was definitely small. But upon seeing [Xu Xian’s Flesh], an item that could instantly increase a user’s Combat Power a hundredfold with no time limit, Shen Fei realized that with it, the number of people able to enter the [Lin’an City] Secret Realm to fight monsters would increase by more than a thousand times.

If it could be used in any scenario, this item would be simply Invincible... A sense of anticipation rose in Shen Fei’s heart as he looked at the [Xu Xian’s Flesh] in his hand.

The effect of Xu Xian’s Flesh was to increase Comprehensive Combat Power by a hundredfold without restriction, meaning that personal Cultivation, items, Accessories, equipment, skill effects, and so on, would all be boosted a hundredfold. An item like that was simply Invincible.

The only pity was that this item was restricted to use only within this Secret Realm. Moreover, the effect vanished upon exiting the Secret Realm, and one would have to use it again upon re-entry to get the buff. To this, Shen Fei could only say it was a shame.

However, he possessed the Bug Maker Black Spade A, and he also knew that Secret Realms could be upgraded by Devouring things like Secret Realm Fragments. Once the Secret Realm leveled up, its overall potential would increase, and it might even start dropping better items. Therefore, while he was disappointed that [Xu Xian’s Flesh], which could boost Comprehensive Combat Power a hundredfold, could only be used inside the Secret Realm, Shen Fei still held some expectations for the future.

Perhaps, in some special future, this [Xu Xian’s Flesh] could be used anywhere.

WHOOSH.

After examining the [Source of the Python] and [Xu Xian’s Flesh], Shen Fei turned his gaze to the last item that had dropped: the Snake Copulation Technique.

"What the fuck! Are you for real?"

Seeing that the item named [Snake Copulation Technique] was a Skill Book, and that it was even displayed as a learnable skill, Shen Fei could only marvel. This thing was fucking insane. Obviously, the source of this item was none other than that Xu Xian, the one trapped beneath Jinshan Temple, whose blood was being fed to the snakes.

"Incredible!"

At least for now, I’m not going to waste a precious skill slot on learning this thing! Looking at the new Skill Book in his hand, Shen Fei made his decision, a peculiar expression on his face.

This thing... it’s probably for mastering a certain position, and the additional ability is to... uh... do it... with snakes. But since it’s displayed as a skill and takes up a skill slot, then aside from the most basic function, it should have other skill effects too.

But Shen Fei still had no desire to use his one remaining skill slot to learn this thing for now.

WHOOSH.

Having examined the three items he was rewarded with for achieving 100% Detection in the Secret Realm, Shen Fei quickly put everything back into his inventory.

This Secret Realm doesn’t even give experience. It just pays out the rewards directly once Detection hits 100%! And the reward multiplier is based on how long it takes to clear it! I just hit 100% Detection and cleared the Secret Realm in under an hour! That’s why I got a tenfold bonus on my rewards!

He glanced around the Secret Realm, at the Lake Heart Island and the Jinshan Temple on top of it, now all but reduced to ruins, and then at the panicked commoners of the Ancient City in the distance.
