Chapter 473 - 185: Everyone’s Morale Surges to Slay the Boss, an Anomaly Appears in the Solar System

Shen Fei winced involuntarily and slapped his forehead. He then very clearly asked Huang Yi to release a message to everyone else. The message was this: if a city could kill a monster tide’s boss on its own, the only emotions he would feel would be excitement and happiness. He wouldn’t have the slightest intention of kill-stealing or feeling possessive about it.

If Great Xia had more players who could resist the monster tides and slay their bosses, he would be incredibly happy and gratified. If all of Great Xia could fend off the monster tides and their bosses without him needing to intervene, then with his hands freed, he could accomplish much more. He really had no intention of competing with everyone for the [Bloodline Gemstone] dropped by a boss.

...

It turned out that just a moment ago, after Shen Fei had only greeted Zhao Li before leaving Songhai City without taking action, the city’s players had unleashed all their ultimate abilities and annihilated a boss. Although their Experience Bars were still locked, preventing the Songhai players from gaining experience from the kill as Shen Fei had, the full implementation of Version 4.2 meant they were able to completely obtain the [Bloodline Gemstone] that dropped when the boss died.

This [Bloodline Gemstone], dropped by the boss upon its death, instantly set the entire Forum and all of Great Xia ablaze. Previously, the fact that Shen Fei had killed a boss and obtained a [Bloodline Gemstone] was known only to a few relatively High-tier players in Great Xia. But just now, after the Songhai players killed the boss and its [Bloodline Gemstone] dropped, the item’s Attributes were seen by many players.

When someone posted the [Bloodline Gemstone]’s Attributes on the Forum, someone else immediately made an incredibly high offer of 500 million Credit Points to buy it. This instantly shocked the players scattered across the various Neutral Cities and settlements, who were still toiling away daily for a mere dozen or so Credit Points. And when everyone saw that the [Bloodline Gemstone], worth 500 million—or perhaps even more—was dropped by a monster tide’s boss, the players in every city where a boss had spawned erupted with excitement.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Capital, the outskirts of the current Fanghu Cave Heaven were being assaulted by over a dozen monster tides, which meant there were over a dozen bosses. Killing these bosses meant the creation of over a dozen items, each worth 500 million Credit Points. Spurred on by this colossal amount of Credit Points, all the players grew excited. Even some of the higher-ups at the Divine Capital’s Tourism Management Office headquarters became animated and approached Huang Yi, asking him to check with Shen Fei if the bosses in the Divine Capital could be left for its own people to kill.

"Of course they can!" Shen Fei said, nodding again with great certainty under Huang Yi’s extremely embarrassed gaze. "Absolutely!"

He couldn’t be happier that the players were willing to face the bosses head-on. The so-called 500 million Credit Points really weren’t that precious to him.

Following Huang Yi’s explanation, Shen Fei opened the Forum. He too saw the post offering 500 million Credit Points for a [Bloodline Gemstone]. Upon seeing this "wanted" post, he instantly determined that the poster was a player who had a connection to the [Ninth World]. The reason Shen Fei wasn’t too impressed by 500 million Credit Points was precisely because of the [Ninth World], which had by now become a massive platform. As the platform’s owner, he possessed the highest level of control over it, and because of it, the number of Credit Points in his possession was growing rapidly with every passing moment.

Compared to a [Bloodline Gemstone] worth 500 million Credit Points, he was much happier to let other players take the initiative to fight and slay the monster tide bosses. He was also more than happy to have other players sell High-tier items like the [Bloodline Gemstone] in order to diversify the sources of products on the [Ninth World].

With the [Ninth World], I’m really not short on money!

After telling Huang Yi his thoughts, he closed the Forum. With a flicker, Shen Fei’s form vanished.

WHOOSH.

He appeared on the walls of West-Townning City.

"Hm? Fine! Of course you can! Excellent!"

Upon appearing on the walls of West-Townning City, Shen Fei received a similar request: the players there also wanted to fight the monster tide’s boss themselves. To this, Shen Fei was incredibly pleased. Igniting the morale of all the players with a single [Bloodline Gemstone]—and saving himself from having to run all over the world—was a crucial development for him.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

Having confirmed the sentiments of the players in West-Townning City, Shen Fei could guess what the other Neutral Cities were thinking as well. He began teleporting rapidly to the other cities. After confirming that everyone wanted to try their hand at slaying the monster tide bosses, his rate of Teleportation became even faster.

After retrieving all the Defense Towers he had placed in other locations, Shen Fei stood once again on the walls of Yang City in Qing City and couldn’t help but reflect.

I never expected that a [Bloodline Gemstone], combined with the [Ninth World], could galvanize everyone’s fighting spirit to this extent.

Originally, his plan was to quickly slay all the monster tide bosses across Great Xia. Then, he would devote his full attention to preparing for the final major event. But he never expected that in the end, he wouldn’t even have to fight the monster tide bosses himself. And by the looks of it, he wouldn’t have to fight them in the future, either.

This is perfect!

If everyone can gain experience from killing the monster tide after the Version 4.7 update—and if they can gain that experience easily just by standing on the city walls in a defensive posture—then it looks like I won’t have to help defend against the monster tides anymore either.

Returning to Qing City and seeing how everyone wanted to proactively kill the bosses, Shen Fei...
