Chapter 477 - 186: A "Blessing" from the Starry Sky, a Sudden Update to Version 4.7

"This can’t be kept secret!" Huang Yi said before hanging up. "For safety’s sake, we might have to do this..." He was referring to a potential move the Tourism Management Office headquarters was considering.

Huang Yi explained that to placate the survivors, once news of Mars’s explosion broke on the Forum, the Tourism Management Office headquarters would guide public speculation toward the idea that Shen Fei had been the one to blow it up. Hearing this, Shen Fei’s mind went a little numb.

But... I really *did* blow it up!!

Speechless, Shen Fei nodded in agreement and then ended his communication with Huang Yi.

...

"Holy shit!! This is a world-shattering secret!!"

"Mars exploded!!"

"It’s turned into this strange cloud of interstellar dust glowing with multicolored light!"

Just as Huang Yi had predicted, related posts erupted on the Forum not long after Shen Fei hung up. Posts on this Forum couldn’t be deleted, so a lot of information was impossible to hide. Soon, as all sorts of pictures were released, the hot topic across the entire Forum shifted to discussing the exploded Mars.

Just like Huang Yi and the others, everyone was stunned the moment they heard Mars had exploded. Planets can just explode? Then what will happen to Blue Star beneath our feet? If Blue Star is eventually going to explode too, what’s the point of all our hard work? We might as well just lie down and give up. Why bother fighting monsters so hard?

"Announcement!"

"Please do not panic!"

"An Announcement Regarding the Explosion of Mars!"

As Shen Fei watched, a high-ranking member of the Divine Capital Tourism Management Office quickly made a post on the Forum to calm everyone down. Seeing the content of the post, Shen Fei couldn’t help but wear a strange expression as he replied, "Everyone, don’t worry."

His reply was instantly pinned by the original poster. The terrified players immediately erupted into cheers.

Shen Fei’s reputation among the players was already sufficiently high. Following his reply, surprisingly, no one doubted that he was the one who did it. It was as if, given his power, blowing up a planet was the most normal thing in the world.

"Big Bro!!"

Not long after Shen Fei replied to the post, Sun Yu, entrusted by the people of Qing City, came looking for him in a hurry. He wanted to ask on everyone’s behalf just what was going on with Mars.

Unfortunately, Shen Fei’s thoughts had already drifted to Deep Space, and he had no intention of answering. I can’t tell him that I was testing the power of my Defense Tower and ended up blowing up Mars...

That was impossible to say!

WHOOSH.

His mind drifting to Deep Space, Shen Fei applied all his range-boosting skills and Auras to his Detection Tower.

The explosion of Mars made him want to look up at the moon. He planned to use his Detection Tower, but there was a problem. The tower’s base range was 10,000 kilometers, while the moon was 360,000 kilometers away from Blue Star. Even with his own skills and boosting Auras, he could only increase the range to over 200,000 kilometers. To bridge the gap, he’d need some buffs from other members of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Extending his vision to the moon would be no problem then.

"Hm?"

Shen Fei had just realized his own skills weren’t enough and was about to head back to Qing City to ask the Heaven-Reaching Tower members for help. Suddenly, his pupils widened, and he involuntarily jumped.

"FUCK!!!!"

His personal panel had unexpectedly opened, scrolling with lines of text:
