Chapter 487 - 190: No. 0 Appears, Great Turmoil in the Special Area

Versions 4.6 and 4.7 updated simultaneously.

This came as a huge shock to Tang San. Two versions updating at once? This isn’t right!

Looking at No. 0 in front of him, Tang San could tell she was just as shocked by the two versions updating together.

A cross-version event from Deep Space?

He looked at the version update text that appeared on his panel just before the 4.6 update began. Tang San instinctively looked up at the sky. Unfortunately, he didn’t possess the Celestial Eye. His gaze couldn’t pierce the heavens, and he couldn’t possibly know that millions of kilometers away, a planet named Mars had just been obliterated in a single strike...

Version 4.6, Bloodline Activation? I can choose a bloodline and join the Divine Race?

Pondering the words from Deep Space, a confused Tang San turned his attention to the bloodline choice he had gained from the version 4.6 update. He knew that most of the Super Bosses inherited from the Game World possessed special, non-human bloodlines. These Super Bosses had one more way of increasing their strength than members of the Human Race—bloodline purification.

He had originally thought his bloodline was of the Human Race. Tang San never expected that after version 4.6, he would be able to choose to join the Divine Race.

Forget it... I’ve already decided to throw my lot in with the Human Race... I’ll stick with the Human Race! The memory of [Skyrocketing] is my greatest opportunity. I must keep my eyes on him!

Looking at the bloodline choices before him, Tang San quickly made his decision. He would stick with the Human Race.

Version 4.7 allows me to unlock a new path for enhancement besides Devouring my own ’kind’? I can level up to get stronger?!

After choosing the Human Race bloodline, Tang San’s attention quickly fell upon the new unlockable feature that had appeared with the version 4.7 update. He saw that intelligent beings like them, who could originally only improve their abilities by Devouring their own ’kind,’ could now, after version 4.7, unlock an Experience Bar. This would allow them to gain experience, raise their levels, and increase their Combat Power.

Seeing this, Tang San instantly panicked. He knew that the very moment version 4.7 went live, the special regions inhabited by the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses from the Game World would descend into chaos. Most of them would, without a doubt, choose to unlock the Experience Bar at the first possible moment.

Because of that, the previously peaceful special regions would be thrown into utter chaos as NPCs and bosses began hunting for experience. Wherever there was experience to be had, hordes of NPCs and bosses would instantly gather.

After all, for Intelligent NPCs like them inherited from the Game World, there had never been any other path to improvement besides Devouring their own ’kind.’ For them, devouring their own or being devoured by them was a matter of destiny.

Now that they could grow stronger by gaining experience, every single NPC and boss would be fighting for their lives. In the future battles to see who would devour whom, they would need every possible point of Combat Power to avoid being eaten. Therefore, they would absolutely and desperately scramble for any experience they could get...

The monsters in the special regions are in for it...

It went without saying. Tang San knew exactly who the targets of these crazed NPCs and bosses would be.

Just like the territories of the human players, the special regions not only had Neutral Cities and Secret Realms, but also countless monsters inherited from the game. What’s more, because the special regions were so much larger, the number of monsters there was even greater than in the lands of the human players...

FUCK! They’re not going to just enter a special Secret Realm, trigger a ten-thousand-fold manifestation, and farm the monsters that way, are they?!

In an instant, Tang San figured out the fastest method those NPCs and bosses would use to acquire massive amounts of experience. After all, hunting down scattered monsters would take time. But if they failed a special Secret Realm, the monsters from the ten-thousand-fold manifestation would appear right next to the realm itself. Farming them for experience that way would be far more convenient...

FUCK! After selecting the Experience Bar as his unlock for version 4.7, Tang San cried out internally. He knew. It was chaos. With the version 4.7 update, everything had suddenly descended into utter chaos. The special regions were about to erupt.

"If you NPCs and bosses kill each other, do you get experience?"

Just as Tang San was pondering how things would develop, No. 0, who had already sorted out her own version 4.6 and 4.7 matters, asked him directly.

Originally, No. 0 had learned about the Invincible Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses in the special regions thanks to the Great Chaos Secret Realm. With her memories intact, she had barged right into the special regions, planning to gather intelligence. The result? The more she investigated, the more worried she became. The deeper she delved, the more terrifying it all seemed.

The number of super-powerful NPCs and bosses in the special regions was simply staggering. According to the data No. 0 had gathered so far, these beings were at least ten thousand times more numerous than humans...

Moreover, the more she explored, the more No. 0 sensed that an even greater secret lay behind it all. Unfortunately, in the other special regions, whenever she tried to ask about this greater secret, any NPC or boss she captured would have their head explode. This had forced No. 0 to take Tang San and, after innumerable hardships, enter Blue Star’s largest special region—the Pacific Ocean.

Now, to No. 0’s relief, the fourth inheritance of game abilities had occurred.
