Chapter 499 - 194: Leveling Up to 150, Incredibly Powerful New Gains

Under his powerful attacks, they were all reduced to ash.

A moment ago, some Intelligent NPCs had even shouted after recognizing "Tang San." Now, remotely controlled attacks rained down endlessly. The Super NPCs and bosses, annihilated along with their cities, couldn’t even see their attacker...

[Ding!]

[Acquired...]

[Acquired...]

[Acquired....]

Standing quietly in a small, snow-covered valley, Shen Fei watched the text on his personal panel scroll by rapidly. This wave of remote city destruction had yielded immense rewards!

Amidst the flood of reward notifications, Shen Fei also saw that his mandatory quest completion counter was rising quickly.

[Quest Completion Count: 30/50]

[Quest Completion Count: 40/50]

[Quest Completion Count: 45/50]

[Quest Completion Count: 47/50]

[Quest Completion Count: 48/50]

As Shen Fei watched, Neutral Cities were swiftly eliminated one after another, and his mandatory quest drew closer to completion.

Hm? So impressive? It can block my Defense Tower’s Cluster Attack? Is this last large city a special one? Does it have a special ability?

When his quest completion count reached 49, to Shen Fei’s surprise, the final large Neutral City actually managed to block the Cluster Attack he had launched from 500 Defense Towers.

As the attack neared, the city suddenly flashed, and a massive Aura, resembling a diagram of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, emerged from the city’s outline. It solidified above the city, blocking the Defense Towers’ Cluster Attack.

The sight startled Shen Fei. Although the Cluster Attack from the 500 Defense Towers hadn’t activated any Auras, Bond effects, or Gemstone effects, the attack was still incredibly powerful. He never imagined his ever-victorious Cluster Attack could be blocked.

Moreover, as the giant Eight Trigrams Defense Array blocked the attack, the silhouette of a massive Snow Ape materialized on the city walls. Countless NPCs and bosses from the cities Shen Fei had destroyed erupted in deafening cheers when they saw the colossal Snow Ape raise its hands high, holding the "Eight Trigrams Defense Array" overhead in defense.

Unfortunately, their cheers didn’t last long. The great Eight Trigrams array, which had appeared from thin air and seemed unstoppable, suddenly shattered. Then, everything, including the Snow Ape and the city, dissipated. A vast pit of Deep Space appeared where it had been...

WHOOSH!

The most powerful Neutral City and Super Boss in this special region were annihilated in an instant. The NPCs and bosses who witnessed this panicked and immediately scattered to flee...

If once isn’t enough, I’ll do it twice!

In the small valley, upon discovering that a Neutral City had blocked his Cluster Attack, Shen Fei immediately activated the effects of 500 Gemstones, empowering his Defense Towers before firing again. Then, just as he expected, the final Neutral City was dealt with easily...

[Ding!]

[Quest Completion Count: 50/50]

[Mandatory Quest Complete!]

As Shen Fei watched, the text on his quest panel refreshed. The countdown timer, which had only about ten minutes left, finally stopped. The mandatory quest, which would have resulted in his obliteration upon failure, now displayed a [Complete] status...

No reward? Lame!

The quest that had been suddenly forced upon him—with its tight deadline and severe penalty—was finally complete. Shen Fei hadn’t expected there to be no reward at all for completing this quest! This left Shen Fei speechless.

At this point, since he had openly destroyed the cities throughout the entire special region to complete his quest, the whole area was in an uproar! His plan to explore this special region for its ultimate purpose was now impossible.

Well, only three Neutral Cities left! Might as well take them out in one go!

Seeing that the mandatory quest was finally over and noticing the three remaining Neutral Cities in this special region marked on his minimap, Shen Fei didn’t hesitate. He launched three consecutive attacks, wiping out those three Neutral Cities as well.

Since I’ve already destroyed so many cities, I might as well be thorough and wipe out every last city in this snow-covered region. Nice and clean!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

With three thunderous booms, every Neutral City in the snow-covered special region was annihilated.

SWOOSH!

Using his Detection Tower, Shen Fei saw that the countless surviving NPCs and bosses, after witnessing the destruction of even the final three Neutral Cities, were instinctively gathering together, as if trying to huddle for comfort. Moreover, once gathered, these terrified NPCs and bosses were all gesticulating wildly in panic...

Through the Detection Tower, he watched these NPCs and bosses gather and frantically talk amongst themselves. Logically, this was exactly the opportunity Shen Fei had been looking for. He could secretly eavesdrop on their conversation and perhaps learn the ultimate secret of this special region...

Unfortunately, he couldn’t pursue them just yet. His personal panel had changed again!

After frantically completing the mandatory city-destruction quest, for the sake of being thorough, he had also wiped out the last three remaining Neutral Cities in the region. He hadn’t expected that because of this action, he would once again reap a wave of experience and item rewards. And this influx of experience directly boosted his level all the way to 150! Upon reaching this major level milestone, his panel was flooded with another wave of notifications...

[Ding!]

[Gained EXP +100,000,000]

[Ding!]

[Level reached 150!]

[Ding!]

[Combat Power bonus from level increased to 150%!]

[Ding!]

[Gained 70 Defense Tower slots]

[Ding!]

[Achievement Unlocked: City Destroyer!]

As Shen Fei watched, a series of notifications scrolled by as his level rose to 150.

[Ding!]

[Gained Skill Slot x1!]

[Ding!]

[Gained Equipment Slot x1!]

[Ding!]

[Bloodline-related patch updated. After reaching Level 150, you can condense 1 Bloodline Condensation Point!]

Shen Fei never expected that leveling up to 150 would grant him so many rewards at once. In this special region, he had destroyed over fifty Neutral Cities in one fell swoop. In the process, he had also incidentally killed countless experience-granting Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses. In the end, Shen Fei’s level had risen to 150.

As he expected, his level-up increased the base Combat Power bonus for his Defense Towers to 150%. What really excited him was that this level-up had granted him 70 Defense Tower slots in one go. This brought his maximum tower count directly to 700. Although he only possessed 612 Defense Towers and could currently only summon a maximum of 500 at a time, the sudden increase in his tower limit still massively boosted Shen Fei’s foundation.

Now that version 4.7 was out, all of Shen Fei’s items could be upgraded further. Moreover, there was also the Heaven-Reaching Tower, a place that specifically dropped materials for Tower Masters. He was confident he would be able to use the new Defense Tower slots very soon! These new Defense Tower slots were absolutely essential!

After reaching level 150, besides the new Defense Tower slots, Shen Fei saw that he had also obtained an achievement title called [City Destroyer].

[City Destroyer: When attacking a Neutral City, Comprehensive Combat Power is increased by 20%!]

Equipping this title would allow Shen Fei to destroy Neutral Cities even faster.

Not bad! Not bad at all!

He nodded, pleased to see that he now had two achievement titles. Shen Fei continued to read the notifications. He saw that this level 150 upgrade had also granted him a skill slot and an equipment slot.

Shen Fei had obtained a skill slot before. He had even used that skill slot to learn the "Disguise Technique" he was currently using. And looking at the new equipment slot, Shen Fei discovered that he could now wear one more piece of equipment. This... This was perfect!

What are Bloodline Condensation Points? I have no idea...

At the end of the rewards, Shen Fei glanced again at the new Bloodline Condensation Points from reaching level 150, something he had never even heard of. Unfortunately, even after searching through the memories of his past and present lives, he couldn’t figure out how to use it...

Time to check out the other stuff!

After reviewing the massive haul of rewards from reaching level 150, Shen Fei opened his inventory again. After wiping out fifty cities in one go, his inventory was now stuffed with a huge pile of items like City Energy and Hearts of the City.
