Chapter 504 - 196: Steamrolling the Special Areas

It was during the lull between the fourth and fifth game ability inheritances that he had specifically left Qing City, venturing into a Special Region to deal with matters there. But he hadn’t expected his initial foray to go so poorly. On his first attempt, he failed to uncover the secrets he was after.

Faced with this situation, Shen Fei immediately changed his objective. He knew there was a problem with the Special Regions; he had discovered that their secrets were automatically censored; and just a moment ago, he had cleared and uprooted a Special Region without much effort. Furthermore, after uprooting the Special Region, he had even obtained experience, Hearts of the City, City Energy, and other rare items.

Shen Fei’s goal shifted directly to uprooting the Special Regions! This "cancer"!

If I can’t probe their secrets, I’ll just uproot them entirely. I happen to have time right now, so I’ll get rid of them quickly. Since you have ultimate secrets that are automatically censored, I’ll just uproot the entire Special Region along with them. Let’s see how you hide your secrets then! I’ll eradicate every Special Region within Great Xia!

After teleporting to the entrance of a new Special Region, Shen Fei instantly made his decision.

Blue Star was rapidly expanding, with the largest increases in area occurring along national borders. Because of this, and with the [Forum] having blocked communication between countries, each nation had become more like an isolated, self-contained island. Therefore, what Shen Fei could do for now was to first uproot all the Special Regions within Great Xia.

Currently, according to the information gathered by the various Tourism Management Offices and settlement players, there were hundreds of known Special Regions throughout Great Xia. And those were just the ones that had been detected. Who knew how many more remained undiscovered...

"Yu! Post a bounty on the [Forum]! Have everyone start searching for hidden Special Regions! A reward of 100 million Credit Points for every Special Region found! Just the location is enough, no need to explore inside! And be quick about it!"

Having made his new decision, Shen Fei immediately contacted Sun Yu and laid out his requirements. His own time, of course, would be spent clearing and uprooting the Special Regions. The task of finding more—ideally, all—of the Special Regions in Great Xia would naturally fall to others!

"Ah!! Bro?? You can communicate from over there? I was just about to try and contact you through the [Ninth World]!"

Sun Yu, who was coordinating things for Shen Fei in Qing City, was surprised to receive a direct message from his big bro, Shen Fei.

"Yeah, it’s working for now! I’m uprooting Special Regions! Inform the Tourism Management Office headquarters about this! Cooperate closely with them!

"Also, I can build Neutral Cities. You can discuss with the people at the Tourism Management Office headquarters where to build them!"

After giving Sun Yu his instructions, Shen Fei quickly began arranging matters. There were hundreds of Special Regions in Great Xia. In the five or six days before the fifth game ability inheritance, he might not be able to finish them all. Besides, he still had to go to the largest Special Region on the entire planet, one bigger than the Eurasian Continent—the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, he had no time for these miscellaneous tasks.

"Huh??"

Shen Fei’s words left Sun Yu stunned.

Big bro can build cities? Build Neutral Cities? Weren’t the channels for acquiring Neutral Cities removed after version 4.3? Big bro really is incredible!

Receiving Shen Fei’s message, Sun Yu was filled with questions. Unfortunately, Shen Fei didn’t have time to explain further. After quickly arranging things, he immediately summoned his Defense Towers to attack, piercing the Shield of the second Special Region.

First, destroy the cities! Then, eavesdrop on their conversations! If I don’t get any information after three minutes of listening, I’ll annihilate all these Intelligent NPCs and the Special Region’s Super Bosses!

Upon entering the second Special Region, Shen Fei’s mind instantly went over his planned course of action.

WHOOSH—

Having made his decision, Shen Fei didn’t wait. He immediately summoned a Detection Tower and began to scan this second Special Region. A little over ten minutes later, he got a clear picture. This second Special Region was roughly over eight thousand kilometers in both length and width. It was a world covered in yellow sand, occasionally dotted with oases.

Shen Fei recalled that before the apocalypse, the Sahara Desert on Blue Star, the largest desert, was only a little over a thousand kilometers wide and three to four thousand kilometers long. But now, with the arrival of the apocalypse, this Special Region of endless yellow sand he had come to, which was considered small and didn’t even rank in size within Great Xia, was hundreds of times the area of the Sahara Desert...

"Here we go!"

Having determined the size of this Special Region’s world, spotted the 41 earth-toned Neutral Cities within, and seen the robe-wearing NPCs and the Scorpion- and sand-worm-like Super Bosses living there, Shen Fei, without a second thought, launched a Cluster Attack with his Defense Towers. Just like in the previous ice world, most of the intelligent beings in this desert world were farming experience near Special Secret Realms.

BOOM!

Shen Fei’s first wave of Cluster Attacks from his Defense Towers effortlessly annihilated a Neutral City.

"Continue!"

Seeing his experience instantly surge and items like the Heart of the City appear in his inventory, Shen Fei didn’t wait. He continued to unleash his Invincible attacks to wipe them out...

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Under Shen Fei’s focused and relentless assault, three hours later, all 41 Neutral Cities in this desert Special Region, regardless of size, had been destroyed. And in his inventory, he had obtained, as expected, over seventy Hearts of the City, along with a significant amount of City Energy and Energy Crystals. At the same time, his level had shot up to 153.

Still being censored!

"Die!!"

With all the cities destroyed, the remaining Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses in this second Special Region flew into a panic, just as before. They too, panicked and tense, discussed many things. Unfortunately, as Shen Fei eavesdropped, he saw that the information he wanted was still being censored. Without a second’s hesitation, he once again unleashed a powerful attack from his Defense Towers, quickly eliminating the remaining Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses.

Five minutes later, Shen Fei’s level increased by 1 again.

Then, without any hesitation, after uprooting all the intelligent life and Neutral Cities in the second Special Region, Shen Fei’s next task was to shatter this Special Region’s Shield.

CRACK!

Soon, under Shen Fei’s Invincible Attack Power, the Shield of the second Special Region vanished without a trace. Although the Shields of each Special Region would quickly replenish and repair themselves after taking damage, there was a limit. Against Shen Fei’s Invincible Attack Power, the Shield simply couldn’t repair fast enough. In the end, it was obliterated, with not even a speck of dust left behind.

Straight to the Divine Capital!

Having quickly cleared another Special Region, Shen Fei ignored the violent collision between the desert world and its surrounding environment as the Shield disappeared. With a flicker, his figure appeared in Yang City within Qing City. A second later, he was standing on the walls of the Divine Capital. After that, he activated his Teleportation Gate Tower and began moving rapidly toward the northern part of Great Xia.

The first and second Special Regions he had just destroyed were both near Qing City, which he had reached quickly using the Teleportation Gate. But after uprooting these two, the remaining ones were a bit far, and using the Teleportation Gate to reach them would be a waste of time. What Shen Fei was doing now was teleporting directly to the Great Xia Divine Capital, then using a Teleportation Gate to reach the northernmost part of Great Xia, intending to sweep through the entire territory of Great Xia from north to south. To get to the north, going from the Divine Capital was undoubtedly the fastest way.

WHOOSH—

In a blur, Shen Fei left the Divine Capital’s territory, teleporting away at high speed. He had no idea that his brief appearance in the Divine Capital had caused such a massive uproar and panic.
