Chapter 507 - 198: Hundreds of Neutral Cities Emerge Within Great Xia

"What the fuck?"

"A special area was wiped out?"

"Are they for real?"

"There’s a special area near our city. A lot of people have tried, but no matter how strong or weak their inherited Combat Power is, they can’t even break its Shield. And now someone’s already started destroying them?"

After the ultra-version text appeared again, Shen Fei decided to speed up his actions.

Meanwhile, on the Forum accessible to all players in Great Xia, a series of viral posts popped up. Originally, everyone’s attention had been focused on Ice City, the new Neutral City that appeared in the northeast of Great Xia. But to everyone’s surprise, just a few minutes later, another wave of text suddenly updated on their personal panels. Moreover, this time, it was for everyone; it was text that every single person in Great Xia could see.

With Version 4.7, players who hadn’t inherited any abilities before all received their personal panels. Now, the text that scrolled across the personal panels was also seen by these people who had just gotten their panels. The vast majority of people had only just received their panels, so this was the first time text had automatically appeared for them. They were incredibly excited and curious about it. Because of this, when they saw the text stating that an ultra-version event had been triggered because a special area was destroyed, everyone found it extremely novel and was immensely curious.

Under these circumstances, even the news about the sudden appearance of the Neutral City, Ice City, was completely overshadowed.

"Holy shit!"

"The strongest person in our city is a Cultivation player who inherited a Breaking Ban Talisman! We heard even he couldn’t get through the special area’s Shield..."

"How did someone just go and destroy a special area??"

"Unbelievable!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Holy crap! I just got a bounty quest to find the locations of unrecorded special areas! You think it’s related to this?"

"Whoa, I got a bounty quest too!"

"Me too!"

As new posts went viral, all sorts of information began to surface within them. More and more details about the special areas were being discussed. Some people talked about the unique scenery inside the special areas very close to their cities. Others mentioned the new quests they had received to find and mark more special area locations. Some even said that through the Shield, they had seen the figures of super-powerful NPCs and bosses inside the special areas. Furthermore, they speculated that the so-called destruction of the special area might have been an act by the NPCs and bosses living inside, trying to get out. For human players, the special areas were still too mysterious, and very few people had explored them so far.

"Hurry!"

"Mobilize everyone!"

"Mark the locations of all special areas!"

"At the same time, figure out the best place in Great Xia to establish a Neutral City and get me a proposal, now!"

Just like with the viral posts on the Forum, the various Tourism Management Offices were also in an uproar, buzzing with excitement and noisy chatter. These personnel, who knew the inside story, quickly began assigning people to scout for more unrecorded special area locations after receiving their orders.

Moreover, when they heard that they could also build a Neutral City locally, allowing everyone to gain its protection, all the settlements that didn’t have a Neutral City yet became ecstatic. Although, thanks to Shen Fei’s existence, the settlements were no longer as worried about the massive chaos caused by monsters from the random ability inheritances on that first night, everyone still wanted a Neutral City of their own. It was just like before the apocalypse when no one wanted to rent and everyone wanted to own their own home. After the apocalypse, possessing a Neutral City that belonged solely to their own city was a dream for many.

However, with the full update of Version 4.3, the idea of getting more Neutral Cities had become completely impossible. This had forced everyone to completely give up on that hope. But who would have thought that now, Shen Fei actually possessed the ability to build Neutral Cities. Moreover, he had already built a real, tangible Neutral City in the northeast—Ice City. This development made everyone incredibly excited. Everyone was waiting with excited anticipation for Shen Fei to come to their location.

With the appearance of the ultra-version notification, those who were uninformed were just joining the commotion on the Forum. Meanwhile, those who knew the inside story were split into two groups. One group was working hard to report information on special areas, while the other was busy planning and waiting, preparing to submit proposals for building a Neutral City near their own settlements. Many excited people had even started planning and scouting for potential locations to build their Neutral City.

All of Great Xia was thrown into a frenzy by the ultra-version text that had suddenly appeared on everyone’s personal panels.

On the other side, Shen Fei was rapidly using the Teleportation Gate Tower to move to yet another new location. He currently lacked the items to build a Teleportation Array, meaning even newly constructed Neutral Cities couldn’t have new arrays installed. To travel long distances, aside from the extremely precious [Long-range Teleportation], he could only use the Teleportation Gate Tower, which would make a person dizzy and disoriented after just ten consecutive Teleportations.

But under the current circumstances, Shen Fei had no other choice.
