Chapter 604 - 234: The News Breaks Out! Everyone Is Stunned

WHOOSH!

Blue Star, Qing City.

A Floating Island, like an alien spaceship about 100 meters in diameter, shot across the sky and landed on the city walls of Yang City.

Shen Fei had no idea that the cluster attack he had test-fired earlier—the one from 1,400 Defense Towers in a special region of the Pacific Ocean—would ultimately travel thousands of light-years away. Moreover, it had been witnessed by a group of mysterious beings. He was even more unaware that far away in Deep Space, thousands of light-years from the sun, there existed a mysterious bubble...

At this moment, piloting the shrunken Floating Island, he finally landed on the city walls of Qing City. After being away from home for so long, he had finally returned.

As Shen Fei’s Floating Island descended, countless people from Qing City rushed toward him.

Although the sixth game ability inheritance had only just begun and there were all sorts of matters to handle. Furthermore, along with it, a massive monster tide had erupted once again. Qing City was currently organizing its people to defend against and slay the monster tide.

But even so, the moment they heard and saw Shen Fei return, a large number of people still came rushing over.

Shen Fei had been missing ever since the fifth game ability inheritance. After a week of waiting, everyone now had a mountain of things to report and discuss with him. This was especially true after Version 4.8 revealed that the human world was also a Game World, shattering many people’s beliefs and worldviews, leaving their psyches broken. This led many to either act erratically or simply give up and ignore everything.

Because of this, the higher-ups of Great Xia were all waiting for Shen Fei to arrive to discuss everything.

What’s more, with the recent sixth game ability inheritance, everyone had also discovered that countless NPCs and bosses had once again poured out of the passage that had opened in Blue Star’s atmosphere a week ago. Some had even drawn up plans to lead a team deep into the passage to scout the world within. This plan was just waiting for Shen Fei, the number one person in Great Xia, to give his approval.

In short, all sorts of matters had piled up, just waiting for Shen Fei to provide guidance. Now that he was back, even Huang Yi from the distant Divine Capital had come looking for him...

"Alright!" Shen Fei called out. "You two, leave first! Remember to ask Tang San about the memories of the NPCs and bosses. Also, ask them what plans they have after Version 4.9... if that information isn’t blocked, that is!"

Standing on the walls of Yang City, before he had even stepped off his Floating City, Shen Fei first dispatched Zero and Xiaohong. The two of them were of no use here. It was better to send them directly to the defector, Tang San, to confirm the other details Shen Fei wanted to know about the NPCs and bosses.

"Understood!"

"Right away!"

At Shen Fei’s command, Zero and Xiaohong nodded quickly. Soon, they left the Floating Island and headed toward the Shen Family’s Nanshan Villa.

He glanced over at the crowd of his people waiting for him, with Sun Yu at their head. After watching Zero and Xiaohong depart, Shen Fei didn’t hesitate and flew directly down from the Floating Island.

"Big Bro! You’re finally back!"

After giving the descending Shen Fei a big hug, Sun Yu immediately voiced what was on everyone’s mind.

Shen Fei was the current backbone of Great Xia’s players. Now that he was back, the spirits of the players, who had kept a low profile for a week, were instantly boosted immensely. Even the previously lifeless Forum instantly erupted with all sorts of excitement and cheers the moment someone started livestreaming Shen Fei’s return.

Shen Fei had now become their beacon of hope. The days without him had been stressful for everyone.

Now, Shen Fei was back, and the very heart and soul of all of Great Xia’s players had returned.

"We don’t need this many people!" Shen Fei said. "Just ten of you! I have to share the most important information first!"

Seeing the massive crowd surrounding him layer upon layer, all watching his return from a distance, Shen Fei winced and had Sun Yu quickly send the others away.

Just moments ago, after leaving the shielded zone in the Pacific Ocean and regaining communications, he had immediately contacted Sun Yu to let him know he was on his way back with important intelligence to share. But he hadn’t expected it to cause so many people to wait for and crowd around him.

Obviously, this information wasn’t for everyone. Right now, dozens of monster tides were still being fought off around Qing City, and all of Blue Star was in chaos because of the sixth game ability inheritance. This information could only be shared with the relevant higher-ups for now.

"Alright!"

Although Sun Yu had all sorts of things he wanted to say, he always carried out Shen Fei’s orders immediately. At Shen Fei’s request, he quickly turned to make the arrangements. The vast majority of players who had surrounded them, though reluctant, slowly began to retreat.

Soon, only a dozen or so people were left standing on the walls of Yang City.

Aside from Shen Fei’s family, most of the remaining people were high-level officials from the Tourism Management Offices of various cities. Shen Fei saw that even the director of the Tourism Management Office from the distant Yang City was present, standing on the walls of Yang City.

He understood that over the past week, many more cities in Great Xia must have built Teleportation Arrays. Therefore, traveling to the Neutral City within Qing City via the Teleportation Array network was now extremely convenient.
