"Who’s there!"
"Who’s there!"
"Who’s there!!"
The invisible security guard who had infiltrated the house had already been taken care of. Hearing the guard’s final scream, Father Shen, Mrs. Shen, and Shen Yue whipped their heads around in terror. Unfortunately, all they saw was a large hole that had appeared in the floor. Moreover, as a thick vine writhed within it, the hole was rapidly repairing itself...
"CROAK, CROAK, CROAK..."
Before Shen Fei could explain, the large red frog—which had automatically grown in size and beco unusually alert—was the first to return to normal. After the intruding guard was dead, it automatically shrank back to the size of a walnut and hopped onto Shen Yue’s shoulder again.
"It’s okay!" Shen Fei called out, giving a casual wave to reassure them. "It’s been taken care of!"
He had deliberately used the Vine Tower to drag the intruder underground precisely to spare his family from seeing such a bloody scene. Seeing his family staring in shock at the now nearly repaired hole, then back at him in astonishnt, he tried to appear calm.
Since they hadn’t seen a bloody corpse, his family quickly shifted their gaze. Their eyes fell, instead, upon the ten giant Defense Towers that Shen Fei had summoned. They understood that this was the ability Shen Fei had inherited from the ga, but they didn’t understand what these things were. In the darkness, the people outside the villa couldn’t see the Defense Towers’ true forms because of the mist. But from inside, his family could see the mysterious pillars towering high, glowing with various different colors.
"These are the Defense Towers I inherited from the ga," Shen Fei slowly explained, addressing his family’s confusion. "They can protect our ho! Tonight is going to be chaotic, so let’s not leave!"
Tonight, when the ga abilities had just been inherited, would also be the most chaotic ti. Only after they got through the chaos of tonight would the survivors be able to start restoring order. He definitely didn’t want his family to go running around outside tonight. Besides, the early release of version 4.1 had also filled him with a sense of alarm.
"Tell about your abilities!" Seeing that his family was still in shock, Shen Fei directly changed the subject. He had been so worried about not inheriting his own ga abilities earlier that he hadn’t had a chance to learn about his family’s situation at all. Now, he finally had the chance to find out.
[Plant Growth: Can increase the growth speed of plants within a designated range by 200% (Aura-type). Can be targeted to increase a single plant’s growth speed by 100,000%, 24-hour cooldown (Single-target type). Can be used in reverse...]
Shen Fei first examined the ability his mother had inherited. Clearly, the first ability his mother inherited was a skill. The skill’s main function was a passive Aura that enhanced plant growth speed. As for when his mother had made the devil’s ivy grow earlier, nearly suffocating the whole family, that was because she had unintentionally activated the skill’s active effect. After reassuring Mrs. Shen with a few words and telling her she would inherit more in the future, Shen Fei’s gaze shifted to his sister, Shen Yue.
[Na: Traveling Frog]
[Current Skin: Dark Red Fire Frog]
[Innate Skills: Navigation, Seeking Items]
[Skin Skill: Early Warning]
Shen Fei quickly finished looking over his sister’s Traveling Frog Attributes panel. What he hadn’t expected was that his sister’s red frog wasn’t a separate pet. It was rely a skin. A skin called "Dark Red Fire Frog." In other words, his sister’s ga ability inheritance wasn’t what he had previously thought—she wouldn’t be inheriting a large group of various frogs. Instead, she would only inherit a single frog, but this frog had different skins. Depending on the skin, it could possess a variety of different ’skin skills’.
One frog is easier to manage, anyway! Shen Fei ntally assessed his sister’s frog. Its ability to detect the invisible security guard earlier was thanks to the frog’s "Early Warning" skin skill.
This innate skill, Treasure Hunting, is pretty interesting! Shen Fei’s attention was primarily focused on the Traveling Frog’s innate skill, "Treasure Hunting." In the ga, the Traveling Frog could bring its owner all sorts of unexpected things. Now, inherited into reality, this little guy also had a related skill.
Excellent. I’ll have to give it a good try once things are safe! Shen Fei made a ntal note of his high hopes for [Treasure Hunting]. After that, he began to examine the ability his father had inherited.
[Chess Piece: Horse]
[Quality: Golden]
[Skills: Human-Carrying Flight, Kicking Up, Ringed Horse]
[Flying Speed: 500 km/h]
[Kicking Up: Kick with the hind legs to deliver a powerful blow.]
[Ringed Horse (1/2): When two Horses are present, they can form a Ringed Horse, creating a powerful linked ability (Inactive).]
[Note 1: Possesses a natural instinct to guard the "General" and "Marshal".]
[Note 2: It is bound to the Golden chess piece. Before the "General" or "Marshal" pieces are inherited, the Celestial Horse will obey whoever controls the Golden chess piece!]
His father’s Golden Celestial Horse’s Attributes were within Shen Fei’s expectations. What did surprise him, however, was that the Celestial Horse’s Flying Speed was a full 500 km/h. That was faster than a high-speed train. Furthermore, given the Celestial Horse’s enormous size, it could clearly carry five or six people at once. What Shen Fei hadn’t expected was that the "Golden chess piece" the Celestial Horse was tied to could actually be stolen. A Celestial Horse without a "General" or "Marshal" could be taken from his father’s hands and controlled by soone else.
Not bad. At least we don’t have to worry about transportation...
Shen Fei nodded again after discussing the information about the Golden Celestial Horse with his father. With 32 chess pieces available to inherit, Father Shen had only inherited a single Horse on the first 5% inheritance rate, which was a bit unlucky. After talking with his son, Father Shen began to look forward to the second inheritance tomorrow. Tomorrow’s inheritance rate would be 10%. Based on that rate, Father Shen could inherit at least three chess pieces. The Horse piece had given him a flying warhorse! Father Shen was excited to see what the Cannon, Elephant, Soldier, and even the Chariot pieces would give him when they were inherited.
Every man has a boy’s heart. Although Father Shen was over fifty, he had suddenly inherited powerful ga abilities. It ignited a youthful passion within him!
"My ability is Defense Towers. So far, I’ve only inherited 30 of them," Shen Fei said, giving his family a brief summary of his own situation after they had all shared information.
"Um..." After a few seconds, Shen Fei deliberated whether he should tell them about selling his parents’ company shares. Now that the ga abilities had truly begun to be inherited, his actions would likely be approved of if he told his parents now. The only difficult part would be explaining how he knew about it in advance.
Forget it... After thinking it over, Shen Fei ultimately decided against saying anything. The apocalypse had arrived, and there was no telling how chaotic it was outside. By the ti humanity reacted and the chaos subsided a little, it wasn’t even certain if the company or the people he’d sold his father’s stocks to would still be around.
PHEW...
After spending two or three minutes confirming his family’s abilities and reassuring his parents, Shen Fei turned his attention back to the internet. He knew the web had already exploded. Never mind the players who knew he had spent 2 billion in Krypton Gold. Just in the Heaven-Reaching Gang’s fan group chat alone, ssages were flying at a rate of hundreds per second. It was complete madness. The ga abilities had really been inherited, and every gar was in a frenzy.
RING, RING, RING...
Suddenly, Shen Fei’s phone started ringing.
