Defense Towers. I definitely made the right choice!

At Nanshan Villa, Shen Fei knew the attack he had just launched would undoubtedly shock countless people. Both in the Xia Country and around the globe, countless people would surely be losing sleep tonight. But as he looked at the internet exploding with discussion, Shen Fei’s heart was as calm as still water. He had no intention of explaining himself.

This is nothing. When the NPCs and all kinds of evil bosses are inherited in the future, that’s when things will get truly chaotic. Compared to that, the current situation is just a light drizzle!

WHOOSH...

Ignoring the heated online discussions, Shen Fei manipulated his Detection Tower. Its range was now restored to 5 kilometers, and through it, he saw that his father and Uncle Sun had returned to the temporary office of the Qing City Tourism Management Office. He retracted his gaze and prepared to sleep.

He didn’t care what others thought about the Undead Calamity that had just erupted in the northern part of the city. To him, this was nothing more than an incredibly small monster tide. It was nothing compared to the super monster tides from his past life, which were commanded by various bosses and filled with a mix of countless game monsters. The monster tide from just now couldn’t even compare to the ones from the tower defense game invasion. It wasn’t worth his consideration.

It’s just a shame I couldn’t figure out the reason for the Undead Calamity’s outbreak!

As he logged into the game, listening to Sky Control’s gentle and beautiful voice while continuing to run dungeons with her, a thought surfaced in his mind. The Star-Slaying Tower had wiped the entire Qing City Airport clean, along with a several-kilometer radius around it, so he could no longer investigate the specific cause of the Undead Calamity’s outbreak.

If the datafication process were already complete, I probably would have gained some experience for killing all those monsters...

By wiping out the Undead Calamity and the enormous super Gluttonous Snake, Shen Fei had gained nothing besides the chance to brazenly test his four Defense Towers. He felt a slight sense of regret about this.

But there was nothing to be done. Without the completion of datafication, he couldn’t level up or continue to improve. No matter how many monsters he killed, he couldn’t gain any upgrade experience.

"Hmm?"

His mother next door had already fallen asleep, with his younger sister keeping her company. After running a few Secret Realms with Sky Control, he checked his Detection Tower and saw Father Shen and Uncle Sun starting to head back. Just as Shen Fei was about to rest, he suddenly froze.

He saw several furtive, shadowy figures enter Sun Yu’s residential complex. Then, these men in black seemed to have a clear target. They were rushing toward the floor where Sun Yu’s family lived.

With Shen Fei personally overseeing things from the center, his Guard Tower, operating at full power, instantly detected these malicious men in black. Their movements were easily tracked.

Has Sun Yu been exposed?

He could see that these men in black were all players who had inherited game abilities. They used flashy game abilities, with some even teleporting out of thin air. As Shen Fei muttered to himself, he instantly deployed his Vine Tower. Around his own home, he didn’t use his high-powered Defense Towers. Instead, he exclusively used the Vine Tower’s attacks to create the least amount of commotion.

These guys are so sneaky; they can’t be up to any good! Time to deal with them directly!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Soon, the group of men in black were dragged to his doorstep in terror, unable to even make a sound.

"Alright, talk. What’s going on?"

Having bound the men in black tightly and activated his Forbidden Magic Domain Tower, Anti-Curse Domain Tower, and Antitoxic Tower, Shen Fei, concealed behind the mist, began his interrogation.

Brother Kaipan is Skyrocketing’s alternate account? Brother Kaipan was the one who caused the attack on the Qing City Airport? I have an alternate identity now? And that identity is Sun Yu?

A few minutes later, after snapping the necks of all the men in black and dragging their bodies underground, Shen Fei was stunned. He hadn’t intentionally hidden his identity, nor had he intentionally exposed it. He didn’t know how the news had spread or who had spread it. But it seemed the information had gotten mixed up.

The person who wiped out the Undead Calamity was now believed to be Sun Yu. Sun Yu had become the "public" guardian of Qing City.

Were Sun Yu’s words at the Qing City Institute of Technology analyzed and used for speculation? A few seconds later, Shen Fei made some judgments. The only time Sun Yu could have been exposed was when he went to the Qing City Institute of Technology.

"Sun Yu, come over for a minute!"

Not wanting his little brother to be exposed to danger, Shen Fei called Sun Yu over. Although with him standing guard there could be no danger within a 5-kilometer radius, he felt it was better to talk things over.

"Okay!"

In his own room, Sun Yu knew his big brother was the one who had shocked the internet. Unaware that men in black had just tried to ambush him, he responded and quickly ran into Shen Fei’s villa.

At the same time, Father Shen and Uncle Sun also got off work from the Tourism Management Office and returned quietly, keeping a low profile. For some unknown reason, after they returned together, Uncle Sun didn’t go home, instead following Father Shen to the Shen Family’s villa.

"Good, you’re here. Was it you?!" Upon entering and seeing Sun Yu was there, Uncle Sun strode over and asked excitedly.

A short while ago, upon returning to the Tourism Management Office, Uncle Sun had been directly appointed as an honorary director. This gave Uncle Sun quite a shock. Then, when speaking with Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong had slung an arm around Uncle Sun’s shoulder and told him very enthusiastically, "You’ve raised a good son!" This left Uncle Sun utterly confused.

Unable to get any answers out of Li Yunlong, a doubt-filled Uncle Sun ended up following Father Shen back to the villa, planning to discuss what on earth was going on. On the way, the two honorary directors of the Qing City Tourism Management Office discussed the matter. They guessed it was most likely related to the Tornado and the world-ending pillar of light that had wiped out the Undead Calamity earlier.

"Uhh... it wasn’t all me..." Seeing his father’s questioning look, Sun Yu shook his head, speechless.

Hearing that his father had also been made an honorary director and what his big brother Shen Fei had just said about eliminating several men in black who had been approaching him, Sun Yu replied vaguely. He had already pieced together a rough idea of the situation. He felt it would be better for him to be the public face of this. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Sun Yu, do you and Uncle Sun want to stay in the villa tonight?" After Uncle Sun finished his question, Shen Fei made a suggestion. Although with him standing guard, the 5-kilometer radius would be perfectly safe, it was better to lay low and avoid any trouble.

"No need!" Sun Yu quickly rejected Shen Fei’s suggestion and explained his reasoning. "Brother Fei, here’s what I think! Since they’re guessing it was me, it’s the perfect opportunity for me to be the one in the spotlight! With you hidden in the background, my safety is absolutely guaranteed!

"It’s perfect—one of us in the light, one in the shadows. This way, we can coordinate well!

"Otherwise, if we both stay together, something might still happen! Even with the protection of the [Soldier] chess piece, a Tower Master’s physical body is still too weak right now..."

As for the two fathers, Father Shen and Uncle Sun, they exchanged a look after hearing the brothers’ conversation and fell silent.

About ten minutes later, Uncle Sun and Sun Yu left the villa and returned to their own home. However, both of them now carried a [Soldier] chess piece close to their bodies. At the same time, Shen Fei specifically extended the range of his Mist Tower to envelop the area around Uncle Sun’s house.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Shen Fei and Sun Yu wanted to catch the person pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

"It was you?" After Uncle Sun and Sun Yu left, Father Shen turned his gaze to his own son.

"It was me."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Then... do we fight?"

"We fight!"

The father and son exchanged a few words with perfect understanding, and then...
