[Ability Inheritance Correction Complete!]

[Inherited 31 Tenth Tier Defense Towers!]

[.....]

The frozen panel finally moved. In the end, though he had no idea how the correction was made, Shen Fei had obtained 31 Defense Towers in the first inheritance phase.

31 bare towers—with no Gemstones, no skills, no Bond effects, and no buffs whatsoever—appeared in Shen Fei’s panel inventory.

"Holy crap! You scared the hell out of me!"

The time had ticked to 12:00:30 AM. The mosaic on his panel had vanished, and his attribute bars had successfully loaded. Seeing this, Shen Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Those thirty seconds had felt longer than the entire month since his rebirth.

It was terrifying! The fact that he had spent so much money had actually caused the game’s inheritance rules to freeze. Shen Fei had never expected this.

Today is the 1-yuan first-purchase inheritance, the 5% tier! Tomorrow is the 10% inheritance! The day after tomorrow is 15%! And the day after that is the 50% tier...

.

Gazing at the game abilities he had finally inherited, Shen Fei mulled over the inheritance rules.

In his past life, he was a free-to-play player. The only reason he had inherited any abilities from the battle royale game was because a fan had once gifted him a 1-yuan first purchase. And because he had only spent one yuan, he was done after just one round of the ability inheritance. After receiving the 5% from the first round, the subsequent inheritance rounds had nothing to do with him.

He still remembered that during the inheritance in his past life, he had inherited an in-game skill in the first category. In the second category, he inherited an in-game firearm. After inheriting from those two categories, the ability inheritance was over for him. Relying on the inherited game skill and a firearm with the "never-wear-out" trait, he had managed to scrape by in the apocalypse for three years.

Reborn into this new life, Shen Fei was finally at ease seeing the 31 Tenth Tier bare towers he had inherited in the first step. Compared to his past life, what he had inherited this time was on a completely different level. Right now, any single one of the Defense Towers he had inherited could have wiped out tens of thousands of his past self.

Shen Fei understood that in this life, he would be able to participate in every phase of the game ability inheritance. Defense Towers, Gemstones, skills, Heroes, pets, Floating Cities... He wouldn’t miss a single phase. He would be guaranteed to inherit something in every round.

Moreover, after the inheritance for all game ability categories was complete, he would receive an even greater boost when the final feedback calculation was made based on the amount of Krypton Gold spent. Based on his experience from his past life, after all game categories were corrected and inherited, there would be a final boost based on the amount of Krypton Gold spent.

For example, if you spent one million in Krypton Gold, your inherited abilities would be exactly the same as they were in the game. But if you spent two million in Krypton Gold, your corrected game abilities would be doubled in power.

Shen Fei had spent 1.95 billion.

That amount was over 1,900 times more than one million. He was looking forward to seeing what his abilities would look like when they were boosted by over 1,900 times, once all his game abilities were inherited into reality during the final settlement.

Shen Fei even suspected that it was precisely because of this final 1,900-fold boost calculation that his inheritance had frozen for so long.

It’s not going to freeze up again then, is it...

Looking at the inherited Defense Towers in his inventory, Shen Fei privately speculated about the 1,900-fold boost.

The equipment hasn’t been inherited yet! Once these Defense Towers are placed, they can’t be moved! I have to be careful about placing the Defense Towers before my equipment is inherited...

Looking at the max-level Mist Towers, Anti-Invisibility Towers, Vine Towers, Immortal Skill Divine Sky Towers, and more among his inherited Defense Towers, Shen Fei began planning his next moves.

The worst thing about Defense Towers was their immobility. The equipment and Floating City that would allow him to move them hadn’t been inherited yet. Therefore, he had to be cautious about placing his Defense Towers. He also hadn’t inherited the "Enlarge and Reduce" skill yet. A max-level Tenth Tier Defense Tower was, at its most basic, over ten meters tall and several meters thick. Once placed, a Defense Tower was not only immobile, but its durability could also be depleted by enemies. It would also be far too conspicuous.

WHOOSH.

The first step of my game ability inheritance is finally complete!

After thinking for a couple of seconds, Shen Fei let out a long breath. Only now did he have the energy to check on his family’s abilities. At the same time, he finally had the mental space to deal with the Heaven-Reaching Gang fans in his QQ group, his plans for after the game’s descent, and everything else.

WHOOSH.

He opened the game Forum, intending to see if the information on the Forum was the same as in his past life.

"Huh!? HOLY SHIT!!!"

Before he could even type a word in the exploding QQ group chat, a voice suddenly rang in Shen Fei’s ears again. Hearing the content of the message, Shen Fei couldn’t help but curse as his mind completely blew up!

[DING!]

[Due to the influence of a special player!]
