"Young man! Wait! Wait!"

"Stop! Stop! Listen to me! Just listen to me!!"

"Young man, you’re still young! Don’t go down the path of a criminal!!"

"Calm down, young man!!"

Shen Fei had crushed two people to death at the slightest disagreement. They never imagined the kind-faced Shen Fei could be so impulsive. He was clearly not someone they could control, and the crowd scrambled backward in fear.

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

The men and women in suits kept backing away. Suddenly, several men in black appeared from the crowd, blocking their path and drawing pistols from their waists.

"Young man!"

"This isn’t right!"

"You’ve committed a terrible crime!"

With five or six bodyguards now protecting them, the men and women who had been retreating felt their confidence return.

"Young Master!"

"Yu!"

"Take this!!"

Just as a smirk touched Shen Fei’s lips, and he was about to wipe these people out in one fell swoop and make a quick exit, Uncle Sun suddenly stepped forward, spreading his arms to shield the two of them. He then pressed a golden chess piece into each of their hands.

.

[Chess Piece: Soldier]

[Quality: Gold]

[Skills: Bodyguard, Vigilance, Pincer Attack]

[Bodyguard: Summons a guard to protect the user’s person. The guard cannot move more than ten meters away.]

[Vigilance: The guard provides all-around protection for the target, can instantly teleport to the target’s side, and is always ready to sacrifice itself to save them.]

[Pincer Attack: When two Soldiers combine, they can perform a Combined Technique. When defending a target, their Defense Power is instantly increased by 1000%.]

[Note: The guard is bound to the golden chess piece. Until the "General" or "Marshal" pieces are inherited, the guard obeys whoever holds the golden chess piece!]

.

What the hell? Uncle Sun inherited an ability from his chess game, too. And by a stroke of luck, he inherited two identical pieces on his first try—the Soldier.

Looking at the pieces in his and Sun Yu’s hands, then at Uncle Sun standing alone in front of them, Shen Fei understood. Uncle Sun wanted the guards to protect the two of them.

He really doesn’t know his own strength!

Shen Fei couldn’t help but smile. For a man who had inherited game-like abilities, Uncle Sun was terrified of a few pistols. However, Shen Fei truly felt Uncle Sun’s concern for him.

WHOOSH!

Seeing Uncle Sun shielding him and his brother, Shen Fei was about to summon his Defense Towers for an instant kill when suddenly, from the crowd opposite them, enraged roars erupted.

"You can actually give your chess pieces away!!!"

"Didn’t you say only you could control the guard?!"

"You lied to us!!!"

"Hand them over!!!"

The people in suits never expected that Uncle Sun’s chess pieces could be given away. If they had known, they would have snatched the pieces earlier.

"You actually have two of them!!"

"You were hiding one this whole time!"

"Damn you!! You deserve to die!!"

Someone roared furiously. They completely disregarded that Uncle Sun had just been protecting them. Seeing that the chess pieces could be transferred, they grew frantic with greed. In an instant, they were consumed by one thought: to take the pieces for themselves.

ROAR!

ROAR!

ROAR!!

Amid the roars, three people in the crowd suddenly transformed. One turned into a werewolf; a three-meter-long, blood-red greatsword appeared in another’s hands; and a third’s body contorted as a giant, white Skull Staff materialized in his grasp.

They were all a bunch of treacherous bastards!

During the previous fight, they had cowered in the crowd, playing the part of innocent victims, and had even let Uncle Sun protect them. In reality, all three had already inherited game abilities. Now, upon seeing Uncle Sun give the pieces to Shen Fei and Sun Yu, and the golden guards instantly appear to protect them, these hidden, treacherous bastards finally made their move.

Previously, Uncle Sun had fallen from a height of several hundred meters but was completely unharmed under the guard’s protection. Initially, these treacherous bastards were merely envious of Uncle Sun’s ability, with no intention of snatching the guard away. But now, seeing that the guard could be given away, they realized it was possible to take it by force. They instantly revealed their true colors. They hid when facing deadly enemies, but the moment immense personal gain was on the line, they immediately transformed.

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

The treacherous bastards who had revealed themselves charged forward without a word, moving with incredible speed.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

On a signal from someone behind them, the bodyguards holding pistols opened fire.

"Hand it over! This is beyond your ability to control!"

"Do as you’re told!"

"Give them to us!"

People in the crowd started shouting, trying to distract Shen Fei’s group of three.

"Fuck!"

"Earth Wall Tower!"

"Ice Tower!"

"Ground Spikes!"

As the three treacherous bastards attacked, a cold glint flashed in Shen Fei’s eyes. With a wave of his hand, he deployed a defensive Earth Wall Tower.

THWACK!

THWACK!

THWACK!

The bullets struck the Earth Wall Tower, failing to harm Uncle Sun who stood in front.

WHOOSH~

The moment the bullets hit, the Ice Tower Shen Fei had summoned activated in sync. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

PEW!

PEW!

PEW!

Shen Fei instantly activated the Ice Tower’s ultimate. Like a machine gun, it spat out countless chilling ice orbs in the blink of an eye.

CRACK!

CRACK!

CRACK!

In an instant, the crowd in front was frozen into pillars of ice.

SHING!

SHING!

SHING!

The moment the Ice Tower took effect, the Ground Spike Tower unleashed conical spikes, ten centimeters thick and over a meter long with sharp tips. Countless spikes burst through the concrete floor, stabbing up from the ground.

CRUNCH!

CRUNCH!

CRUNCH!

Impaled by the spikes, the frozen crowd shattered into fragments of ice.

"Bro!!!" Sun Yu, who had still been studying the Soldier chess piece, cried out in astonishment as he watched the Defense Towers clear the entire underground space in a single second.

"Young Master!!"

The three treacherous bastards had been impaled by the spikes until they looked like swiss cheese, riddled with holes.

Coming to his senses, Uncle Sun was also aghast. He had been planning to use the Soldier pieces to protect them, but Shen Fei had wiped everyone out in a single second. This terrified Uncle Sun. Although he was a veteran who had been on the battlefield, Uncle Sun had never seen or heard of killing people with a Superpower like this!

Uncle Sun was stunned, wondering what kind of ability Shen Fei had inherited. Sun Yu, on the other hand, was shocked by how decisive, ruthless, and confident his big brother Shen Fei was.

"You two go!" Uncle Sun shouted urgently, seeing military Warriors in the distance gathering the survivors and hurrying in their direction. "I’ll stay here and take the blame! I’ll say I’m the one who killed them!!"

"Let’s go!" Seeing Uncle Sun’s expression, Shen Fei smiled faintly, summoned a Celestial Horse, and the three of them mounted it to leave.

Take the blame? Take the blame my ass! By sunrise tomorrow, he won’t even recognize how chaotic the world has become...

WHOOSH!

The moment they took flight, Shen Fei recalled all of his Defense Towers, including the Mist Tower. He paid no mind to the airport survivors below, who were gaping in astonishment. Without a backward glance, Shen Fei departed.

CRACKLE!

After Shen Fei’s group left, the underground space collapsed, and a bone buried deep beneath the earth suddenly twitched.

.

What is this? Complete datafication of Earth... isn’t that something that only shows up after version 4.4 or 4.5?

He had finally rescued Uncle Sun safely, and those psychos in the underground garage who saw him had all been eliminated. As he guided the Celestial Horse toward home, still holding the Soldier piece, Shen Fei’s attention was drawn to another item in his hand, a curious new acquisition. The item had dropped from the treacherous bastard he’d just killed—the one who’d conjured the Skull Staff and must have inherited the abilities of a Skeleton Mage.
