WHOOSH—

A post suddenly shot to the top of the homepage, its header image a warhorse with a pair of golden wings. Shen Fei recognized it at a glance; it was his father’s ’Horse’ chess piece.

He clicked into the post, and the scene that unfolded was just as he had expected. The Golden Celestial Horse hovered in the air above the airport. The figure on the horse simply waved a hand, and a massive cylindrical object descended from the sky. Then, the foreigners who had been wreaking havoc at the airport were instantly annihilated. As for the colossal, immensely powerful Godzilla, it was reduced to dust amidst a sky full of lightning...

The person in the video was him. This was the scene from when he and Sun Yu went to the airport to rescue Uncle Sun.

The good news was that Shen Fei had deployed a Mist Tower in advance. A layer of mist concealed his and Sun Yu’s faces as they sat on the Golden Celestial Horse. In the video, you couldn’t see what either of them looked like.

While Shen Fei was watching, the post with the Celestial Horse video was rapidly going viral across all the major forums. All sorts of comments were flooding in, a chaotic mix of reactions:

"Holy crap, what is this ability?! I want it! It froze that Iron Man in one move!"

"That Golden Celestial Horse flying in the sky, is it a mount or a pet? I want one so bad!"

"No way... that Godzilla stomped through a concrete slab two or three meters thick with one foot and smashed a plane to bits with one punch, and it just got blasted to smithereens by lightning that easily? What kind of item was that cylinder thing?!"

"What kind of god-tier ability did this dude inherit?!"

"I know, I know! It’s a Defense Tower! This is definitely something inherited from a tower defense game. Only a Defense Tower can unleash lightning attacks so fast and without any cost!"

"Bullshit! I inherited a Defense Tower too, but Defense Towers can’t just be moved around. Once you place one, you can’t easily move it again. But look at the guy in the video—after the cylinder zapped Godzilla, it just vanished!"

"It IS a Defense Tower! It’s the Divine Thunder Tower from the game *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*! I have that tower too, but mine is only a Seventh Tier. This guy’s tower looks like a high-level one! As for why it can move, I have no idea!"

"*Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*? Why does that sound so familiar?"

"Isn’t that the game the whale who spent two billion played? Is this guy that whale? Didn’t he die?"

"The two-billion whale is dead! But there are still whales who spent hundreds of thousands or millions! They might have this kind of tower too!"

"Damn! What I want to know is, we have someone this powerful in Xia Country?"

"I’ve seen that horse! A few hours ago, I saw someone riding it and flying away in the sky. I’m in Qing City!"

The post’s view count was skyrocketing, and all sorts of comments were pouring in. There was shock, speculation, joy, and envy...

Shen Fei was rapidly scrolling through the posts. In the next room, his sister, Shen Yue, wasn’t asleep either. She was also up all night, browsing online for news.

However, Shen Yue wasn’t on a gaming forum but on her school’s BBS:

"Fellow students, please register with me! I’m compiling a list of all the game abilities everyone inherited!"

Shen Yue saw that on the school forum, a student was collecting data using their real name. To her surprise, Shen Yue actually knew this person. He was one of her suitors. In the past, Shen Yue couldn’t be bothered with him. Now, seeing how high-profile he was acting, Shen Yue understood.

He must have inherited a powerful game ability. His confidence is starting to show...

"Fellow students, let me be the first to reveal my ability!"

"The game I inherited from is called *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*, and I was ranked 148th on its Combat Power leaderboard!"

"Tonight, I inherited my first tower, a Seventh-Tier Divine Thunder Tower, along with eight Sixth-Tier Defense Towers!"

"I’ve already tested it with some classmates. The lightning attacks from this Seventh-Tier Divine Thunder Tower are comparable to the Palm Thunder of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator from a Cultivation game! It can also match the Thunder Skill cast by a Magic Master in a magic game!"

"But my Defense Tower requires no resources, has no cooldown, and can attack continuously! It’s much stronger than them!"

"Everyone, look at this video! The expert on the Golden Celestial Horse is using a Divine Thunder Tower! It’s the same type as mine!"

"And this is with only 5% of my Defense Towers inherited. Once I’ve inherited them all, I’ll have 23 Seventh-Tier Defense Towers!"

"Don’t worry, everyone, I’m just gathering information to consolidate our strength! Just like the expert with the Celestial Horse at the airport, I want to punish evil and promote good!"

"Please, trust me!"

This post on Shen Yue’s school forum was incredibly popular. In a very short time, it had already amassed three to four thousand replies. Shen Yue saw that many female students in the comments were already calling the original poster "Big Bro," even using their real names...

The main reason for this was the combat video from the airport, where the Divine Thunder Tower had instantly killed the Godzilla that could flatten a tank with a single punch... The power of the Divine Thunder Tower was thus demonstrated to its fullest. Thanks to the power of this example, Shen Yue’s suitor, a young man named Qiao Shan, had managed to get many students who had also inherited game abilities to rally around him. The Divine Thunder Tower had become well-known to many because of the airport combat video...

"Classmate Shen Yue! Are you and your family okay? Do you need me to come rescue you? The game ability I inherited is pretty decent! I’ve already met up with a few other students who also inherited abilities!"

What Shen Yue didn’t expect was that while she was still reading the post, Qiao Shan actually sent her a direct message.

Shen Yue was rendered completely speechless. Of course, she recognized the Golden Celestial Horse from the airport. It was her dad’s "Horse" chess piece. And the person on the Golden Celestial Horse—she recognized him in a heartbeat. It was her older brother... Faced with the confidence and pride in Qiao Shan’s words, Shen Yue didn’t know how to respond.

"Hey! Yueyue, hurry and check the school forum! Looks like that suitor of yours, Qiao Shan, inherited a powerful game ability!"

Shen Yue hadn’t even replied to Qiao Shan when a WeChat message from her best friend came in. Her best friend had also seen what was happening on the school forum.

"So what game ability did you end up inheriting?!!" seeing her best friend’s message, Shen Yue shot a question back.

When they had first inherited their abilities, the two of them had checked in with each other. Her friend had said she inherited a game ability too, but she just wouldn’t tell Shen Yue what it was. Shen Yue knew that her best friend, Xiaohong, was a person who appeared cold on the outside but was warm on the inside. Despite being well-endowed and having a delicate face, in real life, she was a shy and prim girl who had never even held a boy’s hand. But the games she played were all very ’fujoshi’ and "perverted"...

"Hurry up and tell me! If you tell me, I’ll introduce you to my brother!" Since her best friend wouldn’t tell her, Shen Yue went for the ultimate move.

CLICK!

The ultimate move was effective. A few seconds later, an image was sent to Shen Yue’s phone. The picture showed a fair, flat stomach, and on it was a blood-red, symmetrical tattoo that glowed with a mysterious light...

Shen Yue was instantly exasperated. She was very familiar with that stomach—it was her best friend’s. She now knew what game ability her friend had inherited.

The Succubus Silver Pattern!

A good girl from a prestigious university in real life, because of the "perverted" games she played, had now inherited a "perverted" game ability herself....

「Japan.」

A meeting of the highest level was being held in urgency.

Two scenes were playing on the projector at the front of the conference room. One scene showed someone in Xia Country’s Qing City airport, riding a Golden Celestial Horse and summoning an Invincible Defense Tower to annihilate a rampaging Godzilla. The other showed Nagoya City in Japan, where an even larger Godzilla than the one at the Xia Country airport was destroying the city with apocalyptic force. After destroying Nagoya, this Godzilla continued its advance. Its destination: Tokyo.

The conference room was terrifyingly silent. After seeing the powerful Godzilla get effortlessly annihilated by the person on the Celestial Horse, no one knew what to say.

After a moment, the man at the head of the table spoke. "According to the Empire’s investigation, this Han man who has mastered the special Defense Tower is most likely in Xia Country’s Qing City. To save the Empire’s capital of Tokyo, we must abduct him!"

"The intelligence bureau has already analyzed it. For all players who inherited Defense Towers, while the towers are powerful, the players themselves are very fragile!"

"Therefore, as long as we capture the man himself, we can certainly take him captive and keep him imprisoned, forcing him to obediently use his Defense Tower to protect our Tokyo!"

"This is a Teleportation Disc that someone in the Empire inherited from the ’Nine-Headed God’ game. It still has five uses left, which is enough for you to go capture this person and bring him back to the Empire!" As he spoke, the man at the head of the table handed over a mysterious disc.

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

Accepting the disc, three men clad entirely in black, who had inherited special abilities from a ninja game, nodded repeatedly.

"Good. Depart at once!"

"The Earth is expanding rapidly. You must be quick!"

The man gave the order...
