「At the Qing City Tourism Management Office.」

After Father Shen and Uncle Sun said goodbye to their families, each holding a Soldier chess piece, they soon arrived at the temporary office of the Qing City Tourism Management Office.

"Ah! Old Squad Leader!!"

"Ah! Brother Sun!!!"

Just as they walked through the main gate, a capable-looking man with a full head of gray hair excitedly rushed over to greet them.

Li Yunlong was the former director of the Qing City Emergency Management Office. Now, due to the inheritance of game abilities, he had transformed into the director of the Qing City Game Inheritor Management Office. As an old comrade-in-arms of Father Shen and Uncle Sun, Li Yunlong had heard the stories of Shen Fei’s gaming addiction while drinking with them in the past.

Back then, Father Shen had lamented in front of many friends that his son was a lost cause. But no one could have ever expected that the world would change so drastically, bringing about the inheritance of game abilities. Game abilities could be inherited in reality, and in the blink of an eye, gamers became the center of everyone’s attention.

Faced with this massive change, Li Yunlong immediately began recruiting Ability Users and forming a new organization after receiving orders from his superiors. When he thought of Shen Fei—who loved games and whom he knew inside and out—Li Yunlong immediately called Father Shen.

What Li Yunlong didn’t expect was that it wasn’t Shen Fei, whom he had met once, who showed up, but Father Shen and Old Sun themselves.

"You two?" Li Yunlong asked curiously as he warmly invited them inside.

SHIMMER.

SHIMMER.

Then, under his astonished gaze, two tall, golden figures appeared behind Father Shen and Uncle Sun. The golden figures, over two meters tall, held long spears and Shields. They glittered with golden light, majestic and imposing. The powerful aura of the Golden Guardians instantly stunned Li Yunlong.

"We got pretty lucky. We inherited game abilities too!"

Seeing the shocked look on his old friend’s face, Father Shen was overjoyed. In the past, in front of his many old friends, although his business was doing very well, he was always the one who couldn’t hold his head high. It was all because his son was addicted to games, even running away from home because of it. He felt extremely ashamed and disgraced.

That was also why, a month ago, after his son had "turned over a new leaf," he had immediately taken him to visit all sorts of old friends. Part of the reason for this was to help his son quickly get familiar with the business. But a bigger reason was to boast to his old friends that his son had turned his life around and quit gaming.

As it turned out, Father Shen had never imagined that a day of inheriting game abilities would come. This made Father Shen even happier. That’s why, when his old friend Li Yunlong called, Father Shen had directly told him that his son had inherited abilities. And that’s also why he had ultimately agreed when his daughter playfully suggested that he, a man over fifty, should join the Tourism Management Office. It was truly because his son’s past disappointments had left Father Shen feeling so repressed.

At this moment, seeing Li Yunlong’s expression, Father Shen was satisfied. He knew that Li Yunlong had not inherited any game abilities.

During breakfast, Father Shen had asked his son if the reason he inherited game abilities was because his son had spent money. Although he didn’t get a definite "yes" from his son, with his wisdom, Father Shen could still deduce that his son must have done something.

My son is my pride now!

The only regrettable thing was that the server for the "Chess Alliance" game he played had been destroyed. He could no longer log in, so he couldn’t investigate even if he wanted to...

"This is great!"

"This is great!!"

"Old Squad Leader!! Brother Sun!!"

"I’m so envious of you two!!" Li Yunlong said, his face full of envy, as he grabbed their hands and led them toward a basement.

That brat Yu finally did something right!

Standing beside Father Shen, Uncle Sun watched Li Yunlong’s expression and was also filled with emotion. Although they were old friends, in the past, Li Yunlong, with his official position, would never have called him "Brother Sun." Back then, Li Yunlong always addressed him as Old Sun. Uncle Sun never expected that because he had inherited a game ability, there would come a time when he would be called "Brother Sun" again. That was what they called each other decades ago when they were still young men.

Uncle Sun looked forward to seeing what would happen when he inherited his other chess pieces...

"It’s so great to have you two here to help! Most of these people who inherited game abilities are young! They’re really hard to communicate with! Young people have too many strange ideas. I’m so grateful to have you two here to help me!" Li Yunlong spoke excitedly to them as they entered a huge basement that looked like an indoor tennis court.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Father Shen and Uncle Sun saw that there were quite a few people in the basement. These people were using their abilities on countless huge concrete pillars. Some had fists wreathed in fire, some had their hair turn yellow, and some were firing purple Magic orbs.

As he led Father Shen and Uncle Sun to an unoccupied concrete pillar, Li Yunlong explained, "Upstairs is for recruitment and registration. This place is for testing. We conduct a basic test of the inherited game abilities and then give them a preliminary rating. Although the rating isn’t precise, it serves as an initial record.

"These concrete pillars were previously used by the military to test the power of tank shells! We were short on time, so we requisitioned this place specifically to test the strength of inherited game abilities.

"Have your Golden Guardians attack this pillar directly. As long as they can leave a dent ten centimeters deep, I can recommend you both for the position of deputy director! These pillars are specially made. The newest armor-piercing, high-explosive tank rounds can only penetrate them by about ten centimeters!"
