Chapter 180: Chapter 122: Second Wave of Ability Inheritance, Counter-killing Japan, and Obtaining a Divine Artifact

Although the National Treasure Divine Artifact’s main function was support, the middle-aged man was fully confident he could refine Shen Fei, who was trapped inside the bottle.

"Refine him!"

「Two hours later.」

The middle-aged man’s face was thunderous as he manipulated the Divine Bottle, activating another one of its functions.

There was no issue using the Divine Bottle’s attacks for short durations over a small area. However, prolonged use came at a cost. It consumed the Mysterious Particles that had appeared throughout the country after the game’s features became reality—things like Magic Elements and Cultivation Magical Power.

Seeing the man from Xia Country still alive and kicking inside the Divine Bottle after two hours, the middle-aged man had no choice but to increase the intensity of the refining process.

To the naked eye, specks of starlight began to appear around the gigantic bottle, which was as large as Mount Fuji. This was a sign that a massive amount of Mysterious Particles was being drawn in. However, what the middle-aged man and the surrounding Japanese onlookers hadn’t expected was that this refining process would last all the way from day into night.

Inside the Divine Bottle, Shen Fei sat in his safe zone, watching the distant nine-colored mist transform into all sorts of attack patterns. It started as a nine-colored Tornado, then became an army of nine-colored monsters. After that, it morphed into nine different types of natural disasters. Physical attacks, chemical attacks, mystical attacks—it had tried every trick in the book. But to Shen Fei, it was all just a tickle. The attacks couldn’t inflict the slightest bit of damage on his twenty Defense Towers.

He let out a yawn. Other than feeling a little hungry, Shen Fei felt nothing out of the ordinary. He didn’t know how long the Divine Bottle would trap him, but when he discovered he could still get online from inside, he was no longer in any hurry.

This 85% complete Divine Artifact component that’s trapping me? I’m definitely taking it for myself! The longer you trap me, the more excited I get!

[DING!]

Shen Fei was lurking on the Forum, watching countless people reel in shock. Not only had Hang City captured two cities, but Immortal Emperor Zhao Li had also announced that Songhai City had taken a large city of its own. Just as he was reading this, his panel suddenly opened.

[DING!]

[Inheritance of Game Abilities into Reality: Phase Two of Project Two has begun!]

[In five seconds, you will once again inherit a game ability based on your previous selection or a random project!]

[Calculated based on your total in-game spending, today marks the inheritance for the second stage of Project Two: the 6-yuan tier. All players who have spent more than 6 yuan may inherit an additional 5% of their selected project’s abilities.]

[In one day, the third stage of game ability inheritance will commence: 88-yuan spending tier, 50% ability inheritance...]

[DING!]

[Detected that the number of occupied Neutral Cities has exceeded 20. Version 4.3 evolution is accelerating...]

"Holy crap!"

"It’s been a whole day!"

"No wonder I’m so tired and sleepy..."

Shen Fei stared in amazement at the text scrolling across his newly opened panel. From the start of the second wave of ability inheritances and the descent of the Neutral Cities, a full 24 hours had already passed.

In those 24 hours, he had defended nine cities all by himself, conversed with the Ethereum Punk loli in Hang City, delivered a huge gift to the Hang City Tourism Management Office, and even gone to Songhai City to lend Zhao Li a hand. And then, he’d spent all this time locked in a stalemate with Japan’s Divine Artifact. Shen Fei’s day had been way too busy.

[DING!]

[Inherited one piece of Tower Master equipment!]

[Obtained Tower Master’s Bracers!]

As Shen Fei processed this, more text scrolled by. He had obtained another piece of Tower Master equipment.

Now this is a game-changer!

With the new equipment on, the number of Defense Towers Shen Fei could freely summon instantly rose to thirty. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and summoned another ten offensive Defense Towers. The twenty defensive Defense Towers had already built him a safe zone; now, these ten new offensive Defense Towers gave him a much stronger means of counter-attack.

More importantly, the thought of tomorrow’s 50% ability inheritance made Shen Fei’s heart race. After the 50% inheritance, I’ll probably get five or six more pieces of Tower Master equipment. With that, the number of Defense Towers I can summon will skyrocket!

"Just hold on!" he muttered quickly, rubbing his stomach. "I’m not hungry! I’m not hungry!"

Now that a game-changer had appeared, Shen Fei activated the Guard Towers at full power and set all his Defense Towers to operate and attack automatically. Then, he went straight to sleep inside his safe zone. He hadn’t slept for 24 hours, and during that time, he had been busier than anyone. He needed to rest.

"Attack!"

"Throw your things over there!"

"This is an order!"

"For the Empire of Japan!"

Outside the Divine Bottle, the Japanese, led by the middle-aged man, had of course also just inherited a wave of new abilities. He looked on as the Divine Bottle, which had been refining for the better part of a day, still showed no signs of returning to normal. The middle-aged man ordered the players who had just inherited items to throw them over and "feed" them to the Divine Bottle. After operating at high power for so long, the Divine Bottle was desperate for any special energy it could get.

WHOOSH. WHOOSH. WHOOSH.

The people of Japan had vile personalities, but they were remarkably obedient when it came to following the suicidal orders of their superiors. At the middle-aged man’s command, all sorts of strange and bizarre items were tossed toward the colossal Divine Bottle. All of these items were inherited from games: X-ray Glasses, Time Pausers, Beauty Scent Trackers, and so on... Japan certainly had no shortage of bizarre games.

"You just wait!" the middle-aged man vowed. "In the next 50% ability inheritance, I will definitely be able to inherit my Sharingan!"

After countless items were tossed in, they waited several more hours, but the Divine Bottle remained uncontrollable.
