There was a player who called himself the Immortal Emperor who once said he used the same unique ID for all his games: "Immortal Emperor llllllll8." In the future, after the game inheritance began, this guy would cry to the heavens and complain to anyone who would listen. He had spent a fortune to become an Immortal Emperor in a Cultivation Game, but because he failed to make a selection, he didn't inherit the Immortal Emperor's abilities. Instead, he randomly inherited the abilities from a game he had played called "City Flower Young Master." The abilities from this "City Flower Young Master" game offered nothing else besides being handsome and having one particularly strong "ability."
Because of his good looks and that certain inherited ability, through a series of strange coincidences, the Immortal Emperor ended up being kept by female players. In fact, it was several female players who kept him jointly. Since the Immortal Emperor's certain ability was so strong, he could satisfy many people at once. After some time, this Immortal Emperor couldn't take it anymore. After tearfully recounting his ordeal to everyone, he chose to commit suicide.
Right now, looking at this player's ID and seeing his shouts on the server-wide announcements, Shen Fei quickly confirmed that this was that very same Immortal Emperor. This was the protagonist of that bizarre story.
As for the other one, "Mushroom Enthusiast," he was even more familiar with him. This so-called "mushroom" didn't refer to the edible kind, but to "nuclear bombs." This "Mushroom Enthusiast" was a lunatic. In the future, after the NPC invasion began, he would immediately side with the forces of evil and turn against humanity. The reason for his malice was that the game he played was called "Super Weapon Dominance."
After the game invasion, this person inherited one million nuclear bombs from the game. Once the game abilities were inherited into reality, he started clamoring to be the boss, the ruler of the planet. When he found that no one was paying him any mind, the madman launched all one million of his nuclear bombs directly at the Earth. Fortunately, the Earth had already expanded to several dozen times its original size by then, and many people had inherited abilities and items from their games. That was the only reason the millions of nukes didn't completely sterilize the planet. But even so, his nuclear bombardment still caused immense casualties.
When the apocalypse descended, humanity's population was ultimately reduced by ninety percent just to barely fend off the slaughter from the monsters. And among that ninety percent who died, a portion was killed by this madman's nukes. The blood on his hands was immense. He was an infamous figure of the apocalypse, one nailed to the pages of history.
Seeing this person now, using the server-wide announcements to goad him into a Krypton Gold competition, Shen Fei's brows furrowed.
Those who will side with evil in the future, those villains who turn against humanity… should I deal with them in advance?
The appearance of Mushroom Enthusiast suddenly made Shen Fei think of something. Namely, when the game invasion happened in the future, should he eliminate those who would side with evil beforehand? Not that he meant killing them; he was thinking about getting rid of their game accounts.
He remembered now. After the apocalypse began, someone inherited the Gluttonous Snake ability and devoured everything in a city, including the people. Someone inherited the bizarre Demon Tree ability, using millions of people as nutrients and sucking them dry into husks. Someone inherited an Evil Cultivation Technique, forcing an entire city into dual cultivation, regardless of gender. The scene was… In Shen Fei's mind, a series of tragedies caused by humanity's own members after the apocalypse came to mind.
The others are hard to find, but this Mushroom Enthusiast, I can get rid of him first!
After thinking for two seconds, Shen Fei decided he didn't want to waste time hunting down others. However, as for this "Mushroom Enthusiast" who had delivered himself to his doorstep, he planned to deal with him directly.
"What's the point of a top-up competition? Name a place and let's meet offline. We can compete to see who can clear out more gold shops!" Shen Fei sent a private message to "Mushroom Enthusiast" after a moment's thought.
At the same time, he contacted a fixer via WeChat, asking him to find a master hacker to steal "Mushroom Enthusiast's" account. To deal with such a malicious person, the most efficient method was to steal their account, and arranging an offline meeting was just to create an opportunity for the hacker to make contact.
"Heh, you have no idea who I am in real life, do you?" Mushroom Enthusiast replied to the private message instantly with great arrogance. He immediately sent a real-world address and a secret code for the meeting. He also stated he would prepare a large amount of cash to buy gold and financially crush Shen Fei.
As for Shen Fei, he forwarded the message containing the address and secret code to the master hacker the fixer had introduced him to.
"Three million. Hack all his game accounts and make it so he can't log into any game for two weeks," Shen Fei stated his demands after transferring three million to the master hacker. "If he creates a new game account, hack that one too! When it's done, I'll give you another five million!"
"Received!" the master hacker's reply was concise.
They had a team that included not only computer experts, but also surveillance experts and master detectives. Shen Fei's request was all too easy for them. It was just stealing an account, not murder. A piece of cake.
"Immortal Emperor…"
Having dealt with the Mushroom Enthusiast matter, Shen Fei rubbed his chin and looked at the other famous figure from the future. This person's experience was laughable. In the Cultivation Game, even Mahayana Stage players, who were weaker than an Immortal Emperor, were honored guests in the Base Cities. But because he didn't make a choice, the originally all-powerful Immortal Emperor was ultimately reduced to a plaything—one shared by many people at that. It was all just so ridiculous. The fact that he ultimately chose suicide was truly a pity.
At this moment, seeing him send a message saying he wanted to test his Krypton Gold strength, Shen Fei suddenly smiled. Without a second thought, he sent the Immortal Emperor a message: "Follow if you want!"
He was going to continue topping up anyway, and he wanted to see if this Immortal Emperor would actually follow. If, because of his influence, the Immortal Emperor ended up inheriting from the tower defense game, that would be acceptable. If he still went down his original path, there was nothing Shen Fei could do about it. He was just making a casual move on the board.
WHOOSH.
After that one message to the Immortal Emperor, Shen Fei ignored his subsequent messages and switched his screen to the game forum. Because he had been paying attention to the messages from the Immortal Emperor and Mushroom Enthusiast, he also saw the situation regarding himself on the world channel. He knew now that his top-up records had been exposed.
This small company's security is terrible!
Seeing screenshots of his transaction history on the game forum, Shen Fei understood that there was an internal problem at the game company. Even though he had left a message last time, it clearly hadn't gotten the company's attention. Or rather, the game company still hadn't found the specific culprit.
"Give me an explanation!"
After sending the transaction screenshots from the forum to the game company through the dedicated VIP channel and adding his demand, Shen Fei went back to merging his towers. His money was all from legitimate sources; it didn't come from shady channels like corruption. Even if his massive top-ups were exposed, he wasn't too worried.
I used my own money to top up in a game. Is there a problem? Is that not allowed? Is it illegal?
Although the small company's security was terrible and his account information had been exposed, he had no plans to switch games. After all, he had already topped up nearly four hundred million. Moreover, with "Taiyi Zhenren" as an example, it was proven that things from this tower defense game could be inherited. He didn't want to change anything randomly and cause some unforeseen situation.
WHOOSH.
WHOOSH.
WHOOSH.
Having quickly dealt with three matters, Shen Fei continued merging towers. Because of his Tower Master equipment, his Defense Tower limit had increased to 612, and he had empty slots again.
