"What?!"
Shen Fei froze.
"Isn't my dad still in Qing City? Why is Uncle Sun on a business trip?" he asked, shocked. As his father's driver, Uncle Sun was always with him. It simply didn't make sense for his dad to be in Qing City while Uncle Sun was away on a trip.
"He said a new car arrived, some special model Rolls-Royce, and he insisted on going to pick it up himself..." Yu answered quickly. It all happened so suddenly; there was nothing he could do.
"Stop him! Don't let him go!" Shen Fei demanded immediately.
The world's about to end, and he's worried about a new car? You can't be serious! What's next, a new bicycle? He needs to stay home and not run around.
In the early days of the game's integration, the entire world would be thrown into total chaos.
"He's already on the plane... I can't reach him..."
Unfortunately, Sun Yu's words dashed Shen Fei's hopes.
"Then keep trying to contact him! The moment you get through, tell him to come back immediately!"
Resigned, Shen Fei could only make this suggestion.
Thankfully, there's still over a day before the game's invasion. He should be able to make it back...
The global chaos would begin with the game's invasion. After tonight, it would mostly be shock and commotion.
"Okay!" Yu replied instantly.
WHOOSH—
After finishing his conversation with Yu, Shen Fei's gaze finally turned to the game screen.
She's max level! And she brought back a group of fellow Fox Ming women?
Staring at the game screen, Shen Fei saw the new Attributes for his butler, Sky Control.
She had returned from her travels, her level raised to the maximum. Her Combat Power had also increased tremendously. More importantly, Shen Fei discovered that she had also brought back a group of followers, like subjects to a ruler.
[Name: Sky Control]
[Race: Fox Ming Race]
[Talent: Orange (Max)]
[Loyalty: Diehard (Max)]
[Tier: Ninth Tier (Max)]
[Skills: Sky Control +10, Fox Charm +10, Defense Tower Series +10, Rapid Fire +10, Check for Gaps and Fill Them +10]
[Talents: Eye of Insight, Deft Hands, Power of Command]
[Crystal: Rainbow Carrot (Special)]
[Defense Towers: Tenth-Tier Defense Tower x256]
[Followers: Fox Ming Race Maiden x18]
[Combat Power: 45,283,619]
[Note 1: If the Crystal shatters or the Master dies, Sky Control will die instantly!]
[Note 2: Aura-type skills can be shared between the Tower Master and the butler.]
Compared to before, Sky Control's Attributes had completely changed. Her level had become the highest possible: Ninth Tier. All her skills had received a +10 Enhancement. Her number of Talents went from one to three. The number of Defense Towers had increased to 256, and they were all Tenth-Tier.
Besides the increase in her previous stats, a new attribute field had been added—Followers.
He had no idea where Sky Control had gotten them. In any case, she was now accompanied by eighteen new Fox Ming Race maidens.
And with these Attribute boosts, Sky Control's total Combat Power had reached over forty-five million. This was a full four times more than "Taiyi Zhenren," the player ranked second on the Combat Power Leaderboard.
A single subordinate Hero had higher Combat Power than other players' main characters. She was truly worthy of being the super "butler" Shen Fei had spent over a hundred million to create.
WHOOSH—
WHOOSH—
WHOOSH—
After reviewing Sky Control's max-level Attributes, Shen Fei began to act quickly.
First, he moved the home Secret Realm—which Sky Control had operational authority over—onto the Floating Island.
WHOOSH—
As the home realm merged with the Floating Island, the once-empty central lawn was suddenly filled with all sorts of buildings, trees, and small hills.
WHOOSH—
Instantly, Sky Control appeared on the Floating Island. She was dressed in green robes, with a pair of fluffy fox ears and a radiant face.
Shen Fei quickly granted permissions for the Floating Island to Sky Control.
This way, Sky Control could help him build up the Floating Island. Furthermore, her Defense Towers could now be placed in the tower slots on the Floating Island. When he wasn't around, Sky Control could also control the Floating Island to launch attacks and automatically run dungeons.
WHOOSH—
WHOOSH—
WHOOSH—
As Sky Control and her home realm were placed, a group of Fox Race maidens also appeared on the Floating Island. These were Sky Control's followers.
"Hm?" Just as Shen Fei was about to take Sky Control to run a few dungeons to test her strength and make some other adjustments, he froze again.
He saw that his "Enlarge and Reduce" skill could actually be used on Sky Control.
He cast the skill to enlarge the merged Black Tortoise and Floating Island, giving Sky Control more room to maneuver. That's when he discovered that Sky Control had been enlarged along with them.
What the hell...
The "Enlarge and Reduce" skill, which could be used on any of his possessions—a skill he had carefully selected from tens of thousands of options—could actually be used on his Hero.
This is so damn freaky!
After fiddling with it a couple more times, Shen Fei confirmed that he could really make Sky Control grow and shrink, just like Ant-Man.
Perfectly logical!
This new discovery made Shen Fei marvel at how incredible the skill was. This effect was extremely beneficial for him. When the Floating Island got bigger, Sky Control also got bigger, making it easier for her to operate it. And when the Floating Island shrank, Sky Control shrank with it. This meant he could bring Sky Control along for certain stealth attacks and ambushes.
His intangible Combat Power received another massive boost thanks to this change with Sky Control!
This ability might not be very useful in the game. But if the game integrates with reality, this ability would be Invincible!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Just as he was about to take Sky Control into a Secret Realm or challenge the Heaven-Reaching Tower, there was a sudden knock on his door.
"Son, come out and go to the supermarket with me!" his mother's voice sounded from the other side of the door.
"Uh... okay!"
Hearing that his sister, Shen Yue, was with his mother too, a resigned Shen Fei could only set Sky Control to auto-run dungeons before logging out of the game and heading out.
"Come take a walk with me! Let's go out for a bit! We'll go to the supermarket together!" his mother said when he appeared.
The Shen family didn't need Mrs. Shen to go grocery shopping herself. However, her son had been resting for a week, cooped up in his bedroom every day, and she wanted to take him out for some fresh air. Going to the supermarket was just an excuse.
"Let's go!"
Hearing his mother's words, Shen Fei nodded and followed. He couldn't really refuse his mother. More importantly, it occurred to him that they truly needed to stock up on some supplies for when the apocalypse began. Although they wouldn't lack things like food after his mother inherited her golden land, they should still have some reserves to get through the initial period of chaos.
"Bro, what are you doing?! We're just going shopping, not stocking a warehouse!"
A few minutes later, Shen Yue was floored. She watched her brother, Shen Fei, get into the family's large pickup truck. He even told her to drive their biggest SUV.
Just how much is he planning to buy? Taking two cars to haul things from the supermarket?
"In two days, I'm participating in a charity event. I'm just buying all the stuff for it in one go!" Shen Fei replied casually.
In any case, he was determined to buy a lot this time.
"Is that so? Is this also what you're going to announce tonight?" A doubtful expression appeared on Shen Yue's face.
"Why all the questions? Just drive!" Shen Fei tapped Shen Yue on the head and started the pickup.
"Hey! You'll make me stupid!" Shen Yue shrieked, stomping her foot before getting into the other SUV with her mother.
