Chapter 360 - 166: The Global Monster Tide Ends, an Unparalleled Great Harvest
However, not right now. After all, this might expose her Succubus ability. The longer I can put off telling them, the better.
"Oh, right! When are you going to save Dad? The monster tide is over now!" Prompted by Xiaohong, Shen Yue couldn’t help but ask.
Earlier, when their father was forced onto that mission, Shen Yue had been so upset she’d burst into tears. She only calmed down after Shen Fei comforted her, promising he would go rescue him. Now that the major event of the monster tide was over, Shen Yue was eager to see her father as soon as possible.
"Soon. Once versions 4.3 and 4.4 are updated..." Seeing his mother also listening intently after his sister’s question, Shen Fei answered directly. His father’s five-man mission was scheduled to last 168 hours, and less than ten had passed so far. In the early stages of the mission, the danger would surely be lower. Shen Fei’s plan was to wait until after the version 4.3 and 4.4 updates before going. After all, the full release of 4.1 and 4.2 had caused such a massive stir. With the 4.3 and 4.4 updates on the way, he wanted to confirm the new information before he left.
"Okay, fine. Then... the Scroll..." Having gotten her answer, Shen Yue was back to asking for things.
"No!" Shen Fei rejected his sister’s request flat out. Always making a fuss. Does she think she can get whatever she asks for?
"Hmph!" Seeing her brother’s firm refusal, Shen Yue stomped her foot angrily.
"Mom, I’m heading out. Don’t wait for me for dinner!"
Ignoring his sister’s pouting, Shen Fei immediately summoned a Teleportation Array. After nodding to Xiaohong, he left directly.
TAP.
Sulking, Shen Yue didn’t expect a Scroll to land on her head the moment the Teleportation Gate closed.
"Ah! A Scroll!!"
Before he left, Shen Fei had tossed a Scroll to Shen Yue after all. She was his only sister, after all...

WHOOSH.
The world blurred before his eyes, and Shen Fei appeared on the city walls of [Yang City].
WHOOSH.
Another blur, and Shen Fei used the Teleportation Array in [Yang City] to arrive on the walls of Songhai’s [Ye City].
WHOOSH.
Appearing on the walls of Ye City, he nodded to the director of the Songhai Tourism Management Office and Ma Bangde, the director of the Hang City Tourism Management Office. He had just been communicating with both of them.
Shen Fei then summoned his own Teleportation Gate Tower.
He was going to Hang City. He had to go there and see for himself what was going on with the boss that had broken through a Neutral City, occupied it, and apparently gained intelligence. After returning home and taking stock of his spoils from the monster tide, Shen Fei had been pondering the issue of NPCs and bosses gaining intelligence. A boss that had successfully conquered a Neutral City had actually put down roots there and been granted intelligence—this was something he absolutely had to investigate. After communicating with Ma Bangde and the others for a little while longer, he decided to go check it out in person.
WHOOSH.
The world blurred, and Shen Fei appeared in a location between Hang City and Songhai. Without the range bonus from his teammates’ Defense Towers, he couldn’t teleport all the way to Hang City in one go. However, a few more jumps would get him there.
Stepping out of the Teleportation Gate, he remotely recalled the Teleportation Gate Tower from the Songhai city wall—a simple task, since he could summon his towers anywhere within range. Then, he placed the Teleportation Gate Tower at his feet once more.
WHOOSH.
The world blurred again. Before Shen Fei’s eyes, the occupied Neutral City appeared—Hang City’s other one, [Lin’an].
"It really has completely changed!" Recalling the Teleportation Gate Tower again, he gazed at the transformed small city of [Lin’an], his brow furrowing instantly. This city was truly occupied by monsters. The changes were enormous.
