Chapter 294 - 155: Fully Armed, Insta-Killing Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses
A torrent of disbelieving cries erupted. Just moments before, a player who had been specifically gathering intel on Shen Fei pointed out that he had only deployed 100 Defense Towers in the first two rounds of combat. Now, through the omniscient spectator view, they could see that Shen Fei was surrounded by 612 Defense Towers...
"I’m the owner of the *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* game company! In this game, the maximum number of Defense Towers you can summon at max level is exactly 612! He only had one hundred out before because of the restriction on freely moving Defense Towers! Just now, when the third round started, that restriction was lifted...."
A member of the Heaven-Reaching Gang in the crowd slowly explained this.
A moment ago, many *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* players had seen the restriction on moving Defense Towers get lifted, but not many people could deploy all of their Defense Towers like Shen Fei. This was because most people hadn’t brought all their Defense Towers with them. Take Huang Yi, for example! Although the limit on the number of Defense Towers he could place was just lifted, he had only brought 50 Defense Towers into the Secret Realm. His other Defense Towers were still back in the real-world Divine Capital, unable to be moved. Because of this, the one who benefited most from this rule change was Shen Fei, who carried his entire set of Defense Towers with him.
"What??"
"You’re saying his previous Combat Power wasn’t even Brother Feitian’s final form?"
"What??"
"He took first place in the solo and team competitions, and he was still hiding his true Combat Power??"
The game company owner’s explanation, far from clearing up the confusion, only sent an even greater shockwave through the crowd. What kind of god is this guy?! You beat everyone before, and that wasn’t even your strongest form?! You’re not a human player! You have to be an NPC or a Super Boss!!
The stunned crowd gasped, quickly turning their gazes back to the battle, because someone else was charging at Shen Fei to kill him.
...
[Ding!]
[You have slain an Intelligent NPC and obtained all of its points!]
[Ding!]
[Special Competition Points +917]
Inside the Secret Realm, after slaying Divine King Tang San, Shen Fei’s Special Competition points instantly increased by over nine hundred. The NPC Divine King Tang San had killed a group of people while Shen Fei watched and had likely earned points from other kills before that. As a result, Shen Fei reaped a nearly four-digit sum of points in one go.
A little low...
During the first round of the solo competition, his personal points had reached thirteen trillion. Now, seeing this new gain of less than a thousand points, Shen Fei let out a soft chuckle.
Soon, he turned his attention to the 612 Defense Towers that had just unleashed a Cluster Attack. Compared to the Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers, the powerful Cluster Attack from 612 Defense Towers was even more silent, untraceable, and imperceptible. Before Tang San could even react, it had silently and directly blown him to pieces.
Reasonable!
After determining that the Cluster Attack from 612 Defense Towers was roughly as powerful as the attack from 500 towers buffed by the [Array Flag], Shen Fei felt confident. After all, the 612 Defense Towers weren’t the only assets he had at his disposal. And since 612 Defense Towers could instantly kill a mid-tier NPC Divine King, he now had a preliminary estimate of his own strength.
Bring it on!!
The moment he understood his own power, Shen Fei stopped holding back. He instantly activated his Detection Towers, extended their range, and sent out his detection scans in all directions without concealment.
SWISH!
Sure enough, upon sensing Shen Fei’s detection scans, numerous NPCs who were still hunting for human players charged directly toward him. These special contestants had mostly not yet begun to compete with each other. These Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses had intellects on par with humans. Unless they encountered someone much weaker than themselves, they prioritized picking on the weak. And the power level that others could sense from Shen Fei made him seem like the softest target of all...
SWISH!
SWISH!
SWISH!
Almost the instant Shen Fei’s Detection Towers sent out their scans, four NPCs, none weaker than Divine King Tang San, rushed over.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Unfortunately for them, though they were eager to claim his points, they didn’t even get close before four rapidly fired attacks blew them to smithereens. Amidst a series of dings, the four NPCs entered the special dimension and found themselves staring blankly at Divine King Tang San.
[Ding!]
[Special Competition Points +1,918]
[Ding!]
[Special Competition Points +4,312]
[Ding!]
[Special Competition Points +1,278]
[Ding!]
[Special Competition Points +2,290]
As for Shen Fei, he had simply and swiftly obtained a few more points...
WHOOSH!
Having once again tested his Invincible instant-kill power, Shen Fei’s Detection Towers scanned even farther. And then, his rate of acquiring points became even faster.
...
"What!!"
"Weren’t all humans outside the special zones supposed to be weaklings? Weren’t we just supposed to wait quietly for the zones to open and then go harvest them?"
"Are you sure this is a human from the outside??"
"This can’t be an NPC in disguise, can it? Trying to pull an Old Six on us??"
In the special dimension, the newly killed NPCs wore looks of utter disbelief. Although they didn’t know Divine King Tang San, Zhang Xiaofan, or the others, and weren’t from the same special zone, it didn’t change the fact that they were all on the same side. Shen Fei’s power had completely blown their minds!
"Shut up!"
"Just watch!!"
Unfortunately, his shocked outburst received no answers. All he got in response were the cold faces of Tang San and Zhang Xiaofan.
To think there was such a powerful player among the humans... Even they, the NPCs who had been sitting comfortably in their special zones, were now starting to panic. More importantly, they recalled that once they left this Secret Realm, their memories of it...
