Chapter 421 - 176: Taking Stock of the Gains, The Storm Gathers Anew, Oceanic Anomaly
"This is rather amazing!"
As Shen Fei watched the game character he was controlling—also dressed as a merchant from Shurima—he was reminded of something. He recalled when he had entered the Game World in his physical body, wearing the exact same disguise to blend in.
WHOOSH!
Through the game character’s perspective, Shen Fei saw a completely different Piltover. He had slain this world’s most powerful people, the miracle of the Storm’s Fury had appeared once more, and Gana’s Divine Power was rapidly recovering. As a result, even though Shen Fei and the others had only been gone for a few hours, news had spread far and wide, drastically changing all of Piltover and Zu’an.
The scene was so different that it shocked even the players who recognized this as the League of Legends universe’s Game World and were controlling their characters based on memories of the original game. The scene before them was completely different from the Piltover and Zu’an they remembered.
"Find Gana, Fury of the Storm!"
Seeing the confused expressions on the three people beside him, Shen Fei had no intention of explaining. More and more people would soon learn of the changes within the Game World, and he couldn’t be bothered to explain a scene like this.
WHOOSH!
Under Shen Fei’s command, the controlled game character moved quickly between Piltover and Zu’an. Finally, in Piltover’s largest plaza, they saw Gana through the screen. She was floating in the center of the plaza, wielding her power, with masses of worshippers kneeling all around her.
WHOOSH!
On the screen, he saw Gana holding [Zu’an’s Kiss]—an item identical to the one in his own hands.
"It really is the same one!"
"The Game Worlds have truly connected!"
"So it was all true!"
Seeing Gana flying in the air, her power having clearly risen another level, Shen Fei’s eyes lit up. Without hesitating, he activated the ability of the Divine Artifact in his hand through the screen—the one that allowed the main body and its Divine Artifact Avatar to sense each other.
It’s not working?
Half a minute later, Shen Fei, who had been forcefully trying to activate the Divine Artifact, hadn’t sensed any location or feedback at all. Even through the screen, he and the Divine Artifact Avatar hadn’t established the slightest connection.
So I have to use Black Spade A to create a bug? Otherwise, under normal circumstances, is there no way for reality and the Game World to connect?
The failed test with the Divine Artifact confirmed a theory for Shen Fei. Aside from being actively pulled into a Game World by its own rules, it was otherwise impossible to enter through any other channel. At least, not at the moment. The only exception would be using the super-item capable of creating bugs: Black Spade A.
"Alright! This Game World is very important! Study it carefully! Good work!"
Shen Fei wasn’t at all discouraged that his test to re-enter the Game World had failed. It made sense that it failed. It would have been truly bizarre if it had succeeded that easily. This was a matter of two different dimensions, after all!
Previously, he had been able to successfully enter the Game World not only because of the Divine Artifact’s power and the bug’s power, but also due to another important factor: Father Shen and the others had entered the Game World first, causing certain rules to accept the entry of human players. Now that Father Shen and the others had all logged out, trying to enter the Game World again wouldn’t be so simple.
WHOOSH!
He patted the shoulder of the person controlling the character, offering a word of comfort, then gave Sun Yu a meaningful look and quickly departed.
Sun Yu immediately followed him out after catching his look. "Bro!" he asked hurriedly.
His older brother Shen Fei had claimed to be busy, yet he’d quickly sought out Sun Yu to check on this character whose Game World had supposedly been "invaded." He had then stood by for several hours, just watching the character travel. Now that the character had reached their destination, Sun Yu, who knew his brother well, could see he wasn’t happy at all. He hurried after him, wanting to ask what was wrong. Then he heard his older brother’s instructions:
"You just saw it. Countless Game Worlds are now directly connected to each other! That League of Legends Game World we just saw, where Gana, Fury of the Storm, has recovered her Divine Power, is very special! Keep a close eye on it! Pay special attention to the Divine Artifact in Gana’s hand, the [Zu’an’s Kiss]! Also, check the spatial tunnels connecting the Game Worlds and see if the Game World of Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms is at the end of one of those passages. If you find the Game World of Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms, notify me immediately!"
Swiftly, Shen Fei gave Sun Yu a number of tasks. Then, as Sun Yu acknowledged his orders, Shen Fei left once again.
Sigh... If only I could contact Number 0 to help me fix the server again. Then I could log into the Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms game myself!
As Shen Fei left Sun Yu, a sense of regret surfaced in his mind.
After leaving Sun Yu, Shen Fei returned home. He gave his sister and Xiaohong some instructions before preparing to leave once more. "Xiaohong, while I was away, I met someone named [Succubus’s Tear]. She said she’s coming to Qing City. When you have a moment, contact her and see if she needs any help. Shen Yue, get Qiao Shan and have him contact someone named [Young Master Void]." He had just received messages from both of them.
"Ah! Yes, that’s right!" To Xiaohong and Shen Yue’s surprise, as Shen Fei finished speaking, Father Shen also spoke up. "They’re our friends, so take this seriously!"
"Alright!"
"Alright!"
Faced with this, Xiaohong and Shen Yue had no choice but to agree. Xiaohong, who already knew of [Succubus’s Tear], was completely taken aback that she would be coming to Qing City.
