Chapter 60: Chapter 57: Shock on the Internet: The 2 Billion Whale Is Dead?

"In sorrowful memory of Brother Chongtian!"

"In sorrowful memory of Brother Chongtian!"

"In sorrowful memory of Brother Chongtian!"

Back in his bedroom, Shen Fei turned on his computer. The moment he opened the "Brother Feitian Fan Club" QQ group, countless messages flooded his screen. Thousands of people, in neat formation, were all spamming messages mourning Brother Chongtian.

Scrolling through the messages, Shen Fei realized there had been a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding! Everyone actually thought he was dead!

It had been several hours since the game abilities were inherited, and no one in the entire QQ group had gone to sleep. At first, everyone was in shock about the inheritance of game abilities. Then, they were excited about inheriting game abilities themselves. Finally, everyone started feeling thankful that they had followed Brother Chongtian’s lead and spent money on *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*.

But soon, the numerous fans realized that despite all their chatting, their leader, Brother Chongtian, was nowhere to be seen. After everyone had tried pinging "@Skyrocketing" but received no response, they all started to panic.

Where is our leader, Brother Chongtian? Is he dead? No way!!

When the apocalypse arrived and this chaotic situation began, the first thing people would do was gather information. As long as you were still alive, you would inevitably log onto the internet immediately to collect all sorts of useful information. But after all this time, their leader, Brother Chongtian, just wasn’t coming online. This made many of them panic.

We can’t do this without a leader!

After waiting for several hours, everyone came to the final conclusion: Brother Chongtian was really dead.

Only if he’s dead would he not come online and say nothing. Otherwise, there’s no reason for his silence! This is a special time—the apocalypse has come, and we’ve all inherited our game abilities!

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Shen Fei quickly scrolled through the messages. Finally, he found the cause of his "reported death":

Passerby A: "Brother Chongtian still hasn’t shown up? Can we still form our Heaven-Reaching Gang? I see people are already forming the Immortal Court and the Magic Alliance!"

Auntie, You’re the Best: "Yeah! A buddy of mine inherited firearms from a chicken dinner game. He’s already found a group and joined the Firearms Mutual Aid Society!"

Cao Aman’s Heaven and Sea: "@Skyrocketing, Brother Chongtian! Show yourself!!"

18cm: "Brother Chongtian! Show yourself! How am I supposed to live without you!"

Golden Foot: "I’m just saying, you think Brother Chongtian might have kicked the bucket? A building collapsed in the complex next to ours, heard the casualties were heavy..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"...."

"...."

"...."

With the appearance of that first speculative message, and after many people noticed that Shen Fei still hadn’t appeared, they started to conclude that their backbone, Skyrocketing, might have really met with an accident. Although the group owner, Gun’Er, did his best to maintain order, with the chaotic times descending and all sorts of news flying around, everyone still felt that Brother Chongtian was really dead.

In the group chat, everyone was a Tower Master. They all understood that while Tower Masters had powerful combat abilities, their physical bodies were very weak. A building collapse could potentially one-shot a Tower Master. Although Brother Chongtian was strong, with the first ability inheritance, he would have only inherited a fraction of his power. He most likely wouldn’t be able to withstand a building collapsing like in a magnitude-8 earthquake...

In the group chat, Gun’Er had already done a count. The dozens of people who hadn’t come online were more than likely dead. But what no one expected was that their leader, Brother Chongtian, was apparently among them...

"I’m here!"

He quickly scanned the chat messages, seeing that most people were alive. And seeing that many people were vigilant enough not to have summoned their Defense Towers, Shen Fei smiled and typed two words into the group chat.

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

"!"

"!"

"!"

"!!!!"

As expected, Shen Fei’s single sentence made the QQ group explode. At this moment of game ability inheritance, the entire world had descended into chaos. For this group of players, most of whom had inherited abilities from the tower defense game, their original leader was Shen Fei. This was because Shen Fei had Krypton-Golded over a billion and had previously said that he too had inherited abilities from *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*.

Faced with chaos, faced with the apocalypse, most people’s first reaction was, of course, to latch onto a powerhouse. But they never expected that Shen Fei, who had Krypton-Golded over a billion and was so powerful in the game, had gone missing or even died.

Now, seeing Shen Fei speak, the group chat, which had fallen quiet, instantly exploded! Many players who had been secretly looking for other groups immediately blacklisted the people they had just contacted. With a powerhouse like Shen Fei around—someone who had Krypton-Golded nearly 2 billion and had already maxed out in the game—of course everyone would choose to latch onto him. Not only had this powerhouse spent a ton of money, but he had also inherited abilities from the same type of game as them, creating a natural factional bond and a sense of closeness!

No one was willing to leave as long as Shen Fei was alive...

"Boss! What should we do! Just give us the word!"

"Boss! I’m in Hai City, where are you? I’ll come find you!"

"Boss! The Immortal Court has reportedly recruited tens of thousands of people already, we should recruit too!!"

"Boss! We’re just waiting for you to raise your arm and give the call!"

"Boss!!!! You’re my real brother!!!! If it weren’t for you, I would’ve died tonight! In my neighborhood complex, someone inherited a zoo from a game. That guy walks his dogs without a leash... no, I mean, he walks his animals without a leash! If I hadn’t summoned a Defense Tower, I might have been bitten by a white tiger!"

"What kind of ’white tiger’?"

"Where did it bite you?"

"How did it bite?"

"Boss! I regret it so much!! I regret not being online last night!! I didn’t get to inherit a Defense Tower!"

With Shen Fei’s single sentence, a massive flood of text scrolled by. Countless fans excitedly expressed their feelings to Shen Fei. Some were excited, some were fired up, some were relieved, and still others were filled with regret and helplessness
