「The next day.」

Shen Fei woke at the crack of dawn. He had played the game until five or six in the morning, getting only an hour of sleep before waking up.

Today was the first full day after the game’s inheritance. Although world-shaking events had occurred last night, it had been dark, making many operations inconvenient. Now, daylight had finally arrived, and all sorts of things were beginning to happen...

"Emergency broadcast!"

"Emergency broadcast!"

"Emergency broadcast!"

Shen Fei’s family of four was eating breakfast. Uncle Sun and Sun Yu were also sitting at the table. The television on the dining room wall was broadcasting all sorts of emergency news:

"On Australian Island, a Kun-shaped creature several kilometers long flew over a city, ignoring a sky full of missile bombardments!"

"In Brazil, a world-ending python a kilometer long destroyed a city. After devouring tens of thousands of people, it slowly departed amidst the explosions of several nuclear bombs!"

"Outside Songhai City, the sea level has risen by several meters, and countless massive, dark shadows have appeared in the water..."

On the television, breaking news reports flashed one after another. Unlike Xia Country, which had been shrouded in darkness, many foreign countries were in daylight when the game descended. It was impossible to hide the various anomalies...

"According to reliable calculations, the Earth is expanding. Countless fissures will form and widen in the blink of an eye. Please avoid going outdoors if possible..."

"The government has urgently established the ’Game Inheritor Administration Bureau.’ The Bureau is now recruiting on a large scale. Anyone who has inherited game abilities can apply. Official positions are available..."

The death toll from last night was high, but in the face of a chaotic, changing world, obituaries and memorials were simply not a priority. All sorts of more urgent news had already taken over the remaining television channel resources.

After breakfast, Shen Fei summarized the news reports. The major events could be divided into three main categories:

First, all kinds of super-creatures had appeared around the globe. Besides a few scattered, colossal bosses, things like beast tides, corpse tides, and insect tides had also formed in many places.

Shen Fei understood. These Super Bosses appeared because someone had randomly inherited the "Other" category from the game, causing these bosses to manifest early. As for the beast tides, corpse tides, and the like, they were due to the early update of version 4.1...

The second matter was the establishment of Xia Country’s Tourism Management Office and its recruitment drive.

Of course, Shen Fei knew about this organization. In his previous life, as game abilities continued to be inherited, the Earth continued to expand, and super NPC organizations from the game began to appear. As a result, the authority of this Game Inheritor Administration Bureau would grow weaker and weaker. He remembered that in his previous life, the Tourism Management Office only seemed to have accomplished something significant in Fanghu Cave Heaven of the Divine Capital, one of the ten great Base Cities. But now, seeing the propaganda about getting an "official position" just for joining, Shen Fei knew this Tourism Management Office would definitely cause a lot of discussion. At least for the time being.

The third matter concerned Tower Masters.

He hadn’t expected that just because he had made a small move at the airport last night, the Tower Master class had already become popular in less than a day since the game inheritance, thanks to the publicity from other Tower Master players.

Setting aside the drawbacks—that Tower Masters themselves are relatively weak and their Defense Towers can’t be easily moved—the powerful, high-frequency attacks of a Defense Tower, which required no resources and had no cooldown, provided immense strength for establishing human shelters. This alone was enough for many people to see the potential of Tower Masters.

Even in the Tourism Management Office’s recruitment notice, they specifically emphasized that Tower Masters would be given priority. There was even talk of Tower Masters receiving enhanced positions upon joining.

"AHEM!"

Everyone was eating with heavy hearts while watching the TV when suddenly, Father Shen coughed lightly.

"Um..." Seeing he had everyone’s attention, Father Shen began to speak slowly, "We have to join this Tourism Management Office! After all, it’s an official organization! The person organizing the Qing City branch of the Tourism Management Office is an old army buddy of mine. He already sent me a message inviting us to join! Our family must send someone!"

WHOOSH.

At Father Shen’s words, everyone looked at each other in stunned silence. Shen Fei’s expression was blank. Shen Yue’s eyes darted around. Sun Yu looked at Shen Fei, his expression clearly showing he would follow his big brother’s lead.

"That’s right! The director organizing it was our comrade—we were even in the same squad!" When the three juniors remained silent, Uncle Sun chimed in.

Joining the so-called Tourism Management Office was, of course, a matter for the younger generation. "Old men" like him and Father Shen wouldn’t be joining in on the excitement...

"Who’s going? It’s not like our family needs an official position, right?" Finally, his little sister, Shen Yue, spoke up.

The most popular Tower Master online was something her big brother had pulled off. Having stayed up all night investigating, Shen Yue already knew how powerful her brother was. She had no interest whatsoever in joining the so-called Tourism Management Office.

"Having the Tourism Management Office’s backing to get firsthand information and intelligence is still a good thing!" Father Shen tried to persuade her.

"The internet has everything..." Shen Yue muttered. Then, seeing the look in her father’s eyes, she immediately shot back a question, "How did that Tourism Management Office know our family inherited game abilities? Why did they invite us? Dad, was it you who told them?"

Sensing that her father was about to scold her, Shen Yue went on the offensive first.

"Does anyone even need to be told that our family inherited game abilities? Don’t you know what kind of reputation your brother has out there?" Hearing Shen Yue’s question, Father Shen rolled his eyes.

"What are you talking about! My son has been very well-behaved this past month!" Mrs. Shen slapped Father Shen’s shoulder.

She had figured it out. Father Shen and Uncle Sun’s old army buddy also knew about Shen Fei’s obsessive gaming habits from before. That’s why he contacted them right after the game inheritance.

"Well, I still don’t think my brother should go!" Shen Yue muttered again.

"Why?" Father Shen asked curiously.

"Because... because my brother is our trump card! He’s the family’s trump card! How can we just send him out so easily!" Shen Yue stated her reasoning, knowing the organizer of the Tourism Management Office’s Qing City branch had invited them because he guessed her brother, Shen Fei, had inherited game abilities.

"That makes sense... In that case..." Frowning in thought for a moment, Father Shen looked toward Shen Yue and Sun Yu.

Indeed, the one in the family who had inherited the strongest game ability seemed to be his son, Shen Fei. He had also witnessed his son’s decisive and ruthless actions last night. As a major businessman, Father Shen also understood the importance of a trump card.

"I’m not going! My frog is just for show; I don’t have any real abilities!" Seeing her father looking at her, Shen Yue shook her head repeatedly.

"I think... you should be the one to go!" Before anyone could react, Shen Yue pointed a finger at Father Shen.

"Me?"

"Yeah, you! Dad, you inherited a game ability too! That Celestial Horse is so strong. You know people online have even given your Golden Celestial Horse a nickname!" Shen Yue replied with a serious expression.

"That could work. Dad, you and Uncle Sun can go. You both inherited game pieces, so you can actually go to the Tourism Management Office!" While the others were still stunned, Shen Fei spoke up.

Of course, he had no interest at all in joining the so-called Tourism Management Office. But his sister Shen Yue’s argument for their father to go was acceptable. With a chaotic era approaching, it was necessary for his father and Uncle Sun to get more exposure to related matters. It wasn’t about having them dig up some inside information. It was about letting them experience the new world for themselves...

"Alright, it’s settled then! It’s very suitable! You guys inherited abilities, so you should interact more with other young people who also inherited abilities!" Seeing her father was about to say something else, Shen Yue immediately cut him off.

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

A few minutes later, Father Shen and Uncle Sun, each holding a golden "Soldier" game piece, went to attend the formation of the so--called Tourism Management Office. The Golden Celestial Horse piece was too famous, so in the end, under Shen Fei’s arrangement, Father Shen and Uncle Sun each took a "Soldier" piece and left the residential complex.

The location of the Tourism Management Office wasn’t more than 5km from the Shen family’s villa, so Shen Fei let his father and Uncle Sun leave without worry.

"I have to go out for a bit, too. You all stay home and behave!" After Father Shen and Uncle Sun left, Mrs. Shen also prepared to leave after taking a phone call.

"It’s about the neighborhood! The community is forming a self-defense force. I’m with the Women’s Federation, so I have to go participate!" After explaining to the three juniors, Mrs. Shen quickly left. In the villa district where the Shen family lived, many community workers had also sprung into action after daybreak, preparing for self-rescue.

"Bro!"

"Bro!"

"Hehehe!!"

With all three elders gone, Shen Yue suddenly turned to her older brother, Shen Fei, with a mischievous grin.

"Spit it out!"

When Shen Yue had taken the initiative to manipulate their father into joining the Tourism Management Office, Shen Fei knew his sister was up to something. He rolled his eyes at the grinning Shen Yue.

"Bro, it’s like this! Our school is organizing a rescue team! Bro, you know that best friend of mine I showed you last time? She’s an absolute treasure of a girl—big boobs, nice butt! I was thinking, since it’s the apocalypse and all, I should introduce you to a sister-in-law! So I want you to come with me to school!" Shen Yue said quickly.

The school was gathering people this time, and for her best friend’s safety, Shen Yue had to go. However, that suitor of hers, Qiao Shan, was too annoying. He was some high-level player from the game *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*. Her own inherited ability, the giant frog, was still too weak. To avoid being bothered at school, Shen Yue wanted her big brother to go with her. This was also why she had just tricked her father into joining the Tourism Management Office.

Although Shen Yue didn’t know the true extent of her brother’s abilities, she could make a rough guess based on the shock from players online. She felt that with her brother there to back her up, that Qiao Shan wouldn’t dare be too presumptuous in front of her...

"The truth!" Seeing Shen Yue’s darting eyes, Shen Fei tapped her on the head.

"Ah! Well..." Under Shen Fei’s gaze, Shen Yue finally told him everything.

"Rank 148 on the Combat Power leaderboard?" Hearing it was all because of a player ranked 148th on the *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* Combat Power leaderboard, Shen Fei was rendered speechless.

I’ll just have Yu go.

A player ranked 148th on the Combat Power leaderboard, who was also his sister’s suitor, and was being fawned over by everyone at her school. Shen Fei was just speechless.

Nodding, he had Sun Yu, a "pro gamer" ranked 18th on the Combat Power leaderboard, accompany his sister to school.

Soon, his sister and Sun Yu had also left. Only Shen Fei remained, left alone to guard the villa.
