[DING!]

[Game Ability Inheritance, Day Two Begins!]

[In five seconds, a second round of Game Ability Inheritance will commence based on your previous or a randomly selected project!]

[Calculated based on game expenditure, today marks the second phase of inheritance: expenditure of 6 yuan (including monthly cards, skins, game purchases, etc.). All players who have spent more than 6 yuan may inherit an additional 5% of their selected game abilities.]

[For players who have spent less than 6 yuan, inheritance for this project is now concluded! A new project will be available for inheritance in six days!]

[In one day, the third phase of Game Ability Inheritance will begin: expenditure of 88 yuan, 50% ability inheritance...]

[DING!]

[Version 4.1 update detected. Related rules are now evolving at an accelerated rate!]

Lines of text appeared on the panels of the Game Ability Inheritors. Looking at the words on their panels, some were thrilled, some were happy, and some were frustrated. As for the older generation, like Father Shen and Mrs. Shen, their feelings were even more complex...

At the moment the game abilities were inherited once more, the entire world fell silent. Aside from the bridges, steel cables, and other structures that shattered as the Earth expanded again, the whole planet seemed to fall still for over ten seconds. Only after those ten-plus seconds did new roars and rumbles begin to rise from the Earth once again.

.

Just like his family, after midnight struck, Shen Fei focused his full attention on his panel:

[Confirmed Inheritance Game: Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms]

[Confirmed Inheritance Account: Skyrocketing!]

[Expenditure Detected: Over 1,000,000!]

[Second Game Ability Inheritance!]

[Inheriting from game: Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms!]

[Inheritance Project: Defense Towers!]

[Game Ability Inheritance in progress...]

[...]

[Second Game Ability Inheritance complete!]

[Acquired 31 Defense Towers!]

[Total Defense Towers: 62 Tenth Tier Defense Towers.]

.

"Hooo..." Looking at the information that appeared on his panel, Shen Fei let out a long breath. Finally, it didn’t get stuck this time. The inheritance went smoothly. Just as he had guessed, he successfully inherited 31 Defense Towers.

Well... still no Teleportation Gate Tower or Mind Control Tower... Seeing that most of the 31 newly inherited Defense Towers were Element-type, like wind, rain, and fire, Shen Fei couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. The ones he had been hoping for—the Teleportation Gate Tower, which could teleport things over long distances, and the Mind Control Tower, which could control game bosses and even NPCs—still hadn’t appeared.

Oh well. Since the ability inheritance hadn’t gone as he’d wished, Shen Fei lifted his gaze to his family. He had received his second wave, so of course, his family members beside him had all inherited new abilities as well.

"I inherited a [Soldier] piece and a [Cannon] piece!" Seeing Shen Fei’s gaze, Father Shen was the first to speak.

This was different from last time, when the 5% rate meant it was possible to inherit either one or two pieces. This time, with a cumulative rate of 10%, it was guaranteed that one’s total number of inherited pieces out of the 32 would now reach three. Father Shen had inherited two new pieces this time: one [Soldier] and one [Cannon].

.

[Piece: Cannon]

[Quality: Gold]

[Skills: Firing the Cannon, Straight Line, Chain Cannon]

[Range: 5 km (Can be increased by relevant game items)]

[Straight Line: Can move rapidly along flat, straight paths with no obstructions (within range).]

[Firing the Cannon: Can fire a golden cannonball. When there is a ’mount’ in between, there is a chance of a one-hit kill on the target.]

[Chain Cannon: When two Cannons combine in Fusion, their power increases tenfold.]

[Note 1: Possesses the instinct to guard the General and Marshal.]

.

He had already seen the Attributes of the [Soldier] piece yesterday at Uncle Sun’s, so Shen Fei directly inspected the Attributes of his father’s [Cannon] piece.

The Firing the Cannon skill? This description of its damage value and one-hit kill chance is a bit vague, isn’t it? Looking at the [Cannon] piece’s attribute description, doubt surfaced in Shen Fei’s mind. He understood that since the Game Ability Inheritance had just begun, the system of rules was still being perfected and corrected, and the quantified version hadn’t been implemented yet. Therefore, many of the descriptions were not yet clear, seeming a bit vague and imprecise...

"What about Uncle Sun?" After looking at his father’s pieces, Shen Fei turned to Uncle Sun.

"Two pieces. One is a Chariot, the other is a Soldier," Uncle Sun said, nodding as he took out two chess pieces.

Holy crap... There are 32 pieces in a game of Chinese Chess. With a 10% inheritance rate, that’s about 3.2, so you’d most likely inherit a total of three pieces. Shen Fei hadn’t expected Uncle Sun’s luck to be so good. He had inherited two pieces yesterday, and now he had inherited another two today. With a 10% rate yielding 3.2 pieces, Uncle Sun had somehow inherited a total of four. Amazing!

In a set of Chinese Chess, there are a total of four Soldier pieces. In the second wave, Uncle Sun had inherited another Soldier. Including the one Father Shen just got, there were now four [Soldier] pieces among them. He, Sun Yu, Father Shen, and Uncle Sun could each have one. Although Shen Fei had decided not to leave the villa complex, he was more than happy to have a Golden Guardian that could follow him around 24/7 for protection.

While congratulating Uncle Sun, Shen Fei picked up the ’Chariot’ piece to inspect its Attributes:

.

[Piece: Chariot] 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

[Quality: Gold]

[Skills: High-Speed Dash, God-Slayer]

[High-Speed Dash: Can carry passengers and fly at a low altitude of 1,000 km/h. When the path is straight and unobstructed, its speed can be substantially increased.]

[God-Slayer: Has a chance to one-hit kill any unit it collides with along its path.]

[Note 1: Possesses the instinct to guard the General and Marshal.]

.

Makes sense! It really is a powerful Chariot! Looking at the Chariot piece’s Attributes, Shen Fei nodded repeatedly. The High-Speed Dash reached 1,000 km/h, faster than a regular commercial airliner. And when the path was straight, that speed could increase even further. Clearly, having the Chariot piece would make many operations much more convenient.

A moment later, it was decided that Uncle Sun would be the holder of the Chariot piece. Uncle Sun’s profession was a driver. He was a veteran driver with decades of experience, having been a military vehicle operator in the army since he was a teenager. It was a perfect fit. Never driven something this fast? He’ll get the hang of it with some practice...

.

ROAR—!!

Just as he was about to check the newly inherited abilities of the other three, a furious roar echoed from outside the villa.

SWOOSH!

Instantly activating the Detection Tower, Shen Fei saw a gruesome, flayed monster appear on the lawn of the neighboring villa. With the second wave of Game Ability Inheritance, new game monsters had arrived in the real world. Although Shen Fei had already cleared out all the players with evil classes within a five-kilometer radius—and those who had died couldn’t receive the second inheritance—the invasion of monsters from the games was unstoppable.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Seeing the monster shaking its head to recover and preparing to go on a rampage, Shen Fei directly controlled the Vine Tower to bind it and drag it underground.

Within a five-kilometer radius, monsters are forbidden! This was the decision he had made earlier.
