Qing City.

On the walls of Yang City.

Shen Fei was pondering what had happened in the Great Chaos Secret Realm. He was also contemplating how the version update and inheritance of game abilities would proceed now that his actions had created a butterfly effect. He never expected that, just a few minutes later, his personal panel would suddenly open on its own, and a series of text notifications would scroll across it.

Aside from their unique effects, the greatest ability of every National Treasure Divine Artifact was to grant an item corresponding to the new version during an update.

Previously, the Version 4.4 update had occurred, but due to an error in the preceding version, it first launched a memory-wiping Great Chaos Secret Realm.

Now that the Great Chaos Secret Realm was over, the [National Fate] settlement for the Divine Artifacts finally began.

Shen Fei currently had four Divine Artifacts in his possession. Apart from Zu’an’s Kiss, which was still unusable due to the Version 4.2 issue, his other three Divine Artifacts had just granted him three Secret Realms.

***

Just what is going on with Number 0?

Having lost all his memories from the Secret Realm, Shen Fei had just tried to contact Number 0 again, but it was like dropping a stone into the sea—there was no response at all. Now, Number 0’s Scamming Waist Cutter had directly delivered the item granted by the version’s [National Fate] right to him, deepening Shen Fei’s confusion even further.

***

Temporarily unavailable! Then what’s the fucking point of giving me anything?!

He looked at the three new Secret Realms in his possession. He just needed to find a place to set them down, and they would immediately form something akin to a dungeon instance. However, upon reading the item descriptions, he saw they all displayed ”Temporarily unavailable.” Shen Fei was completely dumbfounded.

WHOOSH. WHOOSH. WHOOSH.

After waiting a little longer, Shen Fei saw that it was getting late. With a thought, he summoned the Teleportation Gate Tower and teleported directly back to his villa.

”Quick! Brother, tell me, did you get anything? Hehehe...”

Shen Yue had been harvesting crops for several hours and was resting wearily on the sofa. The moment she saw her brother return, her eyes lit up and she jumped to her feet.

”Brother Fei!”

Seeing Shen Fei enter, Xiaohong, who had also been resting after being exhausted from harvesting, instinctively stood up as well.

Before entering the Secret Realm, Xiaohong had planned to reveal her Succubus transformation. Now that she had come out with all her memories erased, she had no idea what she had done inside, nor did she know the final outcome. Despite this, she still felt a nervous flush creep up her face when Shen Fei walked in. It was pure instinct.

”Hehehe! Look what this is!”

Before Shen Fei could answer, Shen Yue, who could never keep a secret, slapped a handful of items down on the coffee table in front of him!

Although she had excitedly asked her brother if he’d gotten anything the moment he walked in, her real goal was to show off. Earlier, the moment they had emerged from the Secret Realm, Mrs. Shen noticed her crops were ripe. Fearing the grain would fall to the ground if not harvested immediately, she gave Shen Yue and Father Shen no chance to leave, pulling them straight into the work. Even Xiaohong couldn’t escape her ”clutches.”

While harvesting, Shen Yue had checked her inventory. She was shocked to discover she had actually received a reward—and for third place in the individual competition, no less! Although the memory loss meant she didn’t know what had happened, the prize was very much real: ten Secret Realm Teleportation Scrolls!

Shen Yue had thrown down the scrolls, which could be torn to instantly teleport people into a Secret Realm, with a flourish. Don’t you worry about how I got them! The point is, I have them! How awesome is that?!

Before entering, she thought she was just along for the ride. Shen Yue never expected to actually place third. She had been bottling it all up while harvesting, just waiting to show off to her brother. Now that he was finally back, Shen Yue got her wish.

”I told you my Lucky Clover was amazing!” she announced proudly to her parents, brother, and Xiaohong, her voice rising with excitement after being held back for so long. ”You guys didn’t even want it! Look, I got third place! Third place!”

”I got... I didn’t get a prize...” she then heard Xiaohong mutter.

”...”

Xiaohong’s words left her speechless for a moment. After a two-second pause, Shen Yue shouted again, ”You’re different! You had other goals! You were probably delayed by doing other things in the Secret Realm!”

Knowing what Xiaohong was really after, Shen Yue quickly regained her confidence.

”Ah!” Hearing Shen Yue threaten to reveal her intentions in front of everyone, Xiaohong let out a startled cry, immediately lowered her head, and fell silent.

”Hehehe...”

Victorious again, Shen Yue lifted her head, stretching her fair neck like a proud swan as she looked at her brother, Shen Fei.

”Not bad,” Shen Fei said, glancing at his sister’s items with an appreciative nod. ”Third place is very impressive.”

Then, to Shen Yue’s utter dismay...
