Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

If they released too much content from versions 4.3 and 4.4 at once, it would be overwhelming and leave everyone scrambling. In fact, many people would see their Combat Power drop while they struggled to adapt to the new content, and they could end up being devoured by the monstrous tide...

Let’s just wait...

The version update, still in progress, suddenly jolted, nearly breaking Shen Fei’s back. He turned and, seeing Yu staring nervously at the glittering Heaven-Reaching Tower, offered a few words of comfort. Since it would be a few hours before the version 4.4 content was fully implemented, there was no need to rush to deal with the Heaven-Reaching Tower’s strange transformation.

Although some of its restrictions had been lifted due to the version 4.2 update, and it was now glittering as if making some proclamation, it was still unclear what the tower would ultimately evolve into. They would have to wait for the 4.4 update to be complete to find out. Besides, although the Heaven-Reaching Tower was no longer dormant, its glittering hadn’t spawned any monsters. So, even though Shen Fei currently had a Source of the Secret Realm and could use it to immediately transform the Heaven-Reaching Tower into a special Secret Realm, he wasn’t in a hurry to do so.

Better to wait! What if the Heaven-Reaching Tower changes again after the version 4.4 rules are implemented? It’s better to reap the benefits of the new rules first. The Source of the Secret Realm can be used anytime. There’s no hurry...

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

As the countdown to the version 4.1 monstrous tide began and the version 4.2 datafication completed, everyone in Qing City, led by the Tourism Management Office, quickly got busy with preparations. Even Zhang Qiqiang and Gun’Er, notified by Yu, had run over to discuss how they should handle the 32-pronged monstrous tide.

Standing beside the Heaven-Reaching Tower, Shen Fei waved his hand and summoned 100 Defense Towers. He needed to thoroughly test the effects of the 10 Tower Master skills he had just inherited. At the same time, he nodded at Yu, prompting him to summon the Hero he had just inherited as well.

Version 4.2 had lifted all restrictions on Shen Fei’s items. He didn’t actually feel much pressure about the upcoming 32-pronged monstrous tide. Even without him, the eight hundred-plus members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang, who had inherited game abilities three times, could still try to fend off the beast tide. Besides, he could hear the neighing of warhorses coming from Wang Dapang’s Grassland City. Clearly, Wang Dapang’s eighty thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had inherited warhorses this time around. Finally, his army had horses!

Shen Fei believed that even without him, Qing City’s current strength was enough to hold off the monstrous tide for some time. They might not withstand the assault of 32 bosses when they eventually appeared, but they should be fine in the early stages.

WHOOSH!

Having summoned the Defense Towers, Shen Fei began applying his newly inherited Tower Master skills to them while discussing how to defend against the beast tide with Zhang Qiqiang and Gun’Er.

「Time passed.」

Shen Fei tested his Defense Towers, which had been instantly transformed by the application of his new skills. Meanwhile, the rest of the world was thrown into chaos by the full implementation of the rules from the version 4.1 and 4.2 updates. With the rules all activating at once, bizarre and inexplicable phenomena began appearing everywhere. Players across the globe panicked...

So today is the day these players inherit their game abilities again? I’m so envious! Their Combat Power might not be that high right now, but they can keep improving! And it’s a steady, reliable increase in Combat Power at regular intervals... It’s not like us. We have to resort to Devouring our own kind to get stronger. If you’re weaker, you risk being devoured yourself... Now that I’m out of the special zone, if someone kills me, it’s game over...

While Shen Fei was testing his skills, hundreds of kilometers away from Qing City, on the outskirts of the special zone known as the Cloud Dream Swamp, a young man clad in Purple Gold Battle Armor and standing atop a giant hammer was getting his bearings before heading toward the city. As midnight struck, he watched the human players in the settlement below. All sorts of lights began to glow around their bodies, or items and followers materialized beside them.

Divine King Tang San, flying swiftly overhead, was filled with envy. After the Great Chaos Secret Realm ended, he quickly decided to ride Shen Fei’s coattails. Now, after a journey of more than ten hours, he was finally getting close. He marveled at the profound potential of human players. At the same time, he was also pondering what he should say and do when he finally met Shen Fei. Although he possessed all his memories from the Great Chaos Secret Realm, he couldn’t reveal a single shred of them to anyone.

Besides, his current appearance was too unique. Any player who had ever played the game *Douluo* would recognize him. In fact, some fool who chose to inherit a different element from *Douluo* might have even inherited another "him." So, even though his goal in coming here was to become a lackey, Divine King Tang San knew it wouldn’t be easy. After all, his status as an NPC would be easily recognized. And since he couldn’t speak of his memories from the Secret Realm, even if he did meet Shen Fei, figuring out how to get his approval—how to successfully ride his coattails—was going to be his most difficult challenge.

Hm?

Just as he was pondering how he would find Shen Fei and what he would say upon arriving in Qing City, Divine King Tang San slammed on the brakes, screeching to a halt in mid-air.

He had been blocked!

A vast wall of small, colorful cubes had materialized out of thin air, blocking his path.
