Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

The Forum used real names, so the moment Sun Yu posted the picture, all his communication devices blew up. Everyone who had his contact information started trying to reach him, including not only people from the Heaven-Reaching Gang but also from Songhai, the Divine Capital, and Yang City. Sun Yu had added many of them as friends to set up betting pools earlier, and now they were all calling at once.

"Dad..."

A speechless Sun Yu hadn’t expected the item to be so popular. Seeing all the people trying to contact him, he finally answered his father’s call, still at a loss for words. His Uncle Sun had also called.

"That thing, is it from your Brother Fei?" he asked the moment the call connected, his location unknown. "How many do you have?" Being familiar with both Sun Yu and Shen Fei, he immediately guessed Shen Fei was involved.

"Uh..." His father’s direct approach left Sun Yu at a bit of a loss. He instinctively glanced at his Big Brother, Shen Fei, who was beside him.

"Give Uncle Sun five of them!" Hearing Uncle Sun’s voice over the phone, Shen Fei smiled slightly and also offered five scrolls.

That leaves 88. Enough for the Ninth World...

"Alright!" Hearing his Big Brother generously give away a few more, the corners of Sun Yu’s mouth immediately curved up. He had already figured out how to use the five scrolls he was holding, and he certainly didn’t want to give them to his father. He hadn’t expected his Big Brother to immediately produce another five.

"So, how did it go?"

In Qing City, within the small city of Peter’s Castle, Uncle Sun was busy. As the honorary director of the Qing City Tourism Management Office, he actually had a lot of daily work. A moment ago, the retired Li Yunlong had rushed over in a panic, making Uncle Sun wonder what was wrong. Only after Li Yunlong finished explaining did Uncle Sun understand what had happened. Then, under the expectant gaze of his old buddy Li Yunlong, he had called his son, Sun Yu.

After hanging up, Li Yunlong asked nervously. As the former director of the Tourism Management Office, Li Yunlong knew all too well how powerful players were and had dreamed countless times of becoming one himself. When someone showed him the post on the Forum, he got excited. He became even more thrilled when he saw the picture Sun Yu had taken.

WHOOSH!

Before Uncle Sun could answer, a Teleportation Gate opened beside him. Sun Yu walked out, a handful of scrolls in his grasp, grinning.

"Here, Dad!" he said. "A gift from me and my brother to show our respect!"

Still grinning, Sun Yu placed the five scrolls from his Big Brother Shen Fei into his father’s hands and turned to leave with a flourish.

WHOOSH!

And then, Peter’s Castle erupted! Everyone instantly knew what Uncle Sun was holding. All eyes, filled with anticipation, turned to him.

"Here, Old Li, you get one first..." Bathed in the fervent gazes, Uncle Sun handed the first scroll to Li Yunlong.

RIIIP!

The moment the excited Li Yunlong took the scroll, he tore it open.

"I! The random skill I got is called... the Italian Cannon!?" Bathed in the light from the scroll, Li Yunlong shouted in excitement.

Big Brother is a beast! He doesn’t even browse the Forum, but it’s filled with legends about him!

After quickly delivering the five scrolls to his father and returning to the villa, Sun Yu couldn’t help but marvel inwardly. He looked at the post that had shot to the number-one trending spot because of his picture. He saw that many high-ranking people had guessed from his photo alone that Shen Fei might be the one behind this. While countless people were excitedly trying to get a Personal Panel Activation Scroll for their family members, they were also inwardly wondering how Shen Fei alone could have received two different rewards from a single competition.

While marveling at how awesome his Big Brother was, Sun Yu continued browsing the Forum. He quickly clicked on the third-hottest post and saw that it was a complaint thread. It had been posted by players from numerous Neutral Cities and the settlements surrounding them. They were pleading for help online because they also wanted the Neutral City Gate Building Stone.

Everyone knew from the recent monster tide that Shen Fei could defend an entire country by himself because he had established Teleportation Arrays in Qing City, Songhai, the Divine Capital, Yang City, and West-Townning City. While the other Neutral Cities also had considerable Combat Power—enough to have captured their territories in the first place—and had successfully defended against this monster tide, their defense had required a Herculean effort. In contrast, the cities with Teleportation Arrays didn’t even have to lift a finger; Shen Fei had defended them all by himself.

This caused demand for the Teleportation Gate Building Stone to skyrocket. In fact, one Neutral City had posted an offer to buy one for 100 million Credit Points. Unfortunately, while the one-hundred-million-point offer drove up the post’s popularity, no one actually seemed to have such an item.

"Bro!" Seeing all the noisy buy offers and discussions in the thread, Sun Yu once again looked to his Big Brother. He was hoping his Big Brother would casually toss him a Teleportation Array Building Stone.

Unfortunately, this time, he really didn’t have any.

"I really don’t have that," Shen Fei said, shaking his head at Sun Yu’s expectant face. "Let’s wait a few hours and see what happens after the Version 4.4 rules update."

He truly didn’t have one. However, although he had already used the five building stones in his possession, Shen Fei did know of a place where there was a chance to get more Teleportation Array Building Stones.
