Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

"Any violation of the above rules will result in immediate expulsion from the [Ninth World], with no chance of reentry!"

"The guiding principle of this trading space is—Connect worlds, trade everything!"

"The sole designated language of this trading space is—Chinese!"

.

As Sun Yu watched, a series of rules was released and, just like a group announcement on WeChat, immediately pinned where everyone could see them.

"Big Bro!"

After quickly reading the rules, Sun Yu made his way onto the walls of [Yang City].

"You can be my chief beta tester!"

"I need you to properly test the improvements to the [Ninth World]!"

Seeing Sun Yu run over excitedly, Shen Fei didn’t waste a word and immediately assigned him a task.

I had originally planned to just open the [Ninth World], let everyone start trading, and have the Mediators from the Northern Territory of Myanmar collect transaction data while manually removing rule-breakers. He hadn’t expected Sun Yu to be linked in as well. With him as a tester, the feedback I gather will be far more abundant and relevant...

"Big Bro, is this really your doing??" Sun Yu asked excitedly once more upon hearing Shen Fei’s words.

"Yeah!" Shen Fei patted Sun Yu’s shoulder. "You have a tough job ahead of you. Get to it!"

He didn’t chat any further. This special trading space had just been established and needed to run on its own for a while before any adjustments could be made. He didn’t know how Number 0 had done it in his past life, but now that the task of creating the [Ninth World] had fallen to him, this was the only way he could do it.

The [Ninth World] was a trading space. Besides facilitating trades, he also had to prevent players from other nations from communicating via the "World Channel." He also wanted to use this space to gather intelligence on the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses within the special regions.

In any case, the overall goal was simple: others couldn’t use this space to exchange information, but he *had* to use this space to obtain theirs.

What a complete double standard!

His confidence in doing so came from the dozens of Mediators from the Northern Territory of Myanmar who could "view the backend." The main trading functions of the [Ninth World] could run automatically, all thanks to the Divine Artifact. The main purpose of the dozens of Mediators was to ban the accounts of rule-breakers and to closely monitor any accounts connecting from the special regions...

As his orders were issued, Shen Fei saw that many of the Mediators had already started calling themselves "Room Managers"...

Now, let’s see if I can bait a big fish... Shen Fei thought, looking at the items he had placed in the trade warehouse. They were limited to bartering only; he had no intention of selling them and was simply using them as advertisements.

The arrival of the Secret Realms in version 4.4 was a global phenomenon. This "global" phenomenon didn’t just include areas where humans lived, but also the special regions inhabited by Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses. Therefore, he also wanted to use this trading space to investigate whether any Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses from the special regions were entering the Secret Realms.

In any case, on the surface, this place was a "ruthlessly-taxed marketplace" that charged a 30% tax on every transaction. But in reality, its most important purpose was actually to gather intelligence...

And just like that, the [Ninth World] opened. It was the one and only trading space for all races—human players, various NPCs, and Super Bosses alike. As long as they were intelligent and possessed a personal panel, they had a chance to connect.

The various rules had been set. Dozens of Room Managers had long since been trained, and there was the pleasant surprise of having Sun Yu as a third-party evaluator.

Next, all he had to do was wait for the trading space to operate, then slowly optimize it and reap the rewards...

Shen Fei also saw that although the [Ninth World] could currently only connect seventy-nine people, aside from the already-bound Number 0 and himself, this capacity could be rapidly increased. He could increase the number of connection slots by spending the Credit Points earned from the [Ninth World]’s transaction tax. The first hundred new connection slots cost 100,000 Credit Points each, while slots 101 through 200 cost 1,000,000 Credit Points each. And so on and so forth...

Nodding to Sun Yu, Shen Fei closed his personal panel, about to get busy with the next matter. Suddenly, he saw Sun Yu’s expression change as he quickly grabbed him.

Grabbing hold of Shen Fei, Sun Yu shouted, "Bro! Someone here is selling women and children!"

"Ban him!" Shen Fei commanded. "Ban him for good!"

He hadn’t expected it either. The trading space had just opened, and some damn genius had to go and pull a stunt like this. Without a second thought, Shen Fei didn’t even contact the Room Managers; he used his own authority and instantly Sealed the wise guy.

With a flicker, an account was Sealed, and the automatically searching connection node quickly linked to another person...

"Supplemental Rule 6: The trafficking of people is forbidden, especially human players! The trade of any living beings is prohibited in this space!"

He immediately added the new rule. Seeing that people on the trade world channel were already asking to buy food, drinking water, and even concrete, Shen Fei closed his personal panel once more. He gave Sun Yu a nod and quickly returned to his villa...

Let’s do this!

A mandatory five-person mission, huh!

The Heaven-Opening Gate, huh!

He walked to a corner of the living room and took something from Black Spade A. It was the "Error Sequence Uniqueness"—in other words, the bug generator—which had solidified once again after the full version 4.3 update.

Shen Fei took a deep breath, intending to follow in the footsteps of his father and the others...
