Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

Other than randomly inheriting something from the game’s vague "Other" category, the only other definite place to obtain construction stones was a Secret Realm—specifically, the kind introduced in the 4.4 update.

Shen Fei guessed that in a few hours, after the 4.4 update rolled out, Secret Realms would begin to appear or open up. At that point, certain Secret Realms would likely start spawning all sorts of items.

"Alright! So, the Version 4.4 update! That’s really soon!"

Asking Brother Fei was definitely the right move. Even though he didn’t give me the item directly, he told me how to get it.

Sun Yu was very satisfied.

After teleporting the satisfied Sun Yu back to Peter’s Castle, Shen Fei let out a long sigh and prepared to make his move. A moment ago, he had been thinking things over while communicating with some people from Songhai. Now, he needed to go confirm a few things.

There wasn’t an event that surpassed the current version? Is it because the Version 4.7 feature was already triggered when I unlocked my Experience Bar, so it won’t happen again? Or is it for some other reason?

Shen Fei muttered to himself before taking action. Uncle Sun had already replied that the Scrolls he had sent with Yu had all been used. Including the young girl who used a Scroll at the very beginning, the version-surpassing event that Shen Fei was anticipating did not happen.

Activating Personal Panels for ordinary people and unlocking Experience Bars for players were both features from Version 4.7. What Shen Fei hadn’t expected was that when other people did things ahead of the current version, it didn’t trigger an update prompt.

Lame.

Muttering a complaint, Shen Fei waved his hand to summon the Teleportation Gate Tower, preparing to return to Yang City and teleport away.

"Brother!!"

But before he could leave, another startled cry rang out, growing louder as it approached.

Turning his head, he saw his sister, Shen Yue, returning with their mother and Xiaohong. His sister was running ahead. As she neared the villa, she started shouting.

"Try to be a lady! What’s wrong?" Shen Fei tapped Shen Yue on the head and asked.

"Hehehe... Can I have a few of those Personal Panel Activation Scrolls?!" Faced with her brother’s question, Shen Yue suddenly looked a little sheepish.

Earlier, 32 monster waves had erupted in Qing City, and her brother had told the family he needed to defend a large swath of the country. While everyone else was worried, Shen Yue hadn’t been concerned in the slightest. She had complete faith in her brother’s strength and wasn’t worried about the monster waves at all. In fact, during the outbreak, she had even dragged their mother and Xiaohong to Rice Field City to help harvest another batch of ripe crops.

And the final outcome of the monster waves was just as Shen Yue had imagined. Her big brother had swept the battlefield, and all the monster waves were stopped with ease. Even the nests that spawned from the monster waves were effortlessly destroyed by her brother.

He was just that Invincible! Just that powerful!

And once she confirmed that her brother was no longer keeping a low profile, Shen Yue decided to stop holding back herself. She had happily shown off her impressive strength to her old friends and classmates from school. She even told a few of her closest friends that Cyan God was her brother.

Thanks to its status as a Neutral City, the city had already recovered quickly. Some classes at the Qing City Institute of Technology, which had originally been suspended, had even resumed because of this. Although most of the university students had inherited game-like abilities, they had no opportunity to use them in Qing City. Worried that this group of students, now possessing special abilities with nothing to do, might cause trouble, many of Qing City’s universities had decided to resume classes. They had simply added many new courses about the game’s arrival to the curriculum...

And it was in one of these classes that Shen Yue saw the viral post about an ordinary person activating their panel and becoming a player. Feeling a little proud, she couldn’t resist bragging to her classmates. Then, to back up her bragging, she wanted to get a few Personal Panel Activation Scrolls to show off to her friends.

Worried her brother wouldn’t give her the means to back up her claims, she had dragged their mother and Xiaohong back with her for support. Of course, Mrs. Shen hadn’t come back to help Shen Yue. The harvest was simply done, and she was returning home to rest...

"Hm?"

After hearing Shen Yue’s explanation, Shen Fei’s eyes widened. He turned to look past his sister at their mother and Xiaohong.

"Don’t look at me!" Meeting Shen Fei’s questioning gaze, Mrs. Shen just waved a dismissive hand, refusing to get involved in her children’s affairs. She knew how strong her son was. So even though her husband had been forced into a mandatory mission, Mrs. Shen wasn’t too worried. She knew that with her son on the case, her husband would be fine...

"Ah!! I don’t want any!!!"

Nearby, when Shen Fei’s gaze shifted to her, Xiaohong’s face flushed red and she quickly waved her hands. Xiaohong was extremely flustered. This was because among the five players forced into the mandatory five-person mission, she knew more than just Father Shen, Huang Yi, and Zhao Li; she also recognized another person among them.

That person was the fourth player: [Succubus’s Tear].

Because of the special bloodline she had inherited, Xiaohong had secretly joined a group chat for people who had all inherited the same abilities. And this [Succubus’s Tear] was the most active, enthusiastic, and influential member of their group.

Feeling conflicted, Xiaohong immediately shook her head when Shen Fei looked at her.

After taking several deep breaths, Xiaohong suppressed her anxiety and said to Shen Fei, "Brother Fei, when you go to rescue Uncle Shen, please make sure you come find me!"

Xiaohong knew a few things about [Succubus’s Tear]. Knowing that Shen Fei would definitely go on a rescue mission, she wanted to pass that information on to him.
