Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

[Teleportable Targets: None]

[Charging: The Teleportation Array consumes City Energy. Based on the teleportation distance, the base cost is 10 City Energy per person.]

[Status: Four Teleportation Gates requesting connection...]

Zhao Li quickly checked the Attributes of the newly built Teleportation Gate. He saw that the Teleportation Array actually had a level and a Durability display. Furthermore, after every Teleportation, it consumed this so-called City Energy.

This City Energy... Is it something that will appear after the Version 4.3 update?

Looking at the City Energy, a concept he knew nothing about, Zhao Li muttered to himself. He saw that Ye City, where he currently was, had a City Energy value of 3,342 points, but he had no idea what these points represented in detail.

WHOOSH.

Seeing the connection requests displayed in the Teleportation Array’s [Status] attribute field, Zhao Li didn’t hesitate and accepted the other links.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

Zhao Li accepted the four Teleportation Array connection requests from Qing City, Yang City, the Divine Capital, and West-Townning City. Instantly, he saw that four new options had appeared among his Teleportation Array’s possible destinations: [Yang City], [Fanghu Cave Heaven], [Xianyang], and [Fumao].

"Quick!"

"Help me get on the Forum!"

"Post a message! Tell any settlement with a population over 10,000 to divide their numbers immediately!"

"Remember to sign your name!"

"You can also show off your strength a bit to get everyone ready for 4.1!"

"This is Brother Fei’s opinion, too!"

Seeing that the new Teleportation Array had Durability, Zhao Li was about to arrange for people to guard it and prevent its destruction. He was also considering whether he should test the new array’s effects when he suddenly received Huang Yi’s frantic request.

A call to action? Avoid settlements with more than 10,000 people?

Seeing Huang Yi’s message, Zhao Li instantly understood his reasoning. It was obviously to deal with the monster tide from the Version 4.1 update, which was just a few hours away. He himself had a large Neutral City and would have to defend against the invasion of ten monster tides. However, most people were living in settlements without the protection of a Neutral City. Zhao Li understood that Huang Yi was asking him to use his influence to get everyone to quickly split up any settlements with more than 10,000 people to avoid triggering the monster tide from Version 4.1.

Since Brother Chongtian agrees, then let’s do it!

He opened the Forum and saw that many calls to action had already appeared. There were posts from Huang Yi, personal posts from the directors of various Tourism Management Offices, and even calls to action published by well-known figures like Father Shen. Without a second thought, Zhao Li also used his own name to quickly make a post.

In the post, he urged everyone to follow the rules. At the same time, he also had his girlfriends nearby film a video of him wielding his newly inherited Magic—summoning endless wild thunder and unleashing the Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers attack—which he then included in his post.

Zhao Li saw that as soon as his post with the video was published, his popularity on the Forum surged once again. Thanks to his powerful, newly inherited Magic, his fame exploded again.

At the same time, Zhao Li also saw that following his post, more and more people were issuing calls to action. Some people even immediately began to compile lists of settlements that were unable to split up. For various reasons—be it special terrain restrictions, unique monster groups in the vicinity, or having too few players who had inherited game-like abilities—these places were unable to immediately divide their populations to get below 10,000 people and ensure the separated groups were more than 100 km apart.

After browsing the Forum for a while, Zhao Li quickly closed it. Controlling his Divine Sense, he swiftly identified the locations of several Monster Nests within a 100-kilometer radius of Songhai. He understood that in a few hours, the monster tides that would besiege the large city of Songhai would spawn from these locations.

What confused him, however, was that he had only detected seven Monster Nests within a 100-kilometer radius of [Ye City]. He hadn’t found the other three.

The seawater and rivers are actually blocking my Divine Sense!

The remaining three Monster Nests must be underwater...

His gaze swept over a flooded area not far away as he muttered slowly. He had to defend against ten waves of monsters, and not knowing their strength, he was quite vigilant, especially since some of the monster tides would also be spawning from underwater.

Frowning, Zhao Li quickly began to communicate with the director of the Songhai Tourism Management Office, who had already retreated to [Ye City].

"Fuck!!"

Suddenly, Zhao Li’s face paled in horror. He saw his personal panel open on its own, and another unexpected line of text scrolled out.

"Fuck!!"

"I’m screwed!"

"I’m so screwed!!"

Looking at the content of the text and thinking about the wildly popular post he had just sent out—the one for which he had even gone out of his way to film his ultra-powerful Immortal Technique—Zhao Li was stunned.

「A few minutes earlier.」

Shen Fei had pulled Huang Yi, Zhao Li, and the others into the [Ninth World] to conduct the first wave of trades. After testing that trading in the [Ninth World] was completely flawless, he kicked them back out. Then, he quickly used the one Teleportation Array Building Stone he had kept for himself. Just as Zhao Li had seen,
