Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

The two monster lairs weren’t marked as "Invincible" or "Unattackable." However, Shen Fei didn’t rush to destroy them. Through the Detection Tower, he had discovered that this monster-occupied city was surprisingly missing a Heart of the City. He decided to leave the lairs for now and see how things played out.

Setting aside the matter of the monster lairs, Shen Fei turned his gaze to the two bosses. "Speak. Can you understand me?"

"Are you putting on an act for me?" Shen Fei asked. He saw shock flash in the bosses’ eyes, but they didn’t answer his question.

SWISH!

SWISH!

Seeing their lack of cooperation, Shen Fei was in no mood for guessing games. He instantly summoned his [Mind Control Defense Tower].

Previously, Mind Control had been ineffective against NPCs and Super Bosses in special zones. Now, he wanted to see if it would work on these intelligent beings that had evolved from bosses. If not, he would just kill them.

WHOOSH!

Controlling the Mind Control Tower, Shen Fei instantly cast the Light of Control onto the bald puppet.

WHOOSH!

Much to his satisfaction, the bald puppet boss wasn’t like the creatures from the special zones. The moment the Light of Control landed, its gaze went vacant as it fell completely under his control.

Before Shen Fei could even ask a question, he noticed something surprising. As soon as the bald boss was controlled, the approaching tide of puppet monsters in the distance completely halted. It was as if, in an instant, the monster tide had lost its target, or rather, its driving force.

"What is your name?" Frowning at the remaining swarm of snakes still attacking him, Shen Fei questioned the bald puppet boss he had just brought under his control.

Meanwhile, the other boss—the Beauty Snake with a human torso and a serpentine tail—was utterly stunned. Seeing the bald puppet boss docilely complying with Shen Fei’s questioning without any lies or hostility, her eyes widened, and her mouth formed a perfect "O."

While the Beauty Snake was frozen in shock, unable to move or speak, Shen Fei fired off a rapid stream of questions.

BOOM!

Three minutes later, after repeatedly asking the same questions and getting identical answers every time, the dark vines beside Shen Fei suddenly shot out and instantly pierced the bald puppet’s head, blowing it apart.

[DING]

[You have killed the special boss, the Puppet King. Experience +100,000,000!]

As Shen Fei watched, after its head exploded, the vines twisted the bald puppet’s body like a pretzel. Then, his personal status panel opened, and a line of text scrolled into view.

For killing a monster tide boss that had gained sentience after occupying a city, Shen Fei immediately received one hundred million experience. This was only one-tenth of the experience he’d gotten for killing the boss during the monster tide.

Gaining experience wasn’t a surprise to Shen Fei. What startled him was that after becoming sentient, the boss was only worth one-tenth of its original experience. So it gives less experience after gaining sentience?

"Ahhh!!!"

The moment Shen Fei finished his questions and, without a word, brutally killed the puppet boss, the dumbfounded Beauty Snake beside them let out a shriek. Her voice was melodious, with a naturally enchanting tone that could make one’s limbs go weak.

Shen Fei also saw that with the puppet boss’s death, the halted tide of puppet monsters in the city ahead, along with the nest that had spawned them, all began to crumble as if weathered by wind, rapidly turning to ash and vanishing into the air.

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH!

Unsatisfied with the answers he’d gotten from the puppet boss, Shen Fei had killed it to make an example. The dozen or so vines around him sprang up with the agility of tentacles, aiming at the dumbfounded, panicked Beauty Snake.

The Beauty Snake had a stunning figure. Her face was fair and smooth, her skin covered in fine, glowing scales, and her body draped in a thin, sheer veil. Her upper body was human, but in place of legs, she had a long, serpentine tail.

With the puppet boss dead and its monster tide gone, Shen Fei brought his numerous vines to hover menacingly around the Beauty Snake’s body. He asked with a grin, "Are you going to talk willingly, or do I have to make you?"

He could already see that this Beauty Snake, who had only recently gained sentience, was scared out of her mind. Her face was a mask of terror, her mouth hanging open as she looked pitifully at Shen Fei. Under his gaze, the very tip of her long tail flicked back and forth rapidly and uncontrollably, like a frightened puppy’s.

Standing before the Beauty Snake boss, who was forced to her knees by his Domain, Shen Fei was like a ruffian cornering a helpless maiden as he interrogated her with an amused look in his eyes.

"I... I..." Faced with Shen Fei’s question, the Beauty Snake boss stammered, unable to form a complete sentence. She genuinely didn’t know what to say. The puppet boss had already told him everything she knew. Shen Fei was clearly unsatisfied with those answers, and she knew she couldn’t offer anything better.

Having gained sentience, the Beauty Snake had also developed a will to live. Shen Fei’s clean and efficient execution of the puppet boss had left her utterly terrified.

"I... I... My name is Medusa!!" Terrified that her own head would be next to explode, the extremely nervous Beauty Snake boss suddenly blurted out a self-introduction.

"What?"

Shen Fei was taken aback. He had only wanted to scare the Beauty Snake into revealing more information; he never expected her to spit out a name like that.

"Like I care what your name is!"

Shen Fei looked at the Beauty Snake boss, "Medusa." She was so terrified she looked about to wet herself. After blurting out her name, her lips just trembled, unable to offer up any information that he would find satisfactory.
