Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

What might happen then! I’d better make sure you don’t rebel!

With a thought, Shen Fei waved his hand. Before Medusa could say another word, the effect of the [Mind Control Tower] descended upon her once more.

"Watch over Lin’an City and Mist City for me!"

Having subdued Medusa, Shen Fei, who could now issue any command thanks to the complete control granted by the [Mind Control Tower], gave his directive. Then, WHOOSH! He instantly teleported away from Hang City’s territory.

Killing Medusa would only grant 100 million experience points. For Shen Fei, who was now level 140 and needed several billion experience points to level up, that amount was negligible. But it was necessary to use that 100 million experience from Medusa to test one of his theories about the full Version 4.3 update.

Besides, the [Mind Control Tower]’s cooldown was available anyway. I might as well control Medusa for now. If it really doesn’t work out, I can just release the control later and kill her then.

SWOOSH.

His little trip to Hang City was over. After his vision flickered twice, Shen Fei was back on the city walls of Songhai City. The monster tide was over, and the people of Songhai were ecstatic. Without interacting with any of them, Shen Fei stepped directly into Songhai’s Teleportation Array. Then, with another flicker of his vision, he soon returned to his villa.

"Half an hour left!"

Sitting on his sofa again, Shen Fei saw that there was less than half an hour until the full Version 4.3 update.

"Let’s not talk for now," he said, "Let’s wait for the 4.3 update!"

As Shen Fei returned home, his mother, sister, Xiaohong, Sun Yu, and the others gathered around him again. Not rushing them to speak, Shen Fei lay down on the sofa, composing himself and waiting for the full 4.3 update. At his words, his family all sat beside him without saying anything more.

SWOOSH.

Shen Fei lay on the sofa, resting while waiting. While resting, he also opened the Forum and browsed some of the posts. He saw that most of the threads were still discussing the Cyan God of Qing City. Only a small number of posts were about the upcoming Version 4.3 and Version 4.4.

Although the full update of Version 4.1 had triggered a global monster tide, that was because the rules of 4.1 itself were related to monster tides. The upcoming Version 4.3, however, was about Neutral Cities. The general consensus was that Neutral Cities couldn’t possibly trigger a monster tide. Besides, even if another monster tide was triggered, they still had the Great Xia Guardian—the Cyan God—after all! Therefore, there wasn’t much discussion about Version 4.3 on the Forum. Most people were discussing Shen Fei’s abilities, his Combat Power, and his future upgrade path.

SWISH. SWISH. SWISH.

Time flew by, and soon, half an hour had passed. Then, amid everyone’s anticipation, their personal panels opened again, and lines of text began to scroll out.

[Ding!]

[The delayed full update for Version 4.3 is starting!]

[Detected that Versions 4.1 and 4.2 have been fully updated!]

[Neutral City identity authentication is now open!]

[City Alliance formation is now open!]

[City influence radius, in conjunction with Version 4.2, is now fully enabled!]

[All City Characteristics have been awakened!]

[All ancillary City Buildings are now fully unlocked!]

[In conjunction with Version 4.1, the function to farm associated Monster Nests within a city has been enabled!]

SWISH. SWISH. SWISH.

As Shen Fei watched, lines of text rapidly appeared. Just as he had expected, the full update of Version 4.3 unlocked all the various functions related to Neutral Cities. Previously, the start of Version 4.3 had only given players the chance to compete for Neutral Cities. After securing a Neutral City, no random monsters would spawn within its borders, and some of the Neutral City’s territory and abilities had taken effect. Now, with the full update, all rules related to Neutral Cities were completely unlocked.

First, Shen Fei saw the Neutral City identity authentication function become active. On every player’s personal panel, an identity attribute bar had now appeared where the name of one’s affiliated Neutral City could be displayed. After becoming a citizen of a certain Neutral City, a player had a chance to be granted one of the city’s attributes. Of course, the specific characteristics and attributes would depend on the City Characteristics and ancillary buildings that were also unlocked with this update.

SWISH.

Shen Fei saw that with the activation of the Neutral City identity authentication, ten Neutral Cities were now displayed next to his identity attribute bar. In addition to the nine cities of Qing City, he was surprised to see that even [Lin’an] was listed. This was the fallen Neutral City of the Beauty Snake boss, Medusa, which he had just brought under the complete control of his Mind Control Tower. Although a "Special - Unusable" tag was appended to [Lin’an], the appearance of the destroyed city had completely blindsided him.

SWOOSH.

After checking the first new feature of the Version 4.3 update, Shen Fei continued to browse. He saw that the so-called City Alliance was for Neutral Cities that possessed a Teleportation Array. With the updates of 4.2 and 4.3, Neutral Cities now also had attribute panels. On these panels, a new attribute called [City Energy] had been added. Using a city’s Teleportation Array would consume City Energy.
