Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

But now, Shen Fei had appeared.

Not only that—he had crossed over from the real world into the Game World.

This left everyone stunned.

The cataclysm on Earth had begun precisely because things from the Game World had started materializing in reality. And now, Shen Fei himself had somehow done the reverse, crossing from the real world into the Game World, all alone.

To Huang Yi and Zhao Li, this was even more shocking than when game abilities first appeared in the real world.

Kill the mobs first!

He had chosen the perfect moment to help his father’s team, blasting open the Immortal Palace and even punching a hole straight through it.

Ignoring the shocked expressions of Huang Yi and Zhao Li, his father’s mixture of elation and terror, and the stunned faces of Tear of the Succubus and Young Master Void, the now-visible Shen Fei began controlling his Defense Towers. While quickly picking off the surrounding wolf-headed flying cavalry, he opened a Teleportation Gate and appeared at his father’s side.

After giving the five of them a quick, tight hug, Shen Fei waved a hand and led the group charging into the Immortal Palace.

"Who goes there!!!"

"Insolence!!"

The Jade Emperor, who had just lost a hand to the concentrated beam of the Cluster Attack, shouted in shock the moment he saw Shen Fei leading the charge.

Unfortunately for him, before he could utter another word, Shen Fei glanced back at his father. Seeing him nod in confirmation that this was the final boss, Shen Fei didn’t hesitate.

An enhanced Defense Tower attack landed directly on the Jade Emperor’s head.

BOOM!

A flash of brilliant light, and the Jade Emperor was blasted to smithereens.

WHOOSH.

As the Jade Emperor—the most powerful being in this world—disappeared, all the other clamoring minions vanished without a trace...

"Hm?"

Just as Shen Fei was about to reunite with his father and ask what this place was and what was happening, he suddenly froze.

[Ding!]

[Extraneous player detected; mandatory mission checkpoint boss has been destroyed!]

[Ding!]

[Disrupting player is being pulled into the mandatory mission!]

[Ding!]

[Sixth mandatory mission member detected!]

[Ding!]

[Special player invasion of the Game World detected!]

[Ding!]

[Game bug detected!]

[Ding...]

As Shen Fei stared dumbfounded, his personal status panel opened automatically, a long string of text scrolling across it.

Turning his head, he saw the looks on his father’s and the others’ faces and instantly understood that the same messages were appearing on their status panels as well.

[Ding!]

[Player interference in mandatory mission detected. Mission rings increased from 12 to 18!]

[Mission duration reduced from 168 hours to 84 hours!]

[Ding!]

[You have killed the strongest being of the Fifth Ring world: the Jade Emperor!]

[Ding! Reward obtained: Resurrection Peach x1]

[Ding!]

[Please open the Celestial Gate as soon as possible and proceed to the next Game World!]

[Ding!]

[Experience Bar unlocked. Experience gained: 1,000,000,000!]

.

As Shen Fei and the others watched, line after line of text appeared.

And then, the original five-person squad was completely dumbfounded.

The question of how Shen Fei had entered the Game World hadn’t even been answered, yet they never imagined that the entire mandatory mission would change so drastically just because he had joined them.

The mission, originally twelve rings, had jumped straight to eighteen. On top of that, the original seven-day time limit was slashed in half.

According to the scaling monster difficulty, the monsters on the Twelfth Ring were already supposed to be over five thousand times stronger than those on the first. But now, because of Shen Fei, the monster strength on the eighteenth ring would be hundreds of thousands of times greater than on the first.

Just a moment ago, they’d thought the monsters on the Fifth Ring were already incredibly strong. Zhao Li, who had been conserving his Magical Power by holding back on using his Immortal Techniques, now realized he would have to contribute much more on the Sixth and Seventh Rings.

They never expected that Shen Fei’s arrival would push the mission all the way to eighteen rings. Leaving aside how monstrously strong the enemies would become by the eighteenth ring with this scaling, the other Elements that would be added with the increased number of rings were terrifying enough on their own.

"What the hell?!"

The five-person squad was dumbfounded. Standing next to them, Shen Fei was just as dumbfounded.

He had used a special bug to track down his father, found the perfect moment to strike, and eliminated their target in one fell swoop. But Shen Fei never imagined that by interfering, he—the bug in the system—would be dragged into the mandatory mission himself. What’s more, his very presence had increased the mission’s difficulty by hundreds, if not thousands, of times...

He had come here to rescue them in the first place, so Shen Fei wasn’t surprised to be pulled into the mission. He could even stomach the ramped-up monster difficulty. After all, as soon as he appeared, his father had immediately returned items like the Array Flag, Hundredfold Amplification, and Disguise Technique to him.

What truly made Shen Fei’s jaw drop was seeing the objective that appeared on his status panel for the mandatory mission: Heaven-Opening Gate.

From the mission objective’s description, he finally understood where he was.

Just a moment ago, when he had entered this strange world, the dazzling, iridescent tunnel and the sheer amount of time it took to traverse had filled him with curiosity. His mind had erupted with all sorts of theories about outer space and destinations light-years away. He never expected that the world he had ultimately entered was actually the Game World!

He had actually counter-invaded the Game World!

And, from the mission’s description, Shen Fei could also tell that their task was to break down the barriers between this Game World and other Game Worlds...

The others with him couldn’t log into the game, so they didn’t know that the various Game Worlds were invading one another. But Shen Fei, the last time he logged into *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*, had a long chat with Sky Control. He knew that the different Game Worlds were in the process of invading one another.

Shen Fei never imagined that he had not only counter-invaded the game, but he had also become an "accomplice" in the invasions between Game Worlds.

Fuck!

After jumping through all these hoops, don’t tell me I’m going to end up in the *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* Game World...

And if we enter one of those Game Worlds where people can still log in, what happens then? Could players in the real world interact with us through their in-game characters?

Now that he knew he was inside a Game World, one shocking theory after another flooded Shen Fei’s mind. This time, the situation had truly terrified him... and to his very core.

"Quick! Snap out of it!"

"Let’s open the path out of this world first!"

"We’ll head to the next world and figure things out as we go!"

After a dozen seconds, it was Father Shen, the squad leader, who was the first to recover.

Although he had a million questions, Father Shen knew that in this Game World, after the death of its strongest being, the Jade Emperor, they needed to open the way to the next Game World immediately.

Since Shen Fei’s arrival had cut their mission time in half, they couldn’t afford to waste another second.

WHOOSH.

At Father Shen’s command, everyone quickly composed themselves.

Then, they all turned to look at the spot where the Jade Emperor had died.

Beneath his throne, a cylinder with a health bar had appeared...
