Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

WHOA!

Sun Yu cried out in astonishment, while a confused Shen Fei prepared to check the Attributes of his various rewards and take stock of other important matters.

"Hmm?"

Shen Fei quickly discovered an anomaly. He found that the overall power of his Defense Towers seemed to have received a boost after the round in the Great Chaos Secret Realm. The total power had increased by about 10%. Aside from the 10% increase to the overall power of his Defense Towers, there were no other changes.

In his inventory, the items that were previously displayed as unavailable—the [Array Plate], [Monster Nest], [Hundredfold Amplification], and [Disguise Technique]—all still showed "Temporarily Unavailable." What annoyed him was that the new wave of rewards he had just received also came with the "Temporarily Unavailable" tag.

This is making me want to complain...

Just as Shen Fei was thinking, The unavailable items must be related to a version update, but version 4.4 was already released..., Sun Yu shouted excitedly from the side.

"Bro! My Defense Towers’ overall power increased by 10%!!! Why did that happen???"

"Bro! Did I get a reward, too? Did I also go on a killing spree in the Secret Realm??" an unknowing Sun Yu asked excitedly.

"It’s a participation prize... Everyone who participated got one..."

Shen Fei threw a bucket of cold water on him in the face of his excitement.

"Huh?"

After hearing what Shen Fei said, Sun Yu paused for a moment, then quickly opened the player Forum. The new Forum had a restriction: ordinary people who hadn’t inherited game abilities and didn’t have a personal panel couldn’t log in under most circumstances. Therefore, during the few days players were participating in the Secret Realm, the Forum had been completely silent. Because of the Secret Realm, players could only open it and perform some basic operations, but they couldn’t post or record anything.

"Holy shit!! My overall Combat Power increased by 10% after that trip to the Secret Realm!! This is an even bigger boost than when I inherited my abilities!!! Awesome! Awesome!! So sweet!!"

Opening the new Forum, sure enough, all sorts of posts had appeared with the players’ return. Just as Shen Fei had said, everyone’s power had indeed increased by 10%. It was something you got just for participating in the Secret Realm; everyone had it.

His question answered, Sun Yu continued to browse. Then, he saw news that only he knew, while everyone else was in the dark.

"Question! Question!!! Who the hell got the prizes from the Secret Realm!!"

"Yeah!! Who got them!!"

"Someone please tell us! Which whale got the prize? Show it off so we can have some fun!!"

"You can even post it anonymously!!!"

On the Forum, the second thing everyone was urgently asking about was who had taken the top ten prizes in the competition. Because everyone’s memories had been erased, no one knew what had actually happened inside. Everyone wanted to know who the final victor was and who had taken all the prizes.

"I bet it was the Immortal Emperor!!"

"I bet it was Taiyi Zhenren!!"

"My guess is our Hang City Tourism Management Office got something..."

"I guess it was that Elf King Shooter from Xila Country..."

A large number of guesses began to appear in the threads. Since no one was leaking any information, everyone just guessed wildly.

"Big Bro!!" Seeing everyone’s questions in the threads, Sun Yu turned back to Shen Fei, a little excited.

"Keep a low profile! Go pay off your gambling debt!!"

It was obvious at a glance that Sun Yu wanted to post the rewards anonymously and show off for a bit. But Shen Fei knew that Number 0 had certain privileges on the new Forum. Right now, with no news from Number 0 and the situation still unclear, he didn’t want to be too conspicuous on the new Forum.

"Uh.., alright..."

Hearing his big brother’s words, Sun Yu opened the Forum and paid off the 30 million debt he owed.

As Sun Yu’s debt was paid, a new series of posts erupted across the entire Forum.

"Holy crap!! That Brother Kaipan actually paid off his gambling debt!"

"Holy crap!! Did he win in the Great Chaos Secret Realm? Is that why he has the money to pay his debt?"

Sun Yu’s action let many people know that he had made a profit. Soon, all sorts of information started getting compiled.

"Reporting in! I lost money; I bet on the Immortal Emperor to be champion!"

"Reporting in! I lost money; I bet on Taiyi Zhenren to be champion!"

"Reporting! I lost money; I bet on a foreigner to be champion..."

One report after another began to appear in the threads. By compiling all the various pieces of information, no one knew who had won the championship, but they all knew who *hadn’t* won.

"Holy shit!! Who is the champion?"

"Holy shit! Who is the champion??"

"Holy shit!! Who is the champion??"

After compiling the information, everyone discovered that not a single person had won any money. Everyone who placed a bet had lost. Some people even went to investigate the forums of other countries, only to discover that players from other countries also hadn’t won any money.

No one had won Brother Kaipan’s bet.

In other words, Brother Kaipan cleaned everyone out?

"What the hell!! Brother Kaipan, get out here!!!"

"Fess up!!! You knew the inside story, didn’t you!!"

"Brother Kaipan, get out here!! I’m an old fan, I’ve been following your bets since the Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms game; you have to DM me an explanation!"

With all these developments, countless eyes turned to focus on Sun Yu.

The competition had kept everyone busy for several days. In the end, aside from the 10% power increase for all participants, not a single person knew what had actually happened inside.
