Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

One location faced fourteen monster tides and another faced ten. Including the thirty-two monster tides Qing City had to defend against, Shen Fei needed to hold back a grand total of fifty-six. A single monster tide was apocalyptic, capable of wiping a city off the map in an instant. This time, Shen Fei had to hold back a full fifty-six of them.

On top of that, other than the Experience Bar Unlock Scroll he had just used, he hadn’t had time to use any of the other newly available items. He had given them all to his father for protection.

And these fifty-six monster tides were scattered all across Great Xia.

In addition to the three cities he had to guard, there was a chance he would also have to help Yang City and West-Townning City, which had also established Teleportation Arrays. He had already decided long ago to help defend the tens of thousands of human settlements that couldn’t be partitioned.

This time, Shen Fei was going to be incredibly busy.

What he could rely on was still his 100 mobile Defense Towers. Of course, if the situation became critical this time, he could deploy 200 Defense Towers in advance and station them in [Yang City]. Then, he could free up his 100 mobile Defense Tower slots for other places that needed defending.

Aside from his 100 mobile Defense Towers, Shen Fei could also rely on the ten new, incredibly powerful Tower Master skills he had inherited, especially the "Ten Thousand Linked Bonds" skill, which could generate all sorts of strange Attributes through its Bonds.

Having made a promise, Shen Fei had no intention of going back on his word. Now that his father, Zhao Li, and Huang Yi had been teleported away, Shen Fei focused his mind, reviewing everything he needed to defend. Then, he prepared to move out.

WHOOSH.

He checked the time. The monster tide triggered by the full implementation of Version 4.1 was still more than an hour away. After reassuring his sister and having Xiaohong lead her away, Shen Fei opened the Forum again.

By now, the mandatory selection quest from the Version 4.5 update was over, so there was no longer any need for him to keep a low profile. Besides, with a massive monster tide on its way, the three publicly acknowledged strongest people in Great Xia had been suddenly teleported into some special space to complete a damn mission that supposedly involved the interests of everyone in the nation. The people’s anxiety about the monster tide was surely turning into fearful desperation. He had to help them build their confidence back up.

"Fuck!!"

"It’s over!!"

"[Ye City], the major city that Songhai City fought so hard to capture, is done for!!"

"It’s over, it’s over! We were just about to see the great Immortal Emperor unleash his new, powerful skills, and who would’ve thought he’d get whisked away..."

"According to the Version 4.1 rules, [Ye City] is a major city, which means it’ll have to face ten monster tides..."

"Run away!"

"People of Ye City, run while you still can!"

"Ten monster tides! There’s no way to hold them back!!"

Opening the Forum, the first things Shen Fei saw were all kinds of mocking posts tinged with schadenfreude. The malice of humanity is sometimes truly beyond words, especially since so many people can’t stand to see others succeed.

Why do you get to live in a major city with no monster spawns, while I have to live in a settlement, constantly on guard against monsters? Why were you lucky enough to inherit a good ability, while the one I inherited is some useless, second-rate game power?

And to top it all off, with the full Version 4.1 update, the population of the settlements would be partitioned into groups of less than 10,000. So, after seeing that Zhao Li had been "snatched away" by the mandatory Version 4.5 quest, many people immediately began predicting [Ye City]’s downfall. At the same time, countless posts also appeared predicting the doom of the Divine Capital without Huang Yi and Qing City without Father Shen.

Because of all the doomsaying in the posts, many of the locals in Ye City and the Divine Capital—though not in Qing City—were actually starting to believe it. This was because the locals, more than anyone, were familiar with the immense Combat Power of the Immortal Emperor and Taiyi Zhenren. With the two of them "snatched away" by the mandatory quest, the locals knew that the combined strength of their respective cities would instantly be cut in half. This was especially true for the core members of Songhai’s [Immortal Court] organization; they knew that Zhao Li alone accounted for seventy percent of Ye City’s total Combat Power. Now, with Zhao Li "snatched away," there was a high probability that Ye City would be submerged and flattened by the monster tide.

However famous Ye City had been before was exactly how dangerous it was now.

As the threads gained traction, a wave of despair and depression began to spread through the two cities. It went so far that, because of the online posts, some players who had been rushing toward Ye City and the Divine Capital to seek shelter within their defensive perimeters began to hesitate. Some even stopped dead in their tracks, starting livestreams to ask other players what they should do.

"Hm?"

"Hm?"

"Hm?"

Just as a sense of despair was spreading through countless hearts, a post suddenly went viral, shooting to the top of the trending page. Everyone who saw its contents turned pale with shock.

"Holy shit! We picked the wrong person!!"

"We should have sent *this* guy to the mandatory quest!!"

The post’s content gave many people a strange idea.

WHOOSH.

In Qing City, after checking the Forum and seeing that negative sentiment was spreading everywhere in the wake of Zhao Li and Huang Yi’s departure, just as he’d expected, Shen Fei thought for a moment and immediately created a new post. It was a video post filmed from his first-person perspective.

WHOOSH.

Once the post was ready, he turned on the recording function. Shen Fei directly activated the Teleportation Array on the walls of [Yang City]. With another WHOOSH, his body vanished from Qing City in an instant.

SWOOSH.

When his vision cleared, Shen Fei found himself in [Ye City], located in the West Suburb of Songhai.
