Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

"Hm? Again?"

Shen Fei had just teleported to the advancing team. Before he could even greet anyone, his brow furrowed. He realized his personal panel had opened on its own again, and lines of text were automatically scrolling by!

[DING!]

[Version 4.3 update detected ahead of schedule!]

[Compensating players with one additional game ability inheritance!]

[Randomizing game ability inheritance...]

[Randomizing skill...]

[DING!]

[Inherited skill: "Enlarge and Reduce"]

While Shen Fei was still stunned, an entry that hadn’t even begun its inheritance process—Skills—appeared on his personal Attributes Panel. Under the Skills tab, a new skill had been added: Enlarge and Reduce.

[Enlarge and Reduce: Allows the user to shrink or enlarge the size of items, including but not limited to Defense Towers.] 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The second inheritance phase had begun, and Shen Fei had inherited something extra again. The last time, during the first game ability inheritance, he had received the Tower Master’s belt ahead of schedule. Now, as the second phase began, he hadn’t escaped it! He had prematurely obtained the skill—Enlarge and Reduce.

"Holy crap! It’s not over!"

It’s still targeting me!

It had been a week. Aside from the first inheritance, when he had been different from everyone else and inherited an extra item, the inheritances of the other six days had all been the same. Shen Fei had thought the whole thing was over. He never expected that with the start of the second inheritance phase, it would happen again!

But he didn’t want it!

Every gift of fate has a hidden price tag! He knew this better than anyone! He didn’t want anything extra!

WHOOSH.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t something he could refuse just because he didn’t want it. The rules had simply forced it on him. He had to take it, whether he wanted to or not!

"Fuck!"

The price won’t come due during the fight for the Neutral City, will it...? I can’t afford any mistakes while trying to capture a Neutral City!

His expression changed as a wave of anxiety washed over him. He was very powerful, but compared to the Rules that had triggered this global ability inheritance, he was still infinitely outmatched. Although he had managed to make it stall once before, that didn’t change the vast gap between him and the Rules.

"Big Bro! Look!"

Just as Shen Fei was frowning, thinking about what precautions to take, Wang Dapang came over with his phone. The phone was livestreaming the Qing City team’s advance.

"What the hell!"

"The Qing City Tourism Management Office is targeting a small city?"

"That’s it?"

"That’s it?"

"That’s it?"

"What kind of garbage is this? That’s all?"

In the Qing City Tourism Management Office’s rapidly trending livestream, newly arrived netizens started complaining the moment they heard that Qing City’s target was just a small city. There was a large city right near Qing City, after all. The fact that Qing City wasn’t going for the large city and was instead targeting a small one left everyone feeling frustrated.

We came here to see something big, and this is what you show us?

"This is the so-called [Cyan God] you guys were talking about? This? He’s not even as good as the guy from our city. Our city is targeting a Neutral City!"

"Exactly! Look at the Immortal Emperor from Songhai City, now that’s what you call awesome! He’s leading his people to attack a large city, and the battle has already started!"

"Right!! So petty!!"

"I’m out, I’m out. Going to watch Songhai City’s stream. The Immortal Emperor and his team are in the middle of their Neutral City assault!"

"Leaving, leaving..."

Qing City’s low-ball target caused many people to lose interest instantly. Even though Qing City had become the safest city with the lowest casualty rate over the past five days, Shen Fei hadn’t made a public move in all that time. He had just wiped out four monster tides in quick succession, which had stunned many people, but it had happened too fast; he had annihilated them with incredible speed.

Now, the netizens who had been swept into the Qing City Tourism Management Office’s livestream immediately lost all enthusiasm upon discovering that Qing City’s Neutral City target was so weak.

Why would I watch you take on a small city when I could be watching the dozen or so assaults on large cities, or the dozens of assaults on medium ones?

"It’s fine. Let’s just test the waters first, give the troops some practice! If the small one is easy, we’ll go for a large city afterward..."

With Wang Dapang’s arrival, everyone turned to look at Shen Fei. He understood. This was what everyone was thinking; they wanted to change their target.

After all, with Shen Fei on their side, the Qing City team’s Combat Power definitely ranked in the top three among all the teams in Xia Country. Even without him, the Qing City Tourism Management Office team, with people like Zhang Qiqiang, Wang Dapang, and Father Shen, still had enough overall Combat Power to rank in the top fifteen nationwide. The top fifteen teams were all targeting large cities, while their target was a small one. It seemed far too petty. Setting aside the embarrassment, the rewards from capturing it would be much less than what others would get.

"Don’t worry. The event lasts for three days. We have plenty of time!" Shen Fei was still determined to attack the small city.

He already knew that in his past life, all the major cities across the globe were granted by National Treasure Divine Artifacts. The cities that players managed to capture were all small ones. Besides, according to current statistics, there were over six hundred teams in Xia Country attempting to capture cities. But in his past life, only nine of them had succeeded...

Knowing this, Shen Fei wasn’t about to get arrogant. His primary goal was to secure at least one city. Regardless of its size, he needed a guaranteed win. Once he had that safety net, he could start planning for more.

"Alright then!"

Receiving this firm confirmation from Shen Fei again, Wang Dapang and the others didn’t press the issue. Online, many netizens had already shifted their attention. Shen Fei hadn’t made any public moves in five days, and they had since witnessed many epic and tragic battles elsewhere. However, the locals of Qing City still trusted Shen Fei and followed his lead.
