Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

"Huh?"

Before he could even launch his attack, Shen Fei froze. He saw a massive, hollowed-out black character, like one from an oracle bone script, floating up from the large city’s center ahead of him.

"Yu!!"

The colossal character for "Yu," outlined in the oracle bone script style, rapidly solidified.

What the hell? A text-based ability? I remember hearing about some group that inherited text-based abilities!

The thought had barely formed when Shen Fei saw the giant "Yu" character flare with light, followed by a sudden clap of thunder from a clear sky. The moat outside Yang City’s walls instantly began to swell. In the blink of an eye, the water level surged to over a hundred meters, like a legendary deluge. Then, like an apocalyptic tidal wave, an endless torrent of water appeared, surging ferociously across the battlefield outside Yang City.

The hundred-meter-high torrent was completely unstoppable, washing over the entire battlefield. Faced with a slippery Shen Fei who darted all over the field and was impossible to pin down, the ancient Xia Dynasty capital, Yang City, had summoned a special tidal wave attack. The Xia Dynasty’s Emperor, Yu the Great, was known for taming the floods. Of course he could also control water!

In an instant, the flat plains around Yang City had become a churning ocean. Tidal waves hundreds of meters high surged, leaving Shen Fei no room to maneuver.

So you’re good at running? At jumping? At escaping? I’ll just flood everything. Let’s see where you run to now!

The colossal volume of water didn’t just submerge everything; it carried an unstoppable force that smashed everything in its path. More importantly, this was no ordinary water. It was a special torrent with an extremely unusual gravity and density.

"Damn it!"

Facing the raging tide, Shen Fei’s mind went numb.

How am I supposed to stop this?! Where can I even run?

Use the Enlarge and Reduce skill, make the Defense Tower as big as possible, and just take the wave head-on?

The thought flashed through his mind.

No!

He rejected the idea almost immediately. The water had a murky green sheen to it; it just didn’t look right. He didn’t dare let his Defense Towers get touched by it.

"Teleportation Gate Tower, start absorbing!"

Let’s see what’s faster, your tide or my suction!

As the tide rushed toward him, Shen Fei enlarged one of the Teleportation Gate Tower’s Teleportation Gates to its maximum size of three hundred meters and placed it in front of him.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The surging tide poured directly into the Teleportation Gate. With a quick thought, Shen Fei opened the other Teleportation Gate at the location of Qing City’s northern airport. He happened to have a huge, deep pit there, left over from when he had annihilated the monster tide at the airport. Now, as the Earth grew larger, that pit was also expanding. With no time to think twice, he sent the absorbed tide through the other Teleportation Gate, transporting it directly into the pit.

"Break!"

The tide in front was blocked, but the water was still surging in from the sides. However, by blocking the direct assault, Shen Fei had bought himself a few precious seconds. In this moment of crisis, he didn’t retreat. Instead, he continued to command his Defense Towers to bombard the nearly depleted City Shield.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Amid the chaos, Shen Fei struck four more times. Finally, just before the tide could submerge him, the Shield’s ten million health points were completely depleted.

With a CRACK, the City Shield shattered. The residual energy from the Defense Towers’ attacks broke through and struck the floating oracle bone character for "Yu." As the character crumbled, the endless tide vanished into thin air.

"What the hell!"

Turning his head, Shen Fei saw that the War Elephant Array and Stone-Throwing Giants that had been chasing him across the battlefield were completely unharmed. He didn’t know if they could swim or if the tide was simply harmless to allies. In any case, after the hundred-meter-high tide disappeared, the War Elephants and Giants were completely unscathed and began charging at him once more.

Did I just create an artificial lake?

The tide on the siege battlefield around Yang City had completely vanished. But Shen Fei realized that the immense volume of special water he had teleported via the Teleportation Gate Tower had not disappeared. Instead, it had collected at the Qing City airport, forming a massive lake.

"Draw the enemy’s attention!"

The Shield was finally broken. Now the Detection Tower could penetrate the city to search for the Heart of the City. After a quick glance at the unusual lake, Shen Fei shouted to the pale-faced man flying high in the sky. With the Shield shattered, the next step was to destroy the Heart of the City. Having cooperated seven times already, the two of them were very familiar with this routine.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The pale-faced man knew his next objective was to draw their attention so that Shen Fei could quickly locate the Heart of the City, so he didn’t need to attack anymore. Without another word, he began to fly rapidly around the city. As he flew, he made all sorts of taunting gestures. In response to his provocations, all kinds of attacks from the city walls were launched at him. Even the Vertical-Eyed Squad, which had originally been attacking Shen Fei, now aimed at the pale-faced man in the sky.

While continuing to dodge the War Elephant Array and the Stone-Throwing Giants, Shen Fei controlled his Detection Tower, rapidly searching the city ahead for its Heart of the City. He glanced at the time. He knew he had to be fast. Only a dozen or so minutes remained before the start of the first city’s Second Tier. He didn’t have much time left.

"Hm?"

Using the Detection Tower, his gaze swept rapidly across the huge city before him. Ignoring the magnificent, solemn ancient architecture—its mountains and rivers, its fields and houses—Shen Fei rapidly searched for something out of the ordinary.
