Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

"Damn!"

Shen Fei had never expected to get a message from the special organization, [Ethereum Punk]. Before he inherited his game abilities, he had been trying to clear out Brother Mushroom’s account and had coincidentally contacted a hacker from the Ethereum Punk Organization named "Chafeng Machine Type I." They had exchanged contact information afterward, but Shen Fei hadn’t expected them to contact him before he reached out to them.

Ethereum Punk was no ordinary group! A week ago, they had blown up the Tourism Management Headquarters’ Data Center and even openly claimed responsibility. A few days ago, they established a new forum that was practically based on real-name registration. And right after that, they released the increasingly accepted Credit Points. Moreover, Shen Fei knew that they weren’t just incredible now—they would be even more so in the future!

He never thought this "Chafeng Machine Type I" would contact him at a time like this.

"Congratulations on capturing the Neutral City, Mr. Shen!"

Chafeng Machine Type I’s greeting was also related to the Neutral City.

"Thank you!"

Not knowing their intentions, Shen Fei could only reply with a thank you.

"Is this a good time, Mr. Shen? I’m actually contacting you to ask for a favor!"

The second sentence made Shen Fei freeze. Just now, when Huang Yi had contacted him, he thought it was to ask for help, but it turned out he was just saying hello. Now, when Ethereum Punk contacted him, he thought it was just a greeting. He never expected them to be asking for a favor.

Shen Fei had never imagined that a group as powerful and special as Ethereum Punk would ask him for help!

"Uh, you’re asking me for help? I’m not sure if I can..." Unsure of what they wanted, Shen Fei typed out a line.

"No need to be so modest, Mr. Shen! Take a look at these pictures!!"

Before Shen Fei could finish being polite, the other party sent a whole pile of photos. The photos showed the majestic and imposing major city—[Yang City]—in the morning light. Besides Yang City, there were also photos of the Ghostly City, the Grassland City, the Agricultural City, and others.

"Mr. Shen, we didn’t intentionally probe for information about you. These pictures were posted by someone on the Forum, and we detected them!" another message came through while Shen Fei was still processing.

"I see! So, what do you need my help with?"

Shen Fei had been about to be humble, but he didn’t expect them to already know he had captured eight other cities. He knew that before the fog had rolled in, some people from Qing City had indeed managed to take photos. He just hadn’t expected Ethereum Punk to have detected the photos so quickly. He believed their explanation.

"Mr. Shen, we’re asking for help!"

"You displayed your divine might and easily captured nine cities, but for us..."

"Therefore, we would like to ask Mr. Shen..."

As Shen Fei continued to ask questions, lines of text scrolled up from the other side. Half a minute later, Shen Fei finally understood. This [Ethereum Punk] organization was actually asking for his help to defend a city. They were also in the process of capturing a Neutral City, but after clearing the First Tier, they lacked the strength to handle the defense in the Second Tier. After discovering how powerful Shen Fei was, Chafeng Machine Type I, who happened to have his contact information, reached out directly.

"Rest assured, our reward will absolutely satisfy you!"

"And we can also share a lot of special information with you!"

"As long as you help us successfully defend the city, you will be Ethereum Punk’s most trusted friend!"

After they stated their request, all sorts of promises followed.

Damn! Isn’t this a bit too much of a coincidence?

Looking at the location they sent along with their promises, Shen Fei felt a little flustered. The location where they needed help was actually near Hang City. Shen Fei didn’t know if this was the same place shown on his Traveling Frog’s map. If it was, what a coincidence! And if it wasn’t, it was still quite a coincidence! Everything was happening around Hang City.

"Mr. Shen, you can come over in that low-altitude flying vehicle manifested from the [Chariot] chess piece! The journey is long, but we can hold on for another hour or two..."

Shen Fei was surprised they had even figured out his mode of transportation. They also knew about the [Chariot] piece that Uncle Sun had displayed earlier when he picked up the Heaven-Reaching Gang members.

"What a coincidence..." Shen Fei muttered as he looked at the message from the Ethereum Punk Organization.

Go? Of course he was going to go! He was already planning on checking out the map given to him by the Traveling Frog, a frog with Treasure Hunting abilities. Now, there was also a request for help from Ethereum Punk. Shen Fei was more than happy to have such a mysterious organization owe him a favor.

Defending a city? That was far too easy for him! Right now, his experience in city defense was more extensive than anyone else’s!

"Yu! Shen Yue! Gun’Er! Dad! Uncle Li! Pang! Brother Zhang! All of you, come here!!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Having made the decision to act, Shen Fei no longer hesitated. Without a second thought, he opened a Teleportation Gate and brought them all over. After granting them the necessary permissions, Shen Fei quickly gave out instructions, including repairing the city, planning its construction, and arranging for the families of the Heaven-Reaching Gang. He assigned each task to the group. He was leaving, but the work of repairing and integrating the captured city could not stop.

"Alright! That’s the plan! Contact me directly if anything comes up! I can be back in an instant!"

After quickly arranging everything, Shen Fei took out the Divine Artifact fragment from Japan, [Nine Phases Power]. Once he had locked onto the location, he vanished with a WHOOSH.

Leaving aside how shocked and numb Zhang Qiqiang, Wang Dapang, Father Shen, Li Yunlong, and the others were upon setting foot on the walls of [Yang City] for the first time...

...after Shen Fei used the [Nine Phases Power], his vision blurred for a moment, and he arrived in a place that was distinctly warm and humid. Long-distance Teleportation, of course, had a margin of error. After composing himself slightly, Shen Fei waved his hand and summoned two Golden Guardians from the [Soldier] chess pieces to his side. Just before, upon hearing his son was leaving alone, Father Shen had forcefully stuffed two [Soldier] pieces, two [Horse] pieces, two [Chariot] pieces, and one [Cannon] piece into Shen Fei’s hands.

SWOOSH!

With the Golden Guardians standing guard, Shen Fei waved his hand again and deployed his Detection Tower. On this trip, his limit for placing Defense Towers was twenty.

WHOOSH!

The Detection Tower was released, and Shen Fei immediately began to scan the area.

"Hmm?"

A dozen or so seconds later, Shen Fei stared, dumbfounded, at the scene that appeared in his field of vision.

This... this... this is Ethereum Punk???

***

In the suburbs of Hang City, a battle for the capture of a small city only three kilometers in circumference was underway.

On the city walls stood five girls, each with a distinct appearance. The leader was a girl about 1.5 meters tall with a full head of silver hair, a small black hat that only covered half of her head, and was wearing hot pants that showed off her long legs. Her eyes were exceptionally bright, and she was currently blowing a bubble with her gum.

"Boss! He agreed! He can be here in three hours at most!!"

With a wave of her hand, a red-haired girl released a colorful, Rubik’s Cube-like object. It warped reality, instantly killing all the monsters swarming toward them. The girl, who had the letter "I" emblazoned on the chest of her jacket-like top, spoke quickly while fighting. She wasn’t tall, but she was curvy with fair skin. Her red hair danced in the air, as silky and dazzling as sunset clouds.

"Then hold out for another three hours!! Damn it!! I never thought a tiny little city would be this hard to defend!! To think we’d actually have to call for backup!!" the silver-haired leader popped her bubblegum and continued speaking as she chewed.

"Right!"

"Right!"

"Right!!"

Beside her, the girls with multicolored hair—pink, green, and blue—nodded quickly in response.

Even a small city is this difficult... How on earth did that guy capture nine of them... the red-haired girl who had just contacted Shen Fei thought to herself as she continued to unleash special reality-altering attacks to hold back the monster tide. I wonder what kind of reward we’ll have to pay this time. Damn it!!

"Huh?"

Suddenly, she looked up and saw a giant Golden Celestial Horse materialize in the sky. In the blink of an eye, it flew over the battlefield. The person on the horse saw her looking and even waved at her.

"AH!!! How is he here so fast!!! Way too fast!!!!!"

Recognizing the person on the Golden Celestial Horse as Shen Fei, the red-haired girl cried out in astonishment. She had calculated that it would take at least three hours for that special [Chariot] to arrive. How did he get here in less than five minutes?

"Ah!!"

"Ah!!"

"Ah!!"

Amidst the red-haired girl’s cries, the other girls also saw the person on the Golden Celestial Horse.

WHOOSH!

To everyone’s shock, the Celestial Horse landed on the city wall. Then, a young man, clearly a head taller than any of them, jumped off his steed.

With a gentle smile, the young man said, "Hello, ladies of Ethereum Punk. I’m Shen Fei."
