Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

"What the fuck!"

"Version 4.1 is updating now?"

Hearing the voice ring out beside him, Shen Fei was utterly dumbfounded.

The so-called Version 4.0 update was this moment, when game abilities began to be inherited into reality. He knew that, of course. But Shen Fei had never expected that Version 4.1 would update at this time as well.

This is obviously wrong! According to my experience from my past life, Version 4.1 was supposed to arrive a week after the game abilities were inherited. In other words, it was only supposed to start after the first set of abilities had been fully inherited. But now, only a minute has passed since the ability inheritance began, and it’s already starting? This is way too far ahead of schedule!

Holy shit! Is it because of me? The "special player influence"... was that me?

Seeing the reason for Version 4.1’s early update, Shen Fei began to panic. According to his memories from his past life, the Version 4.1 update was supposed to be seven days after the ability inheritance. Version 4.2 was a month later; Version 4.3 was a quarter later...

In his previous life, before he was reborn, three years had passed, and Azure Star had only updated to Version 4.7. Many people had once speculated that if Version 4.0 was the inheritance of game abilities, then the major update to Version 5.0 would be even more incredible...

Now, seeing Version 4.1 update ahead of schedule, Shen Fei grew tense.

The current time is "00:01:00." Only one minute has passed since the ability inheritance, and Version 4.1 has already arrived. So, how much earlier will Versions 4.2, 4.3, 4.4... or even 5.0 arrive? Version 4.1 arrived in just one minute. Compared to the week it took in my past life, the pace has increased by hundreds, even thousands of times!

Shen Fei remembered that in his past life, some people had specifically studied it. Version 4.0: Game abilities begin to be inherited into reality. Version 4.1: The reproductive ability of monsters invading reality is activated, allowing them to multiply and form beast tides. Subsequent versions included the complete digitalization of the world, the descent of Neutral Cities, the appearance of game Secret Realms on Earth, and so on...

But all of this was supposed to happen gradually as Earth leveled up, and as the players’ game abilities were inherited. It wasn’t supposed to all come rushing in ahead of schedule like this! Did the version updates really speed up because of me? Was that necessary? I just spent a little more money on the game! Was it really so necessary!?!?!?

Faced with the news of the Version 4.1 update, all Shen Fei could do was complain. Obviously, with the accelerated version updates, many things he knew in advance were now subject to change... Worse, because of Version 4.1’s early arrival, the butterfly effect could cause the descent of NPCs and game bosses to be moved up as well...

[DING!]

[VERSION 4.1 UPDATE!]

[COMPENSATING PLAYERS WITH ONE ADDITIONAL GAME ABILITY INHERITANCE!]

[RANDOMIZING GAME ABILITY INHERITANCE...]

[RANDOMLY SELECTED: GAME EQUIPMENT...]

[DING!]

[ONE PIECE OF TOWER MASTER EQUIPMENT WILL BE INHERITED!]

Just as Shen Fei was rapidly thinking about how to deal with this off-schedule version update, more text suddenly scrolled across his panel...

"Hm?"

Seeing the extra piece of Tower Master equipment that had suddenly appeared in his inventory, Shen Fei’s eyes widened.

"Did you guys inherit anything else?"

Unsure if this compensation was unique to him or if everyone had received it, Shen Fei looked toward his family. Then, he saw his parents and sister shake their heads...

The compensation was only for me?

Confirming that he was the only one to receive the extra game ability inheritance, Shen Fei’s brow furrowed instantly.

I’m the only one who got this compensation? This... this... this isn’t good at all! Every gift from fate comes with a hidden price tag!

This was different from the previous unexpected situations, which had allowed him to spend more money and given him more avenues to leverage his Krypton Gold status. This particular unexpected situation was not a good thing. Even if he had inherited an extremely important piece of Tower Master equipment, it still wasn’t a good thing!

"Damn it!"

Regarding inheriting an extra piece of equipment that others didn’t get, Shen Fei felt more alarm than pleasant surprise.

WHOOSH.

Still surprised, he took out the inherited equipment.

[Name: Belt (Part of the Executioner Set)]

[Quality: Orange]

[Defense Tower Slots: +10 (Allows Defense Towers to be carried)]

[Tower Master Ranged Skill Effect: +10%]

A belt as wide as a palm, engraved with mysterious runes, appeared in Shen Fei’s hands. The mysterious patterns on the belt pulsed with a unique light. Along the very center of the belt were ten small, pouch-like objects.

WHOOSH.

With a single thought, the "Tower Master Belt" inherited from the game automatically fastened itself around Shen Fei’s waist.

WHOOSH.

With another thought, the ten Defense Towers that had been in his panel’s inventory appeared directly on the belt’s small pouches. The ten Defense Towers, now shrunk to the thickness of an arm, automatically inserted themselves into the belt’s slots and hung there...

Thanks to the unexpected inheritance of the Tower Master belt, the problem Shen Fei had just been worried about—the difficulty of placing his Defense Towers wherever he wanted—was immediately solved! With the function provided by the Tower Master belt, he could now place and move his ten Defense Towers at will.

Although he still didn’t know the price of fate’s gift, the gift’s effect had certainly given Shen Fei a huge, immediate boost...

"CROAK! CROAK! CROAK!"

Just as Shen Fei finished studying his abilities and was preparing to place his Defense Towers and release his Mist Tower to envelop the family villa, the frog on his sister Shen Yue’s shoulder suddenly began to shriek violently.

"What’s wrong!"

"What’s happening?!"

Seeing the frog instantly transform to over two meters tall and croak frantically at something nearby, Father Shen and Mrs. Shen, who had been staring at Shen Fei in astonishment, both cried out. The apocalyptic scene in the distance had already filled the old couple with worry. Their son’s expression had just changed from disappointment to delight. Just as the two of them were about to ask their son what was going on, they never expected their daughter’s red frog to suddenly act up.

The frog’s shrill cries were terrifying. At this moment, with a chaotic era dawning, it instantly put everyone on high alert...

A ghost-type player? Someone invisible? Is a Divine Sense sweeping over us? Someone moving at super speed?

The frog’s abnormal behavior put Shen Fei on alert as well. He didn’t know his sister’s frog’s abilities yet, but this strange behavior clearly meant something was nearby. Shen Fei instantly thought of many possibilities.

WHOOSH.

While thinking, Shen Fei didn’t hesitate for a second and waved his hand.

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

In the blink of an eye, Shen Fei deployed ten massive Defense Towers.

Mist Tower!

Anti-Invisibility Tower!

Zhongkui Tower!

Forbidden Magic Tower!

Vine Tower!

Spirit Speech Tower!

Guard Tower!

.

.

Shen Fei instantly deployed ten Defense Towers capable of handling a situation like this. With the "Tower Master Belt" that allowed him to move the Defense Towers freely, he had no worries about placing them.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

The moment the Defense Towers appeared, they formed a circle around the Shen Family’s villa like towering Totem Poles. The dense Mist Tower immediately released a controllable fog, completely concealing the ten massive cylindrical structures...

Then, all the Defense Towers’ functions were fully activated...

In less than a second, Shen Fei saw him: a man in a security guard uniform, hiding furtively in a corner, clutching a bloody baseball bat, and staring at his sister with a malevolent gaze...

He inherited the Invisibility Technique?

A single scan from the Anti-Invisibility Tower had revealed the man hidden in the shadows. Seeing the man’s soaking wet and naked lower body and the perverse look he was giving his sister, Shen Fei, not caring about the disgusting sight, waved his hand without a second thought.

SWISH!

A vine as thick as an arm shot out from the ground, coiled around the invisible man like a python, and instantly dragged him underground.

"AH—!"

He had just used his inherited invisibility ability to capture a beautiful woman, planning to keep her as a captive for his enjoyment. Then he had remembered that the Shen Family had a stunningly beautiful daughter, so the security guard rushed over. He never expected that he would be dragged underground before he could even make a move.

The security guard, a rapist and murderer, only had time for a single scream before he was dragged completely into the earth.

CRUNCH!

Silently controlling the Vine Tower to twist the security guard’s body into mincemeat, Shen Fei nonchalantly retracted the vine.

The chaotic era has already begun. There are no longer any taboos against killing! When faced with scum like this, I will kill them directly! My three years of experience in the apocalypse of my past life have stripped me of any mercy. When the apocalypse first began in my last life, I was soft-hearted. I was kind. But all it got me was merciless betrayal and backstabbing. After three years of apocalyptic trials, I will no longer play the part of a bleeding-heart saint...
