Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

Moreover, with time being so tight, he had forgotten whether or not a Gluttonous Snake had appeared in Xihong City. He did remember that a powerful Gluttonous Snake had ravaged the Earth in his past life, but he never expected one to be charging toward Qing City.

In his past life... This... probably... maybe... this didn’t happen, right?

Through the livestream of a user named Wang Dapang, Shen Fei saw the enormous Super Gluttonous Snake. After a brief assessment of the snake, he sprang into action.

The [Attribute Enhancement Tower] had one use left. He had just tested the full power of his area-of-effect towers—the Wind Tower, Rain Tower, and Fire Tower. He had also tested the single-target Star-destroying Defense Tower on a stationary target.

Seeing the giant Super Gluttonous Snake reminded him of a single-target, Immortal Technique-type defense tower he had inherited, one specializing in attacking moving targets.

SWOOSH!

Even as he was thinking, Shen Fei placed another Defense Tower.

Shen Fei had placed a Defense Tower that could be considered the Immortal Technique type. He remembered that Taiyi Zhenren also had this tower...

"Off you go!"

After placing the Defense Tower, Shen Fei immediately boosted its range to 50km and quickly locked onto the Super Gluttonous Snake. As a single-target Defense Tower that could only fire once every five minutes, the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect Defense Tower’s stats were currently bare, without any buffs. Its Attributes could be improved again once he inherited various skills and support-type defense towers.

Worried that its Attack Power wouldn’t be enough, Shen Fei switched the attack mode to Heavy Sword Form.

It’s fine if this doesn’t kill it! As long as you dare to enter the 5km radius around the villa, I guarantee you won’t be leaving alive! Shen Fei thought to himself as his gaze followed the Heavy Sword streaking across the sky.

This Super Gluttonous Snake had only inherited 10% of its in-game abilities. Still, he was worried that his Defense Tower wouldn’t be able to one-shot an elite boss of this level. After all, it was just the attack from a single, unbuffed tower.

However, it wouldn’t matter if it didn’t die in one hit. As long as this elite boss dared to enter the 5km range of his defense towers, he would unleash all ten of them and guarantee an easy kill!

BOOM!

Under Shen Fei’s watchful gaze, the Heavy Sword skimmed past Wang Dapang’s head and slammed into the forehead of the Super Gluttonous Snake, a creature thicker than a train car. Then, it sliced straight through, as smoothly as a hot knife through butter.

That’s it? He had just been worried he couldn’t kill the boss and would have to fight it again within his 5km range. Shen Fei had never expected another instant kill. The scenario he was contemplating—needing a second strike—never even got the chance to play out...

Hm? He had just seen the Super Gluttonous Snake get killed so easily and was about to take a curious look at the unique way it turned into blocks upon death when his vision suddenly flickered and he lost the feed.

Did the range boost expire?

His Detection Tower only had a 5km range. He could only see 50km away thanks to the effect of the [Attribute Enhancement Tower]. However, that range boost only lasted for an hour. Between controlling the Tornado, firing the Star-Slaying Tower, and the flight time of the Heavy Sword’s killing blow, the time was finally up.

The Detection Tower’s range snapped back to 5km, and he could no longer see 50km into the distance. If he wanted to extend the range again, he would have to wait two more hours for the [Attribute Enhancement Tower] to come off cooldown...

"What is all this nonsense!"

"One minute we’re told to evacuate, the next we’re not!"

"So are we supposed to sleep or not?!"

"Are we evacuating or not?!"

.

As Shen Fei pulled back his focus, he was about to check the online discussions about his attacks when he suddenly heard his mother’s exasperated complaints from the next room.

An hour ago, all the citizens of Qing City had received the order for a full evacuation due to the coming Undead Calamity. Although Mrs. Shen had been reassured by Shen Fei’s words, she had still made some preparations. But she never expected that only a short while later, another notice would arrive saying the Undead Calamity had been destroyed. A full evacuation was no longer needed; everyone was to return home. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Just as everyone was discussing in their group chats what had happened and how it had all been a false alarm, she received another community notice. It said some kind of giant snake had arrived and they had to prepare to evacuate again. She had just steeled herself and was getting ready to leave again when, unexpectedly, she received yet another notice.

The evacuation was off again... That giant snake had been taken care of, too...

Being jerked around emotionally twice in a row had left Mrs. Shen completely exasperated.

"Oh, Mom, I’ll accompany you to bed, Your Majesty!"

Seeing her mother’s frustration, Shen Yue, who had already pieced everything together from the internet, quickly took her mother’s arm. Earlier that day, she had planned to bring her best friend home to stay, but her friend had disagreed and gone back to her own home after leaving school. While chatting with her best friend, Shen Yue helped her mother into the bedroom. At the same time, she shot a curious glance at her older brother, Shen Fei.

She didn’t know if her brother was the person being so fervently discussed online. Part of her thought it was possible, but another part of her found it impossible to believe. That sky-piercing Fire Tornado, that world-ending Destructive Light, and that ancient Heavy Sword were simply too powerful. She couldn’t fathom how her brother could have inherited such immense power...

WHOOSH...

WHOOSH...

WHOOSH...

Mrs. Shen and Shen Yue went to rest, but there were still many people in Qing City who felt the same frustration. Those who inherited game abilities were, after all, a minority. After being jerked around by the back-and-forth evacuation orders, countless ordinary citizens were simply speechless. Some even developed a sense of resignation, a feeling of, ’Fine, whatever. I’m tired! Let the world end.’

First came the Undead Calamity, then the all-devouring great snake. The wave of terror left them completely rattled. Some had even heard that because the situation was so critical, an order had been issued to abandon the organized evacuation and for everyone to flee for their own lives. It was just that this order hadn’t been broadcast for very long.

The residents of Qing City spent the night in a state of panic...

.

"Qing City has a Deity!"

"Qing City has a Deity!"

"So it’s that powerhouse protecting Qing City after all!"

"I really want to go to Qing City!"

"I wish my city had a powerhouse like that!"

"The sense of security is overwhelming! I’m leaving for Qing City right now. I was on my way to Xihong City, and it’s a perfect time to turn around!"

"Let’s go! To Qing City!"

"Let’s go! To Qing City!"

Unlike the panicked and frustrated residents of Qing City, people from other cities online were now incredibly envious of those living there. The previous Fire Tornado, Destructive Light, and colossal Heavy Sword had already gone viral worldwide. Countless people envied Qing City’s ability to halt the beast tides, eradicate them at their source, and even destroy a Super Boss. Innumerable people were even arranging to travel to Qing City for protection.

With the apocalypse now here, two consecutive days of sudden monster invasions had left many people terrified. Although the newly established Tourism Management Office was killing monsters and providing aid today, their efforts were nothing compared to the powerhouse in Qing City, who could display such overwhelming combat strength. There was simply no comparison.

Many resourceful individuals had already started gathering information from Qing City’s online networks. They discovered a circular area in the city, five kilometers in radius, where no monsters rampaged and where there were no players who had inherited evil abilities. These observant people hastily gathered their families and began rushing toward Qing City.

Online, everyone was analyzing it from every angle. Some said the powerhouse was an Immortal Emperor, others said he was a Magic God, and still others claimed he was a Mechanical Deity... But for all the discussion, no one could come to an accurate judgment about the abilities the Qing City powerhouse had inherited.

Nevertheless, the fact that Qing City had such a guardian was now known to all. Countless pieces of information about Qing City were rapidly spreading and evolving online, just like the news of the Celestial Horse defeating Bai Dai the night before...
