Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: You Have So Many Things, What’s Wrong With Giving Me One?

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

After hiring two laborers and stuffing the pickup truck and the SUV full of various meats, vegetables, crackers, drinking water, and other goods, Shen Fei dusted off his hands and went to find his mother, who was paying in the supermarket’s VIP room.

”Hm?”

Then, he saw the remaining balance on his mother’s bank card: over twenty million.

”Mom, how much are your stocks worth?” After paying, Shen Fei asked suddenly as he walked with his mother to the parking lot.

”Around eight or nine hundred million, I suppose. Why do you ask?”

”My shares will be split evenly between you two in the future!”

”You’ve only just started at the company and you’re already asking about shares?” Hearing her son’s question, Mrs. Shen suspected nothing and replied with a smile.

Eight or nine hundred million!

He saw his mother and sister into the SUV, telling them to follow his pickup truck. Shen Fei’s mind was preoccupied with his mother’s shares, worth over eight hundred million.

Previously, he had only sold his father’s shares. He hadn’t sold his mother’s. On one hand, he felt that selling his father’s shares would be enough. On the other, he was also worried that the apocalypse might not come, and he needed to leave a fallback plan for his family.

But now, he still hadn’t finished his Krypton Gold spending on the Gemstone, and he figured the money he had wasn’t enough. Besides, it was only a few more hours until April Fools’ Day. He would soon know if the game was truly descending upon the world. After hearing his mother still had money, he felt he should make further preparations.

If everything went as before, after midnight tonight when that voice sounded, he could still top-up during the ten-minute decision window. Only after that ten-minute window closed would the top-up channel be shut down.

If I time it right, there’s a chance I can max out my Gemstone.

I’ll get ready first!

After thinking it all through, Shen Fei decided to prepare. After the game’s invasion, real-world money would become worthless paper, and a new currency, ”Credit Points,” would be issued. Keeping the money would be pointless.

I can sell Mom’s shares too!

”Ribs, I need to sell more shares. I’ll message you at midnight tonight. Get the money ready!” he said into his phone. ”We’ll make the official trade after midnight! I’ll write up the contract, put my thumbprint on it, and send you a video of it then!”

Having made his decision, Shen Fei called the broker again. However, to leave himself an escape route, he didn’t sell his mother’s shares immediately. Instead, he planned to wait until he actually heard that voice before selling them. This way, he could advance if he was right or retreat if he was wrong.

”Huh!? You’re selling more???” Hearing Shen Fei’s words, the broker, whom he hadn’t contacted in nearly a month, shouted in astonishment. He had heard the news about someone spending a billion in the game. He had also made some private inquiries and suspected that person might be Shen Fei. Now, hearing that Shen Fei was also going to sell his mother’s shares, the broker was completely dumbfounded.

Has he been possessed? Selling off his family’s assets without a shred of guilt? But your parents aren’t even dead yet! Are you trying to tear your family apart? You won’t stop until they’re ruined, will you?

The broker knew exactly what kind of contract Shen Fei had signed. If the Shen Family didn’t hand over the shares when the time came, everyone in the family, except for Shen Fei, would be wiped out.

”Bro, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?” the broker tried to persuade Shen Fei, appealing to their past friendship.

”Just get it done!” was Shen Fei’s impatient urging.

CLICK!

After hanging up on the broker, Shen Fei muttered to himself, You’ve got a good heart. I’ll give you a hand tonight.

Shen Fei had, of course, understood the broker’s attempt to talk him out of it. Unfortunately, he had to go through with it. But he decided to repay the goodwill the broker had shown.***

”Well, now!” a voice called out. ”Isn’t that Fei? Where are you headed, buying so many supplies yourself?”

Driving onto the inner roads of the villa complex, Shen Fei was surprised to run into an acquaintance. He saw Uncle Yi, whom he had visited with his father last time. Besides Uncle Yi, his wife and son were also there. The family of three seemed to be out for a ”stroll.”

”Uncle Yi! Aunt Wang!” His truck was blocked, so Shen Fei had no choice but to stop and greet them.

”Uncle Yi! Aunt Wang!” Shen Yue, driving behind her brother, also leaned out to say hello.

”Oh, Old Yi, your family is out for a walk!” Mrs. Shen enthusiastically pushed open the car door and got out. ”Young Yi, you’ve lost weight!” she added, looking at the young man standing next to Uncle Yi and his wife. He was thin, with severe dark circles and a waxy complexion. She patted his shoulder.

”Thinner is good, thinner is safer!” Uncle Yi knew his son’s condition was from excessive debauchery, but he still nodded and smiled.

Looking at the smiling Mrs. Shen before him, Uncle Yi sneered inwardly, Compared to that spendthrift son of yours, my son is so much better... Just a moment ago, the consortium backing Uncle Yi had contacted him. They told him about Shen Fei’s latest decision to sell Mrs. Shen’s shares as well. In response, all Uncle Yi could do was hurry and buy another batch. He had also interrogated his own son again. When he discovered his son was only participating in various ”orgies” and nothing else, Uncle Yi felt nothing but relief. Thankfully, my son didn’t secretly sell shares. Thankfully, my son didn’t sell *my* shares to play games.

Encountering Shen Fei, the very person selling his family’s shares, and then seeing the oblivious Mrs. Shen, Uncle Yi’s sense of superiority swelled to the bursting point.

”Bro, what game have you been playing lately?” Seeing his mother chatting with Uncle Yi and his wife, and noticing the mockery in Uncle Yi’s eyes, Shen Fei turned to his son. The two had played together as children but hadn’t really hung out since growing up.

”City Flower Young Master!” The pale-faced young man glanced at Shen Fei and answered casually. Then, his lecherous gaze shifted to Shen Yue, who was peeking out from the car behind them. As a campus beauty, Shen Yue’s looks were definitely top-tier.

SWOOSH!

Seeing that disgusting gaze, Shen Yue ducked back into the car and even put on her sunglasses.

BEEP!

BEEP!

BEEP!

Pissed off by the young man’s stare, Shen Fei immediately laid on his horn. You’d better behave, or else...

Having lived through three years of the apocalypse in his past life, Shen Fei had killed quite a few people. The young man’s gaze sparked a murderous intent within him. If this guy dared to try anything, he would make damn sure he learned the meaning of a fate worse than death.

”Alright, alright, I’m coming!” Startled by the horn, Mrs. Shen took the opportunity to break away from her conversation with Uncle Yi and his wife. She too had sensed the uncomfortable air of superiority in Uncle Yi’s expression and tone. Using her son’s honking as an excuse, Mrs. Shen headed for the car.

”Oh, my! Look at all this stuff!” another voice exclaimed. ”Went on a big shopping trip? Give me one!”

But before Mrs. Shen could get in the car, an old woman, with her grandson in tow, suddenly leaned over Shen Fei’s pickup truck.

What the fuck!

Watching the old woman rummage through his truck as if she owned it, Shen Fei cursed inwardly. Although Nanshan Villa was full of rich people, it also had its share of disgusting individuals. This old woman was one of them. Relying on her son’s status as some official, she also served as the director of the villa complex’s neighborhood committee, constantly bossing people around and putting on airs. The residents of the complex couldn’t be bothered with the trouble, so they generally avoided confronting her. Shen Fei hadn’t expected that on a simple shopping trip, this woman would actually seek him out.

Watching the old woman snatch several of the steaks he had bought, along with the darts and iron rods he’d purchased for practice, Shen Fei barked coldly, ”Put it down!”

”Why are you so stingy, young man! You have so much stuff, what’s wrong with me taking one thing! What’s wrong with letting my grandson play with this little toy! You know, this is a civilized community! Don’t let your selfishness ruin it for the rest of us!” Granny Jia had more excuses than Shen Fei had words. After he said his piece, the woman put a hand on her hip, her other hand gesturing so wildly her finger nearly poked him in the eye.

BEEEEEEEEEP—!!!!!

Seeing such an insolent person, Shen Fei laid on the horn with a long, sustained blast.

”AH—!” Startled, Granny Jia fell and landed right on her butt.

”WAAAH WAAAH WAAAH!!” Meanwhile, her little grandson, who had already opened Shen Fei’s darts and was throwing them all over the road, burst into tears.

”You’re done for! You’re done for! You don’t respect your elders! You’ve upset my little grandson!” Granny Jia shrieked, instantly starting to make a scene. ”Oof, my poor old back! Oh dear, my heart!”

Inside the car, Shen Fei’s expression turned frigid. For the month since his rebirth, he had thrown his entire heart and soul into the game. He never expected to run into someone like this just by going out today. With his apocalyptic personality, Shen Fei would have cut down a person like this with a single slash. But right now, order clearly still existed.

”Granny Jia, Granny Jia, the kid doesn’t know any better! He doesn’t know any better!” Just as Shen Fei was about to explode, Mrs. Shen rushed forward, quickly picking up some items and starting to smooth things over. ”Please forgive him, please forgive him! I’ll teach him a lesson when we get home! These few things, let the little one play with them, let him play! And these things, you take them home to nourish yourself!”

”Don’t say a word!” Seeing her son open his mouth, Mrs. Shen shot him a fierce glare.

Soon, to Shen Fei and Shen Yue’s exasperation, Granny Jia snorted triumphantly and left with the items.

Mrs. Shen quickly waved for Shen Fei to drive away. It wasn’t that they couldn’t deal with a scoundrel like her, but that it was a waste of time. She was a total nuisance, the kind that sticks to you and ruins your whole day.

WHOOSH!

Speechless, Shen Fei stomped on the gas and sped away. Uncle Yi and Granny Jia had instantly obliterated any good feelings he had toward Nanshan Villa.
