Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Ethereum Editor, Modifying Reality

”Thanks, Brother Chongtian!”

”Thanks, Brother Chongtian!”

”Our man Chongtian is a boss—all action, no talk!”

”Wishing Brother Chongtian a big dick, great skills, and an orgy every night!”

In the game *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*, Shen Fei continued to send red envelopes to his fans on the world map. All around him, the miniature avatars of various Tower Masters displayed messages of thanks above their heads.

Everyone was incredibly glad to have participated in the crowdfunding for Brother Chongtian’s Gemstones. Because of it, not only had they gotten their crowdfunded money back in the QQ group earlier, but now, in the game, they had received another wave of Gold Coins of roughly the same value.

Many of them were filled with excitement. They even resolved that if Brother Chongtian ever made a rallying cry, they would flock to his banner without hesitation. Even if Brother Chongtian led them to another game, most would follow. The truth was, having a leader so powerful and so generous... it was simply too wonderful.

”I’m so glad I contributed to Brother Chongtian’s crowdfunding!” someone typed in the local channel, expressing their feelings.

”I’m so glad I canceled my social engagement tonight and logged on!”

”I’m so glad I played *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*.”

Many others echoed the sentiment.

According to their private discussions, Brother Chongtian had already given away over a million Gold Coins in just this short amount of time. Everyone felt truly fortunate to have met such a whale in the game.

Seeing everyone’s emotional posts, Shen Fei just wanted to say one thing: After tonight, when you start inheriting your abilities from the game, you’ll be even more fortunate!

At this moment, they were amazed not only because he was handing out red envelopes and Gold Coins, but also because he, a whale who’d spent a billion, was willing to treat them as one of his own. But in just over twenty hours, when the game truly descended upon reality, the real flood of gratitude would come...

”Hey, can I ask, what was up with that voice from before?”

”Did everyone else hear it?”

After excitedly collecting their red envelopes, someone finally brought it up.

”Yeah, I thought someone was playing an April Fools’ prank on me!”

”But after talking with all you brothers, I realized it seems to be real!”

”Yeah!”

”Yeah!”

Everyone was extremely curious about the voice.

”Oh, right, I remember Brother Chongtian told us to choose *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*. Did everyone do it?” someone steered the conversation toward Shen Fei.

”I did!”

”Of course I did!”

”Definitely, I’m a die-hard Brother Chongtian fan!”

”Chose it, had to. I usually prefer Landlord Poker, but I still chose *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*!”

The topic shifted back to the choice of game.

”I heard the voice too. I just thought it’d be fun for us to play together, so I mentioned it in the QQ group earlier...” Seeing the conversation quickly turn to the mysterious voice, Shen Fei offered a casual explanation.

Of course, he wasn’t about to speak carelessly about the real situation. With just over twenty hours left until the game abilities were inherited, he didn’t want to expose how special he was. This was the final step. He had to be more cautious and meticulous than ever.

”Um...”

He was just about to remind everyone to spend all the Gold Coins they had received and the money they had topped up. Suddenly, Shen Fei’s phone rang.

”Hello!”

Seeing the caller ID, Shen Fei answered immediately.

”Hello, Boss. Mission complete. The list and videos have been sent to your email!” a discreet and rapid voice said as soon as the call connected.

”Good, well done!”

Opening his email, Shen Fei saw the list of the ”Mushroom Enthusiast’s” hacked game accounts and the accompanying videos sent by the hacker, and he nodded slightly.

「A few weeks ago」

After discovering information about the ”Mushroom Enthusiast,” the one who would launch nuclear bombs all over the world in the future, he had contacted a super-hacker organization through a middleman to target Brother Mushroom. His agreement with the hacker organization at the time was to close the case after 12:20 AM on April Fools’ Day.

Now, the time was 12:30 AM, and the hacker was contacting him for the final payment.

”I appreciate the hard work.”

”You did a good job!”

After opening the videos and focusing his review on Brother Mushroom’s accounts in *Super Weapon Dominance*—confirming they were either stolen or had their resources wiped—Shen Fei promptly settled the final payment.

Although he knew these hackers probably couldn’t wipe out all of Brother Mushroom’s game accounts completely, Shen Fei still paid up without hesitation. As long as they hacked his *Super Weapon Dominance* account, the one with millions of Mushroom Bombs, that was enough. The main issue was that this game had too many Mushroom Bombs. One or two, or even a few hundred, wouldn’t have been a problem. But inheriting millions of them at once? That would be a disaster. Wiping the account of Brother Mushroom—the number one whale in *Super Weapon Dominance* and a psychologically twisted individual—was sufficient.

As for any game accounts from Brother Mushroom’s childhood, ones he hadn’t logged into for the past half-month and that the hackers had never seen and thus couldn’t hack, Shen Fei wasn’t concerned. As long as there weren’t millions of Mushroom Bombs, it would be fine.

”You’re a generous boss!”

Shen Fei’s prompt payment made the hacker on the other end very happy. This job had been safe and easy money.

”By the way, boss, seeing as you’re so good at games, what do you think that voice from earlier was all about?”

The transaction was complete, but to Shen Fei’s surprise, the hacker didn’t hang up. Instead, he started asking about something else. Shen Fei was a major whale, and the security measures on his computer were extreme. The hacker organization had, of course, also heard the voice. As their business concluded, he suddenly wanted to ask a gaming whale like Shen Fei for his take on it. After all, the voice’s main focus was ”games”...

”So, did you choose to inherit a game?” Surprised that the hacker was pressing the issue, Shen Fei didn’t answer but asked a question of his own.

”We did,” the hacker replied. ”Better to believe it just in case, right?”

Shen Fei asked, ”And what did you choose?”

”A hacking game, of course,” the hacker said. ”*Ethereum Punk Dominance*...”

Fuck! Hearing the hacker’s answer, Shen Fei’s heart leaped into his throat.

”Did you guys spend money on that game?” Shen Fei was internally ecstatic but kept his voice calm as he asked.

”We did!” The hacker was slightly puzzled by Shen Fei’s excitement.

Holy shit! Shen Fei thought. Ethereum Editor technology! The ability to electronically modify reality!? He hadn’t expected to catch such a big fish from a casual chat.

In the future, after the game abilities were inherited, even though Earth would expand to dozens of times its size, even though all sorts of terrifying creatures would slowly fill every corner of the planet, forming various forbidden zones and Secret Realms, and even with the appearance of countless new mountains and rivers... humanity’s signals and networks never went down. This was because a group of tech geeks had inherited abilities from computer-tech-related games. Among them, the most famous was a hacking technique called ”Ethereum.” Inheriting this kind of game-based technical ability not only required spending Krypton Gold in the game, but the inheritor also had to possess a certain level of real-world hacking skill...

In the future, this group of players, who had inherited the powerful ”Ethereum Editor” ability, would use ’Ethereum’ to modify reality, allowing humanity’s signals and networks to persist. Besides their communication capabilities, this group could also use this ability to directly edit reality for monster hunting and combat. In any case, it was simply magical!

In his past life, Shen Fei had heard rumors about this but had never actually met such a person. Now, with just a brief chat, he hadn’t expected that he would actually encounter them himself...

”Hey, uh, let’s add each other as friends. I might need your services again in the future!”

Filled with excitement, Shen Fei and the hacker added each other on WeChat and QQ. Although he didn’t know how the hackers managed to hide their true identities on real-name-verified platforms like WeChat and QQ, Shen Fei didn’t dwell on it. He was thinking about another mysterious marketplace—”Network VI.”

He had once heard that a mysterious ”Ethereum Punk” organization had established ”Network VI” as a clandestine auction house. It was a place to trade goods and exchange top-secret intelligence. Now, with the contact information for this hacker codenamed ”Chafeng Machine Type I,” he felt that after the game abilities were inherited, he should be able to join it.

A new channel had been established, an unexpected benefit from his other plans.

PHEW...

”What a pleasant surprise!”

After adding the hacker ”Chafeng Machine Type I” as a friend, Shen Fei’s face was all smiles. The apocalypse hadn’t even arrived, yet he had already found a mysterious channel in advance. He had originally only intended to deal with the player who would recklessly fire off Mushroom Bombs in the future. He never expected to accidentally acquire the contact information for a secret organization...

This was great!

Of course, while the Ethereum Editor technology was powerful, Shen Fei wasn’t fazed in the slightest...
