Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

Chapter 67: Chapter 63: 108 Wang Yuyans

Back in the game, Huang Yi had communicated with ’Skyrocketing’ before.

He knew that the man’s real-world location was Qing City.

Even though in the video, the man on the Golden Celestial Horse had a blurry and indistinct face, by combining the two data points—the Tenth Tier Divine Thunder Tower and the Qing City airport—Huang Yi instantly determined that this was Skyrocketing, whose Combat Power was hundreds of times higher than his own.

In the game, he had focused exclusively on Defense Towers related to ’Immortal Techniques,’ which was why he possessed a Ninth-Tier Thunder Defense Tower.

As for who owned a Tenth-Tier Thunder Defense Tower, only Skyrocketing, number one on the Combat Power rankings, had one.

Only Skyrocketing could summon a Tenth-Tier Divine Thunder Tower in reality.

As he rapidly scrolled through the hundreds of thousands of shocked replies below the video, Huang Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly. He saw that there were all sorts of guesses about the man’s identity. Someone even guessed he was ’Taiyi Zhenren,’ while very few people suspected it was ’Skyrocketing.’

This was because in the thread, a popular reply claimed: ”Skyrocketing, the whale who spent two billion, is already dead...”

As for the claim that Skyrocketing was already dead, Huang Yi certainly didn’t believe it.

He’s clearly showing off his power at the airport, so how could he be dead!

Watching the figure sitting atop the Golden Celestial Horse high in the sky, a theory formed in Huang Yi’s mind.

Did he find a partner, and that partner inherited the Golden Celestial Horse? My decision to join the Tourism Management Office was correct. A Tower Master’s physical body is too weak at this stage; we need allies! He also found a companion with a mount...

Seeing Skyrocketing’s situation in the video provided Huang Yi with yet another reason to justify his decision to join the Tourism Management Office.

I have to keep his identity a secret! I wonder if he’s the one who spread the rumor about the ’two billion spender’ being dead...

After watching the video a few more times, Huang Yi made a decision.

Although he had recognized Shen Fei’s identity, he had no intention of exposing it.

The mysterious ’Ethereum Punk’ organization had blown up the Administration’s headquarters just because of an information leak. He didn’t want to get targeted for exposing someone else’s secrets.

”Mr. Huang, it was my mistake, all my mistake!”

Just as Huang Yi was composing himself, the bald deputy director beside him finally reacted.

After seeing the video and confirming the invincible might of the Divine Thunder Tower, he became even more respectful toward Huang Yi, who also possessed a Divine Thunder Tower.

”Mr. Huang, I’m making an executive decision. We’ll make an exception and drop the ’provisional’ from your title!”

”You’re now an official staff member!”

Having seen how powerful the Divine Thunder Tower was, the bald deputy director immediately gave Huang Yi a promotion to keep him around. Although Huang Yi’s Defense Tower was Ninth Tier—one tier lower than the one in the video—in the bald deputy director’s eyes, there wasn’t much of a difference. The Defense Tower Huang Yi had summoned earlier hadn’t had a chance to unleash its full power. Now, seeing the tower in the video effortlessly one-shotting monsters, he felt that Huang Yi’s tower couldn’t be much weaker.

After all, they looked pretty similar!

”Oh, okay. Thank you!” Huang Yi smiled upon hearing the deputy director’s words.

RING... RING...

Before the deputy director could say another word, his phone rang again.

”Hello, Director!”

”Right!”

”Right!”

”Yes!”

”Yes, he’s with me!”

The deputy director was exceptionally deferential as he answered the phone.

”Okay!”

”Okay!”

”I understand!”

After a series of nods and affirmations, he hung up.

”Ah, Brother Huang, I was truly blind just now! You see, I sent a message to the organization reporting that you’d agreed to join the Tourism Management Office, right? Well, I didn’t expect the director to find out so quickly! He just called and promoted you directly to the level of Section Chief! Can you believe the coincidence? In the blink of an eye, we’ve become colleagues!”

The deputy director quickly explained the situation to Huang Yi.

With the Divine Thunder Tower’s divine might revealed, Huang Yi’s position skyrocketed in the blink of an eye. He went from provisional staff member to official staff member, and then, instantly, to Section Chief.

”Thank you!”

Naturally, Huang Yi was happy about the promotion. He understood that his rapid promotion was related to Skyrocketing’s video.

I’m grateful to you.

His in-game spending, the inheritance of his game abilities, and even his rapid promotion upon joining the Tourism Management Office—all of it was intricately connected to ’Skyrocketing.’

Huang Yi was a man who knew how to be grateful.

”Recruit! We have to recruit aggressively! Our internal personnel aren’t strong enough. We must recruit more powerful Ability Users like Brother Huang!” After exchanging pleasantries with Huang Yi, the bald deputy director began muttering to himself.

「A short while later.」

Having joined the Tourism Management Office, Huang Yi was led into a large hall filled with people.

Seeing that the hall was filled with beautiful women in ancient costumes, Huang Yi asked curiously, ”What is this?”

”These are Wang Yuyan!” the bald deputy director replied.

Huang Yi repeated, ”Wang Yuyan?”

”That’s right,” the deputy director said. ”There’s a tobacco department where the entire unit was playing Jin Yong’s Heroes of the Martial World. When the game inheritance happened, they all chose to inherit from that game. Many of them chose to inherit a Hero... and as a result, we got a whole crowd of Wang Yuyans.”

”How many of them are there?” Huang Yi stared curiously at the Wang Yuyans, who wore different outfits but all had nearly identical faces.

He had already learned from online analysis threads that single-player games where you could modify the data yourself couldn’t be inherited from. However, single-player games with online components could be. But there was a quirk: in these online single-player games, many people’s Heroes and equipment had the same names. For example, you have a Zhao Yun, and I also have a Zhao Yun. You have a certain Hero, and I have that same Hero.

So when these NPCs or Heroes were actually inherited into reality, who did they belong to?

Huang Yi hadn’t expected the result to be one for each person.

”One hundred and eight of them!” the deputy director answered quickly. ”In total, 108 people inherited Wang Yuyan! Others inherited Little Dragon Girl, some inherited Kang Min, and still others inherited Li Qiushui...”

”That’s pretty incredible!”

The fact that there were over a hundred Wang Yuyans in the hall filled Huang Yi with a sense of wonder.

After the Defense Tower inheritance, I got my Divine Thunder Tower, and others could have them too. But for real, living Heroes to be inherited like this... that’s a bit strange. There must be more to it! These Wang Yuyans are Heroes, which can be considered a type of accessory. When the *actual* NPC Wang Yuyan from the game’s world arrives in reality, there’s bound to be a major change! Besides, many different games have a Wang Yuyan. When the different NPC Wang Yuyans from all those games arrive, it’s definitely going to cause a huge stir!

As a boss in his own right, Huang Yi’s intelligence was certainly not lacking. Looking at so many Wang Yuyans, he instantly determined that this was far from over.

There was a much bigger story unfolding.

”Esteemed colleagues!”

”Time is short! The Tourism Management Office was established under these sudden circumstances!”

”The guiding principle of our Tourism Management Office is...”

While Huang Yi was lost in thought, someone on the main stage at the front of the hall had already begun to speak and arrange the work for the Tourism Management Office.
