Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

She had been completely blindsided. She never imagined that Shen Fei would even know about National Treasure Divine Artifacts.

”Then have you seen a National Treasure Divine Artifact?”

”We can show you information on the National Treasure Divine Artifacts in exchange for the 41% City Conquest Contribution you’re holding...” While No. 0 was still stuttering, No. III quickly shouted.

”National Treasure Divine Artifacts? Of course I’ve seen them!” Shen Fei replied. ”Are you talking about this?”

Hearing the words of the adorable, blue-haired girl, No. III, Shen Fei pulled a disc-shaped object from his jacket. The Traveling Frog had detected the aura of a Divine Artifact in the city north of Hang City, so Shen Fei knew he couldn’t keep the Divine Artifact fragment he possessed hidden. He simply took it straight out.

No. 0: ”...”

No. I: ”...”

No. II: ”...”

No. III: ”...”

No. VI: ”...”

Seeing the object in Shen Fei’s hand, the five girls were blown away once again.

What the hell! Weren’t the details about National Treasure Divine Artifacts supposed to be a secret that almost no one knew? How did he just pull out a Divine Artifact fragment right here?

Moreover, it looked like a fragment of a Divine Artifact from a major nation. The previously confident girls were completely dumbfounded.

Unbelievable! Simply unbelievable!

”AHH! How do you have that thing!”

In the end, it was the adorable No. III, who already thought Shen Fei was pretty cool, who broke the stalemate.

. . .

”Your lives have really been this eventful?” Ten minutes later, Shen Fei was sitting on the edge of the city wall, chatting with the five girls as they swung their bare feet. He was genuinely curious.

The five girls were orphans! After escaping an orphanage that had planned to sell them, they taught themselves everything, becoming genius hackers who operated from the shadows. But a month ago, just after completing a commission from Shen Fei and receiving a large sum of money, they decided to go on a trip. After paying their affiliated detectives and surveillance organizations, the five girls planned to use the money from Shen Fei to go traveling before the game’s advent.

But then, disaster struck. For the five young girls, traveling to Southeast Asia was like walking straight into a lion’s den. First, they were followed in Singapore, then knocked out and kidnapped. After that, they were trafficked to Thailand. Finally, after being passed through various hands, they were taken straight to Myanmar and nearly had their organs harvested.

The good news was, because the five girls were exceptionally beautiful, each with her own unique charm, every kidnapper wanted to sell them for a high price, so they didn’t suffer much abuse along the way. Then, on the very day the game descended, they were taken to northern Myanmar.

They thought their lives were over. Just as the five of them were about to reveal their identities as master hackers to try and escape, the unexpected happened. They inherited game abilities! At their most desperate moment, the new world began.

And then came the story of the five girls inheriting special Ethereum Editor abilities and going on a rampage. In the chaos of the game’s initial descent, they fought their way out of Myanmar, carving a path to Thailand, and then all the way to Singapore. Basically, everyone who had kidnapped them was wiped out!

But the most important part of all this was that, while on their rampage, they had actually obtained the National Treasure Divine Artifact fragments from those three countries. After returning to Xia Country, they even used the National Treasure Divine Artifact fragments to blow up the information building of the Tourism Management Headquarters. After that, using the power of the fragments again, they seized more fragments from the three countries. Then, using the power of the three nations’ Divine Artifacts combined with their unparalleled Ethereum Editor skills, they created the new Forum and Credit Points.

So badass! That’s a total main character backstory!

After hearing the five girls’ story, Shen Fei was still a bit dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected that the five girls before him actually possessed three National Treasure Divine Artifacts.

Three of them! Divine Artifacts! Can you even believe that? How is anyone else supposed to compete? Three National Treasure Divine Artifacts! Combined with their mysterious Ethereum Punk technology, that’s truly game-breaking...

Shen Fei felt their story was the stuff of legends. So legendary, it was as if the kidnapping was just an elaborate plot to deliver the Divine Artifacts to them.

”Can’t compare to you. Your Divine Artifact fragment is from a major nation; ours are just from small countries!” Seeing Shen Fei’s amazement, No. 0, who had recovered her composure, rolled her eyes.

They had originally planned to use information about the National Treasure Divine Artifacts to trade for Shen Fei’s 41% City Conquest Contribution. They never expected that not only did he already have the information, he had a National Treasure Divine Artifact in his possession. And his Divine Artifact was even a higher grade than theirs! Even though it was only a fragment, its tier was high. The trade they had envisioned didn’t happen. Instead, they were the ones who ended up shocked again.

However, the good news was that just now, Shen Fei had actually gifted the 41% contribution directly to them. This was once again beyond the girls’ wildest imaginations.

At this moment, No. 0 had successfully claimed the city beneath them. However, because time had already run out, they could no longer adjust the position of this newly conquered city. But that didn’t really matter.

”You guys have three National Treasure Divine Artifacts, so can’t you just directly inherit a Neutral City? You still need to fight for one?” Shen Fei changed the subject, voicing a question he had.

”The Divine Artifacts only allow us to inherit the so-called ’gifts’ after a version update, and only within our own country’s territory,” No. 0 answered without hiding anything. ”Besides, our Divine Artifacts aren’t complete. We only have 95%. We failed to get the last pieces, unless everyone in those three countries gets wiped out... Also, the inherited items from a small country’s National Treasure Divine Artifact are smaller, too.”

Shen Fei had earned No. 0’s approval by giving them the 41% contribution without hesitation. What No. 0 didn’t know was that every gift from fate comes with a hidden price.

”Alright! Well, since I’m done helping you all, I’m heading to northern Hang City next! You guys staying here?”

Helping the Ethereum Punk Organization defend the city was done, and he had even heard a story fit for a protagonist. He also learned that three Divine Artifacts were behind the development of the new Forum and Credit Points. Shen Fei didn’t plan to wait any longer. The objective from the map brought back by the Traveling Frog was still waiting for him.

This time, he had come to Hang City with two objectives. Right now, there was still one objective left. He originally thought the two locations were coincidentally the same, but after arriving, he discovered they weren’t.

He had met all five of the young girls from the Ethereum Punk Organization. Next, it was time to take care of business in the northern part of the city.

”You’re leaving?” No. 0 had wanted to thank Shen Fei properly and didn’t expect him to be about to leave.

”Yeah. Haven’t you already captured the city? I still have business in northern Hang City,” Shen Fei nodded and answered without hesitation. ”By the way, can the five of you hold this place? Don’t make me help you defend against the siege boss only for you to lose the city to some bad guys.”

Before leaving, Shen Fei couldn’t help but ask again. He remembered that in his past life, the Ethereum Punk Organization seemed to have—or rather, most likely had not—captured a Neutral City. In this life, with his casual help, they had obtained ownership of a small city. But their numbers were still too few. Moreover, their abilities were better suited for covert operations. When it came to situations like defending a city, which required direct confrontation, they were still a bit on the weaker side.

”It’s fine... no one will dare to mess with us!” Hearing Shen Fei’s words, No. 0 smiled faintly. ”If anyone dares, we’ll expose all their secrets to the world. We’ll clean out their house.”

As long as they could defend against monsters, they really weren’t afraid of any humans coming to snatch their city.

”That’s true!” After a moment’s thought, Shen Fei nodded in agreement. ”Alright, I’m off then!”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shen Fei was about to nod and leave. The five young girls had accomplished so much with the help of three National Treasure Divine Artifacts. Considering what the Traveling Frog had detected, he was now incredibly eager to head to northern Hang City and capture the city with the Divine Artifact aura that it had pointed to.

”Wait!”

But just as he finished summoning his Golden Celestial Horse and was about to leave, No. 0 suddenly stepped forward and grabbed him.
