Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

This ratio only grew as Credit Points became increasingly important. After winning a massive 7,000,000, Sun Yu opened the betting again within the hour before the grand finals.

He went all out, even privately contacting Huang Yi and Father Shen and having them coordinate with the Immortal Emperor to go along with his plan. Father Shen did it as a favor to Old Sun, Huang Yi did it out of respect for Shen Fei, and the Immortal Emperor agreed for the sake of his dealings with Brother Chongtian. They all agreed to Sun Yu’s proposal. As long as it didn’t affect the overall situation, they were willing to cooperate with him.

I was going to make a killing in the New Olympic Games finals.

But then, to Sun Yu’s surprise, Magnus showed up! Immediately after, Shen Fei descended like a Divine Soldier, directly annihilating the boss and ending the entire match.

Sun Yu had thought that with the match being cut short, his final round of bookmaking would be declared a wash. But to his utter shock, just moments ago, when he tried to cancel the automated settlement on the new Forum, he discovered that he had lost! The match hadn’t concluded properly; it never reached the predetermined score. On the new Forum, with its automated scoring, he—the bookie—had somehow been declared the loser.

In an instant, the 7,000,000 Credit Points in Yu’s account were completely wiped out. Then, his account was saddled with a massive debt of 30,000,000.

I’ve been a bookie so many times, but I never imagined the rules could be stacked against the house. In the past, the house always made the rules!

He had thought that even if the bet was a wash and he couldn’t win big on the finals, he still had the 7,000,000 he’d won earlier. Even if he had to split it with Father Shen, the Immortal Emperor, and Huang Yi, Sun Yu felt he would be invincible. But he never expected things to take such a drastic turn.

Staring at the massive debt that had to be repaid within the seven-day countdown, Sun Yu panicked. If he couldn’t repay the debt, his account on the new Forum would be banned. Since everyone was limited to a single, unique account on the new Forum, he would be locked out forever.

Panicked by the 30,000,000-credit debt, Sun Yu immediately turned to his big brother, Shen Fei. In his mind, his big brother was Invincible. Even a 30,000,000-credit debt is something Big Bro can definitely solve!

After all, the last time he’d run a betting pool on the *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* game Forum, his big brother had been the one to bail him out.

”Oh, for crying out loud...” Listening to Sun Yu’s explanation and seeing his pathetic expression, Shen Fei felt his head spin.

This kid is great in every way, except for this damn obsession with bookmaking... Whenever there was a match, Yu had to run a betting pool. Strangely enough, he never placed bets himself. He just loved being the bookie, the one running the house. If he won, he’d make a killing. If he lost, it would be just like now—he’d lose his shirt.

”I swear!” Shen Fei planted a hard kick on pitiful Yu’s backside. Speechless, he took out his Divine Artifact.

I still have to help Yu. No matter what, he’s my best little bro... It looks like this rotten habit of his is here to stay.

But this particular mess Yu was in... that was something he could actually fix. Because he really did know someone with admin privileges on the new Forum: Number 0.

He didn’t know if Number 0 could change a rule like this, but even if she couldn’t, Shen Fei figured he could at least get some advice from her.

WHOOSH.

Without a second thought, for the sake of his hopeless little brother, Shen Fei once again contacted Number 0, from whom he had just parted ways.

Why isn’t she picking up?!

To his frustration, Number 0 wasn’t responding to his Divine Artifact Link. Frustrated, Shen Fei also tried calling, texting, and even contacting her via private message on the Forum. But alas, he couldn’t get through at all!

After parting ways with Shen Fei in Country F, Number 0, feeling that she had been acting a bit strange and like a ”fucking idiot,” had decided not to contact Shen Fei for seven days. No matter how Shen Fei tried to reach her, she simply wouldn’t answer.

”Bro...” Seeing Shen Fei look up again, Sun Yu called out pitifully. Familiar with his big brother’s personality, he could tell at a glance that he hadn’t succeeded.

”You...!” Shen Fei gave Sun Yu another exasperated kick and, with a sigh, opened the Forum to see what exactly had happened with this so-called betting pool.

”What the hell!”

”These Bottle People are from Japan!?”

”What the fuck is this!!!”

”I don’t believe it!!!!”

”Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!”

”I don’t believe it!!!!”

”Go fuck yourself! I was just a fan of the Bottle People a minute ago!! And they’re fucking from Japan??”

When Shen Fei opened the Forum, the first thing he saw was a post that had gone completely viral. The title of the post was:

*”The Great Unmasking of the Bottle People’s Identity!”*

Reading the post claiming he was from Japan, Shen Fei understood. Some other country that knew the name of the Japanese Divine Artifact must have intentionally leaked this information. And in Great Xia, the uninformed netizens were actually buying it.

The Great Xia netizens who heard the news completely lost their minds! They couldn’t believe and couldn’t stand the thought that the person who had just saved the world could be from Japan!

Someone from Japan, saving the world? Impossible! Those sneaky bastards... we’d be lucky if they just stopped dumping wastewater into the ocean and causing global mutations. They have that kind of conscience?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!!

”I’d rather die than believe they’re from Japan!!”

”OP, you motherfucker, show us some proof!!”

”Yeah!! Fucking OP!! Show us some goddamn proof!!”

”I don’t believe it!!”

Countless people were raging in the thread. The triggered netizens of Great Xia were all in a frenzy.
