Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

They appeared in the Secret Realm once again.

”Holy shit!”

”Fuck!”

”Damn it!”

Before the players who had died early could even rejoice in their ”revival,” they all cried out in shock. They had seen it—the grouping method for the second team competition. The teams weren’t being formed based on country, skin color, or existing organizations. Instead, they were being grouped based on the abilities they had inherited.

For example, if you inherited abilities from the game *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms*, then you would be grouped with all the other players who inherited the same abilities. If, for instance, you inherited abilities from a stalking game, then you’d find yourself surrounded by creepy guys... and girls.

WHOOSH.

Just as he finished reading the rules, Sun Yu’s vision blurred, and he found himself standing in the middle of a large crowd.

”Boss!” Spotting their leader, Shen Fei, Sun Yu quickly ran over.

As the team groupings began, countless people were teleported and shifted around, their positions changing rapidly. All the players who inherited abilities from *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* were gathered together. Among them were members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang, as well as those who were not.

”Boss!” Running up to Shen Fei, Sun Yu shouted excitedly. ”We won!”

He was telling his boss that the betting pool he ran had paid off big time.

”Brother Pan! Tell us!”

”Brother Pan! Let’s hear it!”

”Brother Yu, over here!”

Hearing Sun Yu’s cheers, some of the Heaven-Reaching Gang members who were close with him immediately started yelling. Because they knew how powerful Shen Fei was, had seen that Sun Yu was running the betting pool, and also noticed that the betting options didn’t include ”Skyrocketing,” the Heaven-Reaching Gang members who knew the situation hadn’t placed any bets. However, they were more than happy to find out just how much Sun Yu had won.

”Brother Yu!”

”Brother Pan!”

”Brother Pan, um... I want to move to Qing City...”

”Brother Gun, give me a chance...”

”Brother Yu, can you figure something out?”

As Sun Yu was pulled into the crowd by Heaven-Reaching Gang members, he was immediately met with the pleas of a group of non-members. These people had chosen not to move to Qing City back when they first inherited their game abilities, and as a result, they were outside the sphere of the Heaven-Reaching Gang. Some of them had joined the Tourism Management Office, while others had joined smaller organizations.

But just now, after witnessing Shen Fei’s invincible bearing, they were getting desperate. They were regretting it. All of them regretted not taking their families and just taking a vehicle to Qing City back then. This was especially true now, as they were brought together by the team competition’s rules. When some Heaven-Reaching Gang members proudly told them that Qing City had conquered nine Neutral Cities and a special large city, their guts twisted with regret.

”I can’t decide that! It’s up to Brother Fei!” Hearing his teammates beside him enthusiastically describing Qing City’s holdings, Sun Yu didn’t stop them, since the Secret Realm’s rules allowed for memory erasure. Moreover, he generously told everyone just how much he had ”earned” from this venture. According to his initial estimate, he stood to win at least three billion-plus Credit Points.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

While Sun Yu was chatting with the Heaven-Reaching Gang members, all sorts of large and small groups were forming across the field. Because tens of millions of people were gathered together, the small map was clearly using some kind of space-folding technology. Just like glitching through the map in an online game, a certain spot might look like it was occupied by only one person from one’s own perspective. But in reality, many people were stacked on top of each other in the same space.

The rules for the team competition are like this?

Watching the large and small groups of players who had inherited the same game being quickly teleported together, Shen Fei muttered to himself. Then, he turned his head and glanced at Huang Yi, who was now standing beside him. Huang Yi had also inherited the *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* game. At this moment, all the players who had inherited abilities from this game were standing with Shen Fei.

”I wonder when we’ll be able to upgrade our Defense Towers in the real world!”

”If only I could raise my Defense Tower to the Tenth Tier!”

”The Tenth Tier is too strong!”

”A Tenth Tier Defense Tower is a full five hundred times more powerful than an Eighth Tier one!”

The gathered *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* Game Ability Users, inspired by the power Shen Fei had displayed, were all fantasizing about what kind of changes would occur if their own Defense Towers could be upgraded.

WHOOSH.

Nodding at Huang Yi, Shen Fei’s gaze swept over the area. Soon, he spotted the ”team” his father was in. Most of the people in that group were middle-aged or elderly. Seeing his father being showered with compliments in the middle of the crowd, Shen Fei understood that his father’s Combat Power was likely the highest among that group. At the same time, just like him, his father was probably someone who would be ”banned.”

His gaze swept around quickly, and Shen Fei soon saw his mother, Shen Yue, Number 0, Xiaohong, and the others. What shocked him wasn’t that his mother, who had spent a million in her Farmville-like game, wasn’t even the strongest player in her group. Nor was it that his younger sister’s group was mostly composed of elementary and middle school students. What truly took him by surprise was Number 0 and Xiaohong.

He saw that there was no one at all around Number 0. Among the tens of millions of players, not a single person had inherited the same game as him. The game ability he had inherited was completely unique.

And on the other side, looking at where Xiaohong was standing, Shen Fei was even more astonished. He saw that Xiaohong, who was the model of a well-behaved girl, was like a sheep entering a wolf pack, surrounded by a group of flamboyantly dressed, scantily clad girls. Looking at how that group of girls was dressed, and then at Xiaohong surrounded in the middle, the scene was incredibly dissonant.

Just what kind of ability did Xiaohong inherit? Shen Fei was very curious.

CRUNCH!

CRUNCH!

CRUNCH!

While the players were being rapidly rearranged, the huge arena up ahead was still changing. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, all sorts of scenes appeared on the massive arena, like a miniature landscape in a bonsai pot. Snowfields, yellow sands, dense forests, swamps—all kinds of environments emerged on the giant stage like a sandbox.

WHOOSH.

As many people were quickly getting to know their teammates, everyone’s personal panels opened up again.

[Team Competition one-minute countdown initiated!]

[Each team may select a home field once and an away field once, rotating in turn...]

[Before competing, each team must select one temporary captain responsible for choosing the scene and player bans!]

The rules for the team competition continued to scroll out. Everyone now understood that the different scenes on the arena were for them to choose from. To unleash their maximum Combat Power, certain special scenes would provide a bonus for different games. Therefore, the match scenes were divided into home and away fields.

[Please note: Based on individual contribution within the team, the person with the highest contribution will automatically receive the team competition reward! (Team competition rewards will be distributed together with individual competition rewards after the event!)]

[Please note: Each time a player is banned, their personal contribution will increase by 5% of the team’s total share for that round.]

The text on the personal panels continued to explain the competition rules. When they saw the last rule, everyone was stunned. Originally, everyone had planned to ban the opponent’s strongest player every time. But looking at this last rule, it seemed banning someone wasn’t necessarily a good thing. If you banned them too many times, you might just be doing a favor for the person being banned.

Take someone like Shen Fei. It was fine for the players who had inherited the *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* game. Not only was he far ahead of everyone else, but he also had the support of the Heaven-Reaching Gang members within his team. Furthermore, the second-ranked Huang Yi had just expressed his intent to follow Shen Fei’s lead. But for some others—those who had never interacted before and were suddenly thrown into a team simply because they inherited the same game—things instantly descended into chaos.

The team competition rewards weren’t that plentiful. Some of the large teams had tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of members. In that case, whoever got banned would directly get 5% of the contribution. That was much better than fighting a difficult match only to have to split the remaining 95% among a hundred thousand people afterward. As soon as this rule appeared, many of the temporarily formed teams instantly fell into disarray. They couldn’t even choose a temporary captain. Selfish little ideas started brewing in everyone’s mind.

How is Number 0 supposed to play? He’s all alone. Is he just going to get banned every single round? If he’s banned, he can’t fight, which means he can’t win...

The larger groups were busy with infighting, but Number 0, with his group of one, also attracted everyone’s attention. Many people were pondering how this person was supposed to compete. Could he even compete at all?

[DING!]

[The first round of the team competition has begun!]

[Please select a captain. If no selection is made in ten seconds, one will be randomly appointed!]

Amid the chaos, the countdown reached zero, and the team competition officially began.
