Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

For the past ten days, none of them had been able to log into the *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* game.

Last time, Zero helped fix the server, and I was the only one who could log in?

Previously, Shen Fei had been able to log into *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* because Zero had done a quick fix on the server. He had originally thought that after the server was fixed, everyone would be able to log in. Now, after being suddenly disconnected from the game, he finally realized that he had been the only one logged in all along. Even though Zero had fixed the server, no one else had been able to log back in.

”Holy shit! Where the hell did you go?!”

After all his attempts failed, Shen Fei teleported back to his bedroom, leaving Sun Yu completely baffled. Then, he tried every method of contact he had to reach Zero. Unfortunately, he found that he was still blocked. Right now, the only way to get an emergency login for the game was to get help from Zero. But miraculously, Zero had been unreachable ever since leaving the Great Chaos Secret Realm.

This gave Shen Fei nothing but a headache.

After repeated, failed attempts to make contact, Shen Fei finally went straight to Huang Yi. He told Huang Yi to use the Tourism Management Office’s channels to find the director of the Hang City branch and have him go directly to Mist City to ask about Zero’s situation. His Divine Artifact, the Nine Phases Power, still had three Long-range Teleportation charges left, and it was Zero who had helped him recharge them. Shen Fei could have actually used a Long-range Teleportation to go to Mist City and check on the situation himself. However, a round trip would waste two Long-range Teleportation cooldowns. Feeling the situation hadn’t reached that critical point, he didn’t want to waste them so casually.

Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses! What the hell are they hiding?! And what’s this about Game Worlds invading each other?

After trying everything and confirming he couldn’t log back into the game anytime soon, Shen Fei returned to his bedroom and mulled over what he had just encountered.

Sky Control had a Floating City, hundreds of Tenth Tier Defense Towers, and the support of the incredibly powerful Black Tortoise, so Shen Fei wasn’t too worried about it being in danger.

However, he was deeply shocked by the news he had gotten from Sky Control. He didn’t know if this had happened in his past life, because back then, the game had become unplayable on the very first day abilities were inherited. Moreover, his status in his past life was too low for him to have any way of looking into such matters. Now, thanks to the information from Sky Control, he felt he had stumbled upon some kind of secret. But he could also sense that this secret was hidden behind a thin veil, one that couldn’t be so easily pierced.

I need to find time to investigate those special areas...

After thinking for a while, Shen Fei made a decision. Whether it was the NPCs and Super Bosses in the game going berserk and assaulting female Heroes, or the various Game Worlds actually invading and fighting each other, these things were all happening inside the game. Shen Fei couldn’t get involved at the moment, unless... he could somehow invade the Game World from his end. For now, all he could do was investigate the special areas—the same ones the intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses had fled to the moment they inherited their powers into reality.

Sleep!

After a great deal of thought, he concluded that the best course of action was to investigate as soon as possible. Soon, feeling drowsiness wash over him, Shen Fei collapsed onto his bed. He would get a full night’s sleep first and worry about everything else later.

WHOOSH~

Lying on the bed, Shen Fei quickly fell asleep.

***

YAWN~

The next day, after a sound sleep, Shen Fei got out of bed with a big stretch. After finishing the delicious breakfast his mother had made, he received Huang Yi’s reply.

The result was a real pain in the ass.

—Zero had gone missing.

Not only had Zero blocked all of his accounts, but more importantly, the message from Huang Yi stated that Ma Bangde, the director of the Hang City Tourism Management Office, had gone to [Mist City] in the West Suburb of Hang City overnight. There, he discovered that [Mist City] was completely deserted. There wasn’t a single person inside!

If Ma Bangde hadn’t gotten there when he did, the city might have reverted to an ownerless state due to the lack of human players and disappeared back into a special area. After hurriedly entering and taking control of [Mist City], Ma Bangde and his men conducted a thorough search.

Afterward, he told Huang Yi with great certainty that Zero was gone. And it wasn’t just Zero. V, VI, III, II, and I—there was no news from any of them. They had all vanished without a trace.

What is going on?

Shen Fei was speechless. He couldn’t understand Zero’s actions at all. After finishing breakfast, he tried logging into *Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms* again. When that failed as expected, Shen Fei could only get up with a sigh and head toward the very center of Qing City.

”Bro!”

Arriving at the center of Qing City, Shen Fei saw hundreds of Defense Towers arranged in a large circle. Inside this ring stood a huge, imposing, yet understated black tower. This was the special structure in the center of Qing City—the Heaven-Reaching Tower!

The Defense Towers surrounding the Heaven-Reaching Tower belonged to Sun Yu, who was standing beside them inspecting the condition of each one.

”Bro!” Sun Yu called out again, seeing his big brother Shen Fei give him a nod before his gaze settled on the Heaven-Reaching Tower. ”You said I’m inheriting my third project tonight. Which one should I choose to inherit?”

In a little over a dozen hours, at midnight, the time for the third game project inheritance would arrive. The third game project would be inherited all at once, unlike the first two projects, which had been inherited slowly.
