Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

From his inventory, Shen Fei took out a ready-to-use [Personal Panel Activation Scroll] and gave it to the little girl.

”Ah!”

The little girl involuntarily took the Scroll from the smiling Shen Fei. At his prompting, she tore it open, and her entire body was enveloped in a flash of light. Two seconds later, the light faded. The little girl stared, dumbfounded, at the ”panel” that had appeared before her.

Although she hadn’t inherited any game-like abilities, the little girl knew very well what this panel represented.

”AHHHHHH!”

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the little girl let out a deafening cry of joyous surprise.

WHOOSH!

Having given away one of his ninety-nine [Personal Panel Activation Scrolls], Shen Fei’s thoughts turned, and he flew directly toward the main force on the simple city wall ahead, which was fending off the monster tide.

I need more Personal Panel Activation Scrolls! I even want to trigger the early activation of Version 4.7!

As he flew, Shen Fei mused to himself. Just now, the Detection Tower’s scan had revealed that there were many people in this city in the same situation as that little girl. Her actions had stirred a memory from deep within him. In his previous life, in the Qing City settlement led by Zhang Qiqiang, ordinary people who hadn’t inherited game abilities were just like this. Seeing such a scene now made Shen Fei’s heart ache a little.

Moreover, he also knew that after the Version 4.7 update, everyone would have their personal panels activated. Those who were already players would unlock their Experience Bars and gain upgradeable abilities. Meanwhile, those who weren’t players would get their personal panels activated, giving them a chance to obtain game-like abilities.

Although Version 4.7 had only been live for two weeks in the third year of the apocalypse before he was killed and reborn, he knew for a fact that it would activate personal panels for the entire population. Now, Versions 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and even 4.5 had all been updated early because of his actions.

Shen Fei suddenly felt an impulse to proactively trigger an early update for Version 4.7 as well. His reason for doing so was to let people like the little girl from before gain abilities as quickly as possible, instead of having to struggle to defend their homes with digitized firearms that would quickly lose durability and become obsolete. Previously, Shen Fei had been very annoyed when Version 4.1 and the others were updated early. But now, he desperately hoped Version 4.7 would be updated ahead of schedule. He didn’t want his compatriots to suffer so much.

An out-of-version event, huh? Then I’ll orchestrate a proper one!

Landing on the simple city wall, Shen Fei had already figured out how to make Version 4.7 update as soon as possible. The previous updates from 4.1 to 4.5 were mostly caused by him using out-of-version items. To make Version 4.7 update now, the best way, of course, was to use something out-of-version. In that regard, Shen Fei had experience.

”Brother Chongtian!”

”Brother Chongtian!”

”Brother Chongtian!”

As he landed on the simple city wall, Shen Fei was instantly surrounded. Not long after they had called for help, he had appeared and annihilated a monster tide that was a full 30 kilometers long. The players guarding the simple wall were all ecstatic. As people who could access the Forum, they of course recognized the no-longer-low-key Shen Fei, whose avatar appeared in the live broadcast threads for Qing City, Songhai, and the Divine Capital.

What excited them was that Cyan God was just as absurdly strong as the Forum claimed. The moment he arrived, the monster tide that had been plaguing them vanished without a trace.

”Alright!” Shen Fei announced. ”I’ll leave a Defense Tower behind! If you still can’t hold back the monster tide, just shout out in that contact thread!”

Controlling the Detection Tower, he sensed a large number of monsters continuing to spawn from the Monster Nest 30 kilometers away. He directly placed an offensive Defense Tower on the simple city wall. Then, after seeing another settlement calling for help, he summoned a Teleportation Tower and quickly left the area.

While controlling the Detection Tower just now, he had seen that countless mountain ranges had risen up around this settlement, completely encircling its 30,000 people and trapping them as if in a basin. Moreover, the settlement had only a little over two thousand players compared to over twenty thousand ordinary people. This ratio of Ability Users to ordinary people, combined with the special terrain, made it impossible for them to follow the Forum’s suggestion to split their population into groups of less than 10,000. Because of this, all the settlement could do was defend against the monster tide. The good news was that they were not far from the Divine Capital and could receive Shen Fei’s support. They were within his range of protection.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

After Shen Fei left, the offensive Defense Tower he left behind immediately began to attack automatically. Originally, the people of this settlement could only start attacking after the monsters came within a 1-kilometer range. But with Shen Fei’s Defense Tower, the moment the monsters spawned 30 kilometers away, they had to face the powerful attacks of a Tenth-Tier Defense Tower. As a result, by the time the monster tide approached again, more than half of it had already been wiped out. The defensive pressure on the settlement’s players was instantly reduced by more than half. Shen Fei’s single visit had immediately and drastically lightened their burden.

”Cyan God came to Iron Forest City! He’s already cleared a wave of monsters for us! And he even left a powerful tower!”

With their defensive pressure instantly cut, the players from the settlement formed from the original Iron Forest City immediately went on the Forum to report their situation. By now, Cyan God had already visited Songhai, the Divine Capital, and Iron Forest. Following the news from Iron Forest, more reports of Cyan God appearing and annihilating monster tides were quickly being posted.

***

So his name is Cyan God! He’s from Qing City! That big brother is so amazing...

In the rear of the Iron Forest settlement, the little girl—who had activated her panel and could now log into the Forum thanks to Shen Fei’s Scroll—quickly figured out Shen Fei’s identity from the posts. A fast learner with an exceptionally high IQ, she even quickly compiled all the available information about him.

I will protect my city! Thank you, Brother Cyan God!

The young girl looked at the skill called [Ganshan] that had been randomly assigned to her after her personal panel was activated, and her heart filled with endless gratitude toward Shen Fei. To him, it might have been just something he gave away casually. But to her, it was a priceless treasure, an item that could save her life, her family, and her fellow townspeople.

Closing the Forum, she used her newly obtained [Ganshan] skill to sense a rhythm emerging from the special ring of mountains that had risen around her city. The little girl secretly decided that she would repay Shen Fei for helping her.

WHOOSH!

Meanwhile, after teleporting away from the settlement called Iron Forest, Shen Fei returned to the Divine Capital. Using it as a hub, he then teleported to another settlement 6,000 kilometers away that was also unable to split up its population. Then, amidst the cheers of the settlement’s players, he cleared out the monsters and placed a Defense Tower to attack automatically, before teleporting to the next settlement.

Just like that, Shen Fei was like a diligent bee flitting across the lands of his homeland. Using the five cities with Teleportation Arrays, he quickly ”sent out” 28 of his Defense Towers. In just over half an hour, he had already saved 28 settlements, not counting the five hub cities like Songhai and the Divine Capital. And he was still going; the number of settlements he had to save was still increasing.

”Hm?”

He quickly teleported to Yang City and used it as a node to reach another settlement called Cinnamon. After clearing its monster tide and, as usual, placing a Defense Tower to attack automatically, Shen Fei suddenly froze.

He saw that his personal panel had unexpectedly opened, and a line of surprising text scrolled across it.
