Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

He knew now. The person before him was indeed Fa Hai. The keywords in the Secret Realm’s prompt—Lin’an, bald head, snake—weren’t far from what he’d guessed.

It must have been heavily modified!

However, seeing the pure white Octagonal Tower within Jinshan Temple and thinking back on the peculiar situation he had just scouted, a new theory began to form in Shen Fei’s mind. He was now perfectly clear on how this particular Secret Realm had come to be. This Secret Realm, which belonged to him alone, wasn’t something inherited from the game. Instead, it had originally been a Neutral City that was overrun by countless monsters. Shen Fei had then used a special item to transform it into this Secret Realm. Therefore, he had no idea what kind of rules and situations the Secret Realm would ultimately evolve into. He could only slowly gather intelligence by observing the Tattooed Fa Hai and the unfolding scenes.

[DING!]

[Detection +5%!]

Just as Shen Fei was maneuvering his Vine Tower again to bind Fa Hai—who had flown into the air, radiating a golden, cylindrical light reminiscent of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms—he saw a line of text flash across his personal panel.

—By breaking the Shield on Jinshan Temple, his Detection had increased by 5%.

BOOM!

Just as Shen Fei was about to bind Fa Hai, another thunderous explosion echoed throughout the entire Secret Realm. Turning his head, he was stunned to see a burst of cyan light exploding over the Ancient City behind him. Then, countless motes of cyan light appeared, slowly converging to form an enormous Cyan Python.

To Shen Fei’s astonishment, this giant Cyan Python, which had suddenly appeared and coiled around the Ancient City of [Lin’an] in a serpentine formation, actually spoke.

”Bai Suzhen!!”

”Hand over Brother Xu Xian!!”

”Today you die!!!”

The giant Cyan Python had seen the Shield on Jinshan Temple disappear and seized the opportunity to appear. While roaring, it launched itself toward Jinshan Temple.

Down below, hearing the Cyan Python’s shouts, Shen Fei panicked.

Fuck! What the hell is it talking about? I know who Bai Suzhen is, of course. And I definitely know who Xu Xian is! Previously, when I turned this place into a Secret Realm, I even marveled that Xu Xian had the balls to actually fuck a snake... But hearing the words screamed by the Cyan Python, I feel like something is wrong. This... is a little different from the ”Lin’an love story” I’m familiar with.

BOOM!

Under Shen Fei’s astonished gaze, the pure white Octagonal Tower within Jinshan Temple trembled the exact moment the Cyan Python lunged toward it, transforming into a giant White Python.

BOOM!

The two pythons, one cyan and one white, viciously coiled and collided in midair.

Shen Fei saw that in the face of this bizarre development, everyone in the Secret Realm remained completely unfazed, showing no sign of panic. Even the ordinary people coming and going in the Ancient City of [Lin’an] seemed to find it unremarkable, as if this were the most normal thing in the world. Just a moment ago, when the Cyan Python had suddenly appeared and coiled around the entire Ancient City, these people hadn’t panicked in the slightest. Now, with an even larger White Python fighting the Cyan Python, everyone watched on, completely unperturbed.

Damn it! After this place was turned into a Secret Realm, what kind of memories were implanted into these ordinary people?

Watching the two giant pythons battling relentlessly in the sky, Shen Fei’s mind filled with questions.

RIIIP!

He was just wondering whether to continue trying to bind the Tattooed Fa Hai, or if he should also bind the two giant pythons overhead—who were possibly Lady Bai and Xiaoqing—when he saw a mound of earth on the green mountain behind the Ancient City suddenly explode. A giant Centipede, hundreds of meters long, burst from the ground and rammed viciously toward Fa Hai in the sky.

THUMP!

THUMP!

THUMP!

The instant the giant Centipede appeared, a massive frog leaped from the lake. At the same time, a giant Scorpion crawled out from a distant sandy beach.

As Shen Fei watched, dumbfounded, countless giant monsters all began to battle one another. Overhead, the cyan and white pythons twisted and fought. In the middle, the iron-headed Centipede battled Fa Hai. And below, the giant frog and giant Scorpion were entangled, one stinging with its tail, the other lashing with its tongue.

What the fuck! What is happening? Did I shatter the balance of Combat Power by breaking the ban on Jinshan Temple’s golden shield? Did that trigger the ultimate battle between the two sides in this Secret Realm?

Shen Fei had never expected the scene to change so drastically in an instant. What the hell was going on?

Vaguely, it seemed this might be a Secret Realm based on the story of the *New Legend of the White Snake*. But looking at the two opposing factions, Shen Fei was at a loss. Based on his initial assessment, the Great White Python, the Tattooed Fa Hai, and the giant frog up ahead that was taller than a building all seemed to be on one side. Meanwhile, the Great Cyan Python, the iron-headed Centipede, and the giant Scorpion seemed to be on the other. The two sides were locked in a vicious battle.

Shen Fei had no idea what the situation was between them. But he could hear the Great Cyan Python, even as it fought, shouting in a clear voice to ”hand over Brother Xu Xian.” Exasperated, Shen Fei could only guess that this being was attacking Jinshan Temple to find Xu Xian.

Don’t tell me this is...

Watching the melee, which caused the verdant mountains by the lake to crumble and endless waves to churn in the water, a terrible thought occurred to Shen Fei.
