Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

Curious about what Shen Fei planned to do next, Sun Yu couldn’t help but ask. In Sun Yu’s mind, his big brother Shen Fei was invincible. Still, the fact that he had established over a hundred Neutral Cities in less than five days left Sun Yu, like everyone else, completely astonished. After all, just a few weeks ago, when version 4.3 was fully updated, the entire strength of Great Xia had only managed to occupy fewer than twenty Neutral Cities. No one had expected that Shen Fei could build over a hundred of them all by himself in just five days.

Right now, the entire Forum was buzzing with discussions about the legendary ”Skyrocketing.” Moreover, the new Neutral Cities Shen Fei built were mostly inhabited by new players who had just received their panels and hadn’t inherited game abilities before. As a result, these new players, who had previously been at odds or hostile toward the old players, had all become fans of Shen Fei over the course of five days. The originally divided new and old players were now brought together, thanks to him. Furthermore, regardless of whether they were new or old, all players now believed in and worshiped Shen Fei.

”Keep an eye out for players who inherited National Treasure Divine Artifacts from the game,” Shen Fei replied to Sun Yu, pulling himself from his thoughts. ”I’ll deal with them when I have a spare moment. Next, I want to check out the Pacific Ocean. Make sure to contact me through the Ninth World at any time.”

There were still over twenty hours until the fifth inheritance of game abilities. For safety, he would of course have to return to Qing City for that event. However, there was still some time left—enough for him to explore the Pacific Ocean a bit more. He had already eliminated all the discovered special regions throughout Great Xia. Currently, the closest and most suitable one remaining was the Pacific Ocean special region. It occupied a third of Blue Star’s surface, bordered countless nations, and its length and width were now an unknown number of millions or tens of millions of kilometers. For the sake of the ultimate information he was seeking, Shen Fei had to go.

”Okay! I’ll keep tracking them, then!” Sun Yu immediately nodded in response. He was already having a hard time keeping up with his big brother’s pace, but when it came to guarding their home base and handling miscellaneous tasks, he had no problem at all.

WHOOSH.

Closing the chat with Sun Yu, Shen Fei’s gaze grew sharp. He looked toward the sea thousands of kilometers away from Songhai, at the thickest and most powerful special region Shield.

After composing himself, he gave a nod to Zhao Li, who was accompanying him. Shen Fei immediately stepped into the Teleportation Gate that had opened before him. With a flash, he was standing beside the Shield rooted in the seawater, the entrance to the Pacific Ocean special region.

Next, I’ll have to use Long-range Teleportation, Shen Fei mused to himself, standing by the new Shield. Although I didn’t hear anything about the NPCs’ ultimate goal from the special regions I destroyed, I did get quite a bit of intel about this one.

Over the past five days, as the number of Teleportation Arrays in Neutral Cities increased, he no longer needed to use the Teleportation Gate Tower for frequent travel. He only needed to use the cities with Teleportation Arrays as waypoints for long-distance repositioning. Because of this, Shen Fei hadn’t experienced the physical discomfort that came from using the Teleportation Gate Tower multiple times. This was also why he had been able to steamroll so many special regions within Great Xia in just five short days.

Now, to enter the Pacific Ocean—the largest special region, one dozens of times the size of Great Xia—he definitely wasn’t going to use a Teleportation Gate Tower. If he suffered physical discomfort from multiple teleports and messed up because of a rookie mistake, that would be terrible. The tens of thousands of Energy Crystals and the [Long-range Teleportation] skill he had prepared long ago were his primary means of travel here.

BOOM!

Even as his thoughts raced, Shen Fei’s hands didn’t stop. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and unleashed a Cluster Attack from his Defense Towers. It easily blasted open the powerful special region Shield, and he quickly slipped into the Pacific Ocean region.

. . .

After Shen Fei left, one of Zhao Li’s girlfriends, who had inherited the same game ability as the Immortal Emperor, approached him on the walls of Songhai with a look of utter astonishment.

”Li! Level 193!” she exclaimed. Just now, having inherited the Immortal Technique [Detection], she had detected Shen Fei’s level.

The power of the man known as Skyrocketing was universally acknowledged. However, his girlfriend had never imagined this. When version 4.7 launched, everyone gained the ability to level up at the same time. Yet somehow, Skyrocketing had managed to pull this far ahead of everyone!

She had thought that no matter how high his level was, it would be 150 or 160 at most. According to the calculations of some experts, the experience required to reach level 160 was over 70,000 times that needed for level 110. Zhao Li’s girlfriend, currently level 110, had felt that Skyrocketing’s level would be at most fifty levels ahead of hers, given that massive difference. She never expected that the experience represented by his level was seven million, seventy million, or even seven hundred million times greater than her own.

The higher the level, the more experience required to advance. She couldn’t even begin to imagine just how much experience Skyrocketing needed to reach level 193.

”Mm,” Zhao Li nodded without another word. ”Don’t even think about comparing yourself to him. Just focus on leveling up. Also, recruit more people for Songhai. With so many new Neutral Cities appearing, the appeal of the original ones will drop significantly. Population is very important.”

He was already fully aware of Shen Fei’s power and had come to see his strength as a given. Although Great Xia publicly considered him, Zhao Li, to be the second strongest, he knew that compared to the number one, Skyrocketing, he was just a scrub. Even if he, the second-ranked in Great Xia’s Combat Power, combined his strength with the next one hundred players, they wouldn’t be able to touch Skyrocketing’s shadow. Even if his Combat Power were to increase a thousand or ten thousand times, he would absolutely never catch up.

There was already a huge gap between them, and with each inheritance of game abilities, that gap would only grow wider. Zhao Li had made his decision long ago: he wouldn’t compare himself to Skyrocketing. Doing so was just asking for misery.

”Okay, Li!” his girlfriend replied, nodding in shock at his calm reply.

. . .

Meanwhile, Shen Fei quickly entered the largest special region and immediately released his Detection Tower, preparing to find his bearings and a target.

Holy crap! It really is huge! The Detection Tower can only scan this small of an area! And my detection perspective can actually be sensed by someone! I was almost counter-tracked...

He hadn’t expected this. Even after stacking all the range-boosting skills and effects on his previously infallible Detection Tower, it still couldn’t detect the region’s borders. Moreover, as his gaze followed the Detection Tower’s view, he saw that a powerful NPC had actually sensed his prying gaze. This was a situation he had never encountered in any of the previous special regions.

A little interesting. You’ll be the one!

The strongest special region was different from the very start. Instantly retracting the Detection Tower, Shen Fei smiled faintly. He directly used [Long-range Teleportation] and, in a flash, appeared on a massive island.

Since you discovered my prying eyes, then the two of us should have a nice little chat...
