Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

”How many bosses will I have to kill for this 18th and final link?” Shen Fei wondered, standing on Piltover’s Golden Avenue as his mind raced. ”And based on this world’s lore and its Combat Power system, these bosses are absurdly powerful!”

Rune Land… the map was enormous! And the lore and super-powered characters were endless. Shen Fei was surprised that he had actually been teleported into this Game World. But what worried him even more was that he couldn’t quite determine who the strongest characters in this game were.

If there were only one supreme being, it would undoubtedly be the Star-Forger Dragon King, Sol. But this final, 18th link didn’t require him to kill just one supreme being. It might be three, five, ten, or even twenty powerful beings. In that case, Shen Fei was at a bit of a loss as to how he would kill them.

As he recalled, the *League of Legends* universe had other powerful figures besides the Star-Forger Dragon King, Sol. There was the Star Realm Wanderer God, various Star Spirits, and the different members of the Dark Race. There were mysterious Demigods like the Lamb, the Bear, and the Phoenix. Then there was Mordekaiser, the Dark Rose, the Soul of Ionia, the Ten Great Demons, and a whole slew of other powerful figures. According to the lore, these beings all possessed world-shattering strength. More importantly, they were scattered all across the planet.

If the 18th link required him to slay twenty powerful figures, then Shen Fei felt he might have to make an enemy of the entire world…

First, I need to determine if the Combat Power of the characters in this world matches the lore…

Quickly crossing the Golden Avenue, Shen Fei headed for the bridge connecting Zu’an and Piltover, formulating a plan. He recalled seeing a post on a Forum after the apocalypse, stating that the unhinged, blue-haired Hero from the *League of Legends* universe, Jinx, had manifested in the real world. Right now, what he needed to do was enter Zu’an and find this unhinged girl. He had to see if she was still in the game. If she was, it would confirm one of his theories. If she wasn’t… then he was in trouble!

He casually took a Silver Coin from his pack and handed it to the bridge guard. Leaving the guard to stare dumbfoundedly, Shen Fei left Piltover and headed down into the undercity of Zu’an. He knew that the single Silver Coin he had just given was far too much, but it couldn’t be helped. The smallest currency he had on him was Silver Coins, part of a handful he’d grabbed after clearing a previous Game World. Now, it was finally coming in handy. Of course, he couldn’t use Credit Points from Earth in a Game World. The currency of Rune Land was Gold Coins, Silver Coins, and Copper Coins. The people of Zu’an used Copper Coins for daily transactions, so Shen Fei’s single Silver Coin was a massive overpayment. But it was all he had.

After paying the toll, Shen Fei quickly descended. The further down he went, the darker it became, and his nostrils began to fill with a noxious chemical odor.

「Half an hour later.」

CLANG!

The automated lift ground to a halt. Shen Fei stepped out, wrinkling his nose. The surroundings were dark and gloomy, a messy sprawl of structures built from rusted bronze gratings and a labyrinth of tangled pipes. Wisps of green mist coiled through the air, and dark, watery grime flowed over the damp stone ground.

This place! This is so typically Zu’an!

Before Shen Fei could even acclimate to his surroundings, a man with a wicked smile suddenly appeared before him. Perched on the man’s shoulder was a brown, soccer-ball-sized Magic Swamp Frog. Behind him was a gang with brightly dyed hair, clutching copper pipes and carrying themselves with a swaggering air.

Here they come, just as I thought. This is also so typically Zu’an!

Finding himself quickly surrounded, Shen Fei sighed to himself. The moment he’d tossed a Silver Coin into the bridge’s toll box—a machine that, like a bus fare box, never gave change—he had suspected he might be targeted. Now, just as he’d stepped out of the foul-smelling elevator on the lowest level, he had been ambushed by a Zu’an Gang.

SWOOSH!

Looking at the tattooed thugs closing in, Shen Fei’s gaze sharpened, and he waved his hand. Then, just as he’d intended, the Vine Tower—shrunken to the pocket size of a pen—was summoned. He had been able to summon his Defense Tower even in the two-dimensional world of *Soul Fighter*. So now, having arrived in the Land of Fu Wen—a world with higher Combat Power and a higher world level—summoning the Defense Tower was effortless.

”AHH!”

”AHH!”

”AHH!”

Shen Fei, who had deliberately taken a side path to lure them in, instantly controlled the vines, hoisting the entire swaggering gang into the air.

”Talk!” he commanded, walking up to their leader as the tattooed thugs hung like a row of cured ducks. ”What’s your name? Where do you live? How old are you? Who’s your boss?!”

”I... I... Esteemed Lord Mage, just pretend we’re a bad fart and let us go!” the tattooed leader hanging before him pleaded, immediately putting on a fawning, cheeky grin. ”I was truly blind to not recognize a master!”

CRACK!

Unfortunately for him, Shen Fei wasn’t buying it. The fact that this tattooed leader, a mere grunt, could communicate with him so easily and intelligently, just like a real person, led Shen Fei to a single conclusion. The sapientization of this Game World was already complete.
