A retired Animal Crossing: New Horizons player returned to the game after putting it on hold for a year and found a shocking but pleasant surprise. Stepping outside, a message pops up, informing Animal Crossing: New Horizons that a surprising number of bells have been credited to player accounts. Players can prepare enough Animal Crossing Bells in the game.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an impossible game to finish on a weekend. Fans of the series have devoted countless hours to the game since its release in March 2020. For some players, creating the perfect island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can take years. However, not every player has maintained their enthusiasm for the best-selling title. Some players get bored and quit the game for good, while others take a break for months or more. When a player returns to the game after a long time, they come home to a cockroach-infested home, some avatars have disheveled beards, and maybe a few thousand bells sent to their account after dropping some items on overnight chests .
For Reddit user Ughdaylight, something shocking happened. As soon as they left the house, Ughdaylight received a message from Tom Nook's son, Tommy, informing them that a payment of 20,889,600 was sent directly to their account. While there are many ways to craft bells in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, 20 million bells in a day seems out of the blue to most players. Ughdaylight posted a screenshot as proof, saying they couldn't remember what was sold the previous year. The humorous part of the message is the phrase "for what" at the end. The way it's worded seems to surprise even Tommy.
In the comments on the Reddit post, Ughdaylight mentioned that they probably sold a lot of crowns, gold armor, sharks, whales, blue rose wreaths, gold rose wreaths, and random items that needed cleaning out of pockets. The Reddit user also admitted to being a bit of a hoarder. Another explanation could be interest earned over a year, but that's unlikely due to Nintendo's weakening of the bell's interest system.
Of course, it's possible that a Reddit user stumbled upon a bug that inflated the number of ringtones they were supposed to receive that day. It's hard not to speculate about all the possibilities that could happen here, as many players expressed in the comments to this post. One last thing to consider is that players only receive 80% of what they put in the overnight box, which means Tom Nook took his 5 million bells. This proves that when it comes down to it, Tom Nook is still the king of Animal Crossing. For more game guides, please visit 777chips.com.
