Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 93 Militia Instructor, Where Are You Running To?

"Crafting equipment? This scroll seems like it'll be good to keep as a backup plan; it'll be useful as a late-game item..."

Lei Chi thought about it and realized that the [Random Equipment Crafting Scroll] was a pretty good item. He had just crafted four rare [Pig Teeth] items, and if he could gather five more materials, then he could make good use of this scroll.

Of course, you definitely need to collect all nine rare materials; missing even one would be a loss.

There is also a "Counterattack" mission in the War Hall. The mission requires you to go to the boar camp and hunt down 100 boars within one hour.

This task is actually very difficult. Lei Chi estimates that most level 20 players would not be able to complete it. Even with the skill [Beast Possession], he would not dare to accept it easily.

"Based on previous experience, the wild boar monsters to be killed in this counterattack mission are things like the Rock Boar, Flame Boar, and Iron-Headed Boar. Even the Rock Boar has 2880 health points, so 100 of them would be 288000 health points. Even if I launch an attack as soon as I enter the boar camp, to take down 100 Rock Boars within an hour, I would need an average DPS of 80, but my attack power is only 20..."

Lei Chi pondered silently.

Activating the [Beast Possession] skill allows the Beast Tower to possess you, granting you the Beast Tower's attack range, attack effects, etc. However, your own base attributes remain unchanged, and your Thunder Pool only has 20 attack power. Regardless of which Beast Tower you possess, your base attack power will always be 20.

In theory, if Lei Chi were to be possessed by a beast tower such as the Azure Dragon or the Water Cannon Turtle, his theoretical output could exceed 80 points. However, he might not be able to withstand the attacks of the wild boar monster, since he is quite fragile with only 2000 health points.

"This is too unstable. Oh well, let's put this mission on hold for a while..."

Lei Chi shook his head, then called on Lin Donglei and the others to tag Zhao Zilong in the public channel.

At this moment, Zhao Zilong was in his secret camp, angrily wiping away the graffiti on the gun emplacement.

"What a dangerous situation! He even left his name. He stayed online during system maintenance? And he can launch an invasion? Does he have special privileges...?"

Zhao Zilong frowned. During system maintenance, ordinary players would be forcibly logged off.

However, as a high-level player, Zhao Zilong knew that the Tata World was no ordinary game. The game's background setting was extremely vast and mysterious, and so far, no player had descended into the game's main world.

It's almost fair to say that current players haven't even left the beginner's area yet.

This vast game world is like a miracle, and the cutting-edge technology that supports it is unbelievable. If there are privileged players, Zhao Zilong believes it.

"Perhaps it's not a game privilege... but it's certain that he can stay online during system maintenance. It's just that his behavior... is too outrageous. What kind of skill is it to come over and scribble all over the place? So what if my defenses are asymmetrical?"

Zhao Zilong was feeling down when he suddenly received a call request from his friend Ma Chuanwu.

"That guy named Lei Chi is at it again, bringing his online trolls to provoke you by name!"

Zhao Zilong snorted and replied, "If someone in this world slanders me, deceives me, insults me, laughs at me, belittles me, despises me, hates me, or cheats me, how should I deal with it? Just endure it, let it be, let it go, avoid it, be patient with it, respect it, ignore it, and wait a few years, then you'll see..."

"Wait a few more years? Let's see what he can do then! You're the God of War, Zhao Zilong! What are you waiting for? Go and take him down!"

Zhao Zilong said, "That guy named Lei Chi is a bit strange. Haven't you figured it out yet? He's deliberately provoking me so that I'll invade his camp. His claim that Xiao Qinghe is his future girlfriend is just a smokescreen. If I'm not mistaken, he's not afraid of his camp being invaded at all, and he might even benefit from it. I can't let him have his way."

"The camp isn't afraid of being invaded, and can even benefit from it? Wouldn't that make it invincible?"

"Let's think long-term. Entering the main game world is just the beginning. When the secret camps become sacred territories and we players become tower defense lords, that's when we should truly showcase our skills. That minefield isn't even on the leaderboard yet; we shouldn't waste time on it now. Focus on developing our own camps. Becoming a tower defense lord quickly is more important than anything else!"

"You're right, but it's really unsettling... How about I go check out his camp and see why this piece of junk dares to be so presumptuous in front of a king? Hmm? Someone's launched an invasion of his secret camp..."

At that moment, Lei Chi received a system notification: "Ding, alert! Player Qixingge has launched an invasion of your secret camp!"

"Qisinger! Good, good, good. This brother is not bad, a skilled hacker. I wonder if he can steal my Motorstorm Carnival. If my carnival is stolen, how will the system compensate me?"

Lei Chi quickly led the Motorized Storm Carnival to the camp square entrance, then brought up the camp information panel and swiftly set the [Azure Dragon], two [Giant Yellow Ducks], two [Bloodthirsty Porcupines], and [Thunder Lizard] to stealth mode.

He thought for a moment, then went to the entrance of the militia training camp and shouted, "Invaders are coming! Come with me into the ancient sanctuary!"

Quickly, the orc militiaman Harley led 30 militiamen out aggressively.

He also shouted, "Sir, rest assured, with us here, the intruders will suffer a terrible death!"

Lei Chi said, "You are all my loyal subordinates. How can I bear to let you fight against the invaders? Wealth can be plundered, but you cannot be lost. Come with me to the Ancient Sanctuary."

These words moved Harley, a member of the orc militia, so much so that his loyalty increased by 10 points. He then called to the militia, "Follow me, sir, we're going to the Ancient Sanctuary."

As a result, 20 of the 30 militiamen went in, and when 10 were left to enter, Thunder Pool suddenly closed the Ancient Sanctuary, and a giant rock appeared out of nowhere, blocking the gate of the Ancient Sanctuary.

Harley, the orc militiaman, was stunned. He stood outside the shelter, scratching his head with his large hand.

"Master, master, open the door! I haven't gone in yet!"

He shouted loudly.

Lei Chi could hear his voice and said, "The shelter is full. Let's talk about it next time!"

"Master, master, the shelter can protect 100 units... Master, please open the door!"

Lei Chi, of course, would not open the door, nor would he respond to the shouts of the orc laborer Harley outside.

He let in 20 human militiamen, but he was worried that there were too many militiamen and that Zisinger wouldn't be able to defeat them.

"Master, master, you're so simple-minded, you can't count..."

Harley, the orc soldier, was showing increasing intelligence and vocabulary. He was not getting a response from Lei Chi, and the 10 points of loyalty he had just gained immediately disappeared, with a further deduction of 5 points.

At this moment, Zisinger had already entered the camp square, and he immediately spotted the Motorized Storm.

"What is this? A mobile storm? A mechanical mount! Holy crap, how can there be such a treasure?!"

Zisinger was excited and immediately rushed towards the Motor Storm.

However, it wasn't during system maintenance, and the Motor Storm was active. As an intelligent mechanical mount with basic intelligence, it didn't recognize Qixinge at all. It pawed the ground with its front hooves, turned around, and ran towards the slime camp. It could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2 seconds and quickly disappeared from sight.

Harley, the orc militiaman, stopped banging on the boulder blocking the entrance to the Ancient Sanctuary. He quickly shouted to the human militiamen around him, "Go! Cover me!"

After saying that, he quickly ran away.

But this guy was really unlucky. When Qisinger saw that the Motor Storm had escaped and he couldn't catch up, he yelled "Ah!" and sped up. He then delivered a flying knee strike, which hit the orc militiaman Harley and knocked him to the ground.

"Militia instructor? Where do you think you're going? Prepare to die!"
