Chapter 056 City Defense Center
Chapter 056 City Defense Center
Even the young monk Huixin felt like he had misheard.
One hundred little demons!
So generous?
He couldn't help but think about it seriously.
This wise young monk was the governor created by the Endless Mastermind. In his mind, the players were just getting started, and the development of Chaos City should be in its early stages. Even if they recruited refugees, there shouldn't be many.
But what's with this "King" before us?
He directly invaded someone else's Chaos City, and he even has so many lesser demon subordinates.
"If only I could really have a hundred lesser demons..."
The young monk Huixin suddenly felt that things weren't so bad after all. The previous Chaos City had obviously developed very slowly, and the city lord was mean-spirited. Perhaps following the city lord in front of him would lead to a better future.
At least this city lord is very generous.
"A hundred lesser demons aren't enough?" Li Hanqiang had no idea what the governor was thinking. He was full of anticipation for the city defense center and said to the little monk Mang Huixin, "That's all we can spare for now. Little monk, Chaos City is in dire need of rebuilding. Development can't be delayed. Let's get moving."
Li Hanqiang then addressed the group of lesser demons around him: "Minions, lead the way!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A group of little demons immediately sprang into action, and Little Drill Wind also appeared, crowding around Li Hanqiang and the little monk Huixin as they descended the demon mountain.
Only then did the young monk Huixin have the leisure to examine his surroundings, and upon doing so, he exclaimed in surprise, "This is actually a blessed land!"
Upon hearing this, Li Hanqiang's heart stirred, and he quickly asked, "Little monk, how much do you know about blessed lands and grotto-heavens?"
The young monk Huixin quickly shook his head, saying, "This humble monk only knows that blessed lands are extremely rare. To obtain even one is an extraordinary stroke of luck. If managed properly, the future of Chaos City is limitless!"
His heart burned with excitement. His own Chaos City actually possessed a blessed land; it seemed his surrender had been a wise choice. He resolved that, as the governor, he would dedicate himself to developing this blessed land and making a name for himself.
Li Hanqiang was slightly disappointed, thinking to himself that even with a provincial governor, the places that needed to be explored on their own would still have to be explored independently.
Before long, Li Hanqiang and his group arrived at Chaos City Square.
The young monk Huixin then discovered that his own Chaos City actually had a Jade Pool, and exclaimed in surprise, "A scenic spot! There's actually a scenic spot!"
Li Hanqiang glanced at him and asked, "You know about scenic spots? Give me some useful information!"
Huixin said, "Although scenic spots and historical sites are not as rare and precious as grotto heavens and blessed lands, they are still treasures. If managed well, they will surely yield great rewards!"
"Anything else?" Li Hanqiang asked.
Huixin's eyes shone brightly as he said, "Everything needs to be explored on our own. As the governor, I will do my best to develop this Azure Wave Pool and the Demon Mountain Cave."
Li Hanqiang nodded, but then, glancing at the state of the little monk Huixin, he suddenly froze.
This wise little monk's loyalty level has actually reached 50!
I just walked from the demon mountain cave to here, and I didn't do anything, yet my loyalty has increased so much.
"Could it be because I'm too handsome!" Li Hanqiang basked in his own self-admiration. Of course, he knew it had nothing to do with his appearance; it was mostly because of the Demon Mountain Cave and the Azure Wave Pool that the little monk's loyalty had increased so rapidly.
The city defense center was to be built behind the Heart of Chaos and in front of the Tower of Endless Energy. The little monk Huixin began to inscribe the summoning array with great enthusiasm, and a group of little demons miraculously followed suit and inscribed the array as well.
Li Hanqiang received a system notification that the summoning array in the city defense center would take three hours to complete.
Taking advantage of the free time, Li Hanqiang leisurely logged off to replenish his energy, and then logged back in to start the gold coin challenge.
In this gold coin challenge, Li Hanqiang did not let the defensive towers attack on their own as he had done before. Instead, he tried to manually control the defensive towers in order to make more effective use of their firepower.
With a large number of defensive towers, controlling them is not easy. To improve the efficiency of killing enemies, one must not only accurately grasp the battlefield situation, but also be able to multitask and react quickly.
Be observant, multitask, and react quickly!
Controlling towers is by no means an easy task. If you don't control them well, it's better to let the towers attack on their own. Randomly controlling them will never improve your killing efficiency; on the contrary, it will greatly reduce it.
Li Hanqiang was merely practicing, focusing his attention on the five sword towers and controlling the sword energy to land on suitable targets in order to penetrate the sword energy and hit more targets.
After a tense series of actions, the challenge ended. Li Hanqiang was unsure whether his actions had improved the tower's kill efficiency. The final result was the killing of 1558 Golden Knights, earning 107 gold and 90 silver coins in a single run. Li Hanqiang's ranking on the gold coin challenge leaderboard improved, making him second place.
At this moment, a system notification suddenly appeared: "Ding, Your Excellency Chaos City Lord, you have acquired a Governor. The Governor has the function of exempting you from the daily gold coin challenge and allowing you to claim the highest historical gold coin reward. The gold coins claimed by the Governor will be stored in the Chaos Treasury. Please explore the details yourself."
"Huh? Judging from this system prompt, having a governor means I can skip the challenge and directly collect gold coins? That's much more convenient, but..."
Li Hanqiang wouldn't skip the challenge and directly claim the challenge coins, because starting the coin challenge could help the Beast Catcher gain experience.
The Beast Catcher has now reached LV8 with 215/800 experience points and a damage per second of 120. Based on its experience points, it only needs to kill 2485 more monsters to upgrade from a level 1 tower to a level 2 tower, which will greatly enhance its abilities.
The Golden Cavalry can provide experience to the Beast Catcher, and Li Hanqiang wouldn't waste this opportunity.
Li Hanqiang then recruited a few more demons and ordered them to repair the defensive towers, but unfortunately the demons didn't know how to repair them at all.
This led Li Hanqiang to conclude that repairing the defensive towers would inevitably require special repair tools, repair workers, or unlocking repair technology.
A short while later, the little monk Huixin had successfully completed his task. As a large white light emerged from the summoning array, a tall palace slowly came into view, which was the center of the city's defenses.
"Ding: Congratulations! You have acquired the Chaos City Defense Center, a functional building that unlocks the [Tower Demolition] and [Tower Repair] technologies..."
"Ding: Consuming gold coins, the Chaos City Lord and the Governor can order the citizens of Chaos City to dismantle or repair the defensive towers. The amount of gold coins required and the working time are related to the level of the defensive tower and the degree of damage."
"System notification: Activating the city defense technology quest chain..."
"System notification: The City Defense Center function is currently inactive, and the quest cannot be accepted. Please upgrade your Heart of Chaos to LV2 first..."
