Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

"What level are you now?"

Cheng Shen asked.

"Level three!"

Zhang Yao paused for a moment, without hiding anything, and then said: "Actually, the biggest reward I got this time is probably a career transfer book."

"Have you used it? What's the difference?"

Cheng Shen asked curiously.

"Yes, Brother Leg, this profession is called Dark Knight. It comes with a skill tree, and its qualifications have been improved by five points! It also comes with a talent that converts blood volume into defense power. I feel like I can fight ten of them now!"

Zhang Yao showed off happily.

"Five qualifications?!"

Cheng Shen was shocked.

He only has two points of qualification growth every time he levels up, and he can already feel that the increase is quite obvious.

And he noticed that Zhang Yao's words were raised by five points, not raised to five points.

In other words, his current qualification growth is seven points!

Each level up increases your attributes by nine points!

Absolutely perverted!

After being shocked, Cheng Shen's mind raced rapidly.

"Yes, this further confirms my idea.

Your development route is completely different from ours. The system should have made some special arrangement for you or on you.

In other words, you are the protagonist of this game..."

"What, what, what?! Stop joking, Brother Leg... I would rather not be the protagonist! I bet you don't know how scary this castle is. When I returned to the room just now, I saw the monster on the first floor. You know it is...

…”

Zhang Yao suddenly stopped and asked mysteriously.

"Brother Leg, do you believe there are ghosts in this world? I mean something completely different from monsters..."

"believe!"

Cheng Shen said decisively.

His grandma's.

He was almost killed by that weird thing just now!

"I suspect that the monster on the first floor is a ghost!"

Zhang Yao said immediately.

"..."

Cheng Shen twitched the corner of his mouth, and his empathic experience immediately made him understand how Zhang Yao's words about not wanting to be the protagonist came from the bottom of his heart...

But then again.

Zhang Yao is still alive after encountering the ghost several times. On the one hand, I have to lament that he is blessed with good fortune and extraordinary luck.

on the other hand.

Perhaps it was also because there was some kind of protection mechanism in the castle that he was not aware of.

"Is there something burning and glowing in the castle?"

Cheng Shen suddenly asked.

"Yes, there are a lot of candles. What's wrong, Brother Leg?"

Zhang Yao recalled.

Cheng Shen confirmed: "If you think about it carefully, every time you encounter that ghost and successfully escape, are there such candles next to you?"

"It seems...that's it!"

"That's right."

Cheng Shen said to Zhang Yao: "I also encountered an unexplainable weirdness just now, but when I lit the bonfire, it quickly retreated like a nemesis. I think these things should be afraid of the light of the fire!"

"Or, you can also understand that the fire is a manifestation of systemic power."

Cheng Shen thought carefully.

"Whether it is a bonfire or a candle, its essence is the power of the system to protect our survival in this world."

"I have experienced some things and have roughly guessed the purpose of the system, but I am not sure yet."

"But I can't tell you."

"Because you are probably much closer to the truth than we are. If I guess wrong, it will only mislead you."

Cheng Shen paused slightly.

He continued: "At least one thing is certain. As long as you are within the scope of the fire, there is a high probability that the ghost will not hurt you."

"This should be one of the rules of survival in the castle."

He said firmly.

"Awesome! Leg brother!"

Zhang Yao actually didn't understand what Cheng Shen was talking about at all. If he separated his words word by word, he could understand every word, but why couldn't he understand the meaning of these words when they were put together?

The difference in IQ made him feel like Cheng Shen was like a dump truck weighing more than ten tons, crushing him back and forth wantonly.

Only the last sentence he understood.

Candles = safe!

This message is equivalent to giving him a life-saving charm!

Zhang Yao now unconditionally believes Cheng Shen's words.

"It's getting dark soon. You'd better collect as many candles as possible before it gets dark. This is the basis for your survival. I don't know if the firelight produced by other things can protect you. The rules may be different."

Cheng Shen analyzed.

For anything that will produce uncertain results, his philosophy is not to do it if it can be done.

Because in this world any small mistake can lead to death.

The price is too high.

He couldn't afford to try.

"In addition, even if you are sure that the fire can protect you, you still have to take necessary protective measures. The stability of candles is too poor. If possible, you'd better get a lampshade to prevent it from being knocked out accidentally."

"I know, Brother Leg!"

Zhang Yao took Cheng Shen's advice to heart.

"On top of this, you have to take the risk to explore the rooms in the castle. I suspect there are big secrets in that castle.

certainly.

The choice in this matter is yours.

I still say the same thing, all I can do is help you analyze and avoid risks as much as possible, but no matter what the specific situation is, you must learn to make your own judgments. I will also be wrong, and I cannot always help you."

Cheng Shen said seriously.

"I...I understand, Brother Leg, thank you!"

Zhang Yao replied solemnly.

What Cheng Shen wants is not a younger brother who can do whatever he wants.

In this world, recruiting subordinates has no meaning, and it is impossible for others to contribute life-saving resources to you.

so,

It is very important to cultivate Zhang Yao's independent judgment ability.

His career and experience all mean that he has great potential for growth.

And Cheng Shen also had a guess buried in his heart.

That is, since the system has chosen Zhang Yao as the "protagonist", it means that there must be something extraordinary about him that is beyond ordinary people.

That is his most precious thing.

But that kind of thing can only be discovered by himself. Cheng Shen is not even sure whether it is good or bad for him to help Zhang Yao.

Without the training between life and death, can he still grow?

Immediately, Cheng Shen shook his head.

Give up the idea.

In that terrifying castle, he would only have to experience more dangers than he imagined, and there would be no lack of training at all.

Besides, who can guarantee that

Isn't his existence one of the arrangements made by the system?

"It's not a good thing for chess pieces to know too much..."

Cheng Shen murmured in his heart.

He concluded: "If you decide to explore the castle, I can give you a suggestion.

Try to contact the dangerous being in the kitchen on the first floor.

If I guessed right at the beginning, that being is more powerful than the ghost wandering on the first floor.

Then you should have been dead the first time you broke into the kitchen.

If it doesn't kill you, it means it thinks there is still something in you that can be used.

There are two speculations I have made.

First, it plans to raise you as food. It’s not that it won’t kill you, but it just has enough food at the moment and won’t kill you yet.

Second, it may want you to do something for it."
