Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

condition,

law.

These two words quickly merged together in Cheng Shen's mind.

He had some understanding.

What if the female corpse at the bottom of the well had not been wandering around and randomly appeared in his territory.

It means,

In fact, he triggered a certain pattern that led to it...

Judging from the terror levels of the black shadow and the seven ghosts he faced later, the female corpse was obviously more terrifying than them both.

At least.

Facing the two of them, he dared to fight even with the Soul Exorcist Blade, and he had the ability to touch them.

But if it's a female corpse.

Not to mention anything else, the phenomenon of black water spreading along with it made it impossible for him to get close, let alone suppress it with cursed objects.

and.

He also learned from the experiences of other survivors.

The horror level of the female corpse is definitely far beyond the weird test arranged by the system.

So its appearance is probably just an "accident"!

An accident caused by him accidentally triggering its killing pattern!

Just like… a castle tenant!

Cheng Shen's heart moved, and the name of an address automatically appeared in his heart, and he had the urge to say it out at all costs.

He was so frightened that he quickly interrupted his thoughts.

That name was exactly the address he wanted to reveal when he was guided by its killing patterns when he faced the castle tenants.

Although he has withstood the curse.

But this address was deeply engraved in his memory.

It was also because of this that Cheng Shen was confident that he could directly lead the castle tenants into the battlefield if he faced an enemy he could not fight against.

This is one of his trump cards.

A trump card that leads to mutual destruction.

Because when he told the address, he himself had triggered the murderous pattern of the castle tenants...

Cheng Shen had a strange idea in his heart.

If the killing pattern of the castle tenant breaks out at the same time as another apple curse, what kind of reaction will happen...?

Then he quickly shook his head.

Cheng Shen obviously would not risk his own life to satisfy his curiosity.

However, this unreasonable association made him realize that the strange threat may not only come from the things visible in front of him!

a name.

An unspeakable condition.

They will all attract horrible existences like female corpses or castle tenants that ignore spatial distance!

This couldn't help but remind him of some famous horror movies on earth.

It's all like this.

Whether it was drinking Auntie Mei's bath water, watching Miss Sadako's short movie, or accidentally breaking into Kayako's domestic violence scene.

will trigger this mortal curse.

Ignore distance.

There is no way around it.

It's just that, relatively speaking, the ghosts in horror movies are a little gentler than weird...

"What we have seen so far is that all weird things that can appear regardless of distance will be accompanied by large-scale abnormal phenomena.

The dark tide of female corpses, the dense fog of castle tenants...

etc.

Perhaps we should also add the saint's radiant church and the barren mountain village reflected by the intervention of the coffin board old man...

Can this be understood to mean that when weird evolution reaches a certain stage, it will have methods similar to this... field?"

Cheng Shen fell into deep thought.

"Perhaps the influence relationship between the two should be reversed. It is not that they have a domain because they can cross space, but it is precisely because they have evolved a domain that they can move regardless of space."

"field……"

He murmured, and a flash of inspiration seemed to flash through his mind.

if.

Like these weird things, he can also cover the field with bright red blood and move with his body at all times.

With the effect of Blood Incarnation, he can also master this strange ability!

only……

Right now it's very difficult to do this.

Cheng Shen can allow blood to flow freely and cover a large area, but this process is determined by the flow speed of the liquid.

Very slowly.

Not to mention having to constantly change positions with his body.

Relatively speaking.

This is not as effective as long-range attacks combined with blood-coagulating arrows.

However, if you are familiar with your own fighting style, the effect of using Blood Incarnation together with Blood-coagulating Arrows will be quite limited.

Just like how we dealt with the ice dragon before.

It may even be deliberately designed as a trap by the other party to target you.

not to mention.

His blood is not as insoluble as the weird power. It can be evaporated by flames and offset by energy.

When the blood is attacked, it means that his health is damaged.

Once the health value drops below 60%, the Blood Incarnation will be unable to be used.

This is also a difficult problem that needs to be solved.

"In general, this is an idea. Perhaps the key to improving the realm of blood incarnation is hidden here..."

Cheng Shen thought to himself.

There are as many bright red skills as there are stars, but currently he has only mastered the enlightenment level skill of Blood Coagulation Arrow.

The advancement of other skills is still in the exploratory stage.

At least, the research on Blood Incarnation now has a relatively clear route.

…

As he glanced over, the last trace of strange power in the ruins had disappeared without a trace due to some unknown change.

Cheng Shen then felt relieved and asked Dameng to bring someone in to count the loot.

He continued to come to the magic circle and interpreted the runes in it.

He has already deciphered most of the outermost runes of the magic circle.

The profits are huge.

According to the runes he mastered.

Combined with magic materials.

Cheng Shen has been able to initially construct a simple magic circle.

Although it has not reached the point where it can last for hundreds or thousands of years, it can still be achieved for a few months or several years.

This will effectively improve the water supply problem in the territory.

The simple water-condensing array that Cheng Shen designed now basically needs to be maintained every twelve hours. When he is the only magician in the territory who is proficient in rune carving, this will waste a lot of his time.

soon.

Cheng Shen's interpretation of the magic circle hit a bottleneck.

After he analyzed all the peripheral runes, if he wanted to go further, he had to go deep into the magic circle and explore the main body of the magic circle obscured by the black mist.

But until the problem of dark energy erosion cannot be solved, Cheng Shen will definitely not dare to be rashly contaminated with dark energy again.

"Normal creatures cannot be touched. It is best to find an undead or demonic creature...

The effect of Demon Soul Thousand Body can be exerted exactly on this."

This difficulty did not faze Cheng Shen.

He immediately thought that he could use the secret technique he had just mastered to control a puppet and explore on his behalf.

However, once Demon Soul Thousand Body is used, the target's mind will be completely erased by him, and the effect is permanent.

otherwise.

It just so happens that I can borrow Yosegra's body.

Cheng Shen did not hesitate, and first returned to the territory to improve the water condensation array, spending hundreds of gold worth of materials to completely integrate the array.

The newly improved water condensing array includes the dual effects of water gathering and purification.

The previous magic circle needed constant maintenance because of Cheng Shen.

So I didn't consider the latter.

The improved water condensation array can maintain operation for up to three years.

During this period, it is likely that there will be no one taking care of it or other reasons, resulting in the water source being contaminated.

The purification runes engraved in it will take effect at this time.

certainly.

Cheng Shen was more likely to suffer from the sequelae caused by the curse of the deep sea.

Although the purification rune cannot purify the weirdness at all, it just gives him a little more comfort...

After solving this problem, he used his authority and called up materials to fill up Tiangongfang's construction priority.

upgrade!

The complete form is fully unlocked only after Tiangongfang reaches level three.

Before, firstly because there was no space in the territory, and secondly because there was no money, he had never considered upgrading Tiangongfang too quickly.

Because it is difficult for the Gunpowder Factory and Shenji Factory to be unlocked later to generate profits in the early stage.

Not only is it expensive to build.

The resources that need to be invested account for a large proportion.

But now, after carrying back the corpses of Shihu and the other guard golems, the research on mechanical technology must have a higher priority.

fine.

After the establishment of professional trade unions, there will be no shortage of talents in this field.

Whoosh!

Shrouded in a burst of light, Tiangongfang, which originally occupied a large area, began to expand outwards again.

The iron-gray forge is like a copper furnace, the fiery red gunpowder workshop is like a dynamite barrel, and the green-gold divine machine workshop is full of mystery.

The three buildings are now completely separated from Tiangongfang.

Become an independent courtyard.

The accommodation standard of each building directly reaches the maximum limit.

Fifteen people.

While efficiency has been greatly increased, more jobs have been created in the territory.

Although the salary Cheng Shen has to pay has also increased...

After he felt distressed, he selected a suitable unit from the professional union and arranged to work in three workshops.

With Lawrence managing the forge, Cheng Shen doesn't need to pay too much attention.

He only needs to point out the direction and make requests, and Lawrence will lead the other craftsmen to build corresponding equipment based on his own experience.

You don't even need to provide drawings.

It can be said to be quite worry-free.

For a long time, he didn't have to worry about the territory's equipment manufacturing level failing to keep up with the development of survivors.

The gunpowder mill's research has also begun to bear fruit.

First-level gunpowder has been researched, and basic versions of firecrackers and unstable throwing bombs have been developed based on this.

Cheng Shen took the samples separately.

【Goblin Fire Gun】

【ordinary】

[Damage: 36]

[Attack speed: 3]

[Range: 10]

【Magazine:1/1】

[Ammunition: metal projectiles (damage 30)]

[Characteristics: None]

[Durability: 120/120]

[Requirements: 1]

…

Although this goblin fire gun is only an ordinary-level firearm, its damage is already comparable to that of an ordinary sophisticated-level staff.

Moreover, it does not require any strength foundation to be used.

Even ordinary people can equip it.

Quite convenient.

The only shortcoming is that in terms of rate of fire and capacity, it is still at the initial stage of firearm development.

This can only be broken through after Shenjifang's research has achieved results.

However, this does not affect Cheng Shen's optimism about the development prospects of firearms. He is also thinking about whether magic can be integrated into them.

Strengthen the power.

for example.

Carve an elemental enchantment for this gun similar to that of a bow...

Buzz!

Cheng Shen thought about it and immediately started the experiment.

A touch of silver glow shot out from his hand. It was finely ground silver powder, a fine medium for engraving. Under his mental control, the silver powder quickly condensed into a rune model, which was slowly attached to the rough fire gun.

.

Without other magical materials as a source of energy, the runes engraved on this silver powder can only give the effect of a fire blunderbuss.

Cheng Shen inputs mana to trigger it.

Pull the trigger at the same time.

Bang!

A flash of cyan light flashed on the fire gun. In order to avoid conflict with the gunpowder, Cheng Shen carved the wind cone symbol of the wind attribute.

However.

Even so, the moment the rune is activated, the condensed elemental energy inevitably reacts violently with the burning gunpowder.

In a loud noise.

The firecracker exploded.

The dazzling phosphorescence emitted choking black smoke in Cheng Shen's hands, burning his palms with a silvery gray mark.

but.

With the power of his body's defensive attributes, it wouldn't be able to hurt him.

Cheng Shen calmly felt the elemental fluctuations in the air, and the scene just now kept replaying in his eyes.

"It's not because the two cannot be blended, but because the structure of the fire gun is not enough to support the power produced by the fusion of gunpowder and magic..."

Cheng Shen was thoughtful.

Although the firecracker exploded.

But the experiment was successful.

"Strange...what element is the energy produced when gunpowder is set off?"

Cheng Shen then fell into this problem.

He is familiar with the basic elements that exist in this world.

Whether it is earth, wind, water, or fire.

Or thunder and lightning, holy light, darkness, and life.

But the moment the gunpowder exploded, it produced an energy he had never encountered before.

That's not any of the natural elements.

Cheng Shen naturally understood that the light, heat and kinetic energy released by gunpowder when burning could be attributed to chemical and physical phenomena.

He was just troubled by the inability to combine this energy with the magical knowledge he had mastered.

Can't understand.

Of course, he cannot control the fusion process of gunpowder and magic.

"Do we still need to supplement scientific knowledge...?"

When Cheng Shen thought about the complicated physical and chemical knowledge, his head suddenly became dizzy.

He quickly gave up the idea, as it was not worth his investment just to research upgraded firearms.

His energy should be focused on the extraordinary areas in which he is better at.

What's more, this world is a multi-civilized realm that integrates mechanical technology and magic technology.

The technological development in these two aspects should be very complete.

Even in the field of fusion, many people must have tried it.

He just had a flash of inspiration, and it would be best if he could succeed, but if he can't achieve his goal easily, there is no need to pursue it deliberately.

after all.

This is not the only path he can take.

Later, Cheng Shen tested the unstable bomb throwing.

The power is okay.

It can cause a fixed 500 points of area damage and a short stun effect. It is already a very powerful one-time prop.

Just can't control the explosion time.

It's a bit dangerous to use this thing.

Whether it is firearms or unstable bombs, their power can be further improved as the gunpowder factory develops higher-level gunpowder.

The growth prospects are promising.

Cheng Shen is already preparing to release samples of these two weapons at tomorrow's trade fair.

If survivors can be attracted to trade, it will undoubtedly bring additional income to Gunpowder Factory in the early stages of research and development.

Finally, there is Shenjifang.

The primary technology of Shenjifang has not been unlocked yet.

After Cheng Shen arranged for workers to settle in, he added the three basic technologies to the research list.

They are:

Elementary Alchemy,

primary deconstruction,

Elementary machinery.

Among them, alchemy is the basis for the development of magic technology. It is a technology invented by ancient magicians that uses magic to change the structure of metals.

It is also the core method for conducting research on mechanical puppets.
