Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

The message sent by Zhang Yao also mentioned a lot, and the information about the two cursed objects, the wishing doll and the wishing paper crane, is worth noting.

Especially the latter.

Cheng Shen was very interested in making an exchange.

The cost of using the paper crane is to randomly devour an organ of the person making the wish. It may be the internal organs, brain, facial features and other important organs, directly causing death, but it may also be parts such as the appendix and tonsils.

There is no doubt about it.

The probability of the former is definitely higher.

After all, the effect of this cursed object is inherently malicious. Even if the scope of the wish is clear, it may cause all kinds of accidents.

The disaster is greater than the gain.

This is absolutely true.

However, for the vast majority of survivors, using this cursed object does not require them to personally take risks... Whether it is recruited or enslaved units, they can use this item on behalf of the survivors!

therefore.

No matter how effective it is.

This kind of cursed object can be expected to be widely sought after in the circle of survivors...

Zhang Yao is in a special situation. He cannot recruit any units until he unlocks control of the castle.

This is one of the reasons why Cheng Shenhui was born to exchange ideas.

He examined the three cursed objects he held and found that the parchment scrolls could be eliminated directly.

Cheng Shen deeply doubted that this cursed object could be used once at most.

Moreover, the next time it is used, it will definitely cause the two corpses that combine the three weird characteristics to lose control.

It made him feel terrified even if he could crack the sealing talisman.

The Exorcist Blade...

Cheng Shen was reluctant to give up.

He can directly ignore the negative effects of this cursed object. There is no cursed object more suitable for his use. Moreover, the Exorcist Blade is his only offensive cursed object, which is equivalent to one of his trump cards.

Think about it over and over again.

All he could exchange for was the Star Candle.

But before that, he had to deal with the three weirdos suppressed in the territory.

"After studying the magic circle in the gargoyle ruins, the knowledge of runes I have should be enough to make artificial curses... But how to resist the erosion of dark energy is still a problem."

Cheng Shen pondered in his mind.

He plans to look for opportunities at tomorrow's trade fair to see if anyone is selling such props or equipment.

certainly.

He wants to let the news out first tonight.

Zhang Yao's adventure continues. As long as he can still use the meat cleaver, I hope he can successfully explore a few more areas.

It would be better if you can find more diaries.

Cheng Shen mentioned to him the "door" that was suspected to be the source of the curse.

Very interested.

…

The deep night is like an oil painting rendered with monotonous black paint. The territory under the night gradually changes from busy and noisy to silent.

late at night.

Most of the hardworking farmers and workers who had completed their job changes have fallen asleep. Only two teams of guards who have just changed their posts are still patrolling the territory dutifully, making a dull and suppressed sound of armor clashing as they walk.

around the territory.

Eight guard towers have been built at the suggestion of Affairs Manager Amy.

These guard towers have no special attributes, they just provide guards with a wider field of vision.

Although, the range that can be seen in the dark night is extremely limited.

But in case of enemy attack, it can at least serve as a timely warning.

Unfortunately, the scout guard was still trapped in the magic circle and had not been recovered. Cheng Shen did not want to go out and take risks at night. Fortunately, the spiritual link with the scout guard was not broken, ensuring that it was in a safe position.

Not in a hurry.

Buzz!

A crimson vortex suddenly lit up in the territory, and Cheng Shen walked out of it with four iron-blooded soldiers.

He is preparing more goods for sale at tomorrow's trade fair.

at the same time.

You can also level up the newly recruited iron-blooded soldiers by one level.

One copy, three bosses, and nearly 80 mobs can earn about 80,000 to 90,000 experience points without counting the level difference.

The five units were divided equally.

A unit below level 10 can be upgraded to 2~3 levels at a time, and a unit above level 10 can also be guaranteed to move up to level one in one copy.

Extremely efficient.

The teams led by Cheng Shen or Aljieka respectively can basically keep the progress of a copy at about 7 minutes.

This is because the main time is spent traveling.

but.

This leveling method consumes too much energy for both of them.

Moreover, after level 20, the two of them can no longer gain experience from the dungeon, and the explosion rate will be reduced to a certain extent.

so.

After Cheng Shen led the team a few times, he formed a formation with three level 15 iron-blooded soldiers and two new recruits, and let them practice their levels on their own.

Such a configuration.

It probably takes about twenty minutes to clear a copy.

The Contaminated Library can open up to ten dungeon maps at the same time, and the upgrade efficiency is still very impressive.

One night.

Cheng Shen recruited a total of fifty iron-blooded soldiers, all of whom had reached level fifteen or above.

This is a pretty perverted number...

You know, even the third-ranked Black Bull who originally challenged him didn't have such a large number of sophisticated units!

Not an exaggeration.

Just relying on these fifty elite units, we can sweep away most of the survivors at this stage, and even the forces including the Chaos Lords!

At this point.

Cheng Shen's investment in training soldiers can be temporarily stopped.

It's not that he doesn't want to recruit more soldiers.

But after the professional union is established and the territorial order is improved, the guards also need to pay wages.

And their salary will increase with their grade.

For a level 15 iron-blooded soldier, not counting the investment in equipment, the salary paid to them alone reaches 3 gold per week!

Fifty soldiers.

Cheng Shen will pay 150 gold coins in military pay every week!

I really can’t afford to expand...

certainly.

If the equipment and materials produced by the dungeon can be successfully sold in the trade market, or if his progress in exploring the surrounding areas encounters obstacles.

This matter will naturally be discussed elsewhere.

…

Boom, boom, boom!

With the hard work of more than a dozen carpenters, wooden piles and planks were quickly built into a platform covering an area of ​​nearly 100 square meters.

There are many farmers who are also busy.

In the originally empty trade market, wooden and stone buildings, exchanges, arenas, taverns, and pre-built rental shops soon grew up, occupying most of the trade market area.

Cheng Shen changed his mind.

No more recreational facilities were built.

It was because the enthusiasm of other survivors in investing exceeded his expectations.

Originally, he expected that building twenty shops would be enough.

But before the opening, the club's management Huorong gave him a list.

All of them are investors who intend to rent his shops at high prices.

There were actually hundreds of people.

The business plans they submitted were even more diverse, which made Cheng Shen deeply feel that his previous thinking was not broad enough.

For example, one of the survivors submitted a plan to open a monster girl shop in his market...

By changing jobs, this survivor gained the ability to sign a servitude contract with monsters.

Moreover, he can also trade monsters with whom he has signed a contract to other people.

Coincidentally, after this survivor changed jobs, he encountered a wave of forest goblins attacking the city.

Um.

She's the kind of forest elf with a particularly good figure...

There are many similar plans. After experiencing countless tests, the survivors who have survived until now have clear enough ideas for survival.

Cheng Shen simply let go of his authority in this area.

Let them play freely.

He only needs to master the two main income industries of exchange and arena to make enough money.

And another business that needs to be in his hands is the tavern.

The tavern is a specific building, and it also involves the rarity of randomly recruited units, so it must be put into operation.

Talk about it.

I didn't recruit any special characters in the tavern these two days.

However, the grocery store, which is refreshed every day, gave Cheng Shen an unexpected surprise last night.

【pasture】

【First level】

[Level: Excellent]

【Level:1】

[Effect: Designate an area as a pasture, and wild beasts can be randomly refreshed in the pasture, including but not limited to (pig, cow, sheep, horse, hare...) The wild beast will change to a certain extent according to the environment]

[Feature: 15% chance of refreshing high-quality beasts]

…

Cheng Shen has never found any living creatures in the forest, and his source of meat comes from siege monsters, but the harvest is severely limited by the type of monsters, and the meat of many monsters is inedible.

Now, with this ranch drawing, Cheng Shen saw the hope of raising and breeding meat livestock on his own.

Guarantee this.

It can solve a major source of food problem in the territory.

With the grain and vegetables produced from hundreds of farmlands, Cheng Shen has become self-sufficient in food production.

Not only that.

There are also sheep in the pasture, which can produce wool and make warm clothing.

And horses!

Can cultivate war horses and train cavalry!

Although the forest environment where Cheng Shen is located is not suitable for him to train cavalry, it does not prevent him from selling it. If a ranch can be managed properly, the income it will bring to him will at least be no less than the income from the dungeon!

But the problem he has to face is,

There is no grassland.

The beasts refreshed in the pasture will change according to the surrounding environment.

Cheng Shen designated the pasture within the scope of the forest, which was destined to produce only beasts suitable for forest survival.

Can horses emerge from the forest?

A bit confusing...

Specifically, Cheng Shen can only verify it after the 24-hour refresh cycle.

He just hopes that nothing weird will be refreshed...

The time came to noon.

Everything is ready.

Except for the arena which cannot be officially put into operation today due to lack of gladiators, other facilities have been constructed.

Cheng Shen checked it carefully again.

Make sure the settings are correct.

Permissions are then opened.

The members of the society who had already been notified immediately descended into the trade market through the teleportation node he opened.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

White lights flashed one after another.

Figures dressed in different shapes appeared on the empty streets of the market. They were both men and women, standing close together. Their bodies were shrouded in a faint light, like virtual projections, many of them overlapping.

Countless faces meet.

Cheng Shen was suddenly in a trance, as if he had returned to a shopping mall in the real world or a tourist attraction on a holiday.

There are too many people.

There are thousands of club members in total, and at least more than half of them come to participate in the transaction!

Fortunately, the rules in the trade market are special, which is equivalent to countless spaces overlapping each other.

The number of people it can accommodate is theoretically close to unlimited.

Otherwise, a serious stampede accident will occur the moment it is turned on.

"Is this the boss's territory?"

"Damn it, Shengjing! I didn't expect to see so many living people! Why do I suddenly feel like I will die without regrets!"

"It feels like a lifetime ago..."

"Who am I? Where am I? I can't even see the road!"

"You can't see the road? I can't even see where I am!"

"Is there a possibility that you are too short?"

"Fart! I'm 192!"

"Hey, don't squeeze! My waist has been squeezed out! Pay for it!!"

"Whose butt is in my face... No, this is..."

"rogue!!!"

"..."

The noise and shouting came like a huge wave, and it was so chaotic that it was impossible to hear the exchanges between each other. After a brief moment of confusion, Cheng Shen immediately realized his lack of experience and hurriedly opened the permission management list.

"Set the maximum number of people that can be displayed on the same screen: 30!"

Whoosh!

The figures in front of me suddenly decreased rapidly, as if they were being erased one by one with an eraser.

In the blink of an eye, there were only dozens of figures left on the street.

It actually seemed a little deserted.

But these figures will change into different shapes every second. In fact, the number of people has not decreased, but under the influence of the system, only thirty people can be seen by each person at the same time, so there will no longer be crowding.

and.

Conversations that everyone can hear are only spread among the corresponding group of people.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Cheng Shen then spoke through system authority.

"If you want to communicate alone, you can enter the other person's name in the channel settings, apply for a team, and you can see the other person at any time!"

"If you want to apply for a store lease, come to my left to sign up!"

"If you want to apply for a stall transaction, you only need to select a location on an open space that does not hinder movement, pay the handling fee, and proceed with the transaction!"

"All transactions are guaranteed by the system and are absolutely safe and reliable!"

“Moreover, all items traded in this market can earn corresponding points, and the points can be exchanged for special prizes!

Attention! In order to ensure that all transactions are fair and effective, malicious points-swiping behavior is strictly prohibited in this market!

Once discovered, they will be kicked out of the market immediately! They will never be allowed to enter!"

"My trade will be officially held in half an hour!"

“Everyone is free to visit now!”

"..."

On Cheng Shen's left hand side, Eugene, who has a round body and always smiles, has set up a simple service counter.

certainly.

Signing a rental contract is much simpler here.

All terms are processed by the system, and a contract can be formed directly, even the signing step can be omitted.

In order to attract businessmen to settle here for a long time, Cheng Shen made obvious concessions in commercial taxes.

Including, it was one of the conditions of the contract that he opened the exchange half an hour late, which gave them enough time to run their own business.

Faced with such generous treatment, except for a few individuals, there are basically no additional conditions to negotiate.

Shops one after another were quickly leased.
