Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

Boom, boom, boom!

The loud sound of gongs and drums exploded.

In the center of the market, the three-story building that occupies nearly one-fifth of the entire area slowly opened amid the sounds of gongs and drums.

Above.

The originally misty sky suddenly transformed into a starry sky.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Accompanied by a piercing scream, colorful fireworks bloomed on the sky.

The survivors coming and going in the market, no matter what they were busy doing, couldn't help but stop at this moment, looking at this scene in a daze, witnessing the colorful streams of light outlining patterns in the mid-air.

Finally, it gathered into lines of flickering congratulations.

"Oh, there's also a fireworks show!"

“Has Big Brother’s technology developed to this point?!”

"One more!"

…

Come again?

Can't afford to get up.

Cheng Shen secretly cursed, of course the special effects of the fireworks were not real.

Although the gunpowder researched by the gunpowder workshop can already be used to make firecrackers, its development into fireworks has not been so rapid.

This scene before my eyes.

The evolution is completely achieved by relying on the canopy device of the trade market.

The trade market is an independent space, and there is no distinction between day and night. However, market managers can adjust the time difference of the sky according to their own needs to create special effects of day and night.

starry sky,

fireworks.

All are simulated through changes in the sky.

But controlling the sky curtain consumes energy. Just for this flashy fireworks display, he invested an additional fifty yuan of primary energy crystals.

Just three minutes.

However, the feedback received was quite good, and I believe that many survivors have already remembered this scene deeply in their minds.

This "ahead of the times" operation will surely enhance and consolidate his reputation and bring certain benefits.

In the spotlight of countless people.

The three-tier exchange has finally opened its doors.

Several female residents who were personally selected by Cheng Shen and were among the best-looking in the entire territory walked out of the door in uniform attire.

Their faces were full of anxiety, they made awkward postures, and their voices were even more uneven as they said: "Huan, welcome...!"

Snap!

Cheng Shen covered his face speechlessly.

For them who were merely implanted in the memories of civilians by the system, his request was still a bit ahead of schedule.

I should have known this was the case.

It's better to discuss with the chipmunk in advance and borrow some forest goblins to calm down the scene...

On the side, the survivors who had just been shocked by the fireworks show laughed out loud after being briefly stunned, "Where did these onions come from!"

“Welcome everyone to come and participate in this trade fair!”

Fortunately, Eugene appeared in time to bring the situation back on track.

Currently, the territory is short of manpower, so he is temporarily assuming the role of market manager and is hosting the trade fair on behalf of Cheng Shen.

As a mysterious boss.

Cheng Shen will definitely not show up personally to manage the market order.

After a few simple greetings, Eugene didn't waste any time.

Directly announce that the exchange is officially open for business.

For a moment, countless illusory lights and shadows filed out of the door, and Cheng Shen followed the crowd into the house.

The exchange is the central building of the market, and its level of luxury increases with the level of the market. However, the originally simple interior is now filled with corals and colorful shells, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

These were all moved back by Cheng Shen from the Kraken's territory.

At first he thought he could break down the material.

This is not the case...

However, these decorations are considered rare in the native world, and if they meet native residents, they should be able to sell them for a good price.

There are counters one after another in the house.

At this time, these counters are filled with various products.

equipment,

Material,

props,

At the end of the day, they are all of excellent quality.

A series of bright light effects illuminated the entire trading hall, making it dazzling.

"Damn, so much equipment!"

The crowd was blinded.

"It's so scary. I thought this trade fair was just a gimmick. It would be nice to have a few rare pieces of equipment as a finale! Where did all this equipment come from?! Did the boss rob an arsenal?!"

"I'm afraid I've dug up a ruins!"

"envious!"

"envy!"

"This is too outrageous. I am still fighting monsters for a piece of sophisticated equipment, and the boss can already arm an entire army!"

"Hurry up and find equipment that suits me!"

…

According to Cheng Shen, the exchange is divided into three tiers.

The quality of goods on each level is also different.

Most of the current products on the first floor are sophisticated weapons and equipment.

Some were built by himself and some were produced by Tiangongfang, but most of them were the additional benefits brought by completing hundreds of copies.

After Cheng Shen first opened up wasteland.

The explosion rate of the copy will drop a lot.

However, the leader unit can still drop one or two rare items, but the output of high-quality items has been increased.

The mobs also have a certain probability of dropping items.

Just relatively speaking.

These randomly dropped equipment are not as good as the equipment forged by Tiangongfang, let alone Cheng Shen's "master" level masterpieces.

after all.

Tiangongfang's technology has been improved by Lawrence.

Under his leadership, Tiangongfang is now able to steadily forge high-quality armor and weapons.

Occasionally, one's character can break out and create rare qualities.

And the quality is quite good.

but.

Cheng Shen basically keeps all the equipment produced by Tiangongfang for his own use.

Including after the trade market opens.

Cheng Shen also did not move Tiangongfang into the trading market to seize the forging business share of the market.

Instead, he developed Tiangongfang into a military factory that belonged exclusively to his territory.

Exclusive technology is one of them.

Furthermore.

It's also because it's not necessary.

At this stage, most players' demand for the blacksmith shop is more for farm tools and long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.

The former is required for production.

The latter can help defend the city.

Although the sophisticated weapons forged by Cheng Shen are powerful, the price of four or five gold weapons is still beyond the reach of many people. If they use ordinary-level crossbows, they can arm every unit in the territory.

Let farmers also play a certain role in defending the city.

And these two.

For a forging workshop that has developed its forging technology to the eighth level, it can no longer increase its proficiency much.

Basically a waste of time.

therefore.

Cheng Shen simply gave up the forging, sewing and other industries to the merchants who settled there.

He is only responsible for taking a commission from it.

And this is also what the businessmen who settle in this part want to see.

Because production buildings such as blacksmith shops and tailor shops require a large amount of resources to be invested in improving proficiency in the early stage.

Not everyone is as wealthy as Cheng Shen and can provide a production chain by himself.

They need to take more orders from other people to make up for the consumption of improving their proficiency.

In this process, even if you lose part of it, you are actually making money.

…

Except for equipment.

The first floor also sells inlaid gems, one-time props, such as stand-in puppets, magic scrolls, potions that temporarily increase attributes...

etc.

These items, which are no longer of much help to Cheng Shen, are still treasures to others.

Moreover, the prices for these items are extremely favorable.

Cheaper than the market price.

A piece of fine equipment only costs three or four gold, and the price of props ranges from one to three gold.

Everyone can afford it.

Many people have already started spending money on the first floor.

and.

They were soon surprised to find out.

Every time they buy an item, another item will appear on the counter, as if connected to an inexhaustible treasure trove!

This kind of background.

Everyone immediately had a clear understanding of Cheng Shen's strength.

"Everyone, please pay attention!

In the room on the left side of the first floor, we have professional appraisers who are responsible for purchasing goods.

If you have unused items and are in urgent need of capital turnover, you can conduct value appraisals in the house. You can choose to resell them to others, or you can choose to sell them directly to this exchange!

I am guaranteed by my personality.

We will definitely give you a reasonable price for your items!”

Eugene shouted from the stairs leading to the second floor.

With the help of the system.

His voice clearly reached the ears of every survivor.

Those survivors who were interested in the product but were short of money were immediately moved and praised the ingenuity of this arrangement.

Cheng Shen's face twitched slightly.

He is sure.

This was not something he arranged.

And he can guarantee that there are no so-called professional appraisers in his territory.

Without looking, he could already imagine that most of the people sitting in the appraisal room on the left were just a few illiterate farmers.

And what they call a reasonable price.

It is only a fixed price for recycling based on the quality of the items.

It doesn't look at the actual properties and the effect at all.

As for the purchase price.

I also want to know.

How much profit can sellers make by putting Eugene in charge of the business?

He thought about it and decided not to take care of it, even though it might bring some bad reputation to the exchange.

But this is not the main business project of the exchange.

For now, the items purchased from other survivors can only be considered better than nothing to replenish the commodities on the exchange.

Because they are all poor.

Even a piece of rare equipment is treated as a treasure at the bottom of the box. It can be imagined that the quality of the items they sell is also very limited.

However, Cheng Shen still gave him a warning.

Don't accept strange items.

Strange here.

It refers to the cursed object that someone might take action against.

Just identification.

Not a big problem.

In the trade market, as long as items are not traded, they belong to the original owner.

Cursed objects will only affect the world where the other person is.

Once the acquisition is completed.

The curse will spread to the market where Cheng Shen is located.

Therefore, what Eugene accomplished seems to have provided a stable and sustainable source of commodities for the exchange's subsequent development.

But in fact the hidden dangers are huge.

Of course, Cheng Shen did not cancel it directly, but was considering hiring several survivors to serve as appraisers in the future...

"Eh?"

Cheng Shen's heart suddenly jumped.

After the trade market opens.

Survivors can now move between territories without any obstacles.

As long as you get the other party's permission, you can enter the other party's territory with your own body.

You can even stay in the opponent's territory permanently!

This also means that failure to defend the city will not be a dead end for the survivors.

Weaker survivors can completely rely on others to survive!

Although this will cause you to lose your status as a lord, it is not completely impossible to recover.

As long as you can get a Nexus of Order, you can make a comeback!

Theoretically speaking, as long as someone can upgrade the territory center to level three and open the trade market, no one else will die!

That being the case.

How could the survival challenges of the past be so cruel?

The survival rate is less than one in a thousand?!

Think about it.

Cheng Shen felt that it was still a matter of development speed.

To upgrade to the third level territory center, the basic wood and stone alone will cost close to 2,000 units.

And fine materials such as gold ingots, silver ingots, and ceramics.

Each also requires 200 units.

Gains from defending the city alone.

Normally, it would be difficult for the survivors to accumulate so many resources until the first-order barrier disappears.

After all, we still have to consider the construction of defensive towers.

Moreover, this is without losing in four camp battles!

If there is no advance information.

Who would have thought.

Will such wonderful changes occur after the third level of the territory?

And even if there are those who have developed relatively quickly in the past, how many survivors like him are able to help others regardless of losses? How many are capable of helping the vast majority of survivors overcome the difficulties of life and death?

By the time they build the trade market, I'm afraid there won't be many survivors left at the same time...

How could we create such a grand occasion like today with thousands of people present on the same screen!

I believe that even missionaries with advanced information in hand would have to lament that this is simply a miracle!

Under the interference of many factors, he abruptly changed this cruel survival game into an unprecedented scene!

Cheng Shen felt a little excited and emotional in his heart.

Maybe.

He can really create a miraculous scene where thousands of people break through the first level at the same time.

Break the missionary’s so-called one-thousandth survival rate!

Thinking.

Cheng Shen climbed to the second floor.

There is no rule in the exchange that only people who spend a certain amount of money can go up to the building. Maybe there will be in the future.

But it's not necessary.

There is almost no upper limit on the number of people an exchange can accommodate without causing crowds.

Even if thousands of people climb to the top at the same time, there will be no impact.

The products on the second floor are still mainly high-quality products.

But the equipment here is basically the best of the Thunder and Fire Bow level, with prices ranging from the lowest five gold to ten gold.

There are also skill books.

When the gold coin challenge first started, a skill book was sold at a sky-high price by survivors.

Until now, the price is still high.

People are aware of the importance of their own strength and are very enthusiastic about their pursuit of equipment and skills.

Cheng Shen threw out dozens of skill books at once this time.

The quantity is still very limited.

The explosion rate of skill books in dungeons is not high, and correspondingly, the price is not low either, with a minimum of about ten gold.

But even this can't stop buyers' enthusiasm.

After all, if you can rely on skill books to improve your gold coin challenge results, the benefits will be more than ten and twenty gold.

The survivor who was the first to reach the second floor snapped up all the skill books in a blink of an eye.

Those who are slower can only continue to the third floor.

here.

There are more surprises waiting for them.

Job change props!

Rare set!

And, on a noble display cabinet in the center of the third floor, a piece of sacred armor made of gold glowed with brilliant purple brilliance.

The dazzling light directly shocked everyone!

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

Thank you for the 30,000-coin reward that the boss gave me! Thank you to the boss for your support!!... Oh, I was embarrassed to ask for a reward even if I didn't have the strength to do more, but I didn't expect that the boss would still be so supportive...I burst into tears.
