Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

Cheng Shen quickly understood why Tuguan asked to bear all the expenses during these three days.

their appetite,

Too exaggerated.

Cheng Shen had prepared meals for each of them based on the standard for three people, but their stomachs were like bottomless pits.

The baskets of white bread and pots of stew, fish soup, and stews disappeared as quickly as if they had been swept away by a storm.

Even a few of the slender female tribesmen were not shy when it came to cooking. They grabbed a loaf of bread thicker than an adult's arm in one hand and ate half of it in a few mouthfuls. They looked like refugees fleeing from famine.

Cheng Shen felt that he was also good at eating.

Since the blood energy has experienced a huge increase, the consumption on his body has also become higher.

He now has to supplement his normal food intake for four or five people a day.

But it's far behind them.

this meal.

It lasted two hours.

Of course, according to the meaning of the earthen pot, Cheng Shen only needs enough for the main food tube, and there is no need to get anything else.

That way they can fill their bellies quickly.

Cheng Shenfei insisted on cooking meat, stewing fish soup, and bringing out freshly picked vegetables to entertain them.

Although the process of preparing dishes takes up most of the time.

But it's obvious.

All the Gray Earth people were quite satisfied with this meal.

Furthermore, the eyes he looked at Cheng Shen were much kinder, after all, he promised to provide full meals.

The simple people of the Gray Earth Tribe do not know what politeness means, and what it means to be conceited and conciliatory.

As long as you say it, it will be done.

Therefore, this greatly changed their attitude towards Cheng Shen.

Cheng Shen looked calm on the surface, but actually felt shocked and a little bit distressed in his heart...

A lunch.

These twenty-odd Gray Earth tribesmen killed 132 units of refined white bread, 50 units of fish and meat, and 35 units of various vegetables.

This is equivalent to one-third of the daily loss of his entire territory!

This is too exaggerated.

Fortunately, this kind of loss is still within his tolerance. Even if he supplies it for three days, it will not cause him too much pain...

"Is your tribe short of food now?"

Cheng Shen asked the earthen pot.

What he meant was that no matter how short of food they were, the soldiers who went out should not be starved of food. Judging from their appearance, they looked like they had been hungry for several days.

Tu Guan didn't understand his underlying meaning, but he couldn't help but blush, and was thankful that they managed to restrain it.

Um……

I was only six cents full from this meal, which is almost enough!

Tu Guan walked to the steps and sat down. His stocky back was like a hill. The green python with its rounded belly crawled lazily on his shoulders and refused to move. Only its slender snake tail twisted and jumped from time to time.

The two-meter-tall man was a little silent when he heard this, and said: "The drought is severe this year, and the grain production has been reduced to less than half of previous years.

A ferocious monster also came from the mountains. Our hunting team went out several times but found nothing, and several people died.

Winter is coming.

If we can't find enough food to go back, I'm afraid many people will not be able to survive this winter."

drought?

Big mountain?

Cold winter?

Cheng Shen subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the sky thoughtfully.

He heard from the earthen jar's words that the area where they were located did not seem to have suffered serious strange erosion.

At least you can still see the sun.

However, because of the characteristics of the trade market, there is a probability of attracting local residents from all over the world.

He didn't find it too strange either.

After all, there are always some areas in this world that are not contaminated by weirdness...

In other words, only in this environment can the native residents survive and reproduce smoothly.

Although Lawrence mentioned that since the old times, survivors have taken refuge in underground shelters.

But there will always be surviving humans living on the ground.

The technological backwardness of the Gray Earth Tribe further proves that their civilization has just emerged.

If they are the descendants of the residents of the shelter who have mastered a large amount of ancient technology, it is impossible that they cannot even develop iron smelting technology.

As for the cold winter...

Cheng Shen did feel that the weather was getting colder and colder recently.

"Don't worry, you can bring back a lot of food to the tribe when you go back this time."

he comforted.

Cheng Shen has already released food purchase information to other survivors through the market, and he happens to have a large amount of gold coins in his hand.

And for these more than 6,000 gold coins alone, if purchased at one to thirty of the current market price, 180,000 units of food can be collected.

and.

The price of food will continue to fall.

With systematic help, the most indispensable material in the survivor's territory is food.

One output every twenty-four hours.

If you can water, weed, fertilize in time, and train a few farmers or similar dryad units with skills to speed up crop growth.

The time can be shortened a lot.

That's exactly what it is.

After the territory construction was officially opened, many survivors chose to grow food to sell for money.

Enough supply is available.

This leads to a continuous decline in food prices in the entire market.

When Cheng Shen looked at it in the morning, it was still one to thirty. However, just after he finalized the deal with the Huitu Tribe, he took another look.

It has dropped to one to thirty-five.

He directly asked Eugene to purchase it at a price of 1:50 and made corresponding adjustments according to the market.

I believe the amount of food harvested in three days will be quite amazing!

After hearing Cheng Shen's words, Tu Guan's expression softened a little, and he turned around and said, "Thank you... Actually, we were prepared for a lot of price reduction this time, and the price you gave us exceeded our expectations."

"..."

Cheng Shen opened his mouth and wanted to say that the transaction has not been confirmed yet, so you will suffer a big loss if you give such an honest explanation, but he still did not say it.

I just patted him on the shoulder with a complicated mood.

But I accidentally photographed the fat snake, and got a fierce look from it.

"It's called Qinglin, which is the name given to it by that girl Tia. She is the smartest in the entire tribe."

Tu Guan smiled and comforted the green python.

"Is it your tamed pet?"

Cheng Shen asked.

"No, they are companions." Tuguan said, "People in our tribe have been trained to live with alien beasts since childhood. If we can get the approval of alien beasts in the process, a mysterious energy will be born in our bodies.

We call this energy ‘brute power’.

The raw power will develop our physical body and give us the power to break through the limits.

And this power will continue to become stronger as the alien beasts that are bound to us grow.

In turn, as we become stronger, we will also change the growth qualifications of the alien beasts.

Form a cycle.

Qinglin is the strange beast I grew up with."

"There is also this way to become stronger..."

Cheng Shen was greatly surprised.

In the old days, the only way for people to become stronger was to rely on the inheritance of faith from the gods. But since the gods were polluted, any power and items related to faith have become a medium for the spread of curses.

existing power system.

They are all passed down by kings born after the end of the world.

No one has counted it.

It is also impossible to count.

Each king's path to transcendence is different, and the power he leaves behind is also passed on in a different way.

and.

There are countless talented people whose achievements are no less than those of the "kings" of their time.

To tally up the power inheritance they left behind is a huge task.

There are too many weird ways to become stronger in this world.

Cheng Shen did not covet the Huitu tribe's barbaric power, and Tu Guan's unabashed confession directly exposed their weaknesses.

Their power comes from the alien beasts, but what happens once the alien beasts die?

The blow to them will probably be quite serious.

He didn't mention it.

Afterwards, Cheng Shen had a detailed exchange with Tu Can and found out the specific situation of their tribe and some information about the area.

He quickly learned.

The area where the Gray Earth Tribe is located is a place called Black Mountain.

They have been reproducing and living there since ancient times, and they have not even heard of anything strange.

Naturally, I have never seen anything weird.

Moreover, there are many powerful monsters living in the areas connected to Black Mountain, which restricts their outward development and makes it impossible to obtain any information and intelligence from the outside world.

Tu Guan has lived for more than thirty years and is the only outsider he has ever met.

He is Tia's father.

But after he came to the Gray Earth Tribe, he rarely mentioned the outside world to the people in the tribe until he married a woman in the tribe.

Give birth to Tia.

This man died because of a hidden injury.

However, the earthen jar mentioned a very strange thing. They have always advocated burial and returning to nature.

After the man died, the great elder unexpectedly proposed that he be cremated.

And buried everything he brought from the outside world.

Tu Guan didn't know what this meant.

But the listener has a heart.

Cheng Shen had already guessed some truth through his understanding of the weird.

"Sure enough, the essence of weirdness is that the more you know, the more dangerous it is. This is somewhat similar to some indescribable myths..."

Cheng Shen sighed deeply in his heart.

The spread of strange things is through various media that are difficult to guard against.

For example, the medium of Tenant No. 5 is to talk about the kingdom of God on earth built by the God of Hope.

And he still doesn’t know the medium of the deep sea curse.

It's probably the same thing.

The best defense against these two weirdos is not to understand them.

No discussion,

not recorded,

Don't understand.

As long as you are not unlucky enough to hit them head-on, the harm they cause is basically zero.

Cheng Shen guessed that the reason why the Huitu tribe has been able to develop stably for so many years is because of their "ignorance".

but.

Their great elder obviously knew some truth.

Regarding this.

Although Cheng Shen was envious.

But if he chooses to spend his life smoothly in this kind of ignorance, he is unwilling to do so.

Escape can only last for a while.

Once something strange happens, the ignorant will not even be able to find weapons to counter it.

He is willing to grow up in the face of strange threats.

Cheng Shen didn't say much. After learning about the survival mode of the Huitu tribe, he would not take the initiative to spread it to them.

Bring disaster to them.

at the same time.

This also made him realize something.

The trading of strange objects in the market must be limited to a specific area. Many of the local residents who come to his territory in the future are likely to be like the Gray Earth Tribe in order to survive in the apocalypse.

If you buy something from him and hear some incomprehensible remarks, you will be in misfortune.

His sin was huge.

Immediately.

Cheng Shen set speaking restrictions directly in the market management interface.

Any information related to strange organizations cannot be directly spoken or written, let alone communicated with territorial residents and local residents.

Anyway, the survivors here are all members of the society.

The market cannot communicate.

There are also community channels.

It won't affect too much.

Cheng Shen then opened a special street in the market for the trading of cursed objects.

He has set access permissions for this street so that people who don't understand weird knowledge cannot see the entrance.

A two-pronged approach.

This can greatly prevent the people of the Gray Earth Tribe from being exposed to strange things.

…

After preparing the meal.

Cheng Shen saw that they didn't feel tired yet. Instead, they all looked energetic because they had "fed and drank enough."

He offered to arrange for someone to take them to visit the trading market.

certainly.

This part of the consumption must be borne by themselves.

Because of this.

Many Gray Earth people are not very motivated.

They are well aware of the importance of food, and are afraid that they will not be able to control their desires and take some useless items.

In the end, Tugu didn't want to refuse Cheng Shen's kindness, so he called a few people in person, including the short-haired girl Dia.

Is she the descendant of the outsider who stayed in the Gray Earth Tribe?

Cheng Shen glanced at her curiously, and there was basically no difference between her appearance and that of other Gray Earth people.

This fully demonstrates the powerful genes of the Gray Earth people.

The girl looked back at him, her eyes no longer filled with the initial aggression. She stepped forward, put one hand behind her back, stretched out her right hand, and without Cheng Shen knowing why, she took his right hand and kissed the back of his hand.

"You are a good person, Tia apologizes for the offense just now."

She said with bright eyes.

"Well……"

Cheng Shen looked at her with a blank expression.

Wasn't what she just did a hand kiss popular among European aristocrats?

Although not very standard...

But shouldn’t this etiquette be initiated by men to women?

And it doesn’t apply to this situation!

Furthermore.

I bought you off with just one meal, you must be too easy to deceive...

Cheng Shen felt so many things in his heart that he didn't know where to start.

Tu Guan was also dumbfounded and explained for her: "Tia learned some strange things from her father... well, he said they were noble 'etiquette' things. Our tribe is all rough people. Don't be surprised if we don't understand these things.

"

"Etiquette is not a strange thing. The Great Elder often praises me for being more polite than you!"

Tia frowned and retorted with dissatisfaction.

Talking room.

A mink with pale purple hair showed half of its head from behind her. Its eyes seemed to be spiritual and shimmering. It quickly climbed to the top of Tia's head, holding a piece of fresh and crisp cucumber and started to eat it.

.

"This is my friend, Purple Silk! Look at its hair, how beautiful it is, just like satin!"

Dia happily introduced it to Cheng Shen.

Then, she seemed to remember something and asked in surprise: "There should be something called silk in your territory, right?"

"Yes there are some."

Cheng Shen smiled and nodded.

certainly.

They were not produced in his territory, but materials donated to the society by other survivors.

It wouldn't be useful if he didn't go through a deep process. He always wears equipment, and his underwear is an "artifact" given by the system that can be automatically repaired.

Talk about it.

The development of sewing technology in his territory is not bad.

Every time the defense of the city ends, the animal skins harvested can increase the tailors' proficiency.

It's just that Cheng Shen doesn't pay much attention to the research on clothing.

"……very nice."

Tia's eyes kept wandering, wanting to say something, but she finally held back.

In the face of novelty and enjoyment, survival is obviously higher.
