Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

"Lord, these are several improvement plans I have drawn up based on the current development of the territory. Please take a look."

Claudia, wearing a decent black and white housekeeper outfit, stood in front of Cheng Shen. Her meticulous attire highlighted her tall figure, and her plump breasts were outlined in a thrilling and perfect arc.

Her long black waterfall-like wavy hair is tied behind her head, and her delicate facial features are dotted with tear moles at the corners of her eyes, which further highlights her charm as a mature woman.

She had a straight face and dull makeup. She was a proud woman who could rely on her face to make a living, but she was trying very hard to show off her talents, trying to make Cheng Shen ignore her natural advantages and see her extraordinary abilities.

"Let me see."

Cheng Shen nodded and took the paper document in her hand.

Claudia did understand the basic situation of the territory in a short period of time. The three plans she proposed made up for many problems that had not been considered during the previous development, and the details of the plan were more complete.

The only difference between these three plans is the utilization of resources.

Claudia's conservative philosophy will prevent her from using more than 50% of the resource inventory when planning the development of her territory.

Before that, the utilization rate of resource reserves in his territory's development plan.

It always remains above 80%.

Just like the system evaluation, retaining more than half of the resource reserves allows the territory to make timely corrections when encountering sudden accidents or errors in development plans, and has higher fault tolerance.

But on the one hand.

It does indeed greatly limit the development speed of the territory.

"This plan is very good."

Cheng Shen selected one of the planning proposals with the highest resource utilization rate, reaching 46%.

The affirmation in his words made Claudia's serious eyes soften slightly.

[Tip: Claudia favorability 1!]

…

Cheng Shen did not pay attention to the system prompts and continued: "But in terms of upgrading basic industries, resource investment can be appropriately increased. In addition, the construction of moats and traffic roads cannot be left behind."

Claudia tilted her head to look at him expressionlessly, "But if this happens, the budget will be greatly exceeded."

"It doesn't matter."

Cheng Shen waved his hands.

[Hint: Claudia’s favorability -2!]

"Well... the construction of the moat can be postponed for the time being, but the traffic roads must be improved as soon as possible. Winter is coming soon, and if the ground is frozen, the entire cold winter season will be affected."

Cheng Shen took a step back and said.

The idea of ​​repairing the moat came to him when he was facing the pressure from Storm Castle, but now, the crisis on the frontal battlefield has been lifted, and he has also received a wave of powerful technological supplements.

Even if we go through another war, the territorial defense pressure will not be that great.

To build a moat in the forest, it is necessary to invest a huge amount of resources and manpower. If it is not used temporarily, the project can indeed be stalled to make way for other plans.

But road construction must be the key construction for current needs.

At present, the area of ​​​​his territory has included the surrounding area, reaching a diameter of nearly three thousand meters.

No longer a small household.

However, most of the expanded land still has many tree stumps that are difficult to clear. Even after clearing, the pitted dirt is still unsuitable for traffic. This has seriously slowed down the work efficiency of residents.

In addition, the number of vehicles produced by Shenji Factory increased significantly during this period.

Vehicles have higher demands on road conditions.

build roads,

It has become an urgent matter.

Perhaps because she quickly calculated in her mind the resources that would be saved by giving up repairing the moat, Claudia's expression softened a little.

Rice Ball Exploration

[Tip: Claudia favorability 1!]

…

She then took out another document and said proactively: "Lord, I propose to demarcate a wealthy neighborhood and use a better environment and strengthened public security management to attract residents with more wealth to move in."

"Rich Man Street..."

Cheng Shen took a look.

This is obviously the influence of Claudia's personality. She was born in a declining aristocratic family. Contrary to Ludweder's situation, Claudia's class philosophy is already deeply rooted.

This will make her make more decisions that favor the rich.

If this suggestion was digitized, Cheng Shen could already figure it out in his mind, and a message appeared in front of him:

[Following Claudia’s planning suggestions will increase the territory’s attractiveness to the bourgeoisie. Development 30, Prosperity 30, Class Conflict 3. A small protest march has appeared in your territory...]

Similar system prompts...

However, this is not a completely negative personality. At least the advantages of this advice outweigh the disadvantages.

"approve."

Cheng Shen agreed.

[Tip: Claudia favorability 1!]

…

After jumping repeatedly for a long time, her favorability score was finally increased symbolically. However, this attribute mainly affects personal emotions, and what Cheng Shen needs more is another attribute, loyalty, so it doesn't matter.

Then we finalized some planning details with Claudia.

Cheng Shen had very little experience in this area, so most of the time it was Claudia who proposed it, and he would make certain additions. In the end, a plan was formulated by combining Claudia's traditional ideas with his modern ideas.

In the end, the utilization rate of the territory's resource reserves under this plan was limited to about 65%.

But if executed properly.

This plan can completely increase the territory's original development efficiency to about 1.5 times.

This is the benefit of having a competent management unit.

"Dangdangdang..."

A brisk rhythm suddenly played in Cheng Shen's mind. He paused, then stood up and said to Claudia: "Get ready to welcome our new guests."

…

In the trading market shrouded in a halo of green light, the sound of horse hooves sounded out of thin air.

A passageway emitting soft white light slowly opens at the corner of the market's wide block.

A round figure first appeared inside. His figure was comparable to that of Eugene. He was dressed as a rather wealthy businessman, with a standard profiteer smile on his face, and a white orb in his hand was shining brightly.

"Hey, you, that's good. This time I seem to have finally found a force with a fairly decent level of development."

He rubbed his beard and said to himself with a smile.

Behind him, carriages carrying huge carriages drove out one after another under the escort of guards.

Although the guards with strong physiques only wore simple leather armor, the capable aura they revealed casually was comparable to that of iron-blooded soldiers who had experienced several wars.

"Welcome, guests from afar."

Cheng Shen stepped forward to greet him.

The fat businessman at the head put away the orb in his hand, and the transmission channel behind the convoy began to gradually dissipate.

He put one hand on his chest, bowed with great effort and made a not-so-standard knight's salute, and then breathed slightly and blessed: "May the glory of the Holy Spirit always shine on you... When I first come to your place, I want to ask you more."

take care of."

"You're welcome."

Cheng Shen said with a smile.

"My name is Lai Yin. As you can see, I am a traveling businessman from the city of Saint Laurent.

My goal in life is to find the treasure of the gods hidden in this lost land...

Of course, during this period, I will also do business to make some money."

Lai Yin introduced herself enthusiastically and humorously.

"..."

Cheng Shen was completely confused about the Saint Laurent City and the Treasure of the Gods he mentioned, having never heard of it.

But this did not delay his judgment.

The increase in reputation seems to have attracted a major customer this time!

He glanced at the corner of Lai Yin's clothes without trace. There was a special mark embroidered there, which was the same as the pattern imprinted on the carriage.

It is a flower surrounded by wings.

Violet?

Cheng Shen has never seen this kind of plant, or he may have seen it, but he has never paid attention to it. He made a guess based on the name of the force mentioned by Lai Yin.

"I'm looking forward to the goods you bring."

Cheng Shen said.

Lai Yin immediately smiled meaningfully when he heard this, "Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I have passed through many places on this trip, and most of the goods I brought out from Saint Laurent have been sold.

but……

You will definitely be interested in the specialties I exchanged from other places!”

Ding!

The motorcade behind him suddenly stopped. After getting Cheng Shen's permission, a team of servants who had been hiding in the carriage and had not made any noise before immediately unloaded the various goods in the carriage and displayed them.

Lai Yin led Cheng Shen to introduce them one by one.

"This is a treasure I traded with a primitive tribe. It is a special product of ancient worship. As long as you hold it and match it with the corresponding spell, you can gain power by paying a certain price!"

He picked up a palm-sized crude puppet made of wood and straw and introduced it.

Cheng Shen took a look.

I was suddenly shocked.

This prop is not as careless as he said, its quality alone has reached the level of perfection!

Its effect is that by sacrificing a part of your blood, you can gain a state of increased strength for half an hour.

Can increase one's own strength attribute up to three times!

Quite perverted!

What primitive tribe could produce such precious treasures?

Lai Yin seemed to deliberately want to shock Cheng Shen with a few final items and give him a showdown. Before he could think about it, he immediately introduced the second item to him.

He turned around and picked up a white jade crown, his smile became a little inexplicable, "The effect of this treasure is even more incredible.

After you wear it, you can directly control creatures whose mental strength is weaker than yours! Even animals that cannot understand the language! You can make the other party do anything! And the other party will not notice anything abnormal afterward!"

"..."

Cheng Shen understood the meaning behind his smile after hearing what he said.

That's obscene.

The fat man tried to use a man's method to help him quickly understand the magical functions of this treasure.

However.

Is Cheng Shen that kind of person!?

He immediately said, "...how much of this do you have?"

"Just one piece. Of course, don't say that I cheated you. To use this item requires extremely high mental strength. If you don't have enough strength, your spirit will be counterattacked by the demon spirit sealed in it and you will become an idiot.

This is an item from hell."

Lai Yin was quite honest.

Mental strength?

What a coincidence.

The best thing about Cheng Shen is the strength of the two basic energies of blood and spirit...

"I want it, what do you want to use in exchange for this item?"

He coughed lightly.

Cheng Shen was not curious about the functions mentioned by Lai Yin, mainly because this item suited him so well.

The Blue Whale Meditation method makes his mental intensity continue to increase every moment.

final.

It will be able to reach the limit of the current stage like blood energy.

And this limit is already the highest limit that a creature in the perfect realm can theoretically achieve at its current level.

Even Arjika would find it difficult to achieve.

After getting this treasure, it means that enemies of the same level as him will basically have no power to fight back in front of him.

Directly control it!

If he had this treasure before, the plan to invade the castle would be easier.

Even the previous manager of the castle, Silver Wing, was inferior to his own mental strength!

This thing is so useful.

In particular, Cheng Shen will face two huge threats from the deserted village and the city of the past. He can already imagine how many fatal crises he will be able to easily survive if he can make good use of this item!

"Well... don't worry, let's look at other things first. To be honest, even I want to keep this treasure..."

Lai Yin chuckled.

Cheng Shen secretly clicked his tongue, but did not continue to show his interest in this item.

To avoid being manipulated by the other party.

But I have to say that if you want to keep this thing for yourself when you come to Yin, it is not an unexpected choice.

As long as the conditions for use of this item can be met, there are so many things it can do...

In a society with strict systems and perfect management, many people in power may not be very powerful professionals. If someone can quietly control a person in power through this item...

In comparison, the evil thoughts Lai Yin mentioned that all men understand are not worth mentioning.

Of course, he may also be prescribing the right medicine, after all, Cheng Shen is already the lord here.

There is no need for power or wealth...

"And this one..."

Lai Yin will guide Cheng Shen to continue the introduction.

Cheng Shen interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "We can look at these precious treasures later, but let's talk about the large-scale resource transactions first. I happen to have a batch of special goods here that I want to sell."

"Is it a local specialty?"

The deeper meaning of Lai Yin's words should be to ask whether he is precious.

If it is not a precious treasure, considering the rare goods he has displayed so far, no matter how much he talks about it, it is just a waste of time.

"certainly."

Cheng Shen nodded.

He has carefully observed the members and composition of this caravan and determined that their technology tree development should be majoring in magic.

The level of research on machinery is not high.

Not to mention the alchemy puppet.

They will definitely be interested in the Thunder Beast, which is also a magical creature.

"Ouch...!"

Lightning, which had been following Cheng Shen's butt, was picked up by him. It immediately thought that Cheng Shen was going to force-feed him highly condensed thunder and lightning energy like he had done before, so it immediately started struggling and wailing with all its strength.

"It's a good magic pet." Lai Yin understood Cheng Shen's meaning, but there were some deviations. "Are you going to sell it?... Well, this little guy's appearance can indeed fetch a few dollars, but you want to exchange it for the head?

The crown is still far away.”

"That means it does have value."

Cheng Shen was thoughtful.
