Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

when……

The melodious bells penetrated the black fog and echoed in the church, and the outline of a bloody rising sun was projected in the diamond-shaped flower window above the statue of the god.

It's dawn.

Cheng Shen's divergent perception keenly captured the dissipation of some mysterious substances in the air. He raised his head as if feeling something. The statue of the Invisible Lord had returned to the posture when they first met, with his hands clasped in front of his chest.

The hazy aura that enveloped the statue all subsided.

The bells woke up the people in the church. They followed Teresa's example and prayed to the statue to thank the gods for blessing them with a peaceful night.

Then, except for Wright, whose eyesight had not fully recovered and had no fixed residence, several others left in a hurry.

"Doctor, when are you free today? When I arrive..."

Saint Lianna said coquettishly to Cheng Shen.

"At noon."

Cheng Shen thought for a while and said.

"good……"

Saint Lianna let out a breath of relief and left.

Cheng Shen picked up the package. He was also going to take office, and he was looking for a team from the Healing Church to hand over these relics.

"Are you leaving?"

Teresa asked out of politeness.

"I will come back." Cheng Shen said smoothly. He had just arrived in Xiacheng District and had not yet found a place to live. Moreover, he had decided to work part-time as a hunter. Living in the invisible church could also cash in his hunting harvest in time.

When Teresa heard this, she misunderstood.

She looked embarrassed and said: "I will find a way to repay the favor I owe you, but there are very few people donating to the church now. If it is a financial need, it may be a little difficult..."

The hazy halo that shrouded her body faded with the night, and Teresa lost the mysterious blessing. She was wearing a clean and thin robe, and her face was pitiful against the thin and malnourished face.

Cheng Shen said directly: "In exchange for a favor, I will be sheltered in the church for one night. I will stay here for the next few days."

Teresa was puzzled, so she tactfully said: "You are already a believer recognized by our Lord, there is no need to calculate so clearly..."

"One code equals one code."

Cheng Shen said without refusal.

The exchange he made with the Invisible Lord via kill points was a fair deal, other than that.

He didn't want to owe anything to this unknown god.

Leave the church.

The system sound also sounded as promised.

[Mission completed—Disaster of the Old Days 2!]

[Get: Permission unlocked (1%)! 】

[The progress of the main line has been updated!]

…

Karl's identity also spent the night safely, and there was no incident of his sister's night attack...

The system permissions that were unlocked again allowed Cheng Shen to obtain the right to use the backpack three more times. Counting the one saved, he can now take out four items from the backpack.

The choice space suddenly became much more abundant.

Still keep it first.

Cheng Shen mentally deduced various situations that he might encounter next, made response choices, and listed several props that were in high demand.

Doing this can greatly avoid confusion when trouble comes.

Later.

He looked at the updated main quest.

"Get the protection level of any false god to level four? This time the time limit is three days..."

Cheng Shen looked at the information revealed in the mission with amusement.

"False God..."

A very strange title.

According to the system's determination, this invisible lord is not a real god, and judging from its meaning, there seem to be several or even more such false gods in the City of the Old...

"The Invisible Lord's Asylum that I have now has Level 2. If I want to complete the mission, it must be my first choice.

Three days should be enough time for me to raise my asylum level to level four."

Cheng Shen thought to himself.

The function of the asylum level that he currently knows is to increase the ratio of hunting value in exchange for rewards.

Look at it from this perspective.

Focusing on brushing the protection level of one god is also the most profitable option.

Compared with the previous two tasks, the information revealed in this main line task does not seem to be so urgent.

It's more like the system is giving him time to adapt to the environment here.

…

There are no traces of last night's battle on the streets illuminated by blood.

Cheng Shen looked back.

The church standing on the corner of the street is like a dilapidated ancestral hall, blending into the surrounding low buildings, making it inconspicuous. The dust raised on the street gradually obscures the view, giving the church a more dated feel.

"How can the Healing Church tolerate the existence of multiple faiths?" He thought of a question.

Moreover, the broken message he captured at dawn also gave him an inexplicable feeling. It seemed that the Invisible Lord only dared to bring its power to the church at night, and would automatically hide during the day.

Is it because...?

Cheng Shen raised his head and glanced at the turbid and blood-red sun.

Dang clang...

A gust of wind blew the armor plates, and the sound of collisions reached Cheng Shen's ears. On the street corner, a special team came walking. They were dressed in neat armor, and their helmets were like iron buckets, leaving an inverted triangle-shaped gap.

On the left side of their pure white breastplates, they wear a short cross badge surrounded by patterns, and on the right side there is a symbol of two crossed swords.

Silver Palace.

Another armed organization affiliated with the Healing Church.

Compared with the Redemption House, which specializes in dealing with strange events, the Silver Palace appears more often in the public eye. They are conventional armed forces used by the Healing Church to maintain their rule, and their methods are cruel and ruthless.

Their reputation also scares ordinary people even more.

Buzz…

The tall warrior at the head was holding a white jade container in his hand. It was vaguely visible that there was scarlet liquid flowing in the container. Cheng Shen approached them and at the same time watched the blood in the container thicken.

"stop!"

The soldier called Cheng Shen from a distance.

"I'm here to hand over the items."

Cheng Shen had already recognized them as the team that recovered the hunter's relics mentioned by Teresa. The items in the soldier's hands also had a faint scent of divine blood, and seemed to be sensitive to divine blood weapons.

Therefore, he took the initiative without waiting for the other party to ask.

"oh……"

After the soldier saw clearly the crow mask on Cheng Shen's face, the look in his mask showed some fear.

Then, he saw the bulging package in Cheng Shen's hand, and asked in surprise and vigilance: "You picked up so many relics by yourself!?"

Cheng Shen nodded and said solemnly: "I don't want to see those heroes who are fighting for our tomorrow not being able to find even the last relic to prove their identity. You don't have to thank me. This is what I should do!"

"……Thanks a lot!"

The soldier felt a little strange when he heard his words, but he had no doubt at all. Everyone who knew the truth would admire these tragic hunters who were willing to fall into the darkness and stop the spread of disaster.

It is their selfless dedication that makes this city rise in the night again and again.

Cheng Shen's words suddenly resonated with the team.

They put their hands on their chests and saluted devoutly:

"May your souls sleep peacefully in the endless night..."

"Thank you very much!"

Alfred took the heavy package with both hands. This scene actually made Cheng Shen a little embarrassed. If they knew, these weapons were all obtained by him watching the hunters die without saving them.

I was afraid that I would be torn alive on the spot...

"You're welcome."

Cheng Shen looked at Alfred longingly. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to ask for a reward directly in this situation...?

Fortunately, Alfred is sensible.

He checked it over and took out a money bag from his arms, "Every weapon turned in will be rewarded with one gold. This is a rule set by the church. You submitted fourteen items. This is what you deserve."

."

He poured out a handful of yellow gold coins, counted fourteen of them, and handed them over.

gold……

Cheng Shen glanced at it.

The currency system of the Old City is relatively simple. One gold is equal to ten silvers and one thousand coppers. These fourteen gold coins are equivalent to his salary for the past three years! Mag was so happy when he saw it.

?

Cheng Shen approached Alfred, took the gold coins, and forced one of the gold coins into his hand.

"It's also very hard for you to pursue the heroes' relics diligently. This little money is just like treating me to a breakfast for my brothers."

He said familiarly.

"This...is against canonical rules." Alfred refused bluntly.

"It's just my thoughts."

Cheng Shen smiled slightly.

The strength of this team of Silver Palace knights is not exaggerated. He can sense the emotional changes in everyone's heart. When Alfred said these words, he could clearly sense the resentment in the hearts of others.

It seems,

This knight captain is usually not very popular...

"Actually, I also have something to ask for." Cheng Shen said without waiting for him to refuse again.

His tone became heavier, "I accidentally wandered into the dark mist last night, and I witnessed the greatness of unknown heroes. I also want to do my part to purify the city, and join the hunter group as a member of the hunting team!"

"You want to become a hunter!?" Alfred was in awe, but he said seriously: "Hunter is not a glamorous job. If you want to be in the limelight, I advise you to give up!"

"I'm ready to die."

Cheng Shen said softly.

"You don't understand the suffering you have to endure to become a hunter..." Alfred persuaded. At this time, a soft place in his heart seemed to be suddenly touched, and he suddenly felt a sense of respect for Cheng Shen.

"But……"

He frowned and finally found the place where he always felt weird, "Aren't you a crow doctor?!"

Doctor Crow is known as a group of cold-hearted executioners who will do anything for money. They are also a group of extremely greedy devils!

When did Doctor Crow become so lofty in his beliefs?

Tsk…

Cheng Shen replied calmly: "I joined Dr. Crow just to save more people. I want to do more for this city within my ability."

For ordinary people, his words might only feel hypocritical.

But Cheng deeply sensed Alfred's heart. He was a man who insisted on fairness and justice to the point of being paranoid.

The talent of emotional perception not only allows Cheng Shen to know the inner thoughts of others.

He also developed the ability to talk to people and talk to ghosts...

"That's it." Alfred believed Cheng Shen's words and pushed back the gold coin in his hand: "You don't need to ask me about this. Recruitment for the hunter group will be carried out every month, as long as you can pass the test."

"But the next recruitment is at the end of the month."

Cheng Shen shook his head.

He had already made it clear to Theresa that the last hunter assessment had just ended and the next assessment would take twenty-seven days.

Too long.

"It would be better if you wait a little longer and think more about it!"

Alfred said.

"I...have experienced irreversible things, and I don't want to let waiting become a regret anymore."

Cheng took a deep breath and said in a sad tone.

To be fair, his acting skills are average, but with the help of emotional perception.

His words are simply more touching than his masterful acting skills.

The sadness in Alfred's heart was aroused, he remembered his past, and suddenly felt deep empathy with Cheng.

"This matter is not without exception... I can ask my teacher to help you!"

He said after thinking deeply.

"Thank you!"

Cheng Shen was so moved that he put half of the reward he had just received into his hand, "I can't owe you this favor in vain. Even if you don't want this money, you can share it with your brothers and buy a gift for your teacher!"

"I can't accept it, this is the rule."

Alfred said stubbornly.

"..."

Cheng Shen choked and was speechless for a while as the gold coin was forced back into his hand.

"Whether you can become a hunter or not, the most important thing is whether you can pass the test. If you don't have the strength, I will be harming you by helping you."

He said seriously.

"I understand." Cheng Shen nodded, "I'm ready for everything."

Alfred said: "When my patrol work is over in the morning, I can take you to see my teacher. Which street clinic do you work on? I will come to you then."

"Shengyin Street."

Cheng Shen said.

“Hopefully have a healthy day.”

Alfred said goodbye to him with the blessing of the healing church.

"Now we have a clue about how to become a hunter..." Cheng Shen thought that there would be some twists and turns in this matter.

As for,

test……

Cheng Shen believed that his strength was definitely not as good as other hunters.

But with the advantages of not being afraid of infection and being good at medical treatment, it shouldn’t be too difficult to get a franchise spot...

The Crow Clinic on Shengyin Street is not far from the Invisible Church, only separated by one street.

The "prosperity" of this neighborhood is basically concentrated around this street.

The gray-white two-story building is located at the corner of the street. Every window facing the street is covered with white cloth. As you approach, you can hear waves of frightening wails and screams coming from the clinic.

The smoky smell of some kind of burning herb enveloped the entire street.

The pungent smell makes the eyes of passers-by turn red.

At this time, not long after it got light, many people were already supporting the patients and gathered around the clinic. There was a simple prayer room not far from the clinic, and there was a long queue of people going in and out to pray.

"Pray to God? Why not beg me..."

Cheng Shen thought to himself.

As he approached, the door of the clinic opened with a clang, and a man wearing a white gauze came out, "Don't gather here! I told you not to gather here! If you don't have money, get out and don't waste time!"

"...?"

Cheng Shen was slightly stunned.

Even though the man in front of him had spoken so harshly, the patients around him still pressed forward like a dog-skin plaster the moment he appeared.

"Sir, please save me! Ahem...! I can't hold on anymore. I will make money and pay it back to you when I get better...!"

"I can't stand the pain anymore! Sir, please give me a few pills!"

"Please save my mom! Please!"

"We only scraped together a little money..."

"..."

What is hell on earth?

Cheng Shen looked at the patients and their family members who were in rags, with sallow complexion and thin skin in front of him.

They are living in hell right now.
