Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Because there are no loopholes to exploit here, the exchange price is calculated very clearly.

However, among these redeemable building drawings, Zong Shen would only consider exchanging them for active defense buildings such as defense towers, and would not exchange them for things like city walls and roadblocks.

Because all defense towers are one-time drawings, a defense tower drawing can only build one building in daily life, which has many restrictions. Basic drawings such as city walls and roadblocks can be repeated after mastering the drawings and spending some resources and time. construction.

Another point is the cost issue. It takes 22 points to redeem the blueprint of a level 1 city wall. The material cost is 20 points, and the premium is 2 points. Because the complete blueprint can be placed directly, no labor is required and the construction time is very short, so the premium of 2 points is not bad. normal.

However, the cost of the city wall is too great. Each section of the city wall is 10 meters. Taking Zong Shen's current inner wall as an example, 20 meters are left in the middle of each of the four walls, and there are 180 meters on each side. The total length of the four walls is 720 meters. This part alone requires 1582 points. This is only the first-level city wall, and only the inner wall.

Not to mention level 2, 3, and 4, they are simply unaffordable. However, Zong Shen can exchange some high-level city walls for the frontline positions, which can extend the existence time of the positions and resist more attacks.

The redemption points for the level 3 city wall are 80 points per section, with a solid value of 4000 points, an armor value of 60 points, and a magic resistance of 30 points. Zong Shen spent 800 points to exchange for 10 levels of level 3 spares.

Next, he began to purchase defensive arrow towers. He spent 6,000 points arrogantly and exchanged 6 level 1 arrow towers, 3 level 2 arrow towers, and 1 level 3 arrow tower. As for the level 4 arrow tower, Zong Shen directly I didn't consider it because it was too expensive.

Exchanging some level 2 and 3 arrow towers can improve the territory's damage capability against high-armor captain-level and even commander-level enemies.

Although level 1 arrow towers are cheap, their damage is very limited when encountering enemies with high armor.

The configuration of arrow tower power still needs to be balanced to form a pyramid-shaped gradient combination, so that enemies at all stages can be dealt with calmly.

The equipment and architectural drawings cost Zong Shen a total of 10,472 points. Due to the time-stop state, Zong Shen's points no longer increased, and now there are only 2,997 points left.

The most important defensive buildings have been arranged, so Zong Shen has nothing to worry about.

He opened the fourth category selection [Auxiliary Props] in sequence. There are some simple auxiliary items here.

Including healing items such as [Elementary Recovery Potion], [Ordinary Hemostatic Bandage], and [Witch Doctor Apprentice's Medicinal Soup], as well as some food, drinking water, things to keep warm, keep out the cold, and cool down to relieve the heat.

The entire Endless Continent is very vast, with lords scattered all over the place. There are also various landforms and climate disasters, so it is not surprising at all that these things appear in [auxiliary items].

One portion of food and drinking water can be exchanged for only 2 points each, which is equivalent to 10 portions of basic resources, and the price is quite affordable.

Medical items are relatively expensive. Basic potions cost 30 points, bandages cost 15 points, and medicinal soups that can cure colds and other diseases also cost 15 points each.

Zong Shen thought for a while and did not buy the primary potion. There was a Lunar Spring in the territory, and the primary potion meant that once the pharmacy was built, the materials could be purchased for making medicines. The required raw materials were also easy to obtain.

He finally purchased 20 copies of [Ordinary Hemostatic Bandage] and 10 copies of [Witch Doctor Apprentice's Medicinal Soup], consuming 450 points.

Other supplies are not needed for the time being. The climate in this pasture is quite pleasant, neither cold nor hot.

After purchasing the auxiliary props, Zong Shen still had 2547 points left.

With these points, Zong Shen is going to check out the [Points Lottery] and try his luck.

If he is unlucky, or if the lottery requires too many points, Zong Shen will use the remaining points to purchase equipment or blueprints for defensive buildings.

Open [Points Lottery], the options are simple and crude within ten minutes.

Only one roulette wheel is shown in it.

There are about hundreds of small intervals on it, all of which have no labeled information, and there is a fixed pointer in the middle.

【Exciting roulette draw】

[Consume 500 points to rotate the pointer and draw a random item]

[The roulette lottery does not limit the upper and lower limits of rewards, nor does it limit the types of rewards]

[The higher the quality and the rarer the items, the lower the chance of extracting them]

[(Click to consume points and start drawing)]

(Ougou’s favorite. If you believe in your own character, it’s good to try your luck.)

After reading the system notes and strategy messages under the roulette wheel, Zong Shen felt vaguely that this thing was a bit tricky.

In particular, there are no upper and lower limits for rewards, and the sentence that the higher the level of props, the lower the probability of drawing them, is enough to prove that the water on this thing is very deep, and it is very likely that it cannot be grasped.

Moreover, the price of 500 points is not cheap enough to be worth 2,500 pieces of wood. There are many lords who may not have enough wealth to smoke once.

"Let's test the water first!"

"It's only 500 points anyway, so I'm not short of money!"

Zong Shen hesitated for a while but decided to give it a try. Anyway, he was not short of points.

He clicked to draw, 500 points were deducted directly, and the roulette wheel began to spin rapidly.

After a few seconds, the roulette wheel stopped, and the pointer pointed at one of the grids. The wheel began to flash, and a prompt appeared. At the same time, there was an additional item in his storage grid.

[Extraction successful]

[Get: Pet Contract (Purple)]

He drew a rare item in the first draw, which was beyond Zong Shen's expectations and made him feel happy immediately.

"You're pretty lucky this time!"

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Zong Shen once obtained this pet contract, and Bajie, the blood-toothed wild boar, was the contracted pet.

However, what he got at the beginning was only a green-quality contract, and what he drew this time was a purple and rare one. In terms of cherishment, it was definitely not on the same standard.

[Pet Contract (Purple)]

[You can make a contract with any non-humanoid ownerless creature. The success rate fluctuates depending on the status of the other party. The basic success rate is 60%]

(How about finding a partner for Bajie? Then there will be a group of piglets in the territory next year??)

Ignoring the teasing from the guide, Zong Shen looked at the roulette wheel again. Purple pet contracts have a higher basic success rate. If you encounter some powerful monsters in the future, you can try to conquer them through contracts.

Now Zong Shen still has 2047 points and can draw 4 times. Having tasted the sweetness, he is full of expectations for the draw, and his gambler mentality has begun to take hold.

"Again!"

He clicked Extract again.

The roulette wheel began to rotate and stopped after a few seconds. The same light flashed. Looking at the prompts that appeared, Zong Shen was a little disappointed this time.

[Extraction successful]

[Get: Soft Toast Bread × 16]

I only got food, and spent 500 points to get 16 pieces of toast. What a huge loss!

Zong Shen didn't believe in evil, and his gambler's mentality made him a little bit lucky, so he immediately started drawing again!

[Extraction successful]

[Obtain: Kodo feces x 6]

…

[Extraction successful]

[Get: Village woman’s beloved handkerchief × 1]

…

Two draws in a row resulted in useless gray items.

Especially that [Kodo feces], although there is a note below that says "high-quality fertilizer", Zong Shen still feels unhappy!

There was a feeling of being insulted.

After getting no results three times in a row, Zong Shen couldn't help but feel that the roulette scheme was really deep...

Now there are only 547 points left, and one reward can be drawn. Zong Shen gritted his teeth and decided to give it a last try!

If he draws useless items again this time, he will never draw them again!

Zong Shen concentrated and clicked draw for the last time. The roulette wheel began to spin, and his mood became a little uneasy.

The light on the disk flashed, then slowly stopped, and a prompt appeared.

[Extraction successful]

[Get: Dragon Flute (Special) × 1]

In the storage compartment, there was also a prop he had never seen before.

Now he only has 47 points left, which is no longer enough for another roulette draw.

He didn't have to smoke even if he wanted to, and he didn't have to regret it even if he wanted to.

With a thought, I closed [Points Redemption], opened the storage compartment attentively, and checked the item called Dragon Flute.

This is a flute carved from bone. The shape is a bit rough, and there are uneven bone marks on the flute body.

The most important thing is that this item only has the word (special) marked on it, and there is no other mark on the quality or color.

This is quite strange. The last item Zong Shen got that did not show a grade was the [Mysterious Broken Horn] marked (unknown).

I just don’t know what the significance of the dragon flute I got this time is.

【Dragon Flute (Special)】

[A strange dragon flute made from the nasal bones of the clawed black dragon. When played, it can attract the dragons wandering nearby]

(The only dragon flute in the mainland was made by the ancient dragon-slaying warrior Basta Breda thousands of years ago. After being blown, it can emit special sound waves, which can have a huge attraction to the giant dragons wandering nearby. Maybe in the future you can be used)

A flute that can attract giant dragons, in Zong Shen's opinion, is of little use at the moment...

Even if these guys are attracted, they are not easy to get along with, let alone obey their orders. The current strength of Zong Shen and Julong is very different.

Without a relatively balanced strength, it is difficult to show off any operations, although the notes at the end of the guide seem to hint.

But within a short period of time, I'm afraid this thing will only be at the bottom of the box.

Generally speaking, these five point draws can't be said to be a blessing, but it doesn't seem to be a huge profit either. Zong Shen's mentality has returned to normal.

He closed all the light screen pages and waited quietly for the time-stop effect to end.

The temporary opening of point redemption this time is a timely rain for all lords, easing the increasing pressure of the crypt challenge.
