Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 4 Repairing Fences
"Brother Legs, what should I do next? There are still two hours before the first wave of monsters attack the city, but I can't even get out of my room now."

Zhang Yao hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, this is one of the reasons I mentioned at the beginning that your situation is not so bad."

Cheng Shen opened the trading market and replied at the same time.

"I was just speculating at first, but the information you provided afterward has continuously confirmed my thoughts.

Since there are patrolling guards, chefs, and inhabitable safe houses in that castle, it means that it is not as chaotic as you imagined, but has some special operating rules.

However, this rule may not be very friendly to ordinary people.

The monsters in the castle will operate according to the rules, so they will not easily let the monsters from outside come in.

It is even more impossible for the system to allow you to participate in a tower defense game before you have taken control of that castle.

And the items you get from the treasure chest are even more important evidence.

The treasures we open are basically materials and recruitment rolls, but yours are equipment.

Therefore, the danger you have to face will only come from inside the castle, and you don't have to worry about monsters attacking the city. "

After finishing speaking, Cheng Shen felt that the words were not rigorous enough, so he added a sentence.

"At least you don't have to worry about it now."

"I see."

Zhang Yao's whole body softened when he heard the words, "Then I'm relieved! Wait a while for the monsters to attack the city, and I'll just hide in the room and not go out!"

"..."

Cheng Shen's thoughts paused for a moment.

He saw a transaction of exchanging wood for stone, the ratio is naturally 1:1, both materials are basic resources, and there will be no premium.

He has a total of 53 units of stone.

After building the Frostbolt Tower, there are still 23 units left.

He replaced these stones with wood.

It takes 10 units of wood to repair the fence, 5 units to repair the training stake, and the campfire consumes wood continuously.

Wood is far more useful to him than stone.

Cheng Shen checked and found that the territory was surrounded by forests, and there were no towering mountains or obvious mineral veins.

In other words, he will definitely be short of stones in the future.

But relative.

He can exchange enough wood with other lords for stone.

At this stage, the key is to use all the resources in your hands and try to survive the monster siege.

And water.

There is only 1 unit of clean water in the territory, barely enough to meet his daily intake.

But Cheng Shen remembered that watching the World Channel before, there was a river directly near the birth point of someone, presumably there would be no shortage of water resources.

After searching for specific terms he found he was wrong.

Wrong.

Although someone guards a river and a wheat field at the beginning, the exchange price of food and water in the market is still ridiculously high.

Not every lord can start with food and water in resource packs.

Each person starts with only two pieces of bread and a bottle of water, which is barely enough for one person for a day.

Not to mention that demand doubles after recruiting a unit.

In the market, the price of a piece of bread has already reached the same value as an iron ingot!
The price of water is slightly lower and much more expensive than basic supplies.

Such prices are obviously unreasonable.

"Someone is trying to control the trading market..."

Cheng Shen saw the clue.

There must be a manipulative reason behind such a crazy food trade.If it's just that the price of food is high, he can understand it, but now there is even a shortage of water, and there is no other explanation except that some people deliberately control sales.

Think for a moment.

He will understand.

There is no guarantee that food resources will be available after a monster siege.

This first batch of food and water is the most precious. Once they are all taken away, they will not be replenished later. Then, the lord who had a large amount of water resources in the early stage must be a rare commodity to live in, and he can exchange for anything he wants.

Everyone has selfishness.

Including him.

Controlling the sale of water resources can help a lord accumulate a large amount of important resources in a short period of time, giving him more hope of survival.

But in fact, achieving the purpose of strengthening oneself by squeezing other people's living space excessively in this way is just a slow suicide.

Even capitalists know how to cut leeks sustainably.

pity.

Few people can see the long term.

However, at present, this trend is not serious.

The main reason is that the first wave of monsters has not yet appeared, and no one knows what the situation here is.

If the food problem cannot be alleviated after the first wave of monsters, then something will happen.

Cheng Shen thought a lot, but he didn't have enough resources to take preventive measures.

He just took out five pieces of bread and exchanged ten units of clean water.

Then I checked and found that I couldn't exchange good things, so I closed the market.

Before the first wave of monsters, it was impossible for someone to take out the recruitment scroll or the architectural blueprint to exchange for materials, and they all asked to exchange for the same items.

Only after the first wave of defense is completed, the trading market will be enriched.

"Your thinking is wrong."

Cheng Shen replied at this time.

"I guess, the monsters in the castle must be much stronger than the monsters that attacked the city in the previous waves, or even the monsters in the first ten waves.

Even if you are equipped, it is definitely not something you can handle at this stage.

The purpose of the system should be to let you face the siege monsters and gain growth in the battle.

If you choose to hide in the room, after the weakest first few waves of monsters are dealt with by the castle guards, you will completely lose your chance of surviving. "

"...Oh! I see, brother leg! Isn't this just a game for fighting monsters and upgrading!
Gaining experience, upgrading levels, exploding equipment, these are my strengths!

Wait for my good news, brother leg! "

Zhang Yao seemed to suddenly realize.

"……Be careful."

Cheng Shen still had something to say.

He felt that there should be many places worth exploring in that castle.

Such as the chef on the first floor.

The red room on the second floor.

Since that monster castle can always maintain operation in a unique way, there must be some special rules.

If Zhang Yao can figure out the rules, he will definitely be able to move around the castle more easily, and even control the castle.

But all of this is based on the fact that he can survive.

As a stranger who has never met, Cheng Shen has helped him enough, and the next thing is to see his own fortune.

[Will it be built—the Frost Arrow Tower? 】

"Yes."

At the sound of the system's prompt, Cheng Shen took out the construction materials, and chose to use the drawings behind the wooden fence at the gate.

Boom...!
The ground trembled.

Light emerged, and a three-meter-high cyan stone tower slowly rose from the ground. The upper part of the arrow tower was a stone sculpture in the image of an archer.

The moment it was built, the icon of the arrow tower also emerged in the territory model in his mind.

Cheng Shen can freely control the arrow tower to attack any unit.

Its range covered the entire courtyard.

Therefore, even if a monster attacks from the side or rear, there is no need to worry about getting out of its attack range.

"The attack speed of 1.6 is about two seconds per hit. To be honest, it is still a bit slow. After all, it is an auxiliary defensive tower controlled by the master..."

"But the first wave of monsters shouldn't be too strong."

Cheng Shen thought.

The Frost Arrow Tower is a rare defense tower anyway, even if it is not an output tower, it is not a problem to defend the first wave of monsters.

Cheng Shen deduced this point from Zhang Yao.

Very simple.

Look at the attribute strength of his two pieces of equipment.

The sum of those two pieces of equipment is probably equivalent to the attributes of a Frost Arrow Tower, or even worse.

If the system felt that it could survive at that level, the Arrow Tower would definitely be able to easily defend the first wave of monsters.

of course.

He also needs to prepare.

Wooden fence, fix!

Cheng Shen chose to invest ten units of wood.

The wooden fence surrounding the entire small courtyard suddenly took on a new look under a blanket of white light.

【wood fence】

【level one】

[Level: Normal]

【Level: 1】

[Effect: Protect the basic fortifications of the territory. Before the durability of the wooden fence is exhausted, no monsters can invade your territory through the ground]

[Feature: None]

[Durability: 5000/5000]
