Chapter 14 Engineering Shop, Big Red Dot
After Liu Huasheng finished defeating his rat, he stopped interfering with the broadcast of [Magic Sound Tower] and let it continue playing storytelling.
Looking at this rare tower, Liu Huasheng suddenly realized something.
He recalled the inscriptions on his own defensive towers and thought to himself, if towers are like this, how can people bear it!
As the only player on Earth with a cheat-like ability, I am an ambassador for Earth culture and have the responsibility and obligation to promote Earth culture.
"I am a citizen of Earth, I am proud, and I will start by promoting Earth culture..."
Liu Huasheng spoke generously, but he was actually more concerned about whether this wave of GGs would increase the sales of dried rat meat.
He just wants to quickly accumulate enough gold coins and wood to upgrade Chaos City to Tier 2!
In addition, this Demon Sound Tower can forcibly broadcast messages across the entire map, which has many uses. Having it is equivalent to controlling the public opinion platform. At critical moments, you can use psychological tactics, which will definitely be effective!
A moment later, Liu Huasheng led 31 laborers back to Chaos City.
Since the Gathering Bell can only summon laborers within a kilometer of Chaos City, it's best for these laborers to work nearby. They can make a big splash when needed, and if their numbers increase, they will become a very powerful force!
"It's a pity the militia transformation only lasts for 30 minutes. Otherwise, I could train laborers to fight. At this stage, laborers are still quite effective in combat..."
Liu Huasheng pondered silently.
Upon returning to his territory, Liu Huasheng reassigned jobs to the laborers, with 5 mining and 26 gathering wood.
If this situation can be stabilized and both mines are operating, Liu Huasheng can earn 1000 gold coins and 2600 pieces of wood a day just from mining!
At 11 a.m., the Demon Sound Tower began broadcasting Guo Degang's crosstalk, while Liu Huasheng moved the Death Tower another 400 meters south!
He was determined to get those three level-one monsters at the entrance to the ruins!
"Wang Shuaibo has disappeared somewhere. That's the problem with player subordinates—they're too independent and lack a genuine sense of loyalty..."
Liu Huasheng muttered to himself as he continued driving the donkey cart, exploring the map!
This time, he didn't linger around the inaccessible Central Ruins, but instead headed northwest of his own territory, where there was a canyon-like road leading to an unknown area!
At that moment, Hua Xiaolan led five migrant workers to a location a hundred meters away from the Demon Sound Tower.
"So that's where the broadcast came from!"
Hua Xiaolan's face was gloomy. The jokes on the radio were very funny, but she couldn't laugh at the moment.
My arrow tower is gone, and the Demon Sound Tower has taken its place. This proves that the gold mine here has been robbed by someone else. I came here for nothing!
"That damned Wang Shuaibo bit and killed 10 of my laborers! The training fees alone cost 750 gold coins! Although I was clever enough to lock him in the gold mine so he wouldn't have a chance to cause trouble again, I can't mine anymore..."
Hua Xiaolan felt frustrated. The family's gold mine was closed, and the gold mines outside had been taken over by others. She was now essentially cut off from all income!
"This game is unplayable without an economy, what should I do?"
Hua Xiaolan racked her brains trying to find a way out of this predicament, but she could only come up with one idea: to develop a sycophant!
"Wang Shuaibo is no longer human; there's no point in him developing further. Maybe the dried rat seller is a possibility!"
Hua Xiaolan quickly made a decision: since she had already left home, she would go to the high ground at 11:30. With her age, looks, and figure, she would never lack admirers no matter where she went.
With this in mind, Hua Xiaolan mounted her black horse and began her journey westward!
Not long after, Hua Xiaolan, who was pondering how to speak to the unscrupulous merchant who sold dried rats, was suddenly blasted off her horse by a black laser.
That black laser was the death ray.
Liu Huasheng's death tower opened fire from a kilometer away!
The player, who was assumed to be a Tier 1 BOSS, lost 20 health points in one hit!
Terrified, she disregarded all decorum and scrambled backward. Her game assistant, Black Horse, circled back and exclaimed, "It's terrible, Master! The enemy has a Death Tower with a range of one thousand meters!"
"A range of one kilometer! And such high attack power? This is a divine tower!"
Hua Xiaolan was still shaken and dared not go forward again, thus her plan to develop a sycophantic boyfriend was aborted.
A moment later, she returned the way she came, thinking that she could only try her luck with other players.
At this moment, Liu Huasheng followed the canyon passage into a dense forest.
The trees in this dense forest are tall and thick, and there is a thin mist. A narrow path, three meters wide, winds forward, its destination unknown.
It was extremely quiet all around.
Of course, you can also hear the radio here!
Liu Huasheng wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, he was quite curious.
"Since there's a path, there must be something ahead. What could it be? A monster stronghold? A treasure chest in the wild?"
With this thought in mind, Liu Huasheng urged the donkey Afu to quicken its pace.
Donkey Afu said, "Master, I think selling goods is more interesting. Why don't I go sell goods instead?"
Liu Huasheng said, "We don't sell during the day, we sell at night!"
Why?
"Because I sleep at night..."
Liu Huasheng gave a casual reply, and at that moment, he raised his head and craned his neck to look ahead.
Through the thin mist, he saw several blurry, enormous figures.
"Is it a monster? Ah Fu, slow down! We're approaching a monster stronghold, and judging by the appearance, the monster is enormous!"
Liu Huasheng quickly reminded him.
Donkey Afu immediately slowed down and began to move forward carefully and slowly.
A moment later, Liu Huasheng's eyes widened, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
Just as he expected, he discovered a monster stronghold!
There are 15 monsters!
The most conspicuous one was humanoid, estimated to be seven or eight meters tall, with a blue face and fangs, horns on its head, and skin like brown tree bark. It carried a huge stone mace and had a robust build. It was a level seven elite monster, the Stone Hammer Leader!
Its health points are as high as 8000!
On its left and right sides stood two blue-skinned [cannibalistic mages], level 5 humanoid monsters, obese, about five meters tall, carrying wooden spiked clubs, with 3000 health points!
Behind the [Cannibal Mage] were four white-skinned [Cannibal Warriors], level three humanoid monsters, three meters tall, with 500 health points!
At the very back are eight Tree Demon Axe Throwers, each about two meters tall. They are level 2 humanoid monsters with green skin, pointed ears, and thin teeth. They wield short-handled stone axes and have only 200 health points!
Behind this group of visually striking monsters, there is a tall building that looks like an ancient palace ruin, covered with cracks and exuding a sense of age.
"Holy crap, are jungle monsters that strong?"
Having witnessed it firsthand, Liu Huasheng was struck by the overwhelming presence of the monsters. Unfortunately, he could only see their names, levels, and health points, unaware of their skills and attack power.
"Master, there's an engineering shop ahead!" Donkey Afu had clearly triggered the announcement mechanism, and he said to Liu Huasheng in a deep voice, "The engineering shop sells engineering creations in limited quantities. First come, first served. Don't miss it if you see it!"
"First come, first served? We'll have to take over this monster stronghold first, won't we?"
Liu Huasheng thought to himself that even if he brought his whole family's militia over to this monster stronghold, they probably wouldn't be able to touch it. As for the stone hammer leader, who was seven or eight meters tall, not to mention whether he had any attack skills, he could probably crush someone to death with a single step of his big foot!
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Liu Huasheng had a flash of inspiration. "The trees here are so dense. Could we use the terrain to our advantage and take down this monster stronghold with our defensive towers?"
