Tower Defense Lord from Earth

Chapter 107 My hands are numb from opening so many treasure chests

Silver Gloves, Smiley Mask, Umbrella, Colorful Seashells, Crab Shell, Diver Outfit, Small Money Pouch, Experience Book, Clam Shell Jewelry Box, Dried Squid, Salted Fish Canned Goods —

One item after another was opened by Liu Huasheng from the treasure chest, a motley collection of strange and unusual items: some were equipment, some were functional props, some were useless junk, and some were seafood.

Only Liu Huasheng could open all the treasure chests. He felt like he was opening blind boxes, and his heart was full of anticipation.

Everyone busied themselves with the activity, as if browsing a free market, occasionally picking out a good item and calling out to everyone to take a look!

Liu Huasheng opened over a hundred treasure chests in one go. In his experience, these chests were dropped by weak sea monsters, and the items that came out were mostly low-level, with a very low chance of getting good stuff.

However, Chaos City was newly built and lacked everything. Regardless of whether the items obtained were useful or not, everyone thought they were pretty good!

Before long, Donkey Afu brought another cartload of treasure chests.

"There are still many treasure chests outside, too many to fit in one cart. We've brought some over first. Please drive slowly, Master."

As Donkey Afu spoke, he unloaded the treasure chest in the center of the council hall and then pulled the cart away.

It prevents treasure chests from being placed in storage slots; it's essentially a cart used to transport treasure chests.

Liu Huasheng continued opening treasure chests.

He never expected that tonight would be another sleepless night. Treasure chests were loaded onto cart after cart, and he kept opening them until his hands were numb. He didn't finish opening them until the next morning.

By this time, no one was there to help him count the items; all the other players had collapsed from exhaustion and gone to Dragon City Academy to AFK and sleep.

"Damn it, I haven't even gotten to the point at this political meeting. We haven't discussed development strategies, construction plans, or task allocation—we've been opening blind boxes for ages. What a failure!"

Liu Huasheng muttered to himself, then looked back at his spoils, feeling quite accomplished.

All the items were divided into four categories and piled up into four "small mountains".

Some can be eaten directly, some are semi-finished products, and some are pure ingredients.

Liu Huasheng didn't calculate it precisely, but he estimated that this batch of food was worth at least 30,000 to 40,000 jin of grain.

The second pile of items consists of various non-attribute miscellaneous items, including clam shells, tortoise shells, pearl necklaces, and black pearls.

Although these things have no attributes, they are not entirely useless.

For example, pearl necklaces and black pearls can be used as jewelry. If they could be sent to Earth, they would definitely be considered high-end items.

For example, some tortoise shells can be used as tables and benches.

For example, items like sea monster masks and octopus headgear can be obtained in quantities of thirty or forty. They have no attributes, are not considered fashion items, cannot be worn instantly, and do not have the ability to be permanently cleaned, but they can be worn manually.

Ma Xianlong and Sima Zhen liked it very much. Ma Xianlong took away a pair of silver scale gloves, a flower crab mask and a sea lion mask.

Sima Zhen took three octopus headgear. He was a bone-armored giant wolf, and he disliked the skull wolf head, so he put on an octopus headgear on the spot and was still wearing it when he left the council hall.

The third pile of items consists of fashion items and equipment.

Fashion items include [Diver], [Sea Urchin Warrior], and [Shrimp Soldier Captain].

All of these outfits have the ability to be worn with a single thought, permanently cleaned, and have their appearance altered, but they do not offer any additional attribute bonuses. Some even restrict the class from which they can be worn. The best of these is the [Shrimp Soldier Captain] outfit, which, when worn, gives the wearer a shrimp head and a human body, covered in silver armor, making it the most visually appealing.

Guan Zhengxing took this outfit to make it convenient for eating noodles at the noodle shop and for activities in the city and various secret realms.

As for the equipment, most of it is ordinary, including tridents, arrowfish spines, snake bone whips, tortoise shell shields, etc. Most of them have durability settings, which will decrease with long-term use, and will be destroyed when the durability is exhausted.

The rarest item among them is called the Crab Boomerang. It has no durability and can be used indefinitely. It provides five points of attack power and returns automatically when thrown. It was taken by Ma Xianlong.

The last pile of items consisted of Liu Huasheng's usable relics and functional items; it was the smallest in quantity, including four bottles of stamina potions.

Four Life Medals, six Defense Rings, 60 Sea Monster Dolls, three Blueprints for Building Sea Monster Lairs, one Mysterious Surfboard, six Scrolls for Summoning the Deep Sea Guardians, and the Technology Blueprint: Pineapple House!

The four stamina potions, life medals, and defense rings were nothing special; Liu Huasheng had already dealt with them before.

Liu Huasheng was pleasantly surprised by the 60 sea monster dolls.

In the trading market, doll props are scarce. There are fewer than 50 currently listed for sale, and the prices are exorbitant. Anyone who buys them is a sucker. There isn't a single one that is genuinely intended for sale!

Liu Huasheng got 60 in this round, which can be considered a big profit.

Of the 60 sea monster dolls, 10 can summon level 2 gold-plundering sea monsters, and 50 can summon level 3 siege sea monsters. Liu Huasheng used them all at this moment, bringing the number of flying bandits under his command to 20 and the number of siege monsters to 60!

"Ah Hu, new bandits and siege monsters have appeared in the Conquest Hall. Take them all to Dragon City Academy to AFK. If you don't have anything else to do, AFK there too to speed up their leveling!"

Liu Huasheng sent a message to the game assistant, Ah Hu.

As a top-notch game assistant, Ah Hu replied to the message in less than three seconds: "Received!"

Liu Huasheng thought to himself, "It's really great that the game assistant can send messages."

"With Dragon City Academy around, these dolls can level up while AFK, greatly increasing their value. This batch of sixty, although they are all ordinary monsters, is still quite good as they can be leveled up to level 6 while AFK in the academy."

Liu Huasheng then looked at the remaining items.

【Blueprint for building a sea monster's lair: A special item that can be used by tower defense lords. After use, a sea monster's lair will be built in the water. The sea monster's lair is a special barracks that automatically trains sea monster warriors and cannot be manually interfered with. Lord players can only view the number of sea monsters and cannot obtain specific information.】

Once the sea monster's lair is built, it will appear as a whirlpool in the sea. This whirlpool has durability, and if it is attacked, the durability will drop. Once the durability is cleared, the sea monster's lair will disappear.

Once a sea monster's lair is built, the lord player can open its teleportation exit in any sea area to summon sea monsters and launch a landing war!

However, please note that the sea monster's lair is not a fusion building; it can only be built in water. Furthermore, the sea monsters are of low intelligence and difficult to command accurately!

When a war is launched by activating the sea monster's lair, the sea monsters will swarm out. Regardless of whether they have completed their war missions, they will not return, and they will die seven days after landing.

The sea monster's teleportation portal can be dispelled by certain magic or functional items.

Only after the landing war ends can the lord player summon the exit of the sea monster's lair again.

【Mysterious Surfboard: Relic, can be used by one person, can attract mysterious forces to create waves and propel the surfboard forward in the water, with a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

Please note that using the mystery surfboard requires a certain level of surfing skill; those without sufficient skill may fall into the water.

【Summoning Scroll of the Deep Sea Guardian: Special item, exclusive to Tower Defense Lords. After use, it can summon the Deep Sea Guardian in the water. The Deep Sea Guardian is a giant sea serpent that can spew corrosive venom. It is designed as a special magic defense tower, a non-biological creature, and can be used to defend the sea.

Note 1: Ordinary defensive towers cannot be built in water, while the Deep Sea Guardian can only be summoned in water. It can respond to the tower relocation skill, but cannot leave the water.

Note 2: The Deep Sea Guardian cannot be repaired, but it possesses biological characteristics and can regenerate health naturally.

Note 3: The Deep Sea Guardian is summoned as a Tier 1 defensive tower, and can slowly grow into a Tier 3 defensive tower, its appearance changing from a sea serpent to an elemental hydra.

【Technology Blueprint - Pineapple House: Special item, exclusive to Chaos Lords. Use your territory to acquire the technology to build the Pineapple House. All workers will gain the ability to build the Pineapple House and can work together to quickly build it!】

After acquiring this technology, the outer shells of all houses will be transformed into pineapple houses!

The standard pineapple house costs 100 gold coins per square meter to build. Players can submit gold coins to commission laborers to build it. Usually, five laborers work together to build it, and the construction time is one hour per square meter!

The higher the migrant worker's grade, the more advanced the construction techniques of the pineapple house, the larger its scale, and the higher its living comfort.

Players can hire multiple construction teams to build the pineapple house simultaneously, but this will cost a high price.

Special feature: Aquatic workers can build underwater pineapple houses; please explore on your own to see for yourself.

Liu Huasheng checked the attributes of all the items in front of him one by one, and then used the [Technology Blueprint - Pineapple House] on the spot. He thought this technology was quite interesting and could be used to decorate his territory. If the players wanted to build it as a residence, he would be happy to see it happen.

A moment later, Liu Huasheng, having finished tidying up his many items, arrived at the alchemy room.

The name "Alchemy Room" was just Liu Huasheng's own designation. In fact, the small room formed in the city defense hall after the Innate Divine Fire Tower was integrated into Chaos City had no walls and was more like a pavilion, with eight pillars supporting a roof and an Eight Trigrams Furnace placed in the center. That was all.

The view from here is excellent; standing here, one can observe all directions and survey the area outside the city.

Sima Zhen went to Longcheng Academy to AFK and sleep, but the pills in the Eight Trigrams Furnace had already been refined.

"This is using a level 10 near-shore giant sea monster as material for alchemy! Let's see what kind of treasure we can make!"

Liu Huasheng was filled with anticipation. At that moment, with a thought, he lifted the lid of the Bagua Furnace in the alchemy room, and a golden light immediately shone out from it. When the light dissipated, three pills appeared in front of Liu Huasheng.

One pill is a resurrection pill that can bring people back to life!

One pill is a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir that can increase the maximum health by 900 points after consumption!

There is also one called the [Demon Transformation Pill]!

[Demon Transformation Pill: A special item that causes mutation upon consumption. It can be consumed by either players in the tower or by monsters in the wild. Consuming it grants the user the Siren's physique and randomly grants one of the abilities of a near-sea giant. Please note that consuming the Demon Transformation Pill may change your appearance and has a certain chance of affecting your original skills.]
