Chapter 074 City Gate
"You can also build city defense centers?" Li Hanqiang stopped and turned around.
If this provincial governor Xiang Mang can also build a city defense center, wouldn't that mean his Chaos City would have two city defense centers? What's the use of that?
Xiang Mang, who was riding on the back of the three-headed tiger, nodded and said, "Of course, this is the basic method for the governor. When I reach level 5, I can also get the exclusive item, the Governor's Code."
"That's strong!" Li Hanqiang thought to himself, "That's quite interesting." He pointed to the city defense center ahead and said, "Go to the Demon Mountain Cave and find a few lesser demons. Build another city defense center right next to this one."
"Okay!" Xiang Mang rode the three-headed tiger of the Flame Demon and immediately returned to the Demon Mountain Cave.
The young monk Huixin caught up with Li Hanqiang in a few steps and whispered, "Lord City Lord, that new provincial governor looks quite fierce. Will I be working with him from now on?"
Li Hanqiang nodded and said, "We're brothers, let's get along well!"
Li Hanqiang strode into the city defense center, which was a grand hall. As soon as he stepped into the hall, Li Hanqiang heard a system notification: "Ding, you have started the tenth wave of the monster siege, completed the first link of the city defense task chain, and unlocked [City Gate Construction]."
"System notification: Dear Lord of Chaos City, you can now construct city gates. You can choose between traditional city gates and drawbridge city gates. The type of city gate will affect the subsequent construction of Chaos City. If you choose traditional city gates, the future development direction of Chaos City will be a city. If you choose drawbridge city gates, the future development direction of Chaos City will be a castle."
"System prompt: The construction of the city gate requires 100 points of Chaos Energy. After completion, the Chaos City Lord and the Governor can control the opening and closing of the city gate. The initial city gate is three zhang high, the width is the same as the War Corridor, the durability is 10000 points, and the armor is zero. All ground-based siege monsters must pass through the city gate to enter the Chaos City Square."
"System notification: Each time you unlock a BOSS level, you can consume Chaos Energy to upgrade the city gate, increasing its durability and armor values. Each upgrade will enlarge the city gate, with a maximum height of thirty-six zhang!"
"System notification: The city gate can be repaired and forcibly destroyed. Rebuilding the city gate requires 200 points of Chaos Energy..."
After hearing this series of system prompts, Li Hanqiang understood that choosing the type of city gate was simply a matter of determining the subsequent architectural style of Chaos City. Cities and castles should correspond to Eastern and Western architectural styles, respectively.
Although Li Hanqiang thought the castle was cool, he also felt that living in it was a bit oppressive. He preferred to stay in the city and felt more at ease. So he silently made his choice and immediately heard the system notification: "Ding, you have selected the traditional city gate type. Completing subsequent city defense tasks will unlock the construction of crenellated walls, gate towers, corner towers, and ramparts. Please explore on your own."
At this moment, another information panel popped up in front of Li Hanqiang; it was the information panel of the city defense center.

City Defense Center: Functional building, indestructible
Chief Administrator: Huixin (can be replaced by another Chief Administrator upon her death).
Current city defense quest chain progress: Second stage, after the 20th wave of monster siege begins, city wall construction will be unlocked.
Chaos City Technology List: Chaos Slab Movement, War Tree Cultivation Technology, Fortified City Gate Technology
Urban defense technology research progress: 0%
Note: When the research progress of city defense technology reaches 100%, you will randomly obtain one city defense technology. For each successful defense against a wave of monster attacks, the progress of city defense technology will increase by 1%-10%. You can further increase the research progress of city defense technology by having a governor oversee the city, assigning special talents, using research scrolls, and other methods.

After looking at the information panel, Li Hanqiang thought to himself, no wonder the official information said that each Chaos City would not have the same development trajectory. There are just too many random elements. The city defense rewards are random, the governor's talents are random, and even the city defense technology is random. Who knows what other randomness will come in the future? It would be strange if the development trajectories of the Chaos Cities were the same.
Upon seeing the progress report on the city defense technology research, Li Hanqiang couldn't help but feel a little proud.
He is no ordinary Chaos City Lord. He has no faction and can have multiple governors and multiple city defense centers. If he can defend against a wave of monster attacks, the research progress of all city defense centers will be improved, which means that he can research multiple city defense technologies at the same time.
"The future is bright and promising!" Li Hanqiang felt even more confident about his path as a factionless pirate.
The city defense center was spacious and there wasn't much to see. Li Hanqiang quickly came out and led the little monk Huixin to the entrance of Chaos City Square, at the edge of the war corridor.
This is the place where the construction of the city gate is permitted.
With a thought, Li Hanqiang conjured up a tall city gate as 100 points of chaotic energy were consumed. The city gate was quite simple, with a square stone wall on the outside and a bridge-like archway in the middle. The "archway" was the same width as the war corridor, three zhang long and three zhang high, and at the front were two extremely heavy wooden doors.
Those two wooden doors are the city gates. Thanks to the [Sturdy City Wall] technology, they have 20000 durability points and 10 armor points, making them even tougher than level 2 defensive towers.
Clearly, apart from the flying siege monsters, any other siege monsters that cross the war corridor will attempt to storm the city gate. If the gate is not breached, the siege monsters will be unable to enter the city.
"With this city gate, the city defense strategy will have to change!" Li Hanqiang smiled slightly.
He approached the city gate and shouted, "Open the gate!"
With a loud bang, the two heavy wooden doors swung open behind them.
Li Hanqiang shouted again, "Close the door!"
The city gate was immediately closed again.
With a smile on his face, Li Hanqiang played with opening and closing the gate for a while, then stepped into the air and came to the top of the city gate. Looking around, he said, "The city walls will definitely be added to both sides of this city gate in the future, and a gate tower should be built on top of the city gate. But now there are no city walls or gate towers. It's just a bare city gate, which is rather shabby."
After saying that, Li Hanqiang opened the storage space and threw down two signboard flags.
The two signboard flags were erected on the left and right sides above the city gate, and immediately the flags fluttered. The flag on the left had the four characters "威武浩蕩" (Majestic and Mighty) and the flag on the right had the four characters "固若金汤" (Solid as a Fortress).
Li Hanqiang was just using these two signboard flags as decorations.
Then, Li Hanqiang waved his hand and said to the young monk Huixin, "Little monk, I have a bold idea, and it all depends on your performance!"
The young monk Huixin looked bewildered and asked, "What are your thoughts, City Lord? What should I do?"
Li Hanqiang smiled slightly, not saying anything explicitly, but simply said, "No rush, no rush. Let's save up some gold coins for a few days and wait for the 13th wave of monster siege to begin!"
