Chapter 041 A Shameful Defense of the City
The Chaos City Lord's city defense mission notice will appear on the Chaos Temple's mission panel immediately, and will no longer be displayed after the preparation is over. It was the middle of the night, and Li Hanqiang finished the preparation quickly. He felt that not many people would see the mission notice he issued.
However, in the Chaos Temple of Tianfeng City, three hardcore players who were squatting down happened to see this.
These three liver masters are Zhen Deqiang, Zhen Dejun, and the master thief.
In fact, they discovered the first mission announcement that Li Hanqiang released, and it was that mission announcement that made them keep grinding until now, specifically guarding the mission information of Chaos City No. 68.
In Zhen Dejun's view, Li Hanqiang was provoking him. He didn't have the item to shout to the whole server, otherwise he would have already shouted something.
"This Li Hanqiang is really reckless. Let me do the math..." Zhen Deqiang counted on his fingers, "He's launched three monster sieges in a row. Can he hold out?"
Zhen Dejun said, "I just want to know what the '0/0' message after the mission notification means? Master Thief, explain it to me."
The master thief was filled with resentment. He had only worked today. He looked at Zhen Deqiang and thought to himself, "What kind of weird guild leader is this? He's so bored. He doesn't care about such a big guild, doesn't level up or fight monsters, and just squats in this Chaos Temple with me, counting on his fingers, down to the last silver coin. I've been farming gold coins all day, but I haven't even managed to get a penny of profit."
After the older women logged off, he kept pulling himself to keep playing, just sitting there like an idiot in the Chaos Temple.
Unfortunately, the man was the boss, and the boss of thirty middle-aged women, so the master thief had no choice but to give in.
The master thief thought for a moment and said, "There is only one explanation: Li Hanqiang's Chaos City is out of available Chaos Stones. I think he must have built up all the defensive towers. He is defending the city alone and does not need the support of adventurer players."
"How many defensive towers would that take?" Zhen Deqiang started counting on his fingers again, but clearly couldn't come up with a result. He only said, "Looks like this guy really has a lot of gold coins. How much did he collect?"
"Brother, what should we do? We've already made those promises, isn't Li Hanqiang's behavior a slap in the face?" Zhen Dejun said.
Zhen Deqiang pointed at the master thief: "You tell me!"
"What the hell am I talking about..." the master thief thought to himself. He, Li Hanqiang, was not short of money. He could defend the city with a single machine. How could this possibly work?
After holding back for a while, the master thief finally said, "I will stop leveling up and instead focus on waiting for his city defense missions. As long as players are allowed to accept them, I will bring my aunties over. If he fails to defend the city even once, his development will fall far behind. He can't rely on defensive towers to defend forever; in the end, he will have to rely on the players."
"Foolish!" Zhen Deqiang glared at the master thief. "What are we going to do about Li Hanqiang issuing a city defense mission in the middle of the night? The aunties won't be able to log on in time! Isn't there a more forceful way? Can't we just attack his Chaos City directly?!"
The master thief shook his head and said, "Don't think about it at this stage. It might be possible after the Empire faction is opened and we have Void Airships. However... during the closed beta, I heard about an item called the [Siege Token], which is for the exclusive use of the Chaos City Lord. After using it, the Chaos City Lord can designate a Chaos City to start a siege. However, this token can only be dropped by BOSSes of level 20 or above, and the drop rate is extremely low. If we can get one, we might be able to attack Li Hanqiang's city."
"A level 20 boss?" Zhen Deqiang thought for a moment and said, "I'll send people to farm the boss when it's light. It's just a siege token, right? If I can't get it by fighting, I can just buy it. But, to launch a siege, I still need a Chaos City Lord, right?"
"Brother, why don't you contact Chun Sanyue of the Qiankun Grand Alliance?" Zhen Dejun said. "He's a Chaos City Lord!"
Zhen Deqiang nodded and said, "That good-for-nothing Chun Sanyue and I have known each other since we were kids. He's not much of a daredevil, but he's passable at petty theft!"
He looked at the master thief and said, "You still need to continue your undercover work. It would be best to find out everything about Li Hanqiang's situation, what kind of defensive towers he has, how many there are. Knowing your enemy and yourself will ensure victory in every battle. I think Li Hanqiang's intelligence is limited, so this task should be quite simple!"
"Alright!" The master thief nodded...
The monster siege has already begun here, and Li Hanqiang is now filled with regret.
In a moment of euphoria, he launched the 8th wave of monster siege just to issue a mission notice, but this wave of monster siege was not easy to defend!
The siege monster was a level 18 saber-toothed tiger with 1600-2000 HP. Including the Beast Hunter, Li Hanqiang only had four defensive towers that could fight, and his firepower output was clearly insufficient.
The group of lesser demons were completely useless, and Li Hanqiang was so anxious that he could only stare blankly. Then, an elite-level level 18 Ironclaw Saber-toothed Tiger spawned in the spacetime wormhole, which made matters worse and finally allowed some monsters to escape.
The saber-toothed tiger that had escaped pounced on the Heart of Chaos, disappearing as if it had plunged directly into a black hole, and the chaotic energy of the Heart of Chaos also decreased slightly.
Fortunately, Li Hanqiang still had the small Chaos Bottle. The saber-toothed tiger hadn't leaked much. As soon as he saw the saber-toothed tiger break out of the defensive tower's firing range, he poured chaotic energy into the Chaos Heart. In the end, all the chaotic energy in the small Chaos Bottle was used up, which allowed him to save three points of chaotic energy in the Chaos Heart.
After the monster siege ended, Li Hanqiang received a disgraceful rating for defending the city, and did not receive the perfect defense reward.
"Excessive joy leads to sorrow; recklessness inevitably leads to ruin!"
Li Hanqiang sighed inwardly, realizing that impulsiveness is a devil. He was filled with lingering fear. He had clearly witnessed the consequences of that "Fat Tiger" failing to defend the city. If he failed to defend the city this time and ruined a good game, he would truly be devastated.
Seemingly in response to Li Hanqiang's humiliating defense of the city, the rewards for this defense were extremely poor. Li Hanqiang only drew a Chaos Stone Tablet, and was so angry that he almost banged his head against the wall.
By this time, it was already bright outside. Li Hanqiang sighed and logged off in shame, while Chun Sanyue logged on at the headquarters of Qiankun Technology Company.
Today, in the third month of spring, he felt exceptionally refreshed. He had collected a batch of gold coins last night, and with the reserves in the Chaos Treasury, he could finally upgrade the Heart of Chaos.
"It is said that once the Heart of Chaos reaches LV2, you can obtain a Governor. Today, I will see what's so special about this Governor."
In the third month of spring, standing near the Heart of Chaos, with a thought, as a thousand gold coins were consumed, the Heart of Chaos quickly grew larger, and with a flash of light, it leveled up to LV2.
A system notification then sounded: "Ding, the Heart of Chaos has been upgraded to LV2, and the maximum storage capacity of Chaos Energy has been increased to 1000. The Heart of Chaos can be upgraded to LV3 by consuming 5000 gold coins."
"Ding! Your Excellency Lord of Chaos City, we are creating a Governor for you. The Governor possesses a random talent ability that will help you better manage Chaos City. As the Governor's level increases, many functional buildings will be unlocked. Please explore them on your own."
"Ding, Your Excellency Lord of Chaos, please take care to protect the Governor. The Governor has a personality setting and cannot be resurrected once he dies."
"Ding, Your Excellency Lord of Chaos, your Administrator has been created and is descending!"
"Ding, Your Excellency Lord of Chaos City, you may now choose to join an empire faction. Upon successful joining, you will receive an imperial military rank and a void airship. The currently available empire factions are: Xuanlong Empire, Demon Dragon Empire, and Star Dragon Empire."
