Chapter 015 City Lord's Talent
Half-Moon's Chaos City, number 12, also started with defensive arrow towers. The city defense mission was issued very late, and four players came to support her during the first wave of monster attacks.
Unlike Li Hanqiang, who was alone, Banyue Qingcheng clearly had a team. The four players who came to support her all knew her, and they were all female players: one was an archer, one was a mage, one was a priest, and one was a warlock.
Standard four distances!
Among the monsters attacking the city, there was also a flying old black boar, which was easily killed by four ranged professional players and arrow towers.
Half Moon City was incredibly lucky; she won a blueprint for a basic turret in a lottery. Once the turret was built, she easily defended against the second wave of monsters attacking the city.
Li Hanqiang had witnessed the power of the turret firsthand. Its splash damage was extremely strong, especially against slow-moving monsters like the little black pigs and big black pigs that liked to huddle together. Two shots could kill a whole bunch of them.
What made Li Hanqiang extremely jealous was that she had drawn another basic turret in the Half-Month City Lottery. With the powerful firepower of the three defensive towers, she easily defended against the third wave of monster attacks without any danger, and even adventurer players did not need to participate.
Li Hanqiang scrolled to the end of the replay video and heard Banyue Qingcheng say, "For the Chaos City Lord, holding off the first three waves of monster attacks is just the beginning of the game. The talent choices that follow are very important, so let me explain them to you..."
"Here comes the important part!" Li Hanqiang hadn't chosen the city lord talent yet, but as soon as he heard that Half Moon Beauty was going to introduce this, he immediately perked up.
"The city lord's talent directly affects the way the Chaos City Lord will play the game, which is equivalent to the Chaos City Lord's skill. The system provides three initial talents, namely [Abundant Wealth], [Stone Slab Master], and [Energy Awakening], from which you can choose one."
"The 'Abundant Wealth' talent doubles the accumulation speed of gold coins in the Chaos Treasury. Don't underestimate this talent; it's practically the best talent for beginners. After defending against three waves of monster attacks, the Chaos Treasury will appear in Chaos City. This Chaos Treasury automatically accumulates one gold coin per hour. With the 'Abundant Wealth' talent, it can accumulate two gold coins per hour, resulting in 48 gold coins per day! As long as you have gold coins to buy defensive towers, defending the city is very easy. Therefore, I recommend the 'Abundant Wealth' talent to players who feel unlucky or prefer to AFK."
"As far as I know, the Chaos Treasury can be upgraded in the future, which will increase the speed at which gold coins are accumulated, making the double gold coin effect of [Abundant Wealth] even more valuable."
The "Slate Master" talent allows the Chaos Lord to use the Chaos Energy of the Heart of Chaos to create Chaos Slate. Choosing this technology unlocks all technologies related to Chaos Slate assembly, movement, dismantling, and decomposition. Players who have chosen the Chaos Lord class will surely understand the importance of Chaos Slate, and the Chaos Slate assembly technology is a prerequisite for expanding Chaos City and building advanced defensive towers. Chaos Lords who enjoy free construction can choose this talent.
"The third talent, [Energy Awakening], is the one I plan to choose. Its effect is that each time the Heart of Chaos is upgraded, it increases the maximum Chaos Energy storage by 10%, and the automatic Chaos Energy regeneration rate of the Heart of Chaos increases from 1 point per hour to 2 points per hour. I can tell you all that Chaos Energy is very important. It is needed for the construction of advanced buildings, the upgrading of special defense towers, the activation of Chaos Technology, and so on. Of course, the effect of this talent will not be apparent in the early stages of the game, so I suggest that new players do not choose this talent."
"In addition, if you are not satisfied with any of the three city lord talents, the system also provides a random talent option. For just one hundred gold coins, you can get a random talent, which cannot be changed once selected. However, I advise everyone not to choose the random talent. In my experience, ninety percent of the randomly generated talents are garbage talents, far inferior to the previous three talents, not to mention costing one hundred gold coins. Of course, if you think you have good luck, you can give it a try."
"Alright, that's all for today's livestream. From now on, I'll be streaming every night at 8 PM. It won't be too long, and I'll be sharing my gaming tips and discoveries with you all. Thanks for your support..."
As the replay video ended, Li Hanqiang frowned, wondering which talent he should choose.
This was a problem that Li Hanyang found difficult to decide for the time being. However, he didn't dwell on it and casually browsed the live streaming platforms again.
"Endless World" is very popular, and there are many game streamers related to it. Of course, their skill levels vary. There are expert streamers, novices, acrobatic streamers, casual streamers, and silly streamers.
Li Hanqiang randomly entered a few live streams related to the Chaos City Lord profession and found a silly streamer whose game nickname was "Fat Tiger Doesn't Know How to Play".
He was unlucky; there was zero player support during the first wave of monster sieges.
The first wave of monster attacks should have easily secured a perfect defense, but this guy manually controlled the defensive arrow towers, wasting a lot of damage. As a result, he failed to kill the flying old black boar, and fifteen little black boars escaped. Chaos Heart lost 30 Chaos Energy in one fell swoop.
The second wave of monsters attacked the city, and a knight player joined. [Fat Tiger Has Absolutely No Skill], disliking the player's appearance, used his defensive arrow towers to kill him outright.
He was overjoyed, but then monsters proliferated, and the Heart of Chaos was destroyed by the giant black boar.
After failing to defend the city, [Fat Tiger Doesn't Know Anything] was immediately reduced to level 1, all his gold coins were deducted, and his only defensive arrow tower was forcibly destroyed. He cursed three times, complaining bitterly, and then abruptly ended his live stream.
Li Hanqiang guessed that this "Fat Tiger Has No Skills" would probably be persuaded to quit.
"Overall, my start has been pretty good. I spent a lot of time watching live streams, and now it's time to embark on my journey! Nothing else matters, just keep grinding!" Li Hanqiang realized that it was already 6 p.m. before he knew it. With a thought, he immediately chose to log into "Endless World".
With a sudden transition from darkness to light, Li Hanqiang arrived at Bibo Lake, where a series of system notifications immediately appeared.
