Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 299 The apple is rotten
"Is it really that scary..."

Cheng Shen blushed.

Rhine laughed, "Of course I also heard gossip about Adeline's private life, but the fact that she disappeared is indeed true. If you can find her, it will be a great achievement."

"achievement?"

Cheng Shen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The Church of the Holy Spirit is in charge of everything in the city of Saint Laurent, and Saint Adeline is also a member of the most powerful Archbishop Florey. Those big men can give you and me no worries for the rest of our lives... ..."

Rhine said.

The prop in his hand suddenly trembled, and Rhine picked it up and put it next to his ear, listening to some kind of sound coming from inside.

Then he beamed.

"The superiors agreed!"

"What did you say?"

Cheng Shen lifted his spirits, this deal will be related to whether his territory can survive this cold winter smoothly.

"450 for adult monsters, 600 for magic pet cubs, and the units are Jindier! The purchase price of the legion is much higher than the price I personally gave, but there is also a condition above, you can only do business with us in the future!"

Rhine stared straight.

"This will bring me a stable and substantial income, and I have no reason to refuse."

Cheng Shen smiled.

At this moment, he has quickly calculated in his mind that an adult Thunder Beast can be sold for 450, and [-] would be...

63 million gold!

In addition, two hundred Thunder Beast cubs can bring him an income of 12 gold coins!

Add up to 75 gold!

After that, as long as he recruits the Thunder Beast Lair's daily recruitment quota, it will bring him a daily income of [-].In at most one month, he can be promoted from a million-dollar household to a millionaire in one fell swoop!

"……call."

Cheng Shen let out a soft breath.

Rao was already prepared, but he was still shocked by this number.Such sudden wealth made him feel a little unreal...

"When do we trade?"

Cheng Shen asked.

"As long as I have checked that the status of each Warcraft meets the standard, the transaction can be carried out at any time."

Rhine excitedly said.

"no problem."

Cheng Shen nodded.

He wasn't worried about the physical condition of these Thunder Beasts, because with the original management style of the castle, those Thunder Beasts who were weak and sick and unable to fight had probably already undergone a physical rebuild.

These more than 1000 ultralisks are all extremely healthy, but the problem still lies in how to domesticate them.

But that's what Rhine and the forces behind him have to worry about.

Since they can make a decision, it must not be difficult for them.

Rhine is more concerned about this deal than Cheng Shen.

As a businessman, he rarely took any profit from this transaction.

Because he is also a smart man.

With this deal, he can get something more precious than pure wealth. If unnecessary changes are caused by temporary greed, the loss to him will be much more serious than the little money he was greedy for!

"Let's get started!"

Rhine wiped the sweat off his cheeks and said impatiently.

"Okay." Cheng Shen said, "I can summon all the Thunder Beasts here, but how do you take them away at once?"

"I have my own way."

Rhine laughed.

Cheng Shen nodded and stopped asking.

Immediately, he issued an order to summon all the Thunder Beasts, and Rhine took out his previous pure white orb again, and accompanied by a low voice, a soft white passageway opened slowly.

"Teleportation item?"

Cheng Shen immediately understood what Rhine was talking about. The pure white orb in his hand was a formation tool similar to the Snake of Words.

What is portrayed in it is the teleportation formation.

For such a prop, the consumption of using it is by no means lower than that of the Snake of Words.

Moreover, the limitation of the teleportation array is that the farther the distance is, the more people use it, and the greater the consumption.

He had spent a hundred gold coins in meeting the five magic instructors before.

If Rhine wanted to transport all the more than 1000 Thunder Beasts away through the teleportation array, the loss alone would cost tens of thousands of gold coins!Although it was not Cheng Shen's money, he still felt a pain in his flesh.

"This space orb is the most precious thing in me. Although it is very ordinary, its value is almost equal to my entire net worth."

Rhine noticed Cheng Shen's eyes and couldn't help showing off.

His inadvertent words moved Cheng Shen's heart.

"Can I take a look?"

He said.

"...I can only hold it in my hand for you to see, Lord Orange, don't blame me for being narrow-minded, this thing is as important as my life."

Rhine smiled lightly.

"It's okay, I'm just curious."

Cheng Shen said that he didn't approach it, but just pretended to observe it from a distance of several meters. In fact, Cheng Shen had already clearly and thoroughly analyzed the internal structure of this orb through his innate ability.

"It is indeed just a second-order teleportation circle..."

His eyes flickered slightly.

It is not difficult for Cheng Shen to know from Rhine's words that even in the city of Saint Laurent, this space orb is regarded as a treasure by his status.

If we talk about the complexity of the craftsmanship of this prop.

It's really difficult.

It would take a lot of time for a skilled formation master just to describe a second-order magic formation.

And to make it into a formation prop requires extremely high skills.

Such a prop, from the cost of materials, to the loss of labor and time.

I am afraid tens of thousands of gold is far from enough...

However, that is for other array mages.

Cheng Shen's ability to reproduce a temporary teleportation formation within ten minutes meant that as long as he prepared sufficient materials, he could also make a similar formation in a very short period of time!

In the past, the main thing that restricted him was the material.

Even if Cheng Shen fought a faction battle and looted more than 1 energy spars, it was not enough to look at in front of a bottomless pit like the magic circle.

But now.

A bright business opportunity with a bright future ahead is placed in front of him!
"This thing must be very rare."

Cheng Shen asked tentatively.

"It's not too rare... Dozens can still be found in the entire city of Saint Laurent."

Rhine made no effort to hide his pride.

"Oh……"

Cheng Shen's thoughts turned.

Of course he wouldn't just say that he could do such a stupid thing.

When he sold the Thunder Beasts, he didn't take it seriously at first. After learning about their value, Cheng Shen realized that he had taken a big adventure.

As the saying goes.

Every man is innocent of his guilt.

Especially a unit like him that is already at an absolute disadvantage in the trade between the two sides.

The interests of Thunder Beast did not cause Rhine to be jealous, even if he burned high incense, he was lucky.

If he proposes another trade that is equally eye-catching, it is difficult to guarantee whether this guy who keeps saying that he is a good man will directly bring troops to his territory under the banner of protecting him...

Pretend to mention it, laying the groundwork for future transactions?

I thought about it.

Cheng Shen dismissed the idea anyway.

In the face of this kind of old fox, there is no point in putting on a show, it is tantamount to telling the whole story about oneself.

Let's wait until we have the opportunity to go to Saint Laurent City in person before finding a way...

Cheng Shen's mind was settled. Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, the income brought by this deal is enough for him to develop for a long time.

"I don't need gold coins for all the income from this transaction. I want to exchange some of them directly for food, cotton clothes and other items."

Cheng Shen turned and said.

"Of course." Rhine said unsurprisingly. At this time, his smile returned to the original appearance of a profiteer, "I can help you turn around, but the cost of transporting these materials..."

"Your compensation is deducted directly from the transaction."

Cheng Shen said simply.

"Okay." Rhine's eyes narrowed into slits, and he habitually twirled a strand of his beard, "Give me a list of the items you need, and I'll help you arrange them by the way, and save an extra sum of money." Delivery fee."

"can."

Cheng Shen nodded, and a big stone fell to his heart at the same time. Since he took over the goblin tribe, he has clearly noticed that the food loss in the territory has doubled, and whether he can survive the winter is a problem.

When the weather is cold, the fields will not be able to be planted. At that time, they can only rely on the reserves purchased now.

But other survivors have also sensed the changing seasons.

Start hoarding food.

The speed at which he has been buying grain these days is not as happy as when everyone was desperately farming in exchange for economic exchange.

of course.

The more important demand is items to keep out the cold.

With something to keep out the cold, it can ensure that the territory can operate in winter and will not fall into a long period of development stagnation. This is self-evident for the survivors who are racing against time to develop.

In addition, this money can also be exchanged for a large amount of basic construction materials, industrial production raw materials, and even scarce architectural drawings and precious treasures.

Let the development of the territory directly enter the leap period!
The benefits brought to Cheng Shen by this transaction can no longer be measured with pure data!
He immediately made a list of the items he needed.

Among them, Cheng Shen decisively bought 200 million units of food alone, which can feed 3000 people for a whole year!
He didn't know how long the dark winter in the Forest of Darkness would last, but Tucan said that the heavy snow on their side would last three months, and it would take one month to wait for the ice and snow to melt, and the impact would last for more than five months. .

It is not too much for Cheng Shen to prepare twice as much.

after all.

He is also a person who engraves the word "steadiness" in his bones.

There are [-] sets of cotton clothes, and the more props to keep out the cold, such as warm stones and hot stickers, the better.

This thing will definitely not worry about selling among the survivors in winter.

Too much can't be used.

It is also a hot commodity to take out and sell.

It's just that it's unclear whether other survivors will encounter similar trade caravans, or have made corresponding preparations, so Cheng Shen doesn't consider the behavior of hoarding goods and waiting to become a second-hand trafficker in winter for the time being.

It is true that selling such basic materials can make money, but generally large transactions are required to bring in more significant income.

and.

To hoard supplies means to put a lot of money in your hands.

But now Cheng Shen can invest this money in other constructions in exchange for higher returns.

So there's no need to do it at all.

"I don't need it..." Cheng Shen's eyes flashed thoughtful, "If I don't earn this money, I will let others earn it after all. In this case, it's better to take advantage of my own people."

When he thought of this, he immediately sent a message to Zhang Yao.

In less than a moment.

The message from the other party is sent.

"Woooooo! Brother Leg, you finally think of me! I almost thought you forgot about me!"

Zhang Yao immediately sent a crying complaint.

"Uh……"

Cheng Shen thought about it for a while, and it seemed that it was only a few days, and the second camp battle hadn't even started yet.However, considering that Zhang Yao lived like a year in that terrifying castle, his feelings don't seem to be difficult to understand.

He hasn't spoken yet.

Zhang Yao went on to say: "Brother Legs! Tenant No. [-] has returned from a stroll outside! I saw the apple in his hand, half of which has been rotten, but now that it's back in the room, I can't observe it!"

"hiss……"

Cheng Shen's heart trembled when he heard the words, he grinned, took a breath of cool air slowly, and frowned accordingly.

The accidental trigger of the Hate Brood before made the deep sea curse in his body fall into a deep sleep. In addition, he has been facing the oppression of the old city and successive battles in the past few days, so Cheng Shen subconsciously ignored his situation.

The strange curse he suffered was not only the curse of the deep sea!
Cheng Shen immediately glanced at the time and compared it with the information provided by Zhang Yao.

It has been more than half a month since he confronted tenant No. [-].

Zhang Yao said that the apple is only half rotten.

But this does not mean that he can maintain his stability for such a long time.

Anyone with life experience knows that a lot of food can be stored for a long time when it is intact, but once there are signs of partial spoilage, the storage period will be shortened extremely quickly, and it will completely rot in a very short period of time.

The curse of the apple is the interference of external factors, and it is not affected by the brood of hatred.

His time is running out.

"Wish puppet..."

The situation about this cursed object flashed through Cheng Shen's mind. Its effect alone, to be honest, was not impossible to compete with his own ability.

It's just an enhanced version of the Book of Curses.

but.

It is now tied to tenant five.

Once the curse is triggered, it will definitely attract tenant No. [-], and if the restriction between the two is lifted because of him...

That was really a crime.

Tenant No. [-], who has completely let go of the restrictions, can spread the curse directly through the way of thinking, and no one will be left alive in the area where it appears!It is a terrifying thing that was given the highest evaluation by a king!
"Brother leg... what should I do?"

Zhang Yao asked in a panic.

"Don't panic."

Cheng Shen said calmly.

"How about I just grab that apple back and see if I can break the curse!"

Zhang Yao said.

"No." Cheng Shen flatly denied, "Doing so will most likely directly trigger the curse to take effect."

His thoughts turned quickly, recalling the two diaries left by the Black King. The information recorded in them did not mention how he used the wish puppet to limit the main channel of the curse of tenant No. [-].

But with Cheng Shen's current knowledge, it is not difficult to deduce some truth.

"To invalidate a strange curse, there are only two possible ways...

One is to suppress it.

But this is obviously not in line with the situation shown by tenant No. [-].

Furthermore.

Just keep it in effect..."

Cheng Shen thought clearly.

Weird attacks are fatal, but a powerful professional like him already has many means of defense in the face of some low-level weirdness.

There is a high probability of surviving.

but.

The use of the Book of Curses had proven to him.

Once the strangeness is triggered, no matter the target dies or survives through other means.

The raid will end after this trigger ends.

For example, the devil, even though he did not die, the book of curses returned to him, and it did not affect the next use.

Therefore, the necessary condition for the weirdness to always take effect is to be satisfied.

The target being attacked can neither die nor use other means to evade.

You must always withstand the weird erosion!

Ordinary people who can do it?

Not even God!
But there is an existence in this world that can meet this condition.

That's another weird one!
The Black King must have used the wish doll, a cursed object, to trigger the curse of tenant No. [-]!But because the wish doll's level is not as good as that of tenant No. [-], it can only seal one of its three transmission routes.

And so,
A wonderful balance and restriction effect is formed between the two!

The curse of the wish doll is eroding the fifth tenant, and the curse of the fifth tenant is also eroding the wish doll, but because both are weird and will not be affected by the other party's attack, they can remain stalemate.

But now,
This balance is about to be broken by him...

Once he makes the wish doll's curse take effect, the constraints of the two will be unbalanced.

Even if it is only for a short moment, tenant No. [-] will immediately lose control!

"hiss……"

After trying to understand everything, Cheng Shen has even more headaches!
