All-out Tower Defense: My Card-Drawing Talent is a Bit Strange

These semi-finished magical artifacts possess a trace of innate intelligence compared to normally crafted artifacts. They can be directly nurtured by the magical power of cultivators at the Core Formation stage, gradually transforming them into spiritual artifacts, making them a rare type of equipment.

Unfortunately, the same problem persists: Yang Fei still cannot enter this secret realm. Even if he does enter, he cannot defeat the monsters inside. Just like the resource secret realm of Emotional Grain, building it is pointless; he can only put it away.

The downside of getting the golden gift pack too early is that although it seems to have a lot of variety, there are actually very few usable items. Even the defensive towers, which have some intelligence, can be used, but they are only meant to be used as a trump card and cannot directly help Yang Fei defend against the monster siege at this stage.

This is quite difficult. You clearly know that this is a gold mine, but you don't have the tools to mine it. All you have are your two soft, white hands that have never done heavy work before, and you can't dig it up even if you want to.

Yang Fei simply ignored the final core stone and the level stone. Even though they were both of rare or higher quality, ultimately one expanded the area and the other expanded the number of sky island layers, which were not things Yang Fei could consider at the moment.

Although he had a large amount of gold coins, which would have allowed him to quickly set up defensive towers to guard the area around the Sky Island, Yang Fei had no interest in trying. Firstly, he didn't want to give money away to the Heavenly Dao Shop, and secondly, the Sky Island's defensive capabilities were already somewhat excessive.

The blue gate is only so big, and the monster spawn rate is also so-so. Wild monsters won't appear now, and the area that needs to be guarded is only so big. There's no point in dealing more damage. The key is to continuously replenish the defensive towers with each wave of attack and gradually accumulate experience.

Furthermore, he needs to see how many martial arts realm slaves the slave traders can sell him before deciding how much area to expand. The sky island can't be guarded by defense towers alone, since he can't keep an eye on it the whole time. Having appropriate patrol teams can also complement the defense towers.

Even without expanding the area, if you only use tiered stones to expand the sky island's levels, the second-level sky island cannot be directly attacked. You have to wait until the first level is captured before you can attack the second level. Yang Fei doesn't want to do that. The more crucial issue is still the previous problem: without transportation, you can't play around with even a large area.

Unless you have absolute confidence that you can hold onto the first floor and turn the expanded floors into your own backyard.

The scalable layers themselves will bring about changes in the strength of monster attacks, which will require stronger defensive forces. This brings us back to the previous problem: the defense of our own sky island is already strong enough, but if the monster respawn rate is not keeping up and there are too many of them, it may affect the number of monster siege waves we can pass.

At this stage, completing the 10 waves of monster sieges in the novice assessment is still the most important thing. If my estimation is correct, this wave of the 10x extreme mode will really face a million-level monster siege. If we have to defend for more than a day, then the time for the next few waves is somewhat unpredictable.

Expanding the level is fine, and it might even be a good thing for someone like Yang Fei who can quickly expand his combat power. However, if he cannot pass the novice assessment within the remaining time, then it will all be in vain.

After checking all the items in the golden gift pack, Yang Fei looked at the time. It was already 9 PM. The defense towers had almost fully replenished their energy, and he could start the next wave of monster attacks.

Yang Fei didn't hesitate. Since everyone was on the city wall and hadn't returned to their own little nests, he might as well start it directly. After completing this wave, he would probably start the daily challenge. Although he hadn't completed the extreme difficulty, it was still much better than the second wave of 10x extreme difficulty that he had previously expected.

"Understood, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1, the third wave of your Novice Trial, a difficult monster siege, will begin in ten minutes. Monster type: Slime, Monster level: Beast, Level 0, Monster quantity: 59512."

"Please adjust the position of the War Slab... The movement and reconstruction functions will be restarted after the siege ends."

"As expected." Looking at the number of monsters on the blue door, Yang Fei completely gave up on challenging the extreme difficulty today. He still had the two succubus girls lead the team, and after everyone participated in the defense according to the previous strategy, Yang Fei took out the basic rewards he had obtained from the normal difficulty.

"Public Toilet Construction Card: Basic building. Allows you to build a public toilet on the Sky Island that can accommodate 10 people at the same time. You can hire workers to clean it yourself, or you can spend 1 copper coin to clean the toilet completely."

Public toilets: public buildings, farmland auxiliary buildings, can be used in conjunction with related buildings such as chemical separation ponds and biogas digesters to produce organic fertilizer, serving the farmland and providing sufficient raw materials for crop growth.

Public Toilet (Upgradeable): Costing 100 stone and 50 copper coins, it can be upgraded to level 2, accommodating up to 20 residents simultaneously. It will also have a larger footprint and increased capacity.

"Note that this is a basic building and does not currently have a color quality, but its upgrade limit can be increased as the core building is upgraded. Once the corresponding level is reached, its quality can be improved accordingly."

[Author's friendly reminder]: Please do not eat or drink while reading the following paragraph to avoid causing trouble. I am about to write some realistic descriptions, the content of which is a bit grotesque but not important, so you can skip it.

The public toilet looked somewhat like the kind of rural primary school toilets that Yang Fei had seen on TV, except that the men's and women's toilets were separated to the left and right, with no separate cubicles or personal space. It wasn't a toilet or a separate pit; it would be more accurate to call it a tunnel.

Looking at the public toilet construction card in his hand, Yang Fei smiled. Because Azure Star was built with high-rise buildings to support more people, Yang Fei had only ever seen this kind of toilet on TV.

Those filming TV shows probably took their scenes from the lord's place. Yang Fei was somewhat curious about things he had never encountered before, but that was all. After all, he had a separate toilet in his cabin, and Yang Fei preferred things that were his own.

Yang Fei put the card away for the time being, planning to build it after this wave of monster siege was over. There was no way to build it now, so Yang Fei then turned his attention to the loot from the normal difficulty.

There was no way around it; the golden gift pack was too tempting, and I'd completely forgotten about dealing with these "insignificant" gains. But it's not too late to remember now. I'll take this opportunity to organize them and see how many silver coins I have so I can prepare to summon the slave trader.

On Normal difficulty, I collected a total of 3 white treasure chests, 21 gray treasure chests, 20 gray revival treasure chests, 12 gray ice arrow tower cards, 19 gray arrow tower cards, 67 gray crystals, 31 silver coins, 13334 copper coins, and 5121 bio rubber.
