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

"Fifty in one go? Then I can get thirty souls in one go! That's good, much better than I expected." Sephira's words were within Yang Fei's expectations. As long as he was sure that the Abyss Shop could store souls, he didn't ask for anything else.

In Yang Fei's plan, this building could actually be considered a money-making building with the ability to independently develop new products, not for him to purchase these basic materials. Using it to buy materials now is a last resort.

Since the trade hasn't started and the merchant has contacted them to make up for it, there's really no way to realize the true value of the Abyss Shop. Plus, I'm currently in dire need of these basic materials, so I can only use it as is for now.

Moreover, the Abyss Shop's level is too low and needs to be upgraded to green or even blue to realize its value. Beast-level souls can only produce gray and white items, and I can't customize too many rare items. I can only focus on the development of Sky Island itself for the time being.

As for collecting a large number of souls, that can wait until Sephira grows up, or until you can purchase an item that can collect souls. It's not too late to start making specific plans once you have ferocious beast-level souls or even magical beast-level souls. Right now, we can only solve the immediate problem.

Secondly, the Abyss Shop offers lower prices for these basic materials compared to the Heavenly Dao Shop, especially considering the current situation on my Sky Island, where a single monster siege can easily involve tens of thousands of monsters, providing abundant experience from killing them.

Perhaps I don't need to pay the price of 20 souls to exchange all 50 souls for the resources I need. Although it still can't compare to the Heavenly Dao Shop with unlimited resources, the amount I can exchange is enough for me now.

After dealing with the Abyss Shop, Yang Fei, along with Sephira and the two newly appeared tentacle jellyfish, arrived at the city wall. Seeing that the elves in the distance were still cooking, Yang Fei had no choice but to leave them behind for the time being. He couldn't just stay there and wait; he had to start the next wave of monster attacks.

Lola is still training, so Yang Fei has Mona and Sephira each occupy a gray arrow tower and two green charging slabs. Mona will mainly be responsible for the mimics this time, while Sephira will be the main force in killing the Ice Slime.

Yang Fei needed to see how this tentacle monster, who claimed to be proficient in all defensive towers, would perform. If she was as strong as she said, then he could have an easier time in the upcoming million-level monster siege defense battle.

But if she couldn't do it, Mona could fill in in time. Given the precedent of those two demons who recommended themselves, Yang Fei really didn't believe what these demons were saying.

Because they really do boast, even if their loyalty to themselves is at its maximum, they can't avoid this tendency to show off and flaunt their achievements.

Yang Fei used the gray ice arrow tower to occupy a white charging stone slab. The difficulty of the next wave of monster sieges was acceptable, and it also allowed Yang Fei to make some minor mistakes. So this time, while Yang Fei was in charge of the overall situation, he could also gain some experience. Why not?

The remaining two green charged stone slabs were occupied by Li Han and his duo, and Yue Lingling, each of which was also a gray arrow tower.

After these few defensive maneuvers, Yang Fei noticed that Li Han and his duo were working together much better. Not only had their kill efficiency improved, but they were also almost able to hit a slime with a single arrow. Their killing ability was far superior to his two boastful lesser demons.

As for Yue Lingling, she is even more remarkable. Yang Fei's original intention in training her was to use her as an intermediary between himself and Qianwu Star. He did not expect that this little girl would learn things so quickly. When she first took over the ballista on the arrow tower, her hit rate was only one percent, but now it is one-tenth.

Although still quite inexperienced, it was much better than when Yang Fei was learning the ballista. Yang Fei took a full week to improve his accuracy from one percent to one-tenth. Although there was some lack of practice, his progress was indeed faster than Yang Fei's overall.

Next are the three lesser demons on the fire towers. Now that he has three white-quality fire towers, Yang Fei will bring out the arrogant lesser demon that was previously in the slow tower and have it and its brother follow Yu Yi's command to form a fire tower group.

This is also an experiment for Yang Fei to develop a specific plan for the defense of his Sky Island. He has a limited number of high-level commanders, and it would take an unknown amount of time to cultivate someone who can rival Mona and Lola.

Therefore, Yang Fei had an idea: to assign specific defensive towers to squad leaders who were skilled in those towers, so that even if orders from higher command were not delivered in a timely manner, squad members could follow the orders of their squad leaders.

The squad leader also needs to keep his team members calm and maximize their killing efficiency, while also calmly facing any sudden unknown situations so that his subordinates can continue to defend the city when there are no orders from superiors.

These three lesser demons who first followed him, and who are currently the only demons who have left a relatively deep impression on Yang Fei, naturally became the subjects of this experiment. Yang Fei's initial requirements for them were not too many—that they could ensure smooth communication between the squad leader and his subordinates, distinguish between primary and secondary tasks at critical moments, and understand the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

As for dealing with emergencies, Yang Fei didn't expect Youyi to be able to issue orders in time. He would implement it first, observe the specific effects, and then gradually relax its restrictions.

As for the remaining 47 inferior demons, Yang Fei had them all climb onto the arrow towers this time. Since there were already 11 tentacle jellyfish, their combined firepower with the defensive towers was basically enough to intercept ground attacks. They were just there to gain experience and see if they could become warrior-level citizens.

With enough core stones, the Sky Island will definitely expand significantly in the future. Therefore, the ground forces of the Sky Island cannot be ignored, and we must start planning now to prepare for the future.

At the same time, some advanced buildings require people with corresponding cultivation levels to use and enter. It is quite troublesome to cultivate a high-level cultivator from scratch, especially a cultivator with little combat power but professional skills.

Yang Fei now lets these guys climb the automatically attacking arrow towers to steadily gain experience. He hopes they can use this to gain a lot of experience, give birth to one or more martial artists, and then cultivate martial artist-level farmers, lumberjacks, quarry workers, etc., to supply the needs of advanced buildings in the future.

As for the original Slow Tower, it is now controlled by a newly joined refugee from another world. This young pregnant woman named Xu Feifei was the first to voluntarily join Yang Fei's territory, and her loyalty is not the base 60, but already 70. Naturally, Yang Fei will give her some preferential treatment.
