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

To give a simple example, in terms of the world's structure, the tower defense world and the abyss world where Yang Fei is located are actually on the same level. In that world where power is everything, the two succubi, who belong to the mid-level race, descended into this world in their prime, but so far they have not been able to adapt to the power system of this world and cannot sense the existence of true energy.

This is not due to the difference in the power systems of the two worlds, but rather the inability to adapt to the new environment when the power systems of the two worlds are basically the same. That's right, Mona had explained to Yang Fei that the Abyss World is the opposite of all worlds of order, and its power systems are actually diverse, including the cultivation system of this world.

Before coming here, the two of them had received knowledge from the cultivators in their clan. During the learning process, they were considered super geniuses and had reached the point where they could sense the existence of true energy. However, they did not choose this path in the end, but chose the simpler and more exaggerated abyss magic.

Even with such a foundation, the two succubus girls are still just mortals and need to readjust their state, feel the true energy of this world, and re-enter the "cultivation state".

The reason for doing this is simple: the true energy in the abyss, or rather, the higher-level spiritual energy, is still somewhat different from the true energy and spiritual energy of this world. Even super geniuses who come here cannot avoid such an adaptation process; it's just that with that foundation, cultivation is easier, and breaking through to higher realms is also easier.

So you see, even if the world's structure is consistent, the power system is corresponding, and even if both succubi are cultivation geniuses with cultivation experience, they still cannot sense true qi and cannot enter the Qi Sensing Realm.

So what gives those elves from an ordinary planet the confidence to make the bold statement, "After adapting to the new cultivation system, I will take revenge on that person," when they have never been exposed to the cultivation system?

It's important to understand that this world doesn't just have hierarchical suppression in its power system; this principle also applies to its organizational structure, as seen in figures like Yang Fei, a lord from the Azure Star.

The small world belonging to Canlan Star is only an auxiliary small world in front of the "Tower Defense World". To Yang Fei and others, the Tower Defense World is similar to the large world after the ascension of cultivators from Canlan Star.

In the Tower Defense world, people can freely enter from its subordinate smaller worlds, but when facing a world of the same level like the Abyss world, the two adopt a method of exchanging benefits.

For every person summoned from the Abyss World to obey the commands of this world, the world itself must contribute sufficient resources and send those resources into the resource-scarce Abyss World. The two are evenly matched.

The reason for this is that they are consistent in terms of strength and the fundamental laws governing the world. Neither can do anything to the other, and they have reason to be wary of each other, so they can only adopt this approach.

Therefore, in principle, geniuses from the Abyss World are also geniuses from this world, because the laws governing the world are the same, so there is naturally not much difference between the two. This is like two people being able to tie in an arm wrestling match; without considering any external conditions, their strength should be about the same.

The "world-building system" simply amplifies this process. A genius is a genius in one world, and naturally, a genius in another. This is somewhat similar to taking an exam in a city of similar standing; the final exam results should be roughly the same.

So, if these elves from small worlds, those little geniuses from rural towns, were to arrive in a metropolis with a population of hundreds of millions, in a tower defense world, would they still be geniuses?

If this were truly an exam, then there's a slight possibility, considering the objective factor of the person themselves.

Unfortunately, examples are just examples. The world's structure is static. If a genius from a small world "ascends" into a large world like a tower defense world, he is nothing to the geniuses in the tower defense world.

"I told them about your great deeds, including those advanced abyss defense towers. It shouldn't be difficult for us to deal with that cultivator. In return, their entire clan will worship you as their savior and be loyal to you for generations to come!" Mona took a bite of rice porridge, fed Yang Fei another bite, and continued to speak slowly.

"Pfft! It's not difficult for us to deal with him, but there's a prerequisite: we have to find that cultivator, he has to come to our world, and he has to attack my sky island. Only then can I use the defense tower to take him down."

Yang Fei chewed the rice porridge in his mouth, and after realizing that it had been chewed, he swallowed it directly. Then, he adjusted to a more comfortable position in Mona's arms before continuing to speak.

"Furthermore, I don't think we can find that monk, and even if we do, we can't get him to attack. Do you think those elves can accomplish all that? Let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not going to provoke someone like that, even if I could kill him, I don't want to."

Yang Fei directly stated his principle of life: I will not offend others unless they offend me. Although it was despicable that the cultivator turned the elves into slaves, Yang Fei considered it merely despicable and had no intention of upholding justice.

Although he was a saint, he knew very well that this was the law of the world. Today he would take revenge on this cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, tomorrow he would kill some great mage, and then he would destroy some slave empire. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

He has a heart of justice and a heart of sainthood, but most importantly, he has the ability to clearly recognize the "heart of the world" that salvation is impossible, and he is powerless to change anything, nor is he too lazy to change anything, because even if he changes, thousands or tens of thousands of years later, "the winds and clouds will rise again" and then will he still need to change anything?

Therefore, Yang Fei only does what he can do. There are still two trillion people on his home planet waiting for him to save them. He also needs to help the Qianwu Star people, who are of the same human race as him, depending on the situation. As for the elves of other races, he will definitely talk about them after these two things are done.

Hometown sentiment and racial sentiment both serve as moral high ground to restrain Yang Fei, so what reason would the elves, who belong neither to their hometown nor to their own race, have to help him?

Because you're beautiful fairies? Don't make your brother Yang laugh!

If Yang Fei had never seen a succubus before, he might have thought about it, but ever since he met Mona, his concept of beauty has become fixed. No human is more beautiful than his succubus. Similarly, no elf is any different from a human beauty to him.

"So, their primary goal is to rebuild their civilization, then adapt to the cultivation system of this world, and then take revenge on that cultivator. As for how long the first two processes will last, we can't help you with that~" Mona fed Yang Fei another spoonful of rice porridge and said slowly to Yang Fei with a sly smile.

"Oh?" Upon hearing Mona's words, Yang Fei immediately realized that he had fallen into a mental trap, judging the process based on the final result and assuming that they could quickly fulfill the preconditions and take revenge on that cultivator.

In fact, since the limiting conditions of this premise exist objectively, it's just that we ignore them, or assume that this premise doesn't exist, and then directly think about the possible final results after they are completed.

Since the prerequisites for achieving the desired result are too stringent, Yang Fei should not directly consider how these elves should take revenge on that cultivator. Instead, he should first consider how they can revive their civilization and adapt to the new cultivation system. Only after these prerequisites are met should he consider how to take revenge on that cultivator.

The objective problems are real, and he himself has emphasized the difficulty of these problems, but he subconsciously ignored them. Yang Fei shook his head. It seems that his continuous work has indeed affected his judgment. It looks like rotating shifts must be put on the agenda.

"My lord, before that, we can enjoy their final promise to us, which is to pledge allegiance to you and let them serve as archers on the arrow tower." Mona placed her small hand on Yang Fei's head and tucked it into her bosom again.

"They are elves, skilled archers, including those ballistae on the arrow towers. As long as we exchange enough charging stones through the Abyss Shop, the siege by millions of monsters will be even easier."

"I see. Are they alright in their current state?" Yang Fei couldn't break free from Mona's large hand and could only helplessly submit. Then another question popped into his mind: "Do those guys still have the will to be strong?"

"What do you think? They've chosen this path, so they must be prepared. You can first arrange for them to become troops in the territory. That way, even if some of them still have fear, they will have to obey your orders to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. And killing can stimulate their fighting spirit. Over time, they will naturally regain their sense of strength."

"At the very least, arranging for those elves who don't want to become stronger to become farmers on your sky island would be a good thing. They are the darlings of nature. Don't you still have the blueprints for spirit fields? These elves would be the best choice to help you farm."

Mona slowly explained her interactions with the elves to Yang Fei, who listened attentively. It has to be said that Mona and Yang Fei were on the same page; this was Yang Fei's initial plan. However, because the elves were still injured and their loyalty had not increased, it had not been put into practice.

Now, the elves Mona's persuasion has made them extremely loyal to her, relieving her of the most important worry. In addition, if she only uses arrow towers and does not participate as ground combat force, those lightly injured elves can handle the job perfectly well.

After all, if those human wounded soldiers can do it, then they certainly can too. They can also gain experience by killing monsters, even if they can't absorb it, they can still save some of their own True Qi Rice to help them recuperate and speed up their recovery.

Thinking of this, Yang Fei couldn't help but slap his forehead, regretting that he hadn't thought things through. He had been thinking of using their combat power as ground troops, but subconsciously ignored the fact that they were elves and that archery was their forte. Why did he keep wanting them to participate in ground battles?

Since their cultivation bodies haven't been modified yet, they can only exert about one-tenth of their strength. Arrow towers, which don't have many requirements and are suitable for them, are the place they should go. This way, they can change their cultivation system while strengthening themselves. This won't affect their future patrols of the sky islands or their search for supplies on Qianwu Star!

As for farming, that's even simpler. It's just that I didn't want them to work before because I wanted to increase their loyalty. If I wanted them to work, I had to improve their injuries and illnesses. Now that the loyalty issue is resolved, the remaining problems are relatively simple.

Yang Fei realized that he had been thinking too far ahead and had overlooked the accumulation of experience over time. He had not realized this until now. He realized that the large amount of gold coins he received from the golden gift pack had indeed had some impact on him, and he had become arrogant.

"Always wanting to succeed in one step and reach the end of one's plan" is a disease that needs to be cured! Fortunately, I've realized this now, so I need to be more careful with all my future decisions.

"Do those elves have any other requests? Or did you make any promises to them?" After calming down, Yang Fei thought of another question: why would those elves raise their loyalty to him to the point of being absolutely devoted?

Yang Fei didn't believe that Mona would unconditionally trust him and become his die-hard fan just because he could help them get revenge. He believed that everything had to be based on principles.

"As expected of a wise lord, I promise to help them find more of their people to rebuild their civilization. This request is probably nothing to you." Mona looked down through the mountain crevice at Yang Fei's eyes, who were scrutinizing her.

Good heavens! Yang Fei exclaimed, "Good heavens!" If it had been the succubus girl making such a promise before, he probably would have taught her a lesson. After all, she made the decision for him without his permission, which was a real challenge to his authority as a lord.

But now that the true purpose of the spirits has been clarified, and these spirits are all loyal to him without any worries, coupled with a god-level building like the Abyss Shop that can supply unlimited energy slabs, the role of the spirits has been amplified, and naturally, obtaining more spirits has been put on the agenda.

"This is a one-time exception." Although Yang Fei applauded Mona in his heart, he still had to maintain appearances. After all, as a lord, he needed to emphasize to his subjects: "What decisions can be made for you, and what decisions cannot be made for you."

Even if you are someone the lord trusts, the first thing you should do is not to draw conclusions based on the feeling that "the lord should agree," but to consider the specific needs of the Sky Island at this stage, and then decide whether or not to do it based on the situation.
