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

Chapter 154 Unit Summoning Cards

From now on, the basic daily allowance of 60 catties of white rice will be cancelled, and the distribution principle of the supplies obtained by the zombie attraction team will change from the original one-half distribution principle to the one-sixth distribution principle. Yang Fei can only exchange the corresponding amount of white rice for these people.

Although the supplies were much less than half of what they used to be, those were shared by everyone in the entire refugee camp. Now, those who had joined his ranks were being provided with protection by him personally. Those who were not loyal to him and had lost their value for cultivation would naturally not receive the protection they deserved.

These things were quite troublesome to handle. Yang Fei even went back to the city wall halfway through to wait for the 2x extreme mode to end and collect all the dropped items. Then, after the 5x extreme mode was activated, he rushed back to continue filtering.

Because there were too many people to screen, and Yang Fei didn't want to be sloppy, by the time the 5x limit ended, which was around 10 p.m., Yang Fei had only managed to sort out a basic personnel framework. He had first screened out the key members, especially the secondary workers, and the rest would need to be dealt with by him the next day.

Don't even mention 10 PM; actually, Yang Fei had already given up by 5 PM. He was truly too exhausted to continue and had been pushing himself to the limit until the five-times-maximum treasure chest monster appeared, finally freeing him up.

Exhausted, Yang Fei no longer cared about his lordly image and plopped down on the city wall. With the help of the succubus sisters, he began to take stock of the 2x and 5x maximum rewards.

The basic rewards are the same as those for both hard and normal difficulty: rare house blueprints and rare spirit field blueprints. Because they are of rare quality, they do not require workers, so Yang Fei directly spent the corresponding resources to use them, expanding his sky island by 10 more wooden houses and 10 more spirit fields.

Yang Fei had previously promised the regular construction team that once they completed the construction of 100 houses, he would let them rest.

News: This morning, the construction team has completed its work objectives.

After adjusting the ratio of the construction team from 95 lesser demons to 5 humans to 55 lesser demon builders, 5 human builders, and 40 human builder apprentices, today is their last day of rest.

Before the 10x limit arrives, Yang Fei will definitely open a bunch of treasure chests, and he'll surely get a lot of blueprints, especially since he's accumulated quite a few blueprints for houses and spirit fields. So they'll be busy from now on.

Speaking of treasure chests, let's take stock of the treasure chests we got from these two waves, which included a total of 320 white treasure chests, 970 gray treasure chests, 660 white revival treasure chests, and 2200 gray revival treasure chests.

With the Elegy Tower, these mimics really become easy targets, essentially just giving away resources, especially the 5th one.

At the limit, more than two thousand treasure chest monsters appeared.

Unlike the previous battle against three thousand, which was extremely difficult, this wave of defense was incredibly easy. The 30 Song Towers launched fewer than twenty attacks in total, and all the Mimics were hit and appeared. The Mimics, with their absurd mechanics, were easily slaughtered by themselves, leaving them in a very sorry state!

Then there are the loot drops from these two waves, totaling: "360 Gray Ice Arrow Tower Cards, 701 Gray Arrow Tower Cards, 5021 Gray Crystals, 201999 Bio Rubber, 9902 Wood, 10651 White Rice Seeds, 410 Silver Coins, and 520112 Copper Coins."

After dealing with these gains, it was already 10:30 pm. Yang Fei started the daily challenge and finally took a break during the challenge time.

That day, Yang Fei was so busy he was practically dizzy. If it weren't for his Martial Artist level body, he would have collapsed long ago.

"Congratulations, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1! You have perfectly cleared the Daily Challenge. The basic reward is for clearing the fourth wave of the Novice Assessment on Extreme Difficulty. The basic rewards you received are: 72 jin of True Qi Rice, 720 jin of White Rice, 720 Copper Coins, 720 True Qi Rice Seeds, and 72..."

One gray crystal, 72 gray magic cores.

"It has been detected that you have completed the Doubled Limit Mode 15 times. Your base reward has now been increased by 75%. Your final reward is: 126 jin of True Qi Rice, 1260 jin of White Rice, 1260 Copper Coins, 1260 True Qi Rice Seeds, 126 Gray Crystals, 126..."

A gray magic core.

"Attention—Five minutes left in the countdown."

After resting for an hour, Yang Fei successfully completed the daily challenge. After collecting his daily challenge loot, he also collected 30 white boxes, 150 gray boxes, 110 revived white treasure chests, and 230 revived gray treasure chests.

Finally, perhaps by coincidence, when Yang Fei checked how many chests he needed to open the next day, he was surprised to find that all four types of chests had reached whole numbers, with 700 white chests and 2000 gray chests available for use.

In that case, Yang Fei plans to open 100 white treasure chests and 200 gray treasure chests tomorrow. His defense is sufficient, so he doesn't need to open too many. What Yang Fei needs are some new types of defensive towers and blueprints that can be used directly, to enrich what he can do during the long monster siege.

After finishing today's business, Yang Fei once again brought the succubus sisters and Sephira to the Abyss Shop. Today, they had once again gone through four waves of monster sieges, and Yang Fei had accumulated 200 elite beast souls.

Without hesitation, Yang Fei immediately added 720 silver coins to allow Sephira to exchange for 20 new Abyss Elegy Tower construction cards, and then built another 20 Abyss Elegy Towers.

Afterwards, Yang Fei spent 330 silver coins to exchange for 3000 gray magic cores, and recruited 30 more tentacle jellyfish from the tentacle nest, so that they could continue to leech off the experience that the twenty new banshees couldn't use.

After completing these preparations, Yang Fei was too exhausted to stay awake any longer and took the succubus sisters back to the cabin. He had originally planned to go home today, but he was so busy that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down in Mona's arms.

When Yang Fei woke up again, it was already 5 a.m. on May 8th. He yawned and did not get up immediately as usual. Instead, he continued to lie in Mona and Lola's arms and used his daily card-drawing talent.

Perhaps it was just bad luck, but every time he opened a treasure chest, he always felt it wasn't as good as the chests opened by the succubus sisters. This time, the same thing happened. Although the succubus sisters weren't directly involved, Yang Fei, who was attached to them, did get some good stuff this time.

"Troop Summoning Card (Green Rare): Can summon 50 troop types from a troop nest without cost. These 50 troops start at level 0 Beast. If the troop nest can summon more than one type of troop, it can slightly increase the probability of summoning rare troops."

"Can I summon ferocious beast-level units? Then wouldn't I be able to directly summon a tentacle jellyfish that rivals a ferocious beast lord?"

Wow! Just thinking about it gets me excited!

Upon seeing the description on the green card in his hand, Yang Fei couldn't resist. Without even saying goodbye, he broke free from the embrace of the two succubi, hurriedly dressed, and headed straight for the troop's lair.

Why didn't Yang Fei greet the succubus sisters? It's not Yang Fei's fault, because of the "directly summon ferocious beast" effect.

It smells amazing! Before the troop nest reaches blue quality, no matter how much Yang Fei upgrades the troop nest, the troop nest will only recruit level 0 beasts, which are the initial level troops. It cannot summon ferocious beast-level troops.

To obtain ferocious beast units, one must wait for these beast-level units to gradually upgrade, but this upgrade is extremely difficult. Just look at Yang Fei; with such a massive number of monsters attacking the city, each wave of those tentacle jellyfish can gain a lot of experience, making his upgrade efficiency much higher than that of a normal lord.

However, to this day, of Yang Fei's 62 tentacle jellyfish, only the first 4 have upgraded from Beast Level 0 to Beast Level 1.

To put it in perspective, assuming a sufficient supply of experience, it took Yang Fei more than a week to level up to the initial level. Subsequent levels require even more experience, so the time required would only be longer.

Moreover, leveling up is not the most important thing in this process. The most important thing is the potential of these units, that is, whether these units have the ability to upgrade to the ferocious beast level.

Simply having experience and level is not enough to make small leaps in life level. Just like a low-level martial artist advancing to a high-level martial artist, it's not enough to accumulate enough true qi. You also need to see if you have the right mindset and the potential.

Generally, if a lord wants to obtain high-quality troops, he can only upgrade the quality of his lair, that is, upgrade it to blue. At that time, the initial level of the troops will be forcibly upgraded from Beast level 0 to Ferocious Beast level 0.

Even though these beast-level and killer-level units may be the same in appearance, race, and even potential, the Blue Nest, as the basic building of the Sky Island, can break this rule and forcibly recruit higher-quality units.

Therefore, many lords rarely recruit troops in the early stages. Firstly, the early stages of Sky Island are mainly about tower defense, and soldiers are not very useful. Secondly, for this reason, many troops really have limited potential and cannot be promoted to magical beasts or even ferocious beasts, so there is no point in training them after they are recruited.

Troops are mainly used for conquering cities and territories; in terms of defending sky islands, they can't compare to defensive towers.

The difference between using ferocious beasts to attack a city and using wild animals to conquer territory is enormous. Therefore, the reason many lords choose to recruit troops is somewhat similar to Yang Fei's previous defense strategy: to act as a ground barrier, slowing down the monster siege.

This recruitment card could bypass this restriction, allowing Yang Fei to use the Blue Nest ahead of time and directly recruit ferocious beast-level troops. He could also recruit fifty times without any cost. How could he not lose his composure?

"Furthermore, I remember that the Tentacle Nest can summon other tentacle monsters, but the probability is too small. I summoned 60 tentacles and have only seen tentacle jellyfish. I wonder if using this thing will allow me to see other kinds of tentacle monsters."

Arriving at the tentacles' lair, Yang Fei took a deep breath. Instead of using the precious troop summoning card, he used up his two free slots for the day and recruited two new tentacle monsters.

Unfortunately, it was still just tentacle jellyfish; I didn't see any other types of tentacle monsters. It seems that before upgrading this unit's nest, I can only pin my hopes on these summoning cards.

Name: Tentacle Jellyfish Race: Abyssal Tentacle Monster/Low-Rank Demon

等级：凶兽0级属性：生命值1000，攻击60.防御30，法术抗性10

Abilities: Can move tentacles, level 1 Abyssal filth, omnivorous.

Abyssal Foul Qi Level 1 (Passive): A special creature from the Abyss world, countered by the Order faction. Damage dealt to creatures attacked by it is doubled, but the creature itself becomes immune to some negative effects. Currently available are Freeze, Slow, Sleep, Charm, and Poison, which will gradually unlock as the level increases.

Using this unit summoning card directly will first summon the familiar old friend, the tentacle jellyfish.

However, although the appearance of the tentacle jellyfish that has entered the ferocious beast level has not changed much, its size has increased from about half a meter to a meter in height, and its tentacles have become thicker. It finally looks a bit like the tentacle monster in Yang Fei's memory.

Moreover, Yang Fei noticed that one of the skills of these ferocious beast-level tentacle monsters had changed. To be precise, it had undergone some kind of enhancement of the abyssal foul energy, which had reached level 1 and increased its resistance to freezing. This was quite outrageous.

Generally speaking, when a unit's quality is improved, its four main attributes will decrease. However, in the process of a beast becoming a ferocious beast, it should not decrease, because the process of a beast becoming a ferocious beast is similar to a mortal becoming a martial artist, and it does not involve a major improvement in the essence of life.

Both are essentially still at the level of mortals. Advancing to the level of ferocious beast is the same as advancing to the level of martial artist. They just have the foundation to question the extraordinary. In terms of attributes, there is naturally no change.

Only when a beast advances to the next level or a cultivator advances to the Qi Refining Realm will its attributes undergo a fundamental change.

As the level of life changes, this change is quantified in terms of attributes as a reduction. However, this is not a numerical reduction, but a new four-dimensional manifestation, which is the numerical manifestation of hierarchical suppression mentioned earlier.

To give a simple example, can a ferocious beast with 10,000 four-dimensional attributes, which is equivalent to a martial artist with 10,000 four-dimensional attributes, defeat a magical beast with only one four-dimensional attribute, which is equivalent to a Qi Refining Realm cultivator with only one four-dimensional attribute?

Answer: No!

That's right, it's that realistic! In the face of hierarchical suppression, no amount of numerical values ​​or even mechanisms matters anymore, because they are using a completely new way of calculating. The numbers are the same, but the meaning they express has changed, and the two are fundamentally different.

However, that only happens when a ferocious beast advances to become a magical beast. At the level of mortals, that is, the change from a wild beast to a ferocious beast, there is no such level suppression, and as for skills, they will not change.

Even if the Abyssal Foul Aura has an option that unlocks gradually as the level increases, that's only relative to the description of the skill itself and has nothing to do with the Tentacle Jellyfish's own level increase.

To change the skill level, one can only improve the skill level through external forces or personal enlightenment, but both external forces and personal enlightenment are quite troublesome.
