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

Chapter 157 Arrow Rain Technique

"Great Lord of the Abyss, your most loyal subjects greet you~" An extremely ethereal and illusory voice rang out directly in Yang Fei's mind, like some kind of creature wriggling, or like some kind of creature meaninglessly rubbing against the viscous air, in short, it was not a human voice.

However, Yang Fei understood the meaning, which left him speechless. He didn't understand it at all! At least he couldn't grasp the meaning from just one aspect; it was just automatically translated into a meaning he could understand in his mind!

Although Yang Fei was very curious about the Abyss Qi Black Pattern Mother, he simply didn't have time to learn more about it. He simply left the Abyss Qi Black Pattern Mother floating in that state, waiting for his next arrangements.

Yang Fei led 49 ferocious beast-level tentacle jellyfish to the foot of the city wall. These tentacle jellyfish didn't need to fight; they could just go to the Elegy Tower to gain experience, just like the beast-level tentacle monsters of the past.

Yang Fei himself still needs to wake up Lola, start today's daily challenge, open boxes, unlock the 10x limit, and then go to the refugee camp to continue yesterday's unfinished work, continue to select suitable talents to participate in the next stage of development.

Yang Fei and Lola, who had just woken up, arrived at the city wall. Sephira had already assembled the troops. Without hesitation, Yang Fei put Lola in charge of commanding the daily challenge, while he started today's daily challenge directly on the city wall.

"Understood, Trainee Lord Yang Fei—1—The challenge will begin in ten minutes. Please be prepared for defense."

"Please note that this daily challenge is a product of the fourth wave of extreme difficulty monster siege. The monster type is sprite, level - beast level 0, and the number of monsters is - 10000, which has reached the daily challenge monster limit. The attributes are one-tenth of the normal wave."

"Please adjust the position of the War Slab — please note the challenge time."

After starting the daily event, Yang Fei didn't rest. He put 100 white treasure chests and 200 gray treasure chests into his system slots as planned, and then found an open space on the city wall to arrange them one by one.

"By Mona Lola, I, as your lord, command you to bless me so that I may open this treasure chest and obtain a great treasure." Yang Fei sat cross-legged near the treasure chest, muttering to himself, reciting sentences that no one else could understand.

Unfortunately, Yang Fei had originally wanted the succubus sisters to help him open the treasure chests, since based on experience, they were indeed luckier than him. However, time was tight, Lola had to command the battle, and Mona needed to rest to prepare for the upcoming 10x limit, so Yang Fei had to do it himself.

In fact, before the daily challenge began, Yang Fei had already arranged the division of labor for the next few days on his way here. The elves and humans would work in three shifts, while the succubus sisters would take turns being the overall commander of the battlefield. Apart from Sephira and the others in the Elegy Tower who could rest on duty, everyone else had to strictly follow Yang Fei's battle plan and work in three shifts.

A person's energy is limited in a day, and the time they are at their peak is even shorter. When working normally, the difference between this peak state and their usual state is not noticeable. However, on the battlefield, whether a person has rested well or not is very obvious.

Therefore, Yang Fei made this request not out of compassion for his people, but because he had to do it to ensure the perfect defense of his sky island! Of course, it was also necessary for the kind-hearted Yang Fei to consider the people's needs.

Afterwards, Yang Fei didn't rush to open the treasure chest. Instead, he first retrieved the zombie-attracting team's loot, totaling 661.

The amount of flax and 3041 copper coins is steadily increasing, indicating that these guys are working even harder, absorbing [something] all night.

The number of zombies has definitely increased again.

However, most of the other items recovered this time were household items, such as pots and pans, tables and chairs, etc. There was still no means of transportation that Yang Fei wanted. The work of the zombie attraction team still has a long way to go!

However, the daily harvest was increasing, which meant that their daily range of activity was expanding, and the search team's harvest was gradually changing from various junk to some useful items, which was a good thing, and Yang Fei couldn't ask for too much.

After finishing his pre-dinner dessert, Yang Fei finally turned his attention back to the main attraction beside him: 100 white treasure chests, 200...

A gray treasure chest.

Opening these treasure chests is a huge undertaking, and Yang Fei will likely spend a lot of time and effort on it. But Yang Fei doesn't care; as long as he's lucky, making a fortune is no problem.

Therefore, Yang Fei had been muttering to himself before, and even just now, a slight fear made him take care of some miscellaneous tasks. Now that he had completely calmed down, he had to face everything head-on.

Yang Fei circulated his true qi throughout his body, took a deep breath, and without further hesitation, opened the treasure chests one by one. The basic rewards of 100 gold coins and 200 silver coins were a given.

The most important white treasure chest also contained an item that Yang Fei had never seen before—one Arrow Rain spell casting blueprint. This item is the same as the Ice Burst spell casting blueprint that Yang Fei obtained from the Slime Lord before. It is a ranged skill casting blueprint that can be used multiple times.

Arrow Rain (White, Common): A common area-of-effect physical damage scroll blueprint. Upon use, it releases a 10-meter radius arrow rain, instantly unleashing three crossbow bolts equivalent to a white arrow tower, dealing damage to all enemy units within the area.

300 physical damage.

It costs 5 gray crystals or 1 white crystal to release once. The cooldown time is 1 hours. After ten releases, the blueprint will disappear into the void and can no longer be used. Please be careful with the number of uses!

It deals 300 damage to all enemy units within range and has a one-hour cooldown. This isn't very useful to Yang Fei, as it's far less significant than the Ice Blast casting blueprint, which has a control effect. However, it can still serve as a lifesaver in certain situations.

After putting away the Arrow Rain spell release blueprint, Yang Fei looked at the items that appeared in the other white treasure chests. There were no new items, only some that Yang Fei had seen before.

Among them, the items related to Sky Island defense include: "25 white arrow tower construction cards, 2 flamethrower tower construction cards, 2 slow tower construction cards, 10 white basic stone slabs, 3 white attack-boosting stone slabs, and 2 white energy-recharging stone slabs."

Yang Fei didn't hesitate about these. After completing the daily challenge, he could use them directly. Then there were the various items that Yang Fei could barely use as basic resource reserves.

包含：「城墙建造卡19小/1中礼包（白色），基础材料18小/1中/1大礼包（白色），5张民房建造图纸（白色普通），5张灵田建造图纸（白色普通）。」

Finally, there are three white quality core stones that Yang Fei doesn't need for the time being, one white ordinary hill expansion stone, and one white ordinary forest expansion stone. Yang Fei knows that these things are very precious.

However, there's no other way; their vast floating island still lacks a usable mode of transportation, making further expansion impractical.

As for what appeared in the two hundred gray treasure chests? Perhaps the succubus sisters really worked, because Yang Fei also found a new item in the gray treasure chest he opened, and it was a functional building blueprint that Yang Fei had never seen before.

"Flower Bed Construction Blueprint (Gray Common): Functional building blueprint, costs 100 wood, 10 gray magic cores, 1..."

Use any type of miniature seed packet (i.e., 10 seeds) to build a miniature flower bed in a 3x10 flat area. The flower bed must be built in a residential area.

This drawing is a non-basic building drawing, so it can only be used once. Flower beds can effectively improve resident loyalty, enhance the aesthetics of the residential area, and at the same time, slightly increase population growth.

Flower Bed (Expandable): Costs 100 units of wood, 10 units of gray quality wood, and one small seed pack of any type. It expands the miniature flower bed to a 20x80 small flower bed, with slight enhancements to all functions.

Note: This building requires a gray-quality sky island to construct, but it cannot be upgraded like a normal building. Therefore, this building is only suitable for construction in ordinary residential areas; its functionality will be limited in areas where cultivators congregate.

The function of this blueprint is somewhat similar to the expansion stone that Yang Fei obtained. It is described as a functional building, but in Yang Fei's opinion, it should be considered a landscape, and a common landscape that cannot be upgraded.

Well, for lords with a large number of followers, this thing should be a treasure. For example, if they build it near the refugee camps of the Qianwu people who have joined them, it can soothe their mood and help them recover from the loss of their homes more quickly.

However, Yang Fei has not yet started allocating those residential houses, so building this thing is somewhat redundant, or rather, putting the cart before the horse.

With this scenic building, everyone will definitely choose the houses near the scenic building, just like those "scenic houses" far away from residential areas on Azure Star. Before the tower defense world arrived, many guys who belonged to the upper class in Yang Fei's opinion would do anything to fight for those houses.

Therefore, Yang Fei didn't want this trouble, and if it did, he hoped they would solve it themselves. He didn't want to get a headache from it. He would use the blueprints after these people had initially established the new order.

Aside from this blueprint, the remaining 199 gray treasure chests don't offer anything particularly noteworthy. The only defense-related items are 36 gray arrow tower construction cards, 2 gray flamethrower tower construction cards, 1 gray gravity slow tower construction card, 16 war corridor extension cards, and 4 black swamp construction cards.

Yang Fei also needed quite a few construction blueprints, namely 24 gray wooden house construction blueprints and 16 gray spirit field construction blueprints. Although it was not as many as Yang Fei had imagined, it was enough for the regular construction team to use in the next two days, in addition to what Yang Fei already had.

再然后就是各类资源储备方面：分别包含城墙各类建造卡15小/8中/1大礼包，各类基础资源14小/7中/1大礼包，各类真气米种子22小/2中/1大礼包。

Yang Fei had no shortage of city walls and various resources, so he stored them all as his own resource reserves. As for the various True Qi Rice Seed gift packs, Yang Fei opened them directly. He had no shortage of spirit fields and elf farmers comparable to martial artists, so he could just use them directly.

The 22 small True Qi Rice Seed gift packs yielded a total of 2200 True Qi Rice Seeds, and the 2 medium and 1 large True Qi Rice Seed packs yielded 2000 seeds. Combined with the 13124 seeds Yang Fei had planted previously, Yang Fei now has over 17,000 True Qi Rice Seeds, occupying 18 spirit fields, and nearly half of the 40 spirit fields he has built are already completed.

In addition, Yang Fei also offered several other types of resource packs, such as copper/silver/gold coin packs, gray energy crystal packs, gray magic core packs, and spirit stone packs, which are four basic currency packs.

These are relatively basic resource packs, recorded in "Tower Defense World," but Yang Fei had never obtained them before. Only now has he begun to acquire them. He speculates that this method of obtaining these packs requires unlocking the currency exchange function.

When his predecessors obtained these gift packs, they were all in the formal lord stage. Logically speaking, they should have been able to obtain these things during the novice stage as well. However, they did not trigger random events like the treasure chest monster siege that Yang Fei experienced.

There are very few ways to obtain these gift packs during the beginner period. The veterans have not yet figured out a stable way to obtain them, so the methods for obtaining them are recorded after becoming a formal lord.

As Yang Fei predicted, if there hadn't been a lot of mimics coming to Sky Island, he wouldn't have thought he could reliably acquire these items. If he were one of those veterans, acquiring these items during the beginner phase would probably only be attributed to luck.

As for luck, it's best to avoid mentioning it in textbooks or similar books.

The mechanism of these four types of currency gift packs is also different from the city wall construction cards that Yang Fei obtained before. You will only get what you open, and the quantity is only related to the size of the gift pack, not the probability.

Yang Fei liked this aspect very much. If these commonly used items were obtained with a probability of 0.99% or 0.01%, he would easily break down.

We won't go into too much detail about these gift packs, as you can tell from their names. Let's take the copper coin gift pack as an example and briefly explain how many copper coins you can get from each type of gift pack, from large to small.

This value is universal for other types of currency packs, so there's no need to go into detail about them one by one.

A small copper coin pack contains 100 copper coins, a medium copper coin pack contains 500 copper coins, and a large copper coin pack contains 1000 copper coins.

Overall, it's not bad. After all, a large gold coin gift pack is a reward of 1000 gold coins, and these 1000 gold coins are very useful to Yang Fei.
