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

Moreover, after the daily challenge reduces the monster's attributes, the two little guys have an attack power of up to 6, which is enough to kill a slime in two hits, including two types of elites. They can be said to be the main force in defending the base this time.

Yang Fei also planned to leave some slimes for them to kill at the last moment. Since they had just started cultivating, their maximum capacity for absorbing true energy was sufficient, allowing them to gain more experience.

Yang Fei will be on the field again this time, but since the two little guys can demonstrate their combat power this time, each of them has 18 tentacles, and each tentacle can attack, so their killing efficiency should be able to keep up, he will only be responsible for killing the acid slime.

The long-range acid attacks are still too severe, especially in the early stages. They are really troublesome and difficult to deal with. Although they only attack the base, Yang Fei still plans to take them out as soon as possible.

The two white arrow towers continued to corrode the slimes, while also dealing with the ordinary slimes that managed to break through the two little guys' defenses. After confirming everything was ready, Yang Fei ended the blue gate countdown and officially started the daily challenge.

The countdown to the blue gate instantly reached zero, and green slimes poured out one after another. Then, the familiar notification sounded, still the gaze of the Slime King, dispatching two types of elite slimes.

However, given the daily challenges, there was no need to display their exact numbers. The Heavenly Dao AI didn't explicitly state it, and Yang Fei didn't care, because the daily challenges didn't drop any byproducts, so there was no difference between ordinary and elite challenges at this point.

Yang Fei skillfully pulled the crossbow, searching for the acid slime gushing out of the blue gate, but he soon discovered that there didn't seem to be many of either acid slime or corrosive slime.

The two white arrow towers were more than enough to handle the situation, and there was even room to help the two little ones relieve some of the pressure. So Yang Fei stopped making a move and simply watched the battlefield quietly as the two little ones wreaked havoc.

"Having more tentacles has its advantages. Two tentacles can kill a slime in one go. Each of the two little guys has eighteen tentacles, so their monster-killing efficiency is even faster than their monster-spawning efficiency. That way, it will be over very quickly."

As expected, as the number of monsters remaining on the blue gate reached zero, the two white arrow towers gradually stopped attacking, and the remaining monsters in the war corridor were cleared away one by one by the two little guys. Yang Fei finally completed today's daily challenge.

"Congratulations, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1, you have perfectly cleared the Daily Challenge. The next refresh time is tomorrow morning. Please note that the dimensional gate is about to close and the War Corridor is about to disappear. Please retrieve the defensive towers on both sides of the War Corridor in time. Countdown: 5 minutes."

Hearing the familiar notification, Yang Fei couldn't help but smile. If only monster sieges on normal difficulty were this easy. Unfortunately, it was impossible; he didn't even know how to defend against monster sieges on the next difficulty level.

"If all else fails, I'll upgrade the core thatched hut first. Once the thatched hut is at the intermediate level, I can bring in 10 people. I definitely need to keep it a secret that I'm a beta tester, but I can tell my dad and mom that I have another gray arrow tower. If I build it and they help defend it, maybe we can hold it."

Yang Fei returned to the Sky Island with the two little ones. After putting the three defense towers back in their positions, he collected all the dropped items into the system space with a single click, instantly filling the system space.

Including what I already had, the system space now contains: a green-quality slave trader summoning token, 18 catties of True Qi Rice, 80 catties of White Rice, 150 copper coins, 80 True Qi Rice seeds, 8 gray crystals, and 8 gray magic cores.

"The rewards for the daily challenge have increased by 8 jin of True Qi Rice, 80 jin of White Rice, 80 Copper Coins, 80 True Qi Rice Seeds, 8 Gray Crystals, and 8 Gray Magic Cores. It seems the rewards for the daily challenge haven't changed."

Based on the experience of predecessors, without calculating the maximum number of times the bonus can be multiplied, all items in the daily reward are stacked according to the four normal difficulty levels: Easy is 1, which is also the base; Normal is 2, Hard is 5, and Maximum is 10.

In other words, if you clear the level on Hard difficulty, the reward is 90. The sum of Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties is 8. Yang Fei thought this rule no longer applied because the number of monsters attacking him had changed.

Unexpectedly, this benchmark doesn't change with the daily increase or decrease in the number of monsters; it remains the same. So, if the number of monsters increases dramatically, wouldn't using energy crystals to replenish the defense tower's energy and then kill monsters result in a loss compared to when the benchmark was unchanged?

"Sigh! It seems that the Heavenly Dao is determined to limit the daily minimum reward lords. More monsters will appear but less rewards will be given. Unless you always want to receive the lowest minimum rewards, you may have to go all out just to get through the daily rewards."

After letting the two little guys refine the experience they had just gained from killing a large number of slimes, Yang Fei went to his core thatched hut and checked its specific attributes.

Core Thatched Hut (Initial): 1000 Resilience, 10 Defense, 10 Spell Resistance. The core building of the Sky Island. If it is breached, the defense is lost, the lord loses the Sky Island, and returns to his own world.

Core Thatched Hut (Upgradeable): Costing 100 copper coins, you can upgrade the Core Thatched Hut to Intermediate Core Thatched Hut. The spiritual energy concentration in the surrounding environment will increase slightly, and the Sky Island will also be upgraded to a circle with a radius of 100 meters.

Core Thatched Hut (Special): The Core Thatched Hut is highly bound to the lord, and all the lord's permissions are related to this core. Currently, it unlocks the system data panel, system warehouse, and the lord's exclusive abilities—move, adjust, and collect with one click.

The next level will unlock the Lord's ability to carry people, allowing you to lead ten non-sky island residents to and from the sky island. At the same time, the system warehouse will be increased to 15 slots, and the stacking capacity will increase from 100 to 200. After unlocking the Heavenly Path Shop, the number of items sold in the Heavenly Path Shop will also be increased.

Note that core buildings do not have an initial grade. Their grade will change every three upgrades. Some auxiliary buildings will be restricted by this and will not be able to upgrade. Please pay attention to upgrading the grade of auxiliary buildings in order to upgrade the grade of core buildings.

At the same time, please note that upgrading the quality of core buildings will significantly increase the attractiveness of surrounding sky islands to potential monsters in the surrounding environment, thereby increasing the probability of monster harassment and random monster sieges.

Looking at the remaining time for the day, Yang Fei decided to use up the daily talent that would refresh soon. If the items he drew could help him defend against the upcoming extreme difficulty, then he could postpone upgrading the core thatched hut.

Yang Fan remembered that after completing the four basic difficulty levels, the Heavenly Path Shop would be unlocked, at which point he could continue to spend currency to buy defense towers, thereby increasing his output efficiency. The doubled extreme mode would increase the monster's stats.
