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

Having 36 more days than others, Yang Fei naturally wanted to clear the doubled difficulty level, making upgrading the core thatched hut not the optimal choice at the moment. Of course, if he didn't draw anything beneficial for defense, he would definitely upgrade the core thatched hut to unlock the carry function and clear the extreme difficulty level first.

For the upcoming defense, Yang Fei returned to the thatched hut and used the gray arrow tower card stored in the cardboard box to build a second gray arrow tower near the city wall. In this way, Yang Fei had two white arrow towers and two gray arrow towers.

One of the two arrow towers has no energy, while the other has 63 energy. In addition, there is a golden tentacle tower that is not needed for the time being, two initial city walls, and one initial city gate.

At the same time, he took out the three gray crystals and 66 pieces of bio-rubber stored in the cardboard box and put them into the system space. He also temporarily put the tokens, 80 catties of white rice, 18 catties of true qi rice, 8 gray magic cores, and 80 true qi rice seeds that were not needed in the system space into the box.

After a series of operations, Yang Fei's system space was left with only 150 copper coins, 11 gray crystals, and 66 pieces of bio-rubber, occupying three system slots. These three types of items would still drop in the next wave of monster sieges, so there was no need to deliberately free up space.

Fortunately, there is no limit to how much copper coins can be stacked; otherwise, Yang Fei would have liked to store them in a box.

Inside the core thatched hut, Yang Fei reorganized the 180 jin of white rice, 18 jin of Qi rice, and a bag of Qi rice seeds (180 seeds in total), putting these three items into one box.

The fishing rod and bait, which are items to be used tomorrow, are in one cardboard box; a green-quality slave trader summoning token and 8 gray magic cores, which are not needed for the time being, are in a separate box.

After tidying everything up, Yang Fei spoke with his two subordinates, inquiring about their hunger. Upon learning that they didn't need to eat for the time being, he instantly relaxed. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, his work for the day was complete.

Yang Fei and his two subordinates sat down cross-legged, waiting for the day to end. Although the mission was completed, he could not rest immediately. He needed to use the daily card draw, summon the free subordinates refreshed from the troop nests, and refine the true qi in his body that was not yet fully refined.

Time passed second by second. When Yang Fei had refined another trace of the true energy stored in his body, the time finally reached midnight. Without hesitation, Yang Fei drew a card.

A smooth stone instantly appeared in Yang Fei's hand. The stone was white all over and its appearance and size were roughly the same as an egg. However, this thing was weightless in his hand, and Yang Fei could not even feel it.

Random Secret Realm Opening Stone: Used on your own Sky Island, it can open a special space that can be refreshed, namely the dungeon belonging to this Sky Island. It requires spending Spirit Stones or currency corresponding to the difficulty level to enter, making it the best choice for farming materials.

"Holy crap, it's a Secret Realm Opening Stone! I remember that only the ninth wave of the beginner assessment gives you a random resource, a Secret Realm Opening Stone. I got one already?" Yang Fei looked at the white stone in his hand, somewhat incredulous. Was his talent really that amazing?

This is a dungeon where you can continuously obtain resources! Apart from wave rewards or exchanging special items through the Heavenly Dao event, it's extremely difficult to get this item through other means. To get it as a drop, you need to kill a ferocious beast of king quality, and even then, the probability is quite low.

I got one so easily? But why does the item drawn through the daily talent draw have to be randomized again? Shouldn't it just draw a Secret Stone to unlock a specific dungeon? Why is it randomized again?

It's important to know that dungeons only drop specific materials, and other items cannot be taken out. For example, if the dungeon is a spirit stone dungeon with various monsters that drop spirit stones when killed, then it will only drop spirit stones. You can't even take the monster corpses out of the dungeon.

So why does Yang Fei dislike that this thing is of a random type? If it were a special secret realm opening stone, then Yang Fei could consider whether or not to build it. If it were a resource dungeon and not too difficult, Yang Fei would be happy to build it.

But what if this dungeon is too difficult? Even though it doesn't cost any resources to build, no one can challenge it. Yang Fei's current goal is to clear the doubled limit mode of each wave as much as possible. It's a bit of a waste that this thing can't be used right now.

This is a game where things snowball. This thing might be very important to your future self, but you don't need it now. So you really have to calculate how useful building this thing is to your current self.

If you sell this to the Heavenly Path Shop that you'll unlock later, you might get ripped off a bit, but the starting capital you get will definitely be substantial. For example, in terms of silver coins, the money you get from selling this might be enough to buy dozens of excellent soldiers from the slave trader, which would basically put you in a stable position in the early game.

"Sigh, randomness has its advantages. If this thing produces some kind of specialty product, wouldn't I be losing a fortune? Although selling it would quickly accumulate resources, considering the difficulty of obtaining it and the future of the territory, the loss is barely acceptable. Besides, this is a gift from my talent. Not selling it would at most waste a day of card drawing, which is acceptable!"

After much deliberation, Yang Fei finally made up his mind and used the stone in his hand. In an open space near the thatched hut, a black vortex slowly emerged from the ground. Then, a beautiful woman with black wings slowly walked out and stood in the position Yang Fei had chosen. The vortex disappeared, and the beautiful woman raised her scythe, aiming it at Yang Fei, and slowly transformed into a life-size black stone statue.

After all these changes were complete, Yang Fei looked at the black scythe that was still pointing at him with lingering fear. He didn't think that the thing in front of him was a building, because when the beautiful woman appeared, she clearly glanced at him.

That one glance sent an extreme chill through Yang Fei; it was a viciousness devoid of emotion or pity, completely unlike the woman's beautiful appearance.

"Strange, this girl looks like an angel from an anime, so she should be quite holy. The Heavenly Dao usually follows these original settings when designing her like this, but why don't I feel any holiness at all?"

Looking at the angel statue in front of him, Yang Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. To be honest, if he hadn't been able to sense through his lord's authority that the angel statue was indeed one of his buildings, he would have activated the Tentacle Tower to give this guy a good whack.

"Angel's Game (Green): A single-player dungeon where 6 players from different worlds enter the dungeon by using at least green-grade items as collateral. They transform into demons and fight each other with absolute fairness and justice to please the angels watching. It can be opened once a week."
