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

Moreover, under normal circumstances, trainee lords will not invest their precious resources in the recruitment hut, since a single random recruitment costs 50 copper coins, and copper coins, as a basic currency, are used in far too many places.

Using it to recruit an uncertain resident is really hard to accept when resources are extremely scarce in the early stages. If you save up copper coins for a few more days, you can buy a defense tower in the Heavenly Path Shop. Moreover, if you really want a resident, there are plenty on Azure Star, and you don't need to spend money.

As for the period when they are trainee lords and have not yet become true lords, even fewer people recruit their subjects. First of all, whether they can pass the assessment is a big problem, because under normal circumstances, they cannot return to Azure Star during the assessment period. Yang Fei is only able to return now because he took advantage of the special benefits of the closed beta.

Secondly, there's a lack of funds to recruit citizens, upgrade sky islands, and purchase defensive towers—all crucial tasks. Where would one find the money to recruit citizens?

Even if you recruit them, the speed at which resources are accumulated is probably less than one-tenth of the daily rate. You have to understand that the people can't bring direct benefits to the lord; production is a long-term project.

As for the farmed beasts, not to mention the recruitment probability, the first time lords see them, they will obtain a farm. That is the sixth wave of the novice assessment. After passing the easy difficulty, an option will appear.

It includes chicken farms, duck farms, goose farms, pig farms, etc. After selection, it will affect the reward items of the three basic difficulty levels. For example, if you choose a chicken farm, the subsequent rewards will include chicken raising skills, chicks, and a hatchery.

Only then can you truly grasp the concept of "breeding beasts." The sixth wave is simple in some ways, since it's only the sixth wave and the monsters' strength is still at the level of wild beasts. However, judging from yesterday's clearing speed and the cumulative difficulty, reaching that wave probably won't be easy.

Having completed the recruitment, Yang Fei ordered the lesser demons to take turns guarding the burrowing beasts. He then instructed everyone to rest and took Mona to the core thatched hut. Seeing her slightly disheveled appearance, Yang Fei showed no sympathy. He simply granted her the authority to access the defense towers and let her rest in the thatched hut before returning to Azure Star.

Waking up in bed and seeing his familiar little nest, Yang Fei, who had maintained a cool and aloof expression, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He collapsed onto the bed, unable to stay awake any longer, and fell into a deep sleep without even taking off his clothes.

Having already been busy all day after school, Yang Fei was suddenly transported to a tower defense world, spending a lot of energy controlling arrow towers to kill monsters, and finally had to teach a succubus a lesson. He really couldn't take it anymore.

During that final period, Yang Fei relied solely on willpower to stay afloat. He didn't even feel like opening the seemingly most important angel gift pack because he simply couldn't hold on any longer. Both physically and mentally, his body was still too weak.

Secondly, you must adjust your mindset. In principle, when recruiting people, you should not appear too aloof, even if they have full loyalty and accept the demon bloodline theory. The lord must get to know his people.

But Yang Fei was really out of options. He was powerless at that point and could only resort to the common methods used by demons. His body and mind could no longer support him to think too much. If he hadn't absorbed enough true energy today, the soft touch when he sat on Mona's waist would probably have been enough to make him fall asleep.

Yang Fei slept soundly, the best sleep he'd had since the start of the school season. He used to always think about how to improve himself during the month the school gave students, and thinking too much about it always made it hard to fall asleep. Now he was finally free.

When he woke up again, it was already seven o'clock in the morning. After having breakfast with his family, he wanted to send his younger siblings to school, but his parents and second sister wanted him to rest well and prepare for the tower defense world test.

Seeing his parents and younger siblings' determination, Yang Fei sighed. He had originally planned to upgrade the core thatched hut and tell his parents everything so that they would help him protect the house, but after thinking about it, Yang Fei finally gave up.

The secret of the internal testing was never very safe. It wasn't that he was worried that his parents or younger siblings would leak the secret, but rather that various factors told Yang Fei that he couldn't do it for the time being. His parents' sudden decision to give up their decent, stable jobs, coupled with the fact that his younger siblings were still young and spoke without thinking, could very well arouse suspicion.

Whether it's Azure Star or the Tower Defense world, it's ultimately a world that yearns for fairness. It's best not to mention things like closed beta without data wipes, which are obviously unfair. We can't always judge other people's behavior based on our own good intentions, and we should always guard against bad intentions.

There are still 35 days left in the closed beta, plus a month for the newbie assessment, for a total of 65 days. If I can successfully pass the assessment within these 65 days, then I can legitimately bring my parents and younger siblings to the Sky Island, and no one will gossip.

What I need to do now is prepare for the future, and use these 65 days to pass all the levels of the novice assessment as much as possible, paving the way for myself to become a lord, so that I can live up to their expectations.

After playing with his younger siblings who hadn't started school yet, Yang Fei returned to his room, lay down on his bed, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found himself in the core thatched hut.

Smelling a faint fragrance, Yang Fei frowned and looked into the thatched hut. He was speechless. He saw the succubus sitting on his straw bed, her eyes filled with affection, and an unusual excitement appeared on her face.

Yang Fei paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure. He took out a pair of wooden handcuffs that he had prepared in advance from his system inventory and handcuffed the succubus girl's hands.

"This is a little toy I made. I originally made it for my younger siblings to play the game of Uncle Hat and the thief, but now we can play a little game too."

"You'll be wearing these handcuffs today. They're quite fragile, so you'd better not use any force. If you can keep them on, I'll reward you. If not, I'm not in the mood to touch you today. I need to spend time making another one for my younger siblings, understand?"

Yang Fei looked into the succubus girl's eyes without saying a word. He then took out one of his own large coats from his backpack and draped it over the succubus girl, replacing the two almost non-existent pieces of fabric. Although it couldn't cover the succubus girl's exaggerated figure, it reduced the impact on him, preventing him from being seduced and falling for her.

Actually, Yang Fei wanted to buy the succubus girl some proper clothes, but he didn't have a good reason to buy her anything suitable. After all, he didn't have a girlfriend, and it would be a bit lewd to just go to the mall and ask for a women's outfit. So, he could only make do with what he had for now.
