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

Although it's fine to store these things in his own system space now, Yang Fei still likes to organize them to relieve his obsessive-compulsive disorder. Besides, it's always a good thing to organize things; they can't always be a mess.

Yang Fei took out two gray treasure chests and one white treasure chest. He looked at them and found that they were exactly the same as the mimic monsters. In other words, the three mimic monsters that appeared this time were exactly the same as the treasure chests that Yang Fei had seen in the data.

If it weren't for the fact that these mimics could move in such a bizarre way, Yang Fei would have thought that the three mimics were no different from the treasure chest in front of him, and in some cases, that was indeed the case.

"Gray Treasure Chest: A special item that can be obtained through various current events, defeating special monsters such as treasure chest monsters and boss monsters, or entering 'Explore the Secret Realm' or 'New World'."

"There are three slots available during the period for storing and retrieving items, with a maximum stack of 500 items per slot."

"White Treasure Chest: A special item that can be obtained through various events held by the Heavenly Dao, by defeating special monsters such as Treasure Chest Monsters and Boss Monsters, or by entering the 'Exploration Realm' or the 'New World'."

"There are five slots available during the period for storing and retrieving items, with a maximum stacking limit of 1000 items per slot."

Looking at the introduction that suddenly appeared in front of him, Yang Fei was a little surprised. According to this description, this thing will not disappear after being opened, but can be used as a storage item?

Moreover, these so-called grids seem to be system grids, which can stack items larger than the box itself, so this thing is a pretty good item in itself!

"My lord, would you like me to open this for you?" The seductive voice rang out from behind him as expected. Yang Fei did not turn around, but simply pushed a gray treasure chest to the succubus girl behind him.

"The treasure chest will drop more than one item, right?" Yang Fei looked at the eager succubus girl. The succubus girl was slightly taken aback, then withdrew her hand from the treasure chest and looked at Yang Fei with interest.

"My lord, I have no idea what's inside, but since you've said so, how about we make a bet? I bet there's only one item inside, what do you say?"

Yang Fei didn't look into the succubus girl's eyes; his gaze remained fixed on the unopened gray treasure chest. His face was expressionless as he quietly stared at the chest.

"What's the stake?" Yang Fei suddenly asked as the two fell silent.

"My lord, you don't have much to wager right now, because no matter you win or lose, the outcome will always be in my favor. At most, it'll just be a little more respectable." The succubus girl's seductive voice rang out again, seemingly even more alluring than before, but Yang Fei remained increasingly calm, showing no signs of getting carried away.

"Alright, let's buy something decent then." Yang Fei pondered for a long time before finally raising his head and calmly looking at the succubus girl: "Open it." Since we've come this far, it doesn't matter anymore.

"Yes, my lord~" Seeing Yang Fei trying his best to suppress his emotions, the succubus girl's smile became even more alluring. She lightly lifted her jade foot and kicked the treasure chest, which opened instantly.

The succubus glanced inside, smiled, and took out two items: "You've won." Yang Fei took a gray arrow tower card and a silver coin from the succubus's hand. He felt this world was utterly absurd.

A mimicry monster that's practically impossible to defend against at this stage only dropped these two items. With a bit of luck, you could also get these two items from a monster siege!

As for the bet with the succubus girl, Yang Fei didn't really care. Winning or losing wasn't important, because as she said, he probably didn't have any worthwhile bets for her. It was just a matter of whether he could save face.

After putting away the two items, Yang Fei took out another gray treasure chest and handed it to the succubus girl: "This time I still feel there is more than one item inside."

"Hehe, Lord, you're so naughty~" The succubus girl kicked the treasure chest open again, took out two more items, and handed them to Yang Fei. They were still a gray card and a silver coin.

"Hmm?" Yang Fei took the two items. He thought they were exactly the same as the rewards from the previous treasure chest, but he found that the gray card this time was no longer the common arrow tower card, but a special War Corridor extension card.

Dark Mud Swamp (Gray): Can be placed on the War Corridor, which will extend the War Corridor by an additional 10 meters of special area. It can change the direction of the War Corridor. Enemy units that step on it will be slowed down. If the sum of all attributes except health does not exceed health, the original forward speed will be reduced to half of the current speed.

The Black Mud Swamp (upgradeable) can be upgraded by spending 100 Gray Magic Cores. The slowing effect will be increased accordingly, and some enemies will be trapped and unable to escape for a short time.

Note that this building is not a normal War Corridor and will not upgrade along with the core buildings. After each defense is completed, it will be hidden along with the War Corridor. It is classified as a defensive tower building and can have attributes added by the defensive tower workshop.

Yang Fei stared wide-eyed at the unremarkable gray card, immediately drawn to the description "can change the direction of the war corridor." His worries vanished, and he became completely absorbed in it.

As a tower defense game enthusiast, Yang Fei is well aware of the value of the description "changing the direction of the war corridor." It can be said that if used well, its effect can even far exceed that of powerful defensive towers, playing an unexpected role in defensive battles.

Let's take a simple and easy-to-understand example. Defense towers have a limited attack range, but the War Corridor can currently only be arranged in a straight line. In some situations, some defense towers simply cannot cover the entire area, failing to achieve the so-called maximum output.

For example, Yang Fei's current war corridor is like this: although it's a full 150 meters long, providing some room for error, the arrow tower's range is only 50 meters. If nothing unexpected happens, it'll be fine, but if something unexpected occurs like in the last wave, it will be quite troublesome.

The succubus girl used a gray arrow tower to wreak havoc, while Yang Fei and the higher-level white arrow towers could only watch helplessly, unable to provide support. Fortunately, the succubus girl was fierce enough to take down the three treasure chest monsters.

However, if the treasure chest monsters have different characteristics and are immune to strong crowd control after being hit, then the arrow towers will need to provide timely support and additional damage. But if the arrow towers are outside the attack range and cannot provide timely support, then cards that can change the monster's path become very important.
