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

Kitchenware and farming tools are common items, and can only be used by one person at a time. If the people need them, they need to purchase other items through the Heavenly Path Shop. The lord just needs to prepare the currency and bring up the system panel. There's not much to say about that.

The only interesting thing is that among that set of pots and pans, there is a gray-quality fishing rod and a box of gray-quality earthworms, which are a kind of pastime given to the lords by the Heavenly Dao when they are bored.

Standing on the edge of the sky island, you can fish out of the void with your fishing rod and catch some fish that you've never seen on Azure Star, or other things. You can sell them to the Heavenly Dao Shop to get some currency.

This can be considered a way for lords to make money in the early stages when they don't want to launch another wave of attacks but don't have the resources to buy defensive towers to improve their strength. Although it's not very efficient, they can still earn some coins and don't have to wait anxiously for their daily minimum allowance.

It is said that this thing did not exist at the beginning. It only started to appear after the concept of "daily minimum living allowance to survive for a month" was proposed. According to this reasoning, the intelligence of Tiandao AI far exceeds human expectations. It can be said that it will do anything to have fun.

While the daily allowance system might not make the AI ​​in the tower defense world feel like it's being exploited, some scholars believe it prefers players who strive to survive rather than those lords who spend their days scheming to get something for nothing.

According to feedback from some lords in the past two years, the more you slack off and the less you want to improve yourself, the stronger the monsters attacking your sky island will become. There are even cases where you were eliminated in the first year for slacking off, and then you were quickly eliminated for some inexplicable reason after entering again in the second year. Although it cannot be directly proven that the Heavenly Dao AI has intervened, some people may have really been blacklisted.

Arrow Tower (White): 10000 HP, 50-meter range, 100 attack points. With sufficient energy in the current Sky Island level environment, it can store 100 arrows, which are replenished after one hour out of combat. It can be directly replenished with gray or white energy crystals. It can attack automatically after placement or be controlled by the lord.

Looking at the two white cards in his hand, Yang Fei once again entered a god-like perspective, placing the basic arrow tower on either side of the tentacle tower. His vision returned, and a flash of white light appeared before him; two ten-meter-high cylinders, entirely constructed of stone, rose from the ground.

From the outside, the two arrow towers were noticeably smaller than the tentacle tower. Yang Fei looked up at the top of the arrow tower, where there was a simple tower with an automatically rotating crossbow inside, which looked rather bulky.

Because the environment is rich in energy, unlike the Tentacle Tower which absorbs energy in a silent state, it actively guards its surroundings. Once a monster gets close, it will automatically attack, which is quite intelligent.

Yang Fei picked and chose among farm tools and kitchen utensils, finally selecting a pot lid and a spatula. He used the pot lid as a shield and the spatula as a weapon to harass the monsters. This was considered the best combination for trainee lords to clear the first wave of the game.

Trainee lords with greater strength and stamina might directly wield hoes. Although they don't deal much damage, they are still imposing and can play a role in restraining the enemy. After all, the monsters in the first ten waves of beginners have little interest in defensive towers and lords and will only rush straight for the core thatched hut.

"The first wave usually only consists of three types: slimes, slime, and sprites. Among them, slime have the slowest movement speed, allowing the two defensive towers to unleash their full damage. Although they can't be killed by a single arrow, there are only about fifty of them on easy difficulty. The lord doesn't even need to go into battle; the two arrow towers can easily kill them, making it the easiest."

The downside is that it can't kill with one arrow; it requires two. If you go to Normal, Hard, Extreme, or even Double Extreme mode, the arrows stored in the two arrow towers may not be enough, and you'll need to replenish them with precious energy crystals, which is not very cost-effective.

The sprites are the fastest, and the two arrow towers may not be able to keep up with their output frequency, so the lord needs to personally come in to harass them. The advantage is that they are fragile, and even in the doubled limit mode, the white arrow tower can kill them with one arrow.

As for slimes, their movement speed is a compromise between the two. As long as the lord interferes a little, two arrow towers can kill them in the War Corridor. The downside is that the drop rate is somewhat worrying.

"My body is somewhat malnourished, and my stamina is not up to par. I haven't entered the Qi Sensing Realm to repair my body, so I need resources to cultivate. Considering everything, the Little Elf is the worst choice, and the Slime is the best."

After analyzing the situation, Yang Fei took a deep breath and began to pray that the slime monsters would appear. That way, he wouldn't have to fight in the first wave of easy difficulty, and he could still collect enough resources every day. He would be very happy.

"Start the trial!" After finishing his prayer, Yang Fei did not hesitate and immediately brought up the panel.

"Understood, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1, the first wave of your beginner trial, the easy difficulty monster siege, will begin in ten minutes. Monster type: Slime, Monster level: Beast, Level 0, Monster quantity: 51."

As that neutral voice rang in Yang Fei's mind again, a blue gate slowly rose in the void a hundred meters outside Yang Fei's Sky Island. A dirt path slowly emerged from the gate and quickly connected to Yang Fei's Sky Island.

Then, five white, attribute-less war slabs rose from the void on each side of the dirt path, and Yang Fei was once again forced into the lord's exclusive God's-eye view.

Yang Fei was speechless. Although he had heard that entering tower defense mode would forcibly change the perspective, this was too sudden. He hadn't even seen the changes happening on the field before he was forcibly dragged in. If it was like this every time, he would have to train his eyesight.

"Please adjust the position of the War Stone and place the defensive towers you wish to use. Note: If a defensive tower placed on a War Stone is destroyed by monsters, it can only be rebuilt after that wave of monsters has finished attacking the city, costing a small amount of currency. Destroyed defensive towers in other positions can never be rebuilt."

"At the same time, during the monster siege, the building and tile movement functions of the core thatched hut will be temporarily disabled, and the defensive towers on both sides of the War Corridor will be prohibited from being moved. The movement and reconstruction functions will be restarted after the siege ends."

Without hesitation, Yang Fei positioned the two white-quality war slabs on either side of the middle of the dirt path, then placed the only two white arrow towers on them, one on the left and one on the right, for a more symmetrical look. The arrow towers had a range of 50 meters, while the initial war corridor had no bends and was only 100 meters long. These two positions were just enough to ensure that the two arrow towers could fire at full power.

Once everything was ready, Yang Fei returned to his perspective and looked at the prompt on the blue gate in the distance. He sighed softly. Although he had expected it, he still didn't expect that he would get slimes in the first wave.

Even though it's not the lowest-ranking sprite, there are still 51 monsters, one more than usual. Is this randomness?
