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

Stepping out of the thatched hut, which now had two bedrooms and a living room, Yang Fei looked at the refugee area in the distance. Compared to before, their complexions were noticeably better. It seemed that the succubus girl had faithfully carried out his orders.

As Yang Fei slowly walked up to the city wall, he looked out into the endless void and spoke softly to the succubus girl who was already following behind him: "Gather the soldiers and prepare to meet the second wave of monsters attacking the city."

In the first three waves of monster sieges during the beginner assessment, the monster levels of the four basic difficulty levels will not increase; they will remain level 0 beasts.

Moreover, it's a level 0 beast without any extreme mode stat bonuses, and most importantly, the monster count has been reset. With Yang Fei's current combat strength on Sky Island, defending this second wave of easy difficulty is a piece of cake.

Soon, the five tentacle jellyfish and 20 inferior demons had gathered. Without hesitation, Yang Fei immediately launched the second wave of easy-difficulty monster siege.

"Understood, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1, the second wave of your Novice Trial, Easy Difficulty Monster Siege, will begin in ten minutes. Monster type: Slime, Monster level: Beast, Level 0, Monster quantity: 166."

"Please adjust the position of the War Slab... The movement and reconstruction functions will be restarted after the siege ends."

Seeing the number of monsters on the blue door, Yang Fei nodded. It was about what he expected. Normally, the number of monsters in the second wave of easy difficulty sieges is 100. With the new random rules and his sky island already upgraded to level 4, this number was acceptable.

This time, Yang Fei had the succubus girl lead the two tentacle jellyfish that had followed him to the three white arrow towers. Yang Fei didn't need to fully control them; he only needed to control their output frequency to make it easier for them to gain experience and level up.

As the Slime King's Gaze and Slime King's Steal were activated, elite slimes also appeared, but their numbers were quite limited. In addition, their health was all below the arrow tower's one-hit limit, so the succubus girl didn't need to focus all her attention on them.

With ample energy, Yang Fei's white arrow towers would automatically attack elite units, so naturally, the succubus girl needed a good rest.

After the elites appeared, it was time for the treasure chest monsters again. This time, there were still one white and two gray ones. After the succubus girl shot each of them with an arrow, Yang Fei led the remaining tentacle jellyfish forward and used punches and kicks to completely kill them.

Since the tentacle monsters' attack power is insufficient to break through the mimic's defense, their main purpose is to control these mimics that are injured and unable to move again, so that Yang Fei can unleash his full damage potential.

Although Yang Fei's attack power was relatively low, he could at least break through the defenses. With the three arrow towers occasionally firing an arrow to continue controlling the treasure chest monsters, Yang Fei and his group successfully got through this wave in less than 15 minutes.

Yang Fei, Mona, and the tentacle monster—seven combat units in total—all managed to get kills this time, finally gaining some experience points. Such opportunities are rare and must be seized, especially on the hardest difficulty. If you want to gain experience points, you'll need to reconsider your tower defense strategy, which is not worth the effort.

Actually, there's another way to gain experience: farming zombies on Qianwu Star, but that's a bit of a hassle.

Furthermore, Yang Fei wasn't quite sure about the strength of the zombies in that world. However, since those zombies could be killed by ordinary people before they were quantified, they probably weren't too strong. So the question is, did those zombies drop experience or items?

Don't waste your time refreshing the page only to find that not a single word has appeared. Yang Fei doesn't have the energy to save the world from falling right now; breaking through a few more waves of monster attacks is the key.

"I'll see what difficulty level I can clear in the second wave later, and then try it after clearing today's daily challenge. As long as I get experience, that's a win. I don't care about anything else." Putting those thoughts aside for the moment, Yang Fei looked at his harvest this time.

"3 gray crystals, 66 copper coins, 36 bio rubber, one white treasure chest, and two gray treasure chests. The harvest is not bad, but this time there are no silver coins or arrow tower cards, which is a bit unusual."

After collecting all the spoils, Yang Fei didn't rush to open the treasure chests. Instead, he turned his attention to the basic reward of this monster siege—the warehouse construction card. This was a good thing, a kind of system warehouse in its own right.

Warehouse (Initial): Resilience 2000, Defense 20, Magic Resistance 0. It is a basic building in the territory. It can be rebuilt at a cost after being destroyed, but the upgrade process needs to be restarted. It can store items and has a certain preservation ability. At present, it can store 10 kinds of materials, and each material can be stored in no more than 100 units.

Warehouse (Upgradeable): Upgraded to level 2 by spending 100 copper coins, 100 wood, 100 stone, and 10 iron ingots. This increases the number of types of materials that can be stored to 15 and the maximum stacking capacity to 200 units.

Note that this is a basic building and currently has no color quality. However, its upgrade limit can be increased as the core building is upgraded. Once the corresponding level is reached, its quality can be improved, which will further enhance the item preservation ability, as well as significantly increase the maximum health and defense, thus enhancing the ability to resist attacks.

Seeing the barrel-shaped building before him, roughly the same size as the core thatched hut but completely encased in rock, Yang Fei felt a sense of comfort. He quickly approached it and, seeing only a small doorway large enough for one person to pass through, became even happier.

Fewer entrances mean fewer guards. Although no one can enter the warehouse without Yang Fei's permission, from a reassurance perspective, fewer entrances and exits are naturally better.

Moreover, the types of items this thing can hold and its stacking limit are basically the same as your initial system space, making it a weakened version of your system space. However, you can have multiple of these things, and after upgrading, they can even be considered one of the important buildings, so they are undeniably important.

Although the upgrade requires consumables and the preservation ability is relatively poor, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The consumables are completely acceptable. As for the poor preservation ability, it is not necessary to use it to store items with short shelf lives. It is not unacceptable, but just that it has not been used well.

Taking advantage of the current high enthusiasm and the relatively abundant energy of most defensive towers, Yang Fei was preparing to launch the next wave of monster sieges when he saw a figure even smaller than himself quickly approach him.

"My lord, do you need any more crossbowmen?" Yue Lingling bowed humbly to Yang Fei and asked softly. Yang Fei could tell that the girl was a little nervous.

Looking at the wounded soldier who was waiting in the distance, Yang Fei thought for a moment and finally nodded.

There's no way around it. Even if I don't want these people to come and freeload, as the lord, I have to find something for them to do. I can't let them eat and drink for free, otherwise it will be difficult to manage my sky island.
