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

Moreover, I now own three logging camps, which yield 30 units of timber per day. These 33 units of timber can be purchased for 33 copper coins at the Heavenly Dao Shop, and I only need to pay three workers a week for a total of three copper coins. This is a great way to make a profit!

"Two silver coins, one gray arrow tower card, three gray crystals, 88 pieces of bio-rubber, 120 copper coins, one white treasure chest, and two gray treasure chests. This time I got silver coins and an arrow tower card, but why are there only three crystals? It feels like a loss."

Objectively speaking, this wasn't a loss, since it only consumed the energy replenished by the white arrow towers themselves, without using any crystals. However, subjectively, Yang Fei wanted to accumulate more energy crystals for emergencies, so the fact that the drop rate didn't increase despite the increased number of monsters made him feel somewhat cheated.

This time, Yang Fei didn't restrict everyone's output during the defense, and the defensive towers didn't adopt the optimal kill strategy, so they were truly out of energy. Therefore, we must rest for an hour and wait for all the defensive towers to regenerate their energy before we can start the next wave.

Yang Fei was also a bit tired, so after telling everyone to go back and rest, he led the three new citizens, Li Han, Yue Lingling, and Wang Xueyao, to the foot of the city wall and explained the universal cultivation technique, "True Qi Technique," to them one by one.

Don't be fooled by the casual name of this universal cultivation method; it truly is the best cultivation method in the world.

The cultivation world Yang Fei lived in was very strange. Powerful cultivation techniques were often universal techniques. There was no situation where cultivating lost techniques was more powerful than these universal techniques, which was quite counterintuitive.

However, in Yang Fei's view, this should be common sense in the cultivation world. If your cultivation technique is really powerful and invincible, how could it be lost? Even if it is targeted because it is too powerful, such a powerful cultivation technique would not have been lost until now. It would either have been taken away or destroyed. There is absolutely no possibility that it would have been re-cultivated by someone after thousands of years.

This is a cultivation world where absolute suppression exists. Not to mention all sorts of strange techniques, the absolute power of high-level experts alone is enough to easily find so-called lost inheritances.

Especially powerful forces. Since these forces were able to kill practitioners of these powerful techniques, they must have such high-level cultivators among them. We've already discussed the absolute terror brought by hierarchical suppression; how could these people possibly allow such a lineage to exist?

Moreover, in this world of cultivation, there is never a universally applicable cultivation method. The more cultivation methods are passed down, the more they are like various mathematical formulas, each a version that has been continuously improved by brilliant predecessors.

Practicing these techniques is the quickest and simplest. In fact, these universal techniques are the strongest in the industry and the few solutions closest to the next level of cultivators. The fact that they are so widely spread must mean they have something unique about them.

As for why powerful forces and sects still exist in this world, it's even simpler. The cultivation techniques of these forces or sects are often based on common methods, but they possess unique resources. What they sell isn't cultivation techniques, but exclusive resources!

They often have their own developed methods to assist in cultivation, sacred places to protect their disciples, and masters who can answer cultivation questions.

These "resources" can help cultivators cultivate better, but to obtain them, one must pay a price, which naturally makes them powerful forces.

To put it simply, the cultivation of all realms is based on the same principle, which everyone understands. As long as you work hard enough and have enough talent, you can naturally become the strongest. The reason these powerful forces exist is not because they have any powerful cultivation techniques, but because they provide an auxiliary path for their subordinates, allowing them to reach the next step more quickly.

Yang Fei could explain all the key points of the True Qi Technique, but his own abilities were limited. He wasn't a professional teacher, so how much they could understand depended entirely on themselves. Yang Fei couldn't help them.

The three listened attentively, and even if they didn't understand something, they tried their best to write it down for future research.

"This cultivation technique should not be passed on to outsiders. It can only be practiced by lords and their people. Even if others learn it, it will be of little use to them because they have a very difficult time to sense the existence of Qi. Learning it would be a waste of their time."

"Moreover, cultivation is an expensive process that requires a lot of cultivation resources. Otherwise, even if the cultivation environment is the best, it will still take a long time to purify the true energy in the body. Even if you have the highest talent, this process will take years."

At this point, Yang Fei looked at the three people with different expressions, especially Li Han, whose expression was complicated and who seemed to be thinking about something.

His partner looked at his slightly protruding belly, equally preoccupied. Only Yue Lingling was diligently taking notes, pausing from time to time to think.

Yang Fei observed the three people and their three different mindsets.

Li Han wanted to quickly become powerful enough to reclaim the planet and solve the zombie crisis. However, becoming powerful not only required becoming a leader, but also, more importantly, required the most precious time. Unlike a normal game where you can level up by gaining experience, this was a rather troublesome matter.

The world that lacks time the most, how long can the survivors last? Those endless zombies destroyed a modern technological civilization in a very short time. Can they really become stronger before all of humanity is wiped out?

Pregnant woman Wang Xueyao may have lost all her relatives and reserved all her remaining love for the child in her womb, so she hesitated. To become strong enough to avenge her family and lover, she had to cultivate and fight, but in her current state, she was simply not capable of high-intensity combat.

As for Yue Lingling, she probably didn't think that much about it, because even if her home planet was recovered, she wouldn't be able to go back to live there. The price of being loyal to the death was that her soul was strongly bound to this sky island, or rather, to Lord Yang Fei, and she could never sever it.

"The three of you are now my subjects and enjoy the same privileges. You can eat food containing true energy every day at noon. Others may also become my subjects if they wish."

"But you have to work here to enjoy the same treatment as us. Otherwise, you'll only get normal food. And we're short on resources right now, so I can only guarantee one meal a day for each person."

After explaining all the key points of the "True Qi Technique," Yang Fei still reminded the three of a few necessary benefits. It wasn't about currying favor with these guys to gain their loyalty, but rather that Yang Fei felt he was being targeted by the Abyss. The subjects and soldiers he would recruit in the future would probably be demons, who would be good at fighting, but some tasks might only be able to be done by humans.

Therefore, acquiring human subjects is very important. Immigrants from the home planet are the primary source, but Yang Fei cannot recruit all immigrants from the home planet. This would easily lead to the formation of organizations or large groups.
