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

However, Yang Fei disagreed. Since the normal mode was easy to complete, he suggested that everyone should gain experience so that the ground forces could quickly hone their combat capabilities.

Normal tower defense can't rely on just one person. Defense is something the entire Sky Island needs to work on. When defense is easy and the battle lines aren't so tense, everyone should gain experience and improve together to go further.

Standing in the center of the war corridor, Yang Fei got into position and threw a full-force punch at a slime that was about to jump. The moment his fist touched the slime, Yang Fei felt a chill. Then, right before Yang Fei's eyes, the slime was blasted away and landed on the war corridor. It bounced back and forth a few times along the ground, and its health dropped slightly.

Yang Fei looked at his fist, felt nothing, and wasn't injured. So he rushed forward and punched and kicked the slime until its health was depleted and it vanished.

"Congratulations, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1! You have successfully completed the first wave of the Novice Trial on Hard difficulty and obtained a basic building card - Quarry. It has been sent to your system space. Please place it in time."

"Please note... five minutes remaining in the countdown."

Yang Fei, still in high spirits after killing three ordinary slimes with a flurry of punches, was about to look for the next slime when he heard a familiar voice in his ear. Helpless, he stopped and led his ground troops back to the sky island.

"I also need to learn some complete martial arts techniques. Back in school, I mainly practiced archery because I was relatively weak. Now that I've become a martial artist, I'm much stronger, so I need to learn some close combat skills as well."

After putting everything away, Yang Fei didn't return to the thatched hut this time. Instead, he went up to the city tower and skillfully lay down in Mona's arms.

"Agricultural tools, transportation tools, communication tools, and now I have to learn martial arts. There are so many things to do. It's really troublesome. If the tools are really not enough, there's always the Heavenly Dao Shop as a backup, but martial arts are more troublesome. The Heavenly Dao Shop doesn't sell martial arts skills right now."

Finding a comfortable position, Yang Fei closed his eyes, deciding to temporarily put aside such troublesome matters. Compared to being able to continuously challenge the next wave, these things weren't so urgent. He could consider them later when he was truly too tired to continue.

"This time I got 3 silver coins, 6 gray crystals, 1 gray arrow tower card, 1 gray ice arrow tower card, 266 pieces of bio rubber, 312 copper coins, 1 white treasure chest, and 2 gray treasure chests. Not bad."

Without much hesitation, Yang Fei took out the three treasure chests. This time, Yang Fei didn't say anything, but simply lay comfortably in the succubus girl's arms. Mona understood and gently kicked the three treasure chests away one by one.

The white treasure chest still contained a gold coin and a white war slab, a familiar sight indeed. It seems that the last time an arrow tower appeared was a low-probability event, making it difficult for Yang Fei to collapse!

As for the gray treasure chest that kept surprising Yang Fei, it also yielded a lot this time: two silver coins and two gray arrow tower cards. He had already accumulated quite a few gray arrow tower cards, but their usefulness was really mediocre. It would be better to exchange them for silver coins at the corresponding market price.

Putting all of this away, Yang Fei yawned, forcing himself to endure his exhaustion, and built the quarry as a basic reward. Now Yang Fei's Sky Island has three quarries and three logging camps.

Aside from the lumberyard built this afternoon and the quarry just built, the other four should be able to collect enough resources by the end of the day. The income of 32 wood and 20 stone is actually not bad.

Using the new War Stone Card, Yang Fei slowly closed his eyes, circulated his internal energy, cultivated while resting, waiting for each defensive tower to replenish its energy, preparing to fight the last wave of the day as planned, then start his daily quest, and finally go to sleep.

Yang Fei hadn't had a proper rest during the previous month's school break, and then after entering the tower defense world for a day and a night, he only got a few hours of rest. Then he broke through to the martial artist level, and he had to constantly assess the battlefield situation during each wave of defense. His energy was really running out.

I'll probably be busy until after midnight after finishing my daily tasks tonight, and then there's a big battle with a succubus girl waiting for me. I'm really not going to be able to handle it. I have to take every opportunity to rest, otherwise I might really become a lazybones tomorrow.

On May 1st, Year 8 of the Tower Defense Era, at 10:50 PM, Yang Fei woke up precisely in the arms of the succubus girl. Looking at his already assembled subordinates, he didn't hesitate much and immediately launched the next wave.

"Understood, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1, the first wave of your beginner trial, the extreme difficulty monster siege, will begin in ten minutes. Monster type: Slime, Monster level: Beast, Level 0, Monster quantity: 2234."

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

Seeing the 2234 monsters displayed on the blue door, Yang Fei was no longer as relaxed as before. Although this wave of slime siege was still not enough to compare with the previous 10 times limit in terms of quantity and quality, this number was still a bit too exaggerated compared to normal circumstances.

"I remember the last wave of 10x extreme monsters was about 10 times the normal extreme difficulty. This has far exceeded the principle that the number of monsters in extreme mode does not change much. If this continues, I estimate that this wave of 10x extreme mode will have nearly 20,000 monsters."

Yang Fei was having a bit of a headache. Although the more monsters there were, the easier it seemed for him to get, Yang Fei was always worried about one thing: what if the Ice Slime stopped appearing?

My ability to easily clear the game is almost entirely due to the succubus girl's outstanding performance, using the explosion of the Ice Slime to trigger a chain reaction and kill enemies in large numbers. But what if this prerequisite is no longer available?

"The Slime King's Gaze... If the mastermind behind all this is truly a Slime King, then he must possess a certain level of intelligence to discover my weakness. As long as the self-destructing slimes stop appearing, my Sky Island will be utterly vulnerable." Yang Fei looked at the succubus girl who was finally able to wreak havoc, and a faint sense of unease rose in his heart.

"We still need to save up some silver coins as much as possible to buy more defensive towers. Ground troops also need to gain experience, and we also need to accumulate some stone. If we can't hold the war corridor, then we'll retreat to the city gate."

After Yang Fei punched an ordinary slime into the black swamp, he looked at the blue door in the left corridor, fighting while simultaneously pondering the next steps of the Sky Island's defense plan.

"Right now, the War Corridor only leads to the city gate. Slimes can't fly or jump over the city walls. As long as there are enough stones, we can use the city walls' health to tank the damage and clear the level."
