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

"As for the other half, it's our living expenses here. If no supplies drop, he'll only give us one meal a day until our residents can create corresponding value, which is the rice porridge we're eating today. Joining his sky island and becoming his subjects, even without work, is still one meal a day, only it's real rice."

"At the same time, we need to send attraction teams and search teams between the two worlds. As the name suggests, the attraction teams are responsible for attracting zombies and leading them into the war corridor, while the search teams need to search for supplies in that world, mainly production tools, various seeds, raw materials, etc. They will also buy our supplies at half price."

After Yue Lingling finished explaining these agreements, she stopped talking and looked at the temporary command center.

Li Han remained silent throughout, only asking one question after listening: "How many people can the lord accept?"

This is a crucial question. If the lord only needs young people, or even people like him who can quickly form a fighting force, then the elderly, women, and children in the settlement will probably have to be relocated first.

"Everyone, everyone in our settlement." Yue Lingling took a deep breath and slowly relayed the lord's order.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell the company commander and the others." Li Han was a little skeptical when he heard Yue Lingling's words, but when he saw Yue Lingling's tense expression gradually turn into a smile, a kind of relaxation, not just pretending to relax, but a genuine relaxation from the inside out, Li Han knew that she was not joking.

After Yue Lingling brought them here, she talked to Li Han about her past and her speculations about the laws of civilization advancement. Li Han was furious at the time. He really didn't expect that such a thing existed in the civilized society he lived in. So Li Han understood Yue Lingling's mentality. Speaking like this in front of outsiders with such a relaxed attitude, she couldn't be lying.

"I'll go back with you. Meanwhile, we need to quickly assemble a flanking team. That lord only gave us the authority to use the defensive towers to kill zombies at night, and each arrow tower can only spawn a fixed number of monsters at a time, depending on how much health the zombies have after being quantified. It takes an hour to restore energy, so we have to hurry."

Yue Lingling caught up with Li Han, who was heading towards the city gate, and continued, "At the same time, the lord requires us to ensure that all the defensive towers are fully charged by 8:00 AM, so no matter how many zombies we attract, we can only work until 7:00 AM."

"Alright!" Without hesitation, the two quickly passed through the city gate and arrived at the war corridor that had already been raised. The red door on the left side of the war corridor had reappeared. Almost without hesitation, the two entered this otherworldly door directly.

At 7 a.m., Yang Fei groggily woke up in the succubus's arms. Seeing Mona still asleep, Yang Fei did not disturb the succubus. He carefully got dressed and returned to the real world.

After having breakfast with his family, Yang Fei went out to "work" as planned. In reality, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and went to a small alley without surveillance cameras. When no one was watching, he entered his own floating island again.

It was already 7:40 a.m., and the succubus girl was already dressed. She directed the lesser demons to move the white rice that Yang Fei had stored out of the warehouse and start cooking porridge for the refugees in the territory.

Looking at the densely packed makeshift tents and the various crowds coming and going near the city wall in the distance, Yang Fei was stunned for a moment, then remembered what had happened, and so he came to the cooking place of the lesser demons.

"Lord, we have received a total of 5676 refugees from other worlds, most of whom are relatively young students. Including the previous 213, the entire Sky Island now has a total of 5889 refugees from other worlds, including the three who have already been converted, Yue Lingling and the others."

When the succubus girl saw Yang Fei coming over, she naturally introduced him to him. At the same time, she had two lesser demons each bring over a gray treasure chest and opened it.

"These are the items dropped by those zombies. So far, it seems there are only copper coins and flax." The succubus girl pointed to the supplies in the two treasure chests. Yang Fei had just recovered from the sudden appearance of the huge crowd when his eyes were drawn to the items in the two treasure chests.

"Those zombies are clearly similar to slimes in terms of attributes, both within one hit range of the arrow tower, but the drop rate is completely different. We killed nearly three thousand zombies, and this is all we got."

The succubus looked at the items in the box and explained to Yang Fei with a disdainful expression that this was all the loot they had collected that night. The unfamiliar dropped item—flax—was a basic material similar to bio-rubber and could be used to make clothes in the future.

However, just like bio-rubber, it's not very useful now; the only other items available are copper coins.

The first kill yielded only these two items. There were no rare items like arrow tower cards or gray crystals; it was basically all the drops. Compared to a normal monster siege, this loot was almost negligible.

Yang Fei didn't say anything, but simply collected the items from the two treasure chests with one click, immediately obtaining the amount of copper coins and flax: 212 copper coins and 109 units of flax. Compared to the number of three thousand zombies, this amount was indeed rather small, with a drop rate of only one in ten.

However, Yang Fei was quite satisfied. At least it was much better than the worst-case scenario where nothing was lost. Even if half of the money was used to buy supplies for the refugees, he would still make a profit.

After all, this harvest was something he gained without working for it, a result of his AFK farming while he slept and rested on the entire sky island. The harvest was actually quite good. If he were to crave other rare items, Yang Fei wouldn't feel entirely at ease sleeping.

After all, half of those rare items are from elite monsters, and he would have to pay extra attention to them then. Now that they are just ordinary items, Yang Fei can focus on farming monsters without worry.

"As you instructed, we took out 60 catties of white rice and cooked it into porridge as basic necessities for them. As for the reward of half of these supplies, we will have to wait and see how the people who joined the Sky Island perform today before we can calculate the amount."

"However, even if we calculate based on the most basic cost of one copper coin per ordinary resource, and deduct the Heavenly Path Shop's commission, we will need to pay them at least 150 catties of white rice today," the succubus girl said, adjusting her glasses and speaking with unusual seriousness.

"Yes, you did the right thing. We'll talk about the exact number after the people who joined us finish their work today. The basic supplies from this morning, plus half of the supplies and the wages of the people, are enough for them to support so many people."

Yang Fei did the math in his mind. Even if we disregard the basic 60 jin of rice, and even if we consider the 150 jin of rice as a reward for half of the supplies, the two combined would hardly be enough to meet the needs of more than 5,000 people for three meals a day. In fact, it would be far from sufficient.
