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

By then, I will be able to buy a lot of these not-so-precious charging slabs at market price, which is much more cost-effective than the Heavenly Path Shop. I can purchase another batch then. Right now, it is the right thing to do to prioritize using precious resources to purchase more defensive towers!

Next, Yang Fei looked at the other items in the succubus girl's hand: a green coin, 10 gold coins, two green cards, and a fist-sized green stone. After thinking for a moment, Yang Fei picked up the two cards first.

Gold coins go without saying, but green coins should be the guaranteed reward of this gift pack. They are a higher-level currency and you can't do without them. You should check the other items first before collecting these basic rewards.

In addition, the stone looked quite precious. The previous Secret Realm Stone and Core Stone were like that, and both of them gave Yang Fei endless surprises. So this surprise should naturally be saved for last. Yang Fei naturally wanted to look at these two relatively not too precious green cards first.

Yang Fei took the two green cards, and the information displayed surprised him. It was an old acquaintance. They were the same green-quality leader recruitment cards he had obtained from the Angel's Secret Realm before. Both their functions and appearance were exactly the same as the ones he had obtained before.

Citizen Recruitment Card (Green Common): Can be placed in the Citizen Recruitment Hut, replacing fifty recruitment opportunities, randomly recruiting fifty refugees from various realms.

Remember, it's a random recruitment. While they are grateful to you, you, as the lord, need to treat these poor refugees seriously and increase their loyalty.

"What I have in abundance right now is people. What use is this to me? Unless I can get two more succubus-level fighters, it's really not worth it. After all, there are already enough people on the Sky Island."

Yang Fei pinched the bridge of his nose, looking somewhat distressed. Why did it have to be this thing? Right now, the last thing he needed was people.

Although the nearly 6 refugees outside are not his own people, Yang Fei can obtain a lot of normal people's labor force every day with very few resources if he wants to, so there is no shortage of people.

"Furthermore, the number of defensive towers that require human operation will not increase significantly in the near future. We have enough manpower now, and we simply cannot afford to support too many more people."

Unless this thing can recruit real combat power, such as soldiers with attributes, or the tentacle jellyfish under Yang Fei's command, Yang Fei will recruit them without hesitation. As for ordinary citizens, such as inferior demons and burrowing beasts, they are completely useless now!

Yang Fei wouldn't even dare to dream of such a super prize as a succubus girl. He strongly suspected that he recruited the succubus girl not because he was lucky, but because the succubus girl was a guaranteed reward for the first recruitment.

Although the information on Tower Defense World lacks such summaries, since the first kill of each new monster will drop the highest-level reward, Yang Fei has good reason to suspect that there is also this guaranteed reward mechanism when randomly recruiting people for the first time.

However, because these guaranteed rewards are generally not directly related to combat power, but mostly belong to special roles such as steward, scientific research, or logistics, they have not been clearly summarized. After all, in the early stages, lords only need to focus on tower defense. Managing the sky island, farming, and cultivating immortality are things that can only be done after becoming a formal lord!

Of course, there is also the most important point, which is that True Qi Rice is not very scarce now. If we recruit more inferior demons as subjects, Yang Fei cannot guarantee that he will treat them equally. After all, there are very few ways to obtain True Qi Rice now, or to put it simply, it can only be obtained daily.

However, the daily acquisition is actually fixed. As for other normal methods, that is farming. However, True Qi Rice takes at least a full year to grow, and unlocking True Qi Rice and True Qi Rice seeds in the Heavenly Dao Shop requires upgrading to level 10, which is too far away.

Tentacle jellyfish must consume True Qi Rice, and although the Lesser Demon describes them as needing only one meal to be satiated, Yang Fei simply couldn't bring himself to do it.

It's not that Yang Fei wanted to feed these inferior demons Qi rice; after all, he himself was reluctant to eat it, so how could he let others enjoy it? But as a lord, he had to ensure appropriate fairness at times.

Especially in the early stages of building a team, even if you're unwilling, you should still make a grand promise to your subordinates while trying to ensure fairness. This way, they will follow you, your reputation will grow, and you will be able to achieve great things in the future!

As mentioned earlier, a normal lord needs to cherish his subjects. One of the reasons is that he can become a legitimate great lord in the future. This process of accumulating reputation usually takes a year or even several years. That is, every time the True Qi Rice matures, you have to go through the year-end test with your subjects before you can move on to the next step.

Yang Fei's development was too rapid for various reasons, and his basic strength couldn't keep up. In addition, the Sky Island lacked resources, and basic resources such as gold coins, crystals, and magic cores were in short supply. There was no time to plant True Qi Rice, and there wasn't even a single house for residents. He simply couldn't take care of too many people.

If it weren't for the absolute loyalty of those abyssal creatures, Yang Fei would have been genuinely afraid that his subordinates would secretly plot against him. This wasn't impossible; it had actually happened before and was firmly recorded in "Tower Defense World."

However, when it comes to absolute loyalty, Yang Fei might really be able to gamble that the people he recruits next will still have full favorability. If abyssal species appear again, especially inferior demons, which can eat anything.

Yang Fei might actually be able to make this somewhat unfair decision. There's no other way; with full favorability and the succubus girl's mid-level demon bloodline, these inferior demons, no matter how dissatisfied they are, cannot go against his will!

Yang Fei put away the two leader recruitment cards for the time being and decided to check the remaining rewards first. Even if he could recruit leaders who looked like succubi, he would still need to check the other rewards first.

Yang Fei took the small stone that he had his eye on from the succubus girl. He felt a strange sense of familiarity. What was going on? Why did this stone feel so similar to the two core stones he had used not long ago?

Sky Island Core Stone (Green): A special product after a sky island has completely fallen. It can only be dropped by destroying the core building of the sky island or the world core. It is a core item for expanding the sky island. After use, it can extend the radius of the sky island by 50,000 meters.

Sky Island Core Stone (Rare): This Sky Island Core Stone originated from an adventurous lord. After use, the expanded sky island area will no longer be an endless plain, but will randomly spawn various types of terrain and various types of non-attribute plants and animals. The lord can freely adjust these terrains and the distribution of plants and animals through the core building.

Note: This core stone is of green quality and can only be used on sky islands of green quality or lower. Blue quality sky islands can only expand by 5,000 meters after using it, while purple quality and above sky islands are useless.
