Chapter 73 I, the Light of the Beast
Lei Chi's words were quite astonishing. Ye Beifeng laughed heartily upon hearing them, while Hua Tianbao gave Lei Chi a thumbs up and said, "Direct enough, quite like my style back in the day."
Xiao Qinghe remained expressionless, narrowed her eyes slightly, and tilted her head back, saying, "Do I need you to protect me?"
Lei Chi, with an irritating expression, patted his chest and said, "Maybe one day, you really will need my protection!"
"impossible!"
Xiao Qinghe shook his head. He didn't want to talk to Lei Chi anymore. He said to Hua Tianbao, "Open the portal and finish the mission as soon as possible."
Hua Tianbao said, "There are still four people who haven't arrived!"
He silently sent messages to Lin Donglei and the others, telling them to hurry up. Fortunately, Lin Donglei and the other three were also planning to come over. In less than ten seconds, they arrived. All the players in the Beast Concentration Camp were now neatly organized into a team, and then they entered the mission map.
The mission map was exactly the same as the [Defense Tower Arena] map. The group appeared in a small camp with a king statue behind them.
At that moment, a regional announcement sounded: "Ding! A vicious invader is approaching! Please build defensive towers to protect the camp and the otherworldly farm!"
"Ding! In the current mission map, invaders will continuously spawn from the enemy camp, and the invaders will become stronger and stronger. You can obtain game currency by killing invaders, monsters, gathering resources in the wild, and completing random missions. With game currency, you can purchase defense tower construction blueprints and build defense towers."
"Ding! In the current map, the defensive towers built by players are not invincible. Their durability is one thousand times that of their tier, and they can be attacked by monsters or invaders!"
"Ding! If you successfully repel the invaders' attack for two hours, the mission is complete, and your guild will have an otherworldly farm. If the king's statue is destroyed by the invaders within two hours, the mission fails!"
"Ding! The mission cannot be restarted after failure!"
"Ding! Destroying the king's statue in the invaders' camp will end the mission early. Each participating player will receive an additional 10 guild contribution points after the mission is ended early."
"Ding, the intruder will enter the battlefield in 30 seconds. Please prepare for battle."
Upon hearing the system notification, Lei Chi thought to himself, "Isn't this just a AI version of the Tower Defense Arena? It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Xiao Qinghe said, "The task is simple, so feel free to use your skills. There are three lanes and three minion waves. I'll take care of the mid lane, and you guys just need to defend the top and bottom lanes. The invaders in front are relatively weak, so you can roam around the jungle, farm jungle camps, complete quests, and look for treasure chests, etc. In short, those who can develop should do so as much as possible, and those who can't should group up. Don't be clever and rush into the enemy camp. If you don't clear the minions, the enemy camp's defensive towers will have a buff and can kill you instantly."
Hua Tianbao continued, "Then let's do as the Right Protector says. Bei Yan and I will guard the top lane; the two of us are enough. Lei Chi, you take those four weaklings and guard the bottom lane!"
"Alright!" Lei Chi nodded, then waved to Lin Donglei and the other three, saying, "Let's go, follow me into the jungle to farm and complete quests!"
Lei Chi didn't think the task was difficult. Although he wasn't very familiar with the terrain of the wilderness, the locations of various monster strongholds, the spawn points of quest NPCs, gathering points, and resource chest spawn points, he immediately understood the gameplay.
Lin Donglei was particularly obedient at this time, following every instruction without question, and truly stayed behind Lei Chi.
Lei Chi brought up the minimap, still with the mindset of familiarizing himself with the map. He led Lin Donglei and the other three into the wilderness area and soon discovered a monster stronghold.
This monster stronghold has one level 5 goblin and two level 3 slimes, making it a small stronghold.
"The monster spawn points on the map seem to be fixed. Take a look at the minimap and remember the location of each spawn point; it will be useful when you fight in the arena later. Now, everyone, let's go!"
Lei Chi rallied the group, and they quickly killed the three little monsters, collecting a total of 11 game coins.
All 11 game coins were in Lei Chi's hands. The monsters in the monster stronghold could respawn after three minutes. Lei Chi naturally wouldn't just stand by and wait. He led Lin Donglei and the other three to continue teaming up to hunt monsters. They took down three more small monster strongholds in a row, accumulating less than 40 game coins in total.
At this moment, the enemy camp has begun to deploy troops, and an area announcement sounds: "Within 10 minutes, 300 LV1 infantrymen will launch an invasion of the Otherworld Farm. Each infantryman has 100 health points and 1 attack power. Killing one will earn you one game coin. Please prepare your defense."
"300 infantrymen, that's 100 on each road. If they all spawn in 10 minutes, that means only 10 spawn per minute on average..."
Lei Chi thought for a moment, then said to Lin Donglei and the others, "Who is willing to defend the bottom lane?"
"I!"
"And me!"
Lin Donglei and Yang Taiyang raised their hands to sign up, and Lei Chi then sent them to defend the bottom lane.
By this time, Li Tianming and Lu Xiaoman had basically figured out how to play, so they separated from Lei Chi and went to farm in the wild, which would help them accumulate game currency faster.
Everything was peaceful. Five minutes later, Lei Chi accumulated 100 game coins and immediately bought a defense tower construction blueprint. This blueprint was randomly generated based on the player's camp defense tower situation. Lei Chi received the [Big Tiger Construction Blueprint].
He used the "Big Tiger Construction Blueprints" directly on a slime stronghold.
这个据点中的野怪配置是5头LV3的绿皮史莱姆、3头LV4的泥沼史莱姆、2头LV5的牛角史莱姆，尽数击杀后可以得到37枚游戏币。
Slimes have extremely poor stats. Even a level 5 horned slime only has 50 HP, so a tiger can basically kill it with one swipe.
Lei Chi placed the giant tiger in this monster stronghold, which essentially became a camper. Since the monsters spawned every three minutes, the giant tiger could farm 37 game coins every three minutes. Given the weak slime's attack power, the giant tiger, with its 2,000 durability points, could probably last for an hour without any problem.
"Investing in a big tiger will easily earn you over 500 game coins, a return of more than 5 times! That's impressive!"
Lei Chi silently calculated, and then he continued to use this method to capture small monster strongholds with the Beast Tower.
A few moments later, after the 300 infantrymen were spawned, the opposite camp immediately spawned 300 level 2 spearmen, which were also spawned within ten minutes.
After the LV2 spearmen are defeated, the next wave of LV3 artillerymen will appear, followed by swordsmen, shieldmen, and big swordsmen, and so on. Each wave lasts for ten minutes and consists of 300 soldiers.
Overall, the game wasn't too difficult. Lin Donglei and his team built defensive towers in the bottom lane, including [Porcupine] and [Hydralisk], so the defensive pressure wasn't too great.
An hour after the mission began, Lei Chi had already used the Beast Tower to occupy 12 small monster strongholds in the wilderness, which was almost a quarter of the small monster strongholds on the entire map.
In this way, Lei Chi doesn't have to do anything; the Beast Tower automatically farms the jungle, providing him with an average of 100 game coins per minute.
100 game coins make one defense tower!
Lei Chi stopped staying in the jungle and went to the bottom lane to join Lin Donglei and the others in building their turrets together for a fierce defense.
At this point, the speed at which you can earn in-game currency by killing invading minions is also quite fast.
I've saved up another 100 gold coins, and I bought the blueprint for the defensive tower at Leichi. This time, I finally got the blueprint for the Azure Dragon.
Lei Chi placed this three-tiered tower on the bottom lane, which naturally drew envy from Lin Donglei and the others.
"The second-in-command has a three-tiered tower!"
"As expected of the second-in-command!"
"No way, Second Boss, are you really a master?!"
"What do I do about this azure dragon? I want one too!"
Lei Chi stood with his hands behind his back, feeling quite content, and said, "I, the Light of Beasts, am not a name I've earned lightly. It's just that I'm a low-key person and don't like to show off. For example, have I ever mentioned to anyone that I possess a third-tier beast, the Azure Dragon?"
