Tower Defense Lord, random Wishing Tower at the start of the game.

Chapter 36: News of the Dragon Egg

Emerging from the secret realm.

Lin Chuan's reputation value reached 6510.

Two of the conditions for advancing to LV8 have been met.

"Only one monster lair with a population of over 1000 remains to be breached."

"This is not very difficult."

"It will be finished by dawn."

The main use of reputation is for promotion in rank.

To be promoted from a lord to a baron, 10000 reputation points are required to unlock the promotion quest.

Each time you open it, your reputation will be completely depleted, and if the mission fails, your reputation will not be returned.

"Enter the difficult dungeon one more time, and the reputation required for the title promotion will be sufficient."

At that moment, Lia walked over.

"My lord."

"As you instructed."

"All the good equipment was selected and stored in the warehouse."

"Should all unused or damaged items be listed for sale in the online store?"

"There are also two purple-grade items among them."

After the lords increased their exploration frequency of the secret realm, the number of purple equipment produced increased significantly.

The market is not that scarce now.

Although the price is still not low, you can no longer get rare and good items in exchange.

Lin Chuan took out two orange items from the warehouse, both belonging to lords within the secret realm.

"List this up too, only trade rare blueprints, arrow towers, or equipment we can use."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Lin Chuan reaped a huge reward this time, and the goods he put up quickly filled his shop.

His shop has always attracted a lot of attention.

So many items have suddenly appeared.

This immediately caused a sensation among the lords of the Dark Forest region.

......

"Holy crap, so many materials, and many of them are rare materials."

"Haha, I knew Lin Chuan's shop was a treasure trove. Look, he's selling such rare materials for gold coins directly."

"Finally, I've finally made my first orange ring."

"My God, the combined value of these items is at least tens of millions of gold coins. Where did Lin Chuan get all of this?"

"Where else is there? Only a secret realm, it must be in a secret realm."

"But some materials are not produced in ordinary secret realms."

"A challenging secret realm?"

"It's very possible. Lin Chuan is already that strong. You have to know that difficult secret realms are for confrontation. There will be lords from other civilizations. One wrong move and you'll be dead."

"A level 7 lord I know from another region raised the threshold of five million gold coins to enter the secret realm, but he was kicked to death in less than three minutes. He suffered heavy losses and never dared to go to the difficult secret realm again. He also said that entering the difficult secret realm without 2000 legions is simply courting death."

"Lin Chuan's strength shouldn't be too great, right? How could he survive in the secret realm and bring out so many supplies?"

"I was wondering if it was possible that Lin Chuan was very strong, but we just never discovered it."

There was a moment of silence on the trading channel.

Soon someone changed the subject.

"Hey, look, the price of rare materials has been changed to magic cores."

Holy crap, it really is.

"Lin Chuan is spying on the screen."

"What a swindler! What a swindler!!!"

.......

"We almost suffered heavy losses."

The price of gold coins for magic cores changes every moment.

The overall trend is still downward.

After all, the production of magic cores is unstable, but as long as you search in the secret realm, even a simple search can yield hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

The overall market share is enormous.

Holding a large amount of gold coins will cause the market price to fall.

Only by replacing it with a magic core can we be sure of success.

For some rare materials, trading directly with magic cores is more cost-effective.

As for spying, Lin Chuan truly did not.

He was in a hurry to open the treasure chest and didn't have time to check the news on the market channel.

There are a total of three achievement chests.

"Let's see what we can get."

Lin Chuan rubbed his hands together and opened them all at once.

"Ding-dong."

"Obtained Snow Wolf Secret Realm Token (Hard) *3".

"Received 1000 Magic Cores".

"Obtained 1 house expansion blueprint".

The item is neither good nor bad.

The challenging secret realm tokens are exactly what Lin Chuan needs.

Magic cores are also very useful, but there are relatively few of them.

Blueprints for residential building expansions are a valuable resource.

The further you progress, the larger your population becomes, the more soldiers you can train, and the stronger your lord becomes.

After the expansion, the number of people that the residential buildings can accommodate can double.

"The houses in the territory are now considered high-class residences."

"The maximum population is 500, and it will be 1000 after the upgrade."

Five cities mean a population of 5000.

"Lift!"

Even if the renovation of a residential house cost 100 million gold coins, Lin Chuan didn't blink an eye.

The total population is over 5000.

The total military strength in the territory is currently less than two thousand.

"Expand the army."

"No, it's about perfecting the legion's configuration."

Spearmen, swordsmen and shieldmen, cavalrymen, archers, mages, healers, and scouts.

Cavalry is further subdivided into light cavalry, melee cavalry, charge cavalry, heavy cavalry, etc.

"We can't form so many specialized military units at the moment."

"First, set up a few basic units."

"Archers"

Although the territory now has a mid-level archer camp, the green troops are too weak; at least purple troops are needed.

No worries if there are no blueprints.

When you have money, just go to the market to buy it.

Open the trade channel, post your needs, and offer an orange-tier item that you don't need.

Soon, lords came to them on their own initiative.

Currently, orange-tier equipment is produced in very small quantities.

You either open treasure chests or go to difficult dungeons.

There are almost no other channels available, so the demand for orange-tier equipment is extremely high.

"Lin Chuan, I'll change."

The new lord is someone I didn't know before.

Purple troop building blueprints: Elite Crossbowmen Battalion of the Kingdom of Layton.

This should be the purple unit commonly used by lords at present.

Currently, apart from these purple units, lords have no other way to obtain stronger archer units.

"crossbowman."

"Not bad either."

After completing the transaction, I added the other party as a friend.

Just when Lin Chuan thought the deal was over.

The other party suddenly sent a message.

"Lin Chuan, there's a deal you're willing to make."

"What kind of deal?"

Lin Chuan no longer values ​​transactions with small profits.

You have to come up with something that can move him.

"A gnoll's lair."

"Help me get rid of it."

"This nest blocks my way out."

"If I don't take him down, I'll stay stuck in the newbie zone forever."

How can this help?

I had some doubts.

"How can I help?"

"I'll give you the coordinates, you send troops to attack."

So that's how it is. The lords are in the Dark Forest, and they can communicate with each other, but the distance between them is not close.

Furthermore, most lords do not trust others.

They were worried that revealing their coordinates would cause trouble.

Therefore, this situation is rare.

But the other side had no choice; this gnoll bandit camp was too powerful.

He couldn't beat him at all.

He approached many people, but they all rejected him.

Left with no other choice, they had to turn to Lin Chuan.

"A long and arduous expedition."

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and prepared to refuse.

"I found this gnoll den while doing a quest."

"There is an unhatched dragon egg inside the nest."

"Once you take it, this thing is yours."

"In addition, I can give you the items needed for the subsequent quests."

"This is an entry pass to a new secret realm."

The other party then attached details about the Gnoll's Den quest and the items needed for subsequent quests.

After confirming that it was true.

Lin Chuan accepted the task.

Thank you so much.

"Boss Lin."

"I also have a rare teleportation scroll here."

"By simply marking the coordinates, 1000 legions can be teleported to the designated location."

The other party sent the teleportation scroll and all subsequent mission items to Lin Chuan's mailbox.

She wasn't worried at all that Lin Chuan might change his mind.

"Like a college student from Earth."

"I have never experienced the harsh realities of society."

"Luckily, I met myself."

After obtaining the goods, Lin Chuan began to assemble his legion.

"There's no time like the present."

"Now, let's finish this quickly."
