Chapter 33: Initial Suspicion about the Number of People
I didn’t know that I had moved up a level in Teacher Zhuo’s evaluation.
After Qiao Shan completed the transaction with Lu Xuelin, he started browsing in [Transaction] again.
Then he discovered that many people were looking to buy "primary elemental gems".
He remembered that [Prompt Sound] said that elemental gems had many functions.
Currently, he knew that it had two functions: forging equipment and replenishing the health of the city lord's seal.
Presumably, someone else must have discovered a new use for it.
That's why so many people are looking to buy primary gemstones.
Now, the purchase price of a primary gem has soared to 80 gold.
The price was nearly half higher than the original auction price of more than 50 gold.
"Three iron-framed ox-horn longbows in exchange for primary elemental gems."
Seeing that many people were looking to buy elemental gems, Qiao Shan thought about it and also posted a purchase information.
As for primary gems, the more the better.
I looked around [Trade] but didn't find anything I wanted to buy.
Qiao Shan opened his sales column and checked the plums he had hung up earlier.
"Um?"
Seeing the sales situation of plums, Qiao Shan frowned.
All 3,000 plums, priced at 2 silver coins each, have been sold out.
but!
The plums were sold at 50 coppers each and each person was limited to buying one, but there were still 135 left.
This made Qiao Shan fall into deep thought...
"Only 665 people in total?"
“ Or did someone really not buy it?”
All three thousand expensive ones were sold out, but the cheap ones were not sold out .
Johnson understood why the products were not sold out despite the low price.
It’s because of the “one purchase limit per person” that I set myself.
"1,000 people came through?"
Including those that died or were not bought, Qiao Shan quickly analyzed the problem that the data showed.
"Or is it that there are only 1,000 people in this [chat] and [trading] area that I'm in?"
"No, no, Mr. Zhuo's intelligence booklet said that many people were born in different environments, some in the mountains, some in the ocean..."
"With such a huge difference in the crossing environment, it's impossible for 1,000 people to be in the same area."
"So, the most likely possibility is that only 1,000 people crossed over?"
….
Patting his head, Qiao Shan quickly analyzed the situation with 135 plums left.
pity,
There was too little data, so the conclusions he drew were not very accurate.
I thought about it for a while, in order to get more data.
Qiao Shan finally opened [Chat] and sent a message.
"【Trading】The sweetest fruit is now on the shelf - plums, 50 coppers each. With 50 coppers, you can't lose anything, nor can you be cheated!"
"Boss, I've already bought it! Your purchase limit for plums is one per person. Remove the limit and I'll buy them all for you."
"I ate it, it was delicious! Please remove the purchase limit!"
“Please remove the purchase restrictions!”
…
Qiao Shan's words elicited many responses.
"Boss, I'll give you the magic wand forging diagram in exchange for 20,000 plums!"
Seeing that the rhythm was taken away by Qiao Shan, the pretentious guy came again...
This is where I show off.
Can you please don't disrupt the rhythm?
"Please keep it. Those who didn't buy plums can try it."
After responding with one sentence, Qiao Shan directly exited the chat.
If you keep showing off, I will post an advertisement.
Your territory.
I withdrew...
…….
"Brother Qiao, did you sell that plum?"
Just as he finished speaking, before Qiao Shan could react, a private message came over.
"Hello, City Lord Li!"
The person who came was Li Hanqiang, the man from the castle.
"Brother Qiao, stop teasing me. I just bought 1,000 plums that were priced at 2 silver..."
"Thank you for your support, Brother Li. I am the one selling these plums. There is a plum tree at my birthplace."
After Li Hanqiang asked and thinking for a while, Qiao Shan did not hide anything.
After all, Li Hanqiang had been given some samples for tasting before.
"Good luck!"
Li Hanqiang praised.
"Not as good as Brother Li." Qiao Shan said politely, "By the way, Brother Li, do you still need food? I just opened a package and got 50 kilograms."
"Thank you. Yes, the more the better. I just bought plums for food. After all, it's something to eat."
Li Hanqiang's demand for food has not decreased.
It’s just that there is more food in the market, and his needs are not as urgent as they were at the beginning.
"good!"
As he said that, Qiao Shan traded fifty kilograms of food to Li Hanqiang.
"Sorry, Brother Qiao, my warning tower is ringing. Let's talk another day!"
Just as Li Hanqiang handed the gold coins to Qiao Shan, the early warning tower on the city wall suddenly rang.
"Okay, let's talk next time!"
Li Hanqiang suddenly wanted to kill a monster, so Qiao Shan didn't waste any more time.
At the same time, he understood.
Li Hanqiang must have also used the scroll to speed up monster spawning.
Although I don’t know which wave it is in now.
But what is certain is that he is definitely ahead of normal.
Normal rhythm, the third wave should have just ended at this moment.
There is no way the alarm tower would sound at this moment.
But everyone has his own luck, and Qiao Shan was not at all concerned about Li Hanqiang's accelerated monster killing.
He has already cleared four waves in advance.
It's normal for others to arrive a few waves ahead of time.
Close private chat.
Qiao Shan also looked at his own monster spawning point - the void wormhole.
[The seventh wave of void creatures, monster spawn countdown 22:48:13]
…
"Let's do it!"
Li Hanqiang was speeding up the monster killing process, which stimulated Qiao Shan and he decided not to wait any longer.
He wants to build a tower and prepare to fight the seventh wave.
I just bought a "poison fog tower" that can produce poison fog.
It should be very effective against the seventh wave of owls, which only have 100 of them.
But, that’s not enough!
Heta!
Currently, the second-level wooden arrow tower can only attack the ground.
The next wave is the Air Force.
To make the defense tower defenseless, you must continue to upgrade the defense tower.
Bang!
Qiao Shan did it as soon as he thought of it. Without saying a word, he directly pulled up a second-order wooden arrow tower and aimed it at the other one.
Wow~
A bright light flashed, and a new tower, 20% larger, appeared before our eyes.
The overall appearance of the third-level defense is similar to that of the second-level.
Besides the increase in size, the biggest change is...
The shooting hole at the highest point of the arrow slit was increased from one to two.
【Wooden Arrow Tower
Level: Level 3
Range: 200 meters
Attack speed: 1 second/time
Attack: Double Arrow, attack power 30-50
Rapid Fire: Attack speed increased to 0.5 seconds/time, duration 1 minute, cooldown time 10 minutes.
PS: Still no air defense.
】
have to!
Still don’t let go!
Seeing the properties of the third-order wooden arrow tower, Qiao Shan understood that he had to combine them.
The biggest change of the third-level wooden arrow tower is that the arrows change from single arrows to double arrows.
This is actually a very strong improvement.
After all, it’s doubled.
But this is not what Johnson needs...
There was no other choice but for Qiao Shan, who only had the Wooden Arrow Tower, to continue combining towers.
He must build an air defense tower before he can launch the seventh wave.
Bang!
Wow~
The other two second-order wooden frame towers were combined into a third-order tower.
continue!
Bang!
Wow~
Another tower-combining operation.
A flash of light appeared, and a huge arrow tower about four or five meters high and more than one meter in diameter appeared in front of Qiao Shan.
Without paying too much attention to the appearance of the fourth-order wooden arrow tower, Qiao Shan quickly opened its attribute bar.
【Wooden Arrow Tower
Level: Level 4
Range: 300 meters
Attack speed: 1 second/time
Attack: Double arrows, attack power 70-100 (can defend against air attacks)
Rapid Fire: Attack speed increased to 0.5 seconds/time, duration 1 minute, cooldown time 10 minutes.
PS: Continue to upgrade, there are big changes...
】
YES!
Seeing that the air defense he needed appeared, Qiao Shan clenched his fist and rushed forward, very happy.
The fourth-level wooden arrow tower has a range of 300 meters, the lower limit of attack power has been increased to 70, and it also has the ability to defend against air attacks .
Perfect!
As for the [prompt tone] that said there would be major changes at level five, Qiao Shan ignored it.
To build a fifth-tier tower, you need eight second-tier towers.
not worth it.
It’s not that there’s not enough money, it’s mainly because there’s no need!
"But we can have another fourth-tier tower!"
There is no need to build a fifth-order tower, but it is still possible to build a fourth-order wooden arrow tower.
Although considering the number and health of the seventh wave of owls, a fourth-order wooden arrow tower is enough.
But, there is one more spare.
Be safe~~
