Chapter 5: Building a Defense Tower
For the sake of the intelligence book, Qiao Shan told Teacher Zhuo a few words about his elf's intelligence and the rewards he had received:
"I received an A-level rating, similar to Li Hanqiang. The monsters I encountered were elves, and they automatically flew to the tree next to the city lord's seal..."
After talking with Teacher Zhuo, Qiao Shan opened the intelligence booklet.
"So far, the first wave of refreshed monsters include: Farmer, Little Soft, Goblin Craftsman, Little Horned Demon, Little Sheep, Little Ghost, Little Zombie, Orc Slave, Little Murloc..."
"Currently, the highest rating is S, and the lowest is D. The ratings from high to low are S, A, B, C, and D. Everyone's basic rewards for clearing a level are the same. But the higher the rating, the more extra rewards you will get."
"Everyone's birthplace is different. Some are surrounded by mountains, some are on plains, some are in forests, some are surrounded by farmland, some are in snow-capped mountains, and some are born on islands..."
"Everyone can only go one thousand meters away from the starting point. If they go any further, they will be blocked by the air wall. However, according to a person who found night vision goggles at the birth point, he found other humanoid creatures passing by outside the air wall. They were very large..."
….
"If you have enough food and gold coins, please go to the [Trade] panel to buy them as soon as possible!"
At the end of the information, a suggestion was given.
After digesting some information, Qiao Shan opened the [Transaction] panel.
"One defense tower fragment, 98 silver coins."
"One pound of food, 10 silver coins."
"Two lambs, one male and one female, 1 gold coin."
"One deceleration stone tablet, 1 gold coin."
"A bottle of pure water, 10 silver coins."
"One iron ore, 80 copper coins."
“Selling weapons in large quantities, 20 silver coins per weapon, killing monsters is no longer a dream! (Weapons include spears, axes, shovels...)”
"Ten private photos of beautiful women, very cool ones, for 5 silver coins. "
…
As people pass the level, the prices of items on the [Trading] panel have automatically changed to gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins.
It's not like the bartering at the beginning.
It’s similar to what Teacher Zhuo said, prices are very chaotic at the moment.
It is obvious that many of the prices of various items are incorrectly marked.
"Um?"
Looking through the transaction information, Qiao Shan locked onto a transaction item at a glance.
"One scroll for accelerating monster spawning, 3 gold coins."
The name of the scroll made Qiao Shan's heart skip a beat.
He immediately searched for "scroll" in the [Trading] panel.
"A scroll for delayed monster spawning, 3 gold coins."
"One scroll to bless the defense tower's fire element attack, 3 gold coins."
"One scroll for spawning monsters at a fixed time, 5 gold coins."
There were very few scrolls. Among the tens of thousands of trading messages, Qiao Shan only found four scroll trading messages...
Without even looking at the contents, just by looking at the name, Qiao Shan knew that these scrolls were good things.
Everyone doesn't have much money right now, so it's so cheap.
In the future, the price will definitely be higher.
"Put down the defense tower first, then organize your things, and then start trading things!"
The scroll is a good thing, and the seller knows it, so the price is very high.
Qiao Shan understood that he had to be quick.
He looked at the void wormhole in the distance again.
[Second wave of void creatures, monster spawn countdown 03:32:53]
…
Three more hours!
Standing next to the only "air slab", Qiao Shan quickly clicked on the first-level defense tower blueprint in the [package].
"Ding!"
"Unlock the first-level wooden arrow tower!"
As the system sound rang, a phantom of a wooden arrow tower suddenly appeared in Qiao Shan's hand.
“Bang!”
Find the right position and there will be a loud bang.
Ten meters away from the "air slab", near the thatched hut, there appeared an arrow tower more than three meters high.
There was an arrow rack on the corner of the wooden building, and arrows were shining coldly.
It has that flavor.
After taking a quick look, Qiao Shan turned around and opened his [Defense Tower Shop].
As expected, an icon activated in the list of first-level defense towers.
【Wooden Arrow Tower
Level: First level
Range: 100 meters
Price: 1 gold coin.
Attack speed: 2 seconds/time
Attack power: 10-20 (single attack)
Durability: 100/100
Rapid Fire: Attack speed increased to 1 second/time, duration 1 minute, cooldown time 10 minutes.
PS: For this gadget that can only be used on the ground but not in the air, you can try upgrading it to the second stage.
】
After checking the properties of the wooden arrow tower, Qiao Shan continued to click on the defense tower blueprint in the package.
Ding!
Another first-level wooden arrow tower.
Placement.
Ding!
Another wooden arrow tower.
"please do not!"
Three times in a row, all of them were wooden arrow towers.
Only the first blueprint unlocks the icon in the [Tower Shop].
The next two drawings, because they are of the same type, only give two towers and do not unlock new icons.
Qiao Shan didn't expect his face to be so dark.
After waiting for a few seconds, Qiao Shan clicked on the last drawing.
As an old player of tower defense games, he certainly knows that the more types of towers there are, the more room for operation he has.
Except for single attack tower.
A qualified tower defense combination must also have a deceleration tower and a range attack tower.
It would be best if there were also towers like stop and freeze.
More importantly, the [prompt sound] just said that the next wave of monsters you will face are "little tree people".
But the little tree man is afraid of fire.
Obviously, this wooden arrow tower has nothing to do with fire.
"Ding!"
[Unlock the first-level special defense tower - sentry tower]
Phew~
Finally, it is no longer a first-level wooden arrow tower. Qiao Shan let out a sigh of relief.
Although it is not the fireball tower that I want, at least it is no longer a wooden arrow tower.
【Watchtower
Level: First level
Category: Special Tower
Durability: 100/100
Range: 100 meters
Effect: Dispels darkness and provides vision.
PS: The first-level sentry tower is of little use, but it is said that the advanced sentry tower has functions such as development and positioning.
】
The newly opened "watchtower" actually provides a view.
Although Qiao Shan was surrounded by the elves, the tree was glowing and his vision was not so dark.
But mankind's yearning for light makes him very happy about the sentry tower that can provide a view.
The more the better.
The sentry tower is a special defense tower. In the [Defense Tower Store], the purchase icon of the sentry tower is not activated...
“Bang!”
Without too much hesitation, Qiao Shan placed the phantom of the sentry tower in his hand outside the void wormhole, far away from the thatched hut.
The big trees can't reach that place.
Wow~
With the placement of the sentry tower, the pitch-black night sky behind the void wormhole is no longer dark.
Although it is not as bright as a big tree, at least the field of view is improved a little.
"Let's not merge the towers yet, let's see if there is any defense value!"
Two first-order towers of the same type can be combined into a second-order tower. After putting down the sentry tower, Qiao Shan looked at the three first-order wooden arrow towers in front of him.
He has no plans to close the tower at the moment.
Although after the towers are merged, the second-level tower will definitely have stronger attack power.
But from the [prompt sound], he already knew that the health of the next wave of treemen was 20.
The attack of the first-order wooden arrow tower is "10-20".
The damage and health are just a coincidence.
After the towers are combined, the properties of the secondary towers are still uncertain, and the damage may overflow, causing waste.
In addition, he has set his eyes on the "Defense Tower Fire Element Attack Blessing Scroll" in the [Trading] panel.
After the scroll is blessed, the attack power of the wooden arrow tower should be further improved.
For the next wave of monsters, this attack power should be enough.

…
With more than two hours left, Qiao Shan turned around and went back to the thatched hut.
He opened the [Transaction] panel and started posting transaction information:
"Iron ore, 81 copper coins per piece."
"I'll take the horns, 10 silver coins each."
"Collect the animal tendons, 20 silver coins each."
"Collect the thin hemp rope, 10 copper coins per meter."
[Diagram for making an iron-framed ox-horn longbow], this was obtained by Qiao Shan from a reward chest with an SSS-level rating.
When he saw so many good things on the [Trading] panel, he really wanted them!
Although he has a lot of gold coins compared to others.
But it is far from enough to buy everything you set your sights on.
At this moment, he had already made a plan - to sell iron-framed ox horn longbows.
The equipment crafting diagram is currently unique to Qiao Shan, after all, it is an SSS-level evaluation reward.
….
"Ding! Got an iron ore."
"Ding! Obtained 20 meters of thin hemp rope."
" Ding! Obtained 3 pieces of iron ore."
"Ding! Obtained a bull horn."
Not long after posting the transaction list, Qiao Shan heard the news that the transaction was successful.
