Chapter 3 Come on, hit me!
"I've bought insurance, now I can just find someone to beat me up!"
Lei Chi opened the chat panel.
In this world, isn't it easy for someone to invade?
Lei Chi's chat panel currently only has one public chat group, which is currently displaying text messages.
"Li Dapu: Buying chalcopyrite, mithril, gilt ore and other mineral materials. Those interested please go to room 655 in the trading hall."
"Chen Fei Nian: Selling a construction blueprint for a Tier 3 Hidden Mechanical Tower. Room 244 in the Trading Hall. Serious inquiries only!"
"Zhang Daqian: The Hero Tower exclusive Skeleton Arrow skill book is now listed on the auction house!"
"Mu Xiaoxiao: Flying Fire Camp is recruiting! Flying Fire Camp is recruiting! Heroes who have defeated the 10th wave of the monster invasion, click here to join the camp! Newcomers will receive a free gold coin!"
Wu Jingang: @Mu Xiaoxiao, goddess, did you receive the gold coin chest I sent you? I have three more here, I'll mail them to you later!
Lei Chi glanced at the messages in the chat panel, and on a whim, sent a message: "@Wu Jingang, you simp, get the hell out of here!"
Wu Jingang: @Lei Chi, what the hell do you think you are, daring to curse me!
Lei Chi: @Wu Jingang, I'm talking about bootlickers like you. Bring it on if you dare!
"No Vajra: @Leichi, you bastard, if you've got the guts, reveal your number, and I'll fuck you to death!"
"Lei Chi: Q543131241, if you don't come, you're a coward!"
"Ding: You have used up your daily free chat attempts. To continue posting messages in the public channel, each message will cost 1 gold!"
"Alright, let's see if Wu Jingang will attack!"
Lei Chi closed the chat panel before bringing up the information panel of his secret camp to check.

Lei Chi checked his own attributes again. His current level was LV1, with 100 health points, 1 attack power, 0 armor, 0 magic resistance, no skills, and no equipment. He was only wearing the indestructible flip-flops, vest, underwear, and shorts given to him by the system.
Players level up by defeating each wave of monsters attacking the city, and the level cap also increases by one level. After leveling up, attributes increase, but this increase is only numerical and does not translate into real-world performance.
For example, if a player defeats the first wave of monster invasion, they will level up to LV1, gain 100 health, 1 attack power, and their level cap will also increase to LV1. Defeating the second wave of monster siege will level them up again, and their level cap will increase to LV2.
If a player is killed, they will lose a level. After losing a level, they can regain their level by defeating monster invasions or running dungeons.
"Let's do something now, let's go eat!"
Lei Chi turned off the information panel and began to tour his secret camp. He first went into the Mushroom House to take a look. It was a two-story house with complete furniture. The washroom, toilet, and small living room were on the first floor, and the bedroom was on the second floor.
Pretty good!
Upon closer inspection of the lunchbox making machine, I discovered that it has an LCD screen where you can select your lunchbox. The lunchbox types include "Tomato and Egg Rice Bowl", "Green Pepper and Shredded Pork Rice Bowl", "Braised Pork Ribs Rice", "Garlic Pork Intestine Rice", and so on.
Lei Chi ordered a "green pepper and shredded pork rice bowl". Ten seconds later, a lunchbox was brought out. Lei Chi opened it and saw that it was indeed a hot green pepper and shredded pork rice bowl. The lunchbox also thoughtfully included cutlery.
"This is so high-tech..."
Lei Chi immediately ate a meal, thinking to himself that the system's compensation was pretty good. Other players would have to log off to eat when they were hungry, but he could just eat online.
He ate three boxed meals in a row, felt stuffed, and then went to get a drink.
The beverage dispenser operates in the same way as the boxed meal dispenser. On the LCD screen, you can select "beer", "coffee", "Erguotou", "Fatty's Happy Water", "milk tea", "soy milk", and so on. The selection is quite complete. After selecting, a 500ml can of beverage will be dispensed 10 seconds later.
Lei Chi ordered a can of soda, took a few big gulps, and felt incredibly refreshed. He then pulled out a deck chair from the mushroom house, lay down on it, basked in the sun, drank his soda, and waited for the players to invade.
At this very moment, player Wu Jingang is checking information in his own war hall.
This person was tall and strong, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and large ears. He was a level 22 mechanical tower player.
"You bastard, how dare you call me a simp! If I let this go, I'd lose face, and Mu Xiaoxiao would look down on me. I have to teach him a lesson today!"
Wu Jingang intended to launch an invasion of Lei Chi's secret camp, and now he needed to confirm whether the numbering information he had given was correct.
Soon, information related to Q543131241 appeared on the information panel in front of Wu Jingang. He was slightly taken aback and read it aloud: "Secret camp of Thunder Pool, highest score: wave 0 of monster invasion, defense index 1. This guy must be a newbie who just entered the game. Who gave him the courage to curse me?"
Upon confirming that the information was correct, Wu Jingang became even angrier. How dare some Tom, Dick, and Harry who just entered the game mock him? Who does he think he is?
We have to take him down!
He wasn't satisfied with doing it alone, so he dragged his friends along!
With this in mind, Wu Jingang pulled up his friend list and immediately called for help.
"Chen Hanxiang, what are you busy with?"
"Gold digging!"
"Stop digging, come with me to deal with people!"
"Okay, boss..."
"Ma Dongqi, put on your iron armor and come with me to war..."
"Su Youlin, come with me to beat someone up..."
In less than three minutes, Wu Jingang had summoned three people and added them to his team. He then said in the team chat, "Some trash is insulting me in the public chat. I'm initiating an invasion now. When we get to his camp, don't hold back, give him a good beating!"
"clear!"
"What kind of trash is this, so ignorant and reckless as to offend Brother Wu? Doesn't he know Brother Wu is an elder of the Flying Fire Camp?"
"I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
The three remained on the phone, standing in their own war hall, when soon a portal appeared in front of them.
"Charge!"
Wu Jingang charged in, shielded by an oak tree.
The other three were about the same.
They have extensive experience in invading; once they pass through the portal, they arrive at the enemy's war corridor, where they can physically tank towers—so the faster they run, the better.
But the next moment, Wu Jingang, who had rushed into the war corridor, was stunned.
No tower?
He looked around and saw a flat plain. Then, to his surprise, a little tiger was squatting by the edge of the spacetime wormhole, meowing and roaring like a mascot.
"Little Tiger! A Beast Tower player?"
Wu Jingang rolled his eyes.
"And you dare to swear at people with this?"
Wu Jingang thought to himself, "Does that little brat think I wouldn't dare to invade?"
The other three rushed into the war corridor and saw the helpless little tiger.
Among the three was a short player with a bowl cut named Chen Hanxiang. He pointed at the little tiger and asked a fat player next to him, "Old Ma, what do you think?"
The obese player, named Ma Dongqi, wore black armor and frowned, looking serious. "I've never seen such an idiot!"
"Haha! This guy doesn't know how to play. The Beast Tower already has a short range, and he still put it at the monster spawn point. He's just using it as a mascot!"
The speaker was named Su Youlin. He was thin and had a smile on his face.
Wu Jingang said, "This little trash is probably used to being arrogant. With his skill level, he still dares to curse. Brothers, charge over there, catch him, and beat him up. Don't let him log off and get away!"
"Okay!"
The four of them walked side by side, quickly covering the short 100-meter war corridor, and then they saw Lei Chi lying on a deck chair, basking in the sun and drinking soda.
This little brat actually smiled at them, holding up her soda and saying, "Come on, fuck me!"
"Damn it, he's still online!"
"Let's all go at him and beat him up!"
At Wu Jingang's command, the four men rushed forward and, without hesitation, surrounded Lei Chi.
