My Chaotic City

Chapter 013 Tower of Flames

Dark Night Redemption, Fan Knight, and Ignition Sword Saint all collapsed onto the Chaos Slab, utterly exhausted!

Of course, it's not physical exhaustion, but mental fatigue.

A white light of upgrade emanated from them. Dark Night Redemption leveled up to level 15, while Fanfeng and Ignite both leveled up to level 12!

Li Hanqiang didn't know how experience points were distributed; he only reached level 8.

However, he doesn't care about the level now because it's useless to him.

"So many system notifications! You can unlock your talents now!"

Li Hanqiang was excited and ignored the system notification. He stood in mid-air and said, "Everyone has worked hard! I'm not a stingy person. I'll give everyone a gold coin as a token of my appreciation. Come on, come and get yours here."

Nobody paid him any attention.

On the chaotic stone slab at the very front, the Fan Knight said, "I don't even want to talk anymore, damn it, I'm so tired!"

The igniter swordsman next door simply lay down on the ground and grumbled, "I never want to slaughter pigs again."

He glanced at Li Hanqiang and said, "This idiot city lord is standing in the sky, how are we supposed to get over and collect the gold coins?"

Dark Night Redemption wasn't much better off than the other two, yet he started calculating, suddenly exclaiming, "What a loss! We used over 30 small blue bottles and 15 invigorating potions! A huge loss, a huge loss!"

The small blue bottle was fine; it was collected by my underlings, so I didn't feel bad about not seeing the money. But the basic invigorating potion was bought from the mysterious shop with real money. These 15 bottles would cost 3 gold and 60 silver.

Bankrupt!

Now, besides his rank, he has nothing.

Oh, right, I still owe Lord Li Hanqiang 3 gold coins.

"How could I let you lose out!" Seeing that no one moved, Li Hanqiang leisurely walked up to Dark Night Redemption and said, "You're much better than those two idiots who fanned the flames. You contributed the most to defending the city this time, so we don't need those three gold coins from before! Also, look what this is?"

He revealed the [Flame Orb].

Dark Night Redemption was pleasantly surprised, and his eyes were immediately drawn to the [Flame Orb].

"Great stuff, great stuff! It's from that Ironhide Pig King, right? You're planning to give it to me?" Dark Night Redemption, no longer tired, suddenly perked up.

Li Hanqiang rubbed his nose: "I'll sell it to you, I'll sell it to you for a pittance!"

The salvation in the darkness was suddenly lost.

Li Hanqiang continued, "To be honest, I summoned that Iron-skinned Pig King using a summoning token. The summoning token is quite valuable, so I feel like I've gotten a bad deal just by getting this Flame Orb..."

Dark Night Redemption waved his hand to interrupt him: "I don't have the money to buy it. I'm in debt right now, and my bunch of underlings are going to starve too."

Li Hanqiang put away the Flame Orb and smiled, saying, "You have a bunch of underlings? That's easy! I'll keep this orb for you, I'm only selling it to you. Don't rush, just slowly accumulate gold coins. With your current level, you're probably already on the leaderboard, right? You're practically unstoppable wherever you go, aren't you? I believe that as long as you just casually grind around, you'll have all the gold coins and equipment you need... Or if you get any defense tower blueprints or building blueprints, you can trade them with me."

"Alright." Dark Night Redemption nodded. Li Hanqiang was right. Chaos City was just a place to level up. His stage was the Endless World. Now that he had reached a certain level, he was just stuck on some quests. He could easily complete them and improve his equipment.

After a while, the Fan Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint left their respective Chaos Slabs and ran up to Li Hanqiang to ask for gold coins.

Li Hanqiang wasn't stingy; he gave it all, since it was only two gold coins in total.

He needs to retain these few long-term clients; he'll still need them to defend the city in the future.

The group added each other as friends.

As adventurers, Dark Night Redemption and others now have many more things to do. The game world is vast and boundless, with countless places to explore.

The three chatted for a while, talking about upgrading skills, running dungeons, learning life skills, and playing in the arena, before quickly teleporting away to go their separate ways.

Li Hanqiang was frustrated.

What can he do now?

As the Lord of Chaos City, he is currently unable to leave Chaos City. It is said that he will only be able to leave Chaos City after reaching level 30.

He really didn't dare to start the fourth wave of monster siege, and besides, there was no way to start the monster siege now; he would have to wait ten hours.

"Let's start with the prize draw."

Li Hanqiang approached the Heart of Chaos; it was time to see its true colors again.

"System notification: Congratulations on successfully claiming your Guardian Reward! Your Guardian Reward is the [Rapid Development Gift Pack], item rating: Ordinary..."

He received another small gift pack. When Li Hanqiang opened it, the contents were exactly the same as the previous gift pack: 20 bound gold coins, two Chaos Stone Tablets, one random defense tower construction blueprint fragment, and one special monster summoning token.

"Not bad, at least I've collected three blueprint fragments!"

You can combine three blueprint fragments to create a complete blueprint, but the blueprint you get is random.

Knowing that luck would play a part, Li Hanqiang didn't hesitate and stacked the three random defense tower construction blueprint fragments together, instantly synthesizing them.

"System notification: Congratulations, player, you have obtained the [Building Blueprint for the Flame Tower]. After use, you can build the Flame Tower (Level 2 Defense Tower) on the Chaos Slab!"

[Flame Tower: A level 2 defensive tower that deals 30 fire damage per second to enemy units within a 50-meter radius.]

"A level 2 tower! And a multi-target damage tower at that." Li Hanqiang was overjoyed. Upon seeing the Flame Tower's attribute information, he secretly marveled at its power.

If I had possessed this Flame Tower from the beginning, what would I be afraid of, little black pig or big black pig?

It deals indiscriminate fire damage within a 50-meter radius. Even if a billion black pigs come, it won't be afraid. No matter how many come, they'll be burned to death. It's guaranteed to kill them within two seconds.

However, the Flame Tower's single-target damage is lacking; against monsters with high health, it's not as effective as a level 1 Arrow Tower.

Li Hanqiang still had four Chaos Stones in his hands. He ran to a place about 50 meters away from the spacetime wormhole and placed them one after another. Then he built the Flame Tower.

This Flame Tower is an obelisk, resembling a black, pointed stone monument, standing at least twenty meters tall. Crimson flames burn atop it, the flames surging like waves, making it far more imposing and tall than a basic arrow tower.

"A level 2 tower is a level 2 tower. In terms of appearance, it is far superior to a level 1 defensive tower." Li Hanqiang couldn't help but retreat, fearing that the flames of the Flame Tower would burn him. In fact, it was magical flames that not only did not harm friendly forces, but also had no heat. It just looked terrifying.

"Oh right, there's also the blueprint for the Azure Wave Pool!" Li Hanqiang slapped his forehead. The Azure Wave Pool was a special building, and now that they had defended against three waves of monster attacks, they could start building it.

Building the Azure Pool requires 100 points of Chaos Energy from the Heart of Chaos, but Li Hanqiang doesn't mind. After all, the Chaos Energy automatically recovers one point every hour, and since there are no monsters attacking the city now, he can just let it recover slowly.

Upon arriving at the edge of the "ruins" behind the Heart of Chaos, Li Hanqiang did not hesitate to use the [Blueprint for the Azure Pool].

Instantly, stone slabs appeared out of thin air in front of him, and within a few breaths, they formed a hundred-meter passage. At the end of the hundred-meter passage, space distorted and slowly formed a smaller spacetime wormhole. In the blink of an eye, the three large characters "Azure Wave Pool" appeared above the smaller spacetime wormhole.

"System notification: Congratulations! You have successfully created the special building Azure Pool. The environment of Chaos City will be affected by it. Please explore the details yourself..."
