Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 60 Safe

When Lei Chi returned to the camp square, three hours had passed, and he had successfully leveled up to LV7.

"This is... absolutely outrageous!"

When Lei Chi saw the state of his camp, his eyes widened in shock!

He truly hadn't expected it could be played like this.

All the buildings in the camp had their entrances sealed off with tape, the walls were covered with the word "demolish" painted in red, and there were all sorts of graffiti and hand-painted murals. People's notes saying "I was here" were written everywhere, and large posters saying "Delete your account now" were everywhere...

"Thank goodness there's no poop in the game, or these guys would definitely have thrown it!"

Lei Chi was very annoyed. He could peel off the big-character posters and seals, but what about the graffiti on the wall? He couldn't very well clean it himself, and he didn't have any cleaning tools.

"This is garbage! Do we have to wait for system maintenance to refresh it?"

Lei Chi arrived at the Mushroom Hut, peeled off the seal on the door, and read aloud the words: "Thug Gang Seventh Group permanently sealed! Permanently sealed my ass! By the way, what the hell is this Thug Gang? Isn't Wang Daochang from the Flying Fire Camp? Well, the Flying Fire Camp isn't like this. These guys who came to invade this time are too nasty."

Tearing off the seal in his hand, Lei Chi couldn't help but bring up the chat panel.

After the system maintenance, Lei Chi still had no chance to use his public chat chat. He couldn't resist venting, so he posted a message in the public chat: "@All players of the 'Struggle Gang,' you trash 'Struggle Gang,' don't you dare invade my camp again! What kind of skill is this, writing and drawing graffiti like that! I'm warning you, don't come back, or I'll kill you!"

At this point, some players from the thug gang were indeed spying on the screen, and people started replying one after another.

Sun Wanfeng: @Lei Chi, I'm going!

Qian Dakai: @Lei Chi, you grandson, are you scared now?!

Taurus: Haha, just logged on? You're already furious, aren't you! See you later!

Mainland tourist: What's going on?

Wu Jingang: @Mu Xiaoxiao, the newly minted gold coin treasure chest is still fresh! I've mailed it to you!

Lei Chi: @Wu Jingang, are you still acting like a simp?

Wu Jingang: @Lei Chi, you idiot, you don't understand anything. I'm a man with aspirations!

Ren Qingxing: So be it, I'm a simp. Who told her to be so beautiful? My conditions are so poor, so be it. What else can I do to get close to her? Is it wrong to be a simp?

Xu Gongzhi: "That simp's desperate efforts are just to get the women we've had our fun with and then discarded. How pathetic!"

Wu Jingang: @Xu Gongzhi, who the hell are you? Dare to give me your number?

Xu Gongzhi: What is there to be afraid of? Q523131241, am I remembering correctly?

Lei Chi glanced at the player ID posted in the chat group and realized it looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his own ID.

"This chat group is full of weirdos. This guy named Xu Gongzhi actually remembered my player ID. He's got potential, really potential!"

Lei Chi continued to peek into the chat group for a while, and his mood improved considerably.

After closing the chat panel, Lei Chi went to the gold mine.

The gold mine is bustling with activity now, with ten human slaves standing in a neat row inside.

"What is it, sir?"

They asked in unison.

"It's nothing!"

Lei Chi replied that he discovered that human slaves were different from orc laborers. When an orc laborer died, not only did he lose all his experience, but he also lost at least 10 loyalty points. However, when human slaves like Thor became militiamen and died in battle, their loyalty did not decrease and remained at 60.

The orc laborer, who had reached level 10, was lying around like a boss with his hands behind his head. He stood up, scratched his head, and said, "Get to work, get to work!"

Lei Chi glanced at him and noticed that his loyalty had actually increased to 1 point.

"Is this orc laborer a mutant? It's ridiculous, its loyalty has even recovered!"

Lei Chi didn't bother with the orc laborers. He went to check out the various gold mining sites and found the skeleton miners quietly digging in the ground. Sure enough, they had all leveled up to level ten.

"It seems that the higher the level of the skeleton miner, the higher the chance of obtaining gem items or archaeological items."

Lei Chi muttered something to himself and went to check the gold coin treasure chests. As soon as he opened the first one, he found a large, white bone inside. Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was an archaeological tool.

[Paleogeneous Fossils: Archaeological Tools, Bound Items. Please collect more and try piecing together a complete paleontological skeleton in the City Defense Center for unexpected archaeological discoveries.]

"What's going on? Assembling a fossil skeleton?! How do you even assemble this? There are no reference pictures, are you just going to assemble it like building blocks?"

Lei Chi then opened the remaining three treasure chests, and there were four more bone fossils: one that looked like a triangle, one that looked like a vertebra, and one that looked like a miniature dinosaur skull.

"Alright, I'll save this for later and work on it when I'm bored!"

Lei Chi put the fossilized bone back into the gold mine treasure chest, pondered for a moment, and then headed towards the challenge hall.

He decided to challenge that mysterious BOSS.

"Give it a try, maybe you'll pass. I hope it's just as I guessed."

Now that Lei Chi knew about the Tata World Hall of Fame, he felt it would be a waste not to challenge the mysterious BOSS. After paying 10 gold coins, the system notification sounded on his alarm clock: "Ding, you have challenged the mysterious BOSS."

"Ding! Player Hua Tianbao has achieved a game achievement by remaining in the top three of the wealth rankings for three consecutive months and has been admitted to the Tata World Hall of Fame. Using him as a template, a challenge BOSS, [Wealthy Celebrity Hua Tianbao], will be generated. The BOSS will be set to level 30, with 6900 HP, 5 armor, and 5 magic resistance, and will be given random BOSS skills."

"Ding! Attention! [Wealthy Celebrity Hua Tianbao] will enter the War Corridor in three minutes. He carries 10 recovery potions, each instantly restoring 500 health points. The potions have a three-second cooldown. Please prepare your defenses!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Lei Chi immediately exclaimed "Holy crap!"

"Brother Bao is awesome, but too bad, you're going to get beaten to death this time!"

Lei Chi thought to himself that [Wealthy Celebrity Hua Tianbao] should be much easier to beat than [Beast King]. Indeed, daring to challenge someone is half the battle won. This challenge should be very easy.

Before long, [Wealthy Celebrity Hua Tianbao] emerged from the spacetime wormhole. His appearance was almost identical to the real Hua Tianbao, and his equipment was the same. However, he appeared somewhat stiff and walked with a swaying gait. As a result, he was quickly killed.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully challenging and defeating the mysterious BOSS [Wealthy Celebrity Hua Tianbao]! You have completed the challenge and are generating your reward. Calculating..."

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained one Gold Coin Sprite Summoning Scroll and one Safe! Please go to the War Hall to claim your rewards."

"Ding! A new challenge boss has appeared in the Challenge Hall: the LV30 Diamond Boss [Holy Knight], awaiting your challenge!"

"A safe? Shouldn't it be a treasure chest?"

Lei Chi quickly went to the challenge hall to claim his reward and soon saw the reward items.

[Gold Coin Sprite Summoning Scroll: A special item. Use it to summon a wave of free Gold Coin Sprites to invade your secret camp. Gold Coin Sprites are immune to regular attacks, have an uncertain movement speed, are level 3, and have 30 health points. They are not offensive. Ten sprites spawn every second, for a total of 10,000. For every Gold Coin Sprite that invades your camp square, your gold coins will decrease by one point (negative numbers are allowed, resulting in a debt that will be automatically repaid with gold coins). There is a small chance to directly obtain gold coins by killing Gold Coin Sprites.]

[Safe: Special item, storage item, indestructible, bound, only player-controlled individuals can open it. It can be placed in a designated location within the camp and has 100 storage slots. Items of the same type can be stored together in the same slot. The safe itself and the items stored within it cannot be looted.]
