Chapter 69 The Farm, Ascending the Throne
Chapter 69 The Farm, Ascending the Throne
A moment later, Liu Huasheng brought Zhu Gaoxu to the Dadi Noodle Shop and watched him eat bowl after bowl of noodles.
"This guy definitely has a hidden setting; there must be a way to turn him into Marshal Tianpeng! Even if he can't become Tianpeng, he could become Pigsy, or even Zhu Bajie! Perhaps his setting is similar to that of Supreme Treasure and Sun Wukong... I also have a Spider Immortal Tower. If this idiot encounters the Spider Immortal Tower, will there be some kind of synergy?"
Liu Huasheng pondered randomly, finding this pig-like son-in-law quite interesting.
While Zhu Gaoxu was eating, Liu Huasheng carefully studied the changes in Huaxia Longcheng after it was upgraded to the third level.
He felt that the most significant impact on him was the construction of defensive towers.
Liu Huasheng can now only build random tier 3 defense towers, but the construction cost has increased to 200 stamina, 2000 gold coins, and 2000 wood.
Liu Huasheng's current stamina cap is only 110 points.
This means that Liu Huasheng cannot build a defensive tower at once, but can only build half a tower a day, and it takes two days to build a tower!
"No need to gather other building materials, just increased physical exertion, which is actually acceptable..."
Liu Huasheng muttered to himself. Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was eating too much, having already eaten five bowls of noodles and still wanting to continue, he shook his head, got up, and left.
Liu Huasheng didn't think there was anything wrong with both of his S-class heroes being support-type. He didn't lack troops; what he lacked was technical talent like this.
The Foolish Old Man of Beishan could carry the tower on his back; he was incredibly strong and could participate in infrastructure construction and build the magnificent stone wonders.
Now that Pigsy has arrived, and with the construction of the farm unlocked in Chaos City, it's a good opportunity for him to work on the farm.
The saying "store up grain and build high walls" perfectly describes the relationship between these two S-class heroes!
"The map has been pieced together. I need to spend more time monitoring the entire map. The construction of the megalithic city wall will be handled by Lü Xuanyue. This pig-like son-in-law should focus on developing agriculture..."
Thinking of this, Liu Huasheng quickly arrived at the Demon Mountain Hunting Ground. He first looked at the prey and, seeing nothing unusual, found Lu Xuanyue, the Foolish Old Man of the North Mountain.
Lu Xuanyue has already been promoted to level three and is now waiting in line to drink chicken soup. The one who makes the chicken soup is, of course, Brother Tom.
"Yu Gong, you've reached level three. After you finish the chicken soup, try carrying back the Death Tower and the Spider Fairy Tower! After that, I want you to lead a team to build the Great Wall of Giant Stones. First, protect Hill One. The wall should be at least 50 meters high. I'll prepare the giant stones for you, and I'll also assign you 200 stonemason welders..."
Liu Huasheng gave Lü Xuanyue some instructions, believing that Lü Xuanyue should be able to understand him.
After leaving the Demon Mountain Hunting Ground, Liu Huasheng quickly went to train the laborers, and soon trained another 300!
He then built a farm.
The farm is also a fusion building, with its entrance placed alongside the entrances to the Chaos Quarry, the Mystic Pig Farm, and the Demon Mountain Hunting Ground!
Liu Huasheng converted the 300 migrant workers into farmers and led them into the farm. There they saw wheat fields, cowsheds, chicken coops, warehouses, waterwheels, and so on.
There are already crops and some poultry and livestock here; what's lacking are farmers to work.
Liu Huasheng asked Huang Gou Awei and learned that the crops, poultry and livestock on the farm were all randomly generated, and the farmers could only work according to the farm's conditions.
Take this farm in front of us, for example. It only has wheat fields, so the farmers can only grow wheat.
Soon, Liu Huasheng built a second farm.
As soon as this farm was built, it immediately merged with the first one. Liu Huasheng entered it and found that there was an extra watermelon field. The small watermelons in the field were already the size of a fist!
"Looks like we'll be able to eat watermelons soon, that's great! There's such a huge watermelon patch, we definitely can't eat it all ourselves, so we'll put it on the trading platform or set up a stall... I wonder if anyone will come to buy watermelons!"
Liu Huasheng smiled slightly and then built a third farm. The three farms were combined into one medium-sized farm, which included a large vegetable garden.
A moment later, the 300 farmers started working. Liu Huasheng returned to the Dadi Noodle Shop and found that Zhu Gaoxu was still eating noodles. He had already devoured 40 bowls of ramen!
"Wow, what an amazing appetite!" Liu Huasheng patted Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder and said, "Idiot, it's time to go work on the farm!"
Zhu Gaozi quickly picked up the large bowl in front of him and devoured the noodles and soup in a few bites. Only then did he bow to Liu Huasheng and say, "Father-in-law, I'm only half full. I'll eat more after I finish my work!"
"Damn, I'm only half full! My DaDi Noodle Shop can only serve a hundred bowls of ramen a day..."
Liu Huasheng muttered something to himself, and then headed to the monitoring tower to observe the entire map.
He did not underestimate Silvermoon City, Immortal God King City, and Dog Head Holy City that appeared in the pieced-together map. It was only because he was unable to be in two places at once that he was able to monitor them around the clock from the monitoring room and keep track of their every move.
After careful observation, Liu Huasheng discovered that Silvermoon City should be an elven city. The defensive towers around the castle seemed to be ancient guardians. Outside the city, there were elven archers with pointed ears and moonblade knights riding black panthers patrolling, but they only moved around in the vicinity of Silvermoon City.
As for the Immortal God King's City, there was no movement at all. Floating airships floated quietly above the castle, and the fused defensive towers numbered only eight, so the defense was not very strong.
Meanwhile, a floating airship slowly emerged from the Dog-Headed Holy City, heading straight east with an unknown destination.
Liu Huasheng dragged the monitoring view and soon discovered that most of the gold mines in Western Lostanp were empty, with no workers in them, but all the monsters at the mining sites had been cleared out, including those on the two small islands.
"The large red dots on the island's mines have all been cleared, which shows the player's strength is considerable and should not be underestimated!"
As Liu Huasheng was pondering this, he saw thick smoke billowing from the northwest corner of the Lost Temple, and the tower that had stood there collapsed!
The collapse was, of course, due to the bombardment by the arrow tower matrix. Eight missiles hit the building, reducing its durability by 16000 points!
The one who controlled the arrow tower matrix to launch the bombardment was none other than Qin Wuman!
At this moment, Qin Wuman was invigorated!
"The arrow tower matrix is too powerful! It can kill enemies from an ultra-long range without taking damage. Who can stand against my Huaxia Dragon City? Even the temple will be reduced to ruins under my bombardment!"
Qin Wuman clenched her fist, laughed three times, and said, "I'm going to raise pigs, I'll come back to bombard you tomorrow!"
At this very moment, in that lost temple and underground palace, Hua Xiaolan was filled with joy, like a primary school student about to embark on summer vacation.
Through tireless efforts, she finally opened the ultimate puzzle chest and found the most important treasure in the underground palace!
It was a golden dog-headed scepter, which only a descendant of the dog-headed royal family could wield; it was a symbol of power and status.
With this scepter, Hua Xiaolan could control the entire kobold temple, truly become the monster lord, and recruit the kobold guards near the Lost Temple and the underground palace, making them loyal subordinates whom she could command at will.
"From this day forward, I, Hua Xiaolan, ascend the throne! I am the Kobold Queen!"
Hua Xiaolan took out the golden dog-head scepter from the puzzle treasure chest, feeling triumphant.
She quickly began recruiting the kobold guards, which was simple: just walk up to them with the golden kobold scepter and the recruitment event would be automatically triggered.
In half a day, Hua Xiaolan recruited all the kobold guards in front of the Lost Temple and in the underground palace.
There are 2000 in total. The strongest is the level 7 kobold chieftain, the weakest is the level 1 kobold archer, and the backbone is the level 3 kobold warrior!
Their professions are fixed; by design, they are wild monsters and cannot become stronger.
But in Hua Xiaolan's view, although these non-biological kobolds lacked potential, they were undoubtedly a powerful force when united!
At this moment, Hua Xiaolan stood below the towering dragon statue. She glanced at the northwest direction of the temple, where the defensive tower that had stood there had disappeared!
"They actually have a way to destroy the repelling tower! Luckily, I've already obtained the Dog-Headed Staff and incorporated the monster army into my forces!"
Hua Xiaolan narrowed her eyes.
After the trading post opened, Hua Xiaolan's life became much better. Through "online trade," she no longer lacked food, could lay eggs to her heart's content, and develop her military strength to her heart's content.
Originally, Hua Xiaolan planned to develop her business quietly underground, but the long-range bombing from the surface made her unable to concentrate.
"One of our defensive towers has already collapsed; we can't keep hiding any longer!"
Thinking of this, Hua Xiaolan raised her staff and shouted, "All kobold warriors, heed my command! Humans are arrogant, daring to bombard our temples from a distance. Do they really think we can't fight back? It's time to let them know the power of us kobolds! Come, all troops, march with me, attack human castles, and take control of the entire continent!"
The kobolds immediately obeyed. Led by Hua Xiaolan, they headed north. Even the level seven kobold chieftain and the level six kobold priest were mobilized. All 2000 kobolds were gone.
Moreover, Hua Xiaolan also brought along 30 of her own kobold heavy armor warriors.
