Chapter 33 is really an old man.
Chapter 33 is really an old man.
Liu Huasheng led his troops forward, and in his spare time he studied strategic maps.
Wang Shuaibo and Guan Zhengxing's exploration can also clear away the fog in the strategic map. In Liu Huasheng's observation, the two of them are small white dots moving on the strategic map, their own buildings are also white dots, and he himself is a large white dot.
"Both of these guys are moving. How did Wang Shuaibo end up in the jungle? Hmm, what's that big red dot? The Engineering Shop! Guan Zhengxing found the Engineering Shop!"
Liu Huasheng was overjoyed.
He discovered that in the southeastern part of the strategic map, in the dense forest area, there were large red dots representing strongholds of powerful monsters, as well as the symbol of an engineering shop.
The small white dot representing Guan Zhengxing is moving around it.
"This map is really symmetrical. There are two engineering shops, one in the northwest and one in the southeast. So, there should be a second relic shop in the southwest. There should also be a gold mine in the southwest corner."
Liu Huasheng suddenly realized that there were still areas shrouded in mist on the entire strategic map, namely the northwest corner, the southeast corner, and parts of the west and south!
Considering the symmetry of the map, Liu Huasheng felt that the west and south were no longer any secrets, but the northwest and southeast corners might still hold some mysteries.
After all, the game assistant said that there are a total of 12 gold mines in Lostamp, but only 10 have been discovered or can be inferred so far, namely the eight on the highlands and the corner mines in the northeast and southwest.
There are two more gold mines, which Liu Huasheng estimates are located in the northwest and southeast corners.
After a while, as Guan Zhengxing explored, Liu Huasheng discovered a body of water in the southeast direction of the map. Crossing the water, a highland appeared, and there was a conspicuous red mark on the highland.
Those red markers are not for monsters, but represent enemy buildings!
"What's going on? There's an island in the southeast of the map, and there are buildings on it? Wait, judging by the size of the red marker, it looks like someone's built a city there!"
Liu Washington became curious and continued to observe. The white dot representing Guan Zhengxing continued to explore southeast, and then a large red dot and a gold mine marker appeared on the island.
"Sure enough, there's a gold mine on the island, guarded by powerful monsters! Who was so clever as to go to this deserted island to develop their resources?"
Liu Huasheng thought to himself, "How strange! Could someone really move Chaos City to an island? In that case, are they abandoning a large area of land to play island defense?"
The white dot representing Guan Zhengxing eventually stopped at the edge of the map, trembled a few times there, unable to break through, and then turned back, circling around the red building.
Liu Huasheng studied the strategic map carefully again. He felt that the island might really be a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it could be attacked, the only options would be to use air force or sea route. If it was covered with defensive towers and the island was focused on defending itself, it would probably be very difficult to take it down.
"Going to the island, what a fool! How did he manage that?"
Liu Huasheng rubbed his chin. He couldn't fly and didn't have a ship. The only feasible way to attack the island was probably to buy a floating airship from the engineering shop.
However, the floating airship costs 12000 gold coins, which is more expensive than upgrading Chaos City.
If Chaos City is upgraded and gold coins are saved up to buy floating airships to transport troops to the island, it will take a long time. By then, that sixth brother will probably have already established himself on the island.
"That old sixth brother certainly knows how to give me trouble. Well then... we absolutely cannot let him have the island mine. We must not let this kind of scoundrel get away with it. We must kill him on the island as soon as possible..."
Liu Huasheng quickly thought about it. Of the eight players in Lostanp, four have already decided to become wild monsters. In other words, there are at most three opponents who can compete with Liu Huasheng for resources.
Liu Huasheng made a decision: first, he would do everything in his power to eliminate these three people and seize all the resource points before upgrading Chaos City.
"Today, we'll first deal with Ma Xianlong on Hill 6, then attack the engineering shop, and afterwards save up money to buy an airship. While saving money, we'll explore Hill 7 and Hill 8..."
Liu Huasheng quietly made a plan.
Half a day later, Liu Huasheng arrived at Hill No. 5, looked up, and was immediately stunned.
Where is Chaos City now?
Go up and take a look; no one is mining the gold!
"Could it be that Ma Xianlong has been killed?" Liu Huasheng muttered to himself, suddenly thinking of the players on the island, wondering if that sixth guy was Ma Xianlong.
After leaving Hill 5, Liu Huasheng quickly went to Hill 6, only to find that Hill 6 was also empty. He had not sent any laborers to mine there before, and now the gold mine was unclaimed.
"That's strange, nobody's coming to claim the mines. What's going on with the players on Hill 7 and Hill 8? Are they not expanding? Or do they simply not need gold?"
Curiosity arose in Liu Huasheng's heart, so he summoned the donkey Afu to his side and said to it, "Afu, go and scout out Hill 7 and Hill 8. See what the situation is there and report back to me when you return to the city tonight."
"Yes, master, dried rat, dried rat, only 20 yuan a piece..."
Donkey Afu happily set off, pulling the flatbed cart.
Liu Huasheng then said to Tom Cruise and Immortal River, "You two lead the team towards the southeast canyon. I'll be right back!"
After speaking, Liu Huasheng took out a teleportation talisman, selected Wang Shuaibo as the teleportation target, and quickly began the teleportation.
Wang Shuaibo had already reached the foot of Hill 1, not far from Chaos City, when suddenly he stopped and a six-pointed star teleportation array lit up in front of him.
"What's going on? Was someone ambushing us?"
Wang Shibao tensed up instantly, but quickly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Huasheng appear in the teleportation array. He said, "Oh, it's the boss! You scared me!"
Liu Huasheng said, "Shuai Bo, why are you back! And what's the deal with Ma Xianlong? Where's his city?"
Wang Shuaibo then told Liu Huasheng what he had seen and heard. After listening, Liu Huasheng became even more suspicious that the sixth man who came to the island was Ma Xianlong.
"Boss, that Sima Zhen is bringing five catapults; he's probably about to attack the city. Do you have any plans to deal with it?"
Liu Huasheng said, "I'm not afraid of him. My city isn't so easy to attack!"
After saying this, Liu Huasheng strode back to Chaos City, where he quickly built five houses and trained 30 laborers.
In total, 2650 gold coins and 100 wood were spent.
A moment later, Wang Shuaibo rushed up to Liu Huasheng and said, "That big idiot Sima Zhen is here, with an A-level hero, 12 spearmen, and 5 catapults!"
"What a reckless brute!"
Liu Huasheng frowned. He quickly climbed up to the city defense hall and looked down. He saw that Sima Zhen had already arranged five catapults in a line below the high ground, and it looked like he was about to start the attack on the city!
"This guy was lucky. I just happened to use the Tower of Death to refine the Nine Deaths Divine Art; otherwise, he wouldn't even have been qualified to set foot on the high ground..."
Liu Huasheng's gaze turned cold, but he said, "If that's the case, then let's give him a chance for a direct confrontation!"
