Chapter 16 Bulletproof Armor, Tom Cruise
[Cannon Turret] Continue attacking.
The Treant Axe Thrower and the Ogre Warrior were just a pair, barely noticeable, and were quickly wiped out by the fire splash damage.
Only the Stone Hammer Leader remained steadfast, roaring and raging in fury.
Before long, the [Cannon Tower] triggered a second wave of Samadhi Fire, quickly reducing the [Stone Hammer Leader]'s health by another 3,000 points.
The monster was burned black all over, as if it had fled from Africa, and even the stone mallet in its hand had turned into a fire poker.
Five or six minutes later, the third wave of Samadhi True Fire struck. The Stone Hammer Leader was blasted and cried out in pain. His health was quickly depleted. He threw down the stone hammer in his hand and fell to the ground like a giant tower. With a loud bang, he kicked up dirt, knocked over trees, and then quickly turned into white light and disappeared.
Where he fell, a golden light flashed, and a treasure chest appeared out of thin air!
"We've got a treasure!"
Liu Huasheng was excited at this moment. He took a step and ran towards the treasure chest as fast as he could.
"I hope no one pops up to steal the treasure at this time..."
Liu Huasheng also carefully guarded his surroundings, fearing that someone might suddenly jump out from some nook or cranny.
Fortunately, nothing dramatic happened.
Soon, Liu Huasheng successfully opened the treasure chest, and three items floated out: a set of clothes, a token, and a scroll.
Liu Huasheng first looked at the fashion item, which was named "Bulletproof Armor".
[Bulletproof Armor: Fashion, Relic, the lowest-grade standard armor of a certain empire, made of multi-layered fiber and ceramic composite materials, can only protect against stray bullets, fragments and low-power lasers, easily penetrated, lightweight and inexpensive!]
Special ability: Grants immunity to 10 points of attack damage!
Note 1: Fashion items can be worn with a single thought, are permanently cleanable, and never wear out!
Note 2: Tower Defense Lords can wear this outfit, and it can also be equipped by the citizens of Chaos City, but wild monsters cannot wear it!
"This outfit is amazing! It grants 10 points of damage immunity! If I had this armor during the third wave of the jungle invasion, the Fizz wouldn't have taken any damage from my attacks, and I could have been fighting on the front lines!"
Liu Huasheng was overjoyed and immediately equipped himself with bulletproof armor; it was just a matter of a thought.
The bulletproof armor is a full-body suit of armor with a high-tech feel, even protecting the eyes. It's not heavy to wear, and Liu Huasheng didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Liu Huasheng then looked at the second item, which was a [B-level Hero Recruitment Order].
[B-Rank Hero Recruitment Order: Function Item, usable only by Tower Defense Lords. Recruit one B-rank hero in the city center upon use. This hero will possess two skills, have an initial loyalty of 60, and be at level LV1!]
"Good stuff! Now we have some men to rely on!"
Liu Huasheng felt pleased. He then looked at the third item, which was the blueprint for the Tier 3 defensive tower, the Lightning Tower. After using it, the Lightning Tower option would be added to his personal tower record.
However, Liu Huasheng's lord talent is [Ever-Changing], which means he can't use construction blueprints. These blueprints, like the [Construction Blueprint for the Earth Spike Tower] he obtained before, are useless to him.
"The blueprints for building a Tier 3 defensive tower must be very valuable, but unfortunately I can't use them. Even if I have to sell this, I'll definitely get a high price for it..."
Liu Huasheng made a plan in silence, then walked to the engineering shop, and a trading panel immediately popped up in front of him.

"These are all great items! The Steel Ripper is incredibly powerful; it can easily take on defensive towers single-handedly. Once you have it, you can start expanding your territory! The Floating Airship is even more amazing; it can fly in the sky, making it perfect for traversing the map. As for the Self-Destruct Doll, if you use it well, it's a formidable weapon for siege warfare..."
Liu Huasheng sighed.
Although the goods in the engineering shop were good, the prices were also very high. Although Liu Huasheng operated two mines, he had not yet accumulated any capital. If he took out all his savings now, he could only buy a few flares.
"Forget it, let's save up money slowly! With the cannon turret here, outsiders can't get close, and this engineering shop is now under my control! There's another engineering shop and two relic shops in Los, I wonder if they've been taken over yet..."
After a moment's thought, Liu Huasheng turned and headed back home.
A moment later, he moved the Death Tower another 400 meters south. With just one more move, he could capture the monsters at the entrance to the ruins.
After returning to his home city of Chaos, Liu Huasheng used the recruitment token to recruit the B-rank hero.
This hero is a handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed man who looks to be in his early twenties. He is sunny and dashing, carrying a long-handled, bright silver hammer and wearing simple armor. His name is Tom Cruise!

"So this is what Tom Cruise looks like! His abilities are pretty good though; he can heal and summon minions! Too bad he doesn't have any minions to lead right now!"
Liu Huasheng muttered to himself, feeling a sense of loneliness. After looking around, he frowned and said, "Where's the donkey? Why hasn't it come back?"
Liu Huasheng recalled that he hadn't seen the donkey since it went to sell goods last night.
This is not right. In the past, the donkey would always come back to its owner as soon as it finished its work.
Liu Huasheng figured that even if he was out hunting, the donkey should have returned to the city by now!
Why can't I see it?
"Something's definitely up to no good. Could the donkey have encountered some kind of accident?"
Liu Huasheng frowned. He immediately decided to go to the radio station and make a call to see if he could bring the donkey back.
