With over 4,000 treasure chests, even if Wu Chi were to open them with a mere thought, it would still be exhausting. But with Qin Keqing's mental prowess, she swept through them in massive batches. Simple as that.Soon, all the kill-reward chests were opened.In total, they received 7,320 Void Crystals, 1,843 Void Essence Stones, 23 pieces of equipment, 2 skill books, and a mountain of daily supplies. The more unique items were the territory buildings: 【Barracks】, 【Arrow Tower】 x4, 【Fire Tower】, and 【Canteen】.It was a massive haul, and Wu Chi could only take his time sorting through it all."Keqing, thank you for your trouble. You should go rest now."Wu Chi gently patted Qin Keqing's small hand. The beautiful girl gave a timid nod, her lovely eyes lingering on Wu Chi for a few extra moments before she lay down on the bed and slowly closed them.Wu Chi tiptoed out and began organizing his gains.The Void Crystals and Void Essence Stones went straight into his inventory without a second thought. Of the 23 pieces of equipment, most were gray or white common-tier items that Wu Chi no longer had any use for. The only green-quality piece, the 【Wolf Fang Longsword】, replaced his own alloy longsword at his hip.The two skill books were 【Fireball】 and 【Divine Travel Talisman】. The former was a white-quality skill book, while the latter was blue. However, the talisman had learning restrictions: "Talisman Crafting" level 1 and "Daoist Arts" level 1 were required. Typically, only professions like cultivators could learn it. The Fireball spell had no requirements, but its damage was pathetic. Wu Chi could only store both of them away for now.The remaining daily supplies were mostly food and water, things Wu Chi wasn't short on, so he packed them all away. Just like that, his inventory was stuffed to the brim.Next, he started placing the new buildings. He added an additional Arrow Tower to each of the four corners.The next step: activate the cheat!Wu Chi tapped the "+" icon.A five-colored light flashed and vanished in a matter of seconds. When the light dissipated, four new towers stood in their place: one 【Immolation Tower】, one 【Frost Tower】, one 【Machine Gun Tower】, and one 【Crossbow Tower】."Thank God, no 【Fart Tower】!"Wu Chi breathed a sigh of relief. The Fart Tower was strong, but he had too many of them already. His crowd control was more than sufficient; what he needed was pure damage output.Next, Wu Chi placed the 【Flame Tower】, setting it down randomly along one of the wooden walls. The Flame Tower was a common type of elemental tower that sprayed fire, but its damage was, of course, far inferior to the Immolation Tower.But that was before the cheat.Wu Chi tapped the "+".【Fire Rain Tower】Type: Defense Tower.Level: 1 (0/200)Function: Fire Rain (Level 1) (60-second cooldown)Attack Range: 2000 meters.Stock: 1/1.Description: A powerful AoE spell that calls down a rain of high-temperature fire, hot enough to scorch the very air."Just as I thought. Same as the 【Frost Curse Tower】—rare and powerful!"Wu ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Chi nodded in satisfaction. The Frost Curse Tower had already proven its worth in the previous battle. Not to mention the frost spell itself, the Frost Golems it summoned had torn a huge gap in the monster tide, creating a perfect opportunity for his damage-dealing towers.This 【Fire Rain Tower】 had a stock of only 1 and a 60-second cooldown. With such heavy restrictions, its power had to be terrifying.After a moment's thought, Wu Chi checked his remaining Void Essence Stones and opened the attribute panel to begin leveling it up.【Fire Rain Tower】Level: 1→2!Level: 2→3!Level: 3→4!Level: 4 (0/1500)Function: Fire Rain (Level 4)"That was 1,700 Void Essence Stones gone just like that…"Wu Chi felt a sharp pang of regret. Every time he upgraded a territory building, it felt like he was cutting off a piece of his own flesh, but he had no other choice. If it weren't for his reliable level 4 defense towers, he would have been overrun by the thousands of monsters long ago. As for the other four towers he had just placed, he only had a few hundred Void Essence Stones left—not nearly enough to upgrade them. He would have to wait.The settlement from today's battle would surely bring in a huge wave of Void Essence Stones."And there's still the 【Barracks】 and the 【Canteen】…"Wu Chi's gaze shifted. He now had two Barracks. The 【Steel-Plated Hut】 was starting to feel rather useless. In the last battle, 40 Steel-Plated Boars had been less effective than a single 【Fart Tower】. It was a normal drawback for early-game units, but Wu Chi, a man with a cheat, couldn't be satisfied with that."Level 5! Void Essence Stones! I'm just waiting on you!"Wu Chi had a small plan in mind, waiting only for today's battle settlement."But, the 【Canteen】 can be placed now."Wu Chi found a spot and tossed the building model from his hand. The model grew with the wind, instantly transforming into a small, hundred-square-meter canteen that settled onto the ground.Wu Chi opened its attribute panel for a look.【Canteen】(+)Level: 1 (0/100).Function: Process food, create ingredients.Stock: 100/100.Description: Utilities and ingredients will consume stock.The Canteen was a pretty decent utility building. As it stood now, the 100 stock was more than enough to feed the three of them for a month. Of course, he'd have to provide the raw ingredients himself.
