My Chaotic City

Chapter 068 Attitude Shift

The shift from studying diligently to playing around casually represents a change in attitude. Li Hanqiang is usually lazy and doesn't care about anything in particular, but now that he's decided to put his heart into it, it's as if he's become a different person.

"Luck played a big part in my success, but no one is unlucky or lucky forever. Relying on your looks is unreliable. If you want to have a smooth and successful life, you have to have real skills!"

Li Hanqiang pondered silently.

He knew in his heart that he was lucky, but there must be others who were just as lucky as him, or even luckier!

If you have your own demon mountain cave, who knows, maybe someone else has a Dragon Palace in the East Sea?

If you don't work hard in games, you'll get bullied sooner or later.

Now that you're famous, it would be really unpleasant if you fell on hard times.

Extraordinary people must do extraordinary things. Li Hanqiang has decided to work himself to the bone!

He was very confident in his liver's capabilities; he believed that few people could surpass him in this regard.

He purchased the nutrient solution to improve his liver function.

That nutrient solution, you can finish a bottle in just a few minutes and you won't feel hungry all day, saving you the time to eat offline.

In fact, if you want to develop quickly, collecting some gold coins is the most effective way. However, Li Hanqiang doesn't even consider this kind of spending. He has spare money, but no matter how much he spends, can he outspend those big guilds?

Moreover, life is not for games; games are just to make life more interesting. Not spending money on in-game purchases is Li Hanqiang's belief because he feels that once you spend money, the game loses its flavor, just like reading game guides, which greatly reduces the fun.

"Grind it all out, but don't spend any money!" Li Hanqiang said to himself, stretching his body like he was doing school-era calisthenics, as if talking to himself, "My biggest advantage is [Tower Transformation], because it's my only talent!"

"A unique talent, which means that under normal circumstances, only I can possess the Mutation Tower."

Beast Tamer, Sword Tower, Open and Hidden Arrow Tower, Rocket Launch Tower—these are all mutated towers, far surpassing the capabilities of conventional defensive towers. Li Hanqiang believes that this [Tower Transformation] can create miracles.

"In addition, we must vigorously develop the Demon Mountain Cave! Raiding across Chaos City is the gateway to a new world, so developing lesser demons is especially important. Only when the lesser demons are strong will we have the strength to raid."

"Robbing across Chaos City—it's called robbery, but it's really more of a tactic, and a shameless one at that, a 'ruthless' one at that. With a rocket launcher, and a well-timed attack, if we're lucky, we can kidnap their governor, their citizens, their void airships—that would be outrageous!"

"As long as there are enough rocket launch towers, no city is unconquerable!"

Li Hanqiang felt that he should start paying more attention to information about other Chaos Cities from now on, and look for some suitable targets to rob.

There are a number of streamers on live streaming platforms who have chosen the Chaos City Lord profession. They expose their own Chaos City to attract fans. We should pay more attention to them in the future.

Of course, it's unethical and morally reprehensible to directly raid and rob someone's Chaos City without any prior grudge; one should consider the potential gains and losses.

Li Hanqiang also thought of the order to attack the city.

Most of the people on the gold coin challenge leaderboard chose to remain anonymous and did not reveal their Chaos City ID number, probably because many of them were afraid of being attacked.

Li Hanqiang, however, believed that whether it was robbery or being attacked, as long as it was done well, one could make money.

If the city is successfully defended, the attacking side will be giving away experience and resources.

Robbing at the right time and being attacked at the right time are the two legs that make you rich. Only by working together can you move fast.

Li Hanqiang had previously recklessly and thoughtlessly revealed his Chaos City ID number for the sake of pleasure. However, now that he possessed the wise little monk and the three-headed tiger of the Flame Demon, he felt that perhaps he should, within a controllable scope, play some tricks of feigning weakness to lure others into "committing crimes."

As he thought about it, Li Hanqiang couldn't help but laugh. "It's a game, you have to have acting skills!"

There are also the talents and abilities of the governors, which also require careful development; it's unreliable to expect them to act freely.

After stretching his limbs a bit, Li Hanqiang's mind cleared up considerably. He put on his gaming helmet and logged back in...

At this very moment, at the entrance to the world instance of Linghai City, a major city in the region, Emperor Tianhe is listening to a report on a major business deal.

"Really? He's unwilling to join Tianhe?" Emperor Tianhe said calmly.

As the guild leader of Tianhe Guild, one of the top ten guilds in the online gaming world, Emperor Tianhe possesses a wealth of game information. Before the global open beta of Endless World, he organized numerous teams to research and analyze the various classes in Endless World, including players who had participated in the mysterious closed beta.

The Chaos City Lord is a unique profession in the Endless World, which Emperor Tianhe naturally analyzed and studied in detail. However, he ultimately concluded that the Chaos City Lord profession is too passive, too easily targeted, and not worth investing in. Although owning a Chaos City may seem glamorous, it is easily destroyed. For example, in a siege battle, if one cannot hold it, one will be reduced to nothing.

The so-called defensive towers only look powerful; they cannot move and are passively defended. They can be easily destroyed with siege machinery, and even without siege machinery, they are still easy to destroy.

For example, the blueprint for building the bear trap that he sold to Li Hanqiang was seen by some players who participated in the closed beta. They said that the bear trap has very low durability, only 100 points. It's okay to deal with wild monsters, but if players are attacking a city, it can be permanently broken after a few hits.

In the end, Emperor Tianhe and all the experts from the Tianhe Guild chose the Adventurer class. He actually harbored ambitions, planning to join a faction and then use a void airship to specifically attack the Chaos City of players from other factions.

That's not using a siege order to attack a city, it's a direct invasion.

Emperor Tianhe saw that Li Hanqiang had obtained two BOSS first kill announcements in a row, so he wanted to recruit him to boost the guild's popularity, but unexpectedly, this person did not accept the offer.

"If he doesn't want to come, then he doesn't want to come. We can only blame him for missing a good opportunity. With this person's personality, he probably won't be smug for long, and Chaos City won't be able to develop."

Emperor Tianhe waved his hand and led his team back into the burning ruins.

Although the first kill announcements for the BOSS in this world dungeon have already been claimed, no adventurer team has yet managed to clear it.

Li Hanqiang immediately started the 11th wave of monster siege after logging in.

This time, the siege monsters are slimes.

Slimes are arguably the most common monsters in online games, and they are usually low-level. However, these siege slimes are all as big as oxen, reaching level 24, which is by no means a low-level monster!

Their bodies are like dark green jelly, with big eyes and mouths. They have no hands or feet and crawl like snails. They move slowly, but there are many of them. One after another, a large number of them surge out of the spacetime wormhole, just like green jelly flowing out.

As they appeared, the Flame Tower activated, the three-headed tiger of the Flame Demon roared, and the wise little monk sighed and sat on the Chaos Stone Slab to begin chanting scriptures.
