Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 13 Beast Brand Bicycles

"Would I be afraid if it could set fire to the camp buildings?"

Lei Chi silently imagined the scenario of launching a third wave of jungle monsters with the current turret configuration.

The small green snake's killing efficiency remains unchanged. It hits once and inflicts poison gas, then you can ignore it. The fire slime with 12 health points will be poisoned to death after four seconds. Its attack speed is 0.5, so it can be considered to kill one every two seconds. With a tower in front, half of the fire slimes can be filtered out.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Flame Slimes that run out of the Little Green Snake's range will be spaced two meters apart, allowing the Bubble Turtle to pick them off. The first three attacks can kill the first two, the fourth can kill the third, and the sixth can kill the fourth. From the seventh attack onwards, it can kill one with a single attack. Its killing efficiency is basically one every two seconds, a perfect pick-up operation.

Therefore, in theory, the little green snake, together with the bubble turtle, can just break through the third wave of monster invasion.

Lei Chi believed that when playing games, one must play cautiously and develop one's character, but one should not be overly cautious when it is time to charge in. Since he had already determined that his own defensive towers had enough firepower, there was no need to waste time building up another ranged tower. He immediately requested the system notification to initiate the third wave of jungle monster invasion.

During the three-minute preparation time, Lei Chi adjusted the position of the defensive tower.

After defeating the second wave of monsters, the length of the War Corridor increased by 50 meters, with the increase occurring on the side closest to the camp plaza.

In addition, meter markers appeared along the war corridor, with the starting point being "0 meters" and the ending point being "150 meters".

Lei Chi moved the Little Green Snake to "20 meters" and the Bubble Turtle to "100 meters".

"Even if my prediction is wrong, at most I'll miss one Flame Slime. Can't I beat that in a one-on-one fight? This is a sure thing!"

Lei Chi donned the Silver Scale Breastplate and stood at the end of the War Corridor. Soon, he saw the invading Flame Slime.

Flame Slime is a jelly-like slime that emits blue flames. It crawls forward like a snail, leaving flames on the ground. Its death effect is quite interesting; it explodes with a bang, scattering flames around it, which looks rather magical. However, it is still just a low-level monster.

As Lei Chi had anticipated, the Flame Slime failed to cause much of a stir. The Little Green Snakes filtered out half of them, and the Bubble Turtle perfectly picked up the remaining monsters. The entire monster invasion lasted only seventeen minutes before it ended.

"Ding! Congratulations on defeating the third wave of monsters! Rewards have been calculated, your level has increased to LV3, and your level cap has been raised to LV3!"

"Ding! Your camp square area has increased by one acre."

"Ding! You can start the fourth wave of monster invasion at any time. The fourth wave of monster invasion consists of LV4 Horned Slimes with 24 HP, a movement speed of 1 meter per second, and a spawn rate of one per second, for a total of 1000."

"Ding! Please note that the Horned Slime possesses the attack skill [Jump Charge]. This skill can be used on the Camp Master after the Horned Slime enters the Camp Plaza. The skill's range is 10 meters."

After the system notification sounded, Lei Chi's secret camp shook slightly, and the area of ​​the camp square indeed increased, now about three acres in size. This is actually not very large; one acre is about 667 square meters, so three acres is about 2,000 square meters.

For the next fourth wave of monster invasions, I dared not open the Thunder Pool.

It's obvious they can't hold on.

The little green snake is quite powerful, adding 10 seconds of poison damage to its physical attack. When it deals a full 24 points of damage, it's just enough to kill the Horned Slime. With it standing in front, taking down half of the Horned Slime is no problem.

The key is the missing horned slime; Bubble Turtle won't be able to handle that.

"The little green snake is really helpful. If I had two little green snakes, I could easily get through this fourth wave. Now I can only look forward to the next compensation chest. Life is getting boring again. Well, I'll just have to go dig the ground with the orc laborers."

Lei Chi entered the mine.

He now treats digging as a recreational activity; after digging for a while, he comes out and rides his bicycle around the camp square...

After the orc laborer was resurrected, Lei Chi discovered that his loyalty had dropped to 20 points, and his gold mining efficiency was now only 30%, with each pickaxe stroke yielding only 0.6 copper coins.

"Digging is a dead end. Your life's value lies in dying. I hereby declare that from this moment on, you are a militia member. From now on, whenever players invade, you must transform into a militia member, bravely grab your pickaxe, and fight them. Understand?"

Lei Chi was also bored, so he lectured the orc laborer. The latter scratched his head blankly, and with his intelligence, he naturally did not understand the meaning of Lei Chi's words.

As time passed, Lei Chi finally endured the end of the camp protection period, only to have someone else launch an invasion against her camp.

The one who launched the invasion was none other than Wu Jingang!

He also brought the three brothers, one short, one fat, and one thin.

"Something's not right with this guy! He's been hacked repeatedly, how can he still be developing so fast?"

"I knew he was a pro player retraining; he definitely got a starting bonus!"

"Looking back now, I realize that he was so arrogant and domineering because he had something to rely on."

"Is it possible that he's just particularly fast at digging? I stole a gold coin from him before!"

"Now that you mention it, I do remember. He had an orc laborer. Could that orc laborer be a super slave, the kind who can mine gold incredibly fast...?"

The four of them arrived at the war corridor, but instead of moving forward, they gathered together and began to discuss among themselves.

After unlocking the War Hall, players can check basic information about their secret camp by player ID.

Before Wu Jingang and his three companions arrived, they learned that the defense index of Lei Chi's secret camp had reached 7 points and that it had broken through the third wave of monster invasion, which puzzled them greatly.

At this moment, Lei Chi appeared on a bicycle. He was wearing a silver-scaled breastplate, carrying a mining pickaxe, and laughed three times before rushing over to fight Wu Jingang and his men.

Behind Lei Chi followed a reluctant, dawdling orc laborer.

Players cannot enter the War Corridor when wild monsters invade, but there is no such restriction when players invade.

"Wait a moment!"

The obese Ma Dongqi suddenly shouted at Lei Chi, "Brother, you've gotten yourself into trouble. Of all people to offend, you had to offend Yan Xiaoyan. As the saying goes, 'Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with.' Yan Xiaoyan is both a woman and a petty man. It's better to offend a gentleman than a petty man. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but a petty man's revenge is never too late. Yan Xiaoyan has mobilized a lot of people to launch a series of invasions against your camp. We're just the first wave. I advise you, either back down and apologize in the public channel, or delete your account and start over with a new one. Otherwise, with her constantly sending people to mess with you, you won't be able to play anymore!"

Lei Chi burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Does a petty person seek revenge from morning till night?

This is wonderful!

He stopped his bicycle, picked up his pickaxe, and said, "What do we men have to fear from petty people? Go back and tell that wretched woman to bring out whatever she's got the ability to do, I'll cover for her!"

"That's too fierce!"

Su Youlin sighed. In the early stages of a game, who wouldn't want a stable environment for development? He just didn't understand Lei Chi's thought process. Judging from this person's words and actions, he really felt like he was crazy.

Lei Chi then said, "Stop wasting your time! Draw your weapons! Today, let's fight to the death, three hundred rounds in total!"

After saying that, he started charging forward on his bicycle, ringing the bell loudly.

"Where did this bastard get his bicycle?"

Wu Jingang's eyes widened as he stared at Lei Chi's beast-brand bicycle, shouting, "Go! Kill him! Take the bicycle! Little girls will definitely love this bicycle!"
