Tower Defense Lord, random Wishing Tower at the start of the game.

Chapter 3: Special Units of Transaction

"I'm dying of thirst! Help! Someone sell me some water!"

"Why is it suddenly so dry? It was fine yesterday."

"Tower defense forbidden zone, this is forbidden zone, everything here makes no sense."

"Haha, there's a river next to my territory, I'll go there to fetch water."

"Don't go there. Never go near the water source at this time. There are ferocious beasts waiting to drink there."

"Yes, yes, I just checked a puddle next to my territory, and it's full of high-level monsters."

"Waaaaah, I'm so thirsty! Can someone give me some water?"

......

The channel was refreshing with messages.

Lin Chuan's estimate was correct.

There is a widespread water shortage now.

Where there is water, it's like having a gold mine.

After all, whether it's the lord or the peasants under his command, they will die without water.

Fifty bamboo tubes were hung in the market, but no price was marked.

"Selling water! Fifty bamboo tubes of water in exchange for defense tower blueprints or rare materials."

There is not a general lack of forest resources.

The more than 10,000 resources from yesterday are still there.

While everyone is in need of water right now, let's exchange it for some rare items.

His message immediately drew criticism as soon as it was sent out.

"What? You're trying to raise the price on the spot, actually trying to trade water for blueprints?"

"Exactly! How valuable are those blueprints? A few bottles of water can't compare!"

"No exchange, no exchange, get the hell out of here, you unscrupulous merchant!"

"This lord named Lin Chuan, everyone is facing difficulties right now. Let's unite and overcome these difficulties together. If you distribute the water to everyone, they will definitely not forget you in the future."

For all this nonsense.

Lin Chuan didn't even bother to pay attention.

Take it or leave it.

It's not like I'm the one who doesn't have water to drink.

Close the trading channel.

Lin Chuan began upgrading the tent.

"The requirements for an LV4 tent have been met."

"Let's begin."

Resources are invested, and a short while later...

"Ding-dong."

"Upgrade complete. Your tent level has been increased to LV4, and the Militia Training Camp and Workshop have been unlocked."

Two new buildings; the militia training camp is military in nature.

Militia are used to train basic combat units, and with militia, one can go out and explore.

Workshops are technology-related buildings used for researching basic technologies.

The higher the building's level, the higher the level of militia training and technological research.

Open the construction panel and upgrade all buildings in the territory to LV4.

The workshop currently only has one technology.

[Basic Arrow Tower Enhancement]

After research, it can improve some of the arrow tower's attributes.

There aren't many resources available for the upgrade.

Lin Chuan selected the technology upgrade to level four.

The arrow tower's attack power has increased by four points.

"Each level increases the rate of fire by only a little, and the increase isn't significant."

"Basic technologies don't offer much benefit, but they are suitable for early-stage use."

Then Lin Chuan opened the barracks and chose to train the militia.

One militiaman occupies a small portion of the population.

The area around the territory needs to be explored, and the location of the surrounding monster lairs should be determined as soon as possible.

"Train ten first."

A basic militiaman requires ten gold coins, 100 units of wood, and 100 units of food.

It is a basic unit and its consumption is not high.

The training session was short, and soon ten militiamen armed with wooden spears and shields appeared around the camp.

[Name]: Militia

[Level]: LV4

[Attack]: 10+4

Attack Speed: 0.1

[Equipment]: Wooden spear, wooden shield

[Skill]: Basic Thrust (can be used once every five seconds)

[Note]: A basic combat unit, not very strong, but capable of dealing with some common wild beasts.

The ten militiamen were reorganized into two squads.

Two of them were selected as team leaders and given names.

From now on, your name will be Xiong Da (Big Bear) and Xiong Er (Second Bear).

"Yes, Your Lordship."

Lin Chuan didn't let them sit idle. He ordered them to take their respective squads out to scout and gather information about the surrounding area.

"Yes, my lord."

The two militia squads left.

Lin Chuan began working on the next phase of territory development.

"Upgrading the tent to LV5 has added a prerequisite."

"The objective is to destroy a monster's lair."

It seems that everyone before LV5 is in the beginner phase.

Reaching LV5 means that the lord has the strength to take the initiative to attack.

With information about the monster's lair, we need to train more soldiers.

Resources and population need to be replenished as soon as possible.

The population can be used to build more residential houses.

The main restriction on the number of residential buildings is the availability of land.

In the tower defense restricted area, the lord's territory is initially limited.

If you want to expand your territory, you still need to expand outwards.

Currently, the territory is only 1000*1000.

There is already a tent, eight arrow towers, a wishing tower, a blacksmith shop, a barracks, a house, and a well.

There are a total of 14 buildings, occupying 2/3 of the area.

There will be new buildings to follow.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Chuan decided to postpone the expansion.

We'll talk about it after we get the information about the monster's lair.

At this time.

The Tower Defense Lord system popped up a notification message.

"Ding-dong."

You have a new text message.

It's from the online store.

As the heat intensifies, many lords are finding it unbearable.

Under the scorching sun, moisture is consumed particularly quickly.

"Lin Chuan".

"I'll make a deal with you."

"I'll trade you using the Territory Purification Scroll."

The message was sent by a lord named Wei Shen.

He is so thirsty, he has no water.

They themselves didn't starve to death, but the people in their territory starved to death first.

Unlike ordinary subjects, Wei Shen's subjects have special attributes and can become special types of soldiers after they grow up.

In other words, he was lucky and got ten random ones at the start.

If these ten are trained, they can all grow into heroic units.

Wei Shen couldn't bear to let any of them die.

After seeing Lin Chuan trading water, Wei Shen contacted him without hesitation.

"The stuff is good."

Purification scrolls are valuable items, essential for every lord expanding their territory.

Because the land in the forbidden area of ​​the tower defense was contaminated.

To expand territory, the pollution on it must be cleaned up.

For Lin Chuan, who urgently needed to expand his territory, this thing came at a very opportune time.

"Three bamboo tubes".

Lin Chuan quoted his price.

This clearly could not satisfy Wei Shen.

The sweltering heat lasted for seven days.

With ten special units added to the mix, the daily drinking water would require ten bamboo tubes.

It requires 70 bamboo tubes of water.

"Could you add a little?"

"This thing is very rare."

Wei Shen asked in a consultative tone.

"no."

"Mine is sweet water, clear and refreshing, not muddy pond or river water."

"This is the price, no need to convert."

Things are rare.

In the current water shortage situation.

These essential daily necessities can see their prices skyrocket.

Wei Shen knew it was impossible; he just wanted to give it a try.

Looking at the bamboo tubes in Linchuan Mall.

He gritted his teeth.

"I have some special units."

"If trained, they will become hero units."

"Will this work?"

He then sent over the attribute panels of his subjects.

In the tower defense forbidden zone, the difference between hero units and ordinary soldiers lies in their growth potential and the aura skills they possess.

Soldiers have fixed skills and attributes after they are produced from the barracks.

However, special units are different; they grow into different heroes through battles, learning various knowledge, and different experiences.

Master different skills and acquire powerful combat aura skills.

Soldiers commanded by heroes can easily crush legions composed of ordinary soldiers.

"It's this kind of unit!"

"This lord named Wei Shen is really lucky."

Lin Chuan sighed slightly after seeing the attribute panel.

He then replied.

"One bamboo tube for 10 bamboo tubes."

This price is very low, but that's business.

Asking for exorbitant prices, then negotiating on the spot.

In addition, Lin Chuan also wanted to test how many special units the other party was willing to provide.

He certainly wanted as many as possible.

After all, these people will grow up to be heroes.
