Tower Defense Lord from Earth

Chapter 54 Huaxia Dragon City

Since the Giant Ant King was captured and used to refine pills, this fourth wave of monster invasion was nothing special to Liu Huasheng.

Before long, the void rift closed, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and everything seemed to return to its former beauty.

Once all the monsters have been cleared out, this fourth wave of monster invasion will be over.

Yellow Dog Awei approached Liu Huasheng and mechanically broadcasted the system announcement: "Ding, all invading monsters have been eliminated. Chaos City's durability has decreased to zero. Congratulations on perfectly repelling the fourth wave of monster invasion!"

"Ding! The trading post system and player forum have been unlocked. You are rewarded with 400 gold coins, 400 wood points, and a random treasure chest. The invading monsters dropped some loot; please collect it!"

"Ding! The fifth wave of monster invasion will begin promptly at 8:00 AM seven days from now. Please remain vigilant."

As soon as the system broadcast ended, a golden treasure chest appeared in front of Liu Huasheng.

Yellow Dog Awei continued, "Congratulations, Master! You have established a firm foothold in the Chaos Star Sea. Now you are qualified to name Chaos City. To avoid other lord players taking the best names first, I suggest you start naming it now!"

"A name?" Liu Huasheng thought for a moment and said, "I come from Earth, China, and as a descendant of the dragon, let's call this Chaos City Huaxia Dragon City!"

"Ding! Naming successful! Congratulations, master, on becoming the city lord of Huaxia Dragon City! Related facilities will be automatically issued, and the Chaos City information panel will be updated!"

"Hmm!" Liu Huasheng nodded and asked, "Is there anything else to report?"

Yellow Dog Awei shook his head and said, "No more!"

"Then go outside and collect your spoils!"

After sending the yellow dog Awei away, Liu Huasheng opened the random treasure chest in front of him.

With a flash of golden light, three items appeared in front of Liu Huasheng.

Liu Huasheng took out the first item, a random skill book, which is a bound item. Using it will randomly grant one general skill.

Without hesitation, Liu Huasheng used it, and a new skill was quickly added to his skill list: [Reconnaissance].

[Reconnaissance: With this skill, you can lock onto an enemy with your gaze and obtain information about players, monsters, items, etc. Please experience it for yourself.]

Liu Huasheng then took out a second item from the treasure chest: a resource exchange voucher, which could be used to exchange for 1,000 kilograms of random food!

"Food? There's a noodle shop, so I don't lack food. Let's see what I can exchange for!"

Liu Huasheng used the voucher, and then stacks of neatly arranged dried rats appeared in front of him!

"Holy crap, more dried rats! Is dried rat a staple food in this world?"

Liu Huasheng muttered something, then looked at the third item in the treasure chest. It was a set of costumes called [Black Knight]!

[Black Knight: A non-attribute costume, a full-body armor crafted from black lightweight metal. Once donned, it will never wear out, remains permanently clean, and offers a degree of protection!]

"An attribute-less outfit? Garbage! It doesn't even look good, it's way worse than my bulletproof armor!"

Liu Huasheng shook his head, feeling that the reward for defending the city this time was a bit lackluster. He wondered what the quality of the loot dropped by monsters outside the city would be.

After collecting the dried rats, he wasn't in a hurry to leave the "monitoring room." Instead, he immediately began studying the new features the system had opened up, namely the player forum and the trading system!

The player forum page and trading board are embedded in the personal information panel. Liu Huasheng opened the player forum first.

He had assumed there wouldn't be much information on the forum, but to his surprise, it was extremely lively, with posts constantly being updated, some even dating back to before today.

"It seems some players have already unlocked the player forums!"

Liu Huasheng understood, and he randomly clicked on a post that was relatively popular.

The title of this post is "[Some guesses about the new version]".

The poster's nickname is "Old Jiang".

"As we all know, consciousness generates kinetic energy, and thought gives birth to spacetime. This is why the universe is expanding, the world is ascending in dimensions, and why the chaotic starry sea revives once every ten years!"

The great cosmic will manifests as a system that, every 10 years, guides numerous players into a new world. This system aims to stabilize the world through the players' thoughts and consciousness, allowing it to gradually integrate with the larger world!

Negative fantasies and dark energy in the mind will erupt every once in a while, which is a great calamity, a disaster that is difficult for any universe to avoid.

Our great system transformed that dark energy into invading monsters and sent them into the newborn world. While stabilizing space, it also averted a cosmic catastrophe, purified our minds, enhanced our abilities, and enabled the stable operation of the universe and the continuous expansion of the world.

The above are the cosmic truths discovered by our scientists, and also the underlying logic of the world's game.

However, this new version has surprised everyone. This is the first version update, which will definitely disrupt the plans of countless advanced players and affect the strategies of countless top players. As for the specific update content, it is still unknown!

After much thought, I'd like to share a few guesses with you all.

First, this chaotic restart has attracted hundreds of billions of players to the system, the highest number in nearly a thousand years, far exceeding the 100 million of the previous decade.

Historical records indicate that after the last time the Starsea system received such a large number of players, it remained silent for a century, and it took a full 105 years before the system began to receive players again.

So I guess the next revival of the Star Sea might be a hundred years from now. We are very lucky to have caught the last train within a hundred years!

Secondly, this chaotic restart not only brought in players from our own universe's tower defense world, but also new players from exploring new planets.

What is planetary exploration?

I believe that it must be a planet in another universe.

We all know that great systems are constantly growing, their energy covers the entire universe, and it is overflowing, showing a tendency to actively spread outwards.

Perhaps, in this very era, the great system broke through the limitations of space, infiltrated the new universe, and took control of new planets—that is, pioneered planets!

To explore is the beginning of to conquer!

This signifies that our great cosmic will has begun to conquer other universes.

Only in this way can the explanation of attracting new players be made sense.

Therefore, the new universe will inevitably lag behind and be powerless to contend with the great system!

The new players who explore the planet will inevitably fall behind. Perhaps they are primitive people who have not received compulsory tower defense education and have no family support. When they come to this chaotic world, they will inevitably be confused.

In short, they are certainly not qualified to contend with us, and we should make them submit as conquerors!

My third guess is about the new version. Since the version is named Starry Sea, I guess the system might lead to interstellar warfare in the future.

Given the current tensions among the major empires, I predict that ten years from now, with the world merging, veteran players may be guided by the system to wage war. As players of the new era, we should choose our teams carefully at that time.

Okay, that's a brief summary of the points above. If any new players who are exploring new planets see this post, feel free to leave a comment so we can discuss and exchange ideas. If my guesses are correct, please upvote this post...

There were many comments following the post. Liu Huasheng squinted and stared at them for a long time, his worldview being strongly impacted.

"Does consciousness generate kinetic energy, and thought give birth to spacetime? Is human consciousness the cause of the universe's expansion and the world's dimensional ascension? Is this scientifically sound? Is the system the embodiment of the universe's will? Are new players exploring new planets destined to fall behind?"

Liu Huasheng shook his head. Following the logic of the poster "Old Jiang," he did not believe the claim that "the new universe is necessarily backward."

No one else knows, only he himself knows that he has a "magical tower defense system" and a cheat code given by a mysterious force. The original system has been tampered with!

Liu Huasheng had reason to believe that a similar system might exist in his home universe, and it must be even more powerful than the system in this tower defense universe to be able to arbitrarily alter the game settings of this world.

"I am a human from Earth, and I am proud! You little alien player think you can make me submit like a conqueror? Hah, not a chance!"

Liu Huasheng silently clicked "dislike" on Lao Jiang's post.

He quickly clicked on another post titled "[Early Game Tower Ranking!]"
