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

Chapter 17: +2 Orange Equipment

"I wish for an item that can protect the territory tonight, whether it's a hero, equipment, turret, or anything else."

Lin Chuan made his wish for the day in front of the wishing tower.

The LV2 Wishing Tower quickly responded to Lin Chuan.

A white light flashed.

A moment later, a blueprint appeared in Lin Chuan's hand.

[Elven Treant Tower Blueprint]: After construction, it upgrades to an Elven Treant, which has a poisonous aura that poisons all units within a 500-meter radius. Units with low resistance will die instantly. It also has multiple archer abilities and can attack five targets simultaneously.

A special arrow tower unit, similar to an infantry arrow tower.

It possesses an aura skill, making it more advanced than infantry arrow towers.

One costs 20,000 gold coins and 200 magic cores to build.

"We don't have enough money or magic cores."

Lin Chuan opened the warehouse and listed all the goblin's equipment in the market shop for gold coins.

Goblin equipment is mostly low-level or even completely unequipped.

The selling price is not high, and there is a large shortage of gold coins.

"Your Lordship"

"The goblin's lair chest is still there; we haven't opened it yet."

Liya gave a timely reminder.

After completing the clearing of several territories, she returned to her own territory.

"That reminded me."

Reach out and place your hand on the treasure chest.

"open."

"Ding-dong."

"Open the Goblin Nest Chest".

"Received 5 Magic Cores".

"Obtained Goblin Treasure Map *1".

"Obtain Shadow Dagger*1".

Compared to beast lairs, goblin lair chests are of a higher quality and contain better items.

However, the number of magic cores is still insufficient.

The treasure map brought Lin Chuan a pleasant surprise.

[Goblin Treasure Map]: Goblins will hide some of the looted supplies, and only the leader knows the location of these supplies. This treasure map records the location, but be careful, as there are often traps at the location of the treasure.

"Ryeah".

Lin Chuan found a hero skilled in reconnaissance.

"Your Mightiness."

"Bring your strongbow guards and dig out this treasure."

"Be careful, there might be traps and dangers lurking over there."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Finally, there was a dagger.

[Name]: Shadow Dagger

[Quality]: Orange

[Enhancement]: +2

[Attributes]: +10 Agility, +10 Stamina

[Skill]: Poisoning

[Note]: A poisoned dagger, of orange quality and enhanced, but unfortunately it is still an ordinary weapon, not a magical item, but its value is still considerable, making it more suitable for assassins.

"It's a good thing."

"But it's not suitable for me to use."

Lin Chuan stroked the equipment.

"Exchange the money."

"Magic Core".

Given the current scarcity of equipment, it should be enough to at least obtain the Demon Core for defeating the Demon.

I opened the market shop and posted the dagger's attributes in the channel.

"A newly released dagger."

"The lord can use it; just replace the magic core."

"Bring your own price; don't reply if you don't."

Currently, most of the equipment used by lords is either plain or green.

Blue and purple are both very rare.

And orange is the best.

After Lin Chuan posted the equipment's attribute chart, he received a bunch of unbelievable responses.

"Orange-grade equipment???"

"I'm not seeing things, am I? There really is an orange item."

"It's an orange-tier item with +2 enhancement, that's a bit overpowered."

"I'm still using a standard iron sword, while some people are already using orange weapons with skills."

"Lin Chuan, it's him again? He's so lucky!"

"Wow, a level 6 expert! In our entire Dark Forest region, there are only about a dozen lords who have reached level 6 territory. Lin Chuan was the first one to level up."

"No wonder, they're so strong."

"He was the one who sold wolf skin armor and fine iron swords before."

"Holy crap, now that you mention it, I just bought some basic equipment from him."

"He also sold the goblin corpses."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I know where this equipment came from. It must have been obtained from a treasure chest after conquering the goblin's lair."

"It's very possible. It's almost impossible to find such top-quality equipment in other beast lairs."

"Lin Chuan, did you really take down the goblin lair?"

"Yes, I just got it."

There was nothing to hide, but in the eyes of the other lords, Lin Chuan was courting death.

"What a pity, such a big shot, he can only survive tonight."

"Lin Chuan, don't you know that if you conquer the lair during the day, you'll face ten times the monster attacks at night?"

"Brother Lin, you're about to die, why don't you give me this weapon?"

.....

There are still three thousand lords remaining in the Dark Forest region.

Seven thousand people died in just a few days.

Those who survived were all quite capable.

Moreover, the mortality rate is declining rapidly, indicating that these lords have now adapted to the tower defense forbidden zone.

Their certainty that Lin Chuan would die was based on their assessment of the current strength of the lord.

It is possible to block attacks from wild beasts.

But three thousand goblins is absolutely impossible.

Lin Chuan didn't refute it; survival isn't about words.

You have to rely on your own strength.

He turned off the chat in the trading channel; it was only for sending messages.

The lords inside are not your trading partners.

Those interested in making a transaction will come to us after seeing this.

Given the rarity of orange-tier weapons, Lin Chuan believed it would be available very soon.

Just as he expected.

Not long after, a message popped up in the private chat channel.

"Lin Chuan, do you know me? I'm Zhang Wenyuan, one of the top ten lords in the Dark Forest. Five of them have added me as a friend, and we're planning to form a small mutual aid organization."

"You should join too; you'll be able to use the orange-tier weapons."

"Let's conquer Snow Wolf Town together from now on."

"Oh, by the way, we've already taken over the outer perimeter of Snow Wolf Town and are preparing to challenge the core area."

"Come here, let's all come together."

Human beings' greatest strength is their ability to stick together.

Once they became familiar with their environment, it wasn't hard to understand why high-ranking lords would form organizations together.

Lin Chuan had anticipated this.

However, he doesn't have that idea for the time being.

In the early stages, when their strength was weak and they couldn't even take care of themselves, they were unwilling to waste time managing an organization.

"Not interested."

After decisively rejecting the other party, Zhang Wenyuan was clearly still not giving up.

After rambling on and on, Lin Chuan prepared to block him.

Suddenly, the other party sent a message.

"How about this?"

"I'll take the three hundred magic cores."

Clearly, they knew Lin Chuan wasn't easily fooled, so they had no choice but to offer a price.

"1000!"

Lin Chuan set a high price; in business, you ask for the moon and then negotiate the price down.

If the other party is willing to continue the conversation, it means they want this item.

Lin Chuan could roughly estimate the bottom line. If the other party completely ignored him, their demand was not high, making it difficult to sell at a good price.

"Too expensive, I can't afford it. How about 500? Give me face. Magic cores aren't cheap these days, and besides, no one else in this area can afford so many magic cores except me."

"800!"

Lin Chuan ignored the other party's nonsense.

"600, that's the absolute lowest price. Let's be friends, I'll send you a map of the Snow Wolf Town supply depot!"

"make a deal!"

The price of 600 magic cores is about the same now.

There was a premium, but it wasn't too outrageous, and it was within Lin Chuan's budget.

It can build three elven tree towers.

As for the map showing the location of the enemy's supplies, it's a bonus.

"etc."

"I mispronounced it, it should be 550."

The other party seems to want to back out.

"650".

"600!"

The deal was finalized.

This is the edge of the dark forest.

Lord Zhang Wenyuan looked pained.

"Too expensive."

"A legendary weapon with 600 magic cores!"

"Lin Chuan is really stubborn and a shrewd businessman."

I originally wanted to fool them, but unfortunately the other party wasn't a pushover either.

Zhang Wenyuan didn't hate Lin Chuan; it was just normal business, and he wasn't crazy.

In the absence of conflicting interests, befriending a lord with considerable strength is the right approach.

Furthermore, these 600 magic cores were not provided by him alone; they were collected by other lords within the organization.

They were indeed trying to conquer Snow Wolf Town, but only on easy difficulty.

After obtaining the orange weapon, they planned to try out the town center.

This is why Zhang Wenyuan spent a huge sum of money to buy it.

"But this guy Lin Chuan actually dared to challenge the goblin's lair right now."

"It seems a bit reckless."

"Or do you have the capability?"

Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help but become interested.

More people are hoping for Lin Chuan's misfortune and taking pleasure in his misfortune.

After all, this guy made a hefty profit off me.

at the same time.

After obtaining the magic core, Lin Chuan first emptied his warehouse and exchanged it all for gold coins.

The shortfall was covered by selling some standard equipment and sweet water.

"Ding-dong."

"You have built the Treant Arrow Tower."

The first one was built on the south side, where the goblin's lair is located, where stone walls and arrow towers have already been built.

It is also a key area for defense.

"The next two."

"There is a significant shortage of gold coins."

"Let's go to the secret realm."

Lin Chuan summoned the heroes and the legion.

After leaving Lia and Raya to guard the house.

They brought along heroes like Arthur and militia, and crushed the Secret Realm Token to teleport in.

"Ding-dong."

"Enter Snow Wolf Town on Normal Difficulty? Team up available. Team up?"

"no!"

"Initiating teleportation."

A flash of white light indicates that the teleportation vortex has been activated.

"Arthur, let's go."

"Yes, sir!"

"Normal difficulty"

"There should be more supplies."
