Chapter 2: The First Wish
Night fell sooner than expected.
For safety reasons, the farmers who had gone out to work were recalled and sent to live in civilian houses.
In addition to restoring farmers' physical strength and energy, dwellings also served as defensive structures, protecting farmers from harm.
Lin Chuan looked outside.
Under the pitch-black night, who knows what dangers lurk.
"We have a large population and abundant resources now."
"For safety's sake, build more wooden arrow towers."
Lin Chuan built four more tower bases around his territory, upgrading them to wooden arrow towers.
Eight arrow towers enclose the tent and wishing tower.
Under the cover of darkness.
Only the arrow towers within the territory emitted faint flames.
suddenly.
The outermost arrow towers suddenly began to attack.
An arrow pierced the night sky.
It disappeared with a "do".
Immediately afterwards, a bloodcurdling scream was heard.
It disappeared again not long after.
"Ding-dong."
"First kill achieved, 1 Gray Wolf defeated, reward 1 First Kill Chest".
These are monsters from the forbidden area!
The arrow tower can be instantly killed with a single shot.
Lin Chuan opened the Lord System and a wooden treasure chest appeared in his personal inventory.
First kill treasure chest.
open!
"Ding-dong."
"Obtained the blueprint for the Repeating Crossbow Tower."
New blueprints!
After learning the skill, you can upgrade the wooden arrow tower to a repeating crossbow arrow tower.
Looks like I got lucky.
Compared to the wooden arrow tower, the repeating crossbow arrow tower has an additional repeating crossbow skill.
It can fire two arrows at once.
Although there was no increase in attack power or rate of fire, the total damage was increased.
Upgrades require iron ore, wood, stone, and food.
The repeating crossbow tower is a green arrow tower. After selecting to learn it, all eight wooden arrow towers were upgraded to repeating crossbow towers.
My sense of security has increased significantly.
Meanwhile, the torches on the crossbow towers also lit up considerably.
It can illuminate a larger area.
After keeping watch for more than an hour without any new monsters appearing, Lin Chuan, feeling somewhat tired, returned to his tent to rest.
Before going to sleep, I opened the Lord System's interactive interface.
It includes a world channel, regional channels, friends channel, and a trading marketplace.
The world channel is currently in a state of being muted.
The regional channel displays the number of people in the current region.
Lin Chuan is currently in the Dark Forest, which shows that the number of lords in the area is 8000/10000.
The total was 10,000, but now only 8,000 remain.
Two thousand people died shortly after I transmigrated here.
This number is somewhat alarming.
Many people didn't even survive the first wave of monsters.
Keep in mind that the first wave of monsters only consisted of one gray wolf.
Lin Chuan guessed that many lords' first randomly assigned arrow tower was likely not very good.
Mining gold is too slow, you can't reach level three, and you can't unlock the defensive arrow towers, which is why you get killed by monsters.
Even for myself, unless I'm lucky enough to randomly encounter the Wishing Tower and replenish my resources...
I'm afraid it won't be possible to build a wooden arrow tower so quickly.
The subsequent friends channel requires adding friends to use.
"Isn't there a place for the lords to communicate?"
Lin Chuan then opened the trading mall, where there was a dedicated trading channel.
This resulted in a large number of messages going viral.
Here, you can see the exchanges between lords from different regions.
"Haha, I got a purple magic arrow tower by random, and I killed the wolf on the first night with ease."
"I'm envious. Mine is just a blue arrow tower, but luckily dealing with tonight's wolves will be easy."
"Damn it, can someone tell me how to use the Hero Tower? Why can't I use mine? If I hadn't gone up there and killed the wolves myself, I would be dead tonight."
"Wow, bro, that's pretty impressive. He can actually kill a wolf with his bare hands."
"Hero Towers are towers that amplify attributes. They have a passive effect that can amplify your attributes within your territory. Otherwise, how could you kill the Grey Wolf?"
"No wonder, I was wondering why your punches were so powerful."
"No, there are two types of hero towers: summoning hero towers and amplifying hero towers. Summoning hero towers can summon a hero to fight, while amplifying hero towers amplify attributes. Both are rare arrow towers."
"Wow, I really want a Summoning Hero Tower."
Is summoning hero towers the best option?
"That's the case for now, but I've heard there's another unique type of arrow tower with amazing functions, but I've never heard of anyone getting it randomly."
"Sold metal, exchange for gold coins at a ratio of 1 to 50."
.....
The chat content is diverse, and the screen refreshes very quickly.
After Lin Chuan looked at it for a while, all he saw were various transaction information.
"Hero Tower".
"And there are these amazing arrow towers."
"How about I make a wish tomorrow and ask for a Hero's Tower?"
Lin Chuan thought to himself.
Sleepiness washed over him, and Lin Chuan fell into a deep sleep.
On the first night, Lin Chuan had a dream.
In his dream, someone told Lin Chuan.
In the Dark Tower Defense Forbidden Zone, territory is fundamental, but to obtain rare resources, one must leave the territory to explore.
Those rare resources are all hidden in various places within the tower defense forbidden area.
Meanwhile, some secret realms contain extremely rare tower defense structures.
These secret realms were left behind by a civilization that was once destroyed in a forbidden land.
In addition, the Tower Defense Forbidden Zone is not home to only the Blue Star civilization; there are also Tower Defense Lords from other civilizations.
We need to be especially careful of people from other races.
They are more dangerous than the monsters in the forbidden area of the tower defense.
......
The next day.
A ray of light shone into the tent.
Lin Chuan opened his eyes, and what came into view was the morning in the forbidden area of the tower defense.
This is a true early morning.
The sun hangs high in the sky.
The temperature rose instantly.
The intense heat made Lin Chuan extremely irritable.
"water."
"I want to drink water."
Hearing the call, the farmers placed some wild fruit in front of Lin Chuan.
"My lord."
"No water source was found nearby."
"These wild fruits are all we have to quench our thirst for now."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly, quickly ate the wild fruit, and then felt a little puzzled.
Why is it suddenly so hot?
At this moment, a message popped up from the lord system.
"Ding-dong."
"The climate in the tower defense restricted area changes randomly."
"It usually lasts for seven days."
The current climate is arid.
"Crop yields are declining and water sources are drying up."
"You need to drink plenty of water when working outdoors."
"The monsters in the forbidden area are less active during the day and mostly stay in shady places."
"Nighttime activities have increased."
"All lords are advised to store water in preparation for drought."
Arid climate.
Lin Chuan looked at the bushes near the territory.
Under the scorching sun, many of the berries had dried up.
Many of the ten basic farmers under his command also had chapped lips, clearly indicating that they were suffering from dehydration.
"We need to resolve the water shortage crisis as soon as possible."
The original intention was to use the Wishing Tower to randomly select a Hero Tower.
It seems that solving the water source problem should be the priority.
Lin Chuan arrived in front of the wishing tower and put his hands together in prayer.
"The dry season is coming."
"I wish to fundamentally solve the water shortage problem."
As the wish was fulfilled.
A flash of white light appeared on the wishing tower.
A moment later.
The Lord System notification sounded.
"Ding-dong."
"New building acquired: Sweetwater Well!"
This time, Lin Chuan's new building was completed immediately after he made his wish.
It was built right next to the bushes.
[Name]: Sweetwater Well
[Function]: Water source
[Note]: Functional building, cannot be upgraded.
He dug a well for himself.
This wishing tower is really useful.
Lin Chuan ordered the local farmers to fetch water.
I took a sip; it was sweet and refreshing.
"With this well, we don't need to worry about drought."
At the same time, it can irrigate these bushes to continue obtaining food.
But Lin Chuan quickly shook his head.
"Even if the bushes recover, how much food can they produce?"
"Currently, everyone in the entire restricted area is experiencing a widespread water shortage."
"Water is a scarce resource. It's definitely worthwhile to use our own water to exchange for food."
He immediately opened the trading channel and bought 50 bamboo tubes, filling them with water.
