Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 99 Boxer and Kung Fu Master

"Ding! Your secret camp has been maliciously invaded by players. Losses reported: 1458 gold coins lost, 20 militiamen killed, experience points wiped out. Awaiting respawn..."

"Ding, claim calculation in progress... Your claim amount is 100 gold coins, and your camp defense index is 675 (the minimum camp defense index during the invasion war). Based on the calculation, you will be awarded a claim chest worth 11291 gold coins. Would you like to claim it?"

"extract!"

While everyone was gathered, Lei Chi opened the compensation treasure chest.

"Ding! One insurance policy ensures the safety of the city. No fear of invasion, worry-free reconstruction. You have opened the claim treasure chest and obtained the following camp reconstruction materials: one Tier 1 Beast Tower construction blueprint, 2000 gold coins, 10 human slaves, two password treasure chest upgrade scrolls, and two [Random Lucky Event Scrolls]."

"Compensation worth over 10,000 gold coins... and they only offered 2000 gold coins?"

Lei Chi shook his head. He quickly took out the items from the compensation chest. The Beast Tower construction blueprint immediately turned into the Wild Donkey Construction Blueprint after he got it. Lei Chi was too lazy to build it and put it into his storage backpack first.

After acquiring 2,000 gold coins, Lei Chi used 100 to buy insurance, took 1000 to store in the Token Chest, and deposited the remaining 900 into the Armory's Research Fund Chest.

Lei Chi immediately used the [Password Treasure Chest Upgrade Scroll], so all five treasure chests in the gold mine hall became password treasure chests. The passwords for opening the latter two treasure chests were set by Lei Chi as: "Merciful Emperor Lei Chi" and "Wise Emperor Lei Chi."

Only the mimic chest remained in the shape of a regular gold mine chest.

As for the [Random Lucky Event Scroll], it is an exclusive special item. Using it will trigger a random lucky event. After a slight hesitation, Lei Chi went to the center of the camp square, took out the first scroll, and slowly unfolded it.

Once the scroll is unrolled, it transforms into light and disappears.

Then, Lei Chi received a system notification: "Ding, you have used a random lucky reel. A beneficial lucky event will occur in the camp: 10, 9, 8..."

As the countdown reached "1", a loud boom resounded, and Lei Chi felt the ground tremble. He then received a system notification: "Ding! Your War Guardian Slime King has achieved a sudden enlightenment, leveling up 6 times to reach LV15. He has unlocked the skills [Slime Ray] and [Resilience], providing 15 points of defense to the camp!"

"The Slime King has leveled up?"

Lei Chi looked towards the direction of the slime camp.

King Slime had been imprisoned there and used as a jungle farming machine in the Thunder Pool. He was only level nine before and leveled up very slowly. Now he has suddenly leveled up to level six, which is a good thing.

Raichi then used a second random event reel.

Soon, a thunderous boom came from the direction of the spacetime wormhole.

"Ding! Your fame has spread far and wide, and a group of refugees have come to you. You can choose to accept them or expel them. If you choose to accept them, they will enter the War Corridor and pledge allegiance to you. If you choose to expel them, the space-time portal will close."

Upon hearing the system notification, Lei Chi immediately chose to accept the refugees, and then he quickly ran to the war corridor to take a look.

Soon, a person slowly emerged from the spacetime wormhole.

The man had dark skin, was barefoot, shirtless, and rather thin. He had an afro hairstyle, a youthful appearance, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, and wore boxing gloves.

"Ding! Boxer Akxi has joined your secret camp. Boxer Akxi is a Bronze-tier hero unit (rare), currently at level 1. He has a simple personality, is tenacious and hardworking, and his lifelong pursuit is to become the greatest boxer. He can craft [sandbags] and [boxing gloves], and build special buildings such as [boxing rings]. Players are encouraged to explore for themselves."

Soon, another strange man entered the war corridor.

This strange man was tall, probably about 2.2 or 2.3 meters, and so thin that he was skin and bones. His legs were thin and long. He wore a long robe and looked like a middle-aged man. He wore a straw hat, had a long braid, and his hands were tucked into his sleeves.

"Ding! Kung Fu Master Yuan Yuanzi has joined your secret camp. Kung Fu Master Yuan Yuanzi is set as a Bronze-level hero unit (rare), currently at level 1. He has a simple personality, is taciturn, determined, and decisive in killing. He has created his own special moves, [Yuan Yuan Finger] and [Eighteen Leg Spear Styles], and pursues the pinnacle of martial arts."

Following these two, more ragged human men entered the war corridor; they were ordinary human slaves.

"Ding! 20 human slaves have joined your secret camp..."

Once all 20 human slaves have emerged from the spacetime wormhole, the wormhole will close.

Lei Chi stepped forward to greet boxer Aksi and kung fu master Yuan Yuanzi. He realized that this group of refugees consisted of two special talents and 20 human slaves, which was not bad.

Both special NPCs are taciturn. Lei Chi summons SpongeBob SquarePants and asks SpongeBob to take care of them.

As for the 20 human slaves, Lei Chi took them all to the militia training camp.

Lei Chi didn't have time to talk to boxer Akxi and kung fu master Yuan Yuanzi. He hurriedly packed some bamboo ink tubes, mounted the Motor Storm Carnival, and headed to the gang hall.

By this time, Hua Tianbao, Ye Beifeng, Xiao Qinghe, Lin Donglei, and others had all arrived.

When everyone saw Lei Chi in his silver armor, riding a white mechanical warhorse, they immediately paid their respects.

"Second-in-command, where did you get this fortune from?!"

"That mechanical warhorse must be a high-level mount, it looks so cool!"

"The second-in-command is invincible..."

Lin Donglei and his three companions were sycophants, showering Lei Chi with praise. However, even Xiao Qinghe's gaze towards Lei Chi changed slightly at this moment.

Hua Tianbao explained to Ye Beifeng from the side, "What my second brother is wearing is the Silver Tiger costume, a rare item for Beast players at the Expert rank in the Tower Defense Arena. How about it, isn't it cool? I'll be able to get a costume soon too!"

Xiao Qinghe approached Lei Chi and said, "Your warhorse is quite similar to Zhao Zilong's Motorized Storm Black Knight."

Lei Chi said, "Of course! They're both Mobile Storm, right? Xiao Zhao's is the Black Knight version, and mine is the Carnival version. Isn't it cooler?"

"Little Zhao?"

"Xiao Zhao is Zhao Zilong. He has already submitted to me. I shout at him on the public channel every day, but he doesn't dare to respond."

"Yeah?"

"Of course, speaking of which, I actually stole this Motorstorm Carnival from his secret camp. Speaking of which, that Zhao guy is really rough; the defensive towers at his base are all over the place..."

"The second-in-command even managed to storm Zhao Zilong's secret camp!"

"The second-in-command is now invincible!"

"Truly worthy of being called the Light of the Beasts..."

Lin Donglei and his three companions showered Lei Chi with praise, but Hua Tianbao, Ye Beifeng, and Xiao Qinghe clearly did not believe that Lei Chi could successfully infiltrate Zhao Zilong's secret camp.

Soon, Hua Tianbao said, "Second brother, we don't need your Mobile Storm for this invasion. Let's ride the War Dragon Boat! Let's talk about the target first."

"Alright!" Lei Chi dismounted from his mechanical warhorse, went to the war window, entered Qixinge's player ID, and said, "Qixinge, LV18 Elemental Tower player, defeated the 18th wave of the monster invasion, camp defense index 555. I call him Little Martial God. This guy has mastered excellent martial arts, but he is extremely arrogant and has provoked me many times, so this time I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

"Just a level 18 player," Xiao Qinghe said. "I only participated in your event to take a look..."

She pointed to the Thunder Pool and continued, "Regarding your 'Ten Thousand Beasts Gallop' skill, here's a Wild Gem. Consider it a donation from me. Show it to me later."

"Great!" Lei Chi happily accepted the [Wild Gem].

Ye Beifeng said, "Let's not delay, everyone get on the dragon boat! Second brother, did you pay all the gold coins for the invasion challenge? There were only 7 gold coins in total, you can't be short of them, can you?"

"Can this be reimbursed?"

"Reimbursement my foot..."

A moment later, everyone boarded the war dragon boat. Hua Tianbao sat in the first seat, Ye Beifeng behind him, and Lei Chi sat in the third seat. He had successfully launched the invasion war.

Soon, with everyone paddling, the war dragon boat slowly sailed into the teleportation portal.
