Chapter 17

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the small house, Lindsay looked at the pile of treasure chests in front of him, full of anticipation.

“It’s time to open the treasure chests again. I wonder what good things can be obtained.”

Immediately, Lindsay decided to open them all.

..

[Obtained, Devil Essence Crystal x2!]

[Obtained, Devil Essence Crystal x1!]

[Obtained, Mana Crystal x3! 500 ham sausages.]

[Obtained, Mana Crystal x2! One special spear.]

[Obtained, Mana Stones x2!]

..

After opening 45 treasure chests, he had obtained 186 mana crystals and 10 mana stones.

Currently, he now had a total of 586 mana crystals and 40 Mana Stones.

There was also ham, sausage, bread, drinking water, and the likes.

Beyond that, he managed to collect a special spear and a territory building [Wooden Wall].

Now, they could finally tear down the Wooden Fence.

These monsters were all elite-tier, so the items he managed to obtain were of higher quality as well.

This Wooden Wall could probably be upgraded by the mysterious necklace as well. 

Natasha saw the delighted look in Lindsay’s eyes and said, “My Lord, why do you look so happy?”

Lindsay smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just found a few good buildings that will help us solve our current issues.”

After that, Lindsay began to talk about what rewards they had managed to obtain.

First, he took out the High Precision Mortar

[High Precision Mortar

Type: Equipment

Level: 5

Quality: White

Attributes: AOE attack

Attack Range: 0-500 meters.

Description: It won’t be a problem dealing with ordinary monsters.]

Ordinary monsters were not elite monsters.

As there were no special modifications to this simple piece of technology, it could only deal effective attacks on ordinary monsters. This would not help against the current elite-level monsters he was facing.

This was because in battle, magic power was still needed, which meant that such ordinary technology would not be useful in the meantime. 

Thus, Lindsay immediately kept it.

After that, he took out the rest of the building he had obtained.

Two Arrow Towers, one Forging Shop, and one Wooden Wall.

After Lindsay saw which building it was, he thought for a while and then came up with an idea.

Building items cost mana crystals, but fortunately, he had more than enough of them.

Lindsay then spent 100 mana crystals to build all the walls.

There was also a wooden door engraved with magic patterns.

After he was done, Lindsay’s wooden fence was completely replaced by a wooden wall.

Looking at his territory’s current state, Lindsay was extremely satisfied.

After that, the information about the wall appeared in his mind.

[Wooden Wall+

Level: 1 (0/10)

Function: Defense

Durability: 300/300

Current unit: 10

Description: Can defend against basic attacks.]

This was much better than the fence. Just the durability alone increased by 100.

However, Lindsay paid attention to the plus sign.

“Life is awesome when there are cheats!”

Thus, without hesitation, he clicked on it.

In an instant, the fence flashed with a strong light.

After a few seconds, the fence’s appearance had changed greatly.

There were many sharp thorns on the strong wood, emitting a dark luster.

[Poison Stinger Wooden Wall

Level: 1 (0/50)

Function: Defense

Durability: 500/500

Current unit: 10 (can be expanded)

Special Ability: Poison Stinger

Description: If you attack the wooden wall, you will be splashed by the liquid spewed by the poison stinger.]

…

The durability had increased a lot, so it would be harder to level up.

However, this Stinger Wall could actually launch its own attacks.

It was stronger than he expected.

If this was the case, now his defense would actually be able to take the initiative to attack.

This kind of special wall was estimated to be worth over 100,000 mana crystals on the Magic Region Trade Center.

Following that, Lindsay set up the two arrow towers.

These two arrow towers were just like the previous two that had not evolved.

[Arrow Tower+

Level: 1 (0/100).

Function: Release Arrows (one shot per second)

Inventory: 100/100

Attack Range: 200 meters

Description: A simple defensive structure. The arrows are very powerful.]

Just as Lindsay assumed, these two arrow towers had a plus sign.

Lindsay did not hesitate to tap on them.

After that, there was another flash of light, and two different defense towers appeared in front of Lindsay.

One of the towers had a diamond-shaped crystal on it and on the crystal, there seemed to be many water droplets.

[Poison Rain Tower

Type: Defense Tower

Level: 1(0/200)

Function: Poison Rain (100 drops per second)

Attack Range: 300 meters

Storage: 10/10

Description: A type of defense tower with extremely high corrosive properties.]

…

[Armor Piercing Tower

Type: Defense Tower

Level: 1 (0/200)

Function: Armor Piercing

Attack Range: 500 meters

Storage: 100/100

Description: A single arrow can pierce through iron armor.]

…

One elemental tower and one special defense tower.

Looking at the introduction of the two defense towers, Lindsay nodded slightly.

Then, he placed the two arrow towers in the other two corners.

Looking at his territory’s building, there were already four defense towers.

The Icicle Tower, the Lightning Tower, the Poison Rain Tower, and the Armor-Piercing Tower.

These towers had both defensive lightning and poison rain, as well as attack-type icicles and armor-piercing arrows.

It was practically a perfect combination.

Now that there was a slightly stronger wooden wall protecting the defense towers, it would not be easily attacked.

There was only the Forging Shop left.

‘Let’s see how this Forging Shop can be upgraded.’

After throwing in the mana crystals, the building became bigger and bigger until a full-sized Forging Shop was right in front of him.

The building looked very unremarkable. It was just a small house made of stone and sand with a small furnace inside.

[Forging Shop+

Type: Forging Facility

Level: 1 (0/10)

Function: Smithing

Inventory: 10/10

Description: Dorging simple weapons with no magic attribute buffs.]

Without any hesitation, Lindsay clicked on the shining plus sign.

After that, the dilapidated hut became more exquisite, with a more modern furnace inside.

This furnace could automatically refine weapons.

[Weapon Refining Pavillion

Type: Forging Facilities

Level: 1 (0/200)

Function: Weapon refining (one item per inventory)

Inventory: 10/10

Description: Forge magical weapons with magical attributes that can be released during battle.]

‘That’s more like it. Magical weapons are the ones that are truly lethal.’
