My Chaotic City

Chapter 043: The 9th Wave Begins

After Li Hanqiang finished speaking, a thought flashed through his mind, and he launched an attack on the Divine Strategist Bandit with both overt and covert means.

Open attacks and hidden arrows!

-50, -100, -1000!

Three damage numbers appeared on the head of the master thief, who was only level 5 and had only 250 health points. He was instantly killed on the spot.

"The player is assumed to be the BOSS?" Li Hanqiang was slightly disappointed. He was testing the damage effect of the "Open Attack and Hidden Arrow" tower on the player.

Judging from the results, the player actually received the same treatment as the BOSS, being hit by both direct and indirect attacks, yet only managed to trigger 1000 points of damage.

Of course, this damage is already considered exaggerated.

After sending the master thief back to the city for free, Li Hanqiang immediately headed to Bibo Pool. He didn't want to miss out on any more elite mounts and had to keep an eye on the group of lesser demons.

Half an hour later, the master thief returned, only to be instantly driven away by Li Hanqiang. Surprisingly, he wasn't annoyed at all. After buying the medicine, he tried to get closer to Li Hanyang, praising him from time to time.

"Brother Qiang, is this defensive tower really called the Free Recall Tower? It actually killed me instantly!" The Divine Thief didn't care about his level at all. He was strolling leisurely in the War Corridor with his hands behind his back, looking like he was just observing. Suddenly, he pointed at the Rocket Launch Tower and asked, "What's so special about this defensive tower? Can I see its stats?"

"This defensive tower is even more powerful; it's called the 'Three Thousand Kill Tower'!"

As soon as Li Hanqiang finished speaking, sword light flashed, spears appeared, and arrows were hidden. The Divine Thief was attacked by the Sword Tower and the Spear and Arrow Tower, and was once again instantly killed.

"This is my territory, what are you doing wandering around in that puppy hat?"

Li Hanqiang snorted. He had no intention of letting the Divine Thief wander around his Chaos City, so he decided to send him back to the city for free every time he came back.

And so, the master thief was "returned to town for free" three more times, and his level became level 1. He understood Li Hanqiang's idea and became obedient. After buying the medicine, he teleported away without saying a word.

Time flew by, and by evening, the master thief's liver was too weak to continue selling medicine.

By 10 p.m., even Xiao Liu couldn't hold on any longer.

Big Business persisted until midnight, and finally logged off with deep exhaustion.

In the dead of night, Li Hanqiang was full of energy. He checked his earnings and found that he had accumulated 1230 gold coins, enough to upgrade the Heart of Chaos.

In addition, while fishing in the Azure Wave Pool with a group of lesser demons, they also obtained a small Chaos Bottle and a [bright green turtle shell].

"It's time to upgrade the tower again!"

Having just returned to the Gold Coin Challenge leaderboard, Li Hanqiang didn't want to be eliminated in the first round. He felt it was necessary to build a few mutated towers to solidify his ranking. As for upgrading the Heart of Chaos, he planned to wait until he had passed the tenth wave of monster siege.

In his opinion, having the talent [Tower Transformation], it would be a waste not to transform the tower more often in the early stages. If he had the ability to charge into several waves of monster sieges, why rush to upgrade the Heart of Chaos?

Li Hanqiang directly spent 1,000 gold coins to buy the blueprints for ten basic arrow towers. A small Chaos Bottle contains 100 points of Chaos Energy, which is just enough to transform the towers ten times.

This time, instead of summoning the little demon acrobatic troupe to help him, he first went to the Azure Wave Pond and released a large number of small fish. Then, he solemnly bowed to the four directions before starting to transform the tower.

As a result, luck didn't improve much either. Only four out of ten basic arrow towers successfully mutated, which was less than the 50% probability set by the system. Fortunately, the mutated towers were very powerful, and they were all open-ended and concealed arrow towers.

"Not a loss, not a loss!"

Li Hanqiang chuckled. His current defensive tower configuration consisted of 1 Flame Tower, 1 Beast Catcher, 1 Sword Tower, 5 Open and Hidden Arrow Towers, and 1 Rocket Launch Tower.

Based on the experience of previous waves, the siege monsters in the ninth wave are level 20, with health points between 1800 and 2200, and their numbers should not exceed 2. The siege should last at least three hours.

A quick calculation shows that the Gunner and Arrow Tower can attack every three seconds. With good luck, that's equivalent to killing 5 siege monsters every 3 seconds, 100 per minute, and 6000 per hour!

Li Hanqiang felt that with his current defensive firepower, he should be able to challenge the ninth wave of monsters.

"Yesterday we suffered a humiliating defeat defending the city, but this time it won't be like that!" Li Hanqiang was in high spirits and launched the ninth wave of monster siege without hesitation. This time, he didn't summon any lesser demons to occupy the stone slabs. They had no attack power and couldn't be changed, so he might as well let them research technology.

As for the city defense notice, Li Hanqiang didn't play any tricks this time and sent it out with zero content.

However, to Li Hanqiang's surprise, before he could finish preparing for battle, 15 beams of light suddenly descended from the sky, completely filling the entire Chaos Stone Slab.

On the chaotic stone slab at the forefront, the Divine Thief smiled broadly and waved to Li Hanqiang, saying, "Brother Qiang, defending the city again? I'll help you; this time, fight monsters like crazy!"

Li Hanqiang nearly fell headfirst from the sky; that damn master thief had teleported over again with a group of middle-aged women.

The middle-aged women are staying up all night, actually doing their city defense missions!

What kind of operation is this?!

The master thief secretly admired Zhen Deqiang's brilliant strategy. It was all his doing. He had ordered a group of middle-aged women to work the night shift and gave each of them a subsidy of one hundred yuan. He never expected that they would actually be able to catch Li Hanqiang on the task of guarding the city.

Li Hanqiang's face darkened. He said, "I just don't understand. What kind of deep-seated hatred could cause them to go through all this trouble with a bunch of old ladies just to ambush me on my city defense mission?"

The group of middle-aged women actually had quite a few complaints. Selling medicine during the day was one thing, but having to work the night shift was another. Earning a little money was really not easy.

Sister Pomegranate waved to Li Hanqiang and said, "Young man, we meet again. Look, from last time until now, this auntie's level hasn't changed at all."

Red Wine Rose sighed and said, "These past two days have been nothing but selling medicine, I can't take it anymore. Coming over to level up in the middle of the night isn't so bad!"

"Yeah, coming here to level up is much easier than selling medicine," said Tianya Fangcao.

Li Hanqiang was speechless. These middle-aged women were treating this place like a training ground.

The master thief at the front shouted again, "Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, don't overthink it. My heart is with Cao Cao but my heart is with Liu Bei. This time I'll definitely fight monsters with all my might. Let's finish our preparations. I'm itching to fight!"

"You're only level 1! Do you think I need your attack power?"

The more Li Hanqiang looked at the Divine Thief, the angrier he became. Without saying a word, he silently controlled the Flame Tower, and suddenly, flames appeared on the Divine Thief's body. In just two seconds, he was "returned to the city for free" again.

"Oh no, the captain's dead!"

"Hey kid, why did you kill our captain? He was such a nice guy, leading us through our daily quests!"

"Yes, don't kill him anymore, he was a good person..."

When the group of middle-aged women discovered that the master thief had been put back up, they immediately started discussing it.

Li Hanqiang stood in mid-air, sighed, and said, "No poison, no man! Aunties, you guys are really strong. So that you can rest early, let's get some experience back."

After saying that, Li Hanqiang controlled the tower and sent these middle-aged women "back to the city for free".
