Chapter 177 Lai Fu is drunk, Sword Qi Tower
Wow!
The top of the Tree of Life Tower swayed slightly, and a feeling of excitement mixed with joy surged into Mo Yu's perception.

After being promoted to the second level, one can clearly sense that the consciousness of the Tree of Life Tower has become much clearer.

The ability to express has also been greatly improved.

Although I can't organize a complete language, one or two words are enough to express it clearly.

"father……"

Mo Yu sensed a childish voice, like the babbling of a child.

This is the first word accurately expressed by the Tree of Life Tower.

"Oh!" Mo Yu responded with emotion.

A strange scene suddenly popped up in my mind. The nature elves called the Tree of Life Tower "Mom", so I was directly upgraded to the grandfather level?

And they are also, as Salt said, a powerful race in the Second Era of War.

Hey, that’s quite exciting to think about.

Just as I was thinking about it, the light of life from the Great Tree of Life Tower fell.

Hiss…ha…so cool!

Amidst the shock, Mo Yu could clearly feel that the purity and effectiveness of the light of life had increased significantly.

What also changed was the feeling of it falling on my body, which became even more comfortable.

This thing is really addictive.

Seeing that Mo Yu seemed to enjoy this feeling, he fired one Tree of Life Tower after another.

“Stop… stop!!”

Mo Yu couldn't stop, so he suppressed his inner throbbing and stopped the baptism of the Tree of Life Tower.

It's fun, but it's too addictive.

The dancing branches of the Tree of Life Tower froze slightly, and Mo Yu clearly felt its confusion.

"Son, now you have to focus on growing up quickly, and don't waste the light of your life on me."

The Tree of Life Tower shook its body to show that it understood.

Mo Yu gave some more instructions, asking him to keep an eye on the six young nature elves under the tree, and then he returned to the lord's courtyard.

He opened his backpack, took out everything, and counted today's gains one by one.

Resources such as minerals, gold coins, and supplies such as tents are thrown directly into the warehouse.

In just a few seconds, the items were almost cleaned up.

There are still three primary fire gems, the heart of the troop nest (big-eared monster), the forging blueprint of the horn helmet, a bottle of fire tequila, an ore furnace, a horse farm blueprint, etc.

Including the swordthorn wood seeds, swordthorn wood leaves, troop summoning items, and ogre bone clubs, there are still quite a few things.

[Heart of the Soldier's Nest (Big-Eared Monster)]: After use, you can directly summon the Big-Eared Monster's troop nest without wasting any resources. You can also use it as a reinforcement material for existing troop nests to increase the number of troop recruitments.

[Oxhorn Helmet Forging Drawing]: Records the forging method of the rare-level equipment Oxhorn Helmet. After using it, the target can directly master the forging skills of the Oxhorn Helmet.

[Ore Furnace]: A rare territory decoration building that can increase the territory's mineral resource point output by 20%. It takes effect as soon as it is placed.

[Horse Farm Construction Blueprint]: You can build a functional horse farm to provide a place for warhorse activities and training. It requires 1000 gold coins, 1000 mana, 2000 wood, 50 squares of building space, and a construction time of 12 hours.

[Flame Tequila]: A rare alcoholic item. After drinking the whole bottle, there is a certain chance that the affinity for fire element will be increased. It is only effective for creatures with affinity for fire element.

……

After checking the item information, Mo Yu had a general idea of ​​the functions of these items.

He took out the forging drawings of the horned helmet and asked the goblin messenger to deliver it to the forging department.

Horned helmet, high stone giant axe, Novagr spiked shield... plus an armor forging blueprint, the warriors of the territory will have a more complete set of equipment.

Primary flame gems are a prerequisite for the Fury Totem Tower to be promoted to the fifth level. Store them in the warehouse first...

Ore furnace...placed next to the unicorn statue.

Originally, Mo Yu thought that the ore furnace was a tool for forging ore, but he didn't expect it to be a territory decorative building similar to the unicorn statue.

The existing iron ore and stone mines can all be used, which is pretty good.

A horse farm was built next to the pasture.

There are many war horses in the territory now, and the pasture fences are not suitable for housing these horses.

After all, the city was surrounded, but the space was too small. Over time, even the war horses would have to be fattened up.

The horse farm solves this problem very well. It has its own space and training grounds for war horses to move around, making it very suitable for training war horses.

……

Mo Yu sorted the items one by one, dividing them into several categories, those to be converted into defense towers, those to be placed in storage boxes, and those that could be used.

"Laifu, come here, I'll show you something good."

Mo Yu came to the yard and blew a whistle, and the silly dog ​​Lai Fu came running over happily.

He took out the flaming tequila and poured it into Lai Fu's big basin.

This bottle of wine with special properties is suitable for Lai Fu, the Flame Wolf cub and the Fire Giant Architect who has just joined the territory.

Whether in terms of potential or loyalty, Erha is naturally the most suitable.

Lai Fu didn't doubt it, he lowered his head and took a sip, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Grrrrrr!"

It plunged down and drank happily.

I really didn't realize that he had some talent as a drunkard.

However, in the normal world, I’m afraid no one would dare to give alcohol to the already crazy Erha.

He's already mentally abnormal, and after drinking a little bit of alcohol, his true nature will be completely released.

Taking this into consideration, Mo Yu ordered the goblin messenger to bring a rope and tie up Lai Fu, who was already a little dazed.

By the way, I drank all the remaining tequila.

After all, this stuff only works if you drink the whole bottle.

However, what Mo Yu didn’t expect was that Lai Fuzui was drunk.

But when it was drunk, it did not act crazy. Instead, it sat cross-legged and thought about the philosophy of dog life.

[Woof? Which is heavier, a pound of cotton or a pound of iron? ]

[Woof? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? ]

[Woof? I am basking in the sun. Is it the sun basking me, or am I basking in the sun?]

……

One outrageous question after another popped up in Lai Fu's mind.

Mo Yu scratched his head and decisively cut off the mental connection with Lai Fu. He always felt that his IQ was being lowered little by little.

Without paying any attention to Lai Fu, he stood up and walked around, then integrated the Heart of the Army's Nest into the Tauren Camp, increasing its weekly recruitment from 24 to 28.

As for the Shadow Scout, it is easier to advance because it has the function of consuming dark magic crystals to directly increase the number of summons.

So Mo Yu chose to continue strengthening the Minotaur.

This type of troops had performed quite well in the recent battles and were getting along very well with the territory.

After one round, all the items were packed up.

Next, we will continue to transform and strengthen the defense towers.

First, here are today's fireball scrolls, 21 in total.

[Hint: Your luck is overflowing. The item Fireball Scroll is transformed into a Blazing Tower, which costs 70 points of magic power.]

[Tip: Consume nine defense towers including the Fireball Tower to strengthen the Fireball Tower into the Blazing Tower! ]

……

After a series of transformations and enhancements, the number of Explosion Towers at Mo Yu's disposal reached 29. Among them, there were 7 second-level Explosion Towers, 22 first-level Explosion Towers, and 5 Fireball Towers.

At this rate, it would take about half a month to complete the Hundred Towers Formation.

For the next wave of transformation, he aimed at the sword leaves and seeds of the swordthorn tree.

The defense tower transformed from plant seeds is very ineffective, as was the case with the Sunflower Demon before.

But Mo Yu still wanted to give it a try, the cost was not high.

[Hint: You consume 20 points of magic power to transform the item Swordthorn Wood Sword Leaf into a Sword Leaf Tower.]

[Hint: You consume 50 points of magic power to transform the item Swordthorn Seed into Swordthorn Tower.]

……

[Hint: Your luck is overflowing. The item Swordthorn Wood Seed is transformed into a Sword Qi Tower, which costs 1500 points of magic power.]

Ten swordthorn leaves and two swordthorn seeds can only transform into one useful defense tower.

The rare third-level Sword Qi Tower can release sword energy to attack the enemy.

[Sword Qi Tower] (↑↑↑)
[Level]: Level 0 Rare (18000/)
[Function]: Can shoot sword energy to cause penetrating damage to the target.

[Attributes]: 1 round/1 seconds, ammunition (100/100, 8 rounds restored per minute), range 800 meters, occupies 1 grid, bound to Lord No. 985211.

[Characteristic Sword Qi]: When the Sword Qi Tower attacks, there is a very small chance to trigger the Sword Qi state, and the sword energy can explode into more sword energy.

[Special Sword Formation]: Requires five or more sword-type defense towers to be activated.

[Introduction]: Sword energy spreads across...800 meters.

The defense tower is not particularly outstanding, but what is more worth looking forward to is the sword formation state that has not yet been activated.

It seems that I still have to ask Mu Qiao and the other two to tame and grow the swordthorn tree well.

Then cooperate with the Tree of Life Tower to breed more seeds.

There are three sword leaves of the swordthorn wood left, and Mo Yu plans to leave them to the forging department as forging materials.

The material of these sword leaves is very special. Although they are plants, they give people the feeling of gold and iron. They still have certain research value.

After two waves of items were converted, Mo Yu converted all the remaining military scrolls of little value and threw them there.

There is nothing special about the defense tower. It is just left there to be used as reinforcement material in the future.

[Reminder, your defense tower, the rigid tower, has been upgraded to level 5.]

[Reminder: Your defense tower and repair tower have been upgraded to level 5.]

……

After consuming all five attributeless magic crystals, Mo Yu upgraded the five defense towers, including the Repair Tower, the Rigidity Tower, the Rapid Rifle Tower, the Concealment Tower, and the Dark Crossbow Tower, to the fifth level one by one.

After the repair tower is upgraded to level five, the number of quick repairs increases from 1 to 3, and the defense value of instant repair reaches 50%.

The safety of defense towers will be more guaranteed in the future.

The basic attributes of the three towers, the Rigidity Tower, the Stealth Tower, and the Dark Crossbow Tower, increase to varying degrees after being upgraded, and there are no special changes.

The Rapid Rifle Tower has a new feature: fire suppression.

Passive characteristics, the effect is simple and crude, the ammunition amount is doubled and the firing rate is doubled.

Now that the rapid musket turret has reached its peak firing rate, it can reach a firing rate of thirty rounds per second.

If the firing rate can be doubled to 60 rounds per second, with a little more effort, it can catch up with the Gatling gun.

The only drawback is the amount of ammunition, which is currently 5000 rounds. Even after the fire suppression feature is improved, it will only reach 15000 rounds.

At full firepower, all the ammunition can be used up in about 4 minutes.

"Keep working hard and strive to be promoted to the ninth-level tower and graduate as soon as possible." Mo Yu was full of energy.

There was nothing to do in the territory at night, and Da Zhuang arranged it in an orderly manner.

The three adventurers have already started working.

Judging from the feedback from Da Zhuang, Zhong Han’s combat ability is quite good. In a situation where he was at level one against level two, he actually killed a bandit.

He has a calm personality and rich combat experience, so he can be trained as a combat adventurer.

The territory now needs such talents who can stand on their own.

Cui Zhengli, although timid, is quite experienced in management and gave Dazhuang many constructive suggestions.

Bertha's words brought some unexpected surprises.

She has good architectural planning skills and has many unique insights into territory layout.

All three of them have good value.

Taking this into consideration, Mo Yu took advantage of the evening to go to the residences of the three people and talk to them face to face one by one.

When he returned to the lord's courtyard, there was one more person in his entourage.

Zhong Han!

Mo Yu didn't expect that the other party would be so decisive.

As soon as we met, he took the initiative to ask to become a follower.

He also admitted that the fighting during the day was deliberately to demonstrate his value and ability.

There was nothing for Mo Yu to refuse for such a talent.

In comparison, Choi Jung-ri, who he had originally guessed would take the initiative to offer to become a follower, did not mention this matter at all.

Although, if he proposed it, Mo Yu would definitely not accept it.

But if he doesn't even mention it, that's his problem.

When returning to the yard, Lai Fu still maintained the posture of a sage.

There seem to be endless stupid questions in its mind.

Mo Yu did not interrupt its meditation. He rubbed the bellies of the two little wolf cubs and then left them inside the house.

After a quick wash, he lay back on the bed.

"Tomorrow's goal is to first clear out the strongholds near the territory and see how strong the fourth-level strongholds are."

"Um... By the way, there are still two stronghold treasure chests that have not been opened."

Mo Yu slammed the bed board and jumped up from the bed.

He loves opening treasure chests so much, but he actually forgot to open them.

It’s all because the light of life in the Tree of Life Tower is too strong.

Otherwise, how could such an important thing be forgotten?

He quickly found two light blue stronghold treasure chests in the warehouse and opened them all at once.

[Hint: You open a one-star stronghold treasure chest and receive rewards: 3 battle points, first-level building copy blueprint, and 1000 gold coins.]

[Hint: You open a one-star stronghold treasure chest and get the following rewards: one-star advanced book (for adventurers only), one-star troop nest heart (Kobold), and 1000 stone materials.]

Another 3 battle points were earned. Including the battle points gained from destroying two one-star strongholds today, Mo Yu's battle points have reached 71.

It is expected that after clearing a wave of strongholds this week, it should be no problem to collect 100 points to exchange for the intermediate lord rank badge.

He also added the Heart of the Kobolds' Lair into the Tauren camp, expanding the recruitment scale again to 31 people.

I don't know what the ultimate expansion limit is, but I think reaching a recruitment number of over 100 should not be a problem.

There are two items left, the first-level building copy blueprints, which can be used to selectively copy the first-level buildings in the territory.

But it is limited to ordinary buildings and functional buildings. Unique buildings and hidden buildings cannot be copied, such as refugee camps and rune magic towers.

Mo Yu chose to copy a wave of Golden Bone Towers, which is the most cost-effective option at this stage.

Defense towers are also buildings, there's nothing wrong with that.
