My Chaotic City

Chapter 067 War Tree Technology

Another rare item has arrived!

Li Hanqiang was startled. He opened his storage space and quickly found a dark gold scroll.

War Tree Technology Scroll: A special item for the Chaos City Lord only. Using it unlocks the War Tree technology, allowing the Chaos City to cultivate the War Tree.

Note 1: Citizens of Chaos City can plant saplings on the Chaos Stone Slab. After 300 days of growth, the saplings will grow into War Trees. The War Tree is a special level 1 defensive tower with an initial physical attack power of 100 and a slow attack speed.

Note 2: Meeting hidden conditions can shorten the growth cycle of the War Tree. Players are encouraged to explore the details themselves.

Note 3: War Trees cultivated from advanced saplings have a chance to gain additional abilities.

Note 4: You need to have saplings first.

"Do we need to get saplings first?" Li Hanqiang scratched his head. The technology was great, but where could he get the saplings?

He asked Huixin, the provincial governor standing beside him, "Little monk, do you know where I can get saplings?"

The young monk Huixin thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Saplings should be collectable, right... or do we need to unlock related technologies?"

"Gather? Do you mean gather it like you gather herbs?"

Li Hanqiang frowned. He had played virtual reality games for so many years and collected a lot of herbs, but he had never collected saplings. He guessed that only the Endless Master would set up such an item, so it was understandable that he collected saplings.

This kind of gathering is not something that ordinary people can do; it's a life skill for adventurer players.

In the setting of "Endless World", mining, gathering, and skinning are basic life skills. After creating a character, adventurer players can choose to learn one of them. After reaching level 20, they can choose to specialize in one of the life science disciplines such as "Potionistry", "Blacksmithing", "Sewing", "Enchanting", and "Archaeology" to obtain various life skills and crafting recipes.

Therefore, there are many ways for adventurer players to play. Many players are purely life skills players who do not fight and specialize in potion healing, equipment forging, etc. Both large guilds and small studios will cultivate some life skills players.

Li Hanqiang immediately realized that he would probably have to buy the sapling from the adventurer players.

After a moment's thought, he contacted Dark Night Redemption and the others to inquire about their choices of life skills.

Dark Night Redemption and the others are still conquering the Burning Ruins. Although they successfully killed the three-headed tiger of the fire demon, their progress in the dungeon is stuck at the Fire Giant Lizard. Without a suitable terrain to block the way, the two who were fanning the wind and lighting the fire are just a joke and are completely useless.

After receiving Li Hanqiang's message, the three of them started chatting for a long time.

Li Hanqiang is no ordinary person now. He got two first kill announcements for BOSS in a row, stealing the limelight from the big guilds, who were extremely envious.

As for life skills, Dark Night Redemption learned skinning, and he has already chosen "archaeology" as his specialization.

Fan Knight studied mining, and he also plans to specialize in "archaeology" in the future.

The Fire Sword Saint, on the other hand, is skilled in gathering, but he hasn't gathered anything even once since he entered the game.

Li Hanqiang asked them to keep an eye out for saplings for him, promising to buy them. The three readily agreed, but kept asking about the "Dragon Slayer Empire".

The term "Dragon Slayer Empire" is currently trending on social media, with speculation and discussion about it everywhere. Many people firmly believe that the Dragon Slayer Empire is a hidden faction and plan to join it in the future.

Fan Knight and Ignition Sword Saint planned to join the Dragon Slayer Empire, not for any other reason than the empire's imposing name.

Li Hanqiang boasted to them, but he would never admit that the Dragon Slaying Empire was something he made up.

After chatting for a while, Li Hanqiang decided to log off to resupply before starting the 11th wave of monster siege, so he instructed the little monk Huixin to ride the three-headed tiger of the Flame Demon to move around automatically.

From now on, Li Hanqiang will not invite players to monster sieges unless absolutely necessary or the enemy is very reliable. Information about his own Chaos City cannot be leaked casually.

Before Li Hanqiang could log off, Big Business sent a request to teleport into the city.

"Does this guy want to become a drug dealer?"

After thinking about it, Li Hanqiang agreed.

Soon, a flash of light appeared in the spacetime wormhole, and Big Dealer stepped out with a big smile, greeting Li Hanqiang and saying, "Sorry, brother, my gaming helmet malfunctioned earlier and I suddenly disconnected. I couldn't come to defend the city, so I changed to a new gaming helmet and just logged back in. Did you successfully defend the city?"

Li Hanqiang chuckled inwardly. Who would believe such a lame excuse? He didn't expose it and said, "Brother, you can buy the medicine yourself on the Chaos Stone Slab. My previous promise still stands."

"Alright, alright!" Big Dealer nodded with a smile, but then added, "By the way, brother, I'm now a contracted member of the Tianhe Guild. I wonder if you'd be interested in cooperating with them?"

"Signed a contract? So you're a professional gamer then?" Li Hanqiang's heart skipped a beat. "How do we cooperate? Reselling potions?"

"Of course not, there's almost no profit left in reselling potions!" The big dealer waved his hand. "I wonder if you'd be interested in joining the Heavenly River Guild? The Heavenly River Emperor is keen to recruit you, offering an annual salary of... one million! One million! One million! Such a high salary, I'm sure you're tempted! I'm incredibly envious!"

"What?" Li Hanqiang was stunned. A major guild was trying to recruit him?

He immediately realized that getting two world-renowned announcements was no small feat. The Heavenly River Emperor had directly offered a million-dollar annual salary to poach him, and now he was a "world celebrity."

Thinking back to when I was an adventurer, I was practically a nobody. What guild would want to hire me? Let alone pay me a salary.

However, Li Hanqiang is not short of money. He collects rent, lives a carefree life, and is much happier than working for others.

"Sorry, I'm not interested," Li Hanqiang replied directly.

"Huh?" The big businessman looked at Li Hanqiang in disbelief. "A million a year? Don't you want to reconsider? Maybe we can raise the price a bit more!"

"I regard money as dirt, and wealth as fleeting clouds." Li Hanqiang waved his hand, "Go buy the medicine!"

"You're amazing!" Big Buyer sighed, but didn't say anything more. He ran to the Chaos Slab and started buying potions.

Perhaps because he had joined the Tianhe Guild, he had quite a lot of gold coins. After Li Hanqiang calculated the subsidy for him, he actually earned nearly 100 gold coins.

After logging off, Li Hanqiang quickly replenished his supplies. He even took out his phone and specially ordered a batch of nutrient solution.

Unbeknownst to him, he had become a celebrity in "Endless World," even overshadowing the major guilds.

So exciting.

In the past, Li Hanqiang would throw the game when things were going well and throw it when things were going badly, doing whatever he wanted. He would laugh when he was happy and rant when he was unhappy. But now that he had such a good start, he felt a sense of accomplishment he had never experienced before.

"Endless World is no ordinary game; there are so many places for players to explore on their own—anything is possible!"

Driven by interest, Li Hanqiang decided to study "Endless World" carefully.
