Chapter 047 The Final Ultimatum
Chapter 047 The Final Ultimatum
The red-haired demon and the green-haired demon only have 30 health points, which is the same level as the little black pig. If they were to be used for siege, as long as the opponent has a basic arrow tower, sending a thousand demon teams would be useless. If the opponent has a Flame Tower, then as many as they send would die.
Even if Little Drill Wind were to intervene, it would be a waste. How many attacks could 1100 HP withstand? He's just a level 11 ordinary monster, only fast.
Besides, even if you rob us, what can you possibly get?
The city lord is invincible, and all the gold coins in the Chaos Treasury are bound. Should we rob the defense tower shop and the Endless Tower? Will we be able to recoup our losses?
If we consider the costs, a raid across Chaos City would require a Void Platform and 100 points of Chaos Energy. Building the Void Platform would also require resources from the Demon Mountain, not to mention the labor of the lesser demons. So how can we raid to break even?
After thinking it over, Li Hanqiang sighed. He no longer felt the excitement he had when he first heard the words "shattering the void". He felt that raiding across Chaos City was not as cost-effective as running raid dungeons. After all, running a raid dungeon only cost 10 gold coins. Even if Xiao Yao became stronger in the future, there were still normal and hard difficulty levels for raid dungeons, right?
However, since [Shattering the Void] is an intermediate technology, Li Hanqiang decided to wait until later to build a Void Platform to see how it goes.
Although building this Void Platform doesn't consume many resources, it requires 100 lesser demons, and Li Hanqiang doesn't have that many spare lesser demons right now.
A moment later, Li Hanqiang arrived at the "Important Cave." He didn't have much chaotic energy left and was reluctant to recruit any more demons, but he saw Little Drill Wind and his team of demons dozing off.
Looking at the system notifications, it was clear that during the time he was offline, Xiao Zuanfeng had only led a team to rob a place once, which also failed, and then he never robbed another place.
"Are these cowardly demons slacking off? I knew they were unreliable. What do you mean by 'work efficiency is completely unpredictable'? This is clearly something that doesn't need to be predicted at all; it must be incredibly low."
Li Hanqiang kicked the little demons awake one by one. The clever little Drill Wind jumped up and, without saying a word, immediately led the group of little demons to run towards the robbery passage in a flurry.
Li Hanqiang activated his levitation ability, deciding to keep an eye on the group of lesser demons and rob them. With Little Drill Wind around, he was actually quite looking forward to robbing some good stuff from the goblin merchants. According to the Endless Brain's thinking, this was definitely possible.
Three hours later, Li Hanqiang found himself surrounded by a pile of miscellaneous goods. Before he knew it, he had "robbed" all the gold coins he had on him, and all he got in return was this pile of miscellaneous goods.
In addition, they also robbed five small carts and three signboard flags, so every member of the Ten Demons Team now has a war chariot.
Little Drill Wind and a group of little demons surrounded him, each one looking as if they had won a battle. They naturally did plenty of somersaults, human pyramids, and pushed little carts.
But this pile of odds and ends, like the red and green carp, has absolutely no practical value; it's all trash that should be thrown into the shop to exchange for gold coins. However, compared to the red and green carp, they sell for a higher price.
Li Hanqiang squatted on the ground and calculated for a while. With Xiao Zuanfeng leading the robbery, they could rob miscellaneous goods and bound gold coins from very simple dungeons. Robbing dungeons was no longer as unprofitable as before.
But it all comes down to luck; if you encounter a dungeon that's easy or harder, you're just wasting money.
Judging from today's gains, robbery is still a losing proposition.
Although Little Drill Wind is level 11, this cowardly demon even runs away from the easy difficulty of the robbery dungeon. It is estimated that without the Hundred Demons Team, he would never dare to attempt the easy difficulty of the robbery dungeon.
Li Hanqiang sighed silently, thinking to himself that these days, without power, you can't even lose money robbing people.
Now that he had no gold coins left, Li Hanqiang sighed and sent Little Drill Wind and a group of little demons to the Demon Mountain workshop.
If the pile of miscellaneous goods in front of him were all resold to the mysterious shop, he could probably sell them for more than twenty gold coins. However, Li Hanqiang didn't care about them and was too lazy to pack them up. He simply floated and walked towards the Azure Wave Pool.
Life became boring again. Li Hanqiang spent his time either fishing in the Bibo Pond or settling accounts with the big business owners. The master thief sent another teleportation request, and Li Hanqiang didn't refuse him this time, letting him return to the medicine-selling business. Of course, every time he bought medicine, he was "returned to the city for free".
Actually, Li Hanqiang is considered to be doing well.
The reason why not many players choose the Chaos City Lord class is because it's too boring in the early game, requiring too much time to AFK. The gameplay only becomes richer as the character develops in the later stages.
Li Hanqiang still has the Azure Wave Pool and the Demon Mountain Cave, where he can fish and run raid dungeons. Ordinary Chaos City Lords, unable to withstand monster sieges, can only AFK to accumulate gold coins to buy towers, or seek out skilled adventurers to help defend the city. Unlike adventurer players, who are free to explore, run dungeons, and fight bosses all over the world.
Therefore, being the Lord of Chaos City is a lonely profession, as lonely as being a master.
Time passed slowly, and as midnight approached, Li Hanqiang was tallying up his day's catch in the Azure Wave Pool: the gold coins had returned to 1350, and he had caught another Little Chaos Bottle.
Suddenly, a system notification popped up from an anonymous player requesting to be teleported into the city.
Back in the war corridor, seeing that the teleporter was once again the master thief, Li Hanqiang was puzzled and asked, "Dog-headed Hat, what are you doing here again!"
The master thief smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, I'm here to give you an ultimatum!"
"What ultimatum? The Emperor Guild is coming to attack my city?" Li Hanqiang felt somewhat confused.
The master thief sighed and said, "I'm just passing on a message. Zhen Deqiang said that if you're unhappy, he's happy. He'll make you extremely unhappy unless you agree to obediently become his underling. Otherwise, he'll make sure your city falls and you die."
"Did Zhen Dechun really say that? Has he lost his mind?" Li Hanqiang asked.
The master thief shook his head and said, "That's really what he said."
"Haha, do you think I, Li Hanqiang, am easily intimidated?" Li Hanqiang said with a nonchalant expression, "Go back and tell him to bring on whatever tricks he has up his sleeve, I'll take them all!"
"OK."
After the master thief left, Li Hanqiang felt somewhat bewildered. He quickly forgot what the master thief had said and began to consider whether to upgrade the Heart of Chaos first, or transform a few more towers to finish the tenth wave of the BOSS level.
At this very moment, in Chaos City No. 69, a flash of light appeared in the spacetime wormhole, and Zhen Deqiang rode out slowly on a large horse.
In his hand, he held a dark gold token, which was the siege order.
"I can have whatever I want." Zhen Deqiang smiled, he hadn't expected to get a siege order so quickly.
