Piercing Through The Soul Lord Of The Pit

Chapter 6: Group Star Tower

Wu Feng issued detailed orders as much as possible. Virgo, being highly intelligent, nodded and flapped her demonic wings, flying out.

Wu Feng had commanded heroes of Perfect quality or above in simulation games before, and they were capable of handling such matters independently. However, Wu Feng still paid attention to Virgo's situation first.

The Lord could view the real-time status of heroes or units. It was a kind of "God's perspective" hanging above the target's head, but its range was limited, and the view was not as good as that of the heroes and units themselves.

However, this ability was enough for the Lord to grasp the basic situation of his subordinates. Under Wu Feng's attention, Virgo flew out of the territory, and the surrounding ground was in a gray and scorched state.

Those were areas eroded by the Abyssal aura, unable to produce or construct buildings. Only the Abyssal Lord could purify these scorched lands and restore them to normal.

Virgo hadn't flown far before encountering wandering green-skinned goblins.

These low-level monsters liked to search for prey everywhere, and when they saw females, they would go crazy and pounce. If they were unable to defeat their opponents, it would likely turn into a hentai plot.

But Virgo was much stronger than the green-skinned goblins. She whipped her long whip fiercely, releasing a pink light from her eyes. These six green-skinned goblins were mesmerized and became Virgo's slaves.

Virgo pointed in the direction of the territory, and this group of goblins with wooden sticks and stone hammers came to defend the territory.

"These are quite good cannon fodder. Now, even if other monsters come, they can withstand them for a while..." Wu Feng saw the goblins guarding the fence, and Virgo could easily kill the green-skinned goblins. He felt that he didn't need to pay too much attention to Virgo.

First, he should develop the territory. These ten green treasure chest keys should also trigger a critical first draw.

"As for the remaining ten blue summoning scrolls, they can be saved for when there are good items during a hundred consecutive draws. Using low-level summoning scrolls as a stepping stone is the most profitable way!"

Wu Feng drew Virgo as a critical first draw, which was equivalent to a hundred consecutive draws, both raising the quality by two levels, turning blue heroes into orange heroes.

Summoning scrolls were a large category that could accumulate draw attempts. Using white and green scrolls as stepping stones could increase the number of draw attempts.

When approaching 100 draws, using blue scrolls could further increase the returns, raising the quality by two levels. That would be equivalent to a ten consecutive draw of orange scrolls, which was a great opportunity.

After all, it was difficult to obtain orange summoning scrolls in the early stages, and this was the only way for Wu Feng to obtain orange heroes in the early stages.

As for the green treasure chest key, it can be used immediately. By relying on the first draw critical hit, you can get some good things and start building your territory. Otherwise, it would just be empty with a row of fences. At least the 7 farmers he summoned can find something to do.

After setting the strategy, Wu Feng casually used the treasure chest key. 10 treasure chests were summoned at once, and the chests were opened one by one. This scene was truly a decompression for a Transcendent Level player.

The items in the treasure chests appeared one by one, still following the 136 rule. The treasure chest key had a 10% chance of producing an item one level higher in quality, a 30% chance of producing an item of the same level, and a 60% chance of producing an item one level lower in quality.

The green treasure chest key also had a chance of producing blue items!

And Wu Feng maintained his lucky streak, as there was indeed a blue item inside! In the end, the results were one blue, two green, and seven white items! It was almost a 136 formation.

[Ding... The first ten consecutive draws (treasure chest key) were successful, triggering the Piercing through the Soul talent. The Star Tower summon card (blue quality) you obtained has its quality increased by one level. The first draw provides an additional critical hit, and the item's level is also increased by one level.]

After evolving in quality, the blue item became an orange item, a special card that fell into Wu Feng's hands.

Group Star Tower summon card: Perfect quality. Can summon a Group Star Tower at a designated location. This defense tower is a medium-sized tower (occupying an area of 40 meters by 40 meters). [Click to view detailed attributes of the Group Star Tower.]

"It's actually a defense tower summon card! This is great!" Wu Feng was delighted. This was much more precious than a defense tower blueprint.

When guarding the territory, the main reliance was on defense towers and followers. The combination of the Virgo hero and the troops was very flexible, but defense towers also had their advantages.

After the defense tower was built, although it couldn't move, it could form a permanent defense line. Even the most careless lord would know to place a few defense towers next to their Lord's Heart to feel more secure.

Looking at the tower defense summon card that Su Mu gave to Wu Feng, the difference between Fine and Perfect was truly significant.

Ballista Tower summon card: Fine quality. Can summon a Ballista Tower at a designated location. This defense tower is a miniature tower (occupying an area of 10 meters by 10 meters). [Click to view detailed attributes of the Ballista Tower.]

Su Mu gave the tower defense summon card to Wu Feng as a safety net. The Ballista Tower was enough to meet the transitional needs of the early stage. However, Su Mu would never have expected that Wu Feng would start with an orange tower defense.

With a High Level defense tower, Wu Feng's margin for error increased significantly, and he no longer had to worry about his Lord's Heart being stolen.

Group Star Tower + Ballista Tower, there shouldn't be any problems for the first seven days of the novice period.

However, he didn't rush to summon his own tower defense, but first looked at the other rewards in the treasure chest. Apart from the Star Tower, there were 9 remaining items: 3 units of rice (white), 2 units of mini land plots (white), 1 resource crystal (white), 1 farm blueprint (green), and 1 challenge token (green).

Among these items, rice is food. Both Wu Feng and his heroes and troops need to consume food. People are made of iron, and food is a necessity. It must be stocked up.

1 unit of food is equivalent to 100 kilograms. These 3 units of rice are enough to ensure that the territory will not lack food in the early stages. On the clean land where the Lord's Heart is located, there are also some wild vegetables that can be picked by farmers and used to make simple meals together with the rice.

Cooking and gathering are simple life skills that farmers will still master.

The resource crystal is an item that immediately obtains magic crystals and resources upon activation. It is also a major category in the Piercing through the Soul talent.

The mini land plots are used to purify scorched earth and expand the territory. In the Lord's Heart, they are valuable assets. Apart from the purification permission obtained through the Lord's level upgrade, generally only this type of land plot item can expand the territory.

Mini land plot: Common quality, can purify 1 unit (100 meters * 100 meters) of abyss scorched earth into a level 1 land plot.

"This kind of lowest-level land plot item is not bad. With it, I can expand the territory early and also build farms and Star Towers."

Wu Feng followed the wooden fence of the territory to the edge of the scorched earth and used the land plot item or his own permission to purify the scorched earth. It must be adjacent to his own territory.

Wu Feng decided to extend the territory towards the direction of the goblin tribe, which is to the east of the Lord's Heart. This direction has just been cleared by Virgo and there are no monsters present, so it can be purified.

After the land plot item was activated, it turned into holy light that fell on the abyss scorched earth. The originally cracked land suddenly returned to its original flat state, and the lingering abyssal aura on it was also purified.

Therefore, Wu Feng used 2 mini land plots in a row to expand his territory to 3 units, which is equivalent to 3 hectares in size.

From a high altitude, the territory is a grid of squares connected together, forming a long and narrow strip.

"If there is such a large territory in the safe zone, then I would truly be a big landlord..."

As a newly appointed official lord, Wu Feng felt that being a lord was really enjoyable! This large territory is all his.

Lord Code: Wandering through the Nine Heavens

Owned Territory: 3 units.

Total Territory Level: Level 3.

Lord's Heart Output: 3 Magic Crystals/hour.

Lord's Heart HP: 3000/3000.

Looking at the territory attributes again, the land, total territory level, and output have all changed. Even the HP of the Lord's Heart has increased significantly.

Its HP also changes with the total territory level, and the output of the Lord's Heart follows the same principle.

After expanding the area, Wu Feng took out the green resource crystal to extract the resources first.

Just like the other two types of extraction, after using the resource crystal, various lights lit up. The probability is still 136.

Each green resource crystal has a 60% chance of obtaining 40-100 Magic Crystals, a 30% chance of obtaining 4-10 units of Common quality resources, and a 10% chance of obtaining 1-3 units of green quality resources.

In the end, Wu Feng still obtained the guaranteed benefits.

Extraction results: [1] 56 Magic Crystals [2] 64 Magic Crystals [3] 45 Magic Crystals [4] 6 units of wood [5] 78 Magic Crystals [6] 5 units of stone [7] 67 Magic Crystals [8] 90 Magic Crystals [9] 66 Magic Crystals [10] 3 units of ironwood.

[Ding... First successful ten consecutive draws (resource crystal), triggering the Piercing through the Soul talent. You obtain 5 units of ironwood (green) quality, which increases by 1 level. The first draw provides additional critical hits, and the yield level of this resource crystal is increased by 1 level. You obtain 5 units of rosewood (Exceptional quality).]

Wu Feng discovered that after the resource quality was increased, he actually obtained higher quality resources. In the end, he obtained 5 units of rosewood (purple quality), which, although not a special resource, is still very rare.

The only downside is that he won't need this for the time being.

However, the obtained wood can be used. He took out the farm blueprint and had 7 farmers build the farm first. The farm is a Fine quality building that can store food, produce farming tools, and cultivate farmland. With the farm, the farmers will have a place to live and can steadily produce food.

Building a farm requires 300 magic crystals, 2 units of wood, and 2 units of stone. After the ten consecutive draws of the resource crystal, Wu Feng obtained 466 Magic Crystals, 6 units of wood, and 5 units of stone, so he can build the farm first.

"Building the farm will take 2 hours. The first building in the territory will be the Star Tower..."
