Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 42 If you're a brother, come and chop me up!

Hua Tianbao was already strolling leisurely, not walking very fast at all. Now, he was slowed down by three factors: the roar of the [Big Tiger] slowed him down by 30%, the poison of the [Big Green Snake] slowed him down by 10%, and the lightning strike of the [Thunder Lizard] slowed him down by nearly 80%. The combined slowdown exceeded 87%, and his speed was almost like that of a tortoise crawling.

The key is that this guy is very resilient and even willing to take medicine. He just stubbornly walked forward under the concentrated fire of the defensive towers, unhurriedly, and actually managed to walk out of the firing range of all the defensive towers.

"Brother Bao is amazing!"

"Brother Bao is awesome!"

"Brother Bao is awesome!"

"Brother Bao is invincible..."

Lin Donglei and his three companions immediately launched into a tirade of flattery, though in their hearts they were all cursing them as idiots.

What a waste of precious red medicine!

If you don't want it, you can keep it for yourself.

Just throw it away like that; it may be carefree, but it's incredibly wasteful.

"Thunder Pool is pretty good. You've built eight Tier 2 Beast Towers already, which is better than the four of you. The slowing effect of those Lightning Lizards is really good..."

Hua Tianbao then offered his comments, saying that Lei Chi might be able to withstand the tenth wave of monster invasions with these defensive towers, and he was unsure what to support Lei Chi for the time being.

Lei Chi also arrived at the War Corridor at this moment. He saw Hua Tianbao, Lin Donglei and others, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"Everyone, you're here!"

He managed to squeeze out a sentence as a greeting.

"Here it comes!"

"Lei Chi, your Beast Tower is pretty good, it has potential!"

"Indeed, I've never seen a Thunder Lizard before."

"Aren't you happy that Brother Bao is carrying you?"

Lin Donglei and the others seemed to treat Lei Chi as an outsider, greeting him warmly like friends.

"Are you happy?" Lei Chi smiled, thinking to himself that whether he was happy or not depended on their performance.

Hua Tianbao truly acted like an older brother, wanting to take care of his younger brother. He approached Lei Chi and said, "Tell me, how can I help you?"

Lei Chi said, "Don't waste time. Just kill me quickly, take everything you can from my camp, and kill everyone you can. I'll be very grateful."

Upon hearing this, Lin Donglei laughed and said, "My dear friend Lei Chi, are you just saying this out of anger? Brother Bao came here genuinely to support you, so why do you look unhappy?"

Yang Taiyang said, "Cheer up! We're brothers now!"

Lei Chi said, "If you're a brother, come and kill me!"

Lu Xiaoman: "This... brother, are you saying you don't welcome us, don't welcome Brother Bao?"

Li Tianming said, "Brother Lei Chi is angry. How about... we leave?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Chi hurriedly said, "No, no, no, please don't leave! If you leave, I'll be at a huge loss! I'm not angry at all, and I welcome you. Really, I just want you to beat me to death, and I just want you to come and plunder me. I'd be happy to give you the good stuff, since I don't want the good stuff to go to outsiders."

Lin Donglei said, "Brother Lei Chi is very humorous!"

Lei Chi said, "I'm very serious, I'm not joking. Fine, I'll lay it all out on you guys. I've received a hidden quest. The quest is only complete if other players invade my camp and loot all my supplies! So, Brother Bao, brothers, just consider this helping me complete the quest. Don't hold back. Take whatever you want, don't be polite. If you don't like me, you can even kill me!"

"Really?"

"Is there such a mission?"

"How come I've never heard of it?"

"We came here to support you; it would be so awkward if we took your things."

"Don't feel guilty. Coming here to rob and plunder is the greatest help you can give me..."

Lin Donglei and his companions were easily fooled and quickly believed Lei Chi's words. Hua Tianbao exclaimed that it was bizarre, but said, "When I, Hua Tianbao, do things, I always keep my word. Helping you with the mission is one thing, but coming to support you is also a must. Here's what we'll do: I'll take out my treasure chest, and you can choose two items from it."

As they were talking, the level 30 Beast Tower player opened his inventory, pointed to the ground, and a large treasure chest more than a meter tall appeared.

The treasure chest was inlaid with gold and jade, and looked very high-end. It could probably fit an adult inside without any problem. It was clearly a [Treasure Chest].

[Treasure Chest: A special storage item that can hold one hundred items. The Treasure Chest can be stored in the inventory and occupies one storage slot.]

"Hey, this stuff isn't bad!"

Lei Chi said something.

Players' inventory only has 5 slots, which can be inconvenient to carry around items. Having a treasure chest would effectively increase storage space.

However, most people probably wouldn't carry this treasure chest with them, because if they were to die and it fell out, someone else might pick it up, which would be a huge loss.

But Bao Ge didn't care.

He opened the treasure chest and let Lei Chi choose items from it himself.

"Good heavens..."

Lei Chi glanced into the treasure chest and saw a pile of gems. He immediately felt an aura of immense wealth emanating from it.

Lin Donglei and his three companions were also drawn to the treasure chest and came over to take a look, only to be completely stunned.

That treasure chest contained [Flame Gem], [Ice Gem], [Lightning Gem], [Wild Gem], [Lightning Gem], and so on, probably as many as seventy or eighty pieces.

In addition, there are also [Slave Tokens], [Treaty Tokens], crafting blueprints, and advanced materials.

"Wow, Brother Bao is awesome! That's a whole box full of cash!"

"I admire no one but Brother Bao!"

"Brother Bao, this is too extravagant!"

Lin Donglei and the others were all stunned.

The contents of this box are of immeasurable value.

Hua Tianbao said, "When I have nothing to do, I like to browse the trading market. If I see something I like, I have to buy it regardless of whether I can use it or not. Before I knew it, this treasure chest was full. I don't need most of the materials in it. Lei Chi, just pick two items at random."

"Brother Bao, you're awesome!"

Lei Chi said that he would not refuse such a good thing that was offered to him. After carefully selecting, he chose a [Frost Gem] and a [Crazy Giant Rat Summoning Scroll].

The Frost Gem is an upgrade material for the Little White Dove. Once obtained, it can be used immediately without any other conditions, and can directly upgrade the Little White Dove into a Big White Dove.

As for the [Crazy Giant Rat Summoning Scroll], it is a similar item to the [Wasteland Spider Summoning Scroll]. After use, it can summon a wave of crazy giant rats to invade. Crazy giant rats are also LV1 wild monsters with 3 health points. 10 rats can spawn per second, for a total of 3.

Lei Chi is a pragmatist. He can use the [Frost Gem] as soon as he gets it, but he wants it. This [Crazy Giant Rat Summoning Scroll] is more useful. When the Crazy Giant Rat comes to invade, [Little Turtle], [Little Tiger], [Porcupine] and other creatures can kill more enemies and upgrade their ranks.

"Brother Bao, is that all?"

Lei Chi was quite happy. He then gave Hua Tianbao and the others a lesson, telling them how to collect their boxed lunches and drinks, just in case they didn't get enough.

"Once we enter the camp square, we only have ten minutes to loot. Brother Bao, please, I'll lead the way, let's go!"

Lei Chi shouted, eagerly leading the way.

Hua Tianbao laughed, "Leading us to raid your own camp, you're a ruthless guy! Playing Beast Tower is the way to go!"

He didn't think there was anything good in the secret camp of Thunder Pool that was worth plundering. After all, he was a level 30 expert player, and his taste was very discerning.

But soon, he saw the war dragon boat in the camp square, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"This is a good thing, it's mine!"
