Age of Ascension: Forging an Immortal Realm from Nothing

chapter 45 - My Heart Bleeds But My Wallet Is Fat! (1/4)


BOOM—!BOOM—!BOOM—!Stank 'em and spank 'em. That was the plan.With their inventories refilled by Wu Chi, the defense towers mercilessly blasted the bony invaders into dust. Soon, the territory was quiet once again."Thank god, just some random jobbers." Wu Chi lets out a sigh of relief, collects the treasure chests, and, too tired to even count his winnings, drags his sorry ass to the shower. Back in the cottage, he collapses onto the bed and falls into a sleep so deep it could be considered a temporary coma.…Day 11.10 AM.Wu Chi wakes up feeling like he'd been run over by a truck, then backed over for good measure. It takes him a solid minute for his brain to boot up."Ugh, so much to do today, and the [N O V E L I G H T] daily monster delivery hasn't even started yet.""Time to get up." He forces himself out of bed and heads outside. The territory feels weirdly empty and has a distinct lack of bacon now that the 40 Peppa boars are gone.In the distance, Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing stand guard on the walls. In an open area within the territory is a pile of at least three or four hundred treasure chests—a small mountain of potential disappointment and glory."Looks like the morning rush has already started," Wu Chi thinks. He walks over and calls out to them.Lin Daiyu turns and leaps down from the wall. "Young Master, these chests are from this morning's welcoming committee.""Thanks for your hard work.""It is my duty," she says with a gentle smile. "But… today's invasion will be even stronger than yesterday's. Are we… you know…"Wu Chi just grins. "Don't you worry. Your Young Master has a plan. It's called 'being stupidly rich'."Lin Daiyu's eyes sparkle with a mischievous light."Keqing! Huddle up!" Wu Chi calls out. Qin Keqing quickly jumps down and runs over."Young Master!""You two, I have a very important, top-secret mission for you." With a wicked laugh, Wu Chi unleashes a veritable loot-pocalypse, dumping over 7,000 chests from his inventory onto the ground. The area is instantly flooded."It's like Christmas, but with more potential for carpal tunnel!"Thankfully, the chests stack in the inventory, otherwise he'd need a warehouse."Leave it to us, Young Master!" Qin Keqing's pretty face lights up, a dangerous gamer-girl glimmer in her eyes. Even Lin Daiyu has a barely concealed loot-goblin grin.Wu Chi chuckles and walks away, opening the [Territory Panel].…[Territory]Level: 4 → 5! (0/1000)Territory Area: 2500 → 5000 square meters.…He upgrades to level 5, places the 4 new [Arrow Towers], which magically morph into a [Fire Tower], two [Lightning Towers], and a rare [Quake Tower]."Nice!" Wu Chi nods, expands the wall, and begins his master strategic realignment. The same old strategy: control + damage. First and foremost, the [Fart Towers]. He may hate them, but he has accepted his destiny as a master of flatulent warfare. They get top priority.And now, for the part that physically hurts him: the upgrades.Void Essence Stone -1500!Void Essence Stone -1500!…He upgrades tower after tower to level 5, watching his brand-new fortune evaporate."Ugh! My heart… it's being stabbed with a thousand tiny knives!!"He holds off on upgrading anything else and walks over to the girls, who are opening chests like a pair of caffeinated hummingbirds.A short while later, they're done. They report their findings: 11,200 Void Crystals, 3240 Void Essence Stones, a [Skeleton Knight] class change certificate, a special [Explosion Tower] building,an [Apartment] building, 35 pieces of equipment, and 2 skill books.He was damn rich again!
