Leveling up the territory to 6 had snagged him another 1,000 square meters. It was a shame it didn't double, but Wu Chi wasn't a greedy man. He immediately set to work rearranging his base. First, the [Thundercloud Enchantment: Stone Wall] was expanded, adding twenty new units to change its dimensions from 50x100 to 60x100. He tweaked the placement of his defense towers to ensure maximum coverage.Next, it was time for an upgrade spree.[Pyroblast Tower]: Level 5 → 6. Cost: 2000 Essence Stones![Fart Tower]: Level 5 → 6. Cost: 2000 Essence Stones![Tower of Fiery Judgment]: Level 5 → 6. Cost: 3000 Essence Stones!One by one, the towers were leveled up until his Void Essence Stones were completely gone."Once the girls are up, we can open the loot chests and get another batch," Wu Chi mumbled, stretching. Commanding a battle, even from the safety of a wall, was surprisingly draining. He was tired. Time for a nap.…The next few days blurred into a familiar, brutal rhythm: fuel war with war. Monsters attack, girls fight, Wu Chi directs and opens chests, gets resources, upgrades towers. Rinse, repeat. Once the towers were maxed, he'd upgrade the wall. Then the altars and barracks. Then the heroes and troops. Then everything else. Day by day, he grew stronger.Day 16: The invaders were a tribe of blue-skinned barbarians, tough and skilled in combat. But against the disciplined battle formation of the Great Qin Vanguards, they were just a disorganized mob. The Vanguards held the line while the cultivators and towers picked them off. The boss was a powerful Shaman who buffed his warriors into a frenzy and, when pushed, transformed into a ten-meter-tall giant. But a well-timed [Immortal Binding Seal] held him fast, and the two heroes took his head.Day 17: No rest for the wicked. The monsters didn't come in waves this time; it was a constant, 24-hour siege. Hidden summoners in the mist endlessly spawned swarms of wriggling worms and flying insects. It was a nightmare of attrition until Qin Keqing, using her hero-tier senses, hunted down and eliminated the summoners one by one. After they were all dead, a colossal golden insect appeared. It was lightning-fast and terrifyingly lethal, appearing in a flash to instantly kill several Vanguards and nearly slice Qin Keqing in half before Lin Daiyu punched it back. It was a total glass cannon—all speed and attack, no defense. It acted all tough and scary at first, but then it got tagged by an [Immortal Binding Seal], and was immediately vaporized by the two heroes' ultimate moves! One Gulp Down the Heavens slash combined with the majestic, heavenly power of the Six Ding's thunder… it was utterly horrifying.Day 18: A horde of over ten thousand zombies attacked, and this time, the boss came with them. The zombie mob included all the annoying special types: shriekers, bloaters, exploders… Their boss was a "Zombie Matron" that could spew corrosive acid, which did massive damage to buildings. During the fight, the Matron hurled a wave of kamikaze zombies at the wall, and even though the towers and troops took most of them out, enough got through to blast a breach in his defenses. The boss immediately spewed acid through the gap, melting the wall and instantly killing several Moon Palace girls who couldn't dodge in time. The remaining girls, incandescent with rage, shredded the lumbering boss to pieces before it could even get halfway to the opening.Day 19: A lucky break. The monsters were fish-men. Tens of thousands of them, led by a five-meter-tall, blue-scaled beast of a boss. In the ocean, they would have been a nightmare. On land, they were just… floppy. Wu Chi and his forces wiped them out with minimal effort.Day 20: Another easy day. The enemy was a group of powerful human martial artists. One-on-one, they could probably take down a Vanguard. But against a full military formation, they got steamrolled. Their boss was a master swordsman who nearly cleaved the territory in two with three epic slashes, but he apparently blew his entire power load on that final attack and just… keeled over. The girls finished him off without breaking a sweat.Day 21. Noon.After lunch, Wu Chi leaned back in his chair, openly admiring the two beauties sitting with him. The past couple of days had been a cakewalk, a welcome vacation for him and the girls. Of course, just because they got to relax didn't mean he could. His territory and towers were now Level 8, but his heroes and troops were still stuck at 7. He was making bank every day, but the expenses were insane. The Void Essence Stones were spent the moment he got them."Young Master, you shouldn't get too complacent," Sister Lin said, dabbing her lips with a silk napkin.He just grinned. "Nah, I've got a good feeling about this. My luck is turning! I bet today's invaders will be a bunch of weaklings we can just steamroll while lying down!""Pfft—!" Qin Keqing stifled a laugh, taking a delicate sip of soup. "Young Master, will it always be like this? So tense, so dependent on luck?""Not at all!" Wu Chi explained the "rookie trials" to them. "My situation is… special. I had a really strong start, which meant the Void's difficulty scaling went haywire. But after the trial, it'll just be normal exploration."The two women nodded in understanding."Well, Young Master, I'm going to go plant the Spirit Rice," Qin Keqing said, standing up. They now had twelve Level 5 [Spirit Fields], and it was time to replace the boring # Nоvеlight # old Earth vegetables with this new, special grade of rice that could actually boost experience."Go for it," Wu Chi nodded. "And since my luck is so good, I'm going to go try my hand at the [Red Chamber]. Maybe I can finally pull another hero." He stood up, ready to test his fate once more.
