Age of Ascension: Forging an Immortal Realm from Nothing

vol. 2 chapter 7 - Missile Tower! And Some Sweet Alloy Armor! (7/10)


S-Rank Bonus Rewards: [Void Crystal] x 15000, [Void Essence Stone] x 10000, Territory Building: [Water Well], Territory Building: [Toilet], Territory Building: [Arrow Tower], Equipment: [Alloy Armor].This whole battle…Yeah, not too shabby!Wu Chi wasn't fighting a disciplined army, just a slobbering monster horde. It wasn't exactly a game of 4D chess.He thought for a second, then turned and barked, "Alright people, loot everything that isn't nailed down!""Your Majesty!"The Great Qin Vanguards acknowledged, leaping down in perfect unison.The maidens gave a much softer, fluffier "Mm~," floating down like elegant dandelion seeds to collect the shinies.The battlefield was an absolute shitshow.Blood, mangled corpses, and busted metal parts were strewn everywhere. A real goddamn mess.But just as quickly, the Void slurped it all up, leaving behind nothing but the glorious [Kill Chests]!"Young Master, maybe… I could help too?"Jia Yingchun's pretty face was beet red as she clutched Wu Chi's arm, radiating embarrassment. She'd been a benchwarmer the entire time. Even Wu Chi, her Young Master, who by all rights should be sipping tea and getting fanned, was in the thick of it directing the troops! And here she was, his hero, doing sweet fuck all…"Nah, you're good. Just keep AFKing."Wu Chi flashed a grin.Jia Yingchun did not compute. Her big, watery eyes just blinked, a perfect picture of dial-up noises in a pretty head. She mulled it over, decided arguing was a bad idea, and just squeaked out, "Yes, Young Master."Just then, Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing strolled back.Sister Lin was drenched in gore, looking like she’d just survived a blender. She might be a warrior, but she was still a lady who liked not being covered in monster guts. In the heat of battle? Fine. But afterward? This shit was unacceptable."Young Master, this servant is going to… de-gunk herself."She gave a small bow.Wu Chi nodded, waving her off.Qin Keqing was a lot cleaner, but hours of fighting will make anyone sweat. The idea of a bath was calling her name, too. Naturally, Wu Chi wasn't about to say no.Seeing her friends leave, Jia Yingchun got all jittery. She shot a timid glance at Wu Chi and mumbled, "Young Master, Yingchun wants to go too…""Go, go!"Wu Chi couldn't help but laugh, giving her a friendly pat on her soft back. The girl jumped, blushing fiercely before scurrying off the wall after her sisters.Watching the three stunners retreat, Wu Chi just shook his head and got down to business sorting his haul.Void Crystals and Essence Stones? Straight into the bank.He plopped the [Water Well] down next to his [Moon Wells].And just like clockwork… a little tap on the '+' sign and BAM! A brand new [Moon Well]!Next up, the [Toilet].The territory had been suffering from a one-toilet crisis, which is a far more serious problem than it sounds. The existing one, the legendary [Whisper of Roses], was a fragrant potty that had the girls feeling all sorts of weird. It was so damn pleasant you'd forget you were there to drop a deuce. This second john was a solution to a truly "burning emergency."[Toilet (+)]Wu Chi placed it right next to the [Rose's Whisper] and gave it a poke.A five-colored divine light exploded from his finger, swallowing the tiny outhouse. A second later, the light vanished. What appeared wasn't a twin to the fancy-pants floral toilet, but a building that was way, way bigger.[Public Restroom]Type: ToiletLevel: 1Capacity: 10Stock: 10/10Description: Automatically cleans itself daily. Costs 1 Stock."No special attributes? Seriously?" Wu Chi looked profoundly let down.Sure, he liked to complain about the bougie rose toilet, but a latrine that literally buffs your happiness? That's some high-class shit, literally.Still, ten more stalls was a godsend."At least no one has to cross their legs and wait in line anymore!"Shaking his head, he grabbed the [Arrow Tower] and plunked it down. The five-colored light worked its magic again. When it faded… Wu Chi's eyes nearly popped out of his skull.Holy hell…Is that a fucking missile silo?!Sitting there was a sleek, white structure that looked like it belonged in a Bond villain's secret base. Smack in the middle was a white missile, looking suspiciously like the ones used by that pain-in-the-ass robot tank.[Missile Tower]Type: Defensive TowerLevel: 1 (0/500)Function: Missile Attack (Level 1)Range: 5000 metersStock: 1/1Interval: 60 minutesDescription: Truth lies within the blast radius of a missile."So this is what tech weapons look like when they get all gamified…"Wu Chi's mind raced. Judging by the upgrade cost, this thing had to pack a serious punch. And the range was decent. For a single, self-contained launcher, being able to hit anything was a miracle.Without a second thought, Wu Chi dumped enough resources to get the [Missile Tower] all the way to level 8! In his book, the only thing better than a big tower was an even bigger, more upgraded tower!Finally, he checked out the boss drop.[Alloy Armor]Type: Heavy ArmorLevel: 15Quality: Golden LegendAttribute 1: Provides Armor Plating.Attribute 2: Constitution +75, Spirit +30Attribute 3: Physical Impact Damage -10%Restriction: Constitution > 200Description: Incredible power and defense! At the cost of a few brain cells, probably."Dope."Wu Chi knew exactly who was getting this bad boy. The monster invasions hadn't been too crazy yet; for the entire newbie trial, level 15 was the cap. The real curveballs were monsters like that kiting, missile-spamming tank. That thing was a slippery little shit. If his heroes hadn't both had over 500 Constitution, they'd still be chasing it around.A boss that kites you? You gotta be kidding me."Only in the damn Newbie Trial…"Wu Chi sighed, waving a hand to have the [Small Qiankun World] suck up the new toy.The invasion was over. Time to chill. Wu Chi assigned the [Alloy Armor] to Lin Daiyu.The armor was a hulking, ugly piece of junk that looked like a half-finished suit for a low-budget space marine. Sister Lin was, to put it mildly, horrified.Thank god for inventory slots, because making her actually wear that monstrosity would be a capital crime against fashion.Next, Wu Chi found Jia Yingchun and made her his designated chest-opener!7,000-plus chests. The poor, timid girl didn't dare say no and was put to work like a terrified, yet miraculously lucky, assembly-line worker.Her 12 points of Luck were nothing short of magical!From over 7,000 chests, she pulled out over 23,000 [Void Crystals] and 19,000 [Void Essence Stones]! Not to mention a mountain of snacks, drinks, and clothes.As for gear, she found 31 pieces. 3 were vendor trash, but the rest were 20 commons, 5 greens, and 3 blues! All level 15.Back in the day, that would've been a jackpot. But now, with Golden Legends dropping from every boss, they seemed about as impressive as a wet fart in a hurricane. Wu Chi barely glanced at them before passing them out.And so began the Great Upgrade Spree!First, get Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing to level 8 ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) and boost their skills. Then the territory to level 9, then the defense towers…
