Chapter 45
Territory, Level 5!

BOOM——! BOOM——! BOOM——!

Flames, explosions...

The attacks of various defensive towers erupted once more. After Wu Chi replenished his inventory, the towers mercilessly slaughtered the skeletal troops.

Soon,

Peace returned to the territory's outskirts.

"Thankfully, it was just some ordinary monsters."

Wu Chi breathed a sigh of relief and went to collect the monster's treasure chests.

Then,

Too tired to check his spoils, he went to take a bath.

Back in his small house,

He lay down on the bed,

and fell into a deep sleep.

......

Day 11!

10:00 AM,

Wu Chi awoke from his slumber, feeling stiff and with a fuzzy head.

For a while,

He couldn't shake off the grogginess, and rubbed his temples.

"I have a ton to do today, and the monster invasion hasn't even arrived yet."

"Got to get up!"

He rallied himself, put on his shoes, and left the house.

The territory,

was eerily empty,

with the absence of 40 Wild Boar Peggys, it felt lifeless.

In the distance,

On the wooden wall,

Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing stood on opposite sides.

In the open space inside the wall, a pile of "Kill Chests" lay,

judging by the number,

at least three or four hundred!

"So, the minor wave of monsters has already come."

Wu Chi wasn't surprised,

these chests must have been collected by Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing after their kills.

He walked over and called out.

On the wooden wall,

Lin Daiyu turned and saw Wu Chi. She leaped off the wall and walked towards him.

"Sir, these chests were obtained during the monster invasion this morning."

"Hm, you've worked hard."

Wu Chi nodded,

Lin Daiyu smiled gently and whispered, "This is what this servant should do."

"But... Sir, according to the rules of the Newcomer Trial, today's invasion strength will surely be higher than yesterday, and with our current situation..."

She pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes tinged with worry.

Wu Chi wasn't afraid, instead he chuckled, "Don't worry, your humble servant has a plan."

"Hm."

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, as if she'd thought of something, and she giggled slyly.

"Right, Keqing! Come here!"

Wu Chi called out,

Qin Keqing, who had been observing from afar, was startled and quickly jumped down, running to Wu Chi's side.

"Sir!"

She gave a graceful curtsey.

"The two of you, open all the chests!"

"There are quite a lot of them!"

Wu Chi chuckled, taking out all the chests from his inventory,

adding to those on the ground, there were over 7000!

At once,

The ground was covered in a thick layer of chests.

Speaking of which, it's good that chests can be stacked in the inventory,

chests from the same type of monster only occupy one slot,

so there's no worry of the inventory being filled up.

"Sir, leave it to us."

Qin Keqing clenched her small fist, a hint of excitement in her pretty face.

This kind of lucky chest opening was pretty fun!

Lin Daiyu also felt a little excited, but she kept her lips pursed and didn't say anything.

Wu Chi smiled, walked away, and opened the [Territory Panel]!

......

[Territory]

(Omitted)

Level: 4→5! (0/1000)

Territory Area: 2500→5000 square meters.

Buildings: (Omitted)

......

He upgraded the territory to level five, then Wu Chi placed the 4 new [Arrow Towers] he had acquired,

earning a [Flame Tower], 2 [Lightning Towers] and a [Earthquake Tower],

[Flame Tower] and [Lightning Tower] are common elemental towers,

as for the [Earthquake Tower], it's a rather rare special building that can unleash a large-scale "Earthquake Spell," with impressive damage and control capabilities.

"Not bad!"

Wu Chi nodded, glancing at the territory panel,

first, he expanded the wooden wall to 50x100 specifications,

then spent some Void Crystals to extend the wooden wall outwards!

Next,

He began to assign the defensive towers,

following his usual tactic,

control + output,

the most powerful [Stinky Tower], although Wu Chi disliked it, he understood its amazing power, so it had the highest priority, positioned in every corner, every direction,

Elemental towers, crossbow towers, machine gun towers and other output types were also strategically deployed,

while the [Fire Rain Tower] and [Earthquake Tower] were placed within the territory,

their large attack range meant there was no worry of missing enemies.

Then,

Came the heart-wrenching upgrade process!

Void Source Stone - 1500!

Void Source Stone - 1500!

Void Source Stone - 1500!

......

Tower after tower reached level 5,

the new towers even jumped straight from level 1 to level 5, completely transforming their appearance and significantly increasing their power.

"My heart bleeds!"

Wu Chi thought for a moment and decided to postpone upgrading other buildings for now,

instead, he headed towards the two heroines.

They were opening chests, their speed was incredible, boosted by their powerful attributes, their movements were almost like phantoms,

not something Wu Chi could compete with.

A while later,

All the chests were opened,

the two women reported their findings and handed the items to Wu Chi.

In total, there were 11200 Void Crystals, 3240 Void Source Stones,

[Skeleton Knight] Job Transfer Certificate, Special Building [Inferno Tower], Territory Building [Apartment] x1, 35 pieces of equipment, and 2 Skill Books.
