Over 4000 treasure chests—

even if Wu Chi only needed a thought to open them, he’d still feel drained.

However, with Qin Keqing’s high spirit attribute,

she could sweep through a large batch effortlessly.

It was easy!

Before long,

all theKill Chestswere opened.

A total of 7,320Void Crystals, 1,843Void Essence Stones, 23 pieces of equipment, 2 skill books, and a massive amount of life supplies were acquired.

The notable loot included:

Territory Building:Barracks,

Territory Building:Arrow Towersx4,

Territory Building:Flame Tower,

Territory Building:Canteen.

There was a lot to sort through,

so Wu Chi could only proceed slowly.

“Keqing, thank you for your help. You can rest now.”

Wu Chi gently patted Qin Keqing’s delicate hand.

The lovely lady timidly nodded,

gazing at Wu Chi a few more times before lying down and slowly closing her eyes.

Wu Chi tiptoed out,

ready to organize his gains.

TheVoid CrystalsandVoid Essence Stoneswere quickly stowed in the inventory.

The 23 pieces of equipment were mostly grey and white,

ordinary items that Wu Chi had lost interest in.

The only green-grade item, aWolf Fang Longsword,

replaced his alloy longsword and was strapped to his waist.

The two skill books were:

Fireball Spell– white quality,

Swift Talisman– blue quality.

However, theSwift Talismanhad learning requirements:

Rune CraftingLevel 1 andTaoismLevel 1.

Typically, only cultivation-based professions could learn it.

TheFireball Spellhad no requirements but its damage was unimpressive,

so Wu Chi stored both for now.

The life supplies were mostly food and water,

which Wu Chi didn’t lack, so they were stored as well.

In no time,

his inventory was packed!

Next,

he started placing buildings.

At each corner,

he added anArrow Tower!

The next step:

activate the cheat!

Wu Chi tapped the “+” button.

A flash of five-colored divine light swept over,

and within seconds,

the divine light faded, revealing four new towers:

oneBlazing Tower, oneFrost Tower, oneMachine Gun Tower, and oneCrossbow Tower!

“Good thing it’s not anotherStench Tower!”

Wu Chi let out a relieved sigh.

TheStench Towerswere strong,

but he had plenty, and their control capabilities were sufficient.

What he needed now was more firepower!

Next,

he placed theFlame Toweralong one side of the wooden wall.

TheFlame Towerwas a common elemental tower that sprayed fire,

far less powerful than theBlazing Tower.

But…

that was before the cheat!

Wu Chi tapped the “+” again!

[Rain of Fire Tower]

Type: Defensive Tower

Level: 1 (0/200)

Ability:Rain of Fire(Level 1) (60-second cooldown)

Attack Range: 2000 meters

Inventory: 1/1

Description: A powerful area-attack spell. The high-temperature rain of fire can scorch the air.

“As expected, it’s as rare and powerful as theFrost Curse Tower!”

Wu Chi nodded in satisfaction. TheFrost Curse Towerhad already proven its worth in the last battle,

with its frost spells and frost golems tearing through the monster tide, creating advantageous conditions for the output towers!

TheRain of Fire Towerhad only one in stock,

a 60-second cooldown,

and a high potential for devastating power!

After pondering,

Wu Chi glanced at his remainingVoid Essence Stonesand opened the attribute panel to start upgrading.

[Rain of Fire Tower]

Level: 1 → 2!

Level: 2 → 3!

Level: 3 → 4!

Level: 4 (0/1500)

Ability:Rain of Fire(Level 4)

“1700 Void Essence Stones gone in one go…”

Wu Chi winced.

Every time he upgraded a building, it felt like cutting off a piece of himself, but upgrading was essential.

Without a reliable Level 4 tower,

thousands of monsters would’ve overwhelmed him by now!

As for the four newly placed towers,

he only had a few hundredVoid Essence Stonesleft—

not enough to upgrade, so he’d have to wait.

Today’s battle settlement

would undoubtedly bring a surge inVoid Essence Stones!

“There’s also theBarracksand theCanteen…”

Wu Chi’s eyes flickered.

With twoBarracksnow,

theSteel Armored Boars’ Shedwas becoming less useful.

On the battlefield,

the 40 steel-armored boars were less effective than a singleStench Tower.

It was a typical early-unit drawback,

but Wu Chi, being a cheat-enabled lord, couldn’t be content with that!

“Level 5 upgrade! Void Essence Stones! Just waiting for you!”

Wu Chi had a plan in mind,

waiting for today’s settlement to execute it!

“TheCanteencan be placed now.”

He found a spot and tossed out the building model.

The model expanded with the wind,

transforming into a 100-square-meter canteen.

Wu Chi checked its attributes.

[Canteen] (+)

Level: 1 (0/100)

Functions: Process food, create ingredients

Inventory: 100/100

Description: Consumes water, electricity, and ingredients from inventory.

TheCanteenwas a decent living facility,

enough to feed the three of them for a month!

Of course,

he’d need to provide the ingredients himself.
