Chapter 237

"Dingdong~ Welcome to 【War】, have a pleasant game!"

"Dingdong~ During your offline period, 【Basic Combat Academy】 generated 7900 experience points; you triggered 【Supreme Experience Halo (LV10000)】 and gained 790 million experience points!"

"Dingdong~ During your offline period, your hero 【Revenge Soul · Xiao Hun】 cleared 31 monster nests around, obtaining resources: 130,000 base resources, 7,800 magic crystals!"

"Dingdong~ During your offline period, your hero 【Warrior · Elin】 researched the skill 【Royal Glory (LV1)】 of the unit 【Ancient Elf Royal Archer】, gaining 5,000 skill experience points!"

"Dingdong~ You triggered 【Supreme Experience Halo (LV1000)】 and gained 50 million skill experience points!"

"Dingdong~ The skill 【Royal Glory】 of your unit 【Ancient Elf Royal Archer】 has leveled up; it is now level 10, maxed out!"

"…"

"Dingdong~ During your offline period, 【Netherworld Dragon】 was trained ×1360…"

"Dingdong~ Your 【Lord Quest · Tier 3】 has been completed; you may submit the quest!"

"…"

"Dingdong~ The current beginner map has been reset; some quests for players can now continue. Partial reconstruction quests have appeared on the current map; please explore!"

"…"

…

In the chat box, the students were also spamming messages.

"Hahaha, the map's finally reset!!"

"With all these buffs, I'm finally taking off!"

"Our Dragon Nation has several insane buffs—how could we not fly? Everyone, rush production and conquer the Secret Realm!"

"Uh, does anyone know what this reconstruction quest is?"

"…"

The scorched earth buff finally ended; the students rushed into the game impatiently.

Qin Feng scratched his ear; he found the players annoyingly loud.

At this moment, he was tallying up the gains in his territory.

With several absurdly powerful halos, Qin Feng, just idling, far outpaced the players' development speed.

After going offline and idling for a while, even his basic experience buildings generated tens of millions of experience points.

And his three female heroes were also highly capable.

First was Elisa; after just twenty hours offline, his territory had transformed almost entirely.

Countless buildings now stood shoulder to shoulder in the territory, mostly… large warehouses.

The territory's resources were simply too abundant—they nearly filled the entire land—so Elisa had no choice but to build countless large warehouses.

Outside the territory, a ring of towering defense towers now rose into the clouds.

The towers were overall a pale purple; their tops grew denser in hue, faintly forming a chilling eyeball, radiating an intense aura of ill omen.

At Qin Feng's instruction, Elisa had directly encircled the territory with divine-mystic-level defense towers.

Qin Feng did a quick count—yes, at least two thousand of them.

As the territory expanded, this number would continue to rise.

Qin Feng examined the defense tower's attributes.

【Netherfire Tower】

Description: A defense tower developed by Netherworld divine-level archmages, capable of wielding Netherworld fire to strike enemies' souls.

Level: 1

Grade: Divine-Mystic

Physical/Magical Attack: 258,000

Durability: 75 quadrillion / 75 quadrillion (Elisa's skill bonus)

Energy Cost: 800 mana per attack

Attributes:

1. 【Netherfire】

Effect: Netherfire Tower's damage ignores pain immunity; each attack can target up to 500 enemies simultaneously; damage against soul entities is true damage.

2. 【Netherfire Rain】

Effect: Each attack has a 0.2% chance to summon a scorching rain of Netherfire, dealing 2 million damage per second to all enemies within a 30,000-yard radius.

3. 【Gaze of the Nether】

Effect: Enemies killed by 【Netherfire Tower】 permanently lose 1% of their stats; this effect stacks up to 99 times; upon the 100th kill, the enemy dies permanently, ignoring all resurrection items or skills.

…

Hiss!

Seeing the 【Netherfire Tower】's attributes, Qin Feng's eyes narrowed.

Is this what a Divine-Mystic-level defense tower looks like?!

The highest-tier defense tower Qin Feng had obtained in his past life was merely legendary—he'd never seen a Divine-Mystic one before.

Its stats could only be described as insane.

Its raw attack power was terrifying enough, but its three skills were each more absurd than the last.

· ····· Requesting flowers · ·······

First was 【Netherfire】, granting the 【Netherfire Tower】 formidable AOE capability.

But most defense towers already had this function.

Qin Feng cared about the 【ignores pain immunity】 effect.

In 【War】, all players were data-converted.

Therefore, aside from a few masochists, all players had directly blocked out pain in the game.

Otherwise…

After all, players have to fight every day too—who the hell would want to get cut down day after day?

However.

【Ghostly Fire】 had directly disabled this function!!

This meant that, once hit by Qin Feng's 【Netherfire Tower】, they would get to enjoy the sensation of being burned to death by fire!

Afraid… truly not many people could endure it.

【Ghostly Fire Rain】, on the other hand, was an AOE skill with terrifying damage, capable of dishing out 2,000,000 damage per second.

Although the trigger probability wasn't high, with enough defensive towers, the problem was perfectly solved.

What Qin Feng cared about was 【Nether Gaze】.

It could permanently lower an enemy's attributes?!

Qin Feng said he truly had never seen anything like it.

What an eye-opener.

Now the problem was energy.

As a Divine-tier defensive tower, the energy consumption of 【Netherfire Tower】 was naturally maxed out.

Each attack required a full 800 points of mana.

In 【War】, energy was provided by magic crystals.

Players needed to build various energy-extraction structures to draw mana from them.

Generally speaking, one unit of magic crystal could provide one unit of mana.

The energy required for several thousand defensive towers to operate simultaneously—Qin Feng simply couldn't provide it.

It wasn't that there wasn't enough energy, but that the energy-transport network wasn't up to the task.

The mana-transport pipelines of low tier lords were extremely fragile.

He feared they could transmit at most only a few tens of thousands of mana at once; any more, and the pipeline would collapse.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng's eyes lit up—hadn't he been tinkering away at school all day precisely to solve the energy problem?

He directly took out a bottle of azure-blue potion from his backpack.

【Low-Grade Energy-Saving Potion】

Description: A special potion from the Will of the Heavens. After use, it can reduce mana consumption.

Grade: 1

grade: Common
