The Lord route and the Elite route are two completely different development paths, both of which are very complex.

In his previous life, Su Bai followed the elite path.

My understanding of the lord's route came entirely from studying defensive tower combinations when I was bored, and that's what I learned incidentally.

However, some very early information is difficult to fully record in later guides.

Just like this special challenge.

It refers to the early game content.

Later, it was replaced by other functions in version updates.

Su Bai had never encountered this before, and was completely clueless when he suddenly came across it.

He opened the forum and started searching for relevant information.

at the same time.

Then I remembered the Lost City.

Half a day has passed, and everyone who was supposed to get a ticket has already done so. Who will be the first to explore and open the secret realm?

Those business owners who spent a lot of money to buy tickets would definitely disagree.

I thought about it.

Su Bai decided to entrust this matter to Liu Er.

He could also use the strategy guide to exchange for information on opening the gate, but at this point in time, it would be easy for people to associate him with Liu Er.

Now that we have successfully cultivated Liu Er as the 'spokesperson' for external affairs.

These kinds of things can all be left to him to do.

One strategy guide can be exchanged for a day's worth of information. Su Bai has over a thousand strategies in his possession, enough to keep trading forever.

Moreover, Liu Er can still use the strategy guides that he exchanged with privately to post online.

Neither will interfere with the other.

...

After searching for some relevant information, he also obtained the general information about the Gold Coin Challenge.

"Existing defensive towers cannot be used; all randomized modes, starting from scratch?"

"That's rather novel..."

Su Bai muttered to himself.

According to some players who have already tried it, in the Gold Challenge (Public) mode, all the defensive towers that players already own are unusable, and the system will automatically refresh the defensive towers of different factions each round for players to choose from.

All the equipment, skills, and items a player possesses in the game cannot affect this challenge.

It all comes down to luck.

If you're lucky and get a strong enough randomly selected defensive tower, you can achieve a higher score.

If you're unlucky, you'll only find a few junk towers when you get there.

They'll be carried away in two or three rounds...

"No, the key to this pattern isn't just luck, but also experience!"

Su Bai's eyes brightened slightly.

In his view, this mode is entirely designed to test players' understanding of the defensive towers of different factions, so that they can create the most suitable defensive system in the random mode.

This is the key factor that will affect the grades!

And now, who understands the characteristics of defensive towers better than him?!

"This model was made just for me..."

He was secretly delighted.

No matter how much more information we collect, we can't gather any more.

In random mode, everyone's experience is different, and other experiences are not very valuable for reference.

Su Bai pondered for a moment.

Soon, a decision was made, and the user manipulated their thoughts to activate the button for the Gold Coin Challenge (Public).

call!

The button suddenly transformed into a pale golden vortex that swallowed him whole.

Open your eyes again.

He had appeared in a desolate place.

The sky and the earth stretch as far as the eye can see, with no end in sight, only a desolate landscape where not a blade of grass grows. And on this land, there is a square platform that looks like a chessboard.

The platform is about 100 meters in diameter, with a deep red teleportation portal at each of the four corners.

It is connected to it.

They are winding and tortuous roads.

At the end of the four roads, in the center of the platform, stands a towering blue crystal.

[Base Crystal: No special ability, HP: 20/20]

...

A piece of information appeared before Su Bai's eyes.

At this moment, he was looking down at the entire chessboard from a god-like perspective. He couldn't feel his own existence, but he could control everything on the chessboard, just like when he was playing computer games.

A line of information floats directly above the viewpoint.

[First wave of monsters countdown: 60 seconds!]

[Cards have been refreshed!]

In this mode, defensive towers gain experience and level up during battles. Each successful challenge grants an additional level of 1, and you have one chance to choose a level after each successful challenge!

Please strategically combine defensive towers and items to protect your base crystal from monster attacks. The challenge rewards will accumulate after each wave; the higher the wave you survive, the richer the rewards!

[Estimated reward for the first wave: 10 silver!]

...

The rules of this mode are easy to understand, and it is somewhat different from territory defense.

Su Bai clicked on a 'shop' icon on the right side of his vision.

The interface immediately appeared.

Number of selections: 1

[Upgrade: Temporarily unavailable due to lack of defense towers]

[Card Draw: Five cards have been refreshed so far!]

Follow the prompts.

Five cards, each engraved with a defensive tower design, are quietly displayed in the shop.

All five cards are ordinary-level defensive towers.

Among them, three basic cards were completely ignored by Su Bai.

This mode is all about the synergy and combination of defensive towers; choosing basic tower types is tantamount to suicide.

The remaining two towers are a sacred tower and an elemental tower.

The Sacred Arrow

【sacred】

[Level: 1]
