The first wave of defense rewarded him with 1 silver coin and 15 copper coins.
Su Bai did the math.
They were able to barely manage to buy enough wood and stone to build the Wind Blade Tower.
Baiyuan crystal is also available for sale.
But the price is: 50 silver coins.
"So expensive?... This clearly indicates they didn't intend to use in-game trading channels."
After thinking for a moment, Su Bai understood.
It's impossible for anyone to come up with 50 silver coins at this stage.
By setting this price, the seller likely wants the buyer to contact him privately—the seller's name can be displayed in the market.
Conduct real-world transactions.
This involves his blind spot...
"High prices are only temporary. After a few more rounds of defense, the price of materials should come down a bit."
Su Bai did not consume blindly.
He clicked on the territory hub, and a line of information immediately appeared.
[Next monster attack time: 2h46m37s!]
...
The next wave will take another three hours.
Su Bai pondered for a moment.
The defensive towers are now his biggest advantage.
Other lord players will at most have one level 2 defensive tower after the first wave.
Facing the second wave of monsters attacking the city will be very difficult.
Not only did he upgrade the defense tower to level three, but with the bonus from the Soul Fusion talent, his own output was equivalent to having a second level three defense tower.
This means he can easily defend against the second wave as well.
Let's enjoy another round of high-scoring rewards!
If he can maintain this advantage, he can obtain a large number of valuable items through the defense gift pack.
This is something even whales can't compare to.
After all, even if there were a trading market, it could only be used to trade with the three hundred lords within the Fallen Dragon Island region.
Limited number of people allowed.
This means that resource production is low.
Even if whales spend a lot of money in the early stages, it will be difficult for them to gain a rapid development advantage.
"I want to make the most of this precious time for development."
Su Bai thought to himself.
He looked at the market again.
Then he used the money he had to buy 6 units of wood, 6 units of stone, and 4 units of fiber.
Open up territory for construction.
Su Bai selected one of the buildings.
Workbench
put up!
Whoosh!
A workbench covered with blueprints immediately appeared in the lord's hut.
Open the workbench.
You'll then see that many basic items can be crafted.
[Straw rope: Requires 2 fibers, takes 1m to complete]
[Stone Axe: Requires 1 piece of wood, 1 stone, and 1 piece of rope; takes 3 minutes to complete]
[Stone Pickaxe: Requires 1 piece of wood, 1 stone, and 1 piece of straw rope; takes 3 minutes to complete]
...
The workbench was built using 4 units of wood and 4 units of stone.
Su Bai then twisted the four fibers into two straw ropes.
Then he made two stone axes.
Grabbing his stone axe, he headed straight for the outskirts of the territory. Tall trees surrounded the territory, and there were also unknown wild grasses and flowers in the woods.
Su Bai looked around and chose a large tree that was so thick that it would take one person to hug it.
He immediately swung his axe and chopped at it.
when!
Wood chips flew everywhere, a dull sound echoing through the forest, scattering leaves and causing a few unripe wild fruits to fall from the branches.
[Hint: Learn - Basic Lumberjacking!]
[Gained: Lumbering Proficiency +1!]
A system notification then sounded.
Su Bai suddenly felt that the axe in his hand became more comfortable to use.
I took a quick look when I had a spare moment.
[Beginner Lumberjacking: Lv1, Basic lumberjacking skills, lumberjacking efficiency +3%, stamina consumption during lumberjacking -3%]
...
The bonus from basic skills isn't very strong.
But it's better than nothing.
Su Bai continued to work diligently.
He stopped and rested several times, and it took him a full half hour to finally cut down the big tree.
Boom!
After the tree trunk fell to the ground, it automatically disintegrated into individual logs.
"Huff..."
Su Bai stopped moving, panting heavily.
A brand new stone axe has lost one-third of its durability.
He put away the stone axe and saw that his hands were covered with ruptured blisters, and waves of stinging pain constantly stimulated his nerves.
"Making games too realistic isn't always a good thing..."
He gave a wry smile.
