Rapid Development Small Loot Box: a small package of resources specially designed for the Lord of the Chaotic City.

Contains: 20 gold coins (Bound, cannot be traded with other players)

Contains: Two pieces of Chaotic Stone Slabs.

Contains: One piece of a Random Defensive Tower Blueprint Fragment (Collecting all three pieces will result in the combination of all three fragments to obtain a complete drawing.)

Contains: Special Monster Summoning Token (Can be used during monster attacks on cities to summon a special monster. The types of special monsters summoned are random, but the level is limited to the current wave of monster attacks.)

Although there were many items in the small loot box, it was a pity that there was nothing that would bring him immediate results. With this, Li Hanqiang could only say that his luck was neither good nor bad. However, the Special Monster Summoning Token seemed like an object worth looking forward to.

Events such as special monsters and random events only had a small probability of being triggered during monster attacks and they usually brought in huge benefits. For example, the Old Black Pig during the first monster attack had contributed a hundred gold coins. As for the Treasure Chest Monster in the second wave of monster attacks, although it had only given them an adventurer’s skill book, its value could still not be denied.

Speaking of which, Li Hanqiang was a lucky person to have triggered the Flying Old Black Pig and Treasure Chest Monster one after the other. After all, the system notification had clearly indicated that these events had a small probability of occurring.

Of course, they may have also been deliberately arranged by the system in order to enhance the gaming experience for the Chaotic City Lords.

The Special Monster Summoning Token made Li Hanqiang look forward to the third monster attack. He was no longer hesitant as he immediately opened the third wave of monster attacks on the city and released the city defense mission.

The mission notice was as such. [The Lord of Chaotic City No. 68, Li Hanqiang, has released the city defense task. He has just gotten a powerful general skill book. The third wave of monster attacks will be starting immediately, and there is a 100% chance that special monsters will appear. Do not hesitate, come and defend the city. In addition, he will also be purchasing items relevant to the Chaotic City Lord job, such as defensive tower construction blueprints, blueprint fragments, and special construction blueprints at a high price that will surely leave you satisfied. For details, please enter the city to consult.]

As soon as Li Hanqiang released the notice, he received a few system notifications for gold coins that had been earned for three delivery tickets sold. Li Hanqiang deduced that these tickets had been bought by Dark Redemption, Fanning Knight, and Fiery Blade Sage.

Of course, these three had bought their tickets fast so that they could secure their positions. They were not in a rush to go back to the city as they still had to make some preparations beforehand.

Taking advantage of the ample preparation time himself, Li Hanqiang began to lay the Stone Slabs.

All four new Chaotic Stone Slabs he had were placed in front of the Space-Time Tunnel, together with the first Chaotic Stone Slab. With this, there would be five players positioned near the Space-Time Wormhole.

This was set especially by Li Hanqiang for the melee players so that the ranged players could be placed on the four scattered stone plates at the back.

Just as he finished placing the Chaotic Stone Slabs, a ray of light suddenly came down from the sky. Li Hanqiang looked and saw that a player had appeared on the Chaotic Stone Slab in the front. It was not Dark Redemption, Fanning, or Fiery.

This player had hidden his nickname and job information. He was only at Level 2 and had a fat belly, with a very greasy look and a semi-bald head. His mouth was curved at the corners as he smiled gently like a Maitreya Buddha1.

“You are the Lord of Chaotic City No. 68, Li Hanqiang, right? I saw the purchase information that you had posted in your city defense mission. Come, come, come, I have something good here for you. You can decide how much you are willing to pay for it.” The pot-bellied player opened his storage space and a golden scroll appeared in his hand.

The Blue Ripple Pond Construction Blueprint: Special item, the Lord of the Chaotic City can open up space within the Chaotic City to build the Blue Ripple Pond.

The Blue Ripple Pond is a scenic building. After construction, it gives a slight increase in the chances of special monsters appearing during the monster attacks and has another mysterious function. The initial size of Blue Ripple Pond is 20 acres and provides the [Fishing] activity. The Blue Ripple Pond can be expanded and upgraded after the hidden conditions have been fulfilled. The player should explore the details by themselves.

PS: The activation of this item requires the consumption of 100 points of Chaotic Energy and successfully resisting against the third wave of monster attacks.

‘This is a good item.’

Li Hanqiang saw the attribute information of the scroll in the hands of the pot-bellied player and was very interested. However, he did not show any response on his face.

“How is it? It’s good then, isn’t it!” The pot-bellied player stored the golden scroll back again. “There is only one of this and it is very hard to come by. I will not sell it if the price is low!”

“How much do you want?” Li Hanqiang asked.

The pot-bellied player put out a finger and smiled. “10,000 gold coins!”

“10,000 gold coins?” Li Hanqiang glared. “Have you gone crazy just thinking about gold coins?”

The pot-bellied player was not angry and said slowly, “This is the construction blueprint of a special building. It is absolutely rare and hard to get your hands on. If you miss out on it, you may never see a second one. Is 10,000 gold coins too much? Not at all!”

Li Hanqiang laughed angrily and said, “Brother, today is the first day the Chaotic City has been opened. You can touch your own pocket. How many gold coins do you have? There is no way that I have 10,000 gold coins and even if I did, it is impossible that I would spend all that money on such a drawing. After all, the Blue Ripple Pond can only provide one leisure activity. How many functions would it have? Your asking price is too ridiculous!”

The pot-bellied player pouted. “With that being said, even if you have no gold coins, we can also trade in cash even though my preference is still for gold coins.”

Li Hanqiang waved his hand and said, “Okay, let’s not beat about the bush. This drawing is quite interesting, but only just a little. It is not a necessity and won’t bring in huge profits for me. You don’t need to make up a price that is as high as the sky. If it was up to me, I’d say it’s about 10 gold coins.”

“10 gold coins?” The pot-bellied player waved his hands over and over again. “Brother, please don’t make jokes. You wish to buy this blueprint with 10 gold coins? Even if players now do not have many gold coins, I have said that we can trade in cash. This game is so hot, so there must be many local tyrants. I do not think it would be that difficult to sell this drawing for 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. What do you say?”

“Since that is the case, brother, you can go and find those local tyrants instead.” Li Hanqiang shook his head. Although he had the money, he did not want to be the kind of person that had more money than sense.

“Brother, why don’t you think about it again. How about… 8000 gold coins, or a cash transaction of 100,000 yuan?” The pot-bellied player suddenly felt bad. He came here by buying a teleport ticket worth 1 gold coin. If he failed to sell the item, would that not be a huge loss for him?

Li Hanqiang’s eyes suddenly turned and he said with a smile on his face, “Let’s try a different trading method.”

“What kind of trading method?” The pot-bellied player saw a glimmer of hope and it was revealed in his expression.

Li Hanqiang pointed in a direction behind the pot-bellied player. “Look at the Mysterious Shop behind you.”

The pot-bellied player turned his head and opened the window panel of the mysterious shop in a puzzled manner as he said, “Hey, there is a shop and these goods… The price is a little off. The price for a bottle of low-level potions outside is only 10 silver coins. The ones sold here cost 12 silver coins. That’s really shady!”

He turned his head to look at Li Hanqiang. “Brother, what do you mean by this?”

Li Hanqiang put on an enigmatic expression with his hand clasped behind his back and said, “Are you buying any potions?”
