After the regional announcement sounded, a huge black pig with wings immediately appeared from the Space-Time Wormhole.

[Flying Old Black Pig: Level 6, 600 HP, able to steal 15 Chaotic Energy from the Chaos’ Core.]

The Flying Old Black Pig was the size of a baby elephant, with a rounded balloon body and extremely fast flight speed. It quickly surpassed the Little Black Pigs beneath it and ran along the War Corridor, heading straight towards the Chaos’ Core.

“Wow, a Boss has appeared. It has 600 HP so attack it, attack it quickly!” First-Class Star started yelling loudly.

Li Hanqiang, Dark Redemption, and Fanning Knight immediately turned their sights toward the Flying Old Black Pig. As soon as it entered the shooting range of the Arrow Tower, Li Hanqiang took control of the Arrow Tower and started attacking it.

The Old Black Pig that could fly was an unusual sight. It seemed to have a relatively high physical defense and each arrow from the Arrow Tower could only inflict around 10 damage points. As the monster had 600 HP, it could last at least 20 seconds under the assault of the Arrow Tower.

Li Hanqiang observed its speed and estimated that the monster would soon escape the Arrow Tower’s attack range within those 20 seconds.

Once it flew out of the Arrow Tower’s attack range, the Chaos’ Core would lose 15 Chaotic Energy!

While this would not cause the city defense mission to fail, it was still far from a good thing.

However, there was only one Arrow Tower at that moment and Li Hanqiang could hardly do anything at this point. All he could do was put his hope on Dark Redemption as he yelled at him, “Attack the Old Black Pig!”

“That’s for sure!” Dark Redemption’s response was extremely fast as he started attacking the Flying Old Black Pig with all he had.

The HP indicator on the head of the Flying Old Black Pig began dropping inch by inch, proving the effectiveness of Dark Redemption’s attacks. He could inflict about 5 damage points per hit on the flying pig.

The situation was now much better than what Li Hanqiang had anticipated. The Flying Old Black Pig’s HP indication turned black just before it had left the Arrow Tower’s attack range. Soon after, its body burst open in the air like fireworks and a golden treasure chest appeared, falling directly onto the War Corridor.

At that moment, golden light exploded from Dark Redemption’s body. He had managed to inflict the last hit before the Arrow Tower, thus gaining all the experience from the kill. This gave him another 2 levels and raised him up from Level 4 to Level 6!

“F*ck me, Level 6! The experience from this is really high!” Dark Redemption laughed out loud, unable to contain his happiness.

Fanning Knight at Level 2 was extremely jealous. Everybody had been at the same level in the beginning. Now, the gap between them was extremely huge. However, he soon started to stare at the ground as the treasure chest that had burst out from the Old Black Pig landed near him. The lid of the treasure chest opened automatically to reveal that it was full of gold coins.

“Gold coins, loads of them! They look to be over tens of thousands! We are rich! We are rich! You, you, the City Lord, are we gonna have to share this equally between all of us?” Fanning Knight shouted excitedly. Gold coins were very hard to earn. One could not assume that he was rich simply because he had managed to afford to pay for the ticket to enter the Chaotic City. The money had actually been collected by a bunch of followers as he himself had less than 20 silver coins.

Of course, he had also bought First-Class Star’s ticket to carry the newbie young girl.

Although the treasure chest had landed on the ground, he as an adventurer player could only look at it without touching it. This was because any items dropped by the monsters that attacked the city were owned by the Chaotic City Lord.

Li Hanqiang controlled his thoughts and the treasure chest disappeared into thin air as the gold coins entered into his pockets.

While it looked like there were lots of gold coins in the treasure chest, in reality, there were only 100 pieces. Despite that, it was definitely not a small amount of money. These coins were bound to his account and could only be spent in his Chaotic City. Besides that, the money could also not be traded.

“Where is the treasure chest, why is it gone? Are you who did that? Don’t be so unjust!”

Fanning Knight yelled at Li Hanqiang. Li Hanqiang ignored him and looked at the War Corridor leisurely, occasionally taking control of the Arrow Tower to kill one or two small monsters at his own comfort.

Some moments later, Dark Redemption had reached Level 7. His hands began to hurt from pulling his bow so he shouted at Li Hanqiang, “How many more monsters are there? I can’t do this anymore. I have finished up my Blue Potions1 and can no longer use the Dark Arrows!”

In fact, his MP had already been long exhausted and he had been relying on the Blue Potions to replenish it. However, he had already finished them all at this point. While it was very enjoyable to gain lots of experience, he could do nothing about his consumption of MP.

Li Hanqiang could not give him an answer as this was his first time experiencing monster attacks on the city, so who knew how many beasts there would be?

After exactly five minutes, no more Little Black Pigs appeared from the Space-Time Wormhole. When the last Little Black Pig was shot by the Arrow Tower, the regional announcement sounded.

[Congratulations to the Lord of Chaotic City No. 68 for successfully defending against the first wave of monster attacks. The current battle took 88 minutes, with 10,601 monsters killed. The Chaos’s Core did not lose any Chaotic Energy, so it is determined that this was a perfect city defense. All players that participated in the city defense will receive a reward of maximum experience. Adventurer players that have participated in defending the city will receive contribution points from Chaotic City No. 68. When these contribution points reach a certain amount, adventurer players will receive mysterious privileges.]

After the regional announcement, rays of gold light emitted from the bodies of Li Hanqiang, Dark Redemption, Fanning Knight, and First-Class Star as they leveled up collectively.

Among them, Dark Redemption, Fanning Knight, and First Class Star leveled up by two levels while Li Hanqiang leveled up by three!

However, Li Hanqiang was depressed despite leveling up as his attributes had still not changed. He still only had 100 HP.

Fortunately, a system notification sounded in Li Hanqiang’s ears.

[Congratulations to you for successfully defending the city from the first wave of monster attacks. The job skill ‘Float walking’ is now activated. A piece of Chaotic Stone Slab has been rewarded ( Communicate with the system to establish the location of placement). Extra rewards for successfully defending the city are one Chaotic Stone Slab and a small purse. You can now receive your random award for successfully defending the city through the Chaos’ Core.]

[System notification: Congratulations on successfully defending the city from the first wave of monster attacks. You can communicate with the system to start the second wave of monster attacks at any time. However, please take note that the monsters that attack the city will get stronger and stronger. Once you fail to defend the city, both you and your Chaotic City will suffer huge losses.]

Li Hanqiang’s spirit was raised and he immediately checked his rewards.

－

[Float Walking: Special skill. The Chaotic City Lord has the ability to walk on air. When floating, the movement speed will be slightly lower compared to normal walking on the ground. This skill can be enhanced and upgraded. The player can explore the details by themselves.]

[System notification: You have opened your small purse and received 15 gold coins.]

－

‘Not bad, not bad, Float Walking is not limited to just the Chaotic City. Owning this skill is equivalent to owning the ability to flying and I have also been rewarded with two Chaotic Stone Slabs.’ Li Hanqiang smiled. At that moment, he headed toward the Chaos’ Core. There was another random reward to be collected.

At the same time, a white light shone from Dark Redemption’s body as well as the others. They had already received the system notification that they could be sent away at any moment.

“City Lord, are there any more monsters? Let’s have another wave of monster attack on the city!” Dark Redemption wished to continue.

What was most important in the early stages of the game? It was leveling up!

He was already at Level 9 and this pace of leveling up could not be any faster. Once he leveled up to Level 10, he would be able to learn his second job skill and unlock the free skill bar. With that, his abilities would be greatly improved.

Li Hanqiang nodded. “I will turn it on immediately. Please wait for a few minutes.”

“Okay, I’ll come again when you publish the mission. This is a good time for me to get some Blue Potions.” Dark Redemption’s face was full of joy. He now felt that those not participating in city defense missions were idiots as everyone was only thinking about leveling up but was unwilling to spend money. In their dream! Luckily, he had been smart!

Li Hanqiang looked at Fanning Knight and asked, “Are you coming again? Your weapon is not bad and neither is your attack power. If you come again, I will arrange a better position for you.”

“Bah, I will never come to your ruins again. Like I said before, if I come here again, I would be a dog.” Fanning Knight had anger written all over his face. He was at Level 4 while Dark Redemption was already at Level 9. Comparing himself to the other would result in the death of either.

“Really? What if I refund the money you used to purchase the ticket?” Li Hanqiang asked.

“Really?” Fanning Knight’s eyes lit up. “Then I’ll definitely come!”
