My Chaotic City

After he returned to his old den, Li Hanqiang immediately went online.

His character was still fishing at the Blue Ripple Pond.

When he looked at his Fish Basket, there was only a pile of useless fish. Among them, a majority of them were Green Crap.

'What does this mean? Is there an event going on with Green Carp right now? Why is the system trying to betray me?!"

Li Hanqiang ended his fishing and moved the small rowboat towards the shore.

The two idiots, Fanning Knight and Fiery Blade Sage had been idling there the entire night as neither of them were online yet.

Li Hanqiang looked at the Stats Panel. The Chaotic Energy in the Chaos' Core had only recovered by 5 points.

"I can only blame myself for being too diligent, what should I do now?"

Having relied on his five-minute distributed sleep method, Li Hanqiang was now full of energy and eager to demonstrate his abilities. Unfortunately, there was still too little Chaotic Energy that could be used to change the tower and the Gold Coin Challenge was still on cooldown. It would be far too risky for him to start the fourth wave of monster attacks at the moment. 

After thinking about it, it seemed like he had nothing else to do except fishing.

[Ding, you have received a system email. Are you prepared to look at it now?]

A system notification suddenly rang out.

"System Mail?" Li Hanqiang was slightly curious and immediately opened it.

Dear players:

In order to thank the vast amount of players for their support, the operation team has decided to launch a large-scale event for the entire server.

The first 10,000 players that have reached the top of the level leaderboard in the entire server will receive a large number of bound gold coins and a random professional equipment reward. The tenth-ranked player will get an additional Level 30 professional armor while the first-ranked player will get an extra mysterious gift.

'Huh? There's an actual official competition.' Li Hanqiang's thoughts were suddenly jolted alive.

At that moment, a 'Wolf Howl' sounded out of nowhere, giving Li Hanqiang a fright. He turned around to see Fiery Blade Sage jumping up from the pavilion.

"I caught a treasure, I caught a treasure!" He shouted, with an expression as if he had won a lottery jackpot.

"This guy is finally online." Li Hanqiang quickly asked him, "What treasure?"

Fiery Blade Sage sent a direct message to Li Hanqiang.

—

Bright Green Turtle Shell: Heavy armor, special equipment. Green quality, bright green suit. Can be equipped if player exceeds Level 5.

Hit Points: +500

Physical Defense: +30

Magic resistance: +30

Armor ability: While stagnant, HP is increased by 1000, with 100 magic and physical resistance. When in a leaning-down state, an additional 2000 HP is added.

Description: This equipment is a separate suit and cannot be worn together with other equipment, including weapons.

"I've caught a suit. Look at its attributes, hahahaha! I have the destiny of the emperor!" Fiery Blade Sage shouted as he directly equipped the Bright Green Turtle Shell.

Li Hanqiang was stunned as he looked on. The equipment really was a green turtle shell. Combined with Fiery Blade Sage's own baldness, it seemed to match him perfectly.

"Hahahahaha!"

Fanning knight was also online. When he saw how the ignition swordsman looked, he could not help but laugh out loud. "It's such a peculiar device. This must have been specially made by the system for you, Master Roshi!"

Fiery Blade Master was still ecstatic. "You mortals, don't just look at the appearance, you need to look at its attributes. This is heavy armor. Do you know what heavy armor is? It's high-end armor that can add up to 3500 HP and has added defensive abilities. If I just lean down and remain still, who would be able to kill me!" As soon as he finished talking, he laid down on the ground, appearing like a turtle with a human head.

Li Hanqiang was speechless. "You guys should look and see if you have caught any other valuable things yet."

Fiery Blade Sage shook his head and said, "No, the rest of it is all just useless fish, but I can still sell them for some silver coins."

Fanning Knight looked at his Fish Basket and quickly took out a glass bottle that was shaped like a test tube with a strange look on his face. "I caught 20 useless fish and...this."

He posted up the attributes of the glass bottle for them. Li Hanqiang's eyes lit up as he saw it.

[Small Chaotic Bottle: You can extract Chaotic Energy from the Chaos' Core and store it. You can also add Chaotic Energy into the Chaos' Core. The current capacity of Chaotic Energy stored is 100/100.]

"This is an exclusive item meant for the Chaotic City Lord. You have earned a good one, Fanning Knight. Give me this Chaotic Bottle and the gold coins you owe me will be waived!" Li Hanqiang rubbed his hands. He had just been worrying earlier today about not having any Chaotic Energy.

Fanning Knight however, puffed out his chest and said: "Hand me the Phantom Charged Skill Book first!"

Li Hanqiang simply slapped the Phantom Charged Skill Book at his face. "Would I, as the City Lord, dare to take advantage of you?"

Fiery Blade Sage laughed and said: "City Lord, please check how much money I can pawn my turtle shell for. I would like to borrow some more!"

"Sorry, you can just wear that turtle shell. I will not accept it!"

Li Hanqiang held onto the Small Chaotic Bottle as his mind was filled with thoughts of changing his towers now. How could he pay any attention right now to the two idiots in front of him?

"Let's go!"

He activated his Float Walking and left the Blue Ripple Pond.

With the rewards he obtained from the Gold Coin Challenge together with the sales of unwanted fish, Li Hanqiang's assets now exceeded 104 gold coins. This meant it was now possible for him to buy another basic Defensive Tower.

"I want to change two towers in a row. Come on, please change into two Sword Towers for me!"

It only took five minutes for him to fill the Chaos' Core using the Small Chaotic Bottle, buy the drawings from the Defensive Tower Shop, and build the Basic Arrow Tower on the Chaotic Stone Slab...

He then stood next to the two Basic Arrow Towers and put on the most handsome pose he could think of as he used his passive skill, Change Tower.

[System notification: Dear Chaotic City Lord, you have used the passive skill, Change Tower, on the Basic Arrow Tower. The Defensive Tower will now mutate. The mutation is in progress…]

"Ding, the Defensive Tower mutation failed. The current Defensive Tower will be destroyed!"

A loud bang sounded.

Li Hanqiang was stunned as the Basic Arrow Tower next to him suddenly collapsed and turned into a huge ray of light. After a few blinks, it completely disappeared.

"F*ck your uncle, is it because I don't look handsome today!" Li Hanqiang felt his loss as he vomited blood. Making up his mind, he used his Change Tower skill on the other Basic Arrow Tower.

"I don't believe that with my face, I will fail twice in a row!" Li Hanqiang looked at the other Basic Arrow Tower with anticipation.

However...

"Ding, the Defensive Tower's mutation failed, the current Defensive Tower will be destroyed!"

Boom, the Basic Arrow Tower disappeared in an instant.

"F*ck me, F*ck me, F*ck, F*ck, F*ck me!" Li Hanqiang started to jump up and down. This was really a great loss. Two Basic Arrow Towers and 20 Chaotic Energy were used up for nothing.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing!" Li Hanqiang felt like he was in pain until his eyes chanced upon the Sword Tower uncontrollably.

'Should I try again? It's impossible that I would fail three times in a row, right?' He said silently, unable to control his manic heart.

'The mutated Arrow Tower can be changed again, but that is a Sword Tower. A Sword Tower is much more powerful than a Basic Arrow Tower. If the mutation fails... No, I must hold back, hold back from using this rubbish passive skill!" Li Hanqiang was very distraught internally that when he glanced around again, he noticed the Huntsman's Trap.

The Huntsman's Trap was also a Level 1 Defensive Tower, according to the system's identification.

Li Hanqiang struggled fiercely in his heart."Let's change it again?"
