My Chaotic City

“A small wheelbarrow can be stolen, Chief Officers can be stolen, therefore a void airship can also surely be stolen!”

Li Hanqiang thought to himself.

He was not a professional player and did not sign up as a member of any Gaming Team. He did not have any ambitions that he intended to achieve through Endless World, and neither did he intend to make big money through Endless World to achieve the philosophies of self-actualization and attain the highest peak of human existence.

He did not lack money and lived a comfortable and leisurely life. He was purely a gamer, playing games only out of interest.

Therefore, Li Hanqiang was always very casual regardless of the game. At times, it was inevitable that he would make a few unwise decisions such as not paying any attention to the game’s strategy or putting points into useless skills. He would also, at times, pull shenanigans like using a magician in melee or a robber in open combat. It was just a game. As long as he was happy, there was no need to be too set in one’s ways. One just needed to play as they felt like it.

That was his mindset now. He even dared to leave it to luck when he chose a Passive Skill for the Chaotic City Lord. He dared to launch the rocket at Chun Sanyue’s city and when his city was under attack, he was prepared to start from scratch. Why would he worry about which camp to join now?

“I’ve decided!” Li Hanqiang clapped his hands. “I will become a Chaotic City Lord without a camp! No, I want to be a free and independent campless pirate. This is the only way as this is who Li Hanqiang is! How boring would it be to mingle in a camp with so many other players!”

Having made the decision, Li Hanqiang suddenly felt that his horizons had broadened and the door to a whole new world would no longer be closed.

He stood and waved his hand while yelling, “Boys, go and repair the towers!”

The little gremlins who were helping young monk Huixin draw the summoning circle immediately responded. They ran to the Defensive Towers and comically began to pull out various tools. Sledgehammers, hammers, planks, stone slabs… The little gremlins began to climb up and down, hammering away at the Fire Towers, Sword Towers, and Bright Lance Dark Arrow Towers.

This was the power of the Defensive Tower Repair technology.

The Defensive Towers were visibly and rapidly being restored to brand new.

Similarly, the gold coins in the Chaotic Treasury began to slowly diminish.

Li Hanqiang figured that the Chaotic Treasury was also a very important building. Therefore, he withdrew ten gold coins for himself and turned to Chief Officer Huixin. “Little Monk, in the future, you will be in charge of the gold coins!”

Young monk Huixin nodded. “That is one of the responsibilities of my position. You may rest easy, My Lord.”

Li Hanqiang continued, “What else are you able to do?”

Huixin nodded and said, “When I have attained Level 5, I can gain a special tool called Administration Code. With this book, I can manage the Chaotic City better, such as controlling the coming and goings of adventurers by creating a blacklist that automatically denies travel requests. I can also manage military might, issue quests to adventurers, and more. If My Lord is not in the city, I can still manage the Chaotic City well. Furthermore, when I reach Level 10, I can oversee the building and repair of military camps!”

“Very good, very good. It looks like I’ll need to make sure you level up.” Li Hanqiang thought to himself that these Chief Officers’ levels were basically even more important than his as a Chaotic City Lord. There was even a unique tool with significant powers.

“This is good as well. With a Chief Officer, I can take it easy as a City Lord.”

Li Hanqiang thought to himself.

A moment later, the mob of little gremlins had finished their job and the Defensive Towers all looked as good as new.

Li Hanqiang noticed that the Chaotic Treasury had only lost less than 5 gold coins and could not help but celebrate the fact that repairing towers was cheap.

“Chun Sanyue launched an attack on the city and could only do that much loss to me.” Li Hanqiang smirked and with a thought, he initiated the tenth wave of monster attacks.

This wave was a BOSS stage. In order to prevent others from interfering again, Li Hanqiang stationed a mob of little gremlins to occupy the Stone Slabs.

For the sake of safety, he even spent 200 gold coins to buy a Basic Slowing Tower Construction Blueprint. Through this, Li Hanqiang was destitute again.

The Basic Slowing Tower when constructed was ten meters tall and looked like an icicle. It had very low attack damage but could slow a single target by 25%. It was very important when defending against a BOSS.

Chief Officer Huixin was also assigned to a Chaotic Stone Slab by Li Hanqiang. The young monk had a very timid personality and even though he clearly knew that he was extremely safe on the Chaotic Stone Slab, he still shrank away to the very back of the slab. Just like a little gremlin, he spoke to Li Hanqiang with a very pained face, “I think I can still gain experience without being on the Stone Slab.”

“You think it’s useless but I don’t think it is. Prepare to face the monsters!”

Li Hanqiang immediately ended the preparation phase and the Space-Time Wormhole began to rapidly expand…

At the same time, Dark Redemption, Fanning Knight, and Fiery Blade Sage had already formed a party and entered the Burning Wastes global event.

This Burning Event was the first Global Event and allowed for up to 20 adventurer players to form a party as it was extremely difficult.

Dark Redemption had previously led a party to attempt it and the team was already considered fairly well-equipped. However, they could not even defeat the first boss.

This time, Fanning Knight and Fiery Blade Sage had swapped out with the group’s original tanks. The both of them were currently lying on the ground, hiding behind their Bright Green Turtle Shells as they blocked a gap in the terrain, allowing a black monster the size of a rhinoceros to attack them.

The monster had three heads and three tails while spitting sparks out of its mouth. It constantly hissed like a tiger. This was the first boss of the Burning Wastes, Infernal Three-Headed Tiger. It was at Level 20 with 10,000 HP.

“This boss is really strong. How can normal people fight against it! It’s a good thing I have a lot of HP and know how to play the game. Healers, quickly heal me!” Fanning Knight yelled, refusing to move no matter how the BOSS attacked.

Fiery Blade Sage similarly did not budge and said, “With my god-tier plays, this boss will fall no matter how strong he is!”

Dark Redemption led the rest of the players to the rear in a desperate, all-out assault.

The other players were all in silent awe of Dark Redemption. Where did he find these two gods? They were just two stooges who lay on the ground with their Bright Green Turtle Shells on their backs. They did not move and continuously spoke nonsense.

They were not yet Level 20 but their HP was really high and they had a very high defense. Who would dare to believe that they could hold off the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger’s attacks? Right now, they were blocking a gap in the terrain and the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger could not pass by them. Their ability to keep it at bay was truly very comforting.

“Focus on attacking. Right now, all the big guilds are fighting for the honor of being the first to kill the boss. With these two human turtles helping us, we have a chance. Take hold of it…” Dark Redemption yelled.

At this time, a universal notification suddenly sounded.

[The Tianhe Guild has become the first to kill the first Boss of Burning Wastes, Infernal Three-Headed Tiger. Congratulations to players Tianhe Emperor, Tianhe Bird Tamer…]

A chain of adventurer player nicknames came out on the notification and this dealt a serious blow to Dark Redemption and the others.

“The Tianhe Guild has appeared on the announcement!”

“This global event is still the territory of the big guilds!”

“Yeah, those big guilds definitely have it easier. It’s now a question of who clears it first!”

“If these two human turtles came earlier then it would be great. It’s too bad we missed the chance to be on the universal notification…”

All of them continued to lament and Dark Redemption did feel like it was a shame but he replied, “Don’t be discouraged. There are more Bosses to come and we still have the chance to get onto the universal notification…”

At this time, Li Hanqiang was floating in the air as he too heard the universal notification. He frowned and spoke softly, “Burning Wastes? Infernal Three-Headed Tiger?”

He had some doubts in his mind because he had just initiated a Boss stage. It also had something to do with the Burning Wastes and the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger.

[System Notification: BOSS stage has begun. The Burning Wastes Boss, Infernal Three-Headed TIger, has been chosen as the monster attacking the city. The first stage BOSS is the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger and will enter the battlefield in five minutes. Current attacking monster will be 1,000 Level 20 Infernal Three-Headed Tigers. Within them will be ten elite level Infernal Tigers!]
