My Chaotic City

Chapter 058 A Gamer Driven by Interest

"You can rob a handcart, you can rob a governor, so you can definitely rob a void airship!"

Li Hanqiang thought to himself silently.

He is not a professional gamer, nor a contracted member of an online game guild. He has no ambition or aspiration to achieve anything through the Endless World, nor does he have any thoughts of making a lot of money, realizing his life's value, or reaching the pinnacle of life through the Endless World.

He has plenty of money and a leisurely life; he's just a pure gamer who plays online games out of interest.

Therefore, Li Hanqiang is very uninhibited no matter what online game he plays. Sometimes he inevitably makes some seemingly irrational decisions, such as ignoring game guides, insisting on adding useless skills, playing melee as a mage, or engaging in head-on combat as a rogue. Games are just for fun, there's no need to be too rigid, just play however you want.

He has the same mentality now. Back then, he dared to choose the city lord's talent randomly. He was willing to bombard his city in the third month of spring with a single rocket. Even if the city was attacked, he was prepared to start over. Now, he wouldn't be bothered by the choice of faction.

"I've made up my mind!" Li Hanqiang clapped his hands. "I'm going to be a Chaos City Lord without any faction! No, I'm going to be a free-spirited, factionless pirate. That's more interesting! That's my style, Li Hanqiang! It's so boring to be stuck with so many players and following different factions!"

Having made this decision, Li Hanqiang suddenly felt that the sky was high and the sea was wide, and the door to a new world no longer needed to be closed.

He stood up, waved his hand, and shouted, "Men, get to work on the tower!"

The group of little demons who had previously helped the little monk Huixin inscribe the magic array immediately responded. They ran to the defensive towers and, as if by magic, suddenly produced various tools: sledgehammers, hammers, planks, stones, etc. Then they climbed up and down and began to smash the Flame Tower, Sword Tower, and the Tower of Open and Hidden Arrows.

This is the power of the [Tower Repair] technology.

The defensive towers were visibly restored to their original condition very quickly.

Meanwhile, the gold coins in the Chaos Treasury began to decrease little by little.

Li Hanqiang realized that this Chaos Treasury was also an important building, so he took out 10 gold coins and deposited them inside, saying to the governor Huixin, "Little monk, from now on, you'll be in charge of our family's gold coins!"

The young monk Huixin nodded: "This is within my duty, Lord City Lord, you can rest assured."

Li Hanqiang then asked, "What other abilities do you have?"

Huixin nodded and said, "Once I reach level 5, I will obtain an exclusive item, the [Governance Codex]. With this codex, I can better manage Chaos City, such as restricting adventurers' entry and exit, setting up a blacklist for those who refuse teleportation, allocating troops, issuing quests to adventurers, and so on. Even if the City Lord is not in Chaos City, I can still manage it well. In addition, once I reach level 10, I can oversee the construction of barracks!"

"Alright, alright, looks like I'll have to help you level up properly." Li Hanqiang thought to himself that this governor's rank was even more important than his own as the city lord, and he even had exclusive items, so his power was really considerable.

"That's fine too. With the governor in charge, I, the city lord, can finally slack off."

Li Hanqiang thought to himself silently.

A moment later, the group of little demons finished their work, and the defensive towers looked brand new.

Li Hanqiang discovered that less than five gold coins had been lost from the Chaos Treasury, and couldn't help but marvel at how cheap it was to repair the tower.

"Launching a siege in the third month of spring only caused me this little loss." Li Hanqiang smiled slightly, and with a thought, he launched the tenth wave of monster attacks.

This is a BOSS level. To prevent further harassment, Li Han ordered a group of lesser demons to occupy the stone slabs.

To be on the safe side, he also gritted his teeth and spent 200 gold coins to buy a blueprint for a basic slowing tower. As a result, Li Hanqiang became penniless again.

The basic slow tower, once built, is ten meters tall, like an icicle. It has very low attack power, but it can slow down a single target by 25%, making it very necessary for defending against bosses.

Governor Huixin was also placed on a Chaos Stone Slab by Li Hanqiang. This little monk was timid by nature. Even though he knew that being on the Chaos Stone Slab would be extremely safe, he still shrank to the back of the slab, just like the little demon. He even looked at Li Hanqiang with a wronged expression and said, "This humble monk thinks that I can still get experience even if I don't go on the stone slab."

"You think it's useless, but I think it's useful. Prepare to face the siege monsters!"

With a thought, Li Hanqiang immediately ended his preparations, and the spacetime wormhole rapidly expanded...

At this moment, Dark Night Redemption, Fan Knight, and Ignition Sword Saint had already formed a team and entered the world dungeon [Burning Ruins].

This [Burning Dungeon] is the first world dungeon, allowing twenty players to team up across cities, and it is extremely difficult.

Before Dark Redemption, I led a team to explore the new content. The team was well-equipped, but they couldn't even defeat the first boss.

This time, the Fan Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint replaced the original tank and warrior in the team. The two of them were lying on the ground, covered by bright green turtle shells, wedged into a gap in the terrain, and allowed a black monster the size of a rhinoceros to attack them.

The black monster had three heads and three tails, flames spewing from its mouth, and roared repeatedly. It was the number one boss in the [Burning Ruins], the [Flame Demon Three-Headed Tiger], level 20, with a whopping 10000 health points.

"This BOSS is really powerful! How could an ordinary person possibly withstand it! Luckily, I have high HP and good skills. Healer, quickly heal me!" Fan Knight shouted, remaining motionless no matter how the BOSS attacked him.

The Ignition Sword Saint remained unmoved, saying, "Faced with my god-like skills, even the strongest BOSS will have to fall!"

Dark Night Redemption led a group of players in a frenzied attack from behind.

The players secretly admired Night Redemption. Where did they find these two geniuses? They were an amazing duo, lying motionless on the ground with their green turtle shells on their heads, spouting endless witty remarks.

They're not even level 20 yet, but their health is incredibly high and their defense is incredibly strong. Who would believe they could actually withstand the attacks of the three-headed tiger? Now they're blocking the terrain gap, preventing the three-headed tiger from getting through, making ranged attacks incredibly easy.

"Focus on the attack! All the major guilds are vying for the first kill of the BOSS. With Turtle Heroes helping us, we have a chance. Hurry up..." Dark Night Redemption shouted.

Just then, a server-wide announcement suddenly rang out: "Tianhe Guild achieves first kill of the Burning Ruins' first BOSS, the Flame Demon Three-Headed Tiger. Congratulations to players Tianhe Emperor, Tianhe Falling Snow, Tianhe Thunderclap, and Tianhe Shepherd of Kun..."

A series of player nicknames appeared on the announcement, which immediately dealt a heavy blow to Dark Night Redemption and others.

"It's been announced at the Tianhe Guild!"

"This world dungeon is definitely still the domain of the big guilds!"

"Yeah, all the big guilds are definitely competing to see who clears the dungeon first!"

"If only these two heroes, the man and the turtle, had arrived sooner. It's a pity they missed a chance to be featured on the server-wide announcement..."

Everyone sighed in disappointment. Dark Night Redemption also felt a pang of regret, but said, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. There will definitely be other bosses to come, and we'll still have a chance to be featured on the server-wide announcement..."

Li Hanqiang, standing in mid-air, also heard the server-wide announcement. He frowned and whispered, "Burning Ruins? Three-Headed Tiger of the Flame Demon?"

He had some doubts, because the BOSS level he had unlocked was also related to the Burning Ruins and the Three-Headed Tiger of the Flame Demon.

"System Prompt: Boss stage activated. Select the Burning Ruins world dungeon boss as the siege monster. The first phase boss is the Three-Headed Fire Demon Tiger, which will join the battlefield in 5 minutes. The current phase of the siege monsters consists of LV20 Fire Demon Tigers, numbering one thousand, including ten elite Fire Demon Tigers!"
