Chapter 18: Either Don't Do It, or Do It Absolutely
Liu Huasheng led Tom Cruise away from the highlands.
He didn't know where the donkey was trapped, and the dumbest way was to search for it from one hill to another.
A moment later, Liu Huasheng arrived at Hua Xiaolan's territory.
Upon reaching the high ground, Liu Huasheng saw a small castle with five pointed roofs, which was none other than Hua Xiaolan's Chaos City, clearly incorporating four basic arrow towers.
In addition, there are four basic arrow towers and a section of city wall only five meters long in front of it!
But something strange happened behind the castle; Liu Huasheng saw a logging camp!
The logging camps were packed tightly together, completely surrounding the gold mine!
Further away, some migrant workers are logging!
"What kind of tactic is this, building a logging camp like this?"
Liu Huasheng felt a surge of curiosity.
After observing carefully for a while, Liu Huasheng said to Tom Cruise, "You wait here for me, I'll go ahead and scout things out!"
After saying this, Liu Huasheng put on his bulletproof armor and strode towards Hua Xiaolan's Chaos City.
Soon, basic arrow towers launched an attack on Liu Huasheng.
With a clang, the arrow struck Liu Huasheng, but failed to penetrate his bulletproof armor and bounced off to the ground.
Two words appeared above Liu Huasheng's head: "Exemption!"
"Bulletproof armor is awesome!"
Liu Huasheng shouted loudly. At first he was a little nervous, but now he laughed and relaxed. He strode forward with great strides!
The reason Liu Huasheng dared to openly step forward was, of course, because of his bulletproof armor.
The bulletproof armor can negate ten points of damage, and the basic arrow tower's attack power is exactly ten points. Theoretically, the basic arrow tower should be unable to damage Liu Huasheng, who is wearing bulletproof armor.
The same is true!
Soon, the eight basic arrow towers launched a concentrated attack on Liu Huasheng, but they could only manage to inflict the word "exemption" on him.
"Bulletproof armor is truly divine armor; with this armor on, where in the world can't one go?"
Liu Huasheng relaxed more and more. He went straight to the entrance of Chaos City, trying to squeeze into the city, but he couldn't. The light screen at the entrance could recognize his identity and prevent him from passing through.
Unable to enter the city, Liu Huasheng went around to the back, towards the gold mine, and began calling out, "Afu, Afu, are you there?"
After shouting for a while without receiving any response, just as he was about to leave, a roaring sound suddenly came from the direction of the gold mine.
"Haha, I'm Wang Shuaibo, and is that my older brother Liu Hua outside?"
"Hmm?" Liu Huasheng frowned upon hearing this, then suddenly realized what was happening and called out across the logging camp towards the gold mine, "Wang Shuaibo? Are you in there?"
"Mmm!"
What are you playing?
"I accidentally stumbled upon a gold mine!"
"Did they turn your gold mine into a prison?"
Liu Washington then understood why this logging camp was built this way.
"Did my older brother come to rescue me?"
"Yes! You are one of my top generals, if I don't save you, who will I save? Please wait here!"
After saying this, Liu Huasheng turned around and went back.
He can't save Wang Shuaibo because he has no offensive capabilities and can't demolish buildings.
However, Liu Huasheng is no longer alone; he has another formidable general.
"Tom, I'm lending you this bulletproof armor for now. Wear it, go to the back and dismantle a logging camp. Be quick!"
Liu Huasheng gave Tom Cruise a few instructions and then used the fashion function to dress him up.
"For the Holy Light!"
Tom Cruise only has this one line, but he's incredibly reliable. After donning body armor, he jogged around the castle, braving the combined fire of eight basic arrow towers, and wielded his bright silver hammer to attack the lumberyard.
"-7.5!"
"-7.5!"
"-7.5..."
Tom Cruise dealt damage to the lumberyard. He has 15 attack power, but buildings have a natural 50% damage reduction effect, so his attack only reduced the lumberyard's durability by 7.5.
The lumberyard has 1200 durability points. Theoretically, Tom Cruise could destroy it by attacking it 160 times in a row!
Seeing the durability of a logging camp ahead rapidly decreasing, Wang Shuaibo was excited and shouted, "Who's that big brother outside? Destroying a logging camp while holding off arrow towers! That's amazing! Once I'm free, I'll definitely repay him!"
"For the Holy Light!"
Tom Cruise responded loudly.
Meanwhile, Hua Xiaolan, who was still helping Ma Xianlong dismantle the castle, had a drastic change in expression.
The moment Tom Cruise attacked the lumberyard, Hua Xiaolan's game assistant broadcast a system notification that someone had invaded the city. The black horse, now frantic, roared, "Master, something's wrong! Someone's attacking the city!"
"Who are they? They're launching a sneak attack! Do they also have siege engines?" Hua Xiaolan looked at Ma Xianlong with pleading eyes.
Ma Xianlong said, "Miss Hua, don't panic. I'll come to help you after I've demolished this castle!"
"But that will take a long time! Can't you leave the catapults and dismantle them slowly?"
"Leave only the catapults?"
How can that be?
Ma Xianlong shook his head!
He's not the only one paying attention to Guan Zhengxing's territory.
Guan Zhengxing is not a concern, but the lord next door is doing well and has troops under his command. What if he comes with his troops after I leave, dismantles my catapults, and steals the spoils of victory?
In Ma Xianlong's mind, the only way to be proper was to demolish Guan Zhengxing's castle in one fell swoop and then build two defensive towers there.
Hua Xiaolan alone is not enough to make Ma Xianlong lose his mind. In fact, Ma Xianlong thinks that he should make this woman lose her temper so that he can control her. It's good that someone has invaded her territory!
Hua Xiaolan schemed against Ma Xianlong, intending to turn him into a sycophant, but Ma Xianlong also had his own ideas. He wanted a woman who would obey him in everything, not someone who would serve him in every way.
"But, but..."
Hua Xiaolan wanted to continue persuading him, but Ma Xianlong quickly waved his hand and said, "Miss Hua, don't you trust me? I said I would help you, and I definitely will! Dazhuang, show Miss Hua your axe skills!"
"yes!"
The bald, burly man next to him bowed and nodded, flexing his muscles before taking two short axes from his waist and hacking at the air with a series of "humphs."
"Silly..."
Hua Xiaolan cursed inwardly, but forced a smile onto her face.
At that very moment, behind his Chaos City, Tom Cruise swung his hammer, and the ten-meter-high, box-like logging camp collapsed with a deafening roar. The fragments quickly turned into white light, and the tightly sealed gold mine was finally breached.
"Thank you, big brother, for saving me!"
Wang Shuaibo excitedly rushed out from inside.
He saw Tom Cruise, who was wearing bulletproof armor and standing firm against the attacks of eight basic arrow towers, and immediately bowed and scraped as he approached him. He could tell that Tom Cruise was a B-class hero. He thought to himself that his boss, who sold dried rats, was indeed extraordinary, as he actually had such a powerful hero.
Tom Cruise completed his mission and headed back without saying a word.
Wang Shuaibo glanced at the few migrant workers gathering timber in the distance, then said, "Brother, you go ahead with your work. I'll go and bite those migrant workers to death!"
Tom Cruise ignored him and went straight to Liu Huasheng. Seeing that he was unharmed, Liu Huasheng laughed and said, "Since things have come to this, Tom Cruise, go and dismantle those four arrow towers too!"
In Liu Huasheng's view, if there is a tower that can be demolished, it should be demolished to weaken the opponent's strength. It is only right and proper. They are all on a small map. Either do nothing or do it ruthlessly. Thinking about peaceful coexistence is just being soft-hearted. Being timid and hesitant will surely lead to failure!
Ten minutes later, Tom Cruise destroyed four basic arrow towers. With his attack power, destroying a basic arrow tower would actually only take two or three minutes.
To Liu Huasheng's surprise, when the fourth basic arrow tower disappeared in the light, Tom Cruise's body flashed with golden light and he actually leveled up to LV2, with his attribute data doubling!
