"I know this building. It was our building when we entered the Tower Defense 40 years ago!"
The leader's agitated voice reached everyone's ears.
Everyone was shocked.
What kind of joke was this?
They suddenly recalled the rules of the Tower Defense.
Please pay attention to resisting the invasion of the beasts and other countries!
This meant that their worlds were connected!
But why was the old Tower Defense city still there?
"If I remember correctly, it was this Tower Defense battle 40 years ago that allowed our country to enter the ranks of superpowers!"
The leader said in a deep voice.
Excited, he picked up the teacup with trembling hands and took a small sip.
He did not expect to see the previous Tower Defense city in his lifetime.
This was simply unbelievable.
The image moved as Pierce walked into the building.
All kinds of weapons were placed neatly in the ruined courtyard.
The bloodstains on the ground were very conspicuous. Looking at the dried up state, it seemed like it had been many years.
The layout stunned Pierce.
Because this place was exactly the same as the interior of the city he lived in.
This meant that this was once a Tower Defense city.
Just as Pierce was about to look for anything useful, the golden hint entered his sight again.
[Go to the center of the hall and lift the tile on the third column on the left. There is something very big hidden underneath.]
Following the hint, he walked step by step into the hall and arrived at the location indicated by the system.
Pierce wiped the dirt off the floor with his hand, revealing a protruding floor tile.
He lifted the tile. There was a shiny golden box hidden in the huge space.
The box was engraved with all sorts of golden patterns, making it look very dazzling.
The scan result from the Tower Defense appeared.
[Golden Lifeform Treasure Chest]
[Quality: Gold]
[Remarks: There seems to be something valuable hidden in this shiny treasure chest, but I suggest you open it when you return to the city.]
Pierce checked the treasure chest and put it inside his backpack.
In the conference room in Country M.
The leader saw Pierce dig a shiny golden box out of the floor. He was stunned.
He saw that the people around him were also looking at him in confusion, hoping that he could answer what exactly this box was.
But the problem was that he did not know either!
"Don't look at me. I don't know what's inside the box either!"
"I didn't even know there was a golden box in our city."
"This is unbelievable!"
Inside the Tower Defense world, the sky had already begun to turn dark. The darkness once again enveloped the silent land.
Pierce checked the time and decided it was time to return to his city.
The irregular schedule these past few days had really made him a little numb.
Back in his city.
Pierce took the golden treasure chest from his backpack and placed it on the table.
Looking at the treasure chest, there seemed to be no lock or password.
He opened the box. With a flash of golden light, the contents of the box appeared before him.
They were some unknown seeds.
Pierce didn't know what they were for. He grabbed a handful and looked at them. Then the hint appeared again.
[These seeds seem to be of great help to you. Why don't you plant them in front of the city gate?]
Pierce put away the seeds without hesitation and prepared to plant it in front of the city gate tomorrow morning.
After all, he had relied on the hint system to survive these few times.
The next morning.
After spending 50 Tower Defense Points to exchange for a sumptuous breakfast, Pierce brought the griffin to the city gate to continue arranging traps.
Most of the traps in those deep pits had already been stepped on by the skeleton undead, so he decided to dig deeper this time as a precaution against aberrations.
After half an hour, they finished digging the holes.
Pierce planted two rows of seeds in front of the gate.
They were the gold quality seeds that he had obtained from opening the treasure chest yesterday.
Since it was gold quality, it was definitely something good.
In the world channel.
Many participants, like Pierce, started to venture out to find something.
However, most of them hadn't even left the gate when they were blocked by a large group of level one creatures.
Many of them cursed angrily.
Why don't you bunch of dogs stop Pierce from Country M? Why are you insisting on blocking our entrance and shouting?
Pierce smiled when he saw the complaints from the players.
It seemed like it was because of the difference in terrains.
He had been compensated by Tower Defense Survival for being the only participant from his country, and was allowed to choose his city location.
Otherwise, he would be devoured by the monsters in the desert.
Time passed. Just like that, Pierce gathered resources and set up the walls.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the countdown.
Tomorrow night was the next round of monster invasion.
According to the golden hint, Pierce's seeds would mature completely tomorrow.
Pierce found the seeds oddly familiar.
However, he did not think too much about it.
Now he had 20 elemental arrow towers.
Most of them were exchanged from other countries through the Tower Defense points.
Of course, at the same time, he also gave them some information regarding the aberrations.
The two sides could be considered to have made an equivalent exchange.
Pierce checked Griffin's stats panel again.
[Elemental Griffin]
[Level: 4]
[Growth Potential: Level 6]
[Remarks: Don't underestimate the griffin because of its small size. You never know how terrifying a level 4 creature can be when it's angry!]
Terrifying?
Pierce knocked on the griffin's head.
Roar!
Tears rolled down the griffin's watery blue eyes from the pain. It seemed to be very angry, but it did not dare to retaliate.
Pierce chuckled at the griffin's cute expression.
But then, he became worried.
His seedlings would grow tomorrow.
But could he defend with just 20 elemental arrow towers?
At this moment, there was only one more day before the monsters invaded…
[Time until the next invasion: 25 hours 36 minutes 45 seconds!]
Within the four days, Pierce had prepared all the defensive measures.
Now… let them come.
