"Kid, what's with that look in your eyes?" Black Turtle said angrily. "I'm doing this for your benefit. The credit goes to you, and I'll take the blame. You're still not happy?"
John plastered on a smile and bowed slightly. "Of course, senior. Your generosity is unparalleled!"
"Hmph!" Black Turtle snorted, turning his attention to the soldiers on the city wall. He frowned and said, "Kid, you don't really think you can rely on these adventurers to hold off the monster tide, do you?"
"Aren't you here, senior?" John knew that the current adventurers couldn't withstand the monster tide from the Dark Forest.
The monsters in the Dark Forest were powerful, with some even as strong as Black Turtle at the seventh tier.
However, the most terrifying monsters were deep within the forest and wouldn't interfere with John's city-building efforts.
[Announcement: The monster tide will arrive in five minutes.]
