Tower Defense Lord from Earth

Chapter 29 Discovering the Relic Shop

"Metaphysics? Pig farm?"

Liu Huasheng finally realized what his secret realm was.

"It's actually a pig farm. Can pigs really be raised here?"

Liu Huasheng had no idea how to raise pigs, let alone how to raise pigs using mystical methods.

Just then, Donkey Afu made another discovery and shouted, "Master, come quickly! We've discovered new ancient ruins!"

Seeing it standing next to the pile of rubble, Liu Huasheng couldn't help but sigh and said, "Stop messing around, Afu. That's obviously just a propaganda wall. This pig farm is really weird. Why put up so many propaganda walls?"

Despite saying this, Liu Huasheng still walked over. He looked at the pile of rubble and found that restoring this ancient site would require not only 200 gold coins but also 200 wood.

"Need timber? Isn't it just a propaganda wall now? Then let's take another gamble! Whether it's a propaganda wall or not, I'm not spending any more money today!"

With a thought, Liu Huasheng deducted two hundred gold coins and two hundred wood points, and the pile of rubble was still transformed into a white wall!

However, the white wall no longer displays promotional slogans, but rather an introduction to the mystical pig farm.

"The Mystic Pig Farm is a low-level version of the Mystic Pig City. It emphasizes mystical pig farming and is equipped with an octagonal pigpen, a Pig King Hall, a Divine Pig Altar, and a Fortune Slaughterhouse. It is connected to Chaos City and can raise pigs from the earth's pig veins. It has three major functions: producing resources, cultivating combat power, and gathering fortune..."

"【Eight Trigrams Pigpen】: One of the core buildings of the pig farm, constructed according to the profound principles of the Eight Trigrams. It can gather evil energy, and piglets feed on this energy, resulting in a 1000% increase in growth rate and a 50% increase in mutation rate. It can house up to 64 pigs!"

"【Pig King's Palace】: One of the core buildings of the pig farm. The farm manager can hold a metaphysical ceremony here to crown the Pig King. High-level spirit pigs become Pig Kings through this metaphysical ceremony. Once in place, the Pig King can suppress evil energy and increase the fortune of the pig farm and Chaos City!"

"【Divine Pig Altar】: One of the core buildings of the pig farm. The farm manager can hold a mystical ritual to worship the pigs, offering grain and Chaos Stones. This will increase the loyalty of the pigs in the farm, trigger evolution or mutation, and temporarily boost the fortune of the entire city!"

"【Qi Luck Slaughterhouse】: One of the core buildings of the pig farm, where the farm manager can perform metaphysical rituals to slaughter pigs with Qi Luck. Slaughtering pigs will not damage Qi Luck, and various resources such as pork will be obtained..."

Liu Huasheng read the information on the propaganda wall several times, feeling as if he had opened the door to a new world.

"This is outrageous! Am I the farm manager? And I'm supposed to be holding some kind of mystical ritual here? There's even a 'pig vein' in the earth, and a pig farm is somehow connected to the entire city's fortune..."

Liu Huasheng realized that among these ancient ruins, there must be four buildings that could be restored: the Bagua Pigpen, the Pig King Hall, the Divine Pig Altar, and the Qiyun Slaughterhouse. He estimated that the restoration cost would definitely be higher than that of the propaganda wall.

But the key question is, even if the pig farm is built, where will we get the piglets to raise?

"A pig farm is all about the pigs. Without piglets, it's just an empty shell. What's the point of building anything now?"

Liu Huasheng shook his head. The metaphysical pig farm seemed powerful, but without piglets, it was all just empty talk. He would not spend any more resources to repair the buildings until he found piglets to raise.

Of course, we still need to explore.

Liu Huasheng and his donkey Afu wandered around the metaphysical pig farm until the next morning, discovering 13 more ancient ruins, nine of which were small piles of rubble, and the cost of restoration was not high.

The other four are large piles of rubble, and the repair cost for each is 10,000 gold coins plus 10,000 wood.

Liu Huasheng estimated that the four large piles of rubble were the core buildings, and even if he wanted to repair them now, he didn't have the capability.

Liu Huasheng didn't rest. After washing up briefly at his residence, he went to Dadi Noodle Shop for breakfast. There, he saw Tom Cruise, Immortal River, and Ice Mayfly Guan Zhengxing.

Upon seeing Liu Huasheng, Guan Zhengxing excitedly flew over and said, "Boss, I'm so glad to finally see you! I've completely explored the northeastern part of Lostanp and discovered an artifact shop and a gold mine. Both places are guarded by monsters. Should we send troops to attack?"

"Found an artifact shop and a gold mine? Well done, you've worked hard!" Liu Huasheng looked Guan Zhengxing up and down curiously, then asked, "Um, little brother Xing, by the way, can you eat ramen too?"

Guan Zhengxing landed on the ground, folded his wings, and looked like a skeletal dog. He nodded and said, "Sure! This ramen is pretty good; I can eat two big bowls in one meal!"

"Awesome!" Liu Huasheng sat down at a table, opened the strategic map, and found that the map had been updated. At the one o'clock position on the map, the relic shop was marked, and in the upper left corner of the map, the gold mine was marked.

These two locations are also marked with yellow dots, indicating that there are monster strongholds, but the monsters are not very strong.

"Guan Zhengxing runs the map, and my strategy map can also be updated. This is a great feature!"

Liu Huasheng beckoned Guan Zhengxing over, and the two compared the strategic map and discussed it for a while.

Guan Zhengxing told Liu Huasheng in detail about the monsters in the relic shop and the gold mine in the northeast corner. Liu Huasheng felt that with the current strength of the troops and the help of the ancient guardians, there should be no problem in conquering the two monster strongholds.

Without further ado, he decided to take action today.

In addition, for ease of communication, Liu Huasheng and Guan Zhengxing numbered the high grounds. Their Chaos City was located at High Ground No. 1, and the other seven high grounds, in a clockwise direction, were High Ground No. 2, High Ground No. 3, and so on, up to High Ground No. 8.

Now, Liu Huasheng has occupied Hill 1, Hill 2, Hill 3 and Hill 4, which means he has opened four mines.

"Ah Xing, you continue exploring the map today, focusing on the southeast! Oh, and I have an experience book here. Could you take it to Wang Shuaibo? He's at High Ground 5! I'm going to lead a raid in the wilderness. If we're lucky and find the experience book, it's yours!"

As he spoke, Liu Huasheng took out the experience book he had created the day before.

"Yes, boss!"

Guan Zhengxing took the experience book and, without delay, flapped his wings twice and flew away.

Liu Huasheng quickly finished his ramen and immediately led his team to set off.

His team is even stronger than yesterday, with the addition of the Dark Ranger, Immortal River!

In addition, considering that there was a gold mine in the northeast corner of the map, Liu Huasheng also brought five migrant workers with him.

The journey was quite boring, but at least I could listen to the radio.

Today's song of the day is "A-Zhen Fell in Love with A-Qiang," a cover version. The lead singer's tone is lifeless and weak, yet it has a certain charm, which made Liu Huasheng hum along for a few lines.

In fact, Liu Huasheng was not familiar with these popular songs. He could sing many military songs, though. When he passed by Hill No. 2, he made a special trip to the Demon Sound Tower and played a song called "Green Flower in the Army".

"The cold wind blows, leaves fall, the army is a green flower, dear comrade, don't miss home, don't miss your mother..."

A simple yet gentle song rang out in the sky above Lostanp. Liu Huasheng's emotions were slightly stirred. Humans are not plants or trees, how could they be without feelings? He had come here alone, and there was nothing he could do about it, but he still missed his hometown and his friends.

Below Hill 5, Wang Shuaibo muttered something.

"Another song interruption! What's the difference between this and interrupting with a joke? The White-Browed Hero was really enjoying it!"

Wang Shuaibo was already obsessed with listening to storytelling. He didn't know what martial arts were before, and he had never heard of martial arts. He just felt that the world in the storytelling was very magical and the stories were very captivating.
