My Chaotic City

Chapter 087 Using the Siege Order

Fat Tiger wasn't live-streaming at all. He was extremely happy today for no other reason than that three eye-catching girls had come to Chaos City!

Having waited so long for this first time, Gian naturally wanted to make a good impression.

"I'll finish my preparations soon. This is a BOSS level, so the experience will be plentiful. After we defeat the BOSS, I'll start the 11th wave of monster siege. I guarantee you'll level up quickly. Remember my Chaos City ID number, come back often, let's add each other as friends first..."

The three girls were clearly newbies, not very high level, and probably students. They were quite obedient, and Fat Tiger easily added them as friends, which made him extremely excited.

Li Hanqiang watched Pang Hu's live stream, which Pang Hu knew absolutely nothing about, and figured out the configuration of his defensive towers very well. Then, he got generous and sent a hundred small tanks in a row!

After going live, Li Hanqiang resolutely issued the siege order.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully using the Siege Order. We are now in the preparation phase. In 12 hours, the spacetime wormhole will connect to Chaos City No. 192. Enjoy your siege!"

"Ding! You have launched a siege against Chaos City of the Dragon Faction. You have gained 30 points of hatred from the Dragon Empire."

"Ding, system notification: Respected Chaos City Lord, because you have not joined the Empire faction, the siege army will be set to level 10 wild monsters, forest wolves..."

Fat Tiger, who was live-streaming at the time, naturally received the system notification that the city was under siege, and was immediately stunned.

What's going on? Chaos City No. 68 has launched a siege against itself!

What's the logic behind this?

Fat Tiger had no idea that Chaos City had a number. It seemed to have been mentioned on the forum, and it was Chaos City of some hidden faction, with the city lord nicknamed Li Hanqiang.

"What did I, Fat Tiger, do to him? This can't be right!"

He felt uneasy, but when he saw the three attractive girls and heard their soft, sweet voices, Fat Tiger immediately perked up again.

What's there to be afraid of? We still have 12 hours to prepare.

As the forum said, defending a city is easy, but attacking it is difficult; attacking a city is a losing proposition.

"If I post something on the forum, I might attract a lot of players defending the city! Don't panic! Trying to breach my Chaos City isn't that easy!"

Gian has completely lost his confidence...

Li Hanqiang was listening to Xiang Mang's report. He was quite surprised that the Wind Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint were actually quite extravagant, having bought a huge amount of miscellaneous goods, bringing their Chaos City profits to nearly five hundred gold coins.

Not far away, the Wind Rider, already wearing a shrimp helmet, was swaggering around in front of a group of slimes!

Meanwhile, the Ignition Sword Saint squatted dejectedly next to a shack.

"City Lord!" Upon seeing Li Hanqiang, the Fan Knight became even more smug, shouting, "My Chaos City contribution points have reached 151, and I've discovered a bug to get rich!"

"What kind of get-rich-quick bug?" Li Hanqiang thought to himself. This guy even wore a shrimp helmet. Doesn't that mean he's already completed 1001 pay-to-win events?

He bought so much groceries, did he manage to buy out all the goblin vendors' groceries?

The Fan Knight leaned close to Li Hanqiang and whispered, "I discovered that you can resell the miscellaneous goods you buy from goblin vendors for a tenth of the price! This isn't a system recycling program; the goods don't disappear. Those silly goblins just resell them! At first, I didn't realize this and foolishly bought a huge pile of miscellaneous goods. I only discovered it later when my storage space was full!"

He was smug, seemingly deliberately avoiding Xiang Mang, and continued in a low voice, "The cheapest miscellaneous goods only cost 10 silver coins. I buy them, sell them back, then buy them back again, and sell them back again. That's like having an unlimited supply of miscellaneous goods worth 10 silver coins each to farm quests. Wouldn't that make me rich? Don't you think I'm incredibly clever!"

Li Hanqiang gave a thumbs up and said, "Indeed clever."

He sighed inwardly, realizing that he had only intended to make a little money with the goblin general store, but now that the Wind Rider had done this, it had become a risk-free business, making money for free!

In the endless world setting, there are actually two types of gold coins: free gold coins, which players can freely trade and use, and bound gold coins, which players can only trade with NPCs or spend in the system shop.

Most of the gold coins players obtain by completing tasks are bound gold coins. Bound gold coins can be used to trade with goblin vendors, but after the trade, those gold coins become bound gold coins of Chaos City No. 68, just like the gold coins accumulated in the Chaos Treasury. They can only be spent by Li Hanqiang in his own Chaos City.

Li Hanqiang did a quick calculation. If he followed the Fan Knight's method, the cost of one in-game purchase would only be nine silver coins. Ninety silver coins would be enough for a ten-time in-game purchase, and ninety gold coins and nine silver coins would be enough for a thousand and one in-game purchase. This means that ninety gold coins and nine silver coins would be enough to buy a piece of blue equipment from the Azure Pool!

Some gold coins are depreciating every day, so ninety coins are nothing now; it's quite a good deal to buy a piece of blue equipment.

"Let's just consider this a perk," Li Hanqiang thought to himself.

The Fan Knight then added, "This shrimp helmet's stats aren't particularly strong, but it's super stylish and incredibly cool. I saw that the rewards for the pay-to-win quests include coral boots, seaweed cloaks, and stuff like that. Is this part of our Dragon Slayer Empire's faction set?"

Li Hanqiang nodded and made up a story: "It's just the lowest-level set. If you can collect the entire faction set, there might be hidden rewards!"

"There's a hidden reward!" Fan Knight's motivation surged, and he exclaimed, "Looks like I really do need to spend some money!"

"Keep it up!" Li Hanqiang encouraged. "By the way, you now have 151 Chaos City contribution points, which means you've already obtained civilian status. I wonder if you'd be interested in becoming a resident of Chaos City?"

"Residents, what are the benefits of becoming a resident?" the Fan Knight asked.

"Becoming a resident means becoming a part of Chaos City. Residents are not refugees; they can stay in Chaos City indefinitely, unaffected by monster sieges. They can also bind their resurrection point to Chaos City, returning to the city for free after death! In addition, residents can come to Chaos City at any time without needing to apply for teleportation, using a teleportation ticket. It won't affect me even if I'm offline." Li Hanqiang explained the resident settings from the Governor's Array Formation Codex.

"That's great! Once we become residents of Chaos City, we won't have to worry about being camped at our respawn point anymore!" said the Fan Knight. "How do we become residents?"

The Ignition Sword Saint stepped forward. He had already spent 100 points of Chaos City contribution and obtained civilian status, but he hadn't yet completed his 1001st purchase. At this moment, he shouted, "I want to become a resident too!"

Li Hanqiang smiled slightly, pointed to a shack, and said, "This is a property in Demon Mountain. It's a single-person, single-family property. Owning one makes you a resident, and you can safely leave your character running in there, as well as store your personal belongings."

The Fan Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint immediately gathered around the shack to watch.

"This shack also needs to be bought with gold coins, right?" the Fan Knight asked. "How much does it cost?"

Li Hanqiang thought for a moment and said, "I'll make an exception and give them away for free. You two can each have a seat."

After speaking, he instructed Xiang Mang to make the necessary provisions in the provincial administration code.

The fan-wielding knight was overjoyed and immediately crawled into a shack to experience it.

The Sword Saint blinked, then suddenly spotted the Demon Mountain Cave and pointed at it, saying, "Isn't this also Demon Mountain property? How did you get your hands on it?"

"The Demon Mountain Cave is much larger than the shack, a feng shui treasure land, and you even get a buff for AFK farming. It's 100 gold coins per cave! If you want to buy one, go find Governor Xiang Mang!" Li Hanqiang said.

"Alright!" Fan Knight and Ignition Sword Saint both nodded.

In fact, Li Hanqiang did not intend to use the shacks and caves to earn gold coins from the Fan Knights and the Ignition Sword Saints. He would give them away for free, and he could even lend them gold coins so that they could quickly increase their contribution to Chaos City.

However, as the lord of a city, how can I play the role of a sugar daddy? If I spoil these two, I'll be exhausted in the future. I still need to let them earn their own living and contribute to Chaos City on their own initiative. Only in this way can there be any meaning in developing the player residents!

In Li Hanqiang's view, player residents are a double-edged sword; those who can be relied on are fine, but those who can't are better off not having at all.

"Those two who fanned the flames are actually quite kind. I should find an opportunity to tell them the truth. After all, playing as a factionless pirate is too risky. It's one thing for me to mess around, but leading them astray would be a disaster," Li Hanqiang thought to himself.
