Not long after, a skeleton stumbled out of the white mist in front of the wooden door, with gray, tattered flesh still hanging from its arms and legs, swaying as it moved. In its empty eye sockets were two faint clusters of blue-green flames.
Its mouth was wide open, emitting meaningless 'ho-ho' roars, and through its gaping maw, one could see it actually had two rows of sharp, black teeth.
Wen Xiangjie flipped off the wooden bed, walked to the wooden door, and marveled at the skeleton's black fangs.
No wonder it came for her first; turns out it had good teeth, didn't like soft targets, and preferred something a bit harder to chew.
Wandering Undead: The lowest level of evil creature. Slow movement and attack speed, extremely low intelligence. Triggers an escape mechanism when health drops to 20%.
It can even escape? That won't do!
If something truly unkillable escaped, there'd be no choice, but if it can be killed, it must be killed directly. Otherwise, what if it turns around, runs away, gains some fortuitous encounter, evolves into an Undead Emperor, and comes back for revenge?
Wen Xiangjie went directly to the shop and, with a grand gesture, bought an arrow tower and a magic tower, upgrading both to the current top-tier mechanical arrow tower and hybrid magic tower. The wooden door was also upgraded to a Gold-element magic-enchanted door.
Having money makes things easy.
The Wandering Undead possessed extremely low intelligence. It didn't know how it was born, only that its mission was to attack the seemingly fragile wooden door in front of it until it shattered, absorbing all the energy that attracted it from within, and then destroying everything! Annihilating!
It stumbled and dragged its skeletal frame towards the wooden door.
Just as it was about to reach the wooden door, the ordinary wooden door suddenly transformed dramatically.
The wooden door, originally made of planks, suddenly turned into a grand gate forged from dark gold metal. Liquid gold-like magic patterns flowed on the gate's surface, and ancient runes were carved into the doorframe, each symbol shimmering with dazzling golden light.
With the intelligence of a low-level undead, it couldn't comprehend why the wooden door suddenly transformed into such a cool gate. It merely paused in a daze before extending its skeletal claw and scratching at the gate.
With one scratch, not only did the metal gate show no trace, but the undead's skeletal claw snapped at the wrist with a 'thud' and fell to the ground.
The Undead felt no pain. It slowly lowered its head, looking at the skeletal claw on the ground. The blue-green flames in its empty eyes trembled slightly, seemingly puzzled.
It instinctively felt that scratching the door should break it. Why, after just one scratch, were its claws broken?
The Undead couldn't figure it out, nor did it continue to ponder.
It tremblingly bent down, aligning the broken wrist bone with the skeletal claw on the ground. The skeletal claw itself moved to find the correct position on the wrist bone and reattached itself.
With its claws restored, the Undead straightened up, intending to continue scratching the door. However, behind the metal gate, two tall towers suddenly rose from the ground, one on the left and one on the right.
The left tower was crafted from pitch black metal, with a crystal core suspended at its top, slowly rotating. Four curved metal arms extended from the core, each carrying three arrows forged from mithril.
The right tower was not a solid entity but a creation formed from a blend of various elements. Obscure magic runes floated within the various magical elements, moving and reassembling like living beings, randomly combining into different magic spells.
Before the Undead's claw could even reach the door, the left tower fired an arrow, and the right tower shot a fireball. The arrow and fireball simultaneously struck the Undead's skeletal frame. The Undead, with a mithril arrow embedded in its breastbone, was instantly incinerated by the fireball, leaving only a handful of black-gray powder.
In its dying moments, the Undead's last thought was—
It seemed… it had directly skipped some mechanism… and fast-forwarded to death?
The black-gray powder quickly vanished from its spot as if wiped away by something, replaced by a pile of shiny gold coins.
You have eliminated the 'Wandering Undead' and obtained the spoils of war: '124 Gold Coins'.
After witnessing the damage of the mechanical arrow tower and the hybrid magic tower, Wen Xiangjie nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that for these early-stage small fry monsters, one mechanical arrow tower and one hybrid magic tower are more than enough to handle them; one could even say it's like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito—overkill.
This way, she can confidently continue to use gold coins to upgrade the Land.
Taking out 100,000 gold coins, she upgraded a piece of Land to Land with Buried Magic Crystal Ore, and the information for the next level of Land immediately appeared.
Land Containing Natural Magic Energy, 10x acceleration function, unlocks 1 plot for 10,000,000 gold coins, can be upgraded ↑ (requires special conditions)
Wen Xiangjie's gaze swept past the 10,000,000 gold coins and stopped at the words “requires special conditions.”
Regarding this special condition, Wen Xiangjie had two guesses.
The first is that the further unlock conditions for Land upgrades might be related to the spoils of war dropped by defeating evil creatures.
The second is that this Magic Farm Game Copy might have other fortuitous encounter mechanisms.
Whether it was the first or second, it meant that Wen Xiangjie needed to prepare in advance, stockpiling magical plants and gold coins to cope.
After planting Changpu Seeds on all the Land with one click again, Wen Xiangjie, feeling a bit hungry, turned and returned to the small wooden house and went to the kitchen.
Though called a kitchen, there were no pots, bowls, or utensils, only a wooden oval rice basin covered with a matching wooden lid.
Wen Xiangjie patted the lid, and after waiting a few seconds, she lifted it to find hot rice and dishes already in the basin.
Because the Land upgraded too quickly, Changpu Seeds could mature in just twenty to thirty minutes. The unintelligent harvesting mechanism made Wen Xiangjie move the rice basin back to the Land, placing it on the wooden table before starting to eat.
Facing the now verdant Land, Wen Xiangjie picked up a spoon and scooped a large spoonful of rice. With one bite, her entire being visibly became decadent and aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This food looked like food, but it clearly tasted like nutrient solution!
Magic Farm, you Game Copy are too perfunctory!
Do you know how much a person looks forward to a good meal when they're hungry!
Thinking that she would have to eat such food for a whole 30 days, Wen Xiangjie felt that life had nothing to look forward to.
Wuwuwu, it's truly like a hemp rope breaking at its thinnest point, fate toying with a big glutton!
After quickly solving her hunger problem in a few hurried bites, Wen Xiangjie, with her head drooping, put the rice basin back in the kitchen. Lifelessly, she returned to the wooden bed, mechanically repeating the actions of planting and harvesting.
The sky gradually darkened, and all the candidates who had been busy all day looked up, their expressions grave, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Night is the carnival time for evil creatures.
As soon as it gets completely dark, all candidates' Magic Farms will suffer continuous attacks from evil creatures!
This is the Magical Farm Game Copy's first test for the candidates!
Candidates who were not sufficiently prepared during the day will have their farms breached and be eliminated on this first night!
