The Suture Saint looked at Chu Fu.
“Plant Girl, should we revive them?”
Chu Fu couldn’t tell which of these people wanted to become traitors, and which were actually undercover agents. Besides, there was no time.
“Revive them.”
The Suture Saint brought them back to life.
“Get up. I’ll do this one for free, but don’t even think about causing trouble. Stay here and behave until the town siege is over.”
The Suture Saint used Corpse Stitching.
The Thousand Hands talent activated, instantly reviving all fifty players.
Fortunately, Shen Chi hadn’t used the Vacuum, or all their equipment would have been sucked away, leaving them to cover themselves with beginner’s loincloths.
“Wait, Plant Master! Is there any way you can help us switch back from the evil faction? I don’t want to live like this anymore!”
Someone shouted.
“Yeah, yeah! We didn’t mean to do it in the first place. Guan Youlong ordered us to!”
“I’m not one of Guan Youlong’s people. I’m a player who triggered a hidden condition by killing Wandering Dragon Studio. I couldn’t beat Werewolf Tuge back then, especially since there wasn’t any guide available yet!”
This person spoke with such righteous indignation that the former Wandering Dragon Studio player immediately moved away from him.
Anyone capable of killing Wandering Dragon Studio players was no ordinary person.
“Plant Master, can you help us? We want to participate in defending the town too, but Werewolf Tuge had a skill that teleported us here. On top of that, failing the quest reduced our attributes. This game is unplayable! We heard that even dying by suicide carries the penalty. Are our accounts completely ruined?”
Chu Fu thought for a moment before replying, “I’ll gather some information and post it on the official Thorn Group account later. You can check it there. For now, the town siege is more important.”
Chu Fu flew into the cockpit in Shen Chi’s mech’s chest.
The cockpit door closed, and the mech roared into the sky.
They had to hurry back. She couldn’t miss out on farming contribution points.
On the way, Chu Fu took out the [Evil God’s Divine Power Material] and used it to enhance three of her pieces of equipment.
As usual, she upgraded the [High-Soul-Power Forehead Ornament] and the [Forest Venom Window Earrings] to Dark Gold grade.
After all, accessories of this caliber were incredibly difficult to come by.
For the last Dark Gold slot, Chu Fu chose a special item.
[Spirit Plant Pouch]
This thing was incredibly useful. It allowed her plants to be grown ahead of time and released during battle.
It absolutely had to be upgraded.
[High-Soul-Power Crystal Forehead Ornament (Dark Gold): Attack +120, Spirit +70, Mana Recovery +30%.]
[Forest Venom Window (Dark Gold): Physical and Magical Attack +140, Spirit +80.
Trait 1: Wood-element Attack +200.
Trait 2: Poison-element Attack +200.]
[Spirit Plant Pouch (Dark Gold):
Special Equipment: Spatial Backpack.
Trait 1: Can store an unlimited number of seeds and plant-type items.
Trait 2: Contains a 100 × 100 × 100 planting space with its own soil. Plants grown inside have their yield increased by 30%, their maturation time reduced by 30%, and a 5% chance to improve in quality.]
The attributes had doubled!
Amazing.
Chu Fu casually replenished the Gatling Corn inside the Spirit Plant Pouch so she would have enough to use when they returned.
When they got back, the players in town erupted into cheers.
[Map]: “I don’t know whether Plant Master managed to defeat Werewolf Tuge, but when they didn’t come back, I was honestly starting to panic!”
[Map]: “There were only five hundred people on the eastern wall. The thought of not being able to hide behind the Gatling guns while fighting the monsters scared me half to death.”
[Map]: “How are our brothers in the werewolf faction? Were they wiped out?”
[Map]: “Wiped out, then revived by Suture Saint. I’m a good person, really.”
[Map]: “So where’s Werewolf Tuge?”
[Map]: “He got shredded. Shredded for two whole minutes. My ears nearly exploded, and Tuge was blasted into a mist of blood.”
[Map]: “Plant Master is just too authoritative.”
Amid the flood of praise in the map chat, the final waves were dispatched with ease.
There were four bosses in each wave, and they secured the final hit on every one of them, earning a total of 80 attribute points.
That wasn’t all. Town-level maps were not restricted by level, and Chu Fu and the others had already reached Level 25.
With the death of the final monster, the siege battle in Zone 009 officially came to an end.
[System Announcement: The goblin army has retreated. Huaiwater Town’s buildings remain 100% intact, and the NPC survival rate is 100%. Town defense successful!]
[System Announcement: Perfect score achieved: 100% protection. All players receive a Guardian Badge. Players who already possess one will have their badge automatically upgraded to the next level. All rewards are doubled.]
[System Announcement: All players in Huaiwater Town receive +4 to all attributes. The original reward was +2.]
[System Announcement: Public event contribution rewards are being calculated!]
[System Announcement: The limited-time shop is now open. Contribution points may be exchanged for reward items. The shop will remain open for 24 hours.]
[System Announcement: Players who have reached Level 20 may spend 10 gold to teleport to a higher-level map: Linjiang City.]
[System Announcement: The restrictions on the Huaiwater Town map have been lifted. Players may now travel to Linjiang City on foot!]
Everyone then turned to the rankings.
As expected, first place belonged to WhoWantsToBeAVegetable.
Even so, people were astonished when they saw the contribution total.
[First Place: WhoWantsToBeAVegetable, Contribution: 430 million]
There had been ten million monsters of each level during the siege, so the total contribution available could be estimated at only 1.1 billion.
Chu Fu alone had killed 40% of the monsters.
Absolutely terrifying.
After that, the rankings dropped sharply.
[Second Place: Rocket on a Wheelchair, Contribution: 120 million]
[Third Place: Suture Saint, Contribution: 100 million]
[Fourth Place: Who Are You Calling Blind?, Contribution: 62.31 million]
[Fifth Place: Laoji Fuli, Contribution: 37.89 million]
Chu Fu examined the rewards granted by the system.
First, her Guardian Badge had become Gold grade, increasing all attributes by 10.
Next came the reward for placing first.
[System Notification: Player “WhoWantsToBeAVegetable,” you ranked first in contribution during this goblin invasion event, with a contribution score of 430 million.
You have received: Talent Enhancement Stones ×3, Skill Enhancement Stones ×10, Dark Gold Chests ×1.
Because Huaiwater Town achieved perfect defense, your rewards have been doubled.
You have received: Talent Enhancement Stones ×6, Skill Enhancement Stones ×20, Dark Gold Chests ×2.]
Unlike the village defense battle at Wangxi Village, this time the second- and third-place players also received two and one Talent Enhancement Stones respectively, and those rewards were doubled as well.
Players ranked second through fifth received Skill Enhancement Stones—eight, six, four, and two respectively—which were then doubled again, granting them even more.
It could truly be called an extraordinary payout.
Beyond that, the contribution shop held some pleasant surprises.
[Town Upgrade Blueprint: Price: 100 million contribution points.]
[Second Talent Awakening Stone: Price: 100 million contribution points. Limit: 1.]
[Growth-Type Divine Weapon Embryo: Adds the “Growth” trait to any piece of equipment. Price: 100 million contribution points. Limit: 1.]
