Inside Tianhe Village.
The fifth wave of monsters had been intercepted, granting a ten-minute break.
Outside the village, equipment and materials lay scattered everywhere, waiting to be collected.
The truth was, Chu Fu had single-handedly killed all these monsters, but she simply couldn’t pick everything up.
She gave up collecting altogether.
That way, other players could take the equipment instead of letting it go to waste.
After all, she had already earned enough.
When she first arrived at Tianhe Village, relying on her knowledge of the storyline and her own judgment, she immediately realized the price levels here were different from those in Wangxi Village.
Players sold copper coins only within their own server.
Now that the beginner village was no longer restricted to a single map, players could temporarily cross servers, traveling from Wangxi Village to Tianhe Village.
With Tianhe Village players fleeing, the currency’s value naturally tanked.
Chu Fu frantically stocked up, buying all the copper coins on the market that were priced above a 7:1 ratio.
Spending only 5 million, she acquired 37 gold coins.
One gold coin equaled 1,000 silver coins, which equaled 1 million copper coins.
That meant these gold coins were worth 37 million.
A massive profit.
As for the copper coins dropped by the monster tide — level-5 monsters dropped about 5 copper coins per kill, but the drop rate was roughly one drop every ten monsters.
Even if Chu Fu had wiped out 500,000 monsters, that would only be 250 silver coins.
She considered it welfare for the players picking up equipment.
But her generosity made the players too embarrassed to take her loot.
They didn’t keep the materials for themselves either. Instead, they gathered the equipment and piled it up, along with a large heap of copper coins, right in the center of the village.
They had done the same thing last time.
The players from Wangxi Village truly had too high a moral standard.
Chu Fu couldn’t carry it all either. Her guild members hadn’t arrived yet, and Tianhe Village had no guild warehouse, so the equipment had to stay there.
Shen Chi had become the Roller Coaster Driver again, transporting more players over.
This time, the situation wasn’t as urgent, so Shen Chi brought back seven or eight hundred people at once.
The fastest group of players was also about to fly in.
That way, Tianhe Village could definitely hold the line.
Afterward, Chu Fu joined in crafting traps.
On the north side of Tianhe Village,
in front of the defensive line built by the players, Chu Fu planted 20 creeping vines, covering a hundred meters of the frontline battlefield.
Now that Tianhe Village’s defensive perimeter had shrunk — it couldn’t compare to Wangxi Village —
this hundred meters was enough to block the entire contact zone of the monster tide.
With the monsters intercepted, the players would be safer.
To Chu Fu’s delight, among these 20 vines, one had mutated and given birth to a sprite.
[Creeping Vine Sprite (Special Summon): Born of nature’s call, a sprite born from a special plant. Fragile in life but powerful in attack. Can use skill: Thorn Entanglement.]
It was a dark green sprite, no bigger than a palm, wearing a skirt, with dragonfly-like wings on its back, able to fly through the air.
It could communicate simply with Chu Fu, heal her plants, and also attack enemies.
Much more useful than Shen Chi’s robots.
Chu Fu then went to the other side of the line and released 20 dandelions, which summoned another sprite holding a green chainsaw.
[Dandelion Sprite: Can use skills: Leaf Chainsaw, Hot Air Balloon Escape.]
Next, Chu Fu planted additional watermelon bombs inside her spirit plant pouch.
Sure enough, she could plant new ones and store the watermelon bombs.
While continuously storing them, a Watermelon Sprite also appeared.
[Watermelon Sprite: Can use skill: Throw Watermelon Bomb.]
Chu Fu couldn’t even imagine — if she had unlimited storage, she would have an army of plant warriors!
Chu Fu set up defenses on the western and northern walls using plants to intercept the monsters.
She herself appeared at the southeast corner, planning to use [Plague Spread] to clear the area.
The sixth wave of monsters came quickly!
Three minutes later,
the sixth wave was wiped out in seconds!
Chu Fu’s level skyrocketed to 12!
There were simply too many monsters — even if each monster gave her only 1 XP, that was still over 500,000 monsters.
The players present erupted into heated discussion.
“Plant Boss alone can kill all the monsters.”
“Do you think after the counterattack, we’ll still get attribute points? And double XP? That’s like getting an extra first-kill bonus!”
“Either way, we’re better off than other servers. I’ve heard that out of 28 major regions and 280,000 servers, none have achieved a perfect defense.”
They were incredibly lucky.
To have become players of Wangxi Village.
In the team, Jiao Jiao flattered Chu Fu: “Plant Girl, after you exchange your points later, sell me your leftover contribution points! Then I won’t have to shout myself hoarse buying them! Please, please!”
“No problem!”
With [Plague Spread], she could already dominate the entire beginner village.
Next came
the seventh wave…
the eighth wave…
the ninth wave…
all cleared.
Only the last wave remained!
At that moment, Youlong Zhuye and his team finally returned.
They entered the Tianhe Village area, accepted the quest, and saw Tianhe Village like never before.
Stone walls were piled up around the village.
Standing on the walls were players, all at level 10 or higher — some even at level 11 or 12.
Not only that, their equipment was incredible. Every single one wore bronze gear, the worst being black iron, and among every ten players, one glowed with silver equipment light.
The Youlong studio had only a little over a dozen silver items, all from first-kill silver chests.
What kind of well-armed village was this?
They cautiously approached, hardly daring to believe it.
Youlong Zhuye steeled himself and came forward, saying: “Everyone, we were the original players of Tianhe Village. Thank you for helping us defend our beginner village. We’re truly grateful. Could you let us in too? To defend the last wave.”
The Wangxi Village players frowned.
They didn’t come back before, but they come back now?
To leech rewards?
Everyone was displeased, yet they felt they had no grounds to refuse — after all, Tianhe Village was indeed theirs.
They all instinctively looked at Chu Fu.
Chu Fu raised an eyebrow and finally said, “No one’s stopping you. Come on in!”
Chu Fu didn’t plan to make a move just yet.
She naturally let them enter.
From within the team, Xie Lin’s voice rang out.
“Speaking of which, if Tianhe Village holds, will it merge with Server 26-27?”
“After all, each server only has one beginner village!”
“If they add Server 029, which failed its defense, that makes about 10,000 people. Won’t we have to wait for later server merges?”
“After the merge, dungeons and field bosses will unlock. That might delay us five whole days before we can take the first kill!”
Xie Lin was torn.
On one hand, he couldn’t abandon the beginner village.
On the other, he was especially annoyed at the four major guilds for creating a hegemonic server.
Chu Fu was about to explain
when text suddenly refreshed on the map, accompanied by fierce arguments.
Are the people on your server completely shameless? The copper coins we laid out were meant for the Plant Man Lord to collect, and you actually stole them!
