Buildings can be upgraded in the territory management list. Upgrading a level 2 wooden fence requires 50 units of wood and 5 gold coins.

Cheng Shen hasn't seen anyone in the world get gold coins yet.

It should be a special drop from monsters.

He later repaired the pile.

Currently, only the wells and campfires remain in the territory's infrastructure, which are still in a damaged state.

The former can produce clean water, which is very important.

However, repairing the well requires an iron bucket and a rope, which are materials that no one has discovered yet.

The purified water Cheng Shen exchanged in the market is estimated to last five or six days.

So don't rush.

The function of the bonfire is to protect the courtyard from darkness.

In layman's terms, it means forming a safe zone so that when there are no monsters attacking the city, you will not be targeted by nearby monsters.

There is a three-hour novice protection period for the newly started territory, which has roughly the same effect.

Therefore, Cheng Shen was not in a hurry to use up wood to light a bonfire.

There is still an hour and a half before the first wave of monsters attack the city.

Cheng Shen came to the wooden pile.

He picked up a wooden stick that came to hand and wanted to test the effect of the training stakes. When he picked up the long stick with both hands and hit the wooden stakes.

Benedict!

The wooden stake trembled slightly.

Several system prompts came in Cheng Shen's mind.

[You’ve figured it out—mastering stick weapons!]

[Stick weapon proficiency level 1!]

…

[Mastering stick weapons]

【passive】

[Level: Basic]

【Level:1】

[Explanation: When you use a long stick type weapon, you can deal an additional 3% damage]

[Proficiency: 1/100]

…

"Sure enough, the system provides a way for individuals to become stronger. It does not completely tie the lord and the territory together... It is equally important to enhance one's own strength. After all, you can't hide in the territory to defend yourself all the time."

Cheng Shen thought to himself.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if one day the territory is invaded by monsters, as long as you are strong enough, you can still survive in this world.

"Maybe Zhang Yao's path is the right one..."

Time is limited.

Cheng Shen didn't waste time exploring outside. It would be too dangerous to rashly leave the protected territory before he lost the ability to fight.

He simply picked up a wooden stick to practice his proficiency.

Benedict!

Benedict!

Benedict!

…

After waving more than a dozen times, Cheng Shen felt out of breath.

It's not that he is physically weak, but that every time he attacks, he must be at full strength in order to trigger the wooden stake's training bonus.

Just a light touch or a controlled attack will not have any effect.

As an office worker, he is not exposed to physical labor all year round, which is close to his physical limit.

Cheng Shen was very sensible and avoided cracking the tiger's mouth and straining his muscles. He stopped decisively when he felt tired.

Wait for your physical strength to recover before continuing training.

In this way, intermittently, before the first wave of monsters came, he finally mastered the stick weapon training to level 3.

The damage bonus reaches 9%.

The point is, as the skill level increased, Cheng Shen clearly felt that he had some wonderful insights into the weapons in his hands.

It feels like it has been used for many years.

"Woo!"

A dull horn sound suddenly echoed in the sky.

The clouds are overcast.

The atmosphere solidified.

Among the dark holes in the sky that Cheng Shen had seen before, one of them dropped directly a few hundred meters in front of his territory.

Like a huge crack.

in the cracks.

Deep red swirls surged.

Following a violent shaking, a lizard about one meter long with dark red scales slowly crawled out of the whirlpool.

Its eyes were as clear as rubies, and its body was covered with a layer of illusory flames.

[The first wave of monster attacks has arrived!]

[The attacking party this time: Fire Demon Lizard!]

【Quantity: 30!】

…

The dense forest obscured the view, and Cheng Shen could only see clearly with the lord's vision.

But as soon as the fire demon lizard landed on the ground, it seemed as if it had received guidance.

Heading straight towards his territory.

Cheng Shen was a little nervous and connected his consciousness to the Ice Arrow Tower. Just waiting for the big lizard to enter the shooting range, he suddenly launched an attack.

Whoosh!

An ice-blue energy arrow shrouded in white frost shot out of the air.

Accurately hit the Fire Demon Lizard.

-89!

Snap!

Layers of ice instantly crawled all over the Fire Demon Lizard's body along the point of impact, and a large chunk of its health bar dropped from its head!

The damage is so high?!

Cheng Shen was surprised.

The Ice Arrow Tower's attack is only 55. If we follow the game rules, I'm afraid it will have to offset the Fire Demon Lizard's own defensive attributes.

Attribute restraint?

A thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Whoosh!

Another energy arrow was fired.

The Fire Demon Lizard, which was slowed down to the point of being unable to dodge, fell directly to the ground!

[Get: Experience 5!]

…

The first one seemed to be just a test.

Immediately afterwards.

The second one, the third one...more fire demon lizards poured out of the whirlpool.
To be continued...
