Chapter 32： The Gremlin People of The Lord of The City

How could Li Hanqiang not have figured it out?

The construction blueprints in the Defensive Tower Shop were directly bound to the player after purchase and could not be traded, but the same did not apply to gold coins.

There must be a local Chaotic City Lord tyrant who was collecting gold coins from the adventurer players to buy and build lots of defensive towers. Only then would it be possible for them to surpass him on the Gold Coin Leaderboard.

If rich men like Emperor Tianhe were Chaotic City Lords, they would definitely be buying lots of gold coins. This was not only to upgrade Defensive Towers but could also be used to upgrade the Chaos' Core.

At the same time, there would also be a large number of men to help in defending the city.

Li Hanqiang reached the Limitless Tower and took a look at the Gold Coin Leaderboard. Nine of them were anonymous, and the only one who revealed their name was in third place.

[Lord of Chaotic City No. 69, Chaotic City Lord Chun Sanyue, a single income of 45 gold!]

'Chaotic City No. 69? He was one number after mine so why should he grab the limelight?' Li Hanqiang felt particularly uncomfortable and secretly wondered why Chun Sanyue had decided not to be anonymous.

Despite his discomfort, Li Hanqiang still started the Gold Coin Challenge.

While he wanted to buy two more Basic Arrow Towers to enhance his defensive firepower before starting, he felt in the moment that he was not in a rush to do so.

Before starting the Gold Coin Challenge, Li Hanqiang used the Small Chaotic Bottle to extract Chaotic Energy from the Chaos' Core, leaving just a little left.

The Small Chaotic Bottle was definitely a very useful prop.

It did not take long for the Gold Coin Challenge to end. Compared to the first Gold Coin Challenge, he now had a Level 3 Beast Hunter and managed to kill six more Gold Cavalry, which increased his income by 30 silver coins. However, it was obvious that he would not end up in the leaderboard with these results.

Li Hanqiang had also managed to confirm another thing. The Beast Hunter could only catch beasts and did not have any effect on the Golden Infantry. The only reason it could capture the Golden Cavalry was because they rode Golden Horses.

'Fortunately, there are still the restrictions of having to build on Chaotic Stone Slabs. They can't build towers indefinitely even if they have huge amounts of gold coins. Besides that, the first-level Defensive Towers have limited power and are not exactly stronger than high-level adventurer players. Hence, those who build first-level defensive towers are newbies and won't be well-off in the long run... I will kill my way to be back to this Gold Coin Challenge Leaderboard sooner or later!'

Li Hanqiang said this with fervent ferociousness and went idle again.

He was also slightly curious about the current situation of the two idiots, Fanning and Fiery. He glanced at his friend's list and saw that they were both offline. He concluded that they must have been crushed by the Emperor's Rich Guild or those two idiots would have definitely come over to fish in idle mode.

Li Hanqiang wanted to help them. After all, they all shared a common enemy at the moment. However, while he had the intention, he did not currently have the means to do so.

He set up his pole and fished...

The night was quiet and Li Hanqiang's luck seemed to have recovered. After half an hour, a system notification came. 

[Congratulations to the player, you have caught a Small Chaotic Bottle x1]

'Small Chaotic Bottle! It has finally appeared!'

Li Hanqiang threw the fishing rod aside, taking out the Small Chaotic Bottle as he ran out of the Blue Ripple Pond.

After filling the Chaos' Core full of Chaotic Energy, he impatiently ran behind the Chaotic City and opened the Cave Dwelling in Gremlin's Mountain Construction Blueprint. Just like the construction of the Blue Ripple Pond, a slate road was quickly paved and stretched out for 100 meters in length. There was a small Space-Time Wormhole at the end, bearing the characters of 'Cave Dwelling in Gremlin's Mountain'.

With infinite curiosity, Li Hanqiang stepped into the 'Cave Dwelling in Gremlin's Mountain'. He first saw a verdant green mountain. The mountain itself was not steep, and the forest around it was dense, making for a picturesque sight.

Looking around, there was a stone tablet beside him with the words 'Cave Dwelling in Gremlin's Mountain' written on it. There was also a winding path in front of him leading directly to the top of the mountain.

At that moment, the detailed attribute information of the Cave Dwelling in Gremlin's Mountain also appeared.

Although Li Hanqiang could not fully comprehend the attribute information of the Cave Dwelling in Gremlin's Mountain at that moment, it seemed to be very strong.

He floated up and walked toward the top of the mountain. He soon found a stone cave with a stone gate in front of it. There was a stone tablet in front of it with the words 'Mountain Top Cave Dwelling'.

[System notification: This is the turf of the little gremlins. Try to recruit a little gremlin, it will serve you loyally.]

Li Hanqiang immediately understood what to do after hearing the system notification. He slapped his thigh and said to himself 'Isn't this just like raising an army? Can I as the Chaotic City Lord finally recruit soldiers and buy horses?'

Without hesitation, he spent one point of Chaotic Energy and heard the system notification.

[Congratulations on your successful recruitment of a Green Gremlin]

Immediately after that, the stone gate of the stone cave opened, and out came a little gremlin with green hair on its head. The little gremlin was only 1.2 to 1.3 meters tall, with ears like a leopard and a dog-like nose. It had a full head of green hair and wore a close-fitting upper garment  and shorts. Its feet were bare and its arms were visible. It definitely had the appearance of a gremlin. The gremlin did a somersault as it came in front of Li Hanqiang, bowing as it shouted, "All hail the King!"

Li Hanqiang was stunned for a moment and his heart was full of admiration for the Game Creator, Endless. He was a Chaotic City Lord and after he had come to this gremlin cave, he had finally became a 'King'!

He decided to take a look at the attributes of the Green Gremlin.

When he heard the name 'gremlin', Li Hanqiang thought that they were refined beasts. Their levels should have been higher than that of a beast, but apparently Endless had set the gremlins to be just like any other race of elves and gnomes. They were considered their own race!

As he looked at the attributes of the Green Gremlin, he saw that it only had 30HP, and what did it mean by a less than 1 physical attack power? This was worse than Little Black Pigs but Li Hanqiang was still excited. The little gremlin had a profession and it was written clearly. It was a citizen!

What were citizens for? To create the foundation of construction and development!

How could Li Hanqiang not be excited?

After it paid respect to the 'King', the Green Gremlin started to do somersaults at the side, playing by himself. It really did seem very mischievous.

Li Hanqiang found this very interesting. He beckoned the Green Gremlin to come to him and asked, "What can you do?"

"Your Majesty!" The Green Gremlin arched and said, "I can do anything, guard the house, collect ore, clear the wild area for cultivation, plant herbs, break into and raid a house… I am good at everything!"

"What a f*cking boast!" Li Hanqiang pouted, feeling like it was still very unreliable. He asked the Green Gremlin, "Do you know how to fish?"
