Chapter 47: Sentry Tower Upgrade
As expected of the man who was evaluated as an operator by the system. He was indeed powerful.
“I need one… wind-type mana core and one ice-type mana core. Name your price.”
This choice was the result of Mcgee’s careful consideration.
The Molten Lizard was definitely not an existence that could be resisted head-on. Even if he had the gold-tier earth mystic armor, Mcgee would not stand in front of the boss and attack him with a small knife.
The only way to be truly safe was to kite it and shoot it to death.
Among the element, the ice and wind elements that possessed such a restrictive ability were among the best.
Compared to the fire element, although they did not have such a violent destructive power, the restrictive effect was definitely top-notch.
However, Romon did not state his price. Instead, he asked, “Big boss Mcgee, did you kill the monster that was level 5 in the previous announcement?”
“Yes,” Mcgee admitted generously.
“Oh my G.o.d! I already have a level 4 trap, but it’s challenging to kill a level 3 beast. How did you do it?”
“Big boss, can you share your experience? I can provide you with these two crystal cores for free.”
Romon was shocked. He did not expect that Mcgee really did it.
One had to know that when the novice protection period was over, the level 5 Berserk Hounds alone had already destroyed the homes of people who had started too slowly.
The higher the level of the beast, the higher the level of their skills.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if a level 6 Berserk Hound invaded the home after the novice period ended, then it was very likely that more than 99% of the people would be killed by this beast.
It did not need a group of level 6 monsters to be able to do this easily.
Not everyone could be like Mcgee, killing all of the Berserk Hounds.
A lot of people relied on defensive skills to survive until the Berserk Hounds retreated on their own.
Mcgee was a little confused when he saw this message.
“Aren’t you a businessman? Why are you so concerned about battling?”
“I’m afraid that the next time monsters attack my territory, it will be wiped out…”
Thinking about it, it made sense. Roman spent most of his energy on buying and selling materials. He did not have time to search for higher-quality beasts outside.
This also meant that he probably only had one low-quality beast that he had initially chosen. Thus, even if he used crystal cores to raise it to a very high level, he would be killed in an instant if he encountered a beast of the same level.
Hence, Mcgee took a picture of the watchtower and sent it over.
“Do you still remember the blueprints you gave me? This watchtower is very strong. It can easily kill a Heavy-armored Bull at level one, and it can be upgraded in the future.”
“System Notification: You have a new transaction request!”
Without any hesitation, Romon immediately initiated the transaction.
Mcgee took a look. He was actually willing to exchange six crystal cores for this sentry tower.
However, if he calculated the value of the materials, if he made a crossbow sentry tower, it would only be a small profit.
Each took what they needed. Then, after Mcgee finished making it, he immediately sent it over and received six crystal cores.
After the transaction was over, Romon sent a thank-you emoji.
Ignoring him, Mcgee began upgrading the sentry tower.
Soon, the sentry tower was covered with a green light with its rapid firing speed, while the catapult tower at the other end was covered with white frost energy.
Mcgee had upgraded it two levels higher!
Looking at the evolution requirement again, the number of crystal cores he needed had changed from one to two.
It was just enough for him to level them up again.
Two more rays of light flashed past. Not only did the elemental energy that covered the sentry tower become more powerful, but the body of the sentry tower had also become larger. The number of launching ports that were originally one had increased to two.
Everything was considered ready.
Mcgee nodded in satisfaction. Then, he went to the courtyard and began to prepare the food for lunch.
The Little Spirit Fox came up and crouched beside his legs.
“Master, I’m hungry.”
The Steel Fairy also flew over and looked at him pitifully.
After a morning of hard fighting, the few beasts were all exhausted and hungry.
Especially the Heavenly Eye Spiders. They spat out spider silk one after another, almost hollowing out their bodies.
Mcgee first gave the Little Spirit Fox a piece of roasted meat.
“After you finish eating, go and collect the meat of that Heavy-armored Cow and bring it to me. Then, I’ll give you another piece.”
“Yes, yes.”
The Little Spirit Fox happily agreed.
The beasts at home all loved to eat meat. Fortunately, Mcgee had sufficient stock. Moreover, he had raised so many charging pigs, so he was not afraid of food shortages at all.
Even Omori was given half of the steak and a large sweet potato. As he ate, tears flowed down his face.
Meat…
What a wonderful taste.
It was indeed a good thing to be with big boss Mcgee.
The Chameleon, who was hiding in the corner of its home, wanted to go close but did not dare to.
However, Mcgee had already noticed it. He put a piece of steak in his old clothes and placed it in the corner of the wooden house. Then, he went to roast a new steak.
The extremely hungry Chameleon smelled the fragrance but still hesitated for a long time. Then, seeing that Omori was also eating Mcgee’s food, he could not help but pounce on it and munch down.
Just as he was still enjoying his food, a shadow came down and startled him.
It was Mcgee. He brought another piece of meat over.
“Eat slowly. There’s more.”
The Chameleon shrunk its neck and carefully took a bite. At the same time, it paid attention to Mcgee’s actions.
“Are you interested in helping me?” Mcgee said.
If he had the help of its invisibility skill, fighting the Molten Lizard, the safety factor would be much higher.
“Do you want me to recognize you as my new master?” The Chameleon let go of the meat in his mouth and said firmly, “Impossible. Even if he mistreated me, I would never recognize anyone else as my master.”
Mcgee chuckled. “Logically speaking, your master has to listen to me now. So, shouldn’t you listen to me too?”
The Chameleon was startled. “My master listens to you?”
“Or what?” Mcgee pouted. “If I didn’t give my permission, would my tamed beasts let him sit in my yard and eat my food?”
Seeing the Chameleon’s eyes waver, Mcgee struck while the iron was hot.
“You listen to him, but he listens to me. He has to do whatever I tell him to do. Don’t you have to listen to me then?”
“I don’t believe it!” The Chameleon retorted weakly.
Mcgee directly turned his head and ordered, “Omori, go help the Little Spirit Fox carry the meat.”
“Yes, Lord Mcgee.”
Omori did not hesitate and walked out of the house.
“Now?”
The Chameleon did not speak.
“I can promise you two pieces of meat for every meal, delicious meat.”
“Really?” The Chameleon’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Do I need to lie to you?” Mcgee stood up. “If I give you even one meal less, you can leave.”
“I’ll take three!”
“No problem.” Mcgee was very generous.
The Chameleon immediately agreed. “Okay!”
