Chapter 1073: Chapter 880: A Tacit Cooperation with the Insider

As he closed the switch, the thick smoke and energy turbulence at the base of the tower quickly dissipated, and a bunch of repair NPCs swiftly entered carrying a pile of boxes.

This was the first time Chun had seen the repair process from the start, so he focused on observing and learning. Players can all repair Magic Towers; surely his Divine Artisan-level Mechanical Technique should know something as well. Besides, if an explosion happened later, it would be this person who takes the blame.

Soon, the group of NPCs used Magic to clear the broken wall equipment, and then directly filled the boxes one by one into the space. Each time a box was filled, it emitted a normal operating light, merging with the wall.

Chun was amazed—this was modular repair like building blocks!

Wherever it’s broken, just replace an entire module! It’s fast and convenient for wartime repairs, but it doesn’t teach you anything... Wait!

Chun was also someone who played with modules, after all, who still codes among today’s coders, right? It’s just the Ctrl+C+V keys on the keyboard; copy and paste. Copy too much and you put it all in one file, which becomes so-called modules. The advantage is increased work efficiency (easy to slack off), but the downside is that almost nobody knows the fundamental source code anymore.

Judging by the current situation of the mindlessly stacking boxes in the Magic Tower, this must be the coders being lazy; the whole Magic Tower is just piles of these boxes 1+1+1+1, which means each box is actually a small Magic Tower. If you can get inside a box and understand one, then you can unravel the whole Magic Tower, or even the entire city’s Defense system.

But getting inside a box... looking at the hardness, hoping for vines to drill through seems unlikely, even using Divine Artisan-level Construction Technique’s Space Burst is questionable, but it will definitely be exposed prematurely?

Chun started switching perspectives across 20 towers, trying to find a newly repaired and unguarded tower, but every repaired tower was highly guarded, no chance!

The key is seeing these NPCs looking relaxed as if they’ve won; Chun felt something was off and contacted Mei: "Lady Mei, how’s the situation on your side?"

Mei replied: "Going according to tactics, no problems, just keep stalling; I even want to counterattack to support you."

Support me? Okay, after all, there are prayers from five major cities on the live stream, and Ten Lords alongside for support, maybe when she counterattacks it’ll be my best chance for collaboration from inside and outside.

Thinking of the Ten Lords, Chun suddenly thought of this Baka player, what a dog dare—they’re opposing the Ten Lords as a team. I just need to record him, and let Zhou Qing find a channel to disseminate; once the Ten Lords get angry, one call can wipe out their Baka Corps!

But then again, maybe Baka doesn’t have that courage, and perhaps sent a player over specifically as an inside agent to assist the Ten Lords? If that possibility exists, then I just need to keep an eye on him and wait for him to make a move?

Alright, let’s see him make a move and also witness the strength of the Baka team.

The following time was Chun monitoring his pathetic cries as he frantically repaired the tower, while continuing to watch the situation on the large account side.

...

Divine Team Command Center.

Although the Peeping Immortal managed to tie down four noble daughters and one high-class unknown nun, showcasing high-end professional player task standards, the Young Master still focused on Mr. Xiaoshan’s live stream progress, and each proficiency gained by Mr. Xiaoshan brought the Young Master comforting sips of wine.

Perhaps in the Young Master’s view, regardless of what achievements he achieves, it merely stabilizes the basics, while Mr. Xiaoshan’s prospects are about frontier expansions, clearly of different value.

Peeping was dissatisfied inside and decided to offer advice: "Young Master, such a major action, it’s impossible Xiximi Tatami wasn’t involved—once Mr. Xiaoshan’s repair action gets caught on film and spread online, it could cause a misunderstanding with the Ten Lords, placing our team in a passive position."

The Young Master’s heart tightened: "It’s actually what I’ve been worrying about all this time!"

So the Young Master instructed: "Mr. Xiaoshan, seize the chance to initiate disruptive action."

"Understood, just wait until I fully grasp it. Plus, having repaired over a dozen towers, I’ve earned the trust of the Tower Guardian Mage Squad..."

Mr. Xiaoshan indeed didn’t keep the Young Master waiting long, after successfully closing the switch once again, a black glow surged on the shadow!

—System notification: Congratulations! Your shadow and soul, after multiple intense Element energy flow impacts, achieved a qualitative leap, you have comprehended "Shadow Resilience", your Life +500, Physical Strength +100, Mana +1000, Spirit +50, the strength and injury recovery of your shadow increased by 100%, your Shadow Demon race skills receive significant boosts.

Comprehended, the attribute point increases alone are beyond imagination!

Mr. Xiaoshan rejoiced, immediately reporting to the Young Master: "Young Master..."

The Young Master immediately instructed: "Begin the action!"

"Understood."

Mr. Xiaoshan instantly knelt and bowed before several nearby Tower Guardian Mages: "Lords, I have successfully comprehended Shadow Resilience, but I know that without your support and the opportunity you provided for my training and learning, I would not have comprehended it. The kindness of all of you is endless! Hence, I also wish to join your Tower Guardian team as an apprentice; I greatly desire improvement..."

The mages were very pleased and directly pulled out a badge to hang on Mr. Xiaoshan: "Since you so sincerely requested, we will grant your wish—from now on, you join our Tower Defense Group 9 as a trainee logistics soldier, with a trainee period of seven days. Remember, once you join you are a soldier, you must act according to orders and not act on your own, let alone abandon our group, else you are a rebel and will be severely punished!"
