Chapter 118: The High Tower and the Bell Toll

In the war room of the Guild hall, everyone gathered around the sand table for a meeting.

Li Changde said to Jack, who was still posing as Kamiyu: “According to the rules for exchanging items at the Heavenly Father Altar, each monster killed earns points corresponding to its Level.

For example, killing a Level 10 Aberrant Beast Demon yields 10 points, which can be exchanged for a Minor Health Potion or other items.”

Jack asked, “Can points be transferred?”

Li Changde nodded and replied, “Yes. Precisely because points can be transferred, we can pool the strength of the entire Guild to farm enough points to exchange for the Altar of Lilith.”

Wu Yong added, “If a Player dies, their points disappear. Therefore, points should be transferred to the person with the highest Defense Power or the safest individual.”

At this moment, everyone looked at Jack. They all knew that Jack had the highest Defense Power in the Guild, and perhaps even across the entire Crimson Earth.

Kamiyu asked, “How are points transferred? Can it be done remotely?”

Li Changde frowned and said, “Unfortunately, no. Points must be transferred face-to-face.”

Kamiyu remarked, “That makes things difficult. Without remote transfer, points vanish upon death. If all points are gathered on one person and that person dies, everyone’s efforts would be wasted.”

Wu Yong said, “Miss Kamier is right.”

What Kamiyu worried about was that when exchanging items at the Holy Light Cathedral, An Dao might resort to underhanded tactics. They would need to think of a countermeasure.

So Kamiyu said to Jack, “Then let’s proceed normally. Collect points through the chain of Small Squad members, squad leaders, division leaders, Deputy Captains, and Captains. The northern battlefield will be handed over to him.”

Li Changde interjected, “Exactly. We’ll follow Miss Kamier’s method.”

Finally, Li Changde summarized:

“The northern battlefield will be defended by the Third-Line Team;

The western battlefield will be defended by the Second-Tier Team;

The southern battlefield will be defended by the Frontline Team;

The remaining newbie teams will stand on the City Gate, using Skills, and act as a reserve force patrolling between the four gates.”

“Understood.” The Captains accepted their defensive assignments and returned to their posts.

This was actually Kamiyu’s idea. With her exceptional strength, she and Jack alone could match the total Combat Power of the First and Second-Tier Teams. If they were paired with these teams, it would waste their potential.

Li Changde even felt that Kamiyu had enough strength to defend the other three gates.

After everyone left, Kamiyu asked, “Guild Leader Li, have you completed the task I previously assigned you?”

Li Changde replied, “No problem. I had civil engineering personnel from Reality take on this task. They brought in many engineering equipment from Reality and worked overnight to complete it urgently.

Please follow me.”

The three of them arrived at the western City Gate. Inside the city, near the gate, a simple scaffold stood in stark contrast to the surrounding architectural style.

Kamiyu looked up and saw a six-story-high tower made of steel scaffolding, planted in the ground like a Giant’s walking stick.

As a sniper, she needed to return to her true nature—standing high, seeing far, and shooting fast.

“Hmm, not bad, not bad. This way, I can observe all four directions.” Kamiyu touched the scaffolding.

Jack was also checking the sturdiness of the tower and said at an inappropriate moment, “Is this sturdy? Feels like I could kick it over with one foot.”

“I’ll kick your head! This is our lifeline protecting the entire Main City. Look at my short legs—can I run to all four directions? By the time I run over, the Aberrant Beast Demons would’ve already broken through.” Kamiyu delivered a side kick to Jack’s calf.

Clang.

“Ow, that hurts!” Kamiyu’s Armor lost a bit of Durability.

“What are you doing? Did you have Thorns Reflection active?” Kamiyu asked, rubbing her calf.

“You kicked so fast I didn’t have time to cancel the Hit Detection,” Jack said helplessly.

“Oh, so it’s my fault now,” Kamiyu retorted.

Jack sighed and said, “To Protect you, I keep Thorns Reflection on at all times.”

“And yet I’m the one who got hurt. Look at what you’re protecting,” Kamiyu grumbled.

Their playful banter before the battle eased Li Changde’s tension a bit. Li Changde said, “The foundation below has been reinforced, and the structure is very stable. Unless it’s maliciously attacked, this tower won’t be blown down by the wind.”

Li Changde had just set up a flag here, saying it wouldn’t be maliciously attacked, but in the end, it would inevitably face such attacks.

Kamiyu and Jack exchanged glances, both keeping this in mind.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go up and take a look. You two go about your business,” Kamiyu told them to leave.

Then, she secretly buried a circle of Magic Bullet Delayed Implosion Bullets on the ground around the tower.

She had now figured out how to use the Delayed Implosion Bullet—it could be set as a landmine.

It had two modes: Bullet firing mode and “manual firing” mode.

In “manual firing” mode, she could individually control each Bullet, setting the explosion mode and time. After burying a circle, her Skill Interface Panel displayed 20 additional Delayed Implosion Bullet icons.

And this wouldn’t affect the Delayed Implosion Bullets fired from her gun.

As the saying goes, all’s fair in war. What she was doing now was reverting to her Camper behavior.

After making these preparations, Kamiyu climbed the tower. She found that Li Changde had prepared everything perfectly, building four sturdy shooting platforms according to her needs. This way, she could shoot while sitting, lying prone, or even lying on her back.

Now, she could finally perfectly revert to being a little loli who loves shooting.

She noticed that besides her tower on the north side, three other towers of the same design had been built in the other directions. Through her Scope, she saw that each of the other three towers was manned by several High-Level Mages and Archers—Ranged DPS roles.

When they saw Kamiyu, they all waved to her in greeting.

She thought to herself, Li Changde really was thoughtful. If this tower were damaged, she could still go to the other towers. Later, her Main City Seriga would also need to incorporate this kind of design.

The Solo Players below the north City Gate noticed that the Second-Tier Team of Invincible had already marched out of the City Gate and begun forming ranks. Leading them was the Beta Tester “Kamiyu,” clad entirely in black Battle Armor.

They all said, “The Beta Tester is on our side. The north side is Locked In now.”

“I thought the Second-Tier Team of Invincible wouldn’t be able to hold it, but with the Lord Beta Tester here, it’s definitely Locked In.”

Little did they know, the one truly protecting them and this city was Kamiyu, who was adjusting her scope atop the high tower behind them.

According to the timeline, the Aberrant Beast Demons of the Hell Tide had already advanced to within ten miles of Kaijistan.

“Dong, dong, dong, dong.” The sound rang out.

Kamiyu turned to look—it was the alarm bell tolling from the Holy Light Cathedral in the Main City.

“They’re here.”

“Finally, they’re here.”

Lei Yao of the West Cliff Sanctuary stared intently at Kaijistan as if it were already his for the taking. “Now, the Main City will belong to me.”
