Chapter 042 The Wise Mind of the Provincial Governor
"Choose a faction? Three great empires, three great factions..."
After a brief moment's thought, Chun Sanyue responded to the system, choosing to join the Xuanlong Empire.
"Ding! Congratulations, player, you have successfully joined the Xuanlong Empire faction."
"Ding! You have obtained the military rank of Xuanlong Empire. Your current rank is Private. You can upgrade your rank by completing Empire missions and earning military merits. Please explore the details yourself."
「叮，玄龙帝国正在为您的混沌城配送虚空飞艇，预计现实时间2069年9月1日0：00到达。」
As soon as the three system notifications ended, a flash of light appeared in front of Chun Sanyue, and a beautifully sculpted little monk materialized out of thin air.
The young monk had a red dot between his eyebrows, his hands were clasped together, he wore a golden robe, and had a Buddhist ring on the back of his head. He looked to be only four or five years old, but he had a transcendent air about him.
Without a doubt, this was his provincial governor.
In the third month of spring, he hurriedly checked the provincial governor's attribute information.

"A little monk? And his personality is actually timid!" Chun Sanyue frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.
It is said that the governor's image is randomly created by the system, and it is possible for him to have a fantasy, magical, or sci-fi image. He prefers the image of a demoness, fairy, or female secretary. How come a little monk came?
However, this little monk has quite a talent.
The young monk Huixin bowed politely to Chun Sanyue and said, "Respected City Lord, this humble monk Huixin has come to report and is willing to serve you."
"Hmm!" Chun Sanyue nodded, adopting a leader's demeanor, and said, "Tell me, what are your skills?"
"I am a provincial governor, and naturally I have the duties of one. Chaos City is just starting out, and everything needs to be rebuilt. I will oversee the construction of the [City Defense Center]. Many tasks can be completed in the [City Defense Center], and you will receive a lot of rewards, such as unlocking stone technology, acquiring refugees, building city walls, opening up territories, and so on. Lord City Lord, you can entrust me with all the city defense and internal affairs." The little monk Huixin spoke in a childish voice, with the standard accent of a four or five-year-old child, but he looked extremely serious, like a little adult.
Chun Sanyue nodded and said, "Then hurry up and get to work. Don't think you can slack off just because you're a kid. If you don't produce results, you'll be fired!"
The young monk Huixin turned pale with fright and quickly said, "Don't worry, Lord City Lord, I'll go to work right away."
He glanced around and said, "Lord City Lord, we currently have no manpower. If it were just me alone, it would take three days to construct the city defense center!"
"Three days? Don't try to pull any tricks on me. I'm only giving you two days. You must build the city defense center in two days. There's no room for negotiation, or else..." Chu Sanyue, used to being domineering, was about to suggest deducting his salary when he suddenly remembered that the little monk in front of him wasn't one of his employees. So he waved his hand and said, "If you can't build it in two days, I'll throw you into the siege monsters and let them kill you!"
Huixin was so frightened that tears almost streamed down her face. She hurriedly said, "This humble monk will try his best, this humble monk will try his best!"
After saying that, she ran directly behind the Heart of Chaos, stuck out her little bottom, and drew patterns on the ground with her finger.
"Ding! The Chaos City building [City Defense Center] has been unlocked."
"Ding! Your governor is drawing the [City Defense Center Summoning Array], estimated completion time is 48 hours."
Upon hearing the system notification, Chun Sanyue laughed triumphantly.
The governor has a personality, which is basically equivalent to a virtual human. He must also have the cunning and deceitful side of a human. So we have to use some management methods. Look, just by scaring him like this, the little monk's work efficiency has improved, hasn't it?
In the third month of spring, he secretly praised his own wisdom and did nothing but stand next to the little monk Huixin and keep scaring him in a very stern tone.
Despite his timid nature and teary eyes, the young monk Huixin's work efficiency had indeed improved, rapidly reducing the completion time of the city defense center's summoning array...
After filling his stomach, Li Hanqiang immediately dismissed the group of lesser demons next to the War Corridor as soon as he logged on.
These little demons didn't leave the Chaos Slab while he was offline; they just pushed carts and did somersaults on it. Li Hanqiang sent them all back to the Demon Mountain Cave.
He was actually a little disappointed. After three waves of monster attacks, these little demons hadn't been able to change their class! He had been hoping that a few of them would change their class into Little Drill Wind or Little Torrei.
Upon arriving at the Azure Wave Pool, five of the ten little demons were dozing off, two were doing somersaults, one was practicing handstands, and the remaining two were releasing small fish back into the wild.
"No, no, we have to keep an eye on these fishing monsters, otherwise our fishing efficiency will be too low!" Li Hanqiang sighed.
Players can fish while AFK, but the little demons won't catch any fish if they're dozing off. Given their mischievous nature, if you don't pay attention to them, more than 30 minutes of fishing will be ineffective even if you fish for an hour.
Li Hanqiang couldn't help but scold the ten fishing demons. After checking the system records, he found that the demons had indeed released all the fish they had caught. Among the released fish was a giant crab, which was also an elite mount.
Whether releasing animals is the same as free-range farming still needs to be verified. Now that he has discovered that he has missed out on another elite mount, Li Hanqiang felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He couldn't help but drag out the little demon who had released the giant crab and beat it up again.
After turning over the fish basket, Li Hanqiang obtained a blue-quality clam shell. It turned out to be a one-handed shield, which could add 20 points to both physical defense and magic resistance. Its attributes should be considered top-notch.
There's also a ceramic jar, whose attributes say it's an artifact, completely useless, but it can be sold for ten gold coins.
After Li Hanqiang threw the ceramic jar into the mysterious shop, the drug dealers came again, first targeting Big Buy, then Little Six.
The master thief yawned as he teleported to Li Hanqiang's location third, his triangular eyes darting around erratically.
Something's not right. Why are there so many empty Chaos Slabs, but only 4 defensive towers?
Why weren't all the defensive towers built on the Chaos Slab? How did that happen?
The master thief quickly discovered the rocket launch tower and the "open gun and hidden arrow" tower. The two defensive towers had strange shapes, which aroused his curiosity.
He didn't recognize what kind of defense tower it was, and he couldn't see its attribute information. According to information circulating during the closed beta, the level of a defense tower is related to its height. The height of a level 1 defense tower is between 10 and 20 meters, and the height of a level 2 defense tower is between 20 and 30 meters.
If this is true, then the two new defensive towers are only level one defensive towers.
"With two more level-one defensive towers, Li Hanqiang can defend against three waves of monster attacks?"
The master thief seemed a bit incredulous.
He absentmindedly bought a large quantity of potions and received a subsidy from Li Hanqiang, but instead of teleporting away, he smiled broadly and tried to get close to Li Hanqiang. Then, pointing at the "Open and Dark Arrows" tower, he asked, "Brother Qiang, what kind of defensive tower is this? It looks really powerful."
"This defensive tower is amazing!" Li Hanqiang beckoned, "Come with me, I'd like to conduct an experiment!"
He led the master thief to the side of the "Open and Hidden Arrows" tower and said, "Stand still!"
The master thief, unaware of the reasoning, did as instructed, glancing left and right at the rocket launch tower and the towers with both visible and hidden weapons, making wild guesses.
Li Hanqiang chuckled, pointed to the Arrow Tower, and said, "This defensive tower is called the Free Recall Tower!"
