Although the gift pack contained many items, none of them had any immediate effect. Li Hanqiang could only say that his luck was neither good nor bad. However, he was very much looking forward to the [Special Monster Summoning Token].

Special monsters and random events only have a small chance of triggering during monster sieges, but they can bring huge benefits. For example, the old black boar in the first monster siege contributed 100 gold coins at once, and the treasure chest monster in the second wave of monsters, although it only drops skill books for adventurer classes, cannot deny its value.

To be fair, Li Hanqiang was quite lucky to encounter both the flying black pig and the treasure chest monster in succession, especially since the system clearly stated that these were low-probability events.

Of course, it's also possible that this was intentionally arranged by the system to enhance the Chaos City Lord's gaming experience.

The special monster summoning token undoubtedly made Li Hanqiang even more excited about the third monster. Without hesitation, he immediately launched the third wave of monster siege and issued a city defense mission.

The mission announcement is as follows: "Li Hanqiang, the city lord of Chaos City No. 68, has issued a city defense mission. He just obtained a super powerful universal skill book. The third wave of monster siege is about to begin, and special monsters are guaranteed to spawn. Don't hesitate, come and defend the city! In addition, we are buying all Chaos City Lord-related items at high prices, including defense tower blueprints, blueprint fragments, and special construction blueprints. Satisfying prices guaranteed. For details, please inquire in the city."

As soon as Li Hanqiang posted the message, he quickly received a system notification that the gold coins had been credited to his account. The three teleportation tickets had been sold, and Li Hanqiang guessed that they were bought by Dark Night Redemption, Fan Knight, and Ignition Sword Saint.

Of course, these three people bought their tickets quickly just to reserve a spot; they weren't in a hurry to arrive and wanted to make some preparations.

Taking advantage of the ample time for preparation, Li Hanqiang began laying stone slabs.

He placed the four newly acquired Chaos Stones near the spacetime tunnel, combining them with the first Chaos Stone, thus creating five player positions near the spacetime wormhole.

This was specifically designed by Li Hanqiang for melee players, while ranged players could place it on the four scattered stone slabs behind it.

Just as the Chaos Slab was placed, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky. Li Hanqiang looked closely and saw a player appear on the Chaos Slab at the very front. It was neither Dark Night Redemption nor Fan Feng.

The player concealed his nickname and class information. He was only level 2, had a large belly, looked greasy, was balding, and had a gentle, smiling smile, like a Maitreya Buddha.

"You must be Li Hanqiang, the city lord of Chaos City No. 68. I saw that you posted a purchase request in the city defense mission. Come, come, I have a good item here. See how much you can offer to buy it." The pot-bellied player opened his storage space and soon a golden scroll appeared in his hand.

Blueprint for Azure Wave Pool: A special item. When used by the Lord of Chaos City, it allows him to create space within the Chaos City area and construct Azure Wave Pool.

The Azure Wave Pool is a scenic spot building. After its construction, it slightly increases the chance of special monsters appearing during monster sieges. In addition, it has a mysterious function. The Azure Wave Pool has an initial size of 20 acres and can provide the [Fishing] activity. By fulfilling hidden conditions, the Azure Wave Pool can be expanded and upgraded. Players are encouraged to explore for themselves.

PS: Using this item requires consuming 100 Chaos Energy from the Heart of Chaos and successfully repelling the third wave of monster attacks.

"This is good stuff."

Li Hanqiang was very interested when he saw the attribute information of the scroll in the big-bellied player's hand, but he didn't show any reaction on the surface.

"How about it? Not bad, right?" The pot-bellied player put the golden scroll away again. "There's only one of these, it wasn't easy to get, we won't sell it for less than the price!"

"How many do you want?" Li Hanqiang asked.

The pot-bellied player held up one finger and laughed, "Ten thousand gold coins!"

"Ten thousand gold coins?" Li Hanqiang's eyes widened. "Are you crazy for gold coins?"

The portly player wasn't annoyed and said leisurely, "This is a blueprint for a special building, extremely rare. If you miss it, you might never see a second one. Ten thousand gold coins? It's not much at all!"

Li Hanqiang laughed in anger, saying, "Brother, today is the first day Chaos City is open. Check your pockets, how many gold coins do you have? Let alone that I don't even have 10,000 gold coins right now, even if I did, I couldn't possibly buy a blueprint like this. After all, that Azure Wave Pool only provides one leisure activity; what other use can it have? Your price is outrageous!"

The pot-bellied player pursed his lips: "That's true, but if we don't have gold coins, we can trade with cash, although I prefer gold coins."

Li Hanqiang waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's be frank. This blueprint is somewhat interesting, but only somewhat interesting. It's not a necessity and won't bring huge profits. Don't ask for an exorbitant price. In my opinion, ten gold coins will do."

"Ten gold coins?" The pot-bellied player waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother, don't be ridiculous. You think you can buy this blueprint for ten gold coins? Although players don't have many gold coins right now, didn't we say we can trade for cash? This game is so popular, there must be a lot of rich players. I think it shouldn't be difficult to sell this blueprint for tens or hundreds of thousands of gold coins. What do you think?"

"In that case, brother, why don't you go find a rich guy?" Li Hanqiang shook his head. Although he was not short of money, he did not want to be taken advantage of.

"Brother, why don't you reconsider? How about... 8000 gold coins, or a cash transaction of 100,000 yuan?" The pot-bellied player suddenly felt guilty. He had used a teleportation ticket worth 1 gold coin to come here. If he didn't sell anything, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?

Li Hanqiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "How about we try a different way of trading?"

"What transaction method?" The pot-bellied player seemed to see a glimmer of hope, revealing an expectant expression.

"Take a look at the mysterious shop behind you," Li Hanqiang pointed behind the pot-bellied player.

The pot-bellied player turned his head, somewhat puzzled, and opened the window panel of the Mysterious Shop, saying, "Huh, there's another shop? These items... the prices are a bit off. A bottle of basic potion only costs 10 silver coins outside, but it's selling for 12 silver coins here! That's outrageous!"

He turned to look at Li Hanqiang, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Li Hanqiang adopted a mysterious demeanor, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "Are you buying the potion or not?"
