Athena in Tower Defense Game! [LitRPG]

0009 – Defense Turrets

Opening her own trading application, Athena looked at several requests but did not immediately agree. Athena let the system automatically arrange the value list of trading applications in ascending and descending order for her.

Adhering to the idea of ​​one more person's share of resources equals one share of resources, she basically selected everything she could use.

By the time she finished selecting, it had been more than half an hour. She moved her sour fingers a bit and used the system's multi-selection function for the first time, so she could send them all at once.

Once the information exchange is completed, the other party can skip confidentiality and it's equivalent to one-time profit. Some people plan to buy her information and then use the time difference to resell it to others.

To avoid too much time difference, she used the multi-selection function. She couldn't avoid such people, so she could only further reduce her own losses.

After multi-selecting and clicking on the trade at once, her inbox instantly overflowed! Her system backpack is limited, with a total of ten slots, each slot can hold 100 units of things.

The overflowed items began to be neatly placed in the corners of the wooden house.

Packed full.

34 bottles of mineral water, 42 pieces of compressed biscuits, 4 kilograms of berries, 3 kilograms of edible mushrooms, 327 units of wood, 468 units of stone, 504 units of special weeds.

Athena couldn't help but feel lucky that she had upgraded her wooden house in advance, otherwise there would be no place to put these things. Looking at this pile of goods like a mountain, Athena felt a sense of accomplishment.

It seems that for a while, she can be a little girl who loves to chop wood because she likes it, rather than being forced to chop wood.

"But if this method works, can I sell the information given in purple font in the future?"

Hmm...

"Then in the future, I will sell the information brought by the lost souls."

Well, this is blocking all my ways. But isn't it not allowed to buy, rather than not allowed to sell?

It seems that such a good thing will only happen once, I should have just collected all those messy things earlier.

But those messy things not only have no place to put, but also have no use.

Forget it, let's sleep first.

She has stayed up late today and is exhausted. Even in this broken place, sleeping early and waking up early is good for the body and helps her maintain her skin. And only by sleeping early at night can she have enough energy to get up early tomorrow and increase her daytime exploration time.

The last time I got up early every day was for going to school, but one was mental torture, and the other was physical torture. Going to school must be the former.

As Athena entered dreamland, the regional chat channel was still tirelessly discussing the system update.

Because she slept late yesterday, Athena did not wake up on time today. Yesterday's unexpected harvest was indeed a pleasant surprise, because of these surprises, she could relax a little today.

Calmly getting out of bed, she rekindled the fire. She cooked a mushroom and berry soup and took a sip.

"The savory aroma of mushrooms mixed with the sweetness of berries, it's truly..."

"...nothing special."

Athena grabbed her hair a couple of times and tied it up with a rubber band. With an axe in hand, she prepared to start today's exploration. Today, she wouldn't chop wood; instead, she would explore this forest properly.

Walking into the courtyard, she took out two blueprints for defensive turrets. Placing them where they were to be built, to the far left and far right of the small wooden house.

"Yes"

A familiar white light flashed, and two turret-like structures appeared in the courtyard. Their pitch-black color scheme, reflective metal shells, and long barrels facing outward gave them a daunting presence.

Athena reached out and touched them, feeling their sturdiness. Even someone like her, who wasn't a military enthusiast, was captivated. If those military fans saw them, wouldn't they go crazy on the spot?

"Alright, from now on, you'll be my guardians on the left and right!"

Carrying her large axe, she headed outside. While other girls wielded weapons like whips or swords, she carried an axe every day.

The deeper she went into the woods, the more she felt that something was wrong here. In such a vast forest, it was eerily quiet.

Occasionally, only the sound of the cold wind blowing through the leaves could be heard, which was particularly harsh in this silent forest. If it weren't for encountering other fierce beasts, it was because there used to be a dominant long-tailed bear here, which Athena had killed. However, the absence of any birds or other animals seemed very strange.

Today, going inwards was also about testing her luck because a fellow had said he caught a rabbit before.

But obviously, it didn't apply in a forest like Athena's.

Continuing on for another 100 meters, the color of the trees and tree trunks around her gradually darkened, and the patterns on them began to look eerie, like human faces. The dense foliage gradually blocked the sunlight from coming in, making it darker inside.

Athena finally stopped at the boundary between light and darkness, choosing not to venture further inside. She felt that her exploration was already thorough enough, and the place further inside was not something she could enter now.

Athena stared at the dark forest ahead and retreated, feeling uneasy with every glance inside.

She chose to go left and explore further.

To her surprise, she saw a familiar plant here.
