C33 The Powerful Treasure Room
As the wolf pack entered the Defense Tower's attack radius, the Storm Tower initiated the assault.
A surge of green magic gathered atop the tower before unleashing a tempest, sending a fierce gale hurtling towards the monsters.
The howling wind morphed into a tornado, striking the wolves with unrelenting force.
Caught in its grasp, the wolves were hurled to the ground, and beneath the fury of the storm, not one survived.
"That Storm Tower is incredibly powerful!"
Qiang Nantie was thrilled. The Storm Tower's might far surpassed that of the Raging Flame Tower, and its reach extended several times further.
The wolves, over a dozen packs, were decimated with ease.
At level 20, the Storm Tower's ability to obliterate a level 5 wolf pack was to be expected.
The Raging Flame Tower quickly followed suit, unleashing its Flame Attack. A fiery orb tumbled forth, erupting amidst the wolves and incinerating five or six in a blazing inferno.
Qiang Nantie and his companions stood at the gate, having boosted the eight Vine Demons' levels and outfitted them with suitable gear. With their enhanced capabilities, they could easily best a level 5 wolf pack.
The day's monsters were far more formidable than the previous day's.
Yet, the addition of another Defense Tower significantly bolstered the defenses, tightening the stranglehold on the creatures.
It was some time before a few straggler wolves made their charge.
"Attack!"
Ruan Shijia, Le Cili, and the others took up arms and charged at the wolves. Alas, the monsters were few and the defenders many. The wolves were swiftly dispatched.
Their prowess was overwhelming, their quality unmatched. These low-level beasts stood no chance against them.
Qiang Nantie activated the Storm Tower, calling forth its Storm Slash ability.
In an instant, a barrage of Wind Blades erupted, filling the sky with a deadly dance that decimated the wolf pack.
Not a single creature survived the onslaught of Wind Blades.
Hundreds of treasure chests lay in quiet repose on the ground.
"Wow, that was intense!" Qiang Nantie exclaimed, astonished.
He had never imagined the Storm Tower's Wind Blade Slash could be so devastating, wiping out hundreds of wolves in a single, swift strike.
The wolf pack hadn't completely vanished; deep within the forest, another large pack was still making its way toward the territory.
"It's only day three, and I can't believe the number of monsters already," he marveled.
Yesterday, the monsters numbered just over a hundred, but today, their ranks had swelled to several hundred. And still, they kept coming.
Qiang Nantie was thrilled by this development. More monsters meant more rewards, and these creatures posed no threat to him whatsoever.
Soon, the number of wolves surged again, yet few managed to reach the defensive wall. Those that did were swiftly dispatched.
The timing was perfect; as several Elite Wolves made their appearance, it coincided with the half-hour mark of the Raging Flame Tower's Flame Attack. A torrent of fire rained down from above, obliterating every monster in the vicinity.
The third day of the Newbie Trial concluded with the battle's end and the tallying of rewards!
Qiang Nantie and his allies had vanquished 150 Level 5 Black Wolves, 150 Level 5 White Wolves, 150 Level 5 Ash Wolves, 50 Level 6 Red Wolves, and five Level 6 Elite White Wolves.
Battle Evaluation: SSS
Rewards: The basic reward included 2000 Soul Coins, 2000 Spirit Coins, and a basic building warehouse. The additional reward for the high evaluation was 4000 Soul Coins, 4000 Spirit Coins, and a Weapon Refinery building.
"Fantastic!"
Today's battle had been even easier than yesterday's, and the rewards were substantially greater. He had earned a whopping 6000 Soul Coins, which was like sending coal in snowy weather for his territory.
Acquiring two more buildings was also a stroke of good fortune. A high evaluation certainly yielded great benefits.
"Gather all the treasure chests outside!" Qiang Nantie commanded his team.
"Understood!"
With many hands, the work was done quickly. Plus, he was finally spared from handling these tasks himself—a true perk of lordship.
Qiang Nantie then set about constructing the two newly acquired buildings.
"You have successfully built the warehouse. The warehouse has evolved into a Treasure Room."
"You have successfully built the Weapon Refinery. The Weapon Refinery has evolved into a Divine Arsenal."

This Treasure Room is quite fascinating, with hidden attributes to boot.
From the description, Qiang Nantie could tell that this Treasure Room was far from ordinary, yet specific conditions were necessary to unveil its hidden attributes.
It was clear that he needed to deposit a significant amount of treasures, or those of high quality, to activate these hidden features.
This was an issue for him to ponder in the future.

Introduction: Stores all kinds of treasures. The more and the higher the quality of the treasures stored, the more unexpected the rewards.
The addition of a new attribute to the Treasure Room took Qiang Nantie by surprise.
This attribute was truly remarkable.
As he understood, the Lord's World was rife with countless damaged treasures.
Countless fragmented cultivation methods, skills, and pieces of equipment abounded.
The thought of his Treasure Room restoring those treasures filled him with immense excitement.
Indeed, his Treasure Room possessed such an impressive feature. It must be said, the Treasure Room was truly remarkable.
"Too bad I don't currently possess any high-level treasures; otherwise, I could test the Treasure Room's hidden capabilities."
He transferred all the gear from the Overlord Space into the Treasure Room, allowing him to have a clear inventory of the items within his domain.
Moreover, he granted everyone in his territory access to the Treasure Room's storage capabilities. Now, when they collected treasure chests, they could immediately deposit them into the Treasure Room.
"Can these treasure chests really stack?"
Qiang Nantie was surprised to discover that the treasure chests in the Treasure Room could indeed be stacked. Chests of identical quality could be stacked up to 99 times, which was incredibly convenient.
