If encountering a large number of monsters, you need to use more turrets to suppress firepower, otherwise you can only upgrade the turrets to reduce cooldown time.
Half-meter purple dream roses still stood proudly in the snow, most of the snowstorm beasts scratched by it stood still. The time delayed by advancing provided the turrets with attack time.
Their sufficient numbers allowed some to slip through the net.
Their speed in the snow was not slow, about one meter per second. Covered by fluffy fur, they looked like ghosts.
In front of Athena, a big mouth appeared under the fluffy eyes of the furball, filled with sharp shark teeth.
Launching an attack on her.
Athena raised the axe in her hand and chopped towards its head. Without any blood, the slain snowstorm beasts decomposed like in a game.

Experience +16
Sitting on the steps of the wooden house, she rested and opened her personal attribute panel. The experience value on it had risen to 22.
100 experience points could be exchanged for one point of free attribute, but there weren't many places like hers where so many snow beasts attacked.
How long would it take for other players to accumulate 100 experience points?
"Convert all"
Successfully converted to 0.2 free attribute points, with 2 experience points remaining.
The minimum conversion amount is 10 points of experience, which can be converted into 0.1 attribute points.
"Add 0.2 points to strength."
It's the fifth day, but she had already triggered a double buff. The refresh rate, which was extremely rare, had increased by more than ten times by the time it reached her.
As the true first round of monster spawns on the 7th day approached, the monsters would only increase, but there was a limit.
Those coming now were just the vanguard, the main force was still behind. Among them, it was impossible for all of them to be these grunts, there must be boss units.
She had to take advantage of now to brush these low-attack small monsters as much as possible, and gain more experience to strengthen herself.

16 snow beasts, 30% drop rate, not a single one triggered...
Normally, everyone should be similar to herself. Monsters wouldn't respawn continuously in a short time, this was a conclusion reached by Athena herself and everyone in the chat channel.
At the beginning, when monsters spawned, everyone was on high alert, in case there were monster ambushes. Although in the game, monster respawns had a specific time, but here it wasn't a real game, it was reality. No one knew the variables, no one dared to be careless.
So everyone didn't sleep well on the first night, including Athena. Since knowing that monsters wouldn't respawn in a short time, Athena planned to rest indoors.
After thinking for a while, she decided to try her luck in the trading panel. But as soon as she opened the system panel, she found 99+ unread messages.
All of them were from one person, the one who wanted to sell [Defense Turret Blueprint (Basic)] to her before.
She opened it.
-- Are you there?
-- Are you there?
...
-- Boss! I've been thinking, we can still discuss the price!
-- Are you there?
The reason why the other party was so urgent was because while Athena was refreshing monsters, other places nearby were also refreshing at the same time.
-- Are you there?
-- !! You haven't replied to me all this time, I thought you didn't want it anymore. Just give me some food, water, and building materials, and I want to exchange for a ranged weapon that I can use too!
-- And also, I need medicine! Quick, you must have some! We can trade now!
-- Are you still there?
He had just refreshed two monsters, because the first one he refreshed was killed by him in a fierce battle. Not only that, but it also dropped a sparkling cyan package, which gave him the [Defense Turret Blueprint (Basic)], boosting his confidence.
So when refreshing monsters this time, he didn't pay much attention, thinking that he could easily win. While he was busy chasing and fighting one of the monsters, he was ambushed by another monster, and his knife fell from his hand.
The snowstorm beast pressed down on him, opening its mouth full of sharp teeth towards him. He could even see the shape of each tooth. If it wasn't for the last moment when he felt the knife and stabbed it into the snowstorm beast's mouth with all his strength.
Now he was already a corpse, but even so, when he wounded the snowstorm beast on his body. But his leg was bitten by another snowstorm beast that hadn't died yet and bleeding. Its sharp teeth had easily pierced his skin, leaving a deep wound on his leg.

The bleeding couldn't be stopped at all. He contacted everyone he could, hoping to exchange for what he needed, even exhausting his typing limit in the chat channel.
Athena was the only person he knew who might be able to meet his request.
Unfortunately...
Athena looked at the messages he sent. Apart from the price, she didn't even have the things he needed.
It seemed that she was destined to be unable to obtain the [Defense Turret Blueprint (Basic)].
--> I simply don't have what you need, sorry please try someone else.
-- You do!
-- Hurry!
Athena looked at the messages he kept sending and chose to block him directly. She closed her eyes for a moment, offering peace. Athena knows what's happening to the guy right now.
"He's going to die... "
After this round of monster refresh, it seemed that everyone had obtained a lot of things.
There were more items in the trade section than yesterday, but the asking price for each one was higher, most of them were unrealistic. And even if someone sincerely wanted to trade, they would immediately be snatched away by others.
After squatting for a while, Athena realized that she still couldn't grab anything, just like before because of her slow reaction.
----------------------------------------
Darkness is encroaching on the world 10, 9, 8... 0
But the continuously refreshing items in the trade section made her realize that even if these guys had fewer monsters than her, they would still drop packages. The system didn't deceive people; its drop rate was real.
Even Athena couldn't deceive herself.
It's okay... Each event has specific number of rewards regardless of how many one killed, isn't it?
A moment of bad luck wouldn't last forever. Although she didn't gain anything in the event, [ Big Bear ] brought her good news.
-- I opened that box, really thank you for trading it to me.
--> Taking 50% is too much, I'll take 40%. Player [ Big Bear ] transfers "???", you receive 60%, do you accept?
Yes / No ?
Athena saw that the other party really transferred 60%. It was the first time she had encountered someone bargaining in reverse, allowing her to see the difference between others' hands and her own.
"Yes"
To be honest, she didn't have much hope.
You obtain 1 World Stone, 1 Defense Turret (Basic), 1 Moonlight Bow and Arrow, 1 Arrow Crafting Box, 3 Special Ores!
[ World Stone ] Grade Ungraded item Description Triggered on rare and specific occasions, can be used to open the Gate of the World.

Very good!
These things far exceeded Athena's expectations. Athena immediately picked up the Defense Turret Blueprint and set it up at the door.
After selecting the materials, she successfully obtained the third turret.
You already have three basic defense towers, do you want to combine them into an intermediate defense tower?
Yes / No ?
After combining into an intermediate defense turret, it would definitely reduce the loading time.
"Yes!"
Congratulations on the first tower synthesis!
Note: The current achievement section has not been updated, no system rewards.
Warm white light emanated in the darkness. The three defensive towers merged into one, turning silver-gray in color, with two barrels facing directly at the door, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
[ Defense Tower (Intermediate) ] Defense 10 Attack 10 Skill Double damage probability 10%, fires two cannonballs every second.
----------------------------------------
You have entered the 6th day, the army of monsters is approaching. According to your progress speed, the monsters refreshed in your location will double again!
Unknowingly, midnight had arrived.
