Athena in Tower Defense Game! [LitRPG]

In a warm and cozy room, a short-haired girl lay on the bed, wrapped in blankets, flipping through chat channels incessantly. Meanwhile, amidst a fierce struggle for survival among other players, she was the only one player who seemed to navigate the challenges of the past days without any struggles at all.

"Haha." Whenever she stumbled upon amusing messages akin to that of social media, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, though she dared only to chuckle secretly under her blanket.

The wood goblins, busy tidying up the house nearby, had grown accustomed to this.

Big Bear, catching on, flushed red, her voice much lighter than her laughter just now, sounding almost like a mosquito. "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'll control myself next time, I promise!"

The wood goblins knew their young master's temperament very well by now. Apologies were one thing; whether she would change next time was another matter.

Big Bear had been living comfortably by selling woods earlier on. Despite everyone being busy with various tasks later on, the rate of tree cutting remained low. She still relied on woods to live a prosperous life.

Many woods asked by [ Ask-The-Heavens ] were also purchased from her.

Outside, there was a row of turrets, and with her extreme luck on opening packages, she even got many rare ones.

With wood goblins guarding the door, she never worried about monsters attacking the turrets.

Except for food and entertainment, which couldn't match up to [ Water Sprite ], everything else was going well.

When she had nothing to do, her favorite pastime was screen peeping.

At this moment, the other wood goblinss who were chopping wood came back. One of them, obviously older, hurried over to her.

Looking at her with deep eyes, he said, "Young master, it's time for today's training."

Big Bear grinned awkwardly, then excitedly showed the system panel to the old wood goblins again.

On it was a message just sent by [ Big Dream ].

Athena hadn't said anything else yet when she noticed that everyone replied to her messages almost instantly. Were people other than her peeping at screens always, if not, most of the time?

Thinking that the other party might have a good relationship with wood goblinss and fearing that [ Big Bear ] might misunderstand her intentions, she added, "Just for verification purposes, it won't have any other effects."

Two consecutive "okay"s made Athena feel the other party's joy.

She frowned. Why was [ Big Bear ] so unusually pleased? But she still patiently proceeded with the transaction.

This price was actually quite fair. After all, there was probably only [ Big Bear ] who owned wood goblins now. Athena had no other way to obtain them, so [ Big Bear ] essentially monopolized them. If Athena could really enter the goblins instance and capture one or two goblinss, then this transaction would definitely be worth it.

If [ Big Bear ] wanted to raise the price, she had no better option.

Big Bear was unusually excited at this moment. She showed the system panel to the wood goblins, and the wood goblins, knowing what the human on the other side wanted to do, nodded. But for it, there was no sentiment among its kind. Or perhaps it was the same for all wood goblins; their group consciousness was almost non-existent.

One plucked three hairs from its head and handed them to Big Bear, agreeing to the transaction.

Big Bear eagerly initiated the trade.

Watching the other party be so generous in sending the trade, Athena even had a feeling that she might have paid too much. Suppressing this strange feeling, she clicked on the trade.

She had 43 silver coins left.

Big Bear watched as her silver coin count increased by one on the system panel and boasted to the old goblins.

Timidly, she asked, "I made money today. Can I take a day off?"

The old goblins nodded somewhat helplessly, and Big Bear excitedly jumped in her blanket.

Athena paused for a moment, feeling the hairs in her hand. [ Big Bear ] used to apologize a lot before, but now she seemed to prefer saying thank you. Well, it was others' freedom to say whatever they liked; she had no right to intervene.

She carefully examined the three resilient green hairs in her hand. Opening the system store, she found white liquor for sale, as well as some cheap beer. Unable to resist the temptation, she spent three silver coins on a bottle of very good white liquor.

With everything ready, all that was left was to wait for darkness to fall.

The countdown in purple font ended.

"Witty, Paopao, could you two go and harvest the vegetables?" When Athena spoke, the two were still sharing food, each taking a bite in turn.

Upon hearing Athena's words, they obediently put down their food and went outside. Witty lay comfortably in Athena's arms, stretching lazily. Athena lifted it up and said, "What are you waiting for? You should go too."

Witty promptly followed along, not lagging behind.

Athena had no intention of idling either. She got up and walked out, arriving at the courtyard outside.

With her mental control, walls of earth rose up one by one. Standing atop one wall, she controlled the changes below while simultaneously controlling her own body, leaping to another wall and altering it.

Before one wall could change position, she jumped to the next direction at lightning speed. There was a moment where she nearly fell due to lack of coordination, but she managed to regain control just before reaching the critical point.

Yes, she intended to use this method to train not only her physical control but also her mental strength. She aimed to become stronger every minute and every second.

Even when her head began to ache, she didn't stop, pushing through until the pain became piercing, almost reaching the breaking point, before stopping.

She then took out her bow and arrow and began practicing repeatedly.

After the bow and arrow, she moved on to the axe. When her mental faculties had recovered enough, she summoned earth walls again.

Eventually, she ran directly on the walls, practicing with the axe and bow and arrow while running.

Her physical fitness was evident. Within a few short hours in the afternoon, the results of her training were already beginning to show.

Athena continued her relentless training until nightfall.

Wiping the sweat off her face with her sleeve, she put away her tools and brought back the earth walls, dragging her tired body back to the wooden house.

As usual, she glanced at the regional chat channel.
