My Chaotic City

Chapter 083 If the Tower Changes Again, I'll Be a Dog

Next, Li Hanqiang reassigned tasks to the little demons, and Xiao Zuanfeng's patrol team was officially established, with ten green-haired demons under his command.

Little Torrei also led ten red-haired demons to form a small team specializing in raiding dungeons. Li Hanqiang gave him 100 gold coins and let him do whatever he wanted.

The remaining lesser demons, apart from the ten assigned to fish at the Azure Wave Pond, and the resident lesser demons at the Demon Mountain Farm, Lumber Mill, Herb Garden, and Mine, all went to the Herb Mountain Workshop.

"We need to build a few more void platforms as backup; this opportunity to rob is for those who are prepared..."

Li Hanqiang lamented that the accumulation of resources in Demon Mountain was too slow. Based on experience, the three major resources of Demon Mountain—ore, herbs, and wood—only increased by about five points a day. Even if there were targets to rob, the limited resources would make it impossible to rob every day.

A moment later, Li Hanqiang returned to Chaos City Square, where slimes were everywhere and very crowded. Xiang Mang had no choice but to lead the slimes into the Demon Mountain Cave.

Those slimes were just ordinary soldiers, without any personality traits. They were quite dull and slow-moving, which made Xiang Mang a little impatient.

Fortunately, a chubby guy came along. He was indeed able to command slimes, so Xiang Mang took him in as a subordinate and simply let him manage the slimes.

The chubby guy seemed to really enjoy the job; as a Level 1 fighter, he wielded his spiked club with a touch of swagger.

However, just as Li Hanqiang had predicted, the chubby guy was now just a regular monster with the same attributes as the regular monster. He couldn't command the elite-level Golden Horn Slime and Silver Horn Slime at all, let alone the boss-level Flame Demon Three-Headed Tiger.

These three giant monsters are now equivalent to Xiang Mang's direct guards, and Xiang Mang placed the Golden Horned Slime and Silver Horned Slime on the Chaos Stone Slabs on both sides of the city gate, making them gatekeepers.

Li Hanqiang sighed and muttered, "It seems that building barracks space is still very necessary. The little monk is currently level nine, just one level away from being able to start the 14th wave of monster siege."

He pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly. Resisting the monster siege was still the main way for Chaos City to develop. However, starting from the 14th wave of monster siege, the siege monsters were a mixed force, both in the air and on the ground, launching a three-dimensional siege. Li Hanqiang felt that the firepower of his own defensive towers was not keeping up.

With nearly 20,000 slimes, Li Hanqiang could easily defend the city head-on, even if the defensive towers were a bit weak. However, he wasn't just aiming for a successful defense.

"The number of Chaos Tablets is limited, so building more basic defensive towers doesn't make much sense. Should we try a second way to use the tower transformation?"

The moment the thought popped into Li Hanqiang's mind, he couldn't suppress it.

The first way to use Tower Transformation is to mutate a single defensive tower, while the second way is to combine multiple defensive towers.

This synthesis also carries risks; failure will result in the loss of a defensive tower, and at least two defensive towers are required to synthesize it, which would require at least twenty points of chaos energy.

What Li Hanqiang has no shortage of right now is chaotic energy, so he immediately started experimenting, first choosing two sword towers to synthesize.

"Ding! Twenty points of Chaos Energy consumed. Tower Transformation Talent successfully activated. Your two Sword Towers will be combined..."

"Ding! Synthesis successful! You have obtained a level 2 mutated defensive tower, the Twin Sword Tower!"

Li Hanqiang's mind raced, and he saw the two sword towers he had chosen suddenly emit white light, then merge into one. The second sword tower disappeared, while the first sword tower suddenly became twenty feet tall, and the top of the tower was no longer a single sword, but two swords.

[Dual Sword Tower: Level 2 defensive tower, mutated tower. Range 100 meters, can simultaneously unleash two intersecting sword beams per second. Each sword beam deals piercing damage, inflicting 80 points of damage on the first target hit, and reducing damage by 10 points for each subsequent target pierced, up to a maximum of eight targets.]

Synthesis successful!

However, after studying the attributes of the Twin Sword Tower, Li Hanqiang felt that it wasn't very profitable.

Although the Twin Sword Tower is a level 2 defensive tower, its attack power may not actually be equivalent to two sword towers combined; it's just like stacking two sword towers together.

"It's alright, at least the Twin Sword Towers look more majestic, and their durability is 20,000 points, making them harder to dismantle," Li Hanqiang thought to himself.

He tried to combine two sword towers again, but this time he failed, losing twenty points of chaotic energy and a sword tower in vain.

"What a huge loss!" Li Hanqiang exclaimed, but he couldn't control himself. Seeing that there were still two sword towers left, he decided to synthesize them again.

"Ding, synthesis failed, one of your sword towers will be destroyed..."

"Holy shit!" Li Hanqiang cursed. Forty points of Chaos Energy and two Sword Towers were gone just like that!

The "Open Attack" and "Hidden Arrow" towers have a guaranteed death attribute, so Li Hanqiang was unwilling to risk using them. The remaining basic slow towers, beast hunters, and flame towers were also not worth risking. Li Hanqiang had just robbed more than 900 gold coins, gave 100 to Little Torrei, and had 800 left. He simply bought 6 basic arrow towers and 1 basic slow tower.

The blueprint for the basic slowing tower costs 200 gold coins. The reason he bought it is because Li Hanqiang has a bit of OCD. Currently, there is only one slowing tower in his Chaos City, which is asymmetrical and doesn't look good.

After building these defensive towers, Li Hanqiang was somewhat conflicted.

The basic slow towers don't need to be changed for now, but should the 6 newly built basic arrow towers be single-tower mutations or multi-tower synthesiss?

"If the arrow towers are like the sword towers, combining them only adds up their attributes, which is obviously not profitable. It's better to mutate each tower individually, and we can also gamble on the rocket launch tower!" After a moment's thought, Li Hanqiang decided to mutate the six basic arrow towers individually first, and then combine them depending on the situation.

After a series of operations, only two of the six arrow towers successfully mutated, resulting in one sword tower and one tower with both visible and hidden arrows.

The Sword Tower with its open and hidden attacks should naturally be retained, but Li Hanqiang couldn't resist the urge to merge the towers. In order to achieve symmetry in the defensive towers, he combined the newly created Sword Tower with the Sword Tower that had just "survived" and hoped to create another double Sword Tower.

As a result, he failed!

In summary, 800 gold coins are only equivalent to buying one Open Attack/Hidden Arrow Tower and one basic Slow Tower, and also consume 80 Chaos Energy.

Adding to the losses from the previous tower merging, Li Hanqiang was frustrated to find that after his magical operation, which cost a total of 800 gold coins and 120 Chaos Energy, he was still missing one defensive tower at home!

"I've lost everything!" Li Hanqiang exclaimed. "Transforming the tower will bankrupt three generations, merging the tower will ruin your life. I can't afford to play this game! I can't afford to play this game! If I don't snatch the little angel back, I'll be a dog if I transform the tower again!"

李汉强现在混沌城的防御塔配製是：烈焰塔×1、基础缓速塔×2、双剑塔×1、剑塔×1、明枪暗箭塔×10、捕兽侠×1，一共16座。

After calculating the firepower of the defensive towers, Li Hanqiang felt that there was no significant improvement, so he decided not to consider starting the 14th wave of monster siege for the time being.

He plunged into the blue pond and started fishing.
