Chapter 82 Giant Yellow Duck
"A pheasant can evolve into a Tyrannosaurus Rex..."
Lei Chi figured Xiao Qinghe wouldn't be so bored as to joke with him. He thought he could give it a try, and if it worked, everyone would be happy.
As for obtaining the [Wild Chicken Construction Blueprint], that depends on luck.
A moment later, Lei Chi purchased 22 blueprints for Tier 1 defense towers at the City Defense Center, spending almost all the gold he had earned from the Arena.
[City Defense Center] No matter what level it is upgraded to, it only sells blueprints for Tier 1 defense towers. Lei Chi hopes to gamble for a [Wild Chicken Blueprint], but unfortunately, his efforts are in vain. He gets blueprints for [Bear Blueprint], [Elephant Blueprint], [Tiger Blueprint], and so on.
After defeating the 13th wave of monster invasion, the tower blueprint recycling function is unlocked, allowing you to sell unwanted tower construction blueprints to the system shop at an 80% discount.
Lei Chi hadn't sold or used the blueprints he'd collected before; he'd just left them in the [City Defense Center]. After a moment's thought, he decided to keep at most two of the same blueprints and sell the duplicates, such as the [Little Tiger's Construction Blueprint] and the [Little Sea Turtle's Construction Blueprint]. Lei Chi didn't keep any of them, not even the [Porcupine's Construction Blueprint].
He sold the blueprints for gold coins and continued to buy random blueprints, keeping the unique ones and reselling the duplicates.
After repeating this process, Lei Chi quickly ran out of gold coins, leaving him with only 5. He had accumulated 28 blueprints for the Tier 1 Beast Tower, but unfortunately, he hadn't gotten the [Wild Chicken Blueprint].
These 28 blueprints are all for building melee beast towers, 14 pairs: two blueprints each for [Leopard], [Hyena], [Bear], [Volley Bear], [Baby Elephant], [Baby Rhinoceros], [Baby Lion], [Crocodile], [Baby Hippo], [Wild Horse], [Wild Wolf], [Gray Wolf], [Stray Cat], and [Little Wildcat]!
The reason why two blueprints for each type of Beast Tower were kept was naturally because of Lei Chi's obsessive-compulsive disorder; he felt that the Beast Towers should be arranged symmetrically to look good.
"Defense towers are more about quality than quantity. However, I have stealth technology, so I can put unused defense towers into stealth mode. Why not build all these small towers and see what their specific attributes are? Who knows which ones might turn out to be useful later? Anyway, my war corridor is long enough, and this will also increase the camp's defense index..."
Lei Chi then went to the War Corridor and used all 28 construction blueprints.
Since they are all melee towers, the Thunder Pool was built side by side at the very front of the War Corridor to achieve symmetry, and arranged according to the size of the Beast Towers, from small to large.
Most of these smaller towers require accumulating enemy kills to advance to a higher tier. If it's a "small [something]", it can generally be advanced to a "large [something]". For the beast towers that are not "small [something]", some require materials to advance, while others have hidden advancement conditions that players need to discover on their own.
After studying them, Lei Chi discovered that these small towers, at least for now, had no value in being upgraded.
"There's no need to set these melee towers to stealth mode anymore... I still have five lone defensive towers here, namely [Big White Dove], [Thunder Lizard], [Paw Bear], [Azure Dragon], and [Sabertooth Tiger]. In addition, there are three [Big Tiger] towers..."
Lei Chi checked the camp information panel. He now has a total of 32 Beast Towers. If all the Beast Towers are not lurking, the camp's defense index can reach 465!
A moment later, Lei Chi retrieved four [Flame Gems] from Hua Tianbao.
Hua Tianbao can trade online and offline. Although he hasn't unlocked the [Ancient Bloodline] technology yet, he has already started accumulating [Flame Gems]. After seeing Lei Chi, he generously gave him four.
With these four [Flame Gems] in hand, Lei Chi can upgrade the Tier 2 [Big Rubber Duck] to the Tier 3 [Giant Rubber Duck].
"The giant rubber duck can evolve into a white swan, or into a giant rubber duck. The former requires unlocking the [Magical Bloodline] technology, while the latter requires unlocking the [Ancient Bloodline] technology... As for the white swan, perhaps we'll meet again someday!"
Lei Chi immediately used the [Flame Gem], and the [Rubber Ducks] on both sides of the war corridor flapped their wings at the same time, quacking three times. Their size grew rapidly, and in just three breaths, they had grown to nearly 5 meters tall. They were still basically in the shape of a cute, chubby duck, only their feathers were more yellow.
That "yellow" was the yellow of burning flames, a bit dazzling, with a slight reddish tinge. From a distance, it looked as if two giant ducks were on fire.

"Continuously spewing flames, wow, this giant rubber duck is almost like a fire-breathing dragon! Its fourth-stage form is a firebird; I wonder if the firebird will evolve into a phoenix or a vermilion bird later on... It's a pity that the giant rubber duck's fire damage cannot be stacked with similar damage types; Brother Bao is probably going to be disappointed!"
Lei Chi was quite pleased with himself. The two [Big Rubber Ducks] had been upgraded to [Giant Rubber Ducks], increasing the defense index of his camp by another 180 points.
"It's time to catch up! Wave 17 of monsters is invading, let's go!"
After a brief deployment, the 17th wave of monster invasions was quickly initiated.
At this moment, the public chat group became lively.
Lin Donglei and the other three sent out a message.
"Lin Donglei: @Zhao Zilong, by order of the second-in-command, I hereby bestow upon you the title of 'Little Trash Chicken,' for a month straight!"
"Yang Taiyang: @Zhao Zilong, the second-in-command is called Lei Chi, player ID Q523131241. The second-in-command said, if you're not satisfied, go and take him down!"
Lu Xiaoman: @Zhao Zilong, you worm, the Thunder Pool Emperor says you're a coward!
"Li Tianming: @Zhao Zilong, our second-in-command said, if you don't go and take him down, you're my grandson!"
Ma Chuanwu: @Zhao Zilong, summons! You're in trouble, come out now!
"Zhao Beng: @Li Tianming, why don't you show your player ID!"
"Jiang Shengzi: Let me introduce you to Zhao Zilong, a level 37 Mechanical Tower player, known as the God of War, who may be the number one player in the entire server right now!"
Su Youlin: @Leichi, you bastard, your green hat fell into my camp!
Chen Hanxiang: @Lei Chi, this is too much! They actually wrote and drew all over my camp!
"Ma Dongqi: @Zhao Zilong, what grudge do you have against Green Hat Chi? He wrote insults about you in my camp and even drew a turtle with your name written in the middle."
"Yang Taiyang: @Ma Dongqi, sorry, to correct you, I drew the turtle, but the words were written by the second-in-command."
"Jiang Shengzi: @Yang Taiyang @Lin Donglei @Lu Xiaoman @Li Tianming, isn't your second-in-command afraid of getting beaten to death? Didn't he know Zhao Zilong knew martial arts? Has he always been this brave?"
"Zisinger: He's a complete idiot! The number one idiot of the year!"
Zhao Zilong: "Look at that dark hole ahead, it must be the thieves' lair. Let's hurry up and wipe them out!"
