Chapter 039 Rocket Launch Tower and the Tower of Overt and Covert Attacks
"Ding: The current defensive tower has failed to mutate and will be destroyed!"
"Ding: Current turret mutation failed..."
"Ding: Current turret mutation failed..."
Li Hanqiang built his basic arrow towers quickly, but destroyed them even faster. He used the [Tower Transformation] talent repeatedly, and seven of his nine defensive towers collapsed. Only two successfully mutated: one became a [Rocket Launch Tower], and the other became a [Open Attack and Hidden Arrow Tower].
"A 50% success rate, and I actually... My face can't be this dark, it must be because of these little demons!" Li Hanqiang glanced at the group of little demons around him. This was a circus troupe, after all. How could they not perform acrobatics when he had them on the side?
"Next time it transforms into a tower, I'll definitely release koi into the Azure Pond first!"
Li Hanqiang thought to himself, although only two of the nine basic arrow towers had successfully mutated, he was not angry, because the two mutated defensive towers were truly extraordinary.
First, look at their appearance. That [rocket launch tower] is a real rocket launch tower, the kind that can send satellites into the sky, but it's a bit miniature. The main body is divided into two parts. The first part is the launch tower frame, which is built of steel and is about fifteen meters high.
The second part is the main body of the rocket, which is about ten meters high and equipped with four propulsion chambers. There are also nine large characters on the rocket: "From Chaos City No. 68".
The "Open and Hidden Arrow Tower" was also strange. It was fifteen meters high, with the upper part being no different from the basic arrow tower, while the lower part resembled a small temple with an archway.
Let's look at their attributes—
[Rocket Launch Tower: Mutant Tower, Special Tower, Extremely Rare Tower. Launches a rocket in ten seconds, carrying a weapon of mass destruction capable of inflicting widespread bombardment damage on a designated area. Unlimited range. The tower is destroyed after launch. Note: This is a strategic defense tower capable of bombing across Chaos City, causing massive damage to buildings and other defenses. Cross-City bombardment requires on-site location by the Chaos City Lord.]
[Open Attack & Covert Arrow Tower: Mutant Tower, Level 1 Defense Tower. Range 100M, simultaneously attacks a single target with both open attacks and covert arrows. Open attacks have an 80% chance to hit and can be blocked or dodged, dealing 100 damage upon hit. Covert arrow attacks are guaranteed to hit, dealing 50 damage. If the target is attacked by both open attacks and covert arrows simultaneously, they will die instantly! (Elite monsters lose 2000 HP, BOSS monsters lose 1000 HP)]
Li Hanqiang reviewed the attributes of the [Rocket Launch Tower] and [Open and Covert Attack Tower] several times, feeling a mix of emotions.
This mutated tower is really going to the heavens!
One can bomb across Chaos City, and the other has instant-death damage. What else could this be but a divine tower?
"I, Li Hanqiang, will never lose out!"
Li Hanqiang laughed heartily, eager to immediately launch a new wave of monster sieges.
Just then, a series of rapid ringing sounds suddenly rang out; someone was calling him.
Li Hanqiang was a little annoyed. He checked the number through his gaming helmet and saw it was an unknown number. He answered the phone with slight impatience and said immediately, "There are no houses available. All the houses have been rented out. Come find me again in two months."
Generally, the people who call him are looking to rent houses. Li Hanqiang doesn't own many houses; they were all left to him by his parents. They are all in the Lido Garden community, which consists of only five villas, and they have all been rented out.
Earlier, he had posted many rental ads and distributed a lot of business cards, so quite a few people knew his phone number.
However, several seconds later, a slightly hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Qiang..."
Li Hanqiang was taken aback. It was a man's voice, and it sounded familiar. He must have heard it somewhere before.
He thought for a moment and immediately remembered. He quickly sat up straight and said, "Uncle Zhou?"
"It's me." There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then he said, "It's been six or seven years since we last met, how are you doing?"
Li Hanqiang sighed and said, "It's been six years! I'm doing well now, and I'm quite happy every day. Uncle Zhou, how about you? You're doing well too, right?"
"That's about it for me..." There was another silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a full half minute before the call continued: "Haven't run into any trouble lately, have you? Are you still living in Lido Gardens in Lido?"
"Yes, I'm a landlord now, living off the house my parents left me." Li Hanqiang gave a dry smile.
The caller was Zhou Zhengzhong, who had been his father's driver and assistant. He was a kind and gentle man who often visited his parents' home when they were still alive, and they were quite familiar with each other.
But a traffic accident happened suddenly that year, and Li Hanqiang's parents died at the same time. This Uncle Zhou was driving at the time and also lost a leg, but he survived. Later, it was said that he went abroad. Li Hanqiang never expected that he would suddenly call him.
In fact, Li Hanqiang once resented Uncle Zhou, believing that Uncle Zhou was responsible for the tragic car accident. However, as time passed and he grew older, he realized that everything was an accident and that his parents' deaths had little to do with Uncle Zhou.
However, a rift eventually formed between the two.
"Xiaoqiang, what happened back then..."
"It's all in the past, Uncle Zhou, no need to mention it again!" Li Hanqiang interrupted Zhou Zhengzhong with a smile.
Zhou Zhengzhong remained silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Xiaoqiang, I'll give you a phone number. If you notice anything suspicious around you, call this number immediately. It's a good friend of mine; he'll help you."
"What do you mean?" Li Hanqiang was immediately puzzled.
Without explaining anything, Uncle Zhou sent Li Hanqiang a phone number and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
After ending the call, Li Hanqiang was stunned for a while, then waved his hand and smiled. He saved the phone number Zhou Zhengzhong had sent him, and then became carefree again.
"What are you thinking about? Focus, the monsters are attacking!"
He logged back into the game, full of vigor and ready for a big battle.
However, before starting the monster siege, Li Hanqiang went to the Demon Mountain Cave. At this time, two acres of fertile land had been cultivated, and the upper limit of the number of little demons had been increased from 105 to 115.
Without hesitation, Li Hanqiang consumed 10 points of Chaos Energy to recruit 10 lesser demons. He dispatched 8 of them to the Demon Mountain workshop and took the remaining 2 out of the Demon Mountain cave.
There are currently 21 Chaos Stone Slabs in Li Hanqiang's Chaos City. The Mysterious Shop, the Flame Tower, the Sword Tower, the Rocket Launch Tower, and the Open and Hidden Arrow Tower each occupy one slab. The four slabs in front of the Demon Mountain Cave and the entrance to the Azure Wave Pool are occupied by four lesser demons. There are currently 12 Chaos Stone Slabs available.
Li Hanqiang then ordered the twelve little demons to stand on the twelve chaotic stone slabs.
The darkness cannot be redeemed, and the fanning of flames leads to wandering. This time, in defending the city, Li Hanqiang does not plan to recruit adventurer players anymore; he will lead a group of lesser demons to defend the city.
