15: Chapter 15 Shopping Spree
"Synthesize!"
As Fang Chuan gave the order, divine power began to surge violently above the sky of his Divine Kingdom.
In front of the [marksmans nest], at the very front row of the phalanx of one thousand 2-star Goblin Marksmen, dazzling golden pillars of light lit up simultaneously beneath the feet of nine marksmen!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Three beams of golden light shot into the sky, intertwining and merging in mid-air.
As the light faded, three figures, nearly twice as tall as ordinary Goblin Marksmen, slowly appeared.
They reached a height of 1.8 meters, with sturdy physiques and muscle lines that were smooth yet full of explosive power.
They wore form-fitting soft armor woven from some kind of tough vine and animal hide, and on their backs, they no longer carried crude wooden bows, but magic longbows that shimmered with a faint cyan light.
Their eyes were no longer merely sharp; they now held a hint of hawk-like calmness and focus.
The moment they took form, they knelt on one knee in unison, placed their right hands over their chests, and offered their highest respects to Fang Chuan in the sky.
Fang Chuan immediately cast an Inspection on them.
[Race]: Eagle-Eyed Archer
[Level]: 1
[Talent]: 3-star
[Constitution]: 40
[Strength]: 55
[Intelligence]: 70
[Speed]: 90
[Overall Combat Power]: 550
[Faith Level]: Devout Believer
[Exclusive Skill]: Deadly Shot (Charges for 1.5 seconds, fires an arrow containing armor-piercing energy, deals 300% physical damage to the target, and has a 50% chance to cause a 'Piercing' effect, dealing 50% splash damage to all enemies in a straight line behind the target.)
[Faith Output]: 5 points/day
"Hiss... so strong!"
Looking at this magnificent panel, Fang Chuan couldn't help but gasp.
550 Overall Combat Power!
This already exceeded the 450 combat power of the 3-star Warlord Oge!
Although the Eagle-Eyed Archer was inferior to Warlord Oge in base Constitution and Strength, it had surpassed him in Intelligence and Speed.
More importantly, there was that exclusive skill, [Deadly Shot]!
300% single-target physical damage, and it also came with an armor-piercing effect!
This was simply a divine skill born for sniping enemy backline squishies and high-value units!
The 50% piercing chance also allowed it to deal terrifying AOE (Area of Effect damage) when facing dense formations.
Moreover, the Faith Level had jumped from True Believer to Devout Believer!
It could provide 5 Faith points every day!
That was two points more than before the synthesis!
"This wave is a huge profit!"
Fang Chuan was overjoyed.
He glanced at the panel; synthesizing three 3-star Eagle-Eyed Archers consumed nine 2-star Goblin Marksmen.
He still had nine hundred and ninety-one 2-star Goblin Marksmen left.
"Continue! Synthesize them all!"
Fang Chuan did not hesitate at all.
For the upcoming ruin exploration, the importance of long-range firepower was self-evident.
A powerful army of archers would be the sharpest spear in his hand.
"Hum—hum—hum—"
In the following period, on the open ground in front of the [marksmans nest], golden light rose and fell continuously.
Tall and sturdy figures were constantly born within the light.
After just a few minutes, the synthesis ended.
One hundred and eleven 3-star Eagle-Eyed Archers formed a neat phalanx, standing silently before Fang Chuan.
They wore vine armor and held cyan-glowing longbows, silent, but the murderous aura emanating from them caused the air of the entire Divine Kingdom to freeze.
Standing before them, Fang Chuan even had an illusion, as if he were not facing a group of goblins, but a well-trained, battle-hardened ace legion.
"Very good!"
Fang Chuan nodded with satisfaction.
With this army of Sharpshooters, he had enough confidence to face any danger in the ruins.
However, a spear alone was not enough; he also needed a sturdier shield.
His gaze turned to the group of inferior goblins, which were the most numerous.
Currently, there were over eleven thousand 1-star inferior goblins in his Divine Kingdom.
These were the best materials he could use to synthesize frontline meat shields.
"First, synthesize a portion of 3-star warriors to use as cannon fodder."
Fang Chuan moved his mind and began his great synthesis undertaking once more.
This time, he did not pursue quality, but quantity.
White light and golden light flashed wildly around the altar.
One after another, 2-star Grey Goblin Warriors and 3-star Grey Goblin Warlords were continuously produced.
Fang Chuan did not stop; his goal was 4-star.
He wanted to see what a 4-star melee goblin would look like.
Soon, three 3-star Warlords, over two meters tall and wielding dual axes burning with raging flames, appeared on the altar.
"Synthesize!"
Boom!
A pillar of pure golden light, even more brilliant than when he synthesized the Eagle-Eyed Archers, descended from the sky!
The earth trembled violently.
As the light faded, a terrifying creature, five meters tall and shaped like a small hill, appeared on the spot.
Its body was covered in thick black horny armor, and the surface of the armor was covered with naturally formed, hideous bone spurs.
In its hands, it no longer held dual axes, but an exaggeratedly huge two-handed greatsword burning with raging Magic Flame.
On its head, two curved giant horns pierced the sky, and a pair of eyes burning with eerie green flames were filled with destruction and tyranny.
[Race]: Goblin Tyrant
[Level]: 1
[Talent]: 4-star
[Constitution]: 800
[Strength]: 1200
[Intelligence]: 800
[Speed]: 1800
[Overall Combat Power]: 15000
[Faith Level]: Fanatic Believer
[Exclusive Skill]: Magic Flame Slash (Swings the greatsword, unleashing a sword energy with 'Grievous Wound' and 'Burning' effects, dealing massive damage to all enemies in a straight line.); Indomitable Battle Soul (Passive skill, the lower the HP, the higher the Attack and Defense, up to a 100% increase.)
[Faith Output]: 10/day
"4-star... 15,000 combat power!"
Looking at the Goblin Tyrant's panel, Fang Chuan was shocked once again.
These stats were simply a war machine born for the frontline battlefield!
The high Constitution and Strength ensured its unparalleled tankiness and destructive power.
And the passive skill [Indomitable Battle Soul] made it a monster that fought harder the longer it battled, fearless of death.
"One Goblin Tyrant requires twenty-seven 1-star goblins. With the over ten thousand I have on hand, I can synthesize over four hundred."
Fang Chuan calculated quickly.
"That's enough."
Over four hundred heavy warriors with 15,000 combat power, plus over a hundred Sharpshooters with explosive ranged output, all personally led by the 5-star Saint Fara with 480,000 combat power.
With such a legion configuration, let alone exploring one ancient ruin, it would be more than enough to attack ten.
As for 4-star Sharpshooters, Fang Chuan thought about it and decided to hold off; after all, the number of Sharpshooters was currently too low.
Exploring the ruins would likely mean encountering massive numbers of gregarious beasts; while 4-star Sharpshooters had terrifying single-target output, their firepower coverage was too narrow.
A crossfire network formed by hundreds of 3-star Eagle-Eyed Archers was the excellent tool for clearing out mobs.
"Next is logistical preparation."
Fang Chuan's gaze turned once again to the Divine Kingdom Exchange.
Before the troops move, provisions must come first.
Exploring unknown ruins was full of uncertainty.
He had to prepare sufficient supplies.
He was wealthy and bold now, with nearly 400,000 Faith points; he did not feel bad at all spending them.
Connecting his mind to the Exchange, Fang Chuan directly entered keywords like "exploration" and "supplies" into the search bar.
An array of dazzling goods instantly filled the light screen.
[Portable Scout Hive (Tier 2)]: Can release one hundred micro scout bees to scout the terrain and biological distribution within a five-kilometer radius ahead. Price: 800 Faith points.
[Military-Grade Alchemical Healing Potion (Tier 3)]: Can instantly heal severe injuries; one box of twelve bottles. Price: 500 Faith points.
[Space-Folding Marching Backpack (Tier 2)]: Contains 10,000 cubic meters of storage space, can load a large amount of supplies. Price: 300 Faith points.
[Divine Power Warning Compass (Tier 2)]: Can detect high-energy reactions and trap restrictions within a one-kilometer radius. Price: 1,200 Faith points.
Fang Chuan was dazzled.
These military supplies, which seemed outrageously expensive to ordinary gods, could now be picked by him as if he were shopping at a supermarket.
"Scout Hives, give me five."
"Healing Potions, start with twenty boxes."
"Marching Backpacks, give me three hundred; give one to every warrior."
"Warning Compass, this is good, give me ten; one for each member of the scout squad."
Fang Chuan tapped his mind repeatedly, beginning a crazy shopping spree.
In just a few minutes, he had spent over 100,000 Faith points.
Looking at the piles of supplies appearing out of thin air in his Divine Kingdom, Fang Chuan felt incredibly at ease.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Now, everything was ready.
Just waiting for a week later, when the ruin restrictions weakened, he could lead his invincible legion, which he had built with his own hands, to unveil the mysterious veil of that ancient temple.
"Fara, distribute these supplies and let the warriors familiarize themselves with their usage."
"As you command, my God!"
After arranging everything, Fang Chuan exited the Divine Kingdom.
He glanced at the time; less than half an hour had passed in the real world.
He stretched, feeling full of power.
For the next week, he only needed to attend classes steadily at school and wait for the weekend to arrive.
