41: The ultimate punishment! My Inferno Tower was destroyed by the boss!
Anti-Air Rocket.
Quality: White (Common)
Attack Power: 50 (Anti-Air)
Attack Speed: 1 sec/time
Effect: Cannot attack ground units.
A string of purely anti-air data.
In this battle against a purely ground-based BOSS, it should have been discarded information, ignored instantly.
But Lin Feng's gaze, like a red-hot blade, was fixed immovably on this string of data!
Fifty points of attack power!
A white building that only costs four hundred gold coins, its base attack power is actually as high as fifty points!
What kind of concept is this?
He had previously used five basic Mage Towers, at a huge cost, to barely synthesize a blue Arcane Spire with one hundred attack points.
And the Anti-Air Rocket in front of him, its cost-effectiveness is simply explosive!
Its only shackles, and its most fatal shackles, are the rule: Cannot attack ground units.
A thought, without warning, yet with a madness that subverted rules, fiercely cut through all the fog in Lin Feng's mind!
What if...
What if he could forcibly "graft" the high cost-effectiveness of this Anti-Air Rocket's attack power onto a building that can attack the ground?
For example... a Mage Tower?
Making a group of mages who only know how to cast Arcane Missiles carry rocket launchers spitting fire?
This scene was utterly absurd, so preposterous that Lin Feng himself found it unbelievable.
But his intuition, his intuition that had seen through the system's rules time and again in desperate situations, was roaring fiercely in the depths of his soul!
This is the only way out!
Cross-species, cross-system fusion!
This is the true essence of the Synthesis system, its deepest, most insane secret hidden beneath countless data!
In the distance, the trembling of the earth was no longer a prelude.
That suffocating sense of steel oppression was crushing closer, inch by inch, with a massive dark shadow like a moving mountain.
Countdown, less than thirty seconds!
No time to weigh the pros and cons anymore!
In the depths of Lin Feng's pupils, a burning determination to destroy everything ignited.
He staked all his hope, all his assets, on this desperate gamble to defy fate!
"Build, Anti-Air Rocket, twenty units!"
His will was cold and decisive, with the madness of succeeding or dying trying!
Cost: Gold x8000.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Twenty simple-looking launchers, loaded with crimson rockets, rose from the ground in an instant, filling the empty space of the fortress.
Lin Feng's will, like a red-hot branding iron, directly covered four of them.
"Synthesize!"
What he needed was not a simple stacking of attributes.
He needed mutation!
He needed those unreasonable, special modifiers that could overturn the entire battle!
Four dazzling firelights shot up into the sky, violently twisting into a ball under the bloody firmament, and then crashed down!
Ding! Synthesis successful! You have obtained a rare building – Heavy Anti-Air Rocket!
The light faded.
An unremarkable turret, which simply had its attributes stacked, stood quietly.
It failed.
Lin Feng's heart tightened abruptly, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, his will did not pause, and he covered another four units again!
"Synthesize!"
Ding! Synthesis successful! You have obtained a rare building – Heavy Anti-Air Rocket!
Another failure!
Eight thousand gold coins, in the blink of an eye, only exchanged for two anti-air turrets useless in this battle.
In the distance, the massive, moving fortress-like figure of the BOSS, Ironclad Lord, had already broken through the concealment of the blood mist, its outline clearly visible.
"Again!"
A fine layer of cold sweat had already seeped onto Lin Feng's forehead.
This time, the light of fusion was finally no longer a monotonous fiery red!
A sharp, cold silver light suddenly erupted in the energy vortex, as if to pierce the bloody firmament!
The light faded.
A ferocious turret with three extra launch tubes than other rocket launchers appeared before his eyes!
Special Mutation! This unit has awakened a special skill: Quad Volley (Passive)!
Quad Volley: Each time this building attacks, it will fire four rockets at once!
It worked!
Lin Feng forcibly suppressed his wildly beating heart, pushing down all emotions, and immediately performed the fourth, and final, fusion of Anti-Air Rockets!
Amidst the light, a corrosive, unsettling dark green suddenly exploded!
Special Mutation! This unit has awakened a special skill: Armor-Piercing Rounds (Passive)!
Armor-Piercing Rounds: This building's attacks will weaken the target's armor, reducing the target's armor value by 10% with each hit, stacking up to five times, lasting 10 seconds!
The two most crucial mutation modifiers were all obtained!
Lin Feng glanced at his remaining two tens of thousands of gold coins and, without hesitation, began the second, and most crucial, final fusion!
His will directly dragged the Heavy Anti-Air Rocket with the Quad Volley modifier towards a basic Mage Tower!
"Synthesize!"
Ding! Detected cross-category building units, cross-category fusion will be enabled. Base attribute values will be reduced by 50% after fusion. Do you wish to continue?
"Continue!"
Lin Feng's will was resolute, without the slightest hesitation!
The crimson rocket and the ethereal blue Mage Tower phantom violently collided in the air!
This time it was no longer a gentle fusion.
But a war! A savage ritual of devouring and conquest!
Rampant flame energy savagely tore apart the elegant arcane structure, forcibly imprinting its will of destruction and explosion upon it!
Ultimately, the rocket's ferocity overwhelmed the mage's elegance!
The light faded, and a brand new, extremely peculiar-looking tower rose from the ground.
The main body of the tower was still the stone structure of a Mage Tower, but the crystal symbolizing arcane wisdom on the spire had disappeared.
In its place was a Goblin mage carrying a ferocious quad-barreled rocket launcher, wearing goggles, and with eyes so fanatical they were almost insane!
Ding! Synthesis successful! You have obtained an Epic building – Quad Rocket Mage Tower!
It worked!
It worked!!!
In Lin Feng's eyes, a storm-like flame ignited!
He followed suit, immediately forcing the Anti-Air Rocket with the Armor-Piercing Rounds modifier to fuse with a Mage Tower as well!
Ding! Synthesis successful! You have obtained an Epic building – Armor-Piercing Rocket Mage Tower!
Just then!
A deafening roar, almost tearing eardrums!
Ironclad Lord's eyes, burning with crimson rage, had firmly locked onto Lin Feng's fortress.
He raised his heavily armored arm high, aiming at the towering, pitch-black structure emanating endless destructive aura.
Supreme Lock!
A chain as black as ink shot out from the void, instantly coiling around the Hell Tower!
Buzz—
The lava crystal on top of the Hell Tower, its light like a snuffed candle, instantly dimmed.
That terrifying pressure, capable of incinerating all things, vanished.
