You promised it would be a free game, but now your screen is full of in-app purchase prompts?

"Damn, this spiky okra thing, as a fusion plant, costs 600 suns to buy."

"Besides being a melee fighter, it can only fight zombies in a single line. I don't see anything particularly impressive about this thing."

"What a complete waste!"

After finally getting a spiky okra, Bao Ge was even more speechless and complained about the awkward positioning of the spiky okra once again.

How do I put this thing?

The exorbitant price of 600 Sunshine severely delays the early game progress.

Not only can it only attack a one-square area, but it can also only attack a single line.

This thing seems like it's from the bottom tier of all fusion plants...

"Alright, guys, I'll plant a spiky okra in the middle lane first and let everyone see how effective it is."

"Then I used the rapid-fire Peashooter as my main damage dealer."

"When things really get too tough, I'll just bombard them with one-time-use attack plants, hitting them as far as they can. There's really no other way; what can I do? Who told me to draw such a piece of junk?"

Bao Ge got angrier and angrier as he talked and thought about it.

I'm a top streamer, someone who promised to be number one on all three charts, and this is what I've come up with...

He pooped a huge one!

Hahaha! This is the only way.

Don't be discouraged, you can always try again tomorrow.

[Don't be discouraged, Bao Ge! You'll definitely get the Water Drop Shooter and dominate the battlefield tomorrow!]

Although the Water Drop Shooter is priced at 750, this thing feels like garbage compared to the Water Drop Shooter!

The extra 150 sun isn't a big problem; the main thing is that the Water Drop Shooter is worth the price!

……

Watching Bao Ge plant a spiky okra.

After this little thing appeared, it waved its two sickles around, making some silly gestures, and had a cute, blank expression on its face.

This scene left all the viewers feeling utterly bewildered.

This thing looks more and more garbage the more I look at it...

Just then, a lone, ordinary zombie finally walked within a square of the Spiky Okra.

While many viewers were still complaining and joking, the spiky okra in front of Bao Ge's game character suddenly moved.

The spiky okra raises its hand...

The spiky okra twitched...

"Ugh..."

Half a second later, the ordinary zombie in front of them showed almost no signs of being attacked.

One moment it was walking forward unsteadily like Nicholas Zhao Si, and the next, in the blink of an eye, it inexplicably collapsed...

He collapsed...

hiss……

Upon seeing this, the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream were stunned for a moment.

Almost simultaneously, a collective gasp of astonishment erupted.

Holy crap!

Holy crap! Holy crap!!!

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!]

Is this the power of fused plants? This attack power?

[Hey you! Promise me you won't cheat, okay?]

【No way! You're fucking using it, right? Is this attack power even right?】

[You're telling me this is a completely undeveloped, spiky okra? Its attack power is only the base 60?]

[This thing's attack power isn't much higher than a Peashooter, so why does it kill so quickly?]

I just checked, and it seems this thing has an attack speed of 8.0...

[Holy crap! We seem to have forgotten something: attack speed! This thing has an 8.0 attack speed!!!]

I just checked the official website again and found something even more terrifying! This thing is an area-of-effect attack...

Although it's a melee combat unit, once you enter its attack range, it will attack you simultaneously, no matter how many of you there are...

Thinking about it carefully, this thing doesn't seem so weak after all...

……

It's clear from the expression on Bao Ge's character's face in the game screen that he's a bit confused right now.

He was originally planning to collect sunlight to start planting rapid-fire pea shooters, but he couldn't hold back when he saw this.

After a long silence, Bao Ge jumped up excitedly:

"Holy crap! Is that attack power right?"

"Brothers, I swear, I absolutely did not use any cheats! I could never use any cheats!"

"I have no reason to use cheats, and I'm not short of money to spend on in-game purchases. Please stop making these kinds of provocative statements!"

"But this thing is absolutely outrageous!"

"When a huge wave of zombies arrives, we'll see if this thing is really that powerful!"

Bao Ge rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.

Although he already realized that the spiky okra was very powerful, Bao Ge still chose to plant the rapid-fire pea shooter on another lane as the second attacking plant.

It's not that I don't trust the spiky okra that has just shown its prowess, it's just that there isn't enough sunlight right now.

It is essential to ensure that there is at least one offensive plant on each line before the first wave of zombies arrives.

If you really don't have enough, you can fry some small red chilies.

The price of a small chili pepper is 150; for 50 less, you could make a multi-shot pea shooter.

Unless absolutely necessary, it's best to avoid such waste.

I've been seeing talk of massive zombie hordes ever since the game's beta! I've been watching for so long, where are they?

Dude...you're kidding, right?

[Holy moly, a huge wave of zombies...]

[Hahahaha, I can't hold it in anymore, I really can't hold it in...]

Ignore him, that bastard's obviously a scoundrel!

……

Before long, the first wave of zombies arrived.

Because the zombies in Endless Mode increase in strength, the first wave of zombies consists entirely of ordinary zombies with very low strength.

At this point, Bao Ge had already planted three lines of rapid-fire Peashooters, and the remaining line would soon be planted as well.

And most importantly, there's a backup plan with a small cart, so this round is no challenge for Bao Ge's account.

But neither Brother Bao nor the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream cared about any of this.

Everyone's attention was focused on the alluring and beautiful spiky okra in the very center of the map.

We await its magnificent display of power.

Finally, amidst the tense atmosphere of tens of thousands of people, a large group of zombies in the middle lane walked into the attack range of the Spiked Okra.

The next second, the spiky okra, which had been swaying back and forth quite contentedly, started to move.

It wielded its two scythes, launching a rapid and continuous barrage of attacks on the horde of zombies ahead.

No zombie that enters its attack range can last even a second.

Basically, once someone enters the attack range, it's an instant kill. They'll let out a "Ugh!" sound and then fall to the ground.

After watching the last zombie fall in the mid lane, Bao Ge and the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream were still all in shock.

After an unknown amount of time, Bao Ge's expression changed from shock to ecstasy:

"Holy crap! Is this the power of fused plants?"

"This damage is horrific! Is this the kind of damage plants can cause? It's outrageous!"

"Damn it! Isn't this the version's top-tier item that everyone overlooked before?"

Not only him, but all the viewers in the live stream snapped back to reality after hearing Bao Ge's strange cry.

[How can you play this thing if you don't nerf it?]

[Every cloud has a silver lining! I thought we'd gotten a piece of junk, but it turned out to be a god-tier game!]

[That's incredible! And this is just a blank slate!]

With this level of strength, I reckon I could easily clear a dozen or so waves in Endless Mode. With a little gear, I could probably even reach twenty or thirty waves!

……

What was initially met with skepticism by everyone has now completely turned around.

If you hadn't witnessed its power firsthand, probably no one would believe it.

A spiked okra created from scratch is more powerful than three consecutive Peashooters planted in a line!

If this isn't a Phantom God, then what is?

"Alright, guys! Let's not waste any more time!"

"Now for the exciting and intense creation phase! Let's get started!"

"Hey assistant, send another 50 sets of launch outfits to our viewers."

"Brothers, as long as you follow Brother Bao, you can participate in the lucky draw. After the draw, the winners can directly message the assistant. If you don't want the gift pack, you can directly get 188 yuan in cash..."

While saying this, Brother Bao directly clicked to exit the endless mode.

Since it hasn't ended, this round of endless mode isn't counted in the record; Bao Ge didn't pass any wave.

In the endless mode level rankings, Bao Ge's level is still blank.

However, he didn't care at all.

Because it won't be long before he appears at the top of the Endless Mode wave leaderboard!

……

After exiting endless mode, Bao Ge immediately entered the plant fusion creation interface.

Click on the only spiky okra you currently own.

"Whatever! I feel like the spiky okra is pretty strong, with a powerful attack!"

"I'm going to build Spiky Okra as my main carry, no matter how strong Water Drop Archer and Fireball Tri-lane Archer are, I don't care, I'm just going to build this thing!"

"Let's get started!"

Without hesitation, Bao Ge clicked the "Cultivate" button.

A flash of white light appeared, and a +1 symbol appeared after the name of Spiky Okra, while Bao Ge's silver coins decreased by fifty.

The first enhancement has a 100% success rate; there's absolutely no doubt about it.

The success rate of the second enhancement is still 100%, but the price of the enhancement has changed to 100 silver coins.

The cost of creating and cultivating this thing keeps increasing. The success rate decreases as you progress, and the price of creating it becomes more expensive.

However, with Bao Ge's account having been recharged with 10,000 yuan, the spiky okra was still easily upgraded to +10.

After consuming some materials, a flash of golden light appeared, and the Spiky Okra successfully advanced to Spiky Okra (Tier 2).

[Tier 2 Spiked Okra: Attack range increased from one square to two squares.]

[Furthermore, after each set of three hits, there is a 50% chance to trigger an additional piercing attack that deals double damage.]

Not only that, in addition to the ability improvement after the upgrade, the base attack power of the Spiky Okra has also increased from 60 to 90 points.

Compared to before, it's a world of difference, a huge improvement.

"Holy crap! That's an incredible power-up!"

"Brothers, this is only the second tier, the improvement is terrifying!"

"Enough talk, let's keep going! Let's see how much we can improve today!"

As he spoke, Brother Bao resumed cultivating the spiky okra, showing no intention of stopping.

However, the cost of this kind of cultivation is also quite exorbitant.

Just to upgrade the spiky okra to the second tier, including the dozen or twenty failures in between, it took Brother Bao a total of 30,000 silver coins.

Starting from Tier 2, just upgrading the Spiky Okra to Spiky Okra (Tier 2) +1 costs 500 silver coins per upgrade...

His 80,000 silver coins really wouldn't be enough to make many more purchases.

This is why it's said that cultivating fusion plants is not something that ordinary players can afford to do.

Even the average whale (high spender) can only cultivate one fused plant.

To fully upgrade all the fusion plants, you'd need to spend millions of dollars in real money!

This is something only the super-rich can afford!
