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

With that, Brother Bao clicked to enter endless mode with a look of anticipation on his face.

Start!

With the addition of the Tier 4 Spiked Okra, his Rapid Fire Pea Shooter has lost its purpose.

This thing isn't even as good as a single hair of a fourth-tier spiky okra.

Even with continuous Peashooter attacks, you can probably only reach the tenth wave at most, and that's assuming you're playing at full skill.

After all, the upper limit for conventional plants is limited.

Once the zombies' stats spiked, they became impossible to kill.

However, Brother Bao did not replace this thing.

After all, with insufficient sunlight in the early game, the Peashooter needs to temporarily hold the line.

Once you've completed all five lines of the Spiky Okra in the mid-game, you can dig this thing up directly.

The strategy is the same as the previous game.

Brother Bao first planted five rows of sunflowers, totaling ten plants.

Then, if you encounter a single zombie that's about to enter your attack line in the early game, just use a Squash that costs 50 sun to tank it.

Until you have stored up 600 suns, the first spiky okra will sprout in the center line.

Next, we'll temporarily plant a Peashooter on the remaining four lanes to top the lane. In any case, this is the safest strategy in the early game. This way, we can't afford to collapse when resources are scarce in the early game.

However, in terms of placement, because the spiky okra has been upgraded to level four, Bao Ge's arrangement has changed somewhat.

This time, instead of planting the spiky okra in the middle of the map, he placed it directly in the back row next to the sunflowers.

After reaching Tier 3, the Spiky Okra gains a high-probability ranged spike attack.

This thing is now essentially a ranged attack plant, so it doesn't need to be placed in front of it.

"With my current strategy, because the attack range of the spiky okra has been increased to two rows, I can plant two rows of spiky okra."

"Then plant a row of tall nuts in front of the spiky okra, and then cover the tall nuts with a pumpkin cover."

"This is basically the complete lineup. After that, you just need to save up sun to replenish the shield and tall-nut as needed. When you encounter elite zombies that are difficult to clear, use disposable plants to blow them up and deal additional damage."

As he explained, Brother Bao worked hard to develop the formation he had planned.

Upon hearing Bao Ge's explanation, the viewers in the live stream immediately understood what he meant.

I have to say, this guy has a really high level of game understanding.

Having just obtained the spiky okra, I've already figured out the perfect way to combine a single spiky okra with other plants.

Holy crap, that's amazing! They haven't even fought yet, and they already know how to fight!

To be honest, after thinking about it, it seems there really isn't a more perfect strategy than his; it's truly the most perfect approach right now!

[Actually, you could move the Spiky Okra position a little further forward, leaving some space behind to plant some Rapid Fire Peashooters, increasing overall damage output and survivability. Anyway, you should have plenty of sun later on.]

[There's absolutely no need for that. To put it bluntly, it's already the late game, when even the fourth-stage Spiky Okra can't be damaged. What's the point of having a few Peashooters firing in quick succession? The damage they do is probably like scratching a nerve.]

[Multiple Peashooter Shots: Did I ultimately misplace my trust?]

[Hahahaha! The plant that Bao Ge called the strongest early-game damage dealer and his favorite damage-dealing plant in the beta test is now obsolete.]

[It wasn't completely retired; it could still be used when there wasn't enough sunlight, haha!]

That's just how this game is. In the late game, it's basically all about fusion plants; the regular plants from the early game can just sit in storage and collect dust.

Sigh... I used to think that the Watermelon Pitcher was the king of damage output in this game, but it seems it's not effective even in the late game.

[Rumor has it that next season they'll be updating with a super fusion plant that takes up two slots!]

Where did you see this? The official website doesn't even say!

[A friend of mine works in the planning department of Fengyun Games. He told me this one day after he'd had a few drinks.]

[Holy crap! A super fusion plant that takes up two grid spaces? If it really comes out, won't our current fusion plants become obsolete?]

Why think so much? Next season is still a long way off! Besides, it's not like you can build a team this season.

……

While the viewers in the live stream were having a heated discussion, the formation that Bao Ge had previously predicted in the game had basically taken shape.

The last two rows, totaling ten sunflowers, can provide a high resource output of 1000 sunlight per minute.

Then, the third and fourth rows each have ten spiky okra plants.

Plant tall nuts in the fifth row. Now we only need two or three pumpkin covers, and this lineup will be fully formed.

Once the zombies reach a position where they can attack the Tall-nut, they enter the attack range of the two rows of Spiky Okra. This is also the position where the Spiky Okra can maximize their damage output.

However, in the early stages, no zombies could even get within the attack range of the back row of Spiky Okra, and they couldn't even touch the Tall-nut before being instantly killed by the front row of Spiky Okra.

The fourth-tier spiky okra's damage output is way too high.

The triggering of the ranged spike attack alone is enough to wipe out all the zombies in the path behind it.

Then, if a fiery explosion attack is triggered, all zombies within a nine-square radius of the three lines will be instantly vaporized.

Zombies with only a few hundred health points in the early game simply cannot withstand this kind of damage.

The eighth wave: the newspaper-reading grandpa appeared and was instantly defeated.

Even the berserk mode after losing the newspaper couldn't be activated; it was directly melted by the damage from the spiky okra.

The tenth wave begins, and Gargantuar appears, becoming a nightmare for all players except for the whales in the early stages.

However, this thing was also instantly killed. Once it entered the attack range of the spiky okra, it couldn't even last a second and melted on the spot.

Seeing the spiky okra's brutal attack power, the viewers in the live stream were all gaping in astonishment.

Wow, this is amazing! Is this even the same game I'm playing?

[I feel like I'm even using cheat codes and I still wouldn't be this strong!]

Is this the power of a fourth-tier spiky okra?

It's not that the fourth-tier spiky okra is powerful, it's that 100,000 yuan is powerful!

[Hahaha! If you could deposit 100,000 yuan into the game, you could be this good too.]

Forget it, while I don't lack 100,000 yuan, spending it on a game is still a bit of a waste.

Dude, don't blame me for being blunt! If you feel bad about spending 100,000 yuan on a game, it just means you're not short of 100,000 yuan...

You probably don't even have 100,000 yuan!

Online, you give yourself face; you can type in as much as you want!

【My family has a billion yuan, but I don't want to spend 100,000 yuan on this game. It's unnecessary!】

Hahaha! You guys are so damn blunt...

……

Amidst the shock and cheers of the viewers in the live stream, Bao Ge easily and effortlessly reached the twentieth wave with the terrifying output of two rows of Tier 4 Spiked Okra.

Even here, no zombie could pose any threat to him.

It wasn't until wave 21, when the ice car zombies appeared, that the difficulty finally started to increase.

However, the difficulty mentioned here does not mean that he is unable to fight.

It's just that, unlike before, the zombies weren't instantly killed as soon as they entered the attack range.

At least after wave 21, it should be able to withstand two hits from the first row of spiked okra.

However, in just over a second, the ice car zombie still exploded.

At this stage, Bao Ge's output is still completely overflowing; I can't think of any way to lose.

In the twenty-eighth wave, some zombies finally began to enter the attack range of the second row of spiked okra.

That is, to fire two rows of ten spiky okra plants at the same time.

In the thirty-fifth wave, the zombies began to be able to damage the pumpkin cover outside the tall nut, but after taking a few bites, they were quickly melted by the damage from the two rows of spiked okra.

Because the attack frequency has increased, the ten Flaming Spiked Okra plants are constantly triggering attack effects.

The sounds of explosions and flames constantly filled Bao Ge's ears, forcing him to turn the game volume down.

"Holy crap! That was so awesome!"

"Although the 3% trigger probability is low, the high-frequency attack of ten spiky okra plants at the same time still triggers the merit effect of fire explosion at any time."

"Furthermore, the trigger probability of the third-tier spike ranged attack is higher, and combined with the basic attack of the normal attack, I hereby unilaterally declare! The high-tier spiked okra is the strongest and most stable damage-dealing plant in this version!"

"While the Water Drop Shooter ignores zombie armor, its attack frequency is too slow, making it less satisfying to fight."

"And then there are those explosive fusion plants, like the Fire-Burning Tri-Line Archer. While their attack power is high, their output efficiency is definitely not this consistent!"

"However, I've suddenly realized something."

"In this game, there are no absolutely strong or weak plants; it mainly depends on your strategy or how you want to play."

Bao Ge seemed to suddenly see through something, and his expression immediately turned serious:

"Take my spiky okra for example. If an average player gets it, it might not be very good."

"With an attack range of one tile, it's a melee attack that can only hit one row. Its damage output is probably not outstanding among fusion plants."

"But if they are trained and reach the third or even fourth tier, a qualitative change will occur, and all the previous shortcomings will be made up for."

"So this thing isn't weak, it's just not suitable for casual players!"

"If you're a wealthy player who spends real money, you can get to Tier 4 like me... well... anyway, you need at least Tier 3 to play!"

"If you have the money to build one, I recommend you play with spiky okra! It's really awesome!"

"Of course, if you don't have the funds to build it, don't plan to spend money, or just plan to spend a few hundred or a thousand yuan to play around with it, then I wouldn't recommend this thing."

"Before and after the third tier, they are completely different things."

"Here's a suggestion from Brother Bao: resources in this game are not easy to obtain."

"After you get the fusion plants, don't start crafting them right away."

"Brother Bao will continue to study the cultivation of various plants in the next few days. I will give you money to test the waters. Once Brother Bao has tested them thoroughly, you can start building them."
