Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 54, Third Master

Lei Chi has now been upgraded to LV6, with a base attack power of 6 points. When possessed by the Bloodthirsty Boar and Bloodthirst is activated, the attack speed is 3.0, which means three bristles per second, whizzing like a crossbow, with a physical damage per second of 18 points!

However, what appeared above Zhang Daode's head were strings of "-5"!

This is because he has three points of armor.

Even so, Zhang Daode was still stunned by the beating.

The actual damage per second is 15 points, which is much higher than the damage of Hua Tianbao's arrows before.

"You idiot down there, do you even know who I am? How dare you spout such nonsense in front of me? Do you want to lose your job?!"

Zhang Daode shouted, while simultaneously nocking and drawing his bow. However, the iron-framed bow in his hand only had 2 points of attack power, and he had to nock and draw the bow himself. His damage output was nowhere near that of the Thunder Pool below.

"I am Lei Chi, the vice-leader of the Beast Concentration Camp! Remember my player ID? Do I need to repeat it? If you don't invade, you're my grandson! Did you hear me, you little trash!"

Lei Chi calmly and methodically drew aggro, pausing his attacks slightly as he spoke, taking a few steps back so he could then benefit from the Fountain of Life, recovering 6 health points per second – a very comfortable effect.

"Pah! That's laughable! Vice guild leader! A nobody like me dares to challenge me? Doesn't he know who I am? I am Zhang Daode, the leader of the Morality Guild, a level 33 Mechanical Tower player. Go ask around!"

"You're trash!"

"Are you always this brave?"

"Get the hell out of here!"

"You've got to cross the line, haven't you? You just wait!"

"You think you're afraid of me? Come and invade my camp if you dare!"

"Okay, okay, I hope you won't regret it later!"

"Trash, get the hell out of here!"

Lei Chi followed Hua Tianbao's example and exchanged words with Zhang Daode. He wasn't afraid of Zhang Daode dealing with him; he was afraid that Zhang Daode wouldn't come!

Lin Donglei and the others were dumbfounded, repeatedly exclaiming "Holy crap!"

They had never seen the skill "Beast Possession" before.

"Holy crap, a beast transformation?"

"What kind of tactic is this?"

"I thought Lü Bu was invincible, but I never expected someone to be even more valiant than him. Whose subordinate is this?"

"Brother Bao's subordinate! His surname is Meng, his given name is Shou, and his nickname is Pig Head!"

"Don't joke about the vice-leader!"

"The vice leader is awesome! Let's cheer for him!"

Lin Donglei and the others watching from behind kept exclaiming "Holy crap!" while Hua Tianbao's eyes shone with excitement.

This transformation, this image, is so perfectly in line with his aesthetic.

This is what a Beast Tower player should be like.

"Good brother, what kind of supernatural power do you have?!"

Hua Tianbao couldn't help but ask Lei Chi a question.

Lei Chi replied in a moment, "Skill: Beast Possession!"

"Skills? Where do you get those?"

"It depends on luck!" Lei Chi said. "It's something you can't force."

In the world of Tata, skills are truly something that can only be encountered by chance.

"Possessed by a ferocious beast, possessed by a ferocious beast..."

Hua Tianbao muttered the skill name, then glanced at Lin Donglei and the other three who were chatting and joking with their arms crossed, and shouted, "Look at your second leader, how brave he is! And look at the four of you, you're just trash. It seems that if the Fierce Beasts Concentration is to grow stronger, we two leaders can only do it."

Lei Chi's willingness to take the initiative, his fearlessness in arguing with Zhang Daode, and his courage and imposing manner made Hua Tianbao feel that he was very loyal, brave, and worthy of being a close friend.

If it were Lin Donglei or the others, even if they had skills like being possessed by a ferocious beast, they would never have been able to exchange insults with Zhang Daode like Lei Chi did.

"It seems that taking Lei Chi into the beast concentration camp was a wise move. In the future, he will be my right-hand man."

Hua Tianbao thought to himself happily.

Zhang Daode was quite upset.

He knew that Hua Tianbao's camp square had the Fountain of Life, so fighting him head-on was pointless. The previous times he had invaded, he had relied on his dragon mount to rampage around, causing minor damage, stealing some gold coins, and killing mining slaves, which was quite enjoyable.

They're not here to make a fortune, they're here to disgust Huatianbao.

That's what he was planning this time too.

But why is the script wrong?

Suddenly, a vice leader who could transform into a pig-headed man appeared. Not only was his attack power high, but he also had a particularly sharp tongue, constantly mocking him, which made him so angry that his internal organs felt like they were about to explode.

"I'm furious! You think you can cross the line? I'll remember this! We'll see!"

Zhang Daode uttered a harsh remark and left dejectedly. In fact, he never entered the camp square, because he knew that if he did, he would be forcibly teleported away in ten minutes, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Shortly after, an announcement rang out, declaring the invasion over. Lin Donglei and his three companions cheered with joy. Hua Tianbao, beaming, approached Lei Chi and said, "You've got guts! No wonder you're a Beast Tower player. Alright, alright, from now on you're my brother, the second-in-command of this Beast Concentration Camp!"

"Full of courage?" Lei Chi nodded. "That's right, I'm talking about myself!"

"But you also need to be careful of Zhang Daode. He's petty and will definitely retaliate. What if he really invades your camp? I have many strongholds here, so he won't dare bring anyone. He can only come alone to show off. But he can bring his henchmen to invade your secret camp, right? You definitely can't handle that. How about I have someone infiltrate your camp first and give you a protection period!"

"No, please don't!" Lei Chi hurriedly said, "I'm not afraid of him. He'll only be asking for humiliation if he goes to my camp!"

"Alright then, remember to call us for help with defense!"

"Okay!" Lei Chi thought for a moment, then rubbed his hands together and asked Hua Tianbao, "Brother Bao, guild leader! Do you have any extra critical strike gems or heavy strike gems? Could you lend me a couple?"

He wanted to get something for nothing, and Hua Tianbao was rich and powerful; maybe he would just ask and get it.

"Critical hit gems and heavy hit gems? Wait a minute!"

Hua Tianbao then released his treasure chest, rummaged through it, but couldn't find the critical strike gem or the heavy strike gem. He then said to Lei Chi, "Don't move around here, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he ran towards the trading house.

Lei Chi thought to himself, "Is Brother Bao going to buy it for himself?"

This is so exciting!

At this moment, Lin Donglei and the other three came over and pinched and touched the Leichi, marveling at it.

"Vice Leader, aren't you going to deactivate your transformation yet?"

"Second Master, I knew long ago that you were no ordinary person!"

"I still remember the second-in-command's arrogant pronouncements in the chat group, how domineering he was."

"Second-in-command, I respect you as a man! It's just that your defensive towers are poorly placed. Let us teach you some defensive tips!"

"Look at you, so capable. The vice guild leader has already broken through wave 12 of the monster invasion, and you've only just broken through wave 11."

Lei Chi thought to himself that they were a bunch of idiots, but said, "Let's use a unified title. Stop calling him Second-in-Command, call him Vice Leader, Vice Leader Lei. That sounds more formal!"

"Yes, Second Boss!"

"Second Master, the slave market is in the back. Let's go take a look!"

"The slave market is a shared building for the gang; we can also make purchases there!"

Lei Chi was intrigued by this and quickly followed Lin Donglei and the other three to a small temple-like building behind the gold mine.

That was naturally the slave market. There were two iron cage-like decorations at the entrance. Stepping inside was similar to entering the Jewel Hall. There were purchase windows where slaves were displayed as icons.
