Claudia's scolding made Su Bai feel a little guilty. Sometimes he did act on a whim, and the trouble that followed was basically handled by her working hard to deal with it for him.
However, when he heard that the list of battle damage had been delivered before dawn, he immediately felt a nameless anger rising within him.
"No rush, keeping them around still has some use."
Su Bai reassured him.
Before teleportation arrays became widespread, players did have an advantage that recruiting units did not have.
For example, in last night's raid, if it were a territory managed by a recruiting unit, he would have had to send someone to notify them in advance, which is far less convenient than a player being able to mobilize with just a message.
Furthermore...
The main purpose of keeping these few people around is to appease the other players.
If they were to discard them so quickly after they've served their purpose, it would completely eliminate any thought of other faction lords or players surrendering to them. If they were to attack them in the future, they would only fight back fiercely, causing unnecessary trouble for themselves.
"But we can't just give them whatever they want. We should follow the list and round down the quantity of each item by half."
He added.
"At least you still have some conscience." Claudia snorted, then glanced at Renee without saying a word before turning and leaving. However, her demeanor was exactly like that of a resentful woman who hadn't been satisfied, clearly showing some jealousy.
Su Bai opened his mouth, but he knew that it was useless to argue. He would solve everything once Renee woke up and he explained everything.
...
It was already early morning when Renee was settled in.
Su Bai was unusually competent this time, coming to the office and helping Claudia handle many territory affairs... which also helped strengthen their relationship.
Knock knock knock!
A sudden knock on the door interrupted the two of them as they were concentrating on their work.
Su Bai casually withdrew his hand, and the latter, her face flushed, hurriedly straightened her wrinkled dress. She glared at Su Bai, then quickly regained her composure and said, "Come in."
Du Yue, with a somewhat dim-witted expression, walked into the room with the documents in her hand.
"I won't bother you any longer."
Su Bai coughed lightly.
It was almost noon.
He certainly has a lot of things to deal with.
First, there's the daily siege. Over this period, the three rare towers—Hurricane Tower, Fire Demon Tower, and Giant Wood Barrier—have all been upgraded to the maximum level of 30.
However, the price of rare defense tower blueprints on the market remains very high.
One sheet costs tens of gold coins.
To synthesize a defense tower to its full growth potential, at least three blueprints of the same level are required, and the synthesis requirement for a single rare defense tower is over one hundred gold.
That's equivalent to the cost of building a Tier 1 teleportation array.
It's simply impossible to synthesize it.
However, if he wants to achieve another qualitative leap in his strength, breaking through these three defensive towers to the perfect level is the simplest option.
Therefore, Su Bai is currently in a rather complicated situation.
"Abandon synthesis and break through directly?"
"...Attack, attack speed, and range are the only three basic attributes of a defensive tower. These need to be enhanced to the maximum growth coefficient through talent synthesis."
"Now all that's missing is attack speed, which hasn't been maxed out yet."
In other words...
"Rare is the last stage that requires enhancement through crafting talents."
"Once you reach the perfect level, a defensive tower with all three growth coefficients at maximum can only have its characteristics changed, no matter how many times it is synthesized. There will be no more substantial attribute improvements."
"Moreover... even if you sell your entire fortune to synthesize it using perfect blueprints, you probably can't afford it."
Su Bai was making plans in his mind.
besides.
The only way he can improve his strength is to change jobs as soon as possible.
After the second job advancement and breaking through level 30, he will have an extra Soul Fusion slot for a defensive tower, which will greatly improve both his panel attributes and combat skills.
However, compared to the problems here that can be solved with money.
Changing jobs is even more difficult.
Although he has made some progress and obtained Samantha's power crystal, he is still unable to leave Dragon Island freely.
"There's still more than half a month until the job change quest deadline, so there's no rush. As long as things go smoothly with Six Ears, I'll get the first 'Mirror of Time' in the entire game. Then I won't be restricted from going anywhere I want..."
Su Bai had naturally made preparations for this long ago.
Let's put this matter aside for now.
Back to the present.
Besides the three rare-level defensive towers that have been upgraded to the maximum level, the other four excellent defensive towers have also all reached their level cap.
The price of high-quality blueprints has dropped significantly recently.
I can afford it.
Su Bai used his personal savings to spend some money, and upgraded all four towers to the rare level.
Among them, the Tide Song, the Wave Spring, and the Swamp Tower were the three defensive towers that he had tested and found to be the most suitable for defense through siege battles in upgrading his territory.
Therefore, all of them retain their original characteristics.
Only the basic attributes were enhanced.
That's already pretty outrageous.
The effect of Tide Song is: continuous damage covering a range of 150 meters plus group resistance reduction.
The effect of the Wave Spring is: continuous damage and group slowing covering a range of 150 meters, as well as terrain modification. Its increased range is an epic boost for defensive towers that can benefit from the water accumulation terrain modification!
The effect of the Swamp Tower is to create a swamp covering an area of 150 meters, causing a double debuff of slowing down and reducing the resistance of the entire group.
No matter what kind of defensive tower it is.
Once the attack range is increased, the power will increase exponentially.
