Chapter 16 - Strange... Pea Seeds?

Pierce gazed into the night sky.

He would only know what the seeds he planted were tomorrow morning.

He waited patiently.

He had passed the first two Tower Defenses perfectly.

At this point, Pierce suddenly felt that this Tower Defense game was not as difficult as he had imagined.

The most important thing now was to explore this world that seemed to have a lot of secrets.

Who knew what great opportunities were hiding in this world.

Amidst the anticipations of many, dawn arrived.

Pierce woke up in the big, soft bed.

The first thing he saw was the griffin circling above his head.

Pierce spent some time straightening his clothes.

Under the watchful eyes of many night owls in the live-stream, he walked to the city gate and observed the situation of the seeds.

The first thing Pierce saw after leaving the city gate was a field of green plants.

They swayed with the wind as if they were alive.

Pierce suddenly looked startled.

What did he see!

A large field of green… Peashooters??

They looked like green rocket launcher barrels.

There were two small leaves on each plant that swayed in the wind.

They looked like the peashooters of Plants vs. Zombies played by Pierce in his previous life.

While Pierce was puzzled, the golden hint appeared.

[Golden Treasure Chest seems to have guessed what you think is the most suitable creature to defend the city walls. Wow, this is so creative.]

When he saw the notification, he instantly understood.

It turned out that the golden treasure chest could materialize the lifeforms which gave him the highest sense of security.

It was exactly so.

At the beginning of the Tower Defense invasion, he couldn't help but think of those strange plants when he saw the hundred dark zombies.

While Pierce was deep in thought, the plants saw his arrival and swayed elatedly.

Pierce brought an iron bucket and watered them.

Seeing that there was a water source, their large eyes could not help but narrow in joy.

Pierce did a rough count. There were thirty peashooters.

They were divided into two rows and planted on both sides of the city gate.

There were fifteen plants on each side.

After watering the peashooters with the griffin, it was around 8 a.m.

The comments in the live-stream also gradually increased.

Some people instantly noticed the pea cannons behind Pierce.

They were shocked.

"What the hell are these strange green plants?"

"This… can these things still be called plants!?"

"These must be the seeds that Pierce took out from the treasure chest yesterday!"

"Gosh, these plants look more and more adorable."

"The Tower Defense world is really amazing."

Everyone had the impression that the creatures in the Tower Defense world were all ugly.

Their bodies were either missing limbs or were rotting.

But the griffin and these little green plants of Pierce were so cute.

Without exception, it refreshed the world's impression of Tower Defense.

So there was such a cute and powerful creature in such a dangerous world.

After a period of exploration, Pierce also saw the peashooter's information on the Tower Defense's stats panel.

[Peashooter]

[Level: 3]

[Growth Potential: Level 7+]

[Remarks: Don't underestimate their combat power because of their looks. By the way, these plants should have a strong evolutionary branch.]

Evolutionary branch??

Pierce did not immediately pay attention to the level 7 growth potential.

Instead, it was the remarks of the evolutionary branch that made his imagination run wild.

Ice pea, fire pea, split pea, threepeater…

From just what he was familiar with, Pierce knew no less than four types.

Pierce was relieved. These small things had the growth potential of level 7.

Suddenly!

Pierce thought of something and quickly took out a stone carved with a lightning symbol from his backpack.

This stone was a gift from Country G.

According to them, they had to hide in the cave of the enormous level 3 thunderbird in order to obtain this stone.

They had been squatting for five consecutive days without returning to the camp.

It almost made everyone think that they could not return.

In return for the information Pierce had given them, they had all agreed to share half their gains with Pierce, which was one stone.

That's right, they had only obtained two stones with lightning symbols.

After obtaining the stone, Pierce had checked it with the hint.

As expected, it was the lightning element energy stone.

Everyone knew that the power of lightning was the strongest element among the natural elements.

Originally, his plan had been to exchange for an arrow tower from another country with Tower Defense points and install it, then enhance it into a lightning elemental arrow tower.

But now…

Pierce held the slightly electrifying stone out to a peashooter.

The griffin at the side also let out a soft cry. From the looks of it, it was also very fond of this stone.

But there was no worry. Pierce had already reached a deal with Country G.

If Country G discovered this type of stone again, they would immediately give half to Pierce.

If it hadn't been for Pierce's reminder that the stones could have such powers, they might have already fallen in the second invasion.

The monstrous level 4 aberration could have charged into the city using the dangerous terrain.

Pierce patted the screaming griffin away and handed the lightning element energy stone to the peashooter that was blinking at him.

[New formula detected. Do you want to unlock it?]

As expected, the peashooter was a jack of all trades and could contain everything.

"Unlock!"

Pierce replied softly.

[The new formula has been unlocked. Please check your formula list.]

Pierce found the blueprint on his character panel.

There were only two blueprints in the huge space.

One was the elemental arrow tower's formula.

And the second was the plant he had just unlocked.

Elemental peashooter!!

[Peashooter + lightning element energy stone = Lightning Pea!]

According to the formula, Pierce touched the somewhat delighted peashooter.

Then, he passed the stone to the peashooter's cannon mouth.
