Volume 1: Hell-Grade Lord World Chapter 160: Optimization and Synthesis of the Vine-Light

After purchasing the new equipment, Chen Gu proceeded to visit several other newly constructed buildings.

The situation inside these new structures was much the same: a crowd of heroes gathered around, browsing and purchasing the items they needed.

Since none of these new buildings offered anything that caught Chen Gu's eye, he simply took a quick tour and walked out.

Arriving at the temporary camp of the Vine-Light, Chen Gu recalled his plan.

He had the Corpse Vines belonging to the Vine-Light produce a variety of timber, preparing to construct several more wagons.

This was an idea Chen Gu had conceived during his last time on the battlefield.

The wagons of the Vine-Light were not restricted to increasing only when the city upgraded.

Nor was it strictly necessary to construct buildings to utilize them.

As long as it was a wagon, it could be integrated into the caravan.

Chen Gu now planned to build ten more wagons, transforming the entire Vine-Light into a massive caravan.

He had corresponding plans for each of these new wagons.

First, he needed a wagon designated to station the Bipedal Dragon-Beast.

Furthermore, the troop types produced by the Vine-Light required some adjustment.

They could no longer follow the original Elven orientation; Chen Gu needed units capable of dealing with the undead, along with various types of camps.

Under Chen Gu's command, the wagons were quickly assembled.

Since they were formed entirely from Corpse Vines, these wagons did not use a single nail.

The new wagons were soon completed, and several Corpse Vines that originally served as city guards quickly moved forward to become auxiliary propulsion for the wagons.

Chen Gu selected a new wagon and brought out the feed and the docking station prepared for the Bipedal Dragon-Beast.

[Docking Station] + [Empty Wagon] = [??? (Success Rate 71.6%)]

Upon seeing this success rate, Chen Gu knew his idea was correct.

The newly added empty wagon could indeed become a wagon required by the Vine-Light.

"Synthesize."

At Chen Gu's command of synthesis, the Bipedal Dragon-Beast, which had been circling in the air, rapidly descended.

Following this, the appearance of the empty wagon began to change, transforming from a covered empty wagon into a larger flatbed.

The roof vanished entirely, and the truck bed was piled high with straw, looking very much like a giant avian nest.

A quantity of feed was stacked at the front of the wagon.

When the Bipedal Dragon-Beast landed, it fit perfectly inside the wagon.

As the beast settled in, Chen Gu received new information.

[Pet synthesis complete, obtained Green Quality - Aerial Docking Station (Temporary Camp Component)]

[Pet Attributes]
Name: Aerial Docking Station
Quality: Green
Type: Wagon
Characteristics: Mobile, Positioning
Level: Level 1
Attributes: Attack 0, Defense 8, Health 500
Movement Speed: Based on the lead wagon
Initial Skills: Guidance Level 1 (Can emit signals into the sky to guide aerial troop targets), Rest Level 1 (Flying mounts resting at the aerial docking station gain a 10% movement speed boost during their next flight)
Description: This is an aerial waypoint. Although there is currently only one flying beast, the numbers will gradually increase over time.

"This thing doubles as an aerial waypoint?"

Initially, Chen Gu had simply wanted to find a resting place for his Bipedal Dragon-Beast.

He never expected it to turn into an aerial waypoint.

One had to know that none of Chen Gu's previous cities possessed an aerial waypoint.

With an aerial waypoint established, wouldn't it be possible to fly directly into his own cities in the future?

This realization left Chen Gu quite excited.

However, his excitement was brief, and he soon shifted his attention back to the remaining empty wagons.

Chen Gu still had several items that needed synthesis.

For instance, the legion battle flag poles and platforms he had acquired this time.

Chen Gu had purchased the entire batch of flag poles in a bulk deal.

There were a total of six flag poles in the lot.

In addition, there were two platforms designed to hold the flag poles.

Chen Gu had no particular plans for six of the flag poles himself.

He simply distributed three of them to the three heroes currently by his side:

Kebas, Lister, and the Silver Wolf King.

The remaining two flag poles Chen Gu intended to send to the Forest Garden and Longfeng City.

Only the final flag pole satisfied him enough that he planned to keep it for himself.

Yet, Chen Gu was merely satisfied with it; he did not intend to use it personally in that state.

He inserted this flag pole into a platform and prepared to synthesize it with an empty wagon.

Placing the platform holding the flag pole onto a wagon, Chen Gu felt that even without synthesis, the setup already looked functional.

Nevertheless, exercising his ability, Chen Gu proactively initiated the synthesis.

[Legion Battle Flag Mast] + [Empty Wagon] = [??? (Success Rate 81.6%)]

This figure was significantly higher than the success rate for synthesizing the aerial waypoint earlier.

Seeing this success rate, Chen Gu immediately selected synthesis.

The next moment, Chen Gu noticed that the roof and the entire compartment of the wagon had vanished. The platform holding the flag pole seemed to have fused directly into the wagon, transforming the entire vehicle into a mobile platform equipped with wheels.

[Pet synthesis complete, obtained Green Quality - Camp Battle Flag (Temporary Camp Component)]

[Pet Attributes]
Name: Camp Battle Flag
Quality: Green
Type: Wagon
Characteristics: Mobile, Aura
Level: Level 1
Attributes: Attack 0, Defense 9, Health 500
Movement Speed: Based on the lead wagon
Initial Skills: Battle Flag Aura Level 1 (Once the battle flag is raised, all soldiers in the temporary camp receive the effects of the flag), Morale Boost Level 1 (All soldiers in the temporary camp gain +3 Morale), March Level 1 (When the wagon is positioned at the rear of the caravan, the caravan's movement speed increases by 10%)
Description: A battle flag is the most important symbol of a legion or a city. Raising the battle flag signifies that this force has officially entered combat.

The attributes of this camp battle flag brought a nod of approval from Chen Gu.

From the looks of it, his plan had been a success.

Next, Chen Gu proceeded with further syntheses.

This round of synthesis was tailored for his subordinate heroes.

After all, he had recently gained several new heroes under his command.

Some of them helped Chen Gu command troops, and they could travel alongside the vine wagons.

However, there were also heroes assigned specifically to the Vine-Light camp.

Among them were several Blood Shadow Wolves and Fire Spirit Crows.

They lacked the extraordinary talents and qualities of those two blue-tier creatures, but a hero was still a hero.

Chen Gu stationed them within the Vine-Light camp to help command the Vine-Light's guard units.

While this was a simple arrangement, Chen Gu could hardly expect them to live in regular barracks just like ordinary Blood Shadow Wolves and Fire Spirit Crows.

Therefore, suitable wagons had to be prepared as living quarters for the heroes.

It took Chen Gu roughly a day to synthesize everything he desired.

Right at that moment, Chen Gu's subordinate heroes had finished purchasing their required supplies and were preparing to leave Moonlight Fortress, heading toward the locations Chen Gu had designated.

Chen Gu personally saw these heroes off before leading Kebas, Lister, and the various heroes of the Vine-Light toward the Stone Ring Outpost.
