[You no longer have any upgrade tools!]
Su Wan pressed the upgrade button, but a prompt popped up. She was stunned. She didn’t even know how to react for a moment.
‘How did the upgrade Tool suddenly disappear?’
She pressed the option again.
[You no longer have any upgrade tools!]
[You no longer have any upgrade tools!]
Su Wan looked at the prompt dejectedly. The building upgrade stone could no longer be used.
‘But how did this happen?’
Su Wan investigated the system panel. She searched through the list of buildings and finally found the answer.
[Used the building upgrade stone to upgrade the Dark Arena.]
Su Wan slowly understood. She looked at Xu Yuan angrily.
“Scammer Xu, what the hell?!”
She felt so angry that she clenched her fist tightly. Xu Yuan wore an innocent and sheepish expression as he looked at her.
“Ahhhhh!” Su Wan was furious.
Su Wan’s anger subsided as quickly as it had awoken. She knew that there were a total of ten gems, including hers. One needed to be preserved to be a champion. They had used another one already. So, they would have eight gems to spend if things went according to plan!
Su Wan just needed to use it carefully next time. She calmed herself and looked at the building Xu Yuan had upgraded.
“Hmph! Scammer Xu, you better pray that the upgrade is useful! Otherwise, I won’t let you touch any gems next time.”
Su Wan’s retaliation sounded weak.
Soon, she and Xu Yuan focused their attention on the building that had been upgraded.
[Dark Arena LVL 2: You can now fuse three different levels of the same troop type. You can also fuse two different troop types.]
Su Wan looked at Xu Yuan. When the Dark Arena was at Level 1, they could only fuse troops of the same type. They could fuse a goblin with a goblin, or a skeleton with a skeleton, but it was impossible for them to fuse a goblin with a skeleton.
However, it had a new feature now. They could fuse different troop types to create something new!
“This is great!” said Su Wan. Her anger and her disappointment disappeared.
“Xu Yuan, I forgive you! You really did something good! You are worthy of your name!”
She giggled in joy. Xu Yuan’s tail softly struck her hand.
“Alright,” she said. “I apologize, okay? I was wrong to shout at you. I knew you had a deeper reason behind your action.”
“Xu Yuan, let’s discuss which buildings we are going to upgrade next. We will get more gems for it, after all! Why don’t we take turns upgrading the buildings that we like?”
Su Wan looked at him expectantly. This made Xu Yuan feel a bit uncomfortable.
So, he hurriedly waved his claws at her and nodded to show his agreement.
“Really?!” said Su Wan. “Then, don’t cheat in the future!”
She suddenly recalled something. It seemed that she had experienced a similar thing not long ago. She had asked Xu Yuan to not trick her once before. But, in the end, he still…
Su Wan shook her head and brushed off her doubts. Since the Dark Arena was now upgraded, she needed to think of how to make good use of it.
“Hmm… Xu Yuan, I will leave it up to you.”
Su Wan didn’t understand much when it came to combining troops. Xu Yuan knew more about it since he always used the Dark Fusion. She thought he would have a better understanding of it compared to her.
She also thought that if she let him choose this time, he wouldn’t trick her the next time.
Xu Yuan looked at the troops and thought for a while. He understood that the Dark Arena still had its limitations. If he fused stronger troops, it would consume more resources and take more time to accomplish the feat.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
Su Wan nodded fiercely.
Xu Yuan chose the Big Dark Goblin, Bulin.
“Hm…,” said Su Wan. “Goblins are indeed weak, and they will take less time.”
However, the goblins were generally weak in combat. There was another troop weaker than the goblins. Those were the Skeleton Soldiers. Su Wan usually used them as cannon fodders because the Skeleton Soldiers were able to revive instantly. The Dark Goblins were able to revive themselves. If the Dark Goblins were sent out to fight, it would be a waste of resources.
“What next?” she asked. “Fuse three Dark Goblins? Or fuse them with other units?”
Xu Yuan was silent. He was deep in thought. “The Hellhound.”
Su Wan didn’t expect that Xu Yuan would merge a hellhound and a goblin.
“What kind of creature will be formed from them?” asked Su Wan.
Xu Yuan shook his head. “I don’t know.”
He genuinely didn’t know. He just wanted to merge the goblin with something that would increase its combat ability significantly.
The fusion took a while. Then it ended.
[Hell Goblin Knight]
The creature’s entire body burned in black flames. Su Wan felt suffocated looking at the creature in the middle of such intense flames.
What appeared before her was a Dark Goblin riding a Hellhound. They were both encased in dark flames.
“The Hell Goblin Knight looks so cool!” Su Wan was ecstatic. She felt that Xu Yuan’s decision had been right.
She had only given him the chance to fuse troops, hoping that he wouldn’t trick her the next time. Who knew Xu Yuan was smart enough to create such a creature for her?
“Xu Yuan, you really are my lucky charm!”
She instinctively kissed Xu Yuan’s cheek.
