Chapter Twenty-Four: The Road to Upgrade

After the old corpse purchased the skills of professional players, the speed of operation was increased again. This is true not only for operations, but also for operations. At the same time, Jiang Tiansheng reminded the old corpse that "StarCraft" is a game of violent soldiers after all, and once the war starts, the consumption of troops on both sides is very serious, so it is recommended that the old corpse should not put the only remaining players in the strategy group into the game to reduce unnecessary casualties.

Seeing that Jiang Tiansheng's family did not invest a single player in the strategy group, and thinking about the two battles just now, it is indeed as Jiang Tiansheng said, if you are not careful, you will pay more than half of your companions' lives to go out. At this time, in the Zerg (Zeg zerg) base, there are only 7 players in the strategy group who have invested in the game, including Dabao, and the old corpse who has learned the hard way has decided to concentrate on the operation, give full play to the advantages of the Zerg, and flatten the opponent.

Of course, there is Dabao, a cultivated player, who acts as a combat unit in the game, and Jiang Tiansheng also reminded the old corpse: "Old corpse, don't forget that Dabao is a cultivated player, and it comes with its own hero attributes in the game." Dabao as Zegrin (puppy zerglin) has a movement speed and attack speed beyond ordinary puppies, not to mention that Dabao's hero unit can also be upgraded, you see, what unit can Dabao upgrade to? ”

After Jiang Tiansheng's reminder, the old corpse also reacted, clicked on Dabao's unit panel and looked, and sure enough, there was an upgrade page. As the lowest unit of the worker bee (farmer), Dabao has been "evolved" by using the way of building buildings. At the top of the worker bee is Zegrin, the same as Dabao has now become, and is the most basic combat unit in the entire swarm. Among the combat classes, they have the lowest attack power, the lowest defense, and the lowest HP, but Zegrin has the advantage of being able to hatch two eggs from one egg. If you upgrade the movement speed, attack power and defense for Ze Green, and then hatch a few thunder beasts (mammoths) with rough skin and thick flesh and extremely high attack power as meat shields, and create a group of Ze Green to match, you can form the golden partner of the Zerg, Mammoth Puppy, if you combine it with the yellow mist of the scorpion to block the long-range attack of the place, it is not too perfect. This is also the reason why Zegrin is not outstanding in all aspects, but he can become the most basic, the most important, and even the most backbone of the Zerg.

Behind Zegrin is the mid-level class of the swarm, the Stinging Snake (saliva) and the lurker (ground thorn), as the only ground combat unit in the swarm that can carry out air attacks, the stinging snake is an irreplaceable force of the swarm, and has been used from "StarCraft 1" to "StarCraft 2". The lurker is a combat unit evolved from the stinging snake, which is also the local unit encountered by Jiang Tiansheng and the old corpse when they were airdropped, lurking underground to attack, unable to move when lurking, and belonging to positional combat units.

Further back, there are the high-level troops of the swarm, thunder beasts and scorpions. The Thunderbeast is the strongest unit on the ground in the swarm, and if you want to make an analogy, then the Thunderbeast is the equivalent of the King of the Land tank during World War II, suitable for charging into battle and opening the way. As for the Scorpion, it is a special unit, similar to a Support or Mage. The scorpion itself has no attack power, but it has three powerful skills, Extermination, Black Bee, and Plague. Destruction can be replenished by devouring one's own units, and in layman's terms, it is to eat one's own minions to return to the demon. The Black Hornet is also commonly known as the Yellow Mist, in which all ranged attacks lose their effect, and is suitable for covering and propulsion for puppies and mammoths on the ground. The plague is a scorpion that sprays a group of scarlet spores from its mouth, sticking to the local unit, which belongs to a wide range of AOE skills, once the local unit is touched, it will be damaged, and quickly drop blood.

Skip the land units and look at the air units in the back, which are the Lord, Wyvern, Explosive Mosquito (Self-Detonating Moth), Queen, Guardian, and Devourer. Among them, the Wyvern, like the puppy and the stinging snake, is the three most backbone combat units of the insect swarm, and if one of these three units is pulled alone, a sea of insects will burst out, it will be quite scary. What puppy sea, stinging snake sea, flying dragon sea, the so-called flying dragon riding face also came from here. Each attack of the Wyvern has the ability to eject, so the power of the Wyvern swarm is quite terrifying, and meeting the Wyvern Swarm is as terrifying as meeting the locust transit.

Lord and Exploding Mosquito, it is impossible for the old corpse to upgrade Dabao into these two units. First, the lord has no role except for transportation, anti-concealment, and reconnaissance, and is a non-combat unit. And the explosive bug is not to mention, in the literal sense, the exploding bug is the air unit that uses its head to slap the opponent, it is an air-to-air unit. Once the opponent's warship or fighter plane hits the explosive bug, the one with a lower HP will be killed directly, and the one with a higher amount will be crippled. However, the Exploding Bug is a self-destructing unit, and the old corpse will never let any player choose it.

The Guardian and Devourer are the two units of the Wyvern's secondary evolution, the former being an open space unit and the latter being an empty air unit. The Guardian has a long range and high attack power, and belongs to the ground firepower after winning air supremacy, if you want to break through the opponent's dense anti-aircraft fire for airdropping, then the Guardian must be indispensable to carry out long-range strikes on the air defense line. However, the only drawback of the Guardian is that as an air unit, it does not fly very fast, and it needs protection at any time to defend against local air forces. As for the Devourer, the Sky King of the Swarm, although it is a single attack, the Devourer's attack can slow down the attack speed of local air units, and the Devourer's flight speed is quite fast.

The last air unit, the Queen, has a similar role as the Scorpion, and is a support unit, and no one has any combat capabilities. However, it has four skills, encroachment, parasitism, trapping, and spawning. Invasion is to occupy the Terran (Terran) base when it is in a state of low HP, and can produce special Zerg units, and the combat effectiveness is off the charts. Parasitism is the queen releases small parasites to local units, gaining the vision of the opposing unit, which is a means of detection, just like the flash grenade of the Terran medics, the unit will get a special status, and will not call the police, and it is not easy to detect. Trapping is the process of spraying a large viscous net that entangles enemy units and slows them down. The last egg is to shoot two parasites from the opponent's organic unit, and the parasites will use the unit as a host, grow in its body, and then kill the opponent and turn into a parasite with a short life to attack the surrounding enemy forces.

Of all the Swarm ground combat units, with the exception of the Mammoth, almost all of the Swarm units have a special skill that they are born with, which is Insidious. Hide beneath the surface and ambush enemies, or dodge enemy attacks. In addition, all swarm units, including "buildings", have a self-healing function, and once injured, they will slowly recover, which is the advantage of swarm units.

After reading the many insect swarm classes above, the old corpse saw that there was a special class interface behind it, so he clicked in and took a look, and was surprised to see two classes inside. One is a self-destructor, the other is Kalegan.

Blowing himself up, as the name suggests, is literal. Like the Exploding Mosquito, one is a suicide unit in the air and the other is a suicide unit on the ground, both of which belong to the kind of units with extremely high damage and extremely fast moving speed, which is one of the extreme means to break through the enemy's defenses. However, the special unit of the self-destructor will definitely not be in the range of the old corpse's choice, for the same reason as the exploding mosquito. Its production method is to produce in the Terran base invaded by the queen worm.

However, the appearance of the self-destructor did not bring too much horror to the old corpse, but took a deep breath and stared blankly at the last unit in the swarm, Kalegan. An old corpse with the skills of a professional gamer, information about Kalegan instantly appeared in his mind. Kalegan turned out to be a Terran ghost warrior who was later captured by the Worm during the battle and transported to Char in a protective cocoon. During the nightmarish days in the cocoon, Kalegan slowly transformed into the Blade Queen, a powerful weapon of the insects. In the game StarCraft, Kalegan runs through the entire game's plot, and finally takes control of the biter, becoming a veritable queen of bugs, the hero unit in the game. Most famously, "I am the swarm", he has a number of abilities, most notably the invisibility of the Terran ghost agents and the ion storm of the Templars of the Protoss (Astrals, Protoss).

In this way, the mammoth, the king of land battles in front, the wyvern in the sky, and other creatures, all have to make way for Kalegan in front of them, this is a real hero unit, a well-deserved trump card. The old corpse excitedly clicked on Kalegan's upgrade conditions and saw that 1000 crystal ore, 1000 gas, and screamed, this upgrade cost is simply a cheat. If you want to upgrade Dabao to Kalegan, it is equivalent to taking three swarm bases on the spot, and paying an additional 100 crystal ore and 1000 gas. After hesitating for a long time, the old corpse told Jiang Tiansheng, Dabao and a kind of strategy group players that Dabao could be upgraded to Kalegan.

Dabao's face was excited, he didn't expect that he could upgrade in this direction. But this Kalegan is a woman, and from the human Kalegan to the zerg Kalegan, although the sexy and enchanting posture has not changed, but the changes in the limbs and hairstyle make Dabao feel creepy for a while, and it is difficult to accept it for a while.

Everyone gathered in a circle to offer suggestions, and after some discussion, Jiang Tiansheng turned his head and looked at Dabao with a smile, and said, "After our research and decision, this Kalegan will be up to you." You don't need to be modest, and you don't need to recite two poems, everyone is so happy to decide, lest your vitality be inexplicably drained. Although 1000 Crystal Ore and 1000 Gas to upgrade a Kalegan may seem like a considerable loss, you are training players to become combat units with abilities that surpass ordinary combat units. If you become a hero unit like Kalegan, everyone is looking forward to what you will eventually grow into. ”

Dabao was speechless for a while, although Kalegan's appearance was not flattering, but his strength was very strong, and Dabao reluctantly accepted it. Kalegan does not need to upgrade to other units by climbing the technology to the corresponding place to upgrade, Kalegan only needs the ocean.

The old corpse didn't say a word, saved the ocean, and directly chose Dabao and clicked to upgrade. In the next second, Dabao turned into an egg on the fungus blanket. The old corpse looked at Dabao's eggs, and the progress bar was even slower than the speed of building four bases in a row. Helplessly, I could only show Dabao's progress to everyone.

"Okay, Dabao won't be able to appear in the near future, and we'll take care of the rest. The vultures I have placed on the front line have been dealt with, and the other side is ready to carry out a wave of counterattack, everyone is ready. Jiang Tiansheng squinted, rubbed his chin, and stared at his game map with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
