Chapter 53: Stanley
Capture monster souls and possess them? Deformation?
This soul cage skill looks interesting, but I don't know how effective the specific skill is.
Chen Bing glanced at the new skill of the Brave Slime, and felt that it was very operational.
He really hopes that the Brave Slime can get another group attack skill, so that the Brave Slime will have no pressure to get up in seconds.
However, if the effect of the skill of the soul cage is very good, it may be stronger than a group attack.
"Thank you, Elder Mercer, by the way, Elder, I wonder if there is any further news about the crisis in the Luminous City?"
Chen Bing thanked him, and then asked.
The day after tomorrow at noon is the Imperial Hunting Ground hunting event, and he has nothing to do all day tomorrow, and it is impossible to continue to brush up on daily tasks.
"No, I went to ask Stanley about it yesterday, but you know, it's not my job, Stanley refused to tell me more details, but there is no other news from the city, and I guess the situation hasn't worsened."
Moser shook her head and said regretfully.
"Stanley? Okay, I see, thank you, Elder Mercer, and if it's okay, then I'll take my leave. ”
Chen Bing was shocked when he heard this, and then thanked him and left the Animal Trainers Association.
The Brave Slime was a little absent-minded and jumped beside Chen Bing.
The flying slime is too eye-catching, and Chen Bing has forbidden it to fly in the city.
The Brave Slime was originally very resentful, but at this time, its attention was elsewhere.
After obtaining the Soul Cage, the Brave Slime found that it could sense a special space when it concentrated its mind, but there was only an empty cage in the space, and there was nothing.
It probably knew the purpose of these cages, but there were no monsters around to kill, so it could only bouncing around Chen Bing.
"Stanley, if I'm not mistaken, he's a very popular scientist in the Luminous City."
Chen Bing pondered as he walked.
It wasn't the first time he had heard the name Stanley, and when he was in contact with those NPCs to do tasks, Chen Bing had heard several NPCs mention Stanley's name.
The NPCs who mentioned Stanley's name were full of admiration in their tones.
But where Stanley is, Chen Bing doesn't know, and he hasn't seen him, only that he is a scientist.
Chen Bing couldn't be sure what kind of scientist he was researching, but he remembered that there was an NPC that said that he was a researcher of electrical machinery, and another NPC said that he had studied human life.
Chen Bing plans to go find these two NPCs tomorrow to see if there is any news from Stanley.
The line on Mercer's side, Chen Bing is not ready to leave for the time being, after all, he told a big lie, Stanley is not Mercer, he is a scientist, not a believer, and he will be exposed if he is not careful.
After two days, the hunting activity is over, if there are no clues, Chen Bing will have no worries at that time, and he can try to ask Mercer again.
The day after tomorrow at noon, the Imperial Hunting Ground is open, and Chen Bing walks on the streets, and the number of players coming and going has increased significantly.
Although the Brave Slime just jumped behind him, it still attracted the attention of many people, and Chen Bing could only put this guy away, otherwise he would be stared at everywhere he went.
After spending more than half an hour on the road, Chen Bing found a monster refresh point in the wilderness that no one was around.
He's been doing tasks these days, and he hasn't leveled up much, but the level of level 41 is still quite high in the game, and only those leveling madmen who don't go offline for 24 hours have a higher level than him.
It's night again, and it's not very difficult for Chen Bing to find a leveling point where no one is around.
"Roar!"
The Brave Slime was summoned, and its expression was a little depressed, but when it saw the Steel Mantis Monster in front of it, it roared happily and pounced.
[System: The Brave Slime has restrained the soul of the Steel Mantis!] 】
The Steel Mantis was quickly killed, and the Brave Slime's eyes lit up, and he wanted to get the soul of the Steel Mantis out and possess him.
After discovering that soul energy was needed, the Brave Slime immediately flew towards the surrounding swarm of steel mantises.
Chen Bing followed aside, inspecting the attributes of the Brave Slime while mending his sword.
The collection of soul energy was easier than Chen Bing expected, and the Brave Slime could gain 1 point of soul energy for every monster killed below it.
The use of the "Possession" skill requires 100 points of soul energy, and the "Transformation" skill requires 1000 points of soul energy.
There is not a small amount of soul energy needed, and Chen Bing simply summoned the insect queen to come over and bury his head in killing monsters.
In the middle of the night, the effect of the two abilities of the soul cage Chen Bing had already been roughly tested.
The "Possession" ability only needs to consume 100 soul energy to trade with the soul in the cage, so that the soul can be possessed by the Brave Slime, and then form a soul aura.
The soul aura has a variety of effects, and it is generally similar to Chen Bing's totem skills, but the aura has no level, and the specific effect depends on the monster soul.
Just like the Steel Mantis, the possession effect increases physical defense by 10%, and the aura effect is only 10 meters.
The "Possessed" aura can only last for 5 minutes at a time, and the cooldown time is also 5 minutes, so basically as long as you have soul energy, you can always maintain the aura state.
Therefore, although the effect and range of the aura are very average, the possession skill is still very good in Chen Bing's opinion, which is equivalent to the Brave Slime having one more piece of versatile equipment.
As for "Transfiguration", it needs to consume 1,000 soul energy to trade, and the effect is much more powerful.
Using the "Transfiguration" skill, the Brave Slime will completely transform into the form of the monster being traded.
In the monster form, the attributes of the Brave Slime are the original attributes of the monster, and 30% of the attributes of the Brave Slime are superimposed.
However, in the monster form, the Brave Slime can only use the monster's skills, not its own skills, and when the monster is damaged and its HP is reduced, it is impossible to recover its HP by any means.
However, when the monster form's health is depleted, the Brave Slime will not die, but will revert back to the status data of the "Transformation" skill.
This is a very unnatural effect, and Chen Bing can't wait to conduct a test.
He caused the transformed Brave Slime to drop its health to double digits, and then attacked it.
Theoretically, Chen Bing can cause more than 500 damage, but the damage is only double digits, the life of the transformation form bottoms out, the form is lifted, and the brave slime changes back to the slime form, and the amount of blood has not changed because of Chen Bing's attack.
To put it simply, when the Brave Slime faces the boss's deadly attacks in the future, it can transform into a monster form through its transformation skills to avoid the boss's ultimate.
This is undoubtedly an excellent life-saving skill, and Chen Bing will have another layer of protection to fight the boss in the future.
In addition, the Brave Slime can be transformed, so others will not recognize it, and it is convenient to do bad things.
Chen Bing also found that when the Brave Slime turns into a monster form, it will really be treated as a monster, and even if it enters the monster, it will not cause monster hatred.
There are pros and cons to this.,The advantage is not to pull the monster hatred.,If the disadvantage is,It may be that you can't turn into a monster and walk around the city.,Otherwise, you'll be hacked to death by the City Watch as a monster at any time.。
In addition, the cooldown time of the transformation skill is 30 minutes, which is quite long, but there is no duration limit for the monster form, as long as the health is not lost, or the form is removed, the monster form can always exist.
So in general, Chen Bing is quite satisfied with the "transformation" skill of the Brave Slime, and there is a lot of room for operation.
In addition to helping the Brave Slime test the skill effect of the Soul Cage, Chen Bing also tried his berserk power talent.
The result was the same as he expected, combined with the Shadow of Death, Chen Bing could perform a 100% 5x critical hit every 4 attacks.
Coupled with the skill effect, looking at the terrifying damage of up to seven or eight thousand, which is comparable to the boss's angry attack, Chen Bing naturally feels quite refreshed.
Chen Bing actually wants to see if the skill of the Brave Slime has any effect on the BOSS, and if he can detain the soul of the BOSS, if he can, then it is really a bull fork.
The boss is not something that can be found if you want to find it, but the soul of the elite monster, Chen Bing has found it.
Elite monster souls,Possession requires the consumption of 500 soul energy,The possession effect is basically 1.5 times that of ordinary monsters of the same type,The cost performance is quite low。
If you transform, you need 5000 soul energy, and the soul energy required is quite terrifying.
Therefore, even if the soul of the boss can be imprisoned, the soul energy required is amazingly huge.
However, soul energy can't be sold for money, as long as the BOSS soul can be detained, it is not a problem in Chen Bing's opinion.
He and the Brave Slime's monster killing speed is absolutely on par!
And at the end of one night, the Brave Slime had already imprisoned several monster souls.
Different monster souls,The effect of the aura after possession is much the same.,Defense、Attack、Speed、Bonuses to various basic attributes,It's basically these.,It depends on whose effect is a little higher or lower.。
The main effect of the Soul Cage skill is still on top of "transformation".
After killing monsters in the wild until the afternoon of the next day, Chen Bing returned to the glow-in-the-dark city.
"This adventurer, Professor Daruga asked me to inform you that you should go to 77 Bell Street and look for him when you return."
The guards at the city gate saw Chen Bing, stopped him and said.
"Okay."
Chen Bing was very familiar with the glow-in-the-dark city, and after entering the city, he arrived at 77 Bell Street.
77 Bell Street is a residential property that is normally inaccessible.
"You're here, come in first."
Chen Bing knocked on the door, and Professor Daruga opened the door and let him in.
"This is where you live, Professor?"
Chen Bing glanced around, the house was not big, and it could even be said to be very simple.
"Yes, I don't usually live in the city, so this place is only used when I settle down."
"I won't talk nonsense, but when I came back in the morning, I went to look for the old fellows who had seen the slate, and after recalling and confirming each other, although I was not completely sure, I had probably redrawn the figure recorded on the slate. We don't know for sure what it was, but Stanley happened to see it, and he told me it might be part of an ancient sealing ritual. Because of this, I can't show you the figure that was drawn, but I can only tell you roughly what the slate does. ”
Professor Daruga said quickly.
Stanley again? But isn't he a scientist related to electrical machinery and human life? Why does it have to do with archaeology again?
(Scared, trembling...... )
