Chapter 414: Chapter 414: New Death God 4000
After Sister Li left, Li Yao continued to be engrossed in puppet production. Everyone else was busy leveling up and he had already lost nearly three days’ worth of time.
He had no choice though, this was his primary combat force. Even if it was time-consuming, he had to carefully craft it.
However, Li Yao wasn’t worried. He had plenty of ways to level up. Once he completed several pets, his own improvement would also be significant.
Level 20 was a crucial threshold. For NPCs, only upon entering the second step did one become considered a quasi-soldier.
That’s because all jobs at level 20, in terms of both attributes and ability, would undergo a qualitative change.
The first thing was that they would gain a powerful passive skill boost, resulting in a significant increase. Also, equipment attributes at level 20 would be much stronger than before.
Lastly, once each profession learned almost all the skills, it could basically be considered complete.
For example, starting from level 20, if a warrior passed the warrior’s test, they would be allowed to wear Plate Armor.
Plate Armor was one of the strongest types of armor, second only to various magic armors. Hunters and Shamans needed to complete trials at level 30 to wear Light Chain Armor.
The defense gap between a Plate Armor warrior and a Heavy Chain Armor Soldier was not to be underestimated. Defensive jobs gained a significant upgrade.
Tanks became stronger, and output-damage oriented Plate Armor jobs also saw a significant increase in survivability due to wearing Plate Armor.
These are general examples, for each profession, the upgrades were different. Even each talent upgrade varied.
Take Hunters for example, Beast King Hunters, regardless of the elite professions, would receive a divine beast’s test and thus gain the talent blessings from the Beast God’s Heart.
The Beast God’s Heart could bless both pet and character attributes, most importantly it increased the number of pets that could be summoned.
Trap Hunters would encounter the trial of the wilderness god, receiving the protection of the Wilderness, which could increase the number of traps released, and the trap’s effects would be greatly enhanced.
Other professions were the same. No matter which one, depending on the performance, they would receive a powerful blessing.
Moreover, after level 20 more powerful skills could be learned and equipment with stronger attributes could be obtained.
This was a true qualitative change.
Li Yao could allocate more talent points due to his dual talents, but when he reached level 20, he could only accept one test. Unless he filled the talent points on the side of the Beast King.
There was no doubt in Li Yao’s mind, he definitely intended to accept the Beast God’s test. The shooter class could increase his attack power, but compared to the boost given by summoning multiple pets, his own attack power upgrade would be insignificant.
Finally, when the game was still in the dawn, Li Yao created the new Death God 4000.
But it can no longer be called Death God 4000, both in appearance and function, it has changed greatly from before.
Death God 4000
Rank: 20 Level Intermediate Boss
Life: 200,000
Armor: 1000
Resistance: Elementary Physical Resistance
Skills: Rocket Triple Strike, Super Block, Rotating Shield, Armor-breaking Bullet, Energy Absorption/Energy Dump, Mechanical Aura.
Other attributes haven’t changed, can evolve and mutate, and have advanced wisdom.
This time Li Yao designed it with one hand holding a heavy-duty gun and the other arm with a giant metal shield. As it could not be ridden, and Li Yao had reduced the hauling package once again, the Death God 4000 had changed from its original obese appearance to its current slim and tall one.
Rocket Triple Strike was the release of three rockets, an evolution of the rocket firing skill.
Super Block was a skill to use the shield to form a shield barrier, immunizing against harm, sort of a mini invincibility.
Rotating Shield was throwing the shield to cause damage to the target, it could ricochet up to seven times.
Armor-breaking Bullet dealt a blow that could ignore 50% armor.
Mechanical Aura was an aura skill that increased the attributes of mechanical equipment and pets in the team by 15%.
Energy Absorption was the absorption of energy in gemstones, equipment or elemental essences. Energy Dump was the action of spilling this absorbed energy in the form of magic bullets, similar to a magic machine gun.
Only the power and accuracy would not be as precise. And depending on what was absorbed, the attributes and quantity of the bullets would be different.
This skill was similar to Little Cold Hands’ equipment absorption, it also depended on the strength and quality of the consumed items to see the effect.
However, Death God 4000 was now Level 20, Li Yao couldn’t command it, he could only look at it with envy.
On the whole, Li Yao was quite satisfied with this pet. It was a pretty good minion that could attack and defend.
If he could summon multiple minions, Li Yao would designate it as his own shield.
This was the structure envisaged by Li Yao. The Fire Eagle was responsible for firepower and reconnaissance – in the battlefield, it was like Li Yao’s second pair of eyes, giving him an overview of the entire situation.
Although the Spider Tank hadn’t been crafted yet, Li Yao’s positioning for it was in the front-line, a stationary barrier that could draw resentment, letting Li Yao and other pets focus on output.
Apart from output, the Death God 4000 could help Li Yao relocate, or block damage.
The Hydra served as a supplement. This divine pet was mostly focused on control; the Frost Snake and Dark Snake were not particularly proficient at explosive output.
Moreover, Li Yao decided that the Hydra’s third head would evolve into a Poison Snake.
In fact, he had considered having the third evolution be a Fire Snake or a Thunder Snake, or even a Light Snake.
For the Fire Snake, due to the existence of the Fire Eagle, Li Yao did not choose it. It wasn’t that he was afraid of repetition, but if he encountered high resistance to fire, the chance of being countered was too high, and since there were too many choices, Li Yao didn’t choose it.
The Thunder Snake was also an ideal choice for Li Yao, but there was a lot of metal on his side, and the lightning attribute was not easy to control, large-scale spells could easily cause friendly fire. Even if it wouldn’t cause damage, the lightning attribute would interfere with the operation of the Array, and the materials available now could not achieve insulation.
Li Yao was quite fond of the Light Snake, after all, it could serve as a healer, with the Light Snake, Li Yao’s stamina could be significantly extended. Although it lacked attack power, it could make Li Yao even stronger.
Unfortunately, Li Yao could not find any materials with Holy Light Attributes.
As far as Li Yao knew, there were almost no monsters in the Holy Light Element, there were only very high-level ones, which were impossible to achieve at present.
The only way was through the church, but only the Human side had a church, and the church’s power was very strong, even the king had to give way, let alone Li Yao being a player from a small opposing faction.
“Is this the new Death God 4000? It’s changed a lot from the original. Test it, let me see its power.”
Sister Li walked in through the door and said, looking at Li Yao painting the Death God 4000.
Li Yao gave a wry smile, “It’s a Level 20 pet, I can’t control it at now.”
“I see. Well then, let’s get going and level up. By the way, where should we go?”
