Chapter 985: Creating a Sand Golem
"What if the Universiade is postponed to next summer? I will have graduated by then. How can I participate?" Jiang Feng sighed. "No wonder the dean called me yesterday and asked me if I wanted to apply for a place in graduate school. It seems that he also heard about the postponement of the Universiade."
"Do you want to continue to study for a master's degree?" Gao Fei asked his girlfriend.
"Forget it. I'm not that kind of person. Besides, I have to perform special missions in Tiangong. I don't have that much time to spend in school." Jiang Feng looked ashamed. "But then again, the school recruited me to win medals in the Universiade. Now I'm about to graduate from college, and I haven't brought honor to the school. I'm just leaving like that. It's like getting a 985 degree for free. I feel bad... Husband, do you think the school leaders will call me an ungrateful person?"
Gao Fei couldn't help laughing and held her cheek to comfort her softly.
"The postponement of the Universiade is an unexpected factor of force majeure. How can you be blamed?"
"To be honest, if the epidemic cannot be controlled, it is not impossible for international events such as the Universiade and the Asian Games to be directly cancelled. At that time, even if you are admitted to graduate school, you still have no chance to win glory for the school. Wouldn't it be a waste of three years?"
"That's true."
Jiang Feng smiled with relief, unbuttoned and took off his bathrobe in front of his boyfriend.
...
The ancient southern forest is mainly composed of beech, birch, elm and oak. Clear streams flow through the forest and flow to the northern coastal areas.
The forest is a dangerous place. Werewolf gangs roam deep in the dense forest, and groups of flying dragons live on the top of the hills in the middle of the forest. Only the craziest travelers will try to enter its depths.
"Brother Fei! Sister Feng! Have you entered my module?"
The girl's energetic voice echoed in the forest, startling the birds and birds at the top of the treetops to fly up in groups.
"Richest man, your sister Feng and I have come in, but the system prompts us to be OBs at the moment. We can only enter the game when the main plot of this chapter advances to a certain stage." Gao Fei said to Ma Yun through the star disk.
"Okay, I'll play for a while." Ma Yun opened the task log and took a look, then said: "Brother Fei, the task prompt says that I have to take a long rest in the camp first, and then the plot will be automatically triggered."
"You can sort out the spell list during the long rest. By the way, is the sand golem ready?" Gao Fei suddenly remembered something.
"It's already built. Look, isn't it handsome?"
Ma Yun pointed to the giant warrior made of yellow sand beside her and boasted proudly.
In order to build this golem, she almost spent all the money she had accumulated in the game, and also consumed a valuable "Sand Golem Manufacturing Manual" to replace those construction spells that she had not yet mastered.
At the moment when the sand golem was about to be completed, the manual also decomposed into a pile of ashes.
Ma Yun sprinkled the ashes of the remaining magic power on the sand golem, injecting it with vitality. The originally cold and stiff statue then started up and completely obeyed her control.
Although the intelligence attribute of this golem is only 3 points, it can fully understand the instructions issued by the owner. Ma Yun can also control the sand golem by telepathy within the field of vision.
When the sand golem was completed, Ma Yun also made a jade control talisman.
She herself does not need to use external objects to control the sand golem, but can lend this small jade talisman to teammates. Teammates holding the jade talisman can temporarily take over the command of the sand golem.
Of course, if Ma Yun is willing, she can take back the control of the golem at any time. The priority of the jade talisman is after her.
Out of curiosity, Gao Fei looked at the data panel of the sand golem made by Ma Yun and found that it was roughly the same as the one he encountered in the Yaling Ruins before: Strength 26, Agility 13, Constitution -, Intelligence 3, Perception 15, Charm 15; HP 186, Defense 20, and Challenge Level 10.
In addition, Gao Fei also noticed two details that he had not discovered before.
The first is the magic resistance of the sand golem.
In the previous adventure, Gao Fei learned through the plot prompts that water magic or similar supernatural powers can make the sand golem slow down and unable to transform into quicksand.
On the contrary, casting fire magic on the sand golem, or using similar means to evaporate the water in its body, can eliminate the negative state caused by moisture.
However, at that time, including Gao Fei, no one knew that there was another type of magic that had special effects on the sand golem, that is, earth magic.
For example, "soft stone magic", "stone shaping magic", "petrification magic" and the like, applied to the sand golem, can restore its life and repair damage.
Of course, "repair magic" and "complete repair magic" can also produce similar effects.
The second thing that surprised Gao Fei was that in addition to the "giant form" and "quicksand form", the sand golem actually has an "armor form"!
……
Armored form: The sand golem wraps around the body of the master or a creature of medium size designated by the master to protect, forming a thick layer of sand and stone armor, making the creature larger by one level, with natural armor +10; gaining damage reduction armor 10/magic blunt attack, construct characteristics, and magic immunity.
In armored form, if the strength attribute of the protected person is less than 26 points, it will be increased to 26 points; if the agility attribute is greater than 13 points, it will be reduced to 13 points.
The golem armor has 186 HP. Before it is destroyed, the creature protected by it cannot be targeted by external attacks.
……
The so-called armored form, to put it bluntly, is to regard the Sand Golem as a mecha, and the creatures protected by it are like the pilots in the cabin.
Attempting to attack the pilot in the "full cover" state will not cause damage unless the armor is penetrated in some special way.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the mecha that the Sand Golem turns into has 3 intelligence attributes, which is a strong artificial intelligence. Even if the driver has no combat ability at all, he can safely leave the battle to the Golem Mecha to complete automatically.
Seeing this, Gao Fei had to improve his evaluation of the Sand Golem.
Even if it is a construct that is stronger than the Sand Golem in terms of data, such as the Iron Golem, if he were to choose, he would still think that the Sand Golem has better overall performance.
The key lies in this armored form, which can maximize the weaknesses of the Golem owner - usually a weak mage - who is not good at close combat and has a fragile skin and low blood.
For example, Xiao Ma, although he has a strong ability to cast spells, is actually in a more dangerous situation on the battlefield than the kitchen knife profession.
It is impossible for the caster to fill up the protection buff on himself all the time, which means that the enemy snipers and assassins will always find an opportunity to launch a fatal blow against him.
