Chapter 90: Jimmy the Fire Thief
Lu Yao clicked on the snowman and switched to [Manual Mode].
Jimmy immediately stopped moving and stood there stupidly.
The snowman's health and mana are displayed in the lower left corner of the screen, and its two active skills are shown in the lower right corner.
[Snowball LV5] (5 mana)
Creates snowballs to attack enemies. Being hit by a snowball has a certain chance of entering the [Frozen] state.
[Old God's Curse LV10 (10000/10000)]
Lu Yao clicked curse.
Unlike other active skills, with this click, the number behind the curse will suddenly change.
(9990/10000)
The faith in the upper right corner also decreased by 10 points.
It is true.
After Lu Yao finished the experiment, he stopped temporarily.
To completely remove the curse from the snowman, the cost is 10,000 points of faith. This is also a heavy burden for Lu Yao.
Can you get corresponding returns by investing so much faith?
Lu Yao was unsure either.
Opening a blind box is somewhat of a gamble, and there is a lack of information basis for making judgments.
He looked at the problem from a different perspective.
The [Undead] feature of the Snowman is destined to be a surprise weapon in his hand. Its own [Zero Degree Field] is a range state with no consumption, which is of great significance in dealing with powerful enemies with high burst and high movement speed.
These characteristics are also the combat value of Snowman Jimmy.
Lu Yao chose it as the third apostle because of this ability.
Jimmy is one of us now, so we must train him long-term and further develop his abilities.
It is only level 5 now, and can easily smash even cave monsters.
But to put it another way…Jimmy has the highest room for growth among the three apostles.
Should I completely give up on the snowman's future and always treat it as a tool and a suicide bomb?
Lu Yao asked himself.
No.
The Blood Knight is of an extremely high level, which means he has the strongest combat power and represents the present.
The snowman symbolizes a future full of possibilities.
Lu Yao no longer hesitated.
Since we have to raise a snowman sooner or later, we might as well do it today.
Start by removing the curse from it.
Lu Yao clicked the mouse, and continued to invest his faith! 9980/10000 9970/10000 …
9810/10000 ……
After he pressed and held the button for a while, the progress bar suddenly filled up.
The faith value in the upper right corner was suddenly reduced by half.
Faith: 11,545 Lu Yao exhaled.
Whatever the outcome, it's your decision.
Snowman, please stand up for me.
A line of subtitles appears in the simulator.
[The curse of the old god has been completely removed from the snowman, and its seal is gradually being lifted.]
Jimmy remained frozen in place.
Snowflakes began to emerge from its body, wrapping up the snowman and forming a white mist.
There was a layer of faint golden light lingering among the snowflakes. This golden light gradually shattered, and the snow mist also dissipated, and the picture became clear again.
Lu Yao, who was full of expectations, couldn't help feeling disappointed when he saw what was inside.
No matter how fancy it looks, there’s still a snowman inside.
Red velvet hat, button eyes, branch arms, red gloves, and a red scarf around his neck...exactly the same as when I first saw Jimmy.
The only difference is that there is a snowflake symbol under the snowman's feet, as if he has returned to some state.
An exclamation mark rose above its head, and a dialogue box appeared: "...I remember, I remember, I was imprisoned in the black abyss by the God of Darkness."
Lu Yao double-clicked the snowman and looked at the data first.
…
[Apostle LV45] Fire-stealing Snowman Jimmy
Attack 10 Defense 45 Knowledge 66 Mana 67 Luck 10 Morale 10 Health: 570/570 Mana: 1915/1915 Damage: 10 Defense: 62 Speed: 22 [Caster]
Less mana is consumed when casting spells.
【Zero Degree Area】
When the ability is activated, targets within Jimi's field of vision will continue to suffer low temperature damage and their speed will be reduced.
[Snowball LV15] (15 mana)
Creates snowballs to attack enemies. Being hit by a snowball has a certain chance of entering the [Frozen] state.
[Blizzard LV5] (100 mana)
Summons an ice storm that deals continuous damage to the surrounding area. The storm damage depends on the ability level and mana.
[Hand of Stealing Fire LV5] (600 mana)
[Jimmy's Exclusive Ability] Jimmy stole the fire sealed in the Dark Temple and gave it to everyone outside the temple. Jimmy has amazing stealing and hiding abilities, and can even steal things from the gods. The success rate and effect of stealing depends on the ability level and speed.
…
Lu Yao was greatly shocked.
The seemingly honest snowman actually has three hands! It even dares to take things from the Dark Temple... No wonder it was sealed in the abyss by the Dark God and tortured over and over again.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just putting himself in the shoes of the person whose house was robbed in the temple made Lu Yao angry.
Considering that the Yeti stole the fire from the temple in order to give it to people outside the temple, it can be called the Prometheus of the pixel world. It was previously known as a hero, and it really deserves the title.
What a pity.
After the curse is lifted, the [Undead] characteristic also disappears.
This is not actually an invincible skill, but a complement to the curse of the God of Darkness, which causes the snowman to fall into divine punishment of constant death and resurrection and eternal torture.
Although Lu Yao was reluctant to give up this ability, he had no choice but to accept it.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
The Snowman's special skill of [Fire Stealing Hand] can be fully utilized.
For example.
[Black Abyss] This is a world-class treasure house left by the Lord God...
Lu Yao quickly typed and asked above the snowman's head.
——Can the Hand of Stealing Fire be used in the Black Abyss?
"God, it's okay."
The snowman was very respectful, with his head lowered, not daring to look directly at the computer screen.
——The Hand of Stealing Fire also works on tyrants? "Yes, God."
——Will it be discovered if I use it on him?
"My Lord God, please believe in my ability. Many years ago, I successfully stole the Fire of Faith from the main god's temple."
Lu Yao frowned when he saw this.
This fire is not the fire you imagined.
What the snowman stole was the faith of the gods...
Lu Yao was a little confused.
Jimmy explained: "My Lord, the God of Darkness does not collect faith through normal means. He has taken away the light of the entire world and locked all the light in the temple. Only by offering faith can we get the light He gives."
"At that time, the whole world was in a state of complete darkness, and monsters in the darkness were everywhere. They hunted all living things, and without light, they were unprecedentedly powerful."
"There was blood and debris everywhere...there was only the smell of death and endless blackness."
“I want to steal the light and restore color to this world.”
"Unfortunately, the light is sealed in the body of the God of Darkness. I have no way to steal the light without alerting Him. I can't do it. I'm too weak."
At this point, a frustrated expression appeared on the snowman's head.
"In the end, I had no choice but to sneak into the temple, secretly take away the fire of faith in front of the statue, and return this faith to everyone. I hope these flames return to their original place..."
"However, those who took back the fire secretly prayed and told the God of Darkness. I was soon caught by Him, and the God of Darkness tortured me repeatedly, sealed me, and threw me into the abyss."
Lu Yao was not surprised.
Doing good things may not always bring good rewards, this is the reality of life. Because of this, good people are always valuable.
He typed again, asking a puzzled question.
——Why did you steal fire?
"No one has ever been able to steal the light and fire of the gods."
"Everyone thinks that the snowman is just a stupid and dumb monster who can only make snowballs."
Snowman Jimmy said: "If I can do that, then I will be the most unique snowman."
“…”
Lu Yao silenced it.
All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Okay.
People really can't be generalized.
Especially since it's a snowman.
Being able to scale unprecedented heights on the road to self-destruction is also a kind of talent.
