Chapter 632 Let's Be a Scientific Researcher(1/3)
Perhaps Anfonite is indeed a good academic exchange partner, because this guy will tell Liu Yifei every bit of information he thinks is important in detail, and even explain in detail where he has questions.
But the more thoroughly he understood the so-called "censored works", the more Liu Yifei felt the urge to strangle the bastard in front of him to death!
Damn~
After doing it for a long time, this so-called "transformation experiment" actually affects my own strength?
Even if the impact is recoverable in a short period of time, Liu Yifei doesn't want to waste his fighting power in vain!
God knows when he will be forced to go to the battlefield due to territorial needs.
If by then he performs poorly due to his declining combat effectiveness... Damn it~ Why didn't this Afnet explain these things so clearly beforehand?
It was a pity that he had to bite the bullet, because he had already boarded the other party's pirate ship, and now Liu Yifei could only try his best to think of how to complete the contract with the other party while protecting himself.
Fortunately, the prior agreement stipulated that the research content should "not harm Liu Yifei's personal interests." If the other party forced him to do something fatal, Liu Yifei could use this protective measure to reject it, and the situation was still good.
Not too ugly~
However, after actually getting involved in the so-called "transformation experiment", Liu Yifei realized what a "surprising" or "interesting" process it was!
After Amfornet stood in the special magic array, countless interfaces and various data soon appeared around the magic array like a light screen!
The largest light and shadow was an image floating in mid-air in the laboratory...a huge image of a second-order and first-class "dead corpse" that Liu Yifei was all too familiar with.
The green-gray body has an exposed upper body and tattered rough yellow cloth trousers on the lower body. At the same time, there are varying degrees of decay or mutilation all over the body... It is the most ordinary second-level and first-class corpse!
"Look. This is the most common second-level mercenary 'dead body'.
All along, these people of mine who have not yet opened their spiritual wisdom have been the lowest beings among our undead clan.
They are numb, stiff, slow and clumsy. Even skeletons, which are obviously more fragile, are disliked by others.
But are dead bodies really weak?
No! Their basic strength is even comparable to some weak third-level creatures! And their only weakness is slowness! Their movement speed is also slow, and their attack speed is also slow, and this has become their fatal weakness, making the zombie family suffer for a long time.
suffered too much unfair treatment.
And what I have always hoped for is that I can personally change the bleak future of the zombie clan through my own hands!
My people need more power, more opportunities to perform, and strive for the glory they deserve!
Nowadays, the zombie clan... let alone the second-level official mercenaries of the undead clan, are almost completely banned. And this is just because they are too slow~
As long as I can try to block their weakness..."
While Anfonite was doing various control demonstrations, he was also analyzing and explaining to Liu Yifei.
It can be heard that this rare zombie wizard is actually very "sympathetic" and has always been worried about his stiff and slow compatriots who have not yet developed their intelligence.
In fact, his analysis is also correct. All kinds of monsters of the corpse type have always been "experience babies" in everyone's eyes.
In the wild and on the battlefield, not only players see it this way, but even other individual NPCs who attack each other understand it this way.
In fact, zombie mercenaries are probably the most loyal, competent and satisfying experience babies in the game~
Others of the same category exist. Either they are like dwarves, with the potential for explosive acceleration, or they are as hard as monsters like Iron Man.
There are only dead bodies, which are huge and easy to bully. What is a baby if not experience?
And Amfornet's idea is also correct. Since the overall attributes of zombie monsters are relatively strong, as long as they try to cover up their slow speed characteristics, they will be the best soldiers! There is no need for any other deletions~
However......
"...Unfortunately, one of the main reasons why corpses move slowly is their stiff muscles.
I once thought of simply cutting off their excess muscles. Especially the muscles on their lower limbs.
But as a result, the movement speed of the corpses has indeed been significantly improved, but their lower body defenses are as fragile as skeletons.
Not only that~
Corpse-type creatures are generally used as defensive troops in legions everywhere. Although the equipment they wear is not very strong, they are mainly heavy armor.
However, once the muscles in the legs of the corpses are shaved off to increase their speed, these guys are not as good as before in terms of load-bearing capacity. Once they continue to be equipped with two-handed heavy axes and full-body heavy armor, they do not need to be hit by the enemy, and their own leg bones will easily
If it is broken, it will be impossible to walk even a few steps even if it continues.
But if they are not equipped with heavy armor, their lower bodies will also become the enemy's main attack weakness.
Their leg bones can be easily chopped off, just like those lowly skeletons.
And in this way, even if the dead body is temporarily immortal, it has become a useless waste on the battlefield. It is difficult to move even one more step, and it has no practical value at all!
I have also thought about letting them master some long-range offensive alternative combat methods, which can also make up for the lack of mobility of the zombies to a certain extent.
So the ‘review work’ I submitted last month was a mutant zombie with the ability to ‘throw axes’, which I called the ‘zombie axe-thrower’.
But unfortunately, the results of the review have not come down yet, and based on past experience...I am afraid that my work will not pass the test smoothly, so we'd better make a backup plan now."
"So...you never thought about letting your compatriots have the ability to cast spells? Like you?"
Liu Yifei was still very unfamiliar with this new self-created game mode, so he asked tentatively.
"Casting a spell? Casting a dead corpse? Hey~
Liuyun, can you tell me. Are there any low-level mercenary-type units that you know can cast spells? Even spell-like talents will do~"
"Forehead......"
Liu Yifei was really stunned when Anfornet asked him this~ This...it seems like there really isn't one, right?
"Ah! Yes! Gog! Don't the second-level Gog mercenaries in the hell camp have spell-like talents with similar effects to the fireball spell?"
Liu Yifei's eyes lit up and he answered suddenly.
"Hey~ Gog can actually be thought of...well~ that is indeed the only answer.
But you have to know that the conditions for the birth of Gog are very harsh, with powerful magic power and a fiery living environment... It can be said that the talent of the demon clan is indeed very good. It has both the talent of magic and powerful power.
A fire element controller is almost a natural fire element mage...
But the power of the soul is different from the elements.
It focuses on consolidating oneself, and is a type of strength that strengthens oneself first and then hurts the enemy.
It's too far-fetched to expect that zombies of the same second level can produce spell-like attack effects, not to mention that these guys were just stronger ordinary creatures when they were alive. If they have the ability to cast spells, I'm afraid they are more likely to be awakened as
A fifth-level corpse witch instead of a second-level corpse.
This idea itself falls into a misunderstanding, because if you want a creature to have spell-like abilities, you must force them to master a lot of additional knowledge... Unless they have a certain degree of spell-like talents or spell-casting abilities, then
It is relatively simple to modify it on this basis.
And if we start from scratch, it is impossible to master so much knowledge with the intelligence of low-level creatures, otherwise we, the zombie clan, would not even have a very slim chance of the emergence of variants of spell-casting units."
Aifonite shook his head sadly and directly rejected Liu Yifei's proposal.
Judging from the desperate expression on his face, it is estimated that this guy has done some experiments himself and is basically sure now. That's why he rejected Liu Yifei's weird suggestion without even thinking about it.
So...what else can be done to increase the combat effectiveness of the dead...at least, to make them somewhat valuable?
Almost at this moment, Liu Yifei thought of another example - the ghoul! A mutant creature similar to a corpse-type creature, it seems to be of the second level!
It would be a pretty good idea if all the dead corpses could be turned into scary creatures like "ghouls" that are agile and powerful. At least the "pounce" of the ghoul's initial attack is quite effective.
It is very threatening, and even has a certain restraint effect on powerful and terrifying cavalry-type creatures. Doesn't this mean that the tactical value of the dead body is amplified?
However, when Liu Yifei expressed this idea...
"Haha~ Ghoul... What a pity~ That thing is an alternative variant obtained by transforming dead corpses. It is the leftover creativity of our ancestors... In fact, I heard
It was originally an experiment to improve the summoning spell. But an unexpected deviation occurred, which accidentally led to the existence of such a thing as a "ghoul".
It was just that the ancestors at that time quickly noticed the value of ghouls and added a kind of "ghoul" talent to them, which made the ghoul family officially come into being...
In fact, there are already rumors within the clan. It is said that if the corpse series cannot make any significant progress, then they will find an opportunity to replace all the corpses in the future and replace the undead clan with 'ghouls'.
The location of the second-level legion mercenaries, so..."
"That's why you want to try your best, even risking your own future for it?"
Liu Yifei twitched the corner of his mouth and asked somewhat in disbelief.
Originally, Liu Yifei was actually very strange.
Anyway, this so-called society does not stipulate the research direction of each member at all. So since this path is not feasible, why doesn't Amfornet try to choose other research topics?
After all, his last research result - the "zombie ax thrower" had almost been shot!
Under such circumstances, there seems to be little value in continuing to pounce on the dead bodies. It is better to choose a safer plan and first obtain the authority to continue to stay in this society.
But this obviously cunning Amfornet actually made an inexplicable mistake in this matter.
Liu Yifei was still curious about why the other party was so stubborn. After a long time, it turned out that there were already rumors indicating that the zombie clan was going to be replaced...
How come Liu Yifei didn't hear about such a big thing?
Is it because I've been too busy recently and didn't care about anything else...or is it because the NPCs have done a good job of keeping secrets?
If we really want to "replace" all the dead corpses, what should we do with the existing army of dead corpses? Eliminate them on the spot???
On the other hand, if the ghoul itself is transformed from a dead corpse, it is actually a dead corpse in essence, right?
To be continued...
