Chapter 90: Jimmy the Fire Thief

Lu Yao clicked on the snowman and switched to [Manual Mode].

Jimmy immediately stopped moving and stood there blankly.

The health and mana of the snowman were displayed in the lower left corner of the screen, and its two active skills were displayed in the lower right corner.

[Snowball LV5] (5 mana)

Create a snowball to attack the enemy. If hit by a snowball, there is a certain probability of entering the [Frozen] state.

[Old God Curse LV10 (10000/10000)]

Lu Yao clicked on the curse.

Unlike other active skills, this click suddenly changed the number behind the curse.

(9990/10000)

The faith in the upper right corner also decreased by 10 points.

As expected.

After the experiment, Lu Yao temporarily stopped.

To completely eliminate the curse on the snowman, the cost is 10,000 points of faith. This is also a heavy burden for Lu Yao.

Can he get a corresponding return after investing so much faith?

Lu Yao was unsure.

Opening a blind box is somewhat of a gamble, lacking the information basis for judgment.

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 without consumption, which is of great significance to deal with powerful enemies with high burst and high movement speed.

These features are also the combat value of Snowman Jimmy.

Lu Yao designated it as the third apostle because of this ability.

Jimmy is now one of us, and we must cultivate it for a long time and further develop its ability application.

It is only level 5 now, and even cave monsters can be easily hammered.

But to put it another way... Jimmy has the highest growth space among the three apostles.

Should I completely give up the future of the snowman and always treat it as a tool man and a suicide bomb?

Lu Yao asked himself.

No.

The blood knight is extremely high in level, that is, the strongest in combat power, representing the present.

The snowman symbolizes a future full of possibilities.

Lu Yao no longer hesitated.

Since I have to cultivate the snowman sooner or later, it is better to do it today than to choose a day.

Let's start by removing the curse from it.

Lu Yao clicked the mouse, and his faith continued to invest!

9980/10000

9970/10000

...

9810/10000

...

After he pressed for a while, the progress bar suddenly filled up.

The faith value in the upper right corner was reduced by half.

Faith: 11,545

Lu Yao exhaled.

No matter what the result is, this is his decision.

Snowman, you fight for me.

A line of subtitles appeared in the simulator.

[The old god's curse is completely eliminated from the snowman, and its seal is gradually being lifted. ]

Jimmy was still frozen in place.

Snowflakes began to emerge from its body, and these snowflakes wrapped the snowman, forming a white mist.

A layer of faint golden light lingered in the snowflakes, which gradually broke, and the snow mist dissipated, and the picture became clear again.

Lu Yao, who was full of expectations, saw what was inside and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

It's so fancy, but it's still a snowman.

Red velvet hat, buttonholes, branch arms, red gloves, red scarf around the neck... It's exactly the same as when I first saw Jimi.

The only difference is that there is a snowflake symbol under the snowman's feet, as if it has recovered a certain state.

An exclamation mark rose above its head, and a dialogue box appeared at the same time: "... I remember, I remember, I was imprisoned in the black abyss by the God of Darkness."

Lu Yao double-clicked the snowman to look at the data first.

...

[Apostle LV45] Fire Stealing Snowman Jimi

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 consumption when casting.

[Zero Degree Field]

When the ability is activated, all targets within Jimi's field of vision will continue to suffer low temperature damage and their speed will be reduced.

[Snowball LV15] (15 mana)

Create snowballs to attack enemies. If hit by snowballs, there is a certain probability of entering the [Frozen] state.

[Blizzard LV5] (100 mana)

Summon an ice storm to cause continuous damage to the surrounding area. The storm damage depends on the ability level and mana.

[Hand of Stealing Fire LV5] (600 mana)

[Jimi's exclusive ability] Jimi stole the fire sealed in the Dark Temple and gave it to everyone outside the temple. Jimi has a magical ability to steal and hide, and can even successfully steal things from the gods. The success rate and effect of stealing depend on the ability level and speed.

...

Lu Yao was shocked.

The snowman who looks honest actually has three hands!

It even dares to take things from the Dark Temple...No wonder it was sealed in the abyss by the God of Darkness and tortured over and over again.

Lu Yao was already angry just by putting himself in the shoes of the character whose house was stolen from the temple.

Considering that the snowman 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 indeed worthy of the name of hero before.

Unfortunately.

After the curse was lifted, the [Undead] characteristic also disappeared.

This is not an invincible skill, but a companion to the curse of the Dark God, which makes the snowman fall into the punishment of constant resurrection and eternal torture.

Although Lu Yao was reluctant to give up this ability, he had to accept it.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

The snowman's [Hand of Stealing Fire] specialty can be fully utilized.

For example.

[Black Abyss] This is a world-class treasure house left by the Lord God...

Lu Yao quickly typed above the snowman's head to ask.

——Can the Hand of Stealing Fire be used in the Black Abyss?

"Lord God, it's okay."

The snowman was very respectful, lowered his head, and did not dare to look directly at the computer screen from inside.

——Is the Hand of Stealing Fire also effective against the tyrant?

"Yes, Lord God."

——Will it be discovered if it is used on him?

"Lord God, please believe in my ability. Many years ago, I successfully stole the fire of faith in the Lord God's Temple."

Lu Yao frowned.

This fire is not the fire he imagined.

The snowman stole the faith of the gods...

Lu Yao was a little confused.

Jimmy explained: "My Lord God, the God of Darkness did not collect faith through normal means. He took away the light of the entire world and locked all the light in the temple. You must offer faith to get the light he gives."

"At that time, the whole world was in a state of complete darkness, and monsters in the dark were everywhere. They hunted all living things. Without light, they were unprecedentedly powerful."

"There was blood and debris everywhere...only the smell of death and endless black."

"I want to steal the light and restore the color of this world."

"It's a pity that the light was sealed in the body of the God of Darkness. I have no way to steal the light without alarming 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 these beliefs to everyone. I hope these fires return to their original places..."

"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 necessarily bring good rewards, this is the reality of life. Because of this, good people are always valuable.

He typed again and asked an incomprehensible question.

-Why do you want to steal fire?

"No one has ever been able to steal the light and fire of the gods."

"Everyone thinks that snowmen can only make snowballs and are stupid and dumb monsters."

Snowman Jimmy said: "If I can do it, then I will be the most unique snowman."

"..."

Lu Yao silenced it.

The countless words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Okay.

People really can't be generalized.

Especially it's a snowman.

Being able to scale unprecedented heights on the road to self-destruction is also a kind of talent.
