Chapter 152

After Instructor Falong left, the students also scattered one after another.

Gao De was the same.

He first went to the restaurant to finish dinner, and then went back to continue building the 【Insect Swarm Proliferation】 spell model.

Yesterday, he exhausted his mental power but failed to successfully build the 【Insect Swarm Proliferation】 spell model.

Today, it seems that things have turned for the better; as soon as he started trying for the first time, he succeeded in one step.

Seeing the 【Insect Swarm Proliferation】 spell model appear in the spell sea.

"Feng Ling Yue Ying." Gao De, whose heart was slightly happy, immediately called out the simple information interface.

The origin column showed that he had two more points of origin that were full but not yet used.

As for the spell column, it was a pile of spells that had not been added points, flashing and "seducing" Gao De.

Gao De was unmoved, with a clear goal.

Weak water three thousand, only take one scoop to drink.

Although it is because, only one scoop can be drunk... Gao De's eyes looked at the 【Insect Swarm Proliferation】 that newly appeared in the spell column, and he lightly clicked on the yellow "+" sign flashing after its entry.

He kept the origin just for these rare spells.

Swish! The "Big Dipper" representing the scorpion origin instantly left the nest, the old spell model branched out, and quickly expanded into a new spell model.

Soon, 【Insect Swarm Proliferation】 in the spell column became 【Insect Swarm Proliferation+】.

【Insect Swarm Proliferation+】 (Conjuration, 0-circle):

You cause mites, fleas, mosquitoes, and other insects to appear temporarily on a creature within range (30 feet) that you can see.

The target suffers a certain amount of poison damage depending on the strength of its physique, and experiences negative states such as itching and paralysis.

Extra: You can cause imperceptible parasites such as midges, gnats, gadflies, ticks, etc., to appear permanently on a creature within range (30 feet) that you can see.

Thereby causing the creature to randomly contract various diseases including hemorrhagic fever, typhus, tick-borne encephalitis, etc.

This is the time when "Feng Ling Yue Ying" has brought the greatest change to the spell among all the additions so far.

It can simply be said that it is accompanied by a new spell, dividing Insect Swarm Proliferation into two versions: toxin/disease.

【Insect Swarm Proliferation+】 (Toxin) is a combat spell, and 【Insect Swarm Proliferation+】 (Disease) is more like a functional spell.

In intense and short battles, it cannot play any role, so it is still necessary to use 【Insect Swarm Proliferation+】 (Toxin).

Its strength lies in sneak attacks.

If someone offends Gao De, and Gao De is not easy to retaliate directly on the surface, then 【Insect Swarm Proliferation+】 (Disease) can come in handy.

In any case, being able to improve the diversity of one's spell means is always good, so Gao De is generally very satisfied.

The next day.

After finishing today's course "Basic Cultural Studies" and cultivation, Gao De came to the spell experimental field again.

He kept Instructor Falong's reminder yesterday in mind, and the function of the spell-testing puppet made him very interested.

He also really needs to test the spells he has mastered more deeply.

Especially since several attack spells have been added points by "Feng Ling Yue Ying," to be honest, Gao De has not fully understood the specific changes they have produced.

He came to the front of the counter and asked for the price: "How much does a separate private room cost?"

"5 silver for half an hour for magic user apprentices, 1 gold for half an hour for formal magic users, rented by the half hour." The staff member gave the price.

The staff of the spell experimental field is not a young and beautiful lady like other places in the academy, but a bald man.

He looks very imposing.

"Formal magic users are far superior to magic user apprentices in both spell power and total castable spells, and have greater wear and tear on spell-testing puppets, so the corresponding price is also higher." The bald man explained an extra sentence.

Gao De nodded and handed over 5 three-leaf flower silver coins, "I am a magic user apprentice, renting for half an hour." "Alright, please show your identity badge."

Gao De handed over his identity badge, which will contain his "student status information," including his magic user level.

The bald man took Gao De's identity badge, swiped it on the alchemy machine at the counter, confirmed Gao De's magic user level, then took the 5 silver coins he handed over, and quickly carried out the registration work.

"Second room on the left, Room 8." Soon, he handed a magic card similar to a "room card" and the identity badge to Gao De.

Gao De took it, found the private room he rented, swiped the magic card in the groove at the door, and the corresponding magic array drove the gate to open.

He entered it.

Although it is a private room, it is actually about the size of a basketball court in Gao De's past life, with three spell-testing puppets placed inside.

"Let's test the power of the spells mastered so far." Gao De aimed at a spell-testing puppet, his heart moved, and a emerald green acid ball in his hand smashed straight at it.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle! A sizzling sound came from the spell-testing puppet, and white smoke rose at the same time, accompanied by the irritating smell of sulfuric acid.

Subsequently, the "display screen" of the spell-testing puppet's eyes jumped out text at the right time:

"Category: Strong acid damage."

"Attack power: 6 grams of magic crystal equivalent."

This is instantaneous data.

Similarly, as a cantrip, 【Acid Splash】 alone in terms of power is almost only half of 【Eldritch Blast】.

However, the residual acid attached to the surface of the spell-testing puppet will also continuously cause corrosion damage with an attack power of 1 degree.

It lasted for ten seconds before the acid in the 【Acid Splash+】 cast by Gao De was completely consumed.

Calculated this way, the total power should be 16 degrees.

Of course, this calculation does not take into account the enemy's resistance.

If the enemy has a certain resistance, the 1-degree continuous corrosion damage may result in a situation where it cannot break the defense at all.

Subsequently, Gao De tested other attack spells.

【Fire Arrow+】: Fire damage, attack power 8 degrees.

Fire Arrow is currently still the spell with the highest damage among the spells Gao De has mastered.

In most cases, high power equals high damage.

So far, Fire Arrow is still the attack spell Gao De uses most frequently.

【Ray of Frost+】: Freezing damage, attack power 7 degrees.

The power is slightly higher than Acid Splash and slightly weaker than Fire Arrow.

But if the spell-testing puppet has already been attacked by Ray of Frost twice, the attack power of the third Ray of Frost cast on it will increase to 10 degrees.

Calculated by the sum of the power of three times, the 7 degrees + 7 degrees + 10 degrees of 【Ray of Frost+】 is equal to the 8 degrees * 3 of 【Fire Arrow+】.

However, the first two 【Ray of Frost+】 will slow down the speed of the spell-testing puppet.

The third 【Ray of Frost+】 will condense a thin layer of ice on the surface of the spell-testing puppet, temporarily freezing it.

It is equivalent to having two soft controls and one hard control under the condition of equal power.

Looking at it this way, the cost-effectiveness of 【Ray of Frost+】 is still very high.

Especially in an already extremely cold environment, it doesn't even need the paving of the first two spells to directly trigger the freezing effect.

【Insect Swarm Proliferation+】: Poison damage, attack power 6 degrees.

As a rare spell, the attack power of Insect Swarm Proliferation is not high, equal to Acid Splash.

As for 【Insect Swarm Proliferation+】 (Disease), since the spell-testing puppet is an alchemy creation, not a creature, it will not contract and cannot detect diseases, so it cannot be tested for the time being.
