Chapter 176 Pseudo Mega Evolution - Stone Pterosaur

Cheng Tian's efficiency in hatching eggs was faster than expected. Obviously, the egg-hatching physique and crazy driving added by the Sun God Gem Fragment also helped a lot.

If it were someone else, the hatching speed would probably be faster if they relied on a constant temperature nest.

However, at the same time this prompt popped up, a decision-making prompt also appeared.

[The egg is about to hatch. Please decide in advance what form the hatched unit will take - servant or combat mount.]

The egg, which was originally cracked and shaking, was also paused at this moment, obviously waiting for Cheng Tian to make the final decision.

A thoughtful look appeared on Cheng Tian's face.

Servants and combat mounts, both forms of existence have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Theoretically speaking, all players can collect minions, and the biggest feature of minions is that they can grow like players.

Take Wu Tan as an example. Although he is still a temporary servant, he can get the rewards for completing the main line. When Cheng Tian completes the main task and obtains free attribute points and free skill points, he can also get 60% of the numerical rewards. Rounding up, Cheng Tian gets 7 free attribute points and 2 free skill points, and he can get 4 free attribute points and 1 free skill point.

In addition, depending on the type of servant, there are various exclusive features. For example, the mercenary units in "Diablo" can wear some equipment and can even be trained as half a player. Although Utan has four weapon slots, he cannot wear other equipment.

Generally speaking, players will only recruit one servant at most, because the second servant is not only generally more difficult to recruit, but the amount of attribute skill points obtained after clearing the level will also drop to 30%, and so on.

Theoretically, players can collect more minions, but the more minions they have, the more their growth potential will be reduced, and players with more minions will have to pay more fees for this.

Rather than blindly raising them, it is more cost-effective to invest all resources in a single servant.

Another difference from combat mounts is that servants can be resurrected. If you can't afford the money, you can still be resurrected by completing tasks.

The reason why Curry Singh was so decisive in letting his Onix self-destruct was because that Onix was his first servant unit and could be resurrected.

Although there will be a price of significantly reduced intimacy, being able to survive at a critical moment is better than anything else.

The weakness of servants is that they are usually in a relatively weak initial form when they become servants. They need time and the player's main line completion rate to grow. Even if you can train the servants into the desired appearance through human intervention, they will inevitably go through a weak period.

As for combat mounts, you can basically refer to the mammoth war elephant and the red Tyrannosaurus Rex. It can be said that they are complete when they appear on the stage and have considerable combat power. At the same time, they have basically overdrawn their future growth potential and it is basically difficult to upgrade them easily.

In essence, combat mounts are props that can be traded, but they cannot enjoy the enhancement functions of equipment props, and once they die, they are permanently dead. Their strengths and weaknesses are clear at a glance.

By the way, another key point is that there can only be one mount or combat mount at a time.

Cheng Tian was able to summon both the War Mammoth and the Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex simultaneously because the War Mammoth was considered a combination of a combat mount and a biological vehicle. The biological vehicle was unique to Metal Slug, so as long as Cheng Tian placed it in the tank matrix, it could be summoned simultaneously with the other combat mounts. Ultimately, Cheng Tian decided to let the Dragon Egg compete with the Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex for the vehicle's spot.

As a servant, a genetic research ape is enough, and the newly born pterosaur can attack directly in the form of an adult!

The moment Cheng Tian made the decision, the dragon egg cracked decisively, and a stream of light flew out from the inventory, blocking the natural light above Cheng Tian's head.

Before Cheng Tian could react, he was grabbed by a powerful claw around the waist and thrown into the air with a strong gust of wind pressure.

The broad dragon wings, huge head, powerful legs, and strong tail, these basic body structures are exactly the same as the "Fossil Pterosaur" with the illustration number 142 in the "Pokémon" blueprint.

However, the one that was flying freely with Cheng Tian looked very different in appearance.

Not only does it have a "shiny Pokémon" appearance, its skin is purple from head to tail. Its head, chin, wing claws, abdomen, back, and tail end all have black-gray keratinized protrusions with a rocky texture, making it look even more ferocious than the fossil pterosaur!
Cheng Tian was stunned when he saw the full appearance of the "fossil pterosaur" with the help of the crystal eyes, because this was exactly what a "super fossil pterosaur" should look like!
This is the "Original Stone Pterosaur" that has perfectly superimposed its genes with those of the original pterosaur and the fossil pterosaur, and has directly jumped to an adult form as a combat mount.

At the same time, the eggshell remaining in Cheng Tian's inventory collapsed and deformed, turning into the shape of a rein.

[Reins of the Stone Wyvern: Golden Legend/Lv-, Mount Summon, Combat Mount, Flying Mount. Requires Agility 45 or Charisma 28. Since you personally hatched the Stone Wyvern, under the influence of the Imprint Effect, you can summon and ride the Stone Wyvern directly without requiring it.

After the pterosaur egg with the most primitive and pure bloodline was fused with the fossil pterosaur amber, the highly adapted genes completed a qualitative transformation and fusion, and the result was an aerial overlord that combined the characteristics of both.

The basic attributes are equivalent to "Red Tyrannosaurus Reins".

[Original Stone Pterosaur: Combat mount, single-player flying mount, similar to the boss template. Riding requirements have been ignored.

HP=1080、MP=180。力量24、敏捷42、精神18、魅力25。

Mount Features/Skills: Pressure, Rockfall, Primal Power, Double Fang (to be improved)
Pressure - A Pokémon trait and passive ability. Stone Wyvern's presence creates a strong sense of pressure on the opponent, forcing them to increase the cost of their skills. All enemy skills targeted against Stone Wyvern have their cost increased by 50% to 100%.

Continuous Rockfall - Active Skill. This special talent for rock throwing, gained through the influence of the Primal Plum Blossom attribute, allows for rapid, continuous release at the expense of reduced damage per shot. The Primal Stone Wyvern can grab or use mana to gather large rocks and hurl them at the target, dealing damage equal to its Agility value and a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch, forcibly interrupting the target's current skill cast. Grabbing a rock and throwing it consumes only 2 MP, while gathering a magical rock consumes 5 MP. Cooldown: 15 seconds.

Primal Power—Active Skill. Unleashes the primal power within your bloodline in a burst of energy, dealing damage equal to the combined Strength, Agility, and Spirit. This attack has a 10% chance of triggering "Primal Boiling," granting a +5 buff to Strength, Agility, and Spirit for 1 minute. Consumes 25 MP, with a 5-minute cooldown.

Double Fierce Fang (To be completed) - Active skill. The Stone Dragon's teeth can easily bite through its prey's skin, dealing bite damage equal to Strength*3 points, with a 30% chance of causing it to flinch. Consumes 15 MP, cooldown of 3 minutes. If it is fed with a Spade or Heart Attribute, the Stone Dragon's teeth will inflict additional damage from the dual elements of "Fire Burn" and "Cold Freeze."

[Additional comment: I don't know which of the Plum Pterosaur and the Fossil Pterosaur used the other as a Mega Evolution Stone, but in any case, this is a perfect fusion second only to the "Super Fossil Pterosaur" form.]
