Chapter 637: Chapter 637 - Beebot
"Wait, let's set up the name first," Broken said with a grin.
Aerin watched him curiously, tilting her head as though trying to guess his choice. "Got a name in mind?"
"The golem is made from a Sun Beetle Soul Stone, so I'll call it Beebot. Hehe," he said, grinning even wider.
"Beebot?" Aerin repeated, then giggled. "I think that's a cute name. Beebot it is!"
Satisfied with his decision, Broken immediately began inspecting the golem's details.
[Name: Beebot - Betteforge Crawler]
[Grade: Epic]
[Tier: 3]
[Level: 205]
[Skills - 3]
[...]
"So, Beebot is Epic-grade and Tier 3!" Broken exclaimed.
"I think this is the most optimal result we could have hoped for, don't you?"
"Absolutely," Broken agreed. "With Tier 3, this golem can 'see,' meaning it'll be able to move autonomously without needing to be manually driven, which is perfect for long-distance travel. Plus, it has natural weapons-I'm guessing those sharp insect legs could double as offensive tools and built-in defensive capabilities."
"I agree. With the high-quality materials we used, this golem is bound to be tough and durable. But I do have one concern: the composition might make it a bit slower than you'd like. All that heavy plating could limit its speed and agility."
Broken furrowed his brow at her observation, feeling a mix of curiosity and concern. He was eager to test it out and see for himself just how agile Beebot would be-whether it matched his vision or fell short.
He inspected Beebot's skills, finding three listed.
[Radiant Charge (Active Skill):
Focuses solar energy into its legs, delivering a high-speed charge that deals heavy damage on impact.]
The first skill was a charge attack. Considering the golem's design, it wasn't built for heavy offensive action, so this skill made sense. It could help with speeding up or smashing through obstacles. A perfect utility skill.
[Scuttling Surge (Active Skill):
Temporarily increases movement speed by 50%, enabling quick repositioning across various terrains.]
The second skill was clearly meant to enhance its mobility, boosting speed by 50%. This was another excellent skill, perfectly complementing the golem's purpose as a transportation tool.
[Leap Stride (Active Skill):
Compresses its legs to perform a powerful leap, allowing it to cross large gaps or reach elevated areas.]
He laughed at himself, shaking his head.
"Damn," he muttered. "I really should've held back and used cheaper materials, like iron and
basic monster parts."
But there was one experiment he was eager to try. Since Beebot could carry up to ten people inside, he wondered-would his summoning skill also transport everyone inside, just as it
had with Blackthorn?
To test it, Broken stepped out of the golem and asked Aerin to stay inside.
His plan was simple: summon Beebot in the same room. Even if it only shifted a short distance, it should be enough to confirm whether passengers would be teleported along with
the golem.
Once everything was ready, he activated his skill.
[Summon Elemental Golem (Conditional Active Skill) Lv. 1 activated.]
A glowing magic circle formed beneath Beebot, enveloping the golem completely. Moments later, a similar circle materialized in front of Broken, and Beebot reappeared at the new
location.
Unfortunately... Aerin remained standing at the original summoning point, looking mildly amused as she waved back at him.
Broken sighed. It seemed his idea hadn't worked. Beebot didn't function the same way as
Blackthorn.
The difference became clear as he thought it over. Blackthorn had the Symbiotic Armor skill, allowing someone inside to merge with the golem, effectively becoming part of it. They could even control the golem or speak through it.
In contrast, Beebot was just a transportation vehicle-anyone inside was merely a passenger, no different from someone riding on or clinging to the exterior.
Then a new thought struck him: what about tools? If he placed blacksmith forging tools inside Beebot, would those also be left behind when the golem was summoned?
His stomach sank at the possibility. Unfortunately, he couldn't test it now. He'd have to wait 24 hours for the skill's cooldown to reset.
But Broken quickly brushed off his concern, remembering that Beebot could be stored in his
Golem Storage.
[Elemental Forge Storage (Utility Skill) Lv. 1 activated.]
The golem vanished in an instant, leaving the room spacious once more.
"Happy now?"
"Not yet," Broken replied. "I still need to test its mobility outside."
"I suppose that'll have to wait," she said with a shrug.
"Yeah, no way we can do this in the forest," he admitted. With that, their first golem creation project was officially complete!
