Chapter 18: Three Strategies, the Wisdom of the Prophet
JACK FELT A LITTLE IRRITATED BY THE UNUSUALLY DULL ATMOSPHERE IN THE SHADOW RIFT AT THE MOMENT, AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THESE PRO PLAYERS WERE DOING. HE ADMITS THAT HE WAS A LITTLE HORRIFIED WHEN POSEIDON STARTED CHANTING CHANTING SPELLS. But so what?
JACK THOUGHT PROUDLY, IN THE END, THERE ARE STILL POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO HAVE THE FINAL SAY, AND THE STRENGTH OF POSEIDON ALONE IS COMPARED TO HUNDREDS OF THEM, EVEN IF HE IS STRONG, WHAT ABOUT IT? Could he really have been able to pierce the purple-black sky above this shadow rift?
IN FACT, ALTHOUGH JACK HAS BEEN RUNNING THE GUILD IN THE GAME FOR THE FAMILY AND CAN BE REGARDED AS A VETERAN PLAYER, IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT WHEN HE TOOK ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FAMILY, KING NUO HAPPENED TO RETIRE.
The reason why I say it is a coincidence is because, in the gaming world, the advantage of money and skill are like a pair of enemies. Before Nuo Tianwang, in fact, the real big names in online games were not these professional players, but the bosses of various consortia. What is a pro gamer? They are nothing more than working emperors. No matter how angry the emperor is, he can't hide the glare of the two words of part-time work in front of him. But after entering the era of the Heavenly King, everything began to change. Small and medium-sized clubs, which are dominated by technical advantages, began to play their elite advantages, and professional gamers for the first time truly dominated the success and failure of online games.
There was a pride in the pro gamers of that era, you had money, so what? We have the final say in the world of games, so to hell with the so-called money
After the retirement of Nuo Tianwang, this momentum suddenly weakened, although there are still small and medium-sized clubs in online games, but the right to speak seems to be back in the hands of those rich big bosses.
IN JACK'S OPINION, HE SIMPLY DOESN'T SUBSCRIBE TO THE PHILOSOPHIES OF THOSE PROFESSIONAL GAMERS.
"If life begins in the game, it eventually sleeps in the game. The game of life will satisfy all the fantasies of life. Sing with the sun, dance with the forest and the wind, and meet your fateful opponents. It's not an epic, it's more beautiful than an epic. ”——N-PRINCE。
"You never know what's going to happen until the last minute, and everyone involved has the possibility of winning, but that's the game." - No.
"Our world, our history, can only be created and written by madmen and people who are not self-conscious." - Lin Bo.
"It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not, it's just whether you want to. Games are not about life and death, games are higher than life and death. ”——GODLIKE。
"Why? Why fight? Where do we end up? Needless to say, true gamers never hesitate. —White Owl.
"If you don't respect the game, the game will punish you." AROL。
"I believe that there is nothing in this world that is worth the price of defiling the game." ONY。
"Only in the world of the game can the soul truly fly freely." ——ICELORD。
"Danger and warriors are like the scorching sun, shining on me and giving me strength. The game was born in the land of miracles, and in the land of miracles, we will never be conquered. "—Celonio? Visconti.
……
THE PIOUS WHISPERS OF THESE PROS FROM THE WGA OR UNDERGROUND GAMING WORLD HAVE TOUCHED COUNTLESS GAMERS, BUT JACK FEELS DISDAIN EVERY TIME HE HEARS THEM.
A group of logical megalomaniacs, a group of mentally retarded people who talk to themselves, a group of idiots who believe in fate, a group of crazy people who don't think about themselves
JACK WASN'T STUPID ENOUGH TO MAKE HIS IDEA PUBLIC, OF COURSE, BUT HE ALWAYS THOUGHT SO. JACK LOOKS DOWN ON THESE PROFESSIONAL GAMERS IN HIS HEART, AND HE BELIEVES THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM THE ANCIENT PLAYS, BUT JUST DOING THE JOB OF PLEASING OTHERS. In his opinion, there is nothing to envy about the skill of professional gamers, ants can lift objects 400 times heavier than themselves, and lift things 1,700 times heavier than themselves, but do people want to become ants because they envy ants?
IN JACK'S OPINION, IN FRONT OF THE POWER OF THE FAMILY, IN FRONT OF THE POWER OF THE CONSORTIUM, THAT GROUP OF PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS IS SO SMALL, IT IS REALLY A GROUP OF POOR PEOPLE, NO MATTER HOW STRONG THE ANT IS, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF KICKING HIM TO DEATH. As for the Tianwang Foundation, which has been in the game industry for more than ten years and has grown into a super consortium, as well as the legendary Nuo Tianwang, in JACK's opinion, they are just ants that can become humans after becoming a spirit.
POSEIDON…… Ridiculous man, why did he provoke so many people? Those pro gamers are also ridiculous, why are they so afraid of him?
THINKING OF TITAN'S DISDAINFUL WORDS JUST NOW, JACK FELT THAT THE ANGER IN HIS HEART COULD NOT BE SUPPRESSED.
"What nonsense am I talking to you as a layman?"
JACK SAW THE DEEP DISDAIN IN TITAN'S EYES FOR THAT MOMENT, AND HE REALIZED THAT THE KID WHO SEEMED TO BE LAUGHING AND SCOLDING WAS NEVER REALLY RESPECTFUL OF HIM. ,
NOT TO MENTION RESPECT, MAYBE TITAN NEVER LOOKED AT HIM IN HIS HEART.
PERHAPS TITAN SIMPLY DOESN'T THINK HE CAN UNDERSTAND THE WORLD OF SO-CALLED "PRO GAMERS".
JACK CLENCHED HIS FISTS IN ANGER.
This bunch of self-conscious pro gamers, this bunch of madmen
How dare you underestimate me?
How dare you take me seriously?
Have you forgotten that I have the power of a family consortium to invest in the game? Have you forgotten that money can buy everything I need?
I don't need to have a so-called game technique, what G data rating...... The most authoritative? Ha, this kind of thing is ridiculous.
I'm going to show you today what money can do
Yang Hai didn't teleport very far, he just teleported into a shadow inside the Shadow Rift. Yang Hai was shocked by Tidria's delicate ability to perceive space, and Yang Hai asked with a shy face, "Hehe, Master, can you teach me some other spells?" For example, if I use a spell like the Undead Scourge, I'll just use it once, and just use it once. I know you've studied necromancy in history—"
Tidria was shocked by Yang Hai's shamelessness, and simply pretended not to hear and didn't say a word.
Yang Hai thought to himself, the gorgeous idea of using the undead disaster to summon a group of undead creatures to smash on the top of the heads of those people had come to an end. Not to mention that Tidriaria's AI settings would not allow this respected prophet to do such a thing, even if there was the slightest possibility, the brain balancer would never allow this kind of behavior. Being able to get super spells such as group teleportation all rely on the side quests of the half-snake people, so think about it more...... That's greed.
Greed has no good end, so although such a treacherous plan was stillborn, Yang Hai didn't feel too sorry, just thinking about how to find trouble for those people.
Speaking of those guilds that have decided not to be enemies of DARK, Yang Hai has long advised them not to stay in the Shadow Rift, at this time they don't listen, and they are helpless to be affected for a while, this is not their own fault...... Yang Hai thought so shamelessly, ignoring the fact that it was impossible for professional players to give up the benefits that the boss was about to get and leave.
PROBABLY AMONG THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN THE SHADOW RIFT, JACK WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DARED NOT TO TAKE POSEIDON SERIOUSLY. For professional gamers, everyone knows what a person with a god costume and outstanding skills can do.
The most direct reflection of strength in the game is equipment and skills - whether this strength comes from the mastery of game skills or from a large amount of money.
JACK'S DISBELIEF DOESN'T STOP THEM FROM BEING CAUTIOUS WITH POSEIDON. BUT WHAT'S DEPRESSING IS THAT NOW THE PLAN TO CARVE UP THE BOSS HAS NOT BEEN DISCUSSED, AND EVERYONE IS NOT EASY TO DO. BUT THE MOST PAINFUL THING IS THAT IF THE BOSS IS FIGHTING AND THEN POSEIDON COMES OVER AND GENTLY HARASSES THEM, IT IS DEFINITELY ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DRINK A POT. In just a few encounters, everyone was impressed by POSEIDON's outstanding life-saving ability, although it is said that players who concentrate on tasks are indeed stronger than others because some tasks are super difficult, but it is still too scary to walk around in a crowd of hundreds of people.
Yang Hai didn't understand why those people didn't take the boss for a long time, but the other party is now wary of him, if they don't do the boss, Yang Hai really doesn't dare to jump out easily. THE SCROLL OF LITTLE TITAN JUST NOW FULLY PROVES THE FACT THAT THERE ARE STILL DRAGON STRONGMEN TODAY.
So he's waiting for an opportunity.
"ALAS," TIDRIA SIGHED, "POSEIDON, HOW COULD I HAVE TAKEN SUCH A DULL APPRENTICE AS YOURS." Are Evans' disciples fooling your brain? What did I tell you before I passed on your primordial alchemy? ”
"Uh...... You say, you say ......"
Yang Hai was speechless, he had long forgotten about it.
"Wisdom and martial courage are both a kind of strength, and both are a kind of strength," Tidria said with hatred of iron, "Your force is so weak, if you want to cause the most damage, how can you rely on your own sword?" Aren't you a polymath? Yes? Aren't you a primordial alchemist? Yes? Look for yourself, and you say that now is the strength of your wisdom greater or the strength of your force greater? ”
"......" Yang Hai was stunned.
"Then what should I do, and ask the teacher for advice?" Yang Hai humbly asked.
Even if this great prophet is not a supreme powerhouse, his achievements in his previous life are definitely not bad, and after a thousand years of soul torment in the Hell's Bell Tower, Yang Hai vaguely feels that even if Calderon is a voter, he may not be Tidry's opponent. If Tidria could give herself a little advice, what would be the way for the group of people down there? ,
"Hmph, if you promise me one thing, I'll tell you." Tidria said lightly.
Yang Hai had a pain in the egg.
"After today's battle, you must concentrate on practicing primordial alchemy and focus on the promotion of polymath, you don't have to carry two tattered knives all day long to cause trouble everywhere." Tidria said bitterly: "My stupid apprentice, you have been pursuing greater strength, it doesn't matter, it is everyone's nature to pursue strength, but do you know that everything you do is completely contrary to your pursuit?" ”
Yang Hai heard Tidria speak earnestly and pondered.
As for the tattered knife...... Yang Hai directly ignored it. The Amber Blade and the one-handed sword "Support" are weapons that most professional gamers can't ask for at this stage, but from Tidria's point of view, perhaps these two swords are polite to say that he is garbage. But what Tidria said, Yang Hai did not particularly understand.
As if he understood that with Yang Hai's "qualifications" and could not understand his own words at all, Tidria explained: "I emphasize again, your talent is not good, do you understand what I mean? Don't talk about a genius like Pyrot, even if it's a mediocre Edgar, your talent is far inferior to that. Edgar, you know the truth, right? The piece of equipment you're wearing was prepared for the wilderness trials when he was younger. Edgar's child, whose talent is mediocre among the Half-Snake Clan, has honed himself through hard training, improved himself through constant fighting, experienced countless dangers, and finally became one of the Big Five of the Half-Snake Clan. To be honest, with Edgard's qualifications, he was able to become the most powerful Shadow Hunter of the Half-Snake Clan, and everyone was extremely surprised. It's hard to imagine how much Edgar that kid endured and how many deaths he went through to achieve this, what about you? Can you be as lucky as Edgar? Can you survive that trial of blood and fire every time and improve somewhat? Even if you really can, even if you become as powerful as Edgar in the future, but your life will stop there, and it will be difficult to take a step forward, are you really willing? Maybe you won't be able to become as powerful as Edgar, because you're not as qualified as he is. ”
Yang Hai didn't know how to explain to Tidria in the way. If you convert the game data, then all players get one attribute point for every 5 levels, but the NPCs are completely different. For example, the Edgar in Tidria's mouth may get one attribute point for every 3 levels, and even a little more outrageous, such as Fernando, maybe you can get 1 attribute point for 1 level - and those recognized demons, such as Pyrot, may get 5 attribute points for every 1 level. This should be called qualification. But there is no way to explain these words to Tidria, and besides, listening to Tidria's meaning, is he expected to become a demon like Fernando?
, didn't that old man send a ......
This is not the first time he has heard such words from Tidria's mouth, but at that time, Yang Hai felt that it was probably just an ordinary complaint, complaining that his qualifications were too poor. Yang Hai has always been so complained about by the two old guys, and he is used to it.
However, Tidria seems to be serious.
The Prophet painstakingly explained: "Now you have gone astray by pursuing equipment and force too much. I can't watch you go on like this. If you want to become stronger, you can't do it with your current qualifications. It's like a cup, no matter how full it is, but it's only a glass of water. What if it's a bucket? Even if it's just one layer of water, it's better than a full glass of water. You see, you're not a barrel, not even a cup, you're just a cup. Now you have to force yourself to become a cup, and then you have to turn yourself into a bucket, and then you have to make yourself a bigger container, and that's what you're supposed to do now. But what are you doing? YOU ARE DESPERATELY FILLING WATER, DESPERATELY FILLING WATER, POSEIDON, THIS IS DOOMED TO NO GOOD RESULTS. ”
Tidria said conclusively: "Don't focus on temporary interests, if you want to become stronger, you must calm down, expand yourself, and lay a good foundation." POSEIDON, I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT YOU ARE VERY, VERY LUCKY THAT YOU BECAME A DISCIPLE OF EVANS AND INHERITED THE ORIGINAL ALCHEMY SCHOOL FROM ME. ”
"Oh, where's the luck?" Yang Hai asked. ,
"Because it's hard to turn a cup into a cup, it's even more impossible to turn a cup into a barrel, or a larger container." "But having inherited the essence of the original school of alchemy, if you can achieve something on the path of polymath, then there is no doubt that you will be able to do this difficult or even impossible thing," Tidria said. ”
Yang Hai was dizzy when he heard it.
"My talent will become as powerful as Pyrot's?"
"It's not about changing the talent, it's about catching up with the gap, and you have to figure that out." Tidria said: "By all sorts of means, to bridge the gap between you and those geniuses. Talent...... Unless you become an Evans voter, there's absolutely no way to change, but even catching up with the gap isn't that easy. The tribulations encountered in the pursuit of strength on the path of wisdom will not be much easier than the trials of life and death, but the efficiency between the two is completely different for you. Originally, you couldn't do this, because with your qualifications, you can't understand those advanced alchemy techniques at all, this kind of thing is no different from the Book of Heaven as far as you are concerned, maybe you have the slightest possibility to know every word on it, but you will definitely not understand it when you connect them together. Thankfully, you are a disciple of Evans, a polymath, and the door of the High Alchemy, which has been closed, has opened another gap in front of you, and this gap is where your pursuit of greater power may lie. Remember this saying, alchemy can do everything except alchemy. ”
Tidria paused and said to Yang Hai, who was deep in thought, "Silly apprentice, don't go further and further down the wrong path. After this incident, I concentrated on studying the hundred books, practicing alchemy, calming down, and taking a long-term view. You can be Evans' voter, and then meet me, and if you still can't get anything, that's ......."
Yang Hai took a deep breath and said sincerely: "I know the truth, teacher." ”
Tidria said helplessly, "Alas, it would be nice if I really knew the Tao." ”
Yang Hai hurriedly promised: "Of course, of course, as soon as this matter is over, I immediately turned my ears away from what was going on outside the window, and only read the sage books."
Tidria said with relief, "Very well, in that case, I will take care of your thoughts." Today's situation, the enemy is outnumbered, although it is just a group of rabble, but it is not suitable to be the enemy, and it should be outwitted. There are three strategies, you listen well. ”
Yang Hai nodded.
"The polymath is proficient in all things, and his mastery of geographical knowledge is not inferior to that of a geographer like me." Tidria said, "Listen, this is the best policy. Just now I saw in your field of vision, a place where the structure is already extremely fragile, the 'potential' of this place is very, very thin, but it is still a little bit close to collapse. The geological structure of the Shadow Rift was unstable in my time, and after thousands of years of evolution, it seems that there are still occasional spatial rifts, although it has gradually become what it is now. What you need to do is to push the tide and completely overturn the geological formations that are going to collapse at that point. The structure is so fragile that it won't be difficult for you. Once there is a rift in space, the power of the plane is lost in space, which is the best food for powerful creatures. In this way, there will definitely be creatures in the heterotopic plane that will be drawn out by the force of the collapse. If you're lucky enough to lure in some powerful creatures, there's no chance of anyone in the rift surviving. You can use some special means to push the collapse of the geological structure in the distance, and no matter how powerful the creature is lured out, it will not notice you, and by the time it slaughters everyone in the rift, you will already be drifting away. This plan has no trace, is safe and simple, and has strong lethality, so it is the best policy. ”
Yang Hai took a breath of cold air, this strategy is really poisonous. Yang Hai suddenly understood that although he had become a polymath, he was still far from being able to put this knowledge into practice. Tidria saw things from a perspective that he couldn't match, and for a while, he kind of understood what Tidria was talking about.
"Look, that little tree rope demon is stuck at the bottom of a cliff." Tidria continued: "Listen, this is the way to go. In primitive alchemy, there is a very basic refining method, which can be purified by purifying a large number of inferior materials to produce treasures. For example, earth elemental particles are so common that all earth elemental creatures drop them, and things like that are everywhere. But for you, who have mastered primitive alchemy, earth elemental particles have a different meaning. You can purify a large number of Earth Elemental Particles into a Primordial Earth. Then, you can use a large amount of Origin Soil to purify a Earth Crystal. Earth crystals are not enough, you have to purify a huge amount of earth crystals, and then condense these earth crystals into a core of the earth. The core of the earth is what we need. The Tree Rope Demon is right below the cliff, and you can walk around to the top of that cliff and throw this Earth Core down. The Tree Rope Demon is a tree spirit, the level of this Tree Rope Demon is so low, not to mention the core of the earth, even the crystals of the earth have a great possibility to greatly supplement the life of the Tree Rope Demon, and promote the Tree Rope Demon to mutate, if you throw down the more powerful Earth Core, then the Tree Rope Demon will not only definitely mutate, but may even advance. You can continue to throw earth crystals from the cliffs to the bottom of the cliff to replenish the life of the Rope Demon and use his hand against your enemies. This strategy is very labor-intensive, not as lethal as the best policy, and not very safe, and to make you spend a lot of money, it is not as clean as the best policy, so it is the middle policy. ”
Yang Hai was dumbfounded when he heard this, he could still add blood to the boss?
Although it costs a lot of gold to collect the earth elemental particles in the market, Uncle King and Uncle Captain will be happy to watch the show.
"What about the next step?"
"Down...... Tidria hesitated: "This is too much...... Alas, don't say it. ”
"Teacher, tell me."
"That's it." Tidria sighed: "This is the next step...... It's called darkness under the lamp. ”
Tidria reluctantly said the next step, and Yang Hai immediately clapped his hands. Tidria can come up with such a plan, and he usually has no shortage of yin people, otherwise how could he have such a weird and vicious idea?
This time...... With Mr. Tidria for advice, you are unlucky.
Children, experience the wisdom of the prophets.
