Chapter Ninety-Nine: Boredom, You Know, Boring
Yang Hai found himself walking into a misunderstanding.
Basically, hand-to-hand combat is Yang Hai's ultimate move in the Forgotten Continent. As long as the enemy is stuck by him, he can basically be hacked to death with two knives, and the Vault Dweller is one of the professions that is best at close combat, Yang Hai's reaction is so fast, and the equipment is so good, basically the people who are stuck by him can't escape the fate of being cut to death.
But today, he met an enhanced shaman who was also good at close combat, and the opponent's equipment was not much worse than him, and what made Yang Hai even more unbelievable was that this person's reflexes were on par with his own.
After two rounds of fighting, although the scene was evenly matched, Yang Hai was indeed beaten.
The opponent's supernatural performance was beyond Yang Hai's imagination, and for him, failing to quickly solve the opponent in the bayonet fight was actually a failure. Now that he thinks about it carefully, after being beaten by his opponent just now, he ignored a lot of details, which he can usually notice when he is paying attention.
For example, why does such an opponent not concentrate on dueling with him, but knocking so much nonsense with code? BARNES IS A CLEVER AND CUNNING OPPONENT, AND HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REALIZE THAT NO MATTER HOW DISTRACTED, THERE WILL BE NO DAMAGE TO THE FIGHTING POWER OF POSEIDON'S DIVISION. Just for verbal stimulation?
Another obvious suspicion that Yang Hai ignored was, why would Barnes choose to fight so actively? EVERYONE ON EARTH KNOWS WHAT POSEIDON IS BEST AT, BUT WHO KNOWS WHO BARNES IS BEFORE THIS? Attacking the enemy's strengths with his own strengths is definitely not a good strategy to defeat the enemy, and Barnes has such a strong personal ability, it is much better to use it as a miracle trick to yin himself than to die knock.
A bold idea popped into Yang Hai's mind.
Barnes is not as strong as it seems.
Yang Hai recalled that after his debut, there were already a large number of game demos. The Hans Luna family, where Barnes is a member, has always been known for its high-tech electronics, and if there is a large number of good data analysts, plus more advanced digital simulators, the videos can be analyzed. Although it takes a lot of work to analyze a set of moves that are specifically used against yourself, it is very easy to complete this job with the power of the Hansruna family.
Close hand-to-hand combat has its own particularity, most of the player's every move depends on reaction and instinct, the part of instinct that can be guessed by analyzing the habitual actions of the DEMO, the part of the reaction decision actually depends on the opponent's actions, which belongs to the part that Barnes can control, as long as Barnes himself has enough ability, it can also be done.
Of course, there are big problems with this, and one of the biggest problems is that it is only a parry. There is no power to win, and once Yang Hai reacts and changes his moves casually, Barnes will collapse in less than 10 seconds.
This explains almost all the doubts:
For example, Barnes has to take the initiative to be close to himself, because only then will he not show his stuff, and if it is a fight, then it is purely funny to use data and simulators to analyze the movements of both sides.
For example, why did Barnes want to say those crooked nonsense, if it weren't for the interference of this huge amount of nonsense, Yang Hai felt that he would have seen that something was wrong.
But he was eventually provoked by Barnes. Started fighting back in the same way, and the things that should have been noticed didn't notice anymore.
As for why Barnes would use this method of impossible victory to duel with him - Yang Hai actually almost figured it out.
He sneered, and a shadow stepped behind Barnes.
Barnes's reaction was indeed good, at least there was room to parry under such an attack. Parry the first attack, and then continue to take the initiative to get close, and you can fight again. But this time Yang Hai won't give him such a chance, and he leans sideways to get out of the way of Barnes' return shot. Changing his accustomed attack, a backhand sword slashed directly through the throat of Barnes, who didn't react.
The sword wasn't fast, but Barnes's tomahawk was delivered in the wrong direction to block the attack. Yang Hai immediately knew that he had guessed correctly.
Yang Hai sighed in his heart, what a miracle, the old pirate who had survived the wind and waves almost capsized in the beautiful and quiet small harbor, if it weren't for Leorick's reminder......
The whistling sound in the fighter arena stopped at once, and everyone was stunned, not reacting to what was happening. The two players seem to be so evenly matched, but why did Barnes hang up all of a sudden?
The law of the arena protects Barnes with a drop of blood left, and at the same time forces him to disarm and admit defeat, Yang Hai squinted at Barnes and said, "Thank you, thank you, it's really an impressive game." For the first time in my life, someone played me as an AI, and I was so happy. ”
Barnes didn't say a word, pursed his lips and looked at him.
"It's kind of like Chaplin's silent comedy, but I remember you, Barnes? Mr. Hansruna. Yang Hai reached out and caught the scroll that had been dropped from the arena, that was the purpose of their coming here, the treasure map of the Sea Emperor Demon Pendant. The best-of-three match is over, and the prize will automatically fall into the hands of the winner. Yang Hai opened the treasure map and took out a delicate note from it.
Yang Hai looked at the note and laughed.
The note reads:
This victory is for you
The next time we meet, we'll split the winners
Your admirer, Barnes
Sure enough, Barnes didn't even think about winning this game.
Yang Hai flew the note to Barnes's face, and Barnes lowered his head, unaware.
"IT TURNS OUT THAT THE SCRIPT HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN," YANG HAI SAID DISDAINFULLY: "THE BATTLE OF POSEIDON FOR THREE HUNDRED ROUNDS, MOCKING TO MY HEART'S CONTENT, AND THEN DRIFTING AWAY, TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO GIVE UP THE GAMBLING CONTRACT, AND THEN LEAVING THIS NOTE TO ME, DISGUSTING ME AT THE SAME TIME TO SHOW MY NOBLE AND COLD EYES." EVERYONE WILL SAY, WHAT AN ELEGANT AND FREE SON, POSEIDON'S DIRT BUN IS NOT WORTH MENTIONING IN FRONT OF SUCH A REAL NOBLEMAN. ”
Yang Hai laughed as he spoke: "Barnes, this script is definitely Oscar-level, it's really exciting." I can't help but want to see what it would be like if it did happen. It's a shame. Yang Hai shook his head: "You are an Oscar-level screenwriter, but you are a director and actor at the level of Jin Sumei, it's a pity that this good script is a pity, and it's a pity that I played a wonderful role as the best supporting actor." ”
"Our story is going to be wonderful." Barnes suddenly laughed and looked up at Yang Hai.
"That's what I thought, Barnes." Yang Hai didn't laugh, he repeated what Barnes had just said to him very seriously: "People like me are very, very easy to get bored, boring, you know, boring. You're the best toy I've ever seen, don't let me down until I get tired of you, I warned you, don't let me down. ”
Barnes could no longer bear such humiliation, and walked down with his cloak on his face.
Yang Hai put away the treasure map, gave a flying kiss to the silent boxer arena, and left quickly. (To be continued......)
