Chapter 20: Here comes Goldfinger

Nothing happened along the way, so I got home and locked the door to prevent anyone from coming back suddenly.

I plugged my imaging bracelet into my computer, and found that there was no model in it, empty, only a file named "Subsystem Documentation" lying alone on the hard disk, I couldn't wait to read through this file, and then I roughly understood the role of the subsystem, this thing is really awesome, forceful, it actually added a plug-in function to the bracelet:

A large number of enhancement plug-ins are stored in the subsystem, and according to the strength of their enhancement amplitude, they are divided into six levels: red, orange, purple, blue, green, and white.

At the same time, a Specificity meter is built into the subsystem that records a mysterious energy called Specificity, which can be obtained by defeating and absorbing anomalous phenomena.

At the beginning, the bracelet will have a red slot, and you can choose one of the three red plug-ins to install and upgrade.

After that, whenever enough specificity is collected, the bracelet will upgrade to unlock a white level plug-in slot, and you can choose one of the three white plug-ins to install and upgrade.

When five plugin slots of the same level are unlocked, a higher level plugin slot is automatically unlocked.

The specificity required to unlock a slot will gradually increase with the number of slots you currently have, doubling that value with each white slot!

I couldn't wait to put the bracelet on my hand, and according to the method introduced in the instruction document, my mind moved, and the light on the bracelet flashed, and a plane suddenly lit up in front of me, like a holographic projection, floating in front of me as if it were substance. At the top is written "Surreal Engine Upgrade Interface", and at the bottom is a long horizontal meter, which should be the so-called Idiosyncratic Value Meter. The current stored specificity value is zero, but the top shows that the current bracelet level is level 1.

Raising his hand and sliding on the plane, the information on the plane flips up a page, and the second page lists an empty red slot, and below the slot there are three plug-ins that can currently be selected:

Inspiration (Red): Passive, you can summon existing models in your network without having to save them in your hand ring. Models summoned in this way have double the energy consumption coefficient of the usual one. Models of the same setting can only be summoned once in a day.

Great Freedom (Red): Passive, you can no longer open the Imaging Space, and you no longer need the Imaging Space assistance when you summon the model.

Retainer (Red): Passive, you can set an original character model as your own model. The model will be growable and will not require energy. Once set up, you will no longer be able to use character models other than your retainers.

I'm so ...

How can I choose between three such powerful skills!! I realized that I also have difficulty in choosing.

Needless to say, the first skill is very awesome at a glance, and you don't need to prepare the model in advance, as long as you move your mind, you can summon the existing model. That is to say, I completely omitted the complicated preparation work in the early stage.,Summoning whatever you want in battle.,Although a model can only be used once a day.,But for me, an old otaku who has played all kinds of online games.,It's not a problem.,Don't say anything else.,Just the heroes in League of Legends and DOTA appear one by one.,I'll ask the peculiarities on the other side if they're afraid?

Let's talk about the second one, the skill called "Great Freedom", what is the concept that the summoned model does not need to be in the imaging space? You must know that the summoned model can only exist in the imaging space, and the bracelet must also be located in the imaging space. This meant that I myself had to deal with the anomalies at a very close distance, and when faced with some dangerous anomalies, it was undoubtedly a huge threat. And if I don't need to rely on the imaging space, then I can command the model to fight with the anomalies from a safe distance. It's not an exaggeration to say that I even made a camera on the model and sat at home and watched the live stream.

And the third skill undoubtedly has the greatest growth potential, not to mention anything else, the fact that it does not consume energy is already a very powerful function. You must know that the biggest limitation of the imaging bracelet is energy, theoretically we can make super anti-heaven things, but according to the rules of energy consumption, the more difficult the setting to achieve, the greater the energy consumption, and the setting that is too powerful often has no way to summon it at all. And this so-called exclusive model doesn't need to consume energy, and it has to be an original model! That is to say, can I add some anti-heaven settings to him at will? Isn't that...

I'm really going to die.

No, I have to calm down and think hard before I can make this decision, after all, according to the documentation, I don't know what year and month the next red skill will be obtained, and I have to choose carefully.

Raising my hand to close the selection screen, I sat in the computer chair and lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. After sitting quietly for a while, I felt a little calmer and my thoughts gradually clearer.

First of all, the first skill, although it is very strong, but if you think about it, the function of this skill is nothing more than to save a lot of time in sorting out the model, and it doesn't seem to be of any substantial help to my strength itself. Wasting a precious red slot to save time is definitely not a wise choice.

And the second skill, without opening the imaging space, is indeed very convenient and safe, but to put it bluntly, it has not improved my strength at all, and the special estimate that should not be beaten is still not beatable, and the effect is not particularly large.

And finally the third, an exclusive original model that doesn't consume energy, and you can add all kinds of settings to it as you like, well. Whether it is for the rapid improvement of strength, or for the future growth, this is the best choice!

Extinguishing the cigarette butt hard, I patted my ass and stood up, "It's decided!

Summoning the control panel, I stretched out a finger and dragged the third red plug-in into the empty slot, a dazzling red light flashed, and the familiar electronic sound suddenly sounded in my head,

"The plug-in 'Retainer' has been installed successfully!The system has been updated~"

~~~~~~~

Once again, I was taken aback and couldn't help but shout, "Surreal engine???How did you it in my head?"

The surreal engine seemed a little surprised by my attitude, and said in a somewhat strange tone in my head, "Because I have installed a subsystem in your brain! Now we can contact each other at any time, as if two people were on a video! Of course, you can also choose to refuse to answer when you feel inconvenient!"

"Then I'll hang up, goodbye!"

The surreal engine smiled and said indifferently,

"I'm going to explain to you the specific matters of the 'retainers' this time, are you sure you want to hang?"

"Oh no! I was wrong!" As soon as I heard this, I quickly pretended to be my grandson, this kind of information should not be in vain, if I have to figure out everything by myself, then I must not be tired to death?

"Hmph, count you kid acquaintance. The surreal engine snorted twice, stopped talking nonsense, and directly explained to me a lot of precautions about "retainers".

After listening to it, I realized that the functions of the retainers are indeed very powerful, but at the same time, they also have many limitations.

First of all, summoning the Retainer model does not consume energy, and the retainer does not increase its energy consumption coefficient by using skills, which is one of the most special and powerful features of the Retainer itself.

The models I've seen before, a blind monk Li Qing and a Warcraft paladin, their appearances are very short-lived, and they basically come out and put a skill and disappear directly. The purpose of this is to save as much energy as possible. The number of energy points stored in the bracelet is the same as the number of seconds contained in a day, that is, 86400 seconds, and the recovery speed is also one point per second.

When the projection space is enabled, the energy consumption rate is set to a little per second by default, and once a model is summoned, the energy consumption coefficient will be automatically added according to the strength set by the model.

For example, just summoning an ordinary medieval soldier will have an energy consumption coefficient of about 1.2, which means that it consumes 1.2 energy per second. But if you set up a mage you summon and ask him to unleash a fireball, the energy cost may increase to around 100, which means 100 energy per second!

For retainers, the energy consumption coefficient is always 1, and no matter what kind of settings he has and what kind of skills he releases, his energy consumption will not increase.

However, its energy consumption coefficient is not zero, because the energy consumption of the base is mainly used to supply the imaging space, not the model itself.

In addition, the skill setting of the retainers cannot go beyond a certain scope. To put it simply, the retainer's skill itself has a hidden energy consumption factor, but it does not really affect the energy consumption.

This hidden coefficient is used to determine whether the retainer's skill setting is reasonable - if the skill does not last for a second when released by a normal model, i.e. the energy consumption coefficient exceeds 86400, then the skill is judged to be unreasonable and cannot be released.

Another function of this hidden factor is to add a cooldown to the ability - yes, the ability CD. There are five levels of cooldowns: no CD, six seconds, twelve seconds, thirty seconds, one minute, and ten minutes, corresponding to energy consumption factors of 1350, 2700, 5400, 10800, 21600, and 43200, respectively.

Even so, the retainers were very powerful. Imagine a skill that others can only use once a day, such as the Holy Healing Technique, on my side only needs to rest for ten minutes before releasing it again!

Of course, there is a price to be paid for becoming stronger - the model that is set as a retainer must be my original model, and any model that can be found online, or that is more than 20% similar to the existing model, will be judged by the system to be non-original.

My mom, 20 percent, feels like if you were a human character, the exposed flesh would be about 30 percent similar, which is a bit too harsh.

Also, after having a retainer, I won't be able to use other character models, which is also a very unpleasant premise.

Goodbye Lux, goodbye D.Va, goodbye my 2B little sister!
