Chapter Ninety-Four: Back Up the Mountain
The weather is cold, and the snow covers the mountains.
The north wind is howling, and the white feathers are flying.
Aske and Medea walked in the snow one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"I'm so cold." Medea hugged Asker's arm, "Warm me up." ”
"You make a fire?" Asker said.
Medea: ..................
She suddenly began to hate herself for having the ability to fire.
As a flame danced in her hand, the pleasant warmth spread in all directions, forcing the cold out of a circle.
"Wait a minute." Asker suddenly stopped, looking at the snow prints beneath his feet.
"It's the footprints of a snow monster."
"What then?" Medea suddenly tensed.
Despite Asker's side, he was still badly wounded, and he had lost his sword.
"Don't do it." Aske said, "Kill if you encounter it." ”
"How to kill?" Medea asked.
Then Asker turned his gaze to her.
"Me?" Medea was incredulous, "But...... I'm a Psychic Warlock! You're going to let me deal with the snow monster head-on? ”
"It's okay, I have confidence in you." Asker said.
"I don't even have confidence in myself!" Medea was a little crazy.
"Don't say that, I brought you out anyway." Aske said, "When you encounter a snow monster, you will obey my command." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, two snow monsters came out of the mountain road ahead.
"What a coincidence." Asker said.
"What to do!" Medea almost screamed.
"Fire right, control left." Asker said.
Medea reached out and summoned a ball of flame, throwing it at the snow monster on her right, while her eyes met the snow monster on the left.
"Controlled!" She shouted.
"Let it charge to the left with all its might, and crash into another snow monster!" Asker said.
The flames flew straight forward, and the snow monster that was aimed at the target hurriedly retreated, and at this time, the other snow monster that was under control, which was just one position behind it, suddenly rushed sideways to the left when it stepped back to the side.
The other party was completely caught off guard, and was instantly knocked out of the mountain road, and it couldn't stop the car, and it rolled down the cliff with it.
"It's as simple as that?" Seeing that the two enemies were cleanly dealt with, Medea expressed disbelief.
"What do you think?" Aske said earnestly, "You have to learn to use the environment." ”
"So, what if it's three snow monsters?" Medea asked, "Hold one, knock one away, and what about the other one?" ”
"Think for yourself." "The so-called use of the environment is essentially just creating displacement and forcing the other side out of the mountain road," Aske said. ”
"Snow monsters are afraid of fire, so your flame projection can compress the opponent's movement. Imagine that your release path is a straight line, in which direction will the opponent dodge in order to avoid this straight line? ”
"With this in mind, you can calculate how to place a straight line so that the opponent can dodge the outside of the trail."
Then there's the selection of control objects. You can either choose the snow monster standing on the inside side and manipulating it to knock your companion down the mountain, or you can choose the snow monster standing on the outside to grab your companion and drag them down the cliff as you jump off the cliff. ”
So what's the difference in choice? Considering that the mountain trail is extremely narrow, either way is feasible. So what are the downsides? The weight of the snow monster itself, of course. ”
"The heavier the snow monster, the stronger the muscles and the more powerful they are, and the more difficult it is to be pushed and pulled by their companions. So shouldn't you prioritize controlling the heaviest snow monster and then manipulating it to push and pull the lighter snow monster, so that the displacement has a higher success rate? ”
"So how do you judge the weight of a snow monster? Considering that the density of snow monsters is about the same, it depends on their size, of course. ”
"I said?" Medea was impressed, "How did you come up with so many ways to deal with the snow monster the moment you saw it?" ”
"That's the accumulation of experience." "When you see a mountain road, you have to think about how to knock the enemy down by displacement; When you see a swamp, you have to think about how to lure the other person into the mud and slow down by moving around. ”
"Even different professions have different concerns about the environment. The Gunslinger focuses on the vantage points and bunker distribution, while the Melee Samurai focuses on the enemy's position and their own position, as well as each other's attack ranges. ”
"Mages are relatively more stealthy, they don't need to face the enemy like a melee samurai at all times, nor do they focus on output like a gunner, and they reveal their position when they shoot, so they have more opportunities to observe and use the terrain."
"Uh-huh." Medea gave a thoughtful expression.
"Medea, I'm optimistic about your future, you'll become a great psychic warlock." Asker seemed to remember something, and said with emotion.
"Really?" Medea nodded, and suddenly asked, "Who is Koyanagi?" ”
Aske was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was reading her memories again, and explained:
"One of my former juniors came out of the e-sports academy, and was later poached by the Zidian team."
"She's ...... too," Medea paused, "I mean, she's also a psychic mancer?" ”
"Well, like you, it's also the Purgatory Succubus route." Aske replied. Since Medea can read minds, there's no need to hide her past as a secret – she can't hide it anyway.
"Heh, 'I'm very optimistic about your future', you also told her that, right?" Medea was a little upset.
How many people have you said these things to!
"Yes, she's a very talented player." "But you're not like her. ”
"Oh, how is it different?" Medea came interested.
"She's the kind of hard-working player who relies on hard work." Asker said, "The most standard moves, the most standard operations, all the tactical moves she will use thousands of times to reinforce, to ensure that she is exactly the same as the textbook." ”
"While the textbook tactical moves are the most effective, it also means that her actions are easily seen by the best players. If everything is according to the textbook, then when to read the mind, when to implant the thought, and even when to manipulate the enemy's mind are like actions that have long been fixed in the timeline, and they are visible to the enemy. ”
"Sounds like you're a little disappointed in her?" Medea asked tentatively.
"Not really." Aske said frankly, "I was going to get her started and then slowly teach her the tricks of tactical change. It's a pity that she jumped ship shortly after she started. ”
"Is it because of an emotional dispute?" Medea asked.
"Of course not!" Aske couldn't help but laugh, "She is from the north, and it just so happened that the Purple Electric Clan was established in the imperial capital, and her parents wanted her to return to her hometown to develop ......"
"Oh." Medea suddenly became a little complacent.
Because she could abandon her home country for the sake of Asker, but this Koyanagi couldn't do it, which immediately gave Medea a psychological advantage.
"You just said I wasn't like her, did you?" Medea grinned, "Is it because I'm amazingly attractive and it's easier to use the advantages of a psychic manipulator?" ”
"Of course not for that reason." Aske was a little speechless, "I mean, you're the kind of talented player. ”
"She is more honest and introverted, so step-by-step learning is more suitable for her. And you're different, you have a bad stomach, so it's more suitable for some sassy operations. Aske said, "I think the style of trickery suits you better." ”
"Well, I forgot to explain, Trickery is a player on our team, his bloodline is 'Heart-Bound Spirit', and the main sequence is 'Spirit' and 'Mind'."
Medea tried to read his thoughts, and immediately the image of a short, lewd, trash-talking, ghost appeared in front of her eyes.
"This trick ......," she didn't know what to say.
"Pretty cheap, right?" Asker said, "But his trash talk skills are very strong, and it is said that in his early years, he was a professional water army, specializing in collecting money to spray and scold people, and he could use a few words to make the opposite person angry." ”
"Combined with his 'psychic ability', he can forcibly transmit all kinds of trash talk to the opponent's mind when fighting."
Medea imagined it a little, and suddenly felt cold all over her body, and goosebumps all over her body.
