Chapter 62: Puzzle Clearing

"The point of stealth isn't how well you hide it, not how skilled you are, but how good you are: you can fool the person who gets in the way of your goal, and that's fine." Argent said. "I know you're pretty good at stealth, and you should be proud of it, but I want you to forget how subtle your skills are, and just remember what stealth means. If you can't achieve your goal, no matter how subtle your stealth is, it's all in vain. ”

Yi Hui thought carefully about Argent's words, and thought to himself, although the "invisible wings" and "deception magic" extracted by the LOL system are such mysterious stealth skills, but this skill has been recognized, and it will be meaningless. I don't know too much about the basic qualities of thieves, and I can't go far just by relying on skills.

Seeing that Yi Hui had realized, Agent nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you are already thinking about this problem, it doesn't matter if you can't figure out some questions for a while, let's slowly understand it yourself in the future." So, let's move on? ”

"Okay." Yi Hui followed Argent to the second examination room, that is, the evasion skill examination room, and returned to this hemispherical hall, Yi Hui looked at the dense launch ports on the wall and felt stunned.

"There are three things that you lack in this subject: physical strength, physical strength, and senses." Argent said to Yi Hui, "Without good physical support, your whole body is stiff and unsustainable in the second half of the exam. You have a single body and a body that is not soft enough, which makes you have relatively few dodge methods. You are also not very sensitive to all directions, I have found in my observation of you that the ball can only react if it is within 5 meters of you, do you only rely on your vision to judge the way the ball is coming? ”

Yi Hui thought that he really lacked a little bit of physical stamina, and when he dodged, he often relied on his feet to run to dodge, as Argent said, he did see the ball to dodge.

"Watch me do it again." As usual, Argent was going to give Yi Hui a dodge demonstration.

Yi Hui retreated to the outside of the hall, and there was a staff room next to it, from where he could see every move in the examination room. Through the narrow observation opening, Yi Hui watched as Argent stood motionless in the center of the examination room, and his posture was quite casual. "Sure enough, it's a master's style." Yi Hui thought to himself.

As the bell rang, the dodge launch port on the wall of the exam room began to shoot small balls into the field, and Argent only slightly sideways dodged the first ball.

"Remember, if you are able to dodge calmly, don't dodge too much, because overdodging will waste your stamina and may also cause your body to fall into a stun." In the examination room, Argent did dodge movements over and over again, and shouted loudly to Yi Hui outside the examination room.

The small balls gradually increased, and the rate of fire gradually increased, and Argent's dodging movements in the field remained in a small range, and he did not even move more than 1 meter of footsteps. Yi Hui found it strange that whenever there was a ball shooting upwards from the shooting hole under Argent's feet, he always knew in advance that he would move half a step to dodge the attack from below.

Bend over, step back, lower waist, turn sideways. Argent's movements are small and efficient, and although the balls are getting more and more, they still can't stick to Argent's body. As the number of small balls gradually increased, Argent's speed became faster and faster, and Yi Hui seemed to look at Argent from the sidelines, as if he saw Keanu Reeves dodging bullets in "Hacker Empire". Later, apart from maintaining only a small displacement of his feet, Argent's upper body swayed like an upside-down pendulum like an upside-down pendulum as the balls increased.

Yi Hui couldn't see Argent's figure clearly, but one thing was for sure, no small ball could touch Argent's body. If Yi Hui were to find someone from the Earth world he knew to compare with Agent at this time, he would definitely choose Ali, the legendary boxing champion with butterfly steps, who could dodge almost all of his attacks in a small swing.

Looking at Argent's magical dodge, Yi Hui was fascinated, and unconsciously all the shooting ports in the examination room stopped designing, and countless black phantoms re-condensed and concentrated on Argent's body to become Argent himself. Argent stopped dodging, and in Yi Hui's opinion, the whole world was frozen.

Coming back to the corridor, Argent and Yi Hui said as they walked: "Look, I can dodge the ball in half a step, I will never take half a step more, wouldn't it be nice to solve the problem with the minimum consumption?" These are just some of my thoughts and thoughts on dodging. Of course, this varies from person to person depending on how the thieves understand dodge. There are also other ways to dodge in a wide range, such as the famous dodge master in our thief circle, known as the Starr of the Extreme Meteor, his dodge range is quite large, and he likes to use the movement speed beyond the opponent's visual range to achieve a wide range of movement when fighting, running around the opponent non-stop, and waiting until the opponent is dizzy before performing a fatal blow. I think you seem to be trying to follow his path in the exam, but you don't have enough stamina, and of course in the end you decide what path to take in dodging or your own consideration, I'm just explaining to you these two routes. ”

With that, they walked to the location of the third exam, and the speed and accuracy of the exam room were attacked. Akintra and Yi Hui got on the mobile platform together, and Argent stood in front and Yi Hui stood behind. After the two of them stood still, Argent motioned for the crew to start moving the platform.

"Yi Hui, look, the theme of this exam is attack speed and accuracy, which is the attack method that a thief should have." Argent said with his back to Yi Hui.

The platform moved slowly, and there was an endless stream of targets flying from all directions, Argent stuck his left hand in his trouser pocket, and his right hand waved a dagger with a glittering black streamer and kept hitting, and the crisp sound of hitting the target was endless.

The black streamer dagger dragged a long phantom in Argent's hand, and the dagger's offensive trajectory was pulled into a black line under Argent's quick moves and retractions. The target hit by this black dagger did not fly everywhere like Yi Hui did during the exam, but the feeling of only a slight pause.

Yi Hui saw it clearly behind Argent, and he felt every blow from Argent with his heart. It's an idea again! Yi Hui thought to himself that Argent's offensive technique reminded him of the killer Zhongyuan a little red in the Gu Long novels he had read - it only took a little red to kill.

At the end of the line, Argent and Yi Hui got off the platform and waited for the staff to collect the targets in the examination room. After a while, the staff pushed a small cart full of targets in front of the two, and the targets on the cart were about more than 100 yuan. Yi Hui picked up a target and examined it carefully, and found that except for the dagger marks at the bull's-eye, which were a little and a half inch deep, there was no damage to the rest of the target.

Yi Hui looked at the other dozens of targets slightly, the traces of the daggers were very hit, all around the position of the ninth ring and the tenth ring, and some of the targets even appeared in two dagger traces at the bullseye not far away, this trace was obviously from the same dagger, it can be seen that Agent made up an extra knife in addition to the attack. What kind of speed is that?

Looking at the target results, Argent's expression was very satisfied, he pointed to the trace in the center of the target and said to Yi Hui: "Look, in this way, isn't there both attack speed and accuracy?" ”

"But there's one thing. Yi Hui, I hope you don't misunderstand. Attack speed is not simply about how many times you can attack, on the contrary, an effective attack is enough. The purpose of this exercise is to increase your attack speed, but the ultimate goal is to increase your single attack speed, because the speed of a single attack cannot be counted, and the number of attacks in a certain period of time is a good statistic. So, attacking as many times as possible in a certain amount of time increases your attack speed per hit. Do you understand me when I say that? Argent said to Yi Hui.

Yi Hui nodded and said, "I know, it's completely understandable, increasing the speed of an attack many times is also to increase the speed of a single attack." ”

Argent also paused here, thought for a moment and said to Yi Hui: "Similarly, in the area of attack and accuracy, different thieves also have different opinions, and some thieves think that the attack should be like a chameleon catching an insect, and it is enough to hit the enemy's flaws. There are also thieves who think that they need to constantly expand their advantage and create opportunities to attack under the storm-like attack. My philosophy is to belong to the former, but regardless of the attack concept, increasing attack speed is a prerequisite for all of this. You also have to think about this deeply. ”

Finally, they came to the unlocking examination room, and looking at the lock on the door, Argent spread his hands and said, "Well, I don't want to do too much to you, and I don't have time to scrutinize these locks." Regarding lockpicking, more research and more training are enough. One key can't open all locks, and one method doesn't always work everywhere. Maybe open the same lock, you and I may use different methods, for the lock, practice yourself. When you leave, go to the supplies department and report my name, and keep a few hundred locks for all kinds of locks above level 3 to play with, and tell them to say, 'Give me the practice locks that Argent used.' I've already used it anyway, and I'm still putting these things away. ”

"However, I would like to add that the skill of lockpicking is an important mark that distinguishes a thief from an assassin." Argent said.
