Chapter 119: Derivative Skills
The most important thing for a lone wanderer is not strength, but survivability, and the ability to preserve their universal adaptability to the greatest extent in any environment.
The current Luo Jie has two sniper hot and cold weapons, the [Quetzalcoatl God's Serial Crossbow] and the [Minister's Tool: Six Paths of Reincarnation] at a distance.
It is slightly weaker in the middle distance, but it also has the [Scarlet Bride M92F Modification] pistol that is of F blue quality and has a power that is chasing F purple.
The main weapon at close range is the full-level enhanced E-gold weapon [Ming Knife Puffer Poison] with explosive attacks.
And it's the last distance of the close-up, but it's completely empty.
Indeed, under normal circumstances, Mirage players are very difficult to attack in close proximity.
After all, whether it's a monster or a player, it's not easy to break through this layer of attack range.
However, there are always some people in this world who like to go off the beaten path.
Monsters like aliens and lickers that are good at sneak attacks are not to mention for the time being, among the fantasy players alone, there are quite a few professionals who take the assassin route, all kinds of stealth backstabbing chrysanthemum remnants, once accidentally close to the other party, it is almost a second kneeling end.
This kind of person is powerless to deal with bloody and thick-skinned bosses, but he is extremely good at dealing with players who are also humans, and several assassin guilds in his previous life that made a living by killing people and looting treasures were even more notorious for this.
For physique-oriented players, close skills are easy to obtain, and various boxing techniques can be used to grab short fights.
But for a spiritual player like Luo Jie, it is not so easy to obtain the right personal skills.
The most famous spiritual-oriented personal skills in the previous life, known as the "Five Skills of Resistance", are [Resist the Fire Ring], [Resist the Wind Scroll], [Resist the Thunder Net], [Resist Ice], and [Resist the Rock Wall], although the difficulty of obtaining is not high, but all of them are D-level skills that will have a chance to be produced by the illusion of level 2 or above.
For Luo Jie, who didn't plan to ascend to the second order for the time being, it was quite a bit of a sense that he couldn't quench his thirst far away.
So Luo Jie decided to derive skills on his own.
The so-called "derivative skill", as the name suggests, is to transform an existing skill into a new skill recognized by the system.
In the previous life, when the fantasy realm first appeared, all players only regarded it as a large-scale real-life VR game, carefully abiding by all the rules of the fantasy realm, and their cognition of skills and equipment also stayed at the most basic surface attribute level.
Later, as time passed, the understanding of the fantasy realm gradually deepened, and some players began to realize that in fact, the skills and equipment produced in the fantasy realm were not immutable.
In particular, the variable of skill is the largest.
For example, just like the well-known [Shaving] in the Navy Six Styles in "One Piece", the skill description is "Instantly step on the ground more than ten times and use the explosive speed generated by the reaction force to move." ”
It seems that [Shaving] is just a high-speed moving skill, but from another perspective, what if this skill uses fists instead of feet?
So under the unremitting experiment of a player's brain, the derivative skill of [Shaving Inch Punch] was born.
Of course, it may seem easy to say, but in fact the development of derivative skills is quite difficult.
In addition to finding the best derivative direction for the right skill, it also requires a lot of time and energy to try it over and over again.
Some powerful derivative skills can even be life-threatening when developed.
Because of the extremely difficult development of derivative skills, in previous lives, even if they knew about the existence of derivative skills, there were not many people who actually tried to develop them.
After all, for players who pursue efficiency, instead of wasting so much time and energy to develop an improved version of the original skill, it is better to use this time to create an additional illusion, do tasks to earn points, and directly purchase a high-level skill.
In fact, Luo Jie is also a fan of this concept of efficiency.
And the reason why he would uncharacteristically choose an extremely troublesome derivative skill is entirely because he happens to have a complete derivative method of skill in his head.
And the derivation just happens to be the spiritual personal skill he needs most now.
This skill is the [Arcane Missile] that countless players regard as a chicken rib.
Luo Jie's heart moved, and a fist-sized translucent air mass was generated in the palm of his hand, and then he broke out of his hand and smashed on the water surface, causing a huge splash.
[You killed [Mutant River Fish] X3 and gained 9 points.] 】
Luo Jie: "......"
I'm testing my skills, I'm not here to fry fish...... Anyway, the three big-headed fish got together for a meeting?
However, it is obvious that since his mental attribute reached 600 points, this chicken-like [Arcane Missile] has also begun to have a certain lethality, and it already has the basic conditions for deriving personal skills.
In a previous life, someone concluded that no matter how skills are derived, they are essentially two general evolutions - either to make up for shortcomings or to strengthen strengths.
From this point of view, the biggest disadvantage of [Arcane Missile] is its low attack and slow flight speed, while the advantage is the rare instantaneous attack of spell skills, as well as the excellent controllability of the missile itself.
In fact, from the perspective of skill analysis, the best derivative direction of [Arcane Missile] is to make up for its shortcomings and increase attack power and flight speed.
Otherwise, no matter how fast the launch speed is, no matter how high the controllability is, it will be useless if you can't hit the target and can't break the defense.
However, Luo Jie chose another derivative direction.
After all, the failed development of other players in the previous life has already been proved by bloody facts, and the skill [Arcane Missile] has inherent shortcomings, even if you try your best to make up for its shortcomings, the attack power and flight speed that can be increased are lackluster.
Speaking of which, this derivative direction is not his first creation, but the product of an unknown player's brains in his previous life.
This person's thinking is very biased - since the flight speed of the [Arcane Missile] is destined to cheat, then simply don't let it fly, and change the direction of the force that urges the flight, so that the missile rotates in a certain direction at high speed in the palm of the hand, and uses the principle similar to a bullet to increase its penetration and destructive power to the target.
Sound familiar?
That's right, this derivative skill itself is derived from the influence of Naruto Uzumaki's signature skill [Spiral Maru] of the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki in Naruto.
The only difference is that the derived missile rotates in a single direction with the palm as the axis, rather than showing a multi-level irregular rotation like the inside of the [Spiral Pill], so it is far from being comparable to the real [Spiral Pill] skill in terms of attack power.
