Chapter 19: Analysis 1: A Systematic Study of Combat

Richard thought of a few words.

The complexity of the system can be analyzed from two aspects, one is the type and number of internal elements, and the other is the interconnection between elements.

The former one is actually very easy to understand, the more kinds and quantities of things it contains, the more complex it naturally becomes.

As for the latter, it is easy to overlook.

It was this that shocked Richard.

From Heloise's words, it was clear to him that there was a connection between forces.

You see, the power of the apostles consists of three components.

The abilities they possess during their lifetimes, the magic armor made of the divine power of the bald bird, plus the physical power and magic of the dragon that the dragon egg gives them.

Due to a shortage of funds, lack of manpower, and a rush of time, he adopted the simple scheme of replacing dragon eggs with fire salamander eggs. And because of this kind of cutting corners, the four of them can be said to have greatly deducted points in terms of dragon power.

The healing power of a fire salamander is nothing compared to the power and magic of a giant dragon, like a sesame seed next to a cart of watermelons.

But Heloise says she'd rather have the former.

There are two explanations for this.

First, this girl has a confused head, and she doesn't even have the arithmetic ability in elementary school.

As for the second explanation, it is that it is.

But in this way, there seems to be a paradox.

Anyone knows that the fire salamander's ability is not as good as that of the dragon, but after it joined the apostle's power system, it was more effective than the dragon's overall strength improvement.

And the value of dragon power is beyond its reach.

The only explanation for this paradox is the fact that capacities are interconnected.

It is true that the fire salamander's power is not comparable to the dragon's power, but when it is added to Heroise's personal force system, it significantly improves the abilities of other parts. Considering the improvement of the whole, it has suddenly doubled in value.

After thinking about this, it's actually quite easy to understand.

The whole is not equal to the sum of its parts.

If you want to repair a tire on the car, you must first consider the shape and size of the tire and whether it matches the car. You can't always take the tires of a sports car and install them on a big truck. Even though the former is much more expensive than the latter, the car with tires is a whole, and it must be constrained by things such as wheels, spacing, and so on.

And it was precisely by confirming it that Richard's face was so unsightly.

Because if there really is a wide interconnection between abilities and abilities, it will mean that the complexity of the entire combat system will skyrocket.

What will this lead to?

Have you ever tried to study hard in college for four years, mastering the skills of the corresponding major, and when you look for a job, you find that the industry is sluggish, so you have to apply for another job with a black eye?

This is the pot where the social system is too complex.

Due to the complexity of the surrounding environment, people often make mistakes in decision-making, and all kinds of futile efforts occur. It's obviously very hard, but it's useless, it's a normal state of life.

If the battle system of this cheating world is so complicated, I'm afraid the first thing is not how to work hard at all, but to find the right direction of struggle.

I tried to die, but there was no use. Who wants this kind of thing to be found in themselves.

Richard felt his head grow.

He suddenly remembered a lot of things about it.

Richard knew all kinds of magic and abilities in Roland's world, and it was called a thousand strange.

The variety is already so abundant, and the complexity of interconnectedness must be extraordinary.

As proof, in the many knight novels he read, the plot of defeating the strong with the weak is the norm at all, and there are a lot of them. In contrast, "level crushing" and "high-level abuse and low-level" sound like a dream.

But the next moment, Richard's whole person suddenly fell into an irrepressible ecstasy.

Seeing Richard crying and laughing for a while, Princess Audrey felt that something was wrong with him.

"Sure enough, it's a monkey......"

Diana glanced at Richard, but smiled with interest.

She thought of Richard's previous question.

Her instincts told her that Richard must have made another strange discovery.

As for Heloise as a party, her vision is even deeper. But instead of looking at Richard, he looked at the pile of golem wreckage on the side.

In four days, such a thing was made, which really makes people have to pay attention.

But regardless of what all of them thought, Richard only knew that he might be picking up the treasure again.

This change from sorrow to joy came from his flash of inspiration just now.

As Richard was annoyed by the complexity, it occurred to him that he was not the only one bothered by it.

It's that all people have to face this problem!

Under this premise, he Richard has one thing that is unique.

That's his knowledge.

Not only the knowledge of various disciplines readily available, but also the scientific method of inquiry. In some respects, his research ability is unique.

This means that he is closer to the truth than others.

Now that the runaway is imminent, it seems a little unrealistic to quickly increase the force or something. In contrast, if he can make a huge breakthrough in this aspect, it is equivalent to his strength from the side.

Originally, too, the weak defeated the strong, invincible at the same level, which was originally the patent of the protagonist. It's just that the actual plug-in of other people's exams, he has to rely on his own mind.

Richard thought for a moment.

Studying the combat system, it doesn't seem to be a good fit for the black box approach. The retrospective method and the reduction method should be more practical. So first understand the composition of its elements, and then perform a functional analysis of them......

After half a ring.

Richard clenched his fists.

In this case, let's set a small goal for the time being, and first become the first person to fight wisely under this starry sky. Richard thought silently.

He had a smile on his face.

After waking up, Richard opened his mouth to the people around him.

"Let's get out of here first......"

"You've got to figure out a way to get out first. ”

Diana, who was in an uninhabited alley, dressed in a strong suit, looked at Richard helplessly, "If you continue to stay in this city, I'm afraid it will be a problem to even teach you martial arts." ”

She wore a large V-neck shirt made of white cotton, a black tweed jacket on the outside, and a pair of leather pants on the bottom, and she was dressed very chicly.

Princess Audrey, who had been watching from the sidelines, turned her head with disdain, and said to Richard, "Although I have made an agreement with you, I estimate that it will not be long before it will be invalidated. ”

She was dressed like Diana, except with an extra longbow on her back and an extra quiver on her waist.

Princess Audrey turned her head and glanced ahead of the alleyway. She knew that just two corners were a crowded street.

"Who told you to stay in such a city, there are so many people, but it believes in the Holy Light. According to Fras, there are three angels here, and you really may not have a few days to live. Forget it, but it will affect us. ”

Richard looked at the back of Her Royal Highness the princess with disgust.

"Can't you say something nice?"

He raised his voice, "Just now, I donated all my savings to buy clothes for you. Is your attitude worthy of my efforts? What about mutual respect......

"Don't make any noise. ”

Diana interrupted Richard, and after half a day of getting along, she knew that the two of them would not stop fighting.

"Brother Richard, you really need to think of a way. ”

"Now the situation is whether we can walk openly with you is a question. ”

"Heloise knows how to be invisible, but she can't hide from angels. ”

"Beware of your identity being exposed......"
