Chapter 5: The Battle of the Psychics (2)
"Please don't go away from the audience in front of the TV, the commercial will be more exciting. β
The sweet voice of the hostess echoed in the piazza, and despite the late hour, the huge screen in the piazza was still crowded.
Viewers who have watched the trailer know that there is a showdown between the two giants tonight, the Gaulle club in Paris vs. the Petain club in Vichy City. Although it was just a collision between the junior teams, not a competition of ace teams, many residents of B15 still rushed to the open square with joy.
Gaulle and Petain are not only fixtures in the Super League, but rivals for over 200 years. Newspapers such as "Paris Psychic Story" and "Marseille Weekly Magazine" have the most popular reports that "Gaulle's manager threw out a sky-high signboard to seduce Petain's star Henry", "Petain said before the game that he would take all three points to avenge Gaulle's revenge"......
There is a history of confrontation full of gunpowder, and you can imagine the intensity of this confrontation. Whether it is the ace team or the new rookie of the junior team, the narrow road and rivalry have always been eye-catching selling points.
Although the hostess's voice is sweet, the act of inserting advertisements is too bad, and the square is full of complaints.
"Can the damn ad be a little longer?"
"For every extra second of advertising, CSTV boss JJ is 1cm shorter. β
"There are ads, no jj. β
......
Lin was standing behind the crowd, with his left hand on Xiaohu's shoulder and a smile on his face.
Xiaohu stuck out his tongue: "It's not easy to be the boss of CSTV, his second child has become negative...... Could it be that he practiced the ancient Chinese legend of 'shrinking the sun into the belly'?"
Lin slapped Xiaohu's head lightly.
"What kind of nonsense, this thing you learn when you go to literacy classes?"
Seeing that Brother Lin was going to continue to speak at length, Xiaohu hurriedly pointed to the screen: "Brother Lin, look, look, the advertisement is over." β
At the end of the three-minute and fifty-second advertisement, the hostess wearing a surname uniform, the angry hostess of Shuangfeng appeared on the screen again with a sweet voice and a smile on her face.
"Alright, after the break, let's watch the next game......"
A spit suddenly popped up in the square.
"Look at the good commercials, what kind of games are inserted!"
Everyone burst into laughter and expressed their opinions, praising the speaker's art of complaining to the peak.
The hostess will definitely not know what the scene is, and naturally, the screen switches to the playing field.
Soon, the dynamic busts of the two players flashed out, and under the avatars, there were some basic information about the two of them.
Players: Charles Taylor (Gaulle), Philip Carter (Petain)
"The Charles de Gaulle club has already lost one game," Xiaohu said with some concern: "If you lose this one again, the game will be over." β
After a pause, Xiaohu asked, "Brother Lin, who do you think will win?"
Lin scanned the profiles of the two players on the field with great interest.
In general, the charisma of the psychic is the most important thing, and the higher the charisma value, the more likely it is to summon powerful life spirits, and the smoother communication with life spirits will be.
The surname of Gaulle's psychic, Charles Taylor, is a clear indication of the importance of charisma. His strength, constitution, and agility are very low, only about twice as high as those of adult males, his intelligence and perception are slightly higher as the lesser important castes, at 31 and 34, respectively, and his charisma is the highest, at 49.
Lin sighed in his heart, he deserved to be a professional psychic, even though he was only a junior team, his surname was still amazing. When Lin saw the surname of Philip Carter, the psychic contestant in Petain on the right, the tenacious teenager suddenly cried out in surprise.
Not only Lin, but the audience in the square was also discussing.
"Why did Petain send such a strange player on the field!"
"That is, the charm is only 17 points, what kind of life spirit can be engraved? My son's charm value is higher than his!"
"As a psychic, you actually have 43 agility!
"I seriously suspect that CSTV's statistics are wrong, that Philip's agility is obviously wrong, and that is obviously a number that should be in the charisma caste!"
Lin stared blankly at the big screen, a bold idea swirling in his mind.
"If that's the case...... The Petain club was too bold! There was no new theory to prove at all, and it was brought out for official competitions. How confident is Professor Abner PΓ©tain?"
Yes, Lin is now fully confirmed that this psychic, Philip Carter, is the practitioner of Professor PΓ©tain's new theory.
Abandon the charm of the caste, strengthen the three measurements, and the psychic becomes the output core of the war!
"If that's the case, the battle will be exciting," Lin muttered to himself, "Very good, let me see if this new system can gain a foothold in the era of the Great Summoning Stream!"
"Playing field, draw the middle ......"
"The site has been confirmed, woodland (sparse). β
"This battle ended with one side losing the ability to fight or admitting defeat. Psychics are invited!"
With the announcement of the big-breasted hostess, the screen switched to the competition scene, in a sparse woodland, the moonlight was bright, and two teenagers with fluttering sleeves and flying cloaks stood thirty meters opposite each other.
"I announce, the game begins!"
Stuck in time, the two teenagers pressed their right hands on their left arms at the same time, and they also threw the cards in their hands without any difference!
The Soul Card, appeared.
"In the name of the psychic, show up, Barrett!"
Following the summoning order of Charles Taylor, the psychic of the Gaulle Club, a stout creature two meters tall appeared three feet in front of him.
"In the name of a psychic, show up, Jelemy!"
The exact same summoning word, summoned by Philip Carter, the psychic of the Petain Club, is a slightly petite demihuman creature with a petite body, the upper body is a petite human woman, the naked twin peaks are quite tempting, but the spider body on the lower body creates a strong contrast.
Charles Taylor pointed to Philip: "Go, my minions, destroy the enemy in front of me!"
The two-meter-tall stout creature roared, pulled out a giant wooden club, pounded its fist against its chest, and charged at its enemies.
Xiaohu asked, "Brother Lin, what are they summoning, it seems that the guy summoned by Lord Charles Taylor is more ferocious." β
Lin looked solemn, and stroked his head when he heard the words: "Fierce is good, but those who are strong may not be able to achieve the final victory." Charles Taylor summoned a bear goblin, a hand-to-hand combat type with a strong physique, but clumsy movements, and a phantom-level spirit. Philip Carter's summoned creatures are powerful, it should be at the level of true spirits, and it is biased towards the type of magic attack, I don't recognize what kind of species it is. β
Xiaohu scratched his head: "How can you tell what level of spirit they are summoning?"
Lin knocked Xiaohu a little: "Let you usually read more books and study more, but you just don't listen." Phantoms belong to relatively low-level spirits, and the energy consumption for psychics is very low, about only a few dozen points, and the real spirits are a grade higher than the phantoms, and the energy required is much higher. You see, Philip Carter's psionic energy reserve was consumed by a full two hundred points at once, indicating that he was summoning a true spirit. β
After a pause, Lin continued, "It's not realistic to expect a phantom to fight against a true spirit, and Lord Charles Taylor must have a follow-up method. β
A middle-aged uncle standing in front of him turned his head and said with a smile: "This little brother is an expert, let's see, can Gaulle win?"
Lin was stunned for a moment, this uncle was obviously a supporter of Gaulle.
At this time, the battle situation on the screen changed again, and Charles Taylor's summoned bear goblin warrior "Barrett" launched a charge, a blood-colored light flashed under his feet, and the next moment, it was already swinging a big stick and smashing it towards Philip Carter.
Undeterred, Philip Carter dodged the bear goblin's ferocious slash with a light sliding step, while his life, the petite centaur mage, came to his aid, unleashing a magic missile to attack the bear goblin.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Charles Taylor once again pressed his right hand on his left arm and threw it.
"In the name of the psychic, show up, Moradin!"
Flying in the air was a brilliant green card, and as soon as the words fell, a humanoid creature with a thick beard appeared on the field.
"Green card, Lord Taylor has finally summoned the main force. Seeing that on the screen, Taylor's psionic energy reserve suddenly dropped by one hundred and eighty points, Lin said with great certainty.
"I know this, the green card represents the True Spirit level. Xiaohu replied.
The uncle in front of him urged: "Hurry up, little brother, do you think Gaulle can win?"
Lin smiled bitterly: "Judging from the scene, Lord Charles Taylor has seized the opportunity to summon the second life spirit, the True Spirit Flame Dwarf Elite, the Flame Dwarf has a powerful destructive power, and the output is no problem." But Master Philip Carter must still have hole cards, I really can't tell. β
"Oh......" Uncle looked back with some disappointment and continued to watch the game nervously.
Xiaohu whispered, "Brother Lin, why did Lord Charles Taylor name his flame dwarf 'Moradin'? β
Lin smiled and said, "The name represents the psychic's expectation of the life spirit, Moradin is the legendary king of the dwarves, and Lord Charles Taylor calls it so, which also contains this expectation." β
When the Flame Dwarf elite Moradin joined the battle, the scene became significantly unfavorable for Philip Carter. The spirit he summoned was a fragile half-mage, and he couldn't stop the enemy from attacking him.
Fortunately, Philip Carter's agility of 43 points is not a decoration, he nimbly dodges the enemy's attacks, and with the help of sparse trees, he has been defending dangerously, and he has fallen absolutely inferior in the field.
After summoning the second spirit, Moradin, Charles Taylor was engrossed in directing the spirits into battle. As Philip Carter retreated, the battlefield moved backwards, and Charles Taylor had to move forward, as the psychic would have a great delay in command when he was too far away from the spirit.
Just as Charles Taylor turned a tree, Philip Carter, who was twenty meters away from him, suddenly used his strength, shook off the entanglement of the bear goblin "Barrett" and the flame dwarf "Moradin", and rushed towards Charles Taylor.
The bear goblin warrior roared in pursuit, only to be stumbled by a magic missile from the half-spider mage.
Charles Taylor calmly looked at the enemy rushing at high speed, and gave an order: "Attack the Half-Spider!" He believed that under the giant rod of the bear goblin and the scorching punch of the flame dwarf, the half-spider mage would never survive for ten seconds.
Charles Taylor sneered at the rushing psychic Philip Carter, his lips twitched, and his hands began to hold the spell.
"It's humiliating to be a psychic to rush up in hand-to-hand combat like a ruffian," Charles Taylor quickly ended his spell: "A lesson for you - cold rays!"
