Chapter 35: Remorse and Prospect
Choosing the wrong way, this is not his random speculation, the reason is obvious:
His previous transcendent traits and the new abilities he later obtained most likely had nothing to do with the "Assassin" path, and even did not match the 22 sequence paths he remembered, but he did not lose control after drinking the "Assassin" potion.
This suggests that they may be two systems that do not affect each other.
If this speculation was true, then in fact he didn't have to go after the "Assassin" potion before, he could have chosen either way.
That said, he could have had many better options.
For example, "hunter", "monster", "generalist", "voyeur", "prisoner", these ways are also possible to reach the top and become a god, and if you don't consider becoming a god, then there are more good choices.
But he chose "Assassin"!
Isn't this a sinkhole?
At the thought of the huge mistake he might have made, Varina was left with only one feeling -
Regret, in short, regret, very regret.
He couldn't help but think back to why he was so sure that his ability belonged to the "assassin" path, and he also thought of his parents who died early?
Then he discovered the reason - he made a judgment based on the ability of 22 sequential pathways.
There are only 22 sequence paths in the original book, and judging by the extraordinary knowledge related to the sequence in his memory, he will obviously only come to the conclusion that he is half an "assassin".
But life always surprises, and the unexpected comes so suddenly.
Now it seems that these abilities are most likely related to the memory he awakened in his dream.
Thinking of this, Varina "chuckled" in his heart - could it be that he was a poor person whose fate was manipulated like Klein?
No, you can't think so!
Varina shook her head violently, shaking the thought that had just arisen out of her mind.
If he thinks about it this way, what is the point of the choice he made?
He prefers to think of it this way:
Even if there really is some kind of arrangement, even if he does make the choices predicted by some behind-the-scenes people who don't know whether they exist or not, it is his own choice.
It is the embodiment of his personal will!
As his thoughts drifted to the end, Varina gathered his thoughts and went back to where he had been—he might have chosen the wrong path.
How can this problem be solved?
There are two ways, he has known for a long time.
One is unacceptable, and the other is not acceptable.
He could not accept to stay in the weak Sequence 8 and wait for the end to come, and listen to God's commands; is also very reluctant to accept continued promotion and become a woman.
Especially after knowing that it was possible to choose the "Hunter" that was considered the best way for him, he regretted drinking the bottle of "Assassin" potion that he had been looking forward to not long ago.
Although Varina was very resistant to continue thinking about the problem, the potion had been drunk and he couldn't spit it out, and the problem had to be solved anyway.
He already knew the solution.
Continue to level up, then move on to the "Hunter" path in Sequence 4.
As for the difficulty of promotion, he believed that there should be no major problems, after all, he had far more information than ordinary people, and he could even pick up Klein's wool in the future.
Then the last question remains - how should he play the "Pleasure" witch?
"Witch" and "Witch of Pain" are relatively fine, but they have temporarily become female bodies, and they should be able to hold on to the past if they restrain themselves, but the "Witch of Pleasure" is more pitiful.
If this problem is not solved, Varina will really not dare to be promoted.
After all, the former can barely be seen as a women's clothing with no dead ends at 360 degrees from the inside out, but the latter's role is difficult for a man to accept no matter what.
Varina's thoughts began to drift away again.
Wait, play!
He suddenly found a key breakthrough - I just can't play it?
You can also be promoted with stupid methods, and playing is a shortcut, and it's not the only way!
Varina's spirits suddenly lifted, and he felt like he could do it again, as if he had infiltrated the dock union that night, and he had found a way to work.
Of course, this path will certainly not be smooth sailing, and there will always be problems and troubles of one kind or another, but Varina feels that they will certainly not be too difficult to solve.
Then, Varina began to think about the plan at hand.
What he needs most now is a martial arts teacher who can help him adjust to his strengthened body and practice using it to his advantage.
I don't know if it's okay to take a break?
Well, you can wait for the next time at Mr. A's party, there has been no news from the party in the last three or four days, and it should be soon.
In addition, it is good to continue to practice shooting and learn the language and writing, and while the money is still enough, you should seize the opportunity to fully improve your ability.
……
The next afternoon, the Shure Shooting Club.
After greeting the lady in charge of the reception at the front desk, Varina asked for a cup of Xibe black tea, and read today's Daily Observer first, as is customary.
When he found the Tips for Life column, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it involved the occult. That is, there will be a party tomorrow night at eight o'clock.
This can be considered a small surprise.
Varina finished her tea with a happy mood before pacing to the club's underground shooting range, ready to start the day's practice.
Through the memory of Klein's experience, Varina knew that in the otherworld, there were few or no situations and opportunities to aim at a long shot, and most of the time, it was necessary to draw a gun and shoot at a close target in an emergency situation.
For this reason, he naturally had to adjust the direction of his practice accordingly to make his improved ability more practical.
Therefore, his next practice direction is not to pull away the target, nor to pursue precision, but to practice quick reactions.
He wants to shorten the preparation time before shooting, preferably by drawing the gun and shooting, and practice in this posture until the 10-meter target does not miss the target.
After instructing the attendant to adjust the target, Varina clamped the revolver under his left armpit, then pulled it out with his right hand, aimed it in the general direction, and fired the trigger.
"Bang!"
Unsurprisingly, it misses the target, and even the pistol almost jumps out of Varina's hand.
His series of unusual actions startled the waiters not far away, and he frowned and quietly walked away a few steps. If the guest continues to come around, he will have to go to the supervisor to file a complaint.
After firing a shot, Varina repeatedly recalled the process and learned the lessons of the previous shot.
The biggest lesson is to hold the gun steady.
A few minutes later, Varina again tucked the pistol under his left armpit.
When the waiter saw this, he took a few steps back, planning to stop the guest's indiscriminate attempts after this shot, and then go to the supervisor.
"Bang!"
This time, although he still missed the target, Varina's performance has improved greatly, the gun is firmly in his hand, and the accuracy has been greatly improved compared to the last time.
Varina is well aware that his performance is largely due to his greatly improved fitness.
