Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 78 Give me a placebo

Option two is 68.7%, and option three is 31.3%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Increase the strength of summoned objects]

Description: Bigger, stronger, and bulkier.

……

"I heard students complaining that the suppression of summoned objects is too strong."

Zheng Zhuo said to the engineer.

Of course he hadn't heard such words.However, the time left for Tao Tao is very limited, Zheng Zhuo wants to seize as many opportunities as possible to strengthen her.

……

After 8 days.

Zheng Zhuo became a frequent visitor to the underground area of ​​the Magic Academy.He appears at the elevator entrance on time every day and delivers the goods to every area.

"Ah, hello."

"Hello."

He has already become somewhat familiar in the underground.Engineers greet him when they see him.

And he also confirmed the situation of the venue during this period.

[First match: Knockout match], there are a total of eight venues.

[Grassland]: The field of vision is the widest, the site is flat, and there are almost no obstacles.

【Alpine】: Strong wind, few standing points.

[Hills]: There are many hiding places and shelters.

[Desert]: Open, limited movement speed.

[Swamp]: The field of view is blocked, and the movement speed is greatly restricted.

[Ocean]: You need to have the ability to fly or swim.

[Polar Region]: It is easier to be exposed when moving.

[Abyss]: There is almost no foothold.Harsh magma conditions deal terrain damage.

At the same time, Zheng Zhuo also confirmed the site distribution system that the engineers were debugging.

The venue allocation system is simpler than he imagined: students will be issued numbers one by one.When the time is up, everyone submits the number, and the number will be placed in the venue in the order of submission.When a venue is full, the next venue will be lined up.

Students cannot see the process.But then, janitors can be seen in the background.

"(At that time, I can monitor this link and send a message to instruct Tao Tao when to submit the number, so that she can enter a more suitable venue.)"

To be honest, Zheng Zhuo was a little worried about using the school system to communicate, and he would be found out afterwards.

But that's for another day.After leaving this world.

"(Just get the trophy...)"

Zheng Zhuo made up his mind.He looked up one last time at the slow-moving field above his head, and left the ground.

……

Back on the surface, it was already late.But Zheng Zhuo was not in a hurry.Because he knew that Tao Tao must still be training.

He walked slowly towards the remotest and smallest semi-abandoned training ground in the night.

"...Ha, ha, ha... ha..."

really.

Looking inside from the entrance of the training ground, Tao Tao was the only one left on the ground.When Zheng Zhuo arrived, she supported her knees with her hands, panting heavily.

The ground is full of flowing dark attribute energy and scattered colorless magic stones.

"Is it hard to catch up?"

Zheng Zhuo hid in the shadows, thinking.

These days, he has been observing Tao Tao's progress.After getting the materials, although she hesitated, she started practicing immediately.She constantly released [Dark Attribute] energy, trying to summon it.

But neither worked.

Zheng Zhuo understood the reason more or less: the dark attribute will destroy the weapon.Therefore, it is not like other attributes that can be multiplied in weapons, and then released in one breath, it can only seep out of the magic stone a little bit.This decisively leads to insufficient output.

In the experiment a few days ago, Tao Tao has realized that it is not feasible to use weapons.

Therefore, she has been trying to summon with bare hands.

"Again……!"

Tao Tao stood up holding the colorless magic stone.

And the Sorcerer's Stone was a bigger problem than the weapon.

Looking at the still clear Sorcerer's Stone, Zheng Zhuo thought.

In the past few days, Zheng Zhuo also observed other training grounds.He saw some students debugging the Sorcerer's Stone on the spot, and had a general understanding of the theory of the Sorcerer's Stone.

The magic stone can convert the elemental properties in the magister's body into energy and store it in itself.This energy can be stimulated directly, or introduced into the weapon.

Generally speaking, after other elemental energies enter the magic stone, they will stay in the magic stone.The Magister encapsulates them for later use.The encapsulation process is very simple, and ordinary people can also do it.In every family, magic stones are also used in this way.

But the dark attribute does not work.It simply cannot remain in the Sorcerer's Stone. [Encapsulation] Once applied, it is like squeezing a sponge with one hand, and all the dark attributes will come out of the magic stone.

【Package】It only takes a few minutes.However, it only takes a few seconds for the dark attribute to be all streamed.

This is also the reason why so far, the magic of the dark attribute has only remained in theory.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the ground.

The earth is slowly absorbing the dark attribute energy flowing on the surface.But even so, the height of the dark energy in the low places of the field is still high enough for the magic stone to soak in it.

This is the performance of dark energy saturation in the practice field after several days of unremitting efforts.

"(How long has this girl been working hard...?)"

Zheng Zhuo thinks that he is enough to be considered a muscle.Unexpectedly, this [Subconscious World] rescue met someone more persistent than himself.

He looked towards a low-lying area closest to him.There are also several magic stones in this low-lying area.

They are perfectly black when soaked in dark energy.However, Zheng Zhuo saw that as soon as Tao Tao sealed it, all the energy would leak out and splash in the field.

"(Encapsulation... ah...)"

Zheng Zhuo bent down and picked up a magic stone.Just by pulling it out of the low-lying area, the black energy in the Magic Stone began to leak.It was like a plastic water bag full of holes.

"[Encapsulation]."

Zheng Zhuo also tried.Sure enough, as an ordinary person, he can also encapsulate...

Ok?
Zheng Zhuo looked at the magic stone.

【Package】Successful.Half of the dark energy is left in the magic stone.

what happened?

Zheng Zhuo quickly opened the [Subconscious World] panel.

"【Package】!"

This time, Zheng Zhuo saw it clearly.

The skill of [Quick Cast] lit up.

Zheng Zhuo reached out again to fish out the magic stones soaked in dark energy.

"...success...."

Even if they are fished out of the water, the dark energy in them has not leaked.The black energy stays perfectly inside these transparent stones.

……

【Task】

[Insist on packaging for another 10 minutes]

【award】

[Encapsulated Dark Energy Magic Stone]

……

"Hey!?"

Here we go again, that strange account, that strange task.

In order to practice this unfounded hypothesis, Tao Tao spent almost all the time before the game.To be honest, Tao Tao has already begun to wonder if this is a prank, and he is about to quit.

But now, it has appeared again.

"Every time, when I want to give up..."

10 minutes.I've stuck with hundreds of 10's.

"How could it be so short?"

……

10 minute later.

Sure enough, there was still no progress.

Just when Tao Tao was disappointed and left the training ground...

She found many encapsulated dark energy magic stones in the low-lying area of ​​the exit.

……

Got the first step.

This is all thanks to 【Fast Cast】.Didn't expect it to work like this.

Zheng Zhuo, who hid behind the distant colonnade, watched Tao Tao rush back to the training ground excitedly, and opened the material "What is Warcraft" he downloaded from the library.

According to the data, the researcher has a conjecture: if it is possible to summon monsters with dark energy, the specific type of monsters summoned is related to the expectations of the summoner at that time, and the stronger and clearer the expectations, the more likely the monsters will be summoned.

The evidence is that the monsters appearing in each area are consciously targeting the recent battle magisters.And the stronger the battle magister, the more monsters will appear later.

Speaking of injecting powerful ideas, of course [task] is the most confidence-inspiring.

After all, nothing gives people more confidence than believing in something that "if you work hard, you will succeed."

The game is about to start.We must seize this opportunity to increase Tao Tao's confidence and let her enter the state where she is most likely to summon a monster.

Zheng Zhuo intends to go all out and continue to release [task].

However, directionality needs to be chosen carefully.

Now, he already knows the general situation of the field, and also knows how to let players enter a specific field.

In the first game, it is the safest way to pass the specialization for a certain venue first.

"So……"
