Chapter 1670: Optimal Solution 2

Plan 2...

The light curtain was pulled down.

After calming down, Lin An also stopped thinking about anything else and simply continued researching other plans.

He did not hastily decide to use Plan 1.

Although the effect was already monstrous, the increase in combat power was still too low.

Moreover, as the plan evaluation said, it lacks versatility.

With 30 points of rule resistance plus 1100 attribute points, amazingly he could beat ordinary Fifth Stage opponents. Against those with slightly special rules, he still had no way.

The enemies he faces are too many and too strong.

What he needs is greater combat power, something that can completely make up for his shortcomings!

Although it sounds a bit fantastical, he only has 20 points to use; even a clever woman can't cook without rice.

But if one says Lin An previously didn't hold much hope.

Now, though...

Optimal Plan 2:

1: Detach the current rule on the rule exchange page and sell it.

2: After selling the 【Electromagnetic】 and 【Eternal】 rules, one is expected to gain 40+15 Apocalypse points, and clear the rule slot.

3: Spend 20 points to exchange for the initial level of the Spatial Rule Branch, 【Following Shadow】.

4: Spend 20 points to exchange for the initial level of the Element Rule Branch, 【Wind Elementalization】.

5: Spend 20 points to exchange for War Star Level equipment, 【Elemental Short Staff】.

6: Spend 10 points to exchange for War Star Level prop, 【Death Duel Contract】.

Plan details: This plan changes the current combat mode and replaces existing rules. Under the Following Shadow rule, you will gain basic Spatial Rule Ability. In the Wind Elemental state, you will gain basic rule resistance and improve mobility.

After changing the rule, you can gain melee attack opportunities in battles below Shattered Star Level, and through the Death Duel Contract, force combat.

Plan advantages: Using this plan, expected combat power increase against targets below War Star Level is -21.7%, against War Star Level targets is %, against Shattered Star Level enemies is 0%.

Plan disadvantages: Using this plan, potential decreases by -%.

It's quite strange, even somewhat pathological a route...

After looking at Plan 2, Lin An frowned and gave his evaluation.

Compared to the first plan, Plan 2's combat power enhancement is much higher.

Especially after carefully reviewing the system's suggested rule equipment for exchange, he also understood the core principle of this plan.

"My current rule, although its potential is great and its level extremely high, is not practical for fighting Fifth Stage opponents before fully mastering it."

"So the system's meaning is to have me 'delete' the Electromagnetic Rule and replace it with whatever suits the current situation best."

"Following Shadow..."

Upon opening the description of Following Shadow, Lin An's eyes flashed with a strange hue.

Fourth Stage rule, still at the initial level.

As long as he exchanges for it, he can now directly master it.

This rule is not only extremely low in level, but its effect is also quite singular.

In the system explanation, as long as the target's level isn't too high, after using the Following Shadow rule he can move together with the opponent. Under forced following, even just exchanging for Fourth Stage strength is effective against Fifth Stage.

But similarly, this rule cannot be used when there is no one around, and it provides no increase in combat power.

"Using a rule with extremely great limitations, extremely simple, to make up for my mobility..."

"The Wind Elementalization rule is also Fourth Stage, but elementalization naturally has resistance to rules; likewise, it uses the nature of rules to make up for my shortcomings..."

The idea is equally clever.

But for Lin An, this plan, he finds it somewhat unacceptable.

Just look at the plan evaluation and you'll know.

In the system's calculations, his damage output is overflowing, and the biggest drawback is that he can't keep up with these Fifth Stage opponents.

Therefore the system directly lowers his combat power to increase his flexibility and resistance against enemies.

After elementalization, overall combat power is reduced, but according to his current attributes, he can still kill War Star Level opponents.

Thus the evaluation shows data of being weaker against Fourth Stage but stronger against Fifth Stage.

Simply put, after using this plan, he originally could instantly kill a hundred Fourth Stage opponents but couldn't beat a single Fifth Stage; after using it, he can instantly kill fifty Fourth Stage opponents and can defeat a Fifth Stage.

"The potential has dropped too much... swapping out Electromagnetic and Eternal... what am I to do in the future?"

"A trash Spatial Rule, an elementalization; even if I become Fifth Stage in the future, I'd probably be the weakest of that kind."

A garbage spatial rule, an elementalization—even if I become a Fifth Stage in the future, I'd probably be the weakest kind.

Although Lin An clearly understands that in the face of life and death, everything can be abandoned.

But he is unwilling, truly unwilling.

After elementalization, he indeed has higher rule resistance, but this also means he must completely abandon the path of physical strengthening.

From now on, his attributes will forever be one thousand points, perhaps stuck at the initial Fifth Stage for life.

Under the Apocalypse, what's the difference between this and waiting to die?

As for first getting through this mission, then later swapping back the rules...

As for getting through this mission first, we'll change back the rule later...

"In the Electromagnetic Rule provided by the system, there is basically no path like mine currently."

"Even if I switch back, I would only get the most ordinary Electromagnetic Rule... I don't even have the chance to master other abilities."

"Even if I change it back, I'd just switch to the most ordinary electromagnetic rule... I don't even have the chance to master other abilities."

Moreover..

He secretly sighed.

Lin An shook his head and directly abandoned this plan.

This plan is stronger in combat power than the first, but it also doesn't help much with his current situation.

Not only that, he fights using elemental transformation and spatial rules; the outside Hei Di and others will probably instantly discover how trash the rules he, Lin An, has mastered are!

A little thought, even an idiot could guess he is Body System + Fourth Stage rules.

"Plan 3.."

Continue scrolling.

Lin An looked at the third plan with a solemn gaze.

He thought seriously.

He realized that the plans given by the system also have limits; even the strongest of the two plans only lets him have a fighting chance against early Fifth Stage.

He has too few points; no matter how clever his ideas, there is a limit.

He can only hope that the third plan will produce a "miracle".

"Optimal Plan 3:"

"Warning: This plan may trigger unknown consequences. After use, it may cause the current mission's difficulty to spike sharply."
