Chapter 4269
"What the hell!" he shouted, "What kind of skill is this? The damage is so high???"
"It should be a skill that requires channeling," Lord Batman was still very calm, and he said, "These monsters don't have the awareness to interrupt channeling; letting him finish the entire bar, of course, means taking full damage. Moreover, this kind of damage should be the product of one data point and another; the further it channels, the more exaggerated the damage increase. It looks like it's also specifically designed to deal with monsters."
Lord Superman breathed a slight sigh of relief; he thought that made sense, as Schiller had been writing medical records there for a long time, which was likely channeling, and he was just bullying the monster for not understanding skill mechanics. There are no weak players who can participate in this game, and basically, no one would give him the space to channel.
Bruce also calculated in his heart; Schiller had stood there for more than ten seconds just now, and even if it wasn't all channeling, the channeling must have taken several seconds. If it had been interrupted, it shouldn't have taken such high damage.
Greed himself knew this situation, and he said, "No wonder the negative status given by 'Mental Derangement' is 'Fumble'; as long as you channel for a second or two and hang a few layers of 'Fumble' on the opponent, it's not that easy to interrupt."
"That's right," Gray Fog said, "However, both of our skill sets are more inclined toward fighting monsters; if we fight players, there are still big shortcomings. Should we help them solve that robot too?"
"No, we've already done what we should do. Let's withdraw from the combat area first and explore inside."
After saying this, Greed turned and walked out. The remaining two didn't stop him. He did indeed contribute the most to this battle, so it was reasonable for him to go in first. What's more, in such a large place, it's impossible for there to be only one monster, and it's not like whoever goes out first gets the treasure first. If they stay here a little longer, maybe other monsters will also be solved by Greed.
After Greed walked out, he didn't think he could find the treasure directly. He knew his own luck. However, he still found a switch in a room, and after turning it off, he eliminated his blindness status before returning to the corridor.
Just at this moment, he saw some swaying shadows on the wall, very faint, a bit like water ripples; if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to notice them at all. Greed was a bit curious, focused his attention on looking over there, and then discovered that this thing could be attacked.
He stood directly at a distance, first chanting, then settling the damage. With a bang, the opponent was blown right off the wall.
This thing turned out to be a spider with a ring of legs, its body was translucent, and in places with very bright light, it was very difficult to see it. Greed suddenly realized that if he hadn't turned off the lights just now, his entire field of vision would have been very blurry, and he definitely would have been ambushed by this thing.
Greed only killed this one, but he saw that there seemed to be a few more on the wall, so those would have to be left as a surprise for Lord Superman and Bruce.
He walked inward all the way, and sure enough, there were patrolling robots inside, but not the kind of large robots; they were about the same size as humans, and there were only two at a time.
Without teammates to attract attention, Greed having to chant was indeed quite troublesome. But he discovered that chanting would not be interrupted by ordinary attacks, and the opponent's skill was a straight-line beam of light, which was relatively easy to dodge.
Greed walked while chanting, muttering to himself, writing toward the robots. Soon, he solved the gatekeepers.
As expected, there were some things in this room. Greed began to scavenge the drawers and cabinets, and besides finding some supplies, he also found two pieces of equipment, but unfortunately, he couldn't use either of them.
One was an electromagnetic gun, which looked like Stark's equipment, but it didn't have any special attributes. Greed felt that this should be loadable into Stark's weapons vault, but this kind of ordinary weapon also pollutes the card pool and is meaningless.
The other was a "Cape Cleaner," which sounded like something Batman would use, but actually, anyone could use it to increase movement speed slightly. However, considering that the combat area with players is very small, it's easy to hit a wall if the movement speed is increased too much, so Greed thought about it and didn't use it.
Others use superpower movement; no matter how fast his leg-based movement is, it's useless, and it's easy to bump into someone else's area-of-effect skills.
However, he still stored these two items because maybe Gray Fog could use them.
"Sigh, no good stuff," Gray Fog lamented, "Is there anything that adds luck? Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll only be able to touch that necklace in this game."
Greed also shook his head; the two of them had already used up their lifetime of luck to touch Gray Fog's exclusive equipment, so it was normal for junk to come out next; after all, if they both touched exclusive equipment, then others wouldn't need to play.
Greed was a bit curious about what his exclusive equipment was, but it should probably be like Gray Fog's exclusive equipment, having both advantages and disadvantages; he hoped it was an item that added chanting speed or something similar.
And the remaining two soon defeated that robot. After they came out, they tacitly didn't walk together; each chose a direction and turned into different rooms.
Lord Superman had better luck; the room he entered didn't have a gatekeeper. After he went in, he started rummaging through boxes and cabinets, saying while rummaging: "Better give me something good."
Lord Batman could feel that he still had some resentment about his own sacrifice, but now, quite a few people had already changed characters, and they weren't in last place, so it was about enough.
Who knew that Lord Superman rummaged around and actually found something. The item's name was "Explorer's Skateboard."
Upon seeing the attributes, Lord Superman immediately became excited and said: "Look, Batman, this is your exclusive equipment!"
"Explorer's Skateboard: See how slippery your feet are. Doubles the success rate of dodge skills. For every successful dodge, gain two additional action points. Action points can be overloaded. Each additional action point will provide a 5% damage increase to the user's next attack."
"Indeed not bad," Lord Batman evaluated, "Unfortunately, Schiller's side has also changed characters. If it were paired with that mist's damage reflection..."
Lord Superman also imagined this scene.
Given: Gray Fog's damage reflection is group damage reflection; as long as one enters the combat range, once Gray Fog loses health, everyone loses health. He cannot control who loses health and who doesn't, but this kind of health loss also counts as dodgeable.
And if Lord Batman, carrying this skateboard, enters Gray Fog's range, others will lose health, but Lord Batman can dodge, and if the dodge is successful, he can have extra action points, and action points can also increase damage.
He hits Gray Fog once, Gray Fog reflects damage, he dodges, he increases damage, then he hits again, is immediately reflected damage again, dodges again, and increases damage again. Isn't this an infinite loop?
And if it's in a group fight environment, besides him hitting Gray Fog, others will also hit, and he can also take the group damage reflection. Thanks to high dodge, he won't take much damage, but he can get a lot of action points and damage increases. Once the damage increase stacks up, who could be a match for him?
Unfortunately, Batman lacks some explosive skills. Although "Ten Thousand Arrows Fired" is easy to use, it requires sacrificing one of his lives, which is not very cost-effective; if he only uses the toolbox to throw batarangs, only the first shot has a damage increase, and the damage probably won't be very high.
However, Lord Batman realized the power of this skill and said: "The key is action points. If we dodge 10 times successfully, we will have 10 action points; I don't know if there is an upper limit to overloading. If there isn't, we might be able to get several action points in one fight. In this game, time is life."
Lord Superman also understood. Because actions outside of combat are turn-based, others only have 5 points per turn and can't move after walking 5 squares, while they can have dozens of points per turn and run all over the map; wouldn't all these loot areas be theirs?
Lord Superman was instantly overjoyed and rushed toward the next room.
Bruce's luck wasn't very good; the room he encountered had a gatekeeper. Fortunately, he didn't have trouble fighting this kind of ordinary robot; he knocked it down in a few moves, and after entering, he also touched an item, but it was somewhat baffling.
"Treasure Bag: Can store 5 additional items. When the Treasure Bag is full, the success rate of all checks performed by the owner of the Treasure Bag increases by 30%. And if the check is successful, the number of items required to satisfy the Treasure Bag skill trigger is reduced by 1, and the success rate increases by an additional 10%."
"What is this?" Bruce looked at the leather bag in his hand with some confusion and then said, "Is it possible that our items have an upper limit? But I don't have any check skills."
"Perhaps it's an item for someone who hasn't entered the field yet," Selina said, "Currently, we don't know what skills Steve and Bucky have. Oh, by the way, I don't know what my skills are either."
"I suspect this thing is exclusive to you," Bruce said, "Your skill set is very likely to require checks."
"Oh, shit!" Selina cursed, "I hate this kind of probability-based stuff the most."
"It's fine, haven't you touched out your exclusive equipment now? The check success rate increases by 30%, and it can continue to stack upward; it will definitely stack to 100% in the end, it's just that I don't know if the skills you need to check are strong enough."
"He better be strong enough," Selina said, "But I still think you can win with one life; it would be best if I don't have to take action."
"I'll try my best," Bruce smiled and said.
Just as he finished speaking, he felt a vibration in the ground. He subconsciously looked in the direction the vibration came from, but soon discovered through the window next to him that the spaceship was actually leaving the ground.
Lord Superman also discovered this point, and he was practically full of question marks: "No, buddy, back to Krypton???"
"It must be Schiller's doing!" Bruce said, "This dungeon shouldn't have any plot; how can the spaceship start? Shouldn't the subsequent plot be the frozen alien monster running out?"
"It's broken, it's broken, it's broken," Selina said, "Schiller jumped off the plane! Let's jump too, quickly!"
Bruce rushed to the window and looked down; Schiller had indeed already landed. He seemed to have lost some health from the fall, but because he jumped relatively early, he didn't lose much health.
But by the time they discovered the spaceship had taken off, it was already more than ten meters off the ground. Bruce felt bitter: you say you're a war-chess game, why are you doing y-axis stuff? Jumping down from this height, you'd definitely fall to your death, right?
His shield can only block attacks, not immunize against fall damage, and he doesn't have any skills to increase defense. Then, in the blink of an eye, he watched Lord Superman jump down too; the other party jumped down holding the sun, but he only had a sliver of health left. That is to say, in the case of having a high defense bonus, jumping down from this height almost killed him instantly with fall damage. If he jumped down like this, he would have to change characters the moment he landed.
"Can't hesitate, Bruce, jump quickly!" Selina looked at the screen and said, "If it takes you out of the competition area directly, we'll both be judged as having lost!"
Bruce gritted his teeth, smashed the glass with a punch, stood in the cold wind and cursed a thousand times, but still closed his eyes and took a leap.
Immediately following, a white light lit up on the snowy ground.
"Success!" Greed and Gray Fog cheered at the same time.
