Chapter 489

The audience's enhanced observation ability allows Fujiwara's observational skills to reach a level where she can easily discern a person's true inner thoughts.

Yet this applies only to observing individuals; in the game, attention must remain fixed on the television screen, making it impossible to shift focus to the opponent playing the game, so judging the opponent's next move becomes naturally very difficult.

Ren Amamiya walked over with a smile.

"Let's start another round."

"Mmm~ Ren, I lost so badly."

Turning around, Fujiwara Chika immediately hugged Ren and began to cry and complain. This was clearly her area of expertise in gaming, yet she had been utterly crushed by little Nagi.

"Alright, alright."

Ren Amamiya gently patted Fujiwara, who was clinging tightly to him, soothing her wounded emotions.

"I already explained this to you earlier, didn't I? What the audience needs to realize is that they are merely observers all along; you are not a participant in the game. Precisely because you haven't yet clarified the relationship between the game and yourself, that is why you lost so badly to Sanzenin."

With a tear-stained face, Fujiwara Chika looked up at Ren with watery, glistening eyes.

"Then what should I do?"

Ren Amamiya instinctively stroked Fujiwara's hair to soothe her emotions, then offered his suggestion:

"Just focus on completing your role properly."

"The audience's enhancement strengthens your ability to judge a target's true thoughts by observing their actions and words, while the mental enhancement improves your concentration in observation, thereby allowing you to significantly boost your observational capacity regarding the target."

"Every game involves actions, and the movements of game characters follow a logic established during their initial design. Therefore, this is what the audience must do: observe the game character you are using, then make deductions about the true intentions behind certain actions, movements, and attacks."

Fujiwara Chika's eyes immediately lit up.

"So, what I need is to observe the game character's actions to confirm little Nagi's subsequent operational intentions, thereby anticipating little Nagi's moves?"

Ren Amamiya smiled and nodded slightly.

"So, start another round. Do not focus your attention on Sanzenin; focus your attention on the game itself."

"Oh! Little Nagi, let's go again!"

At that moment, Fujiwara Chika completely shed her tearful, willow-in-rain appearance, instantly regaining her momentum, and even adding a touch of excited eagerness.

"Fine, let's play! Did you think Ren's couple of reminders would let you beat me?"

Facing the challenge, Sanzenin Nagi did not choose to stop while ahead; first, she did not believe Chika could adjust herself so quickly.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

The game started again, and Sanzenin Nagi almost held absolute advantage, using her mastery of techniques to gradually deplete the health of the character controlled by Fujiwara Chika.

Yet the situation was already different from the previous completely one-sided beating.

In this round, the character controlled by Fujiwara Chika was no longer completely useless and wiped out immediately; instead, she inflicted damage amounting to more than half of the health of the character controlled by Sanzenin Nagi.

"... No way."

Sanzenin Nagi clearly felt a trace of pressure.

In such a short time, Fujiwara Chika's control skills would not improve, yet Fujiwara Chika seized many opportunities involving large character movements, dodged many attacks that were certain to hit, and even used her half-baked skills to seize the Zhuleji Society and launch a counterattack.

The second round began very quickly as well.

And this time, the number of times Fujiwara Chika seized opportunities to counterattack increased, even more than double the previous amount. Her technique remained unchanged; Fujiwara Chika still could not execute beautiful combos, yet this single counterattack method made Sanzenin Nagi feel very uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, the second round was still lost.

Yet this time, Sanzenin Nagi's character had only a sliver of health remaining; if not for the excessive gap in technical skill, the final outcome of this round could have been changed.

"Wooooo!"

Even though she still lost, Fujiwara Chika jumped up excitedly.

"... Is this really that absurd?"

Although the game was won, Sanzenin Nagi clearly felt immense pressure.

She had truly almost lost just now. If her skill had not been slightly better, she would have already suffered a crushing defeat.

"Her technique has not improved at all, yet she managed to achieve such a thing relying solely on observation."

The counterattack method was very crude, yet relying on such rudimentary skills, she almost wore her down to death; one can imagine that if Fujiwara Chika's skills were on the same level as hers, she would have already lost twice by now.

"Simply elevating observation to this level is indeed quite headache-inducing."

Aizawa Sakuya is also someone who enjoys playing games and has conducted certain research on them, so she could better understand how absurd Fujiwara Chika's performance in that last round truly was.

"Besides observation, there is also very strong concentration. During the second round, every one of little Nagi's attacks could be easily interrupted, directly cutting off little Nagi's assault, and even allowing a counterattack against little Nagi."

Saginomiya Isuzu is actually not skilled in games requiring such operational dexterity, yet she was dragged by little Nagi to play many games; even without possessing strong technical skills, she still acquired the corresponding appreciation ability.

In summary, the audience's observation ability is too absurd!
