Fang Zheng discovered that he seemed to be born incompatible with the teleportation girl.
The evidence is that he has been teleported to a remote place again.
Yes, literally.
Where on earth is this?
Walking in the forest, Fang Zheng couldn't figure out where he was. If it was just a forest, then it wouldn't be a big problem, but the problem was that Fang Zheng found that this forest seemed a little strange, because according to reason, even in winter, there would be animals in the forest. Even if most animals hibernated, there should be some signs of life.
But, there is nothing here!
Fang Zheng walked in the forest for a day and a night, but he didn't encounter any animals! Even in the sky, there were no birds. For a moment, Fang Zheng was a little panicked. Could it be that the transmission was wrong and he was thrown into a ghost place with no life? If so, it would be troublesome!
The only lucky thing was that Fang Zheng found a river in the forest, which made him feel relieved. According to Fang Zheng's memory, there must be human settlements above and below the river. Although the probability is not high, it is better than wandering around in the forest. Although Fang Zheng is not as hungry as an ordinary human after the transformation, he still needs to eat. If he gets lost for too long, he will probably have to eat tree bark.
But Fang Zheng was not idle. While he was on his way, he was also exploring his time ability to see if he could do anything with it. After all, he had wasted so much effort in the world of Edge of Tomorrow to get this ability, so it was not something he could just put on the table to show off.
Boredom is always the best motivation to stimulate research. During the time he was on the road, Fang Zheng actually figured out some ways to use his time ability.
Teleport!
Of course, this "teleportation" is not the kind of teleportation that travels through space, but the teleportation that travels through time. For example, if Fang Zheng can run five kilometers in ten minutes, then his "teleportation" will shorten this process to one second. In other words, Fang Zheng can appear five kilometers away in an instant, but this is not crossing the barrier of space, it is simply accelerating the flow of time.
Since the range of the time ability is centered on Fang Zheng himself, as long as Fang Zheng himself can move, there is no need to worry about leaving the range of the ability.
But there is another problem with this method, which is the physical energy consumed.
Time movement is different from space movement. Space movement connects two places to shorten the distance. But time movement only speeds up time and does not reduce the consumption. In other words, Fang Zheng still consumes the same amount of energy when he runs a hundred meters after using time acceleration. This is a less obvious disadvantage.
In addition, time acceleration will also increase Fang Zheng's physical growth. The price of being ten minutes faster than others is that you are likely to age ten minutes earlier than others. Although ten minutes may not seem too noticeable on the surface, it will add up to a lot. When ten minutes becomes ten years, it will be a different story.
Fortunately, the Zerg genes in Fang Zheng's body perfectly solved this problem. Miluen told him that the growth of the Zerg is a very unique cycle. When they devour genes and become stronger, their bodies will remain at the peak of this form until the next devouring evolution. This is why the bosses in the Zerg are more difficult to deal with than one another. However, due to the unique war mode of the Zerg, few Zerg can survive for such a long time.
In other words, other people grow one year older each year, but for Fang Zheng, he only grows one year older every time he evolves... Therefore, no matter how many times Fang Zheng uses his time ability, he will not age faster than others.
Not only that, Fang Zheng also discovered another aspect of the [Time Manipulation] ability, which is that the time and coverage of time manipulation are relative!
Currently, Fang Zheng's [Time Manipulation] level is E, with a maximum limit of ten minutes. Everything within a five-meter radius of Fang Zheng is affected. However, Fang Zheng can increase the time limit by reducing the area, or expand the area by reducing the time limit. For example, Fang Zheng can expand the affected area from ten meters to one hundred meters, and the time limit he can manipulate will be reduced to one minute. The same is true in reverse. If Fang Zheng reduces the time range to within one meter, then his time limit will be increased to twenty minutes.
In addition, Fang Zheng has also figured out a more complex way of using it!
This also comes from his understanding of the ability to control time, because in [Time Manipulation] it says "manipulate at will"!
This means that Fang Zheng can not only speed up the flow of time, but can even slow down and stop the flow of time!
On this basis, Fang Zheng also developed a new set of effective combat methods, which he called - overlapping strikes.
The whole process is actually very simple. When Fang Zheng is facing a target, he can choose to "teleport" by "accelerating" the flow of time for eight minutes to "teleport" himself to the opponent's side, start time "pause", then "go back" ten seconds to swing a sword, then "accelerate" ten seconds later to swing another sword, then "accelerate" thirty seconds later to release a judgment, after accumulating enough energy, "accelerate" five seconds later to release a verdict, and then "accelerate" one minute later to move away from the target.
In the eyes of bystanders, it would appear that Fang Zheng appeared in front of the target in the blink of an eye, and then they would see a few sword lights followed by the Sword of Judgment and Justice plus Judgment, Judgment, Judgment... and then Fang Zheng disappeared and the target died.
Unfortunately, this ability has no loopholes. Fang Zheng can manipulate time, but he cannot distort or change it. He can indeed achieve the goal of controlling time by speeding up and slowing down, but he cannot resist the process. In other words, if Fang Zheng needs eight minutes to reach the target, then when he "speeds up" to the target after eight minutes, he cannot "return" to two minutes ago to launch another attack. If Fang Zheng does this, his body will return to the position he should have been two minutes ago.
Similarly, if Fang Zheng's sword takes five seconds to hit the enemy, then he cannot retreat one second at a time within these five seconds and then attack again to form an offensive of five swords per second. If Fang Zheng wants to modify it, he can only determine that this sword cannot hit the enemy, then retreat five seconds ago, and then attack again from another angle.
And it should be noted that no matter how Fang Zheng "returns" or "accelerates", the total time he manipulates is limited. He cannot convert this time into infinity. No matter how he uses it, he must ensure that the total time he uses does not exceed the default range.
Therefore, for Fang Zheng, no matter he "speeds up" for one second or "retreats" for one second, the ability will default to Fang Zheng -1S-1S-1S... and then accumulate until the time limit.
If time is compared to money, then Fang Zheng only has a certain amount of money in his hands, which he can only spend and cannot take back.
In addition, Fang Zheng also discovered a flaw in his time ability.
Once he uses powerful skills when manipulating time, the duration will be reduced!
This was discovered after Fang Zheng used the Royal Cross Sword Technique. If he used ordinary attacks within the time limit, he didn't feel anything special. But if he used powerful sword techniques, such as Crusader Strike + Judgment + Divine Storm + Judgement, the consumption was terrifying. He couldn't even maintain his ability, and might even become exhausted. This also made Fang Zheng secretly worried. You know, if he persisted in a set of output, his time ability could only support a maximum of three minutes.
This is just me against a wooden stake, what if it’s those powerful enemies?
Let’s not worry about the Son of Chaos for now. If it’s the Lich Lord, or great knights like Malte and Stone, how long can your abilities last in front of them?
Originally, Fang Zheng thought that the ability to manipulate time meant that he could do whatever he wanted within a period of time. Now it seems that if the opponent has enough power, then his control over time will be weakened. If he encounters an enemy that he cannot deal with, it is possible that he will be immune to it.
Along the way, Fang Zheng was busy experimenting with his abilities. The description of the ability was just an introduction, and he had to think about how to use it. As a game designer and veteran player, Fang Zheng was naturally very experienced in this area. He directly treated this thing as a skill, and then began to experiment whether this skill was auxiliary or main attack... So far, auxiliary is still more useful. However, Fang Zheng always felt that if it was upgraded, it might have some potential in offense.
Of course, this has no effect now.
"Um?"
While Fang Zheng was busy studying his abilities, he suddenly raised his head and looked forward in surprise. Because just now, Fang Zheng keenly sensed the breath of life, and there were a lot of them!
The Zerg genes were very sensitive in terms of sensing. At this moment, in Fang Zheng's mind, he could clearly feel a lot of life signals gathering not far from him. That feeling was a bit like looking at the red dots on the small map in the StarCraft game. Although it was a bit inconsistent, it was fine as long as it worked.
Finally found something alive!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng suddenly became excited, and then he immediately sped up and rushed forward.
It didn't take long for Fang Zheng to reach his destination. Just as he thought, where there is water there are people, and what appeared in front of Fang Zheng was a small town. From the outside, this town was also a very beautiful place, but now, it had nothing to do with beauty and peace.
The reason is simple, it was attacked.
More importantly, the attack did not come from humans.
"That is..."
Standing on a tree branch not far away, Fang Zheng frowned and stared at the scene in front of him. Outside the town, a three or four meter high wall blocked the invaders. But the invaders did not give up the attack. They were a group of black wolves as big as war horses, numbering more than a hundred. These black wolves were circling outside the wall, ramming the gate frantically, and some even spit out flames from their mouths, spraying them on the wall.
World of Warcraft?
Fang Zheng certainly knew that there were magical beasts in this world, and there were quite a few of them. He didn't care about them before, but after learning that spirit crystals could be used to top up, he had secretly become interested in magical beasts. But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that he would actually see such a group of magical beasts here? !
Under the attack of this group of monsters, the town was obviously unable to resist. Fang Zheng saw the militiamen shooting arrows or throwing spears at the black wolves on the wall, but these attacks had no effect at all. The fur on the black wolves was as thick as armor, and the arrows and spears simply slid away when they hit them, posing no threat at all.
If these people hadn't put a pile of stones at the gate to block it, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
But, that's only for now.
Facing the attack of the black wolves, the town could no longer hold out and its defenses were about to be completely breached. Fang Zheng could certainly guess what would happen to this beautiful town once the black wolves broke through their defenses.
But... for Fang Zheng, this is not a problem.
Although he has done countless experiments, actual combat is always the best way to test it, right? Moreover, these black wolves are monsters...
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng looked at the black wolves as if they were a bunch of walking little coins.
It's time to recharge your gold!!
