66
This is a skill that increases reaction ability. It can be classified as a combat skill and is a passive skill. It will be automatically triggered as long as it is equipped, without the need to use it specifically.
But Tang Yingxue had no idea about the "5 times" mentioned in the skill description.
“Let’s test it,” Tao Sai said.
Tao Sai had never seen this skill in the game "Insect Tide", and she was quite curious.
"Okay," Tang Yingxue quickly equipped herself with the skill [Extreme Reflexes], but a look of hesitation appeared on her face. "How do I test it?"
"Otherwise... one of you will hit me?" Tang Yingxue said after thinking for a while.
"I'll do it!" He Zhaonian volunteered.
"Be gentle." Tang Yingxue warned him seriously.
"Don't worry, I know how to handle heavy objects." He Zhaonian said as he stretched out his hand, intending to pat her shoulder quickly.
But just as he stretched out his hand, before his palm rose ten centimeters, Tang Yingxue had reacted within a thousandth of a second, and reached out her hand like lightning to hit him back.
There was a crisp sound. Tang Yingxue didn't actually intend to use force, but the speed was too fast, and the force was amplified by inertia and all applied to the back of He Zhaonian's hand.
It felt like being hit by a slingshot. He Zhaonian shook his hand with a hissing sound. In an instant, he felt an excruciating pain, as if all his bones were broken.
"Be gentle!" He Zhaonian yelled.
"Sorry, I lost my strength." Tang Yingxue scratched her head sheepishly and came up to check the injury on the back of his hand. "Are you okay?"
He Zhaonian raised the back of his hand, and he and Tang Yingxue were both surprised to find that the part that had been hit by gravity just now was not unusual at all, and the skin was not even red.
The pain then completely disappeared.
The reason is not difficult to guess. Because of the special effect of the alliance, teammates are immune to damage. It hurts a bit, but it will not cause substantial damage.
Tang Yingxue was relieved. She turned around and said, "It seems like they reacted pretty quickly. Let's..."
Before she could finish her words, Tao Sai's palm strike had already hit her in the face.
Just a second ago, Tao Sai suddenly raised her hand and slashed down with her palm from three meters behind Tang Yingxue. Then she activated [teleportation] and flashed behind Tang Yingxue in the blink of an eye. She continued to chop down with her palm. It was such a coherent set of movements without any warning. Even Shi Jiahui, who witnessed the whole process, did not react to what happened.
When Tang Yingxue turned around, she was shocked to find that Tao Sai's palm was less than five centimeters away from her face. Her [Extreme Reaction] was triggered, and within one thousandth of a second, she took a half step back, holding her head with both hands to try to block.
Tao Sai stopped her attack before she chopped it down. She was just testing it and left enough room for the blow to stop. She would not really hit Tang Yingxue.
But what Tao Sai didn't expect was that [Extreme Reaction] would make the speed so ridiculously fast.
She saw Tang Yingxue complete this set of movements at a close distance, so fast that there was even an afterimage.
A few seconds later, Tang Yingxue came back to her senses, staring at her magical hands with wide eyes and exclaimed: "I actually dodged Sister Sai's attack!"
"Holy crap!" He Zhaonian also exclaimed. He was also stunned just now. "What an amazing skill."
"Hey, with this skill, can your speed keep up with the mutated flying insects?" Shi Jiahui suddenly thought.
"I think it's okay. It will give us an extra protection if we encounter mutated flying insects again." He Zhaonian said.
"I'm afraid... not yet." Tang Yingxue said with difficulty. She took two breaths. "This skill consumes energy."
She had just used two skills in a row and she felt like she couldn't catch her breath.
"Well, exercise is imminent!"
Tang Yingxue took a deep breath and became even more determined to improve her physical strength. Otherwise, if she only had skills but couldn't use them, she would be like Wu Dalang.
"It's my turn to open the skill blind box. I only hope to get a combat skill. From the time I bound the system to now, I have opened five or six blind boxes, and they are all auxiliary types." Shi Jiahui said sadly.
Her most powerful skill right now is the A-rank [Time Shift]. The rest of her C-rank and D-rank skills are pretty useless. The most ridiculous one is called [Accelerated Digestion]. As the name suggests, it speeds up the digestion of food, perfect for those with indigestion. When she first unlocked this skill, she burst into laughter.
Shi Jiahui actually has some psychological baggage. Her own attributes are not high, she does not have any special skills like Tang Yingxue, nor does she have He Zhaonian's understanding of the game. Her combat power is also weak, and her position in the team is a bit awkward.
"Combat skills, combat skills, combat skills..." Shi Jiahui muttered to herself, trying to take action, and then clicked on the skill blind box on the panel.
The system subtitles skipped before Shi Jiahui's eyes, but her gaze froze.
Generally in this case, the skills are either particularly good or particularly bad.
"Zhizhi, what skill did you use?" Tang Yingxue asked puzzledly.
"It's not a combat skill," Shi Jiahui said unwillingly. "[Energy Replenishment], C-rank. After equipping this skill, you can restore energy to the selected target."
"Restore energy?" Tao Sai's eyebrows moved.
"That's what it says," Shi Jiahui analyzed carefully. "I guess I can use skills to replenish my teammates' energy."
"Isn't that a wet nurse?" Tang Yingxue's expression gradually became excited. "That's great! We finally have a wet nurse in our team!"
“…”
Shi Jiahui had a strange expression and mixed feelings.
The good news is that she is finally useful. The bad news is that nutrient solution and recovery potion can completely replace her function. One costs gold coins and the other does not. At most, she is just a movable fountain.
Shi Jiahui expressed her thoughts in a depressed tone.
"In fact, there is no good or bad skill. The key is how you use it. Combining different skills can often produce magical effects. You just haven't found the method yet." Tao Sai said. This is not consolation, she really thinks so.
For example, her own D-level skill [Tempering] can be combined with [Gravity Adaptation] to become a gravity slingshot for a charge, and can also use slow to defeat fast to deal with mutated flying insects.
"Okay, I'll try to think about whether it can be linked with my other skills." Shi Jiahui said with a smile.
"Wait, I think I've discovered a pattern in the game," He Zhaonian said suddenly calmly. He had been holding his chin in thought since just now. "This game has a logic. It seems to know your thoughts. The more you think about something, the less it will give you. If you want to increase your stamina, it won't give you any. If you want combat skills, it will give you auxiliary skills, right?"
Tao Sai was stunned when she heard that. What he said seemed to make some sense. She had hoped to have balanced attribute points when she upgraded before, and didn't want to be biased towards one subject. However, her strength value kept rising.
"That's right! It must be like this!" The more He Zhaonian thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
"Watch me! I want rubbish skills, I want rubbish skills..." He clicked on the [Skill Blind Box] on the light screen while doing so.
Soon, subtitles popped up in front of me.
You opened the [Skill Blind Box]
[You have acquired the skill [Smell Enhancement·Level E]: After equipping this skill, your sense of smell will be enhanced (lasting 5 minutes).]
He Zhaonian: 6.
Tao Sai didn't unlock any skills. She currently had a lot of skills, all types, and she had everything she needed. She didn't have any particular desires. It wouldn't be too late to unlock the skill blind box after she had mastered the skills she already had.
Season 1 is still in progress, and during the season, gaining points is naturally the top priority.
But my daily morning exercises have really become a regular routine.
Tao Sai was the first to get up, and he woke everyone up for concentrated training. Not only the other three players from the Sea Tower, but also the crews from the three refuge ships.
He Zhaonian and his team divided the roles on their respective ships into logistics personnel and combat personnel, and the combat personnel were required to participate in morning exercises.
As for the exercise programs, they are all targeted.
Tang Yingxue has poor physical strength, so she and other fighters with poor physical strength followed Tao Sai to train their endurance, such as aerobic exercises such as long-distance running, cross-country running, and weighted running.
Shi Jiahui has poor strength and lifts dumbbells very consciously.
Because of the pressure from the mutated flying insects, everyone needs to practice agility together.
Tao Sai searched for a set of agility training tutorials on the Internet, which received good reviews. She used this as a training subject for everyone.
During the morning exercise on the first day, Tang Yingxue was sweating profusely.
She tried hard to keep up with Sister Sai's pace and regarded her as her goal. Her laziness was swept away, and time was gone without her noticing.
On the first day of exercise, she followed Tao Sai and ran five kilometers on a mountain road, carrying a 5-kilogram backpack. Although her legs were shaking at the end of the run, she persisted.
"Refreshing!" Tang Yingxue took a shower and lay on the sofa, feeling particularly fulfilled.
"Eat something and take a short rest. We are going to prepare to gain points," Tao Sai said.
"Okay." Tang Yingxue turned over and stood up.
This time, the target location they chose, Quzhou City, is far away from rivers, lakes and seas, and is almost an inland city.
The network signal was getting worse and worse, and information was gradually cut off. It was already quite difficult for them to find such a mission location by searching through their mobile phones.
The space wormhole opened to the Bihu Lake in the center of Quzhou City.
Bihu Lake is just a viewing lake in the park. It has a shallow water level and a small area. After passing through the wormhole, the "Wee Light" can only stop here as a command center.
"This is a tough battle, everyone be mentally prepared." Tao Sai said in the communication channel.
If the rescue target is a city near the water, it is often only necessary to transfer the survivors across the river to achieve the mission goal.
However, Quzhou City lacked natural insect-proof barriers like rivers, so the survivors had to travel long distances to reach safety. Therefore, they could only delay for a longer time in their defensive positions.
The epicenter was located on the west side of Quzhou City. After studying the map, the Hailou team quickly deployed three points on the west side of the city.
First was the main line of defense on the edge of the city, composed of Tao Sai's commandos.
The flank defense line is located behind the main defense line and is composed of combatants from the other three ships. They are poorly trained and lack combat experience, but they are not the main force and mainly serve to attract firepower and disperse the insect tide.
The highland sniper point, led by Tang Yingxue, targets the rising point of the insect tide.
An hour later, citizens began to evacuate one after another, with the destination being Yijiang River, 50 kilometers away.
At the same time, a huge swarm of insects was advancing on the west side.
"There are mutated flying insects! So many of them!" Tang Yingxue exclaimed on the communication channel.
She saw the surging swarm of insects through the high-powered scope of the electric sniper rifle. Countless flying insects were circling, and among them were extremely fast dark green flying insects that flashed from one end to the other like lightning. There were far more than just one of them, and there were seven or eight of them in this lens alone.
