"I'm a bit bored, let's change the game."

When Ash suffered his tenth consecutive defeat in "Magician Duel 14" tonight, he made a suggestion that Diya had expected.

Tonight, Ash gave up the Wandering Swordsman he had been practicing, and used popular characters such as Alchemist and Queen of the Earth, and even special characters such as Anti-Mage and Green Scythe. They all have the same feature - they have simple and easy-to-use cyclic suppression routines.

Simply put, it is "spear moves" - this is a term in the "Warlock Duel" series, specifically referring to those moves that are as simple and practical as spear attacks but difficult to resist, which greatly affects the viewing experience of the game, and therefore will be disabled by players by default.

Don't think that Ash is the only one who has read the book "The Magician Duel Series Strategy Guide". Diya also took the time to let Liz read it, so she naturally knows what spear moves are.

Unfortunately, Ash only knew how to learn such superficial skills, and didn't know that the real key to the magician duel was "confirmation", "difference", "eyeing" and "standing back" - or in other words, these were too difficult to learn, so he gave up directly.

The more Diya played, the more she felt that "Magician Duel" contained too much knowledge about magician combat, many of which could be directly integrated into real combat. For example, "Observation" is to observe and confirm how much stiffness time your attack can cause to the enemy, and just connect with the subsequent attack to form an irresistible combo, thereby causing heavy damage to the enemy.

The skills of the game characters themselves are just different ingredients. As long as you master the key, you can easily beat anything.

The same goes for miracles. Newbies who randomly use all miracles are naturally left with only production value. Those who are a little proficient in tactics, like Ash, know how to use miracles to perform combo critical hits, but that's all. The real strong ones are like Diya, who not only knows how to use bursts, but more importantly, can seize every flaw of the enemy, and can even create one even if the enemy has no flaw.

At the beginning, Ash was able to use the spear move to suppress Diya on the edge of the board, but when Diya figured out the characteristics of the spear move, she used squatting, high jumping and other actions to get away from the edge of the board. When Ash used the same trick again, Diya would seize the flaw and defeat him directly.

Therefore, when Ash suggested playing other games, Diya was not surprised at all. Tonight's spear feast was Ash's last stubbornness.

He was corrupted, and would rather give up the dignity of a player to gain the power to defeat the enemy, but he was still easily crushed by Diya. In fairy tales, those evil villains were easily trampled to death by the righteous protagonist.

Ash knew that he couldn't beat himself in this game, so he naturally stopped playing with himself. On this point, Diya and he had the same view - never play a game that you can't win.

"Okay." Diya put down the controller: "Then what shall we play?"

"Let me look for it..."

Ash opened the drawer under the large light curtain. Inside were various game cartridges, which were already labeled and categorized: "To be played with the children in the future", "Niche masterpiece", "Always playable", "Only play when the young lady is not around"...

He searched for a while and suddenly pulled out a cassette: "This is it!"

Diya thought that if the game was boring, she could just let Liz come out and play with him. Anyway, as long as she "beat" Ash, she would have completed her mission as a spectator. But when the screen showed the game, she couldn't take her eyes away, even when Liz banged on the mirror next to her.

Kartmaster 5

"It's a spin-off of the Magician Duel series. The game characters drive karts to race in various virtual environments, and can also use miracles to attack other opponents." Ash said, "Let's play this!"

"good!"

This game may help me learn how to attack others in the car!

They both thought of it at the same time.

…

…

An hour and a half later, the two came out of the game room, their hair was messy and Yaxiu's clothes were torn. They looked at each other, snorted coldly and walked away with their backs turned - Yaxiu went back to his room and Diya went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Although I'm not surprised at all, are you really having a falling out with Liz?"

Igula just happened to come out of the room and couldn't help laughing when he saw how the two of them were getting along.

"Don't make it sound like I have some responsibility." Ash said unhappily, "That little brat can't stand losing and gets angry, so should I put up with her?!"

"Although I have no experience in raising children, from my experience in the orphanage, I know that guardians have to give in to the children. Looking back now, it was a wonderful time. I controlled the entire orphanage with the help of the Child Protection Act, and even the adults didn't dare to resist me..."

Ash was no longer surprised by Igula's evil and outrageous past. He complained, "We were just playing a racing game. It's an inevitable part of the game that everyone holds each other back. However, Liz got angry because I dragged her down from first place three times in a row... Sigh, why do kids nowadays care so much about winning or losing?"

"Ash, I sincerely suggest that you wear a mask. After all, your facial expression management is really worse than that of the new resident brought back by Harvey. When you said this, you couldn't hold back your gloating smile."

"Ah?" Ash touched his mouth subconsciously: "Then buy me a mask when you go out. It has to be nice."

"How do you know I'm going to..." Igula got stuck halfway through his sentence. He looked down at his windbreaker and boots. Even a fool would know that he was going out - they usually wore slippers here.

Ash: "Have you talked to Harvey?"

Igula knew what he wanted to ask and shook his head: "I asked, but Harvey didn't say what mission he and An Nan carried out last night. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"The cold fire that was gradually extinguished in his body seemed to be really burning up." Igula said against the wall, "If Harvey was digging his own grave before, then now he seems to be planning to dig the grave bigger and bigger, but no one knows who he is burying."

"In other words, Annan has completely activated Harvey?" Yaxiu said, "Could it be that the young lady will use the "Light of Hope"? "

"Harvey is not immortal. The lamp of hope cannot cure this." Igula shook his head: "But the things he cares about are nothing more than two things. One is his dead lover, and the other... is the cause of the Undead Faction."

"Humph, you're different from me. I wish I was the only one in the world who knew the psychic faction, but Harvey wanted the whole world to practice the necromancy faction."

"It's Igula you're not normal." Ash said, "Don't you expect a friend who is equally matched with you, who can keep up with your thinking and exchange sparks of wisdom with you?"

The Trickster glanced at the cult leader.

"Only cowards need friends." He said, "Harvey is that kind of person. He can't survive without relying on anything. He keeps his life just to risk it all... I have seen too many patients like him. I have many clients like him, who are strong, persistent, but more fragile than glass. But Harvey is also a heavyweight among the mental patients I have seen. Do you know why he likes the undead faction so much? Because he is so lonely that he needs the company of the dead-"

"Hey." Ash interrupted him, his expression half joking and half serious: "It's only meaningful to say bad things about people in person. Saying bad things about others behind their backs is like holding up a shield and blowing up shit. It's not exciting at all."

"Are you still in the mood to care about others, Ash Hiss?" Igula raised his head, his face full of sarcasm: "If Harvey didn't come to us, you should have understood that he had other plans. You don't have any friends in this house, and the alliance no longer exists."

Ash glanced at him and suddenly laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I was just thinking, when you want to use me you say nice things to me, so when you say mean things to me, what are you trying to do?"

Ash patted Igula's shoulder and said, "I'm going to the virtual world. I wish you good luck at work tonight."

"I hope you get hit to death by a white bull in the virtual world." Igula said unhappily.

Ash returned to his room to take a shower, and while there was still time, he chose to soak in the tub and open the game system to study it.

If he hadn't gotten the map last night, Ash wouldn't have known that his virtual world map had a recording function, so the game system might have some practical options that Ash hadn't discovered yet - for example, virtual world exploration might be able to be hosted...

However, as soon as Ash opened the game, he saw a red dot in the "Operator Management". He clicked on it and saw that there was an envelope icon on the portrait of Fiora.

"Hint: You have received 'Sword Princess's leave request'."
