Chapter 55: "Superpower Battle"
"Superpower Battle?" Wei Shengyu recognized it at a glance.
Xia Shi's eyes lit up: "Wei Sheng is playing it too?"
"It's a pity that I only have one device, otherwise we can play online together." Xia Shi looked regretful.
Wei Shengyu leaned back on the sofa and raised his hand slightly.
The next second, a furry stuffed bear came out with a pair of blue and white glasses in his hand, and the bear handed the glasses to Wei Shengyu.
She waved her hand, and the stuffed bear returned to the room again.
Wei Shengyu shook the glasses in his hand: "Now there are two."
"That's great!" Xia Shi was delighted. "I just started playing this game not long ago, and my level is not high. Wei Sheng must be very good. It's just right for Wei Sheng to take you to the entrance."
Xia Shi said to Jiang Ning.
"I'll teach you to play." Wei Shengyu looked at Jiang Ning and didn't refuse.
Xia Shi logged into his account on the device, and then handed the glasses to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning put on the glasses.
The scene in front of her changed instantly. Xia Shi and the others disappeared, and she was in a virtual game hall.
The lobby is filled with neon lights, LED screens, and advertising words. The colors are gorgeous, full of high-tech and cyber sense. These elements together create a virtual world.
She was dazzled for a moment.
"Jiang Ning, can you hear me?"
Jiang Ning tilted her head. Xia Shi's voice seemed to come from all directions, small and ethereal.
"I can hear it." Jiang Ning said.
"This game device is connected to your consciousness. Do you see the antenna-like logo on the virtual screen in front of you?" Xia Shi's voice came from above.
Jiang Ning looked around and finally found the sign Xia Shi mentioned: "I see."
"You turned on that button, that's the sign of the open world permission, which means you can play with others." Xia Shi said.
After Jiang Ning turned on the permission, the scene around her changed a lot. She was no longer in the game hall, but came to an antique street. There were many people on the surrounding streets.
Some of them were wearing very gorgeous clothes, while others were simple daily clothes.
Jiang Ning looked down at herself.
Since this account was Xia Shi's, her current image was a man.
The virtual screen in front of her had not disappeared yet. Jiang Ning clicked on the signs on it one by one and learned about it.
In addition to the basic game settings, personal image settings and online matching, there is also a supernatural power setting.
She clicked on it and looked at the details.
Players can freely choose three initial superpowers, but if they want to switch to other superpowers later, they need to recharge to change.
Xia Shi's first superpower is still the plant system, the second superpower is elemental power, and the third superpower is space system.
Except for the first one, the last two are the most popular superpower types in Star Interstellar.
Xia Shi's account is currently only level 5. To upgrade the level, you need to fight with others to gain experience, but Xia Shi's battle record is less than ten games. He spends most of his time simulating flower cultivation, so his level has not been upgraded.
Jiang Ning was about to continue scrolling down when a translucent white pop-up window suddenly popped up in front of her.
['Puppet Master' requested to add a friend. 】
"Go ahead, I'll introduce you to the basic gameplay first." Wei Shengyu's voice came.
Jiang Ning clicked to agree.
The next second, a girl in a black dress with a dark red hood appeared in front of her. Her whole face was very delicate, and it was similar to Wei Shengyu's original face, and it could only be described as "similar in spirit".
"What superpower did you choose?" Wei Shengyu asked.
Jiang Ning said the types of the three superpowers he had just seen.
The plant-based superpowers in the game can basically only be used to grow flowers and vegetables, and are completely useless in fighting.
Wei Shengyu tacitly agreed that there was no answer. She said to Jiang Ning, "Let's go to the superpower training camp first and test the subdivisions of the two superpowers that will follow."
"Where is it?"
Wei Shengyu opened a private training camp for two people and sent the invitation code of the room to Jiang Ning, "Click here to enter."
After Jiang Ning agreed, a huge suction force pulled her in.
The scene in front of her changed again, and the people around her disappeared, leaving only her and the 'puppet master' on a vast plain.
Wei Shengyu snapped his fingers.
Immediately afterwards, a puppet appeared on the plain.
"Switch to your second superpower, mobilize the mental power in your body as usual, release the elemental power, and then attack the puppet in front of you." Wei Shengyu said.
At Wei Shengyu's signal, Jiang Ning raised her hand and released her perception.
Then a stream of water surged out from her palm and went straight towards the puppet.
The water column was a little small, and only soaked a small area in front of the puppet's chest, but did not knock the puppet down.
"It turned out to be the water elemental power." Wei Shengyu showed a look of understanding.
Jiang Ning praised sincerely: "The special effects are not bad!"
It is to express the release of superpowers in reality with more exaggerated performance techniques.
"The techniques of elemental power are similar. You can use water to condense various weapons for attack. Combined with the gentle characteristics of water, you can also defend. It is both offensive and defensive, and it is very suitable for beginners like you." Wei Shengyu said to her.
At the same time, an ice arrow shot out from her palm, and it flew towards the puppet at a very fast speed, hitting its heart instantly. Then, ice crystals spread from the hole in its chest to the surroundings. In a few seconds, the puppet was frozen and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows: This effect is similar to her frozen watermelon.
Wei Shengyu waved her hand, and the pile of puppets on the ground that were broken into pieces disappeared, and she summoned a new one.
"You can turn on the superpower assistance, which will prompt you various water-based superpower moves." Wei Shengyu patiently told her how to operate.
Jiang Ning: "This game is just right for novices to learn how to use superpowers."
She found that when she used the water superpower just now, it did not really consume her own mental power, but the state of mental power flowing in her body when using superpowers was also simulated too realistically!
Jiang Ning followed the prompts of the auxiliary system and successfully switched to the use of several water elemental spells.
Xia Shi's account level was too low, and the mental power she currently possessed was only equivalent to that of a D-level superpower, so she only used it a few times and her mental power was exhausted.
Fortunately, this is in the game, so there is no need to wait for it to slowly recover. There are blue bottles for sale in the mall. According to Wei Shengyu, blue bottles are specifically used to restore mental power.
She used Xia Shi's points to buy a small blue bottle in the mall. She drank a few gulps. In less than ten seconds, the mental value column on the screen was fully restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"No wonder so many people are willing to indulge in games." Jiang Ning sighed.
Wei Shengyu smiled softly: "In order to prevent the citizens from getting addicted to the virtual world, the official "Superpower Battle" has made a strong anti-addiction mechanism. Once the game time reaches two hours, you will be forced to exit the game and wait for time to recover before you can re-enter the game."
She paused and turned to look at Jiang Ning: "Even so, there are many people willing to play it because of its real superpower simulation."
Next, under Wei Shengyu's teaching, Jiang Ning switched to the third superpower, which is the use of space superpower.
Xia Shi was too lazy to walk, so the space superpower he chose was teleportation.
But also because of the limited mental power, every time she tried a few times, her mental power was empty, and then she had to go to the mall to buy blue bottles again.
Wei Shengyu pondered for a moment and said, "I still have to help you improve your superpower level first. It's just right that I will tell you the core gameplay of the game."
"Superpower Battle is essentially a competitive game. After you click the [Start Game] button, you can find a single-player 1V1 duel in the middle of the interface. This is the most popular gameplay of this game."
"There are two more categories on both sides of the 1V1 duel, namely multi-player vs. multi-player and 100-player free-for-all. These two gameplays are entertainment modes and are not counted in the accumulation of experience."
"Now let me show you how to experience the 1V1 duel." Wei Shengyu returned to his game interface, clicked to start the game, and then sent an invitation to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning saw a pop-up window with an invitation to a game match, and she clicked to agree without thinking.
As a beam of light flashed around her, she found herself in a circular beast arena this time.
Two warm lights shone down from overhead in the center of the square, shining on her and another person.
She couldn't see the other person's face clearly because they were too far away.
But from the silhouette of the man, he didn't look like the "puppet master" image molded by Wei Shengyu. On the contrary, he looked a bit burly.
Jiang Ning turned her head and looked around. In addition to the warm yellow light that came from nowhere overhead, there was also a light blue translucent virtual screen not far ahead, with [Soul Hunter VS Future Farmer] written on the screen.
She looked up again and saw that the stairs around the arena were full of people. Their figures were all shrouded in darkness. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find them.
"Level 5? Is that a mistake? There must be something wrong with the match."
"This is a newcomer, right? A three-second silence for him. He ran into a strong opponent like the Soul Hunter right at the start."
"This match is totally boring. The Soul Hunter can kill him in less than five minutes."
"I guess three minutes."
"One minute."
"..."
Jiang Ning was very sensitive and heard all kinds of gossip coming from that side.
She looked up at the person opposite her calmly.
With the cheers from the audience, a strong man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, a burly figure, and a body full of tendons came out.
"Tsk..."
He looked at the future farmer represented by Jiang Ning with disdain.
"Boy, I advise you to surrender directly. If you wait until the countdown is over, I'm afraid I will have to punch you away. Although it's just in the game, you will still feel pain for a while." The Soul Hunter showed off his muscles. The
Soul Hunter is level 45, which is equivalent to an S-level psychic. The future farmer is only a D-level, and there is no comparison between the two.
Jiang Ning now knew that she had made a mistake in the game. She also wanted to click surrender and go back to find Wei Shengyu.
But...
where is the surrender button? ?
? Wei Shengyu hasn't taught her this yet!
