Chapter 17 This Game is Not Just About Numerical Comparisons
"You want to fight the Ravager???"
Ghost Face Fox exclaimed.
As the most stable person in the three-man team, Fox rarely raised his voice when speaking. Mainly because Thin Dog's words reminded him of the history when the two of them were brutalized by the Ravager last time. In that narrow tunnel, he was hit three times and died directly.
By the time he died, the Ravager still had 80% health.
They were not even on the same level!
"No. Thin Dog, you don't think that with Lin Tang joining us, our combat power can be increased by much, right? He's a mod maker who knows jack about fighting!"
Lin Tang: "???"
Fox: "If we die right after reviving this time, what if we get banned by the NPCs? This is not a single-player game where you can stand up immediately after dying, teleport back and continue. This game has death penalties!"
"Fox, don't be agitated, don't be agitated!"
Thin Dog quickly tried to appease Fox.
"I'm not messing around. I've consulted my special forces trainer and have strict theoretical preparations before the battle."
Time went back to one day ago.
After chatting for half a day in the group and the forum post-logout, Pu Shenqi sat in his 100+ square meter study, getting angrier the more he thought about it.
"Why can't the two of us beat the Ravager?"
"Theoretically speaking, as long as the monster has a health bar, it can be defeated."
He remembered a walkthrough he had made in the "Sekiro" forum before, challenging the final boss at level 1 without any equipment or skills!
Originally it was a plotline kill, where the player-controlled character would die from a single hit, and the battle was just a transition.
But when Pu Shenqi discovered that he could deal minuscule damage to the Boss, he had an idea.
"If I don't get hit by him even once, theoretically, I can grind him to death."
Then a video appeared that shocked the Sekiro forum for a whole year: "Sekiro Cleared Right From the Start, Level 1 Challenge to the Final Story Boss - African Thin Dog".
Became famous in one battle!
If Lin Tang's advantage in their three-man team was in deducing the design logic behind the game, and Fox had insight into various data, then Pu Shenqi, who called himself the top expert on the forum, had combat power!
Top hardcore player!
Operation monster!
"Since the two of us fighting randomly can take off 20% of the Ravager's health, it means that with proper operation, we can completely kill the Ravager!"
"Judging from the realistic physics engine of this game, the data can be completely compensated by operation and strategy!"
Immediately, Pu Shenqi called his trainer - retired special forces instructor Chang Sheng.
The Pu family had a rule left by Pu Shenqi's grandfather, the founder of Duo Yu Group.
"We Pu family, regardless of gender, must exercise and train our physiques from a young age. Only a strong physique can support a strong soul!"
This was a family rule that anyone with the Pu surname must abide by and pass down.
It was said that this family rule was left because Pu Shenqi's legendary grandfather passed away at a young age.
Pu Shenqi's grandmother was strict with him since he was young, not urging him to study, but only requiring him to strengthen his body. She even found a special forces trainer for him.
In the villa's fighting arena.
"Coach Chang, I have a simulated battle to consult you about. Suppose my opponent is 2 meters tall, 30% to 50% heavier than me, extremely impact resistant, and has twice the strength. He uses blunt weapons like sticks, and I can choose similar sized blunt weapons. For this type of armed combat with a large difference in scale, how can the weak defeat the strong?"
Chang Sheng pondered briefly.
"Is it no-holds-barred fighting?"
Pu Shenqi: "Completely unlimited, with the goal of beating the opponent until they lose the ability to move."
Chang Sheng nodded: "Based on your description, if it's wrestling, you have absolutely no chance of defeating your opponent. But if it's armed combat, there's a chance!"
"Wrestling and martial arts are competitions of technique and strength, emphasizing stopping at the right point. Weapon techniques are killing skills."
"In weapon-based combat, the importance of strength is ranked after speed and timing. If the opponent has an advantage in strength and stamina, you just need to be faster than him, seize every opportunity to strike, and hit his vital points, then you can win. How is the opponent's skill?"
Pu Shenqi recalled the Ravager's attacks that were wide open with no technique: "No skill at all, just brute force!"
"Then the hope of winning is even greater. Although you haven't learned Bagua steps, the concepts in it will definitely be useful in this simulated battle you described, which is..."
"Intercept, Neutralize, Counter?"
Lin Tang interrupted Thin Dog's description.
Thin Dog: "???"
Fox: "Don't interrupt, let Thin Dog finish! What concept?"
Thin Dog: "Circle wide, take small steps, strike later but arrive first!"
"That is, use our agile bodies to find the Ravager's openings, constantly move into his blind spots, not let him exert force straight on, dodge at the moment he strikes, and counter after his attack winds down! Hit him when his force hasn't been withdrawn yet!"
"The coach was talking about 1v1 techniques. If operated well, the Ravager can be completely ground down! If it's the three of us against 1 Ravager, then we have ample margin for error to take him down, guaranteed!"
Lin Tang and Fox both gasped.
Lin Tang: "Whoa~ So it can be fought like this!? I feel I'm capable again!"
Fox: "Whoa~ This is the first time I'm using real-life techniques in a game. That's right! For this kind of realistic cross-era virtual game, we should use real-life techniques! I was being shortsighted. This game is not just about numerical comparisons."
Seeing that his two teammates had understood, Thin Dog immediately said: "Then let's go find a lone Ravager now and try out our tactics!"
"Let's go! The Ravager camp we went to last time can still be seen on the map. Let's go take a look."
The three had just set off down the mountain when they saw a green-skinned Ravager holding a spiked club in one hand, about to come up the mountain.
As their eyes met, both sides showed surprised expressions.
The Ravager was surprised to find the humans their leader wanted to kill.
Based on their combat experience, 3 ordinary humans... those were easy to beat, at most they would suffer some minor injuries.
The three players were pleasantly surprised to have experienced opponents coming to their door!
"Roar!"
The Ravager let out an angry roar and charged forward, swinging the spiked club with both hands.
This roar was both a battle cry and a call for other nearby Ravagers to come over.
This strike had an imposing momentum. If it were ordinary humans, they might have been scared into wetting their pants with this one hit.
"Bam!"
Thin Dog, who bore the brunt of the attack, silently chanted in his heart: "It's just a game, I'm not panicking, I'm not panicking!"
With a retreating step, he narrowly dodged the Ravager's attack. The large spiked club smashed into the rocks on the ground, sending out a spray of pebbles.
Thin Dog was unscathed. He quickly raised his spiked club and took a few small steps to the side.
The other two, seizing the opportunity, each gave the Ravager a hit with their crowbars.
[hp-20]
[hp-19]
Two black physical damage numbers popped out from the Ravager's head, and its health bar dropped slightly.
Thin Dog did not attack. His spiked club was too clumsy, and if he struck, he would likely also be hit by the Ravager.
"Come on! Circle around with me!"
There will be another chapter later.
