"Skill" is the point, "skill" is the line, and "talent" is the surface.
Regarding the scope of action among these three, it is probably the relationship described above~
And if we want to distinguish it from the "method of effect"... maybe "skills" and "talent" are similar to the so-called "passive skills" in other games, right?
Of course, in "Invincible Heroes: World of War", the differences and connections between the three are not so superficial, and even include a linear relationship between giving birth and being birthed!
In the system settings, the biggest advantage of "young people" is that they "learn everything quickly"! They can actively or passively learn all kinds of knowledge, and even "skills" that can be used directly!
The physical strength of "middle-aged people" reaches its peak, which is actually the stage when individuals are most suitable for combat, and their physical strength fully blooms...
According to this logic, the decline in physical combat power of "elderly people" is foreseeable. But isn't "long years" a kind of capital? After the baptism of time, the elderly have accumulated a lot of experience in their lives.
Experience, coupled with the degradation of physical strength, the proportion of intelligence in personal strength has increased...
So at this stage, the system rewards this group for being able to more effectively summarize the essence of life, and then effectively enrich their "skills" panel, and in some form make up for the decline in strength caused by physical decline...
…
Players' understanding of all this is not very deep at this stage, but what does Liu Yifei, an old monster who has been "hard training" for ten years, not understand?
In fact, the game is currently in the "novice stage". The main plots of each race are slowly brewing. The overall continental pattern has been peaceful for a long time. The internal environment of each race is relatively peaceful. It is suitable for "young people" to become familiar with, explore and devote their energy to it.
The stage of trying to "learn".
But for professional players whose gameplay is more logistical... In fact, the age group that is most suitable for their performance should be "elderly"... After all, it is like "old tailor", "old chef", "old Chinese medicine doctor" and so on.
Once you hear it, you will feel rich in experience, skilled in craftsmanship, and reassuring, right?
The concentration of the essence of a lifetime has catalyzed various skills that are much more superb than those of young boys. This is exactly the hidden advantage of "old people"!
"Investigation" is naturally a craft!
And because it does not provide "immediate combat power", at the current stage, the player group is not very interested in this auxiliary type of skills or the skills themselves. Many people even think that even if they want to learn related skills,
Yes, can't we just wait until we find a suitable "skilled NPC" in the future and wait for tutoring? Why bother groping for it on your own?
Don't you know that thoughts like this are doomed that these players will most likely never come into contact with relevant "cutting-edge skills" - after all, even if the army wants to select "reconnaissance leaders", it will only look for those who have made achievements in related fields.
Isn’t it a “specialty”?
They have certain advantages themselves, and then they are selected by the army and undergo a higher level of intensive training and even instruction. Only in this way can they truly become a "scout trainer", and those who want to sit back and enjoy the success...
Well, there is always a shortage of infantry cannon fodder weavers~~~
Liu Yifei knew all the above in detail, but the difficulty was that he seemed to have no way to solve it internally.
He is a second-hand swordsman himself. In a royal capital like Standwick, if he wants to show his skills in front of the dark forces at the bottom who are really licking the blood of the sword, he is still a step behind the boss... In addition, he does know a few things.
The famous "scout" in the future...
But who knows if they have learned the "craft" in the future?!
So no matter what, Liu Yifei finally had no choice but to cooperate with Tang Zhenting~
After all, they have a lot of "veterans" in their hands. No matter how demanding Liu Yifei is, it should be possible to pick out a few suitable ones, right? It's really not possible...it's not like we can't consider those who are a little younger!
After receiving Liu Yifei's request, Tang Zhenting, who was actively seeking cooperation, was actually a little dumbfounded - those who were "recruiting" these days only heard that they wanted some "fresh troops", and he wished that his subordinates were energetic enough to work overtime~ This
It's a good position... you actually asked for a man over forty years old in order to take the exam?
Don't you know that Liu Yifei specifically made such a request for his own consideration: it is hard to say whether he will be able to find suitable scouts in the team in the future. In the foreseeable future, Liu Yifei may have to borrow someone from Tang Zhenting every time he needs a scout.
~
Spending money is still a trivial matter, but Liu Yifei is only afraid that the strength of the loanees will not keep up with his own rapidly improving technical requirements... So, Liu Yifei was thinking about whether he could bring in a few people in their 40s and above.
"Old people", we don't count on them in terms of combat effectiveness, but I hope that with the help of system settings, the opponent's skills in "reconnaissance" specialization can be improved quickly, so as to avoid the time of high-demand battles in the future.
The other party dropped the ball at a critical link...
In order for Tang Zhenting to help as much as possible, Liu Yifei even formally signed a commercial employment agreement with the other party, which means that when the other party borrows "professional talents" at the right time, Liu Yifei will enjoy certain "priority rights"...
However, Liu Yifei's serious behavior not only did not displease Tang Zhenting, but made him secretly happy, feeling that he had an extra stable relationship with "Geralt"!
You must know that the current situation of the "Zhenguo Guild" is not a matter of seconds. Due to its own weakness in publicity and marketing, the guild has always had a weak development momentum. In the past two years, it has even begun to lose its user base, and even profit avenues such as advertising and endorsements have been lost.
It's been off for a while.
However, Tang Zhenting was very ambitious and wanted to take care of the lives of some veterans, even the orphans of martyrs... In short, both the guild and himself were facing a lot of financial pressure.
Wasn't the reason why they urged Geralt to join their guild earlier because he was a "newcomer" who was extremely powerful, young and seemed to have no guild foundation?
If we don't absorb such "talents", do we still have to watch them fall into the hands of other guilds?
But what Tang Zhenting didn't expect was... these days, among the "professional players" who play large-scale online games, there are actually some who are keen on running solo gangs?!
You must know that whether you join a guild or a professional studio, it means that you will naturally gain a large number of customers. Professional studios will also need to pay fees and so on. Professional players who are invited to join by big guilds, even those in the guild
management personnel!
But not only did Geralt reject the invitation from their Zhenguo Guild, it was said that even people outside the country spread rumors that their president's invitation to "Geralt" was unsuccessful... I don't know what this kid was thinking... After all, it's a professional player.
Is there still too much money that you don’t want to make?
This time it was even more amazing. As a professional player, "Geralt" actually wanted to establish a long-term employment relationship with their Zhenguo Guild...
Although the situation is a bit strange, Tang Zhenting must ensure the smooth progress of the cooperation no matter what!
For this reason, Tang Zhenting spent a lot of effort yesterday to select suitable targets within his guild. No, he finally picked out the "Dream Seeker" - a soldier who had been a soldier for seven years.
Experience, including serving as the reconnaissance platoon leader for three years. Later, he was honorably retired because he was injured during rescue and disaster relief...
Later, I joined the "Zhenguo Guild", but because of the "unmatched skills", there was no way to be promoted in the team. I could only work as a "coolie" in the "core group". Not long ago, I joined the president of my own company.
Come here to open up wasteland in a new game. My actual age is 38...
Since I wasn’t interested in the “age” on the character panel in the game, I didn’t change it when I created the character. It was the best candidate I could find that met Geralt’s requirements...
"Zhenguo·Dream Seeker" is a relatively orthodox retired soldier. His personality is not as lively as that of young people. After briefly introducing himself, he was speechless~
Although other people in the team were extremely curious about the "foreign aid" that suddenly appeared on the account, Liu Yifei believed more in the principle of "seeing the real tricks under your hands" - the game "Invincible Heroes: World of War" is not the idol-style game it used to be.
, a simple game with an entertainment style, no matter how awesome you are? Anyway, I walked around the sewer twice in a while, and I can’t even pretend to be capable. I’m really sure of a long-term and stable cooperative relationship, and there will be more of them in the team in the future.
It’s an opportunity to connect with each other, don’t rush at this moment~
Finally, the team is assembled, everyone joins the group, and enters the plot of the royal capital!
A few days of "dark operations" have made everyone in the team extremely familiar with the process. After entering the plot, the first step is to go to the guard station to "change clothes" - since the plot was developed by Liu Yifei himself, the real plot is
He is the only one with a reasonable and legal identity, so first of all, other players who enter the plot together have to solve the problem of "starting equipment"!
Do you still remember when Liu Yifei helped Born for War to do the plot mission of killing wolves and collecting herbs? He entered the plot together, but could only "seize" the identity of a villager as a hunter, and even the starting weapon in his hand was only a pitchfork...
…
That time when he helped Lengfeng Crossing the border to do the follow-up plot of "Border Suspense", when he and Weizhansheng returned from the wild to the village where Lengfeng Crossing was located, they almost starved to death because they had no supplies and were severely lacking in physical strength at the beginning.
field!
The system allows players with plots to call in external assistance to complete tasks within a certain limit, but at the same time plot players must also bear more hidden expenses - as assistants for temporary foreign aid, players may even have nothing but rags.
Not even a pair of shoes!!
Thanks to Liu Yifei's current "high position" and even a serious job as a "squadron leader" in the royal capital, many difficult things have become smooth sailing - especially this guy who knocked on the door a while ago.
There is a lot of cheating, and they openly accept "black gold" from surrounding merchants, and even their own financial resources are enough to equip everyone with some basic equipment!
All these equipments are usually kept temporarily in the guardhouse. Recently, Liu Yifei and the others entered the plot at night, changed the equipment and props in the guardhouse, and then went into the sewers to play the extremely crazy "Midnight Battle Royale"...
And today, everyone discovered that their opponent’s past “craziness” was obviously not all about him!
As for the "Dream Seeker" who had just joined the team as a "foreign aid" today, Liu Yifei actually tied several bags of kerosene on his body while dressing him up! He even tied a small one on his chest without hesitation.
The platoon looks similar to mine (anti) tubes!!
Seeing these dangerous items on his body, the dream seeker was stunned on the spot~
Doesn't this mean that he is needed to contribute his reconnaissance skills and provide support as the leader of the team?
Can……
Why does it feel like he has been tricked into doing "human (defense) and flesh (defense) bombs (anti) bombs"? Geralt wants to carry out a terrorist (defense) attack in the capital of Standwick.
(Defense) Attack???
"I said...Captain, are you...really fake? Did you deliberately trick a foreign aid into risking your life?"
Because of the battle, I was so full of questions that I couldn't bear it anymore. My eyelids were twitching as I looked at the guy tied to the Dream Seeker, and finally I couldn't help but jump out and ask.
"Hahahaha~ That's right! Speaking of which, this isn't the first day we've been in the sewers. Geralt, do you want to make such a big move? By the way, if you really want to be so ruthless... what about our share? Do we also have to do it?
Do you want to be armed like this?"
Cupid over there was laughing so hard that his stomach almost hurt. Especially when he looked at the middle-aged Dreamseeker, he also looked embarrassed. Obviously, he didn't expect that his "employer" would stuff so much "heat" into him.
"Weapons" is also a lawsuit on the forehead.
Regarding the questions raised by the two heartless guys in the team, Liu Yifei rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Okay~ You guys should also check your equipment carefully!
Although I still go underground today, the situation on the second floor is quite different from the first floor~
Our main opponents this time are the gangsters, black traders or armed gangs whose origins are unknown who lurk in the darkness and control various smuggling channels in Standwick.
The relationship behind these guys is complicated, and it is difficult to determine their own positions. It is not uncommon for cultists to appear among them!
I'm afraid it's hard to put into words how they feel about us, and it's not unusual for some of them to come out and yell at us.
Do you still remember the request I made to you? In this plot, casual death and elimination are not allowed.
But with today’s situation, I’m afraid we have to prepare for the worst! And if something unexpected happens then... Brother Dream Seeker, I’ll have to sacrifice you to end the family for everyone.
~
But don’t worry, I won’t use this trump card of yours easily! But if something unexpected happens... Don’t worry, I will definitely provide you with pensions and other things!!”
What Liu Yifei said was serious, but Dream Seeker's mouth twitched when he heard it——
[I’m talking about boss! Anyway, it’s just a matter of returning to the city after dying in the game. We are soldiers, so why don’t we just stop using words like “pension”? This sounds very unlucky!!!]
