Ever since Qi Ge proposed the concept of "action rate", the three speed legends have entered a crazy discussion mode.
From time to time, you can see the three heroes racing in the God's Chosen City with their respective troops.
Even the gray-haired old lady Seri seemed to have regained her youth, catching and beating all kinds of wild monsters in the wild monster area all day long.
Qi Ge also followed them everywhere to conduct research and participated in the whole process.
The three legendary bosses continued to carefully observe the movement of troops and the combat process in the battle space, and even personally participated in the battle to perceive and experience it.
They seemed to have forgotten their identities as legendary heroes, controlling their own strength and cautiously and carefully experiencing every process of fighting in the battle space.
However, adding a new attribute to a type of soldier is easier said than done.
No matter how powerful a legendary hero is, he is still just a mortal, and the attributes of the troops are determined by the rules set by the Mother Goddess.
Any slight change to the attributes of a type of soldier is a breakthrough in the rules of the Mother Goddess and a change in the original rules of the Yasa world.
They used their mortal bodies to recast the rules of the gods and forge the foundations of the world.
Therefore, a whole week passed and the three of them still hadn't found a way forward.
But they did not gain nothing.
In the process of re-experiencing the battle by incarnating as soldiers, they discovered that the speed rules were indeed imperfect, but they did not yet have a clear understanding of where exactly this imperfection was and in what form it was manifested.
…
"Roar!!" The last group of red dragons were pierced by Sir Mlak's spear, and the hot and bright red dragon blood gushed out.
As the red dragon slowly fell, the battle space gradually shrank.
After exiting combat mode, Sir Mlak and Trok discussed what they had gained from the battle.
But at this time, Seri did not join their discussion as usual, but stood there holding the magic book blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
Soon, Mlak, Trock and Qige all noticed Seri's condition.
Mlak said with emotion:
“Your Majesty Sere may have made another gain.
Obviously her health is the worst among the three of us, but she has spent the longest time on research during this period of time."
Qi Ge agrees:
"yes.
I have forest moss in my territory. After eating it, I only need to sleep for one hour a day.
His Majesty Seri has an insomnia potion that will keep you from feeling sleepy for six hours after drinking it.
During this period, she took Sen Moss and Insomnia Potion alternately. She hadn't slept for a week and had been doing research all the time.
The last time I went to visit Her Majesty Seri with Smith, I found that there were already more than thirty thick volumes of research records in her room."
Trok sighed and said:
“It’s no wonder.
I also met Her Majesty Ceri when I was young and received a lot of help from her.
If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the legendary level so quickly.
Her Majesty Ceri, her research on the rules of speed is actually deeper than ours. She just lacks a little luck and has never found the direction, so she has wasted time until now.
Having come this far, who wouldn’t want to break through to become a demigod?
Her Majesty Ceri is already very old, and for her, this research may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
As Trok finished speaking, Ceri suddenly put the magic book away with a bang.
She was leaning on her crutches and knocked the ground three times in excitement.
“I figured it out, I finally figured it out!
So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is!”
Qi Ge and others hurried to Seri's side and asked:
"Your Majesty, have you found anything?"
When Sai Rui saw Qi Ge and the others, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly:
"Mlak, Trok, Qige. I have a hypothesis that I need you to help me verify."
"No problem, we will definitely do our best."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. I will do my best to protect you."
"Grandma, I'm here, just give me your orders."
The three men from Qige quickly expressed their opinions.
Ceri nodded and used his cane to draw a grid map of the battle space in the sand.
She pointed to the map and said:
“How to make the speed of a unit affect the number of actions it takes is the core issue that has been bothering us.
After this period of experience, we have realized that we are always a little short of the mark and can never find a way to break through.
But the battle just now made me realize that the reason why we are always a little short of the mark is because our research direction has always been wrong.
Our research up to now has actually been going around in circles and we have never been able to jump out.”
"Wrong?"
Mlak frowned and asked:
"What do you mean?"
"Look."
Ceri used magic to summon a fairy illusion on the sand table she made.
She pointed her finger and the fairy began to move on the sand table.
Seri said:
"The goblin's speed is 4, and he can move 4 spaces per turn.
After I gave the goblin attack acceleration, its speed became 19, and it could move 19 squares per turn.
What does the fairy's speed represent here?
Look.”
With a wave of her hand, Seri's grid drawn on the ground gradually faded and disappeared, replaced by an iron man who was very far away from the fairy.
The fairy took a step forward and kept moving closer to the iron man.
“That’s our concept of speed.
In the rules of our world, the concept of "speed" is used to describe the distance a unit can move.
There is a crucial point here, and that is relativity.”
Ceri waved his hand, and this time even the Iron Man disappeared.
The goblin was suspended in mid-air, constantly stepping on the spot.
“The speed of a type of military force must have a relative target.
In the battle space, the speed is the distance it moves relative to the [fixed battle space]. The Mother Goddess uses a hexagonal grid to clearly display this movement process in front of us.
But if the combat space is lost and there are no reference points around, the movement of the troops will become meaningless.
In other words, the speed of each type of troops is a relative speed.
The number of actions a soldier can take in one round is not relative, but absolute.
The reference for the number of actions of a type of military force is not space, but the time of the type of military force itself.
I will temporarily call it [absolute speed].
Any research we do on [relative speed] will not affect [absolute speed].
Yes, each type of soldier should have an [absolute speed].
[Relative Speed] affects the movement range of the soldiers.
[Absolute Speed] controls the time required between two actions of a type of soldier.
This is the direction in which we should conduct research.”
After hearing what Seri said, Mlak clenched his fists and suddenly realized:
"I see!
Relative speed corresponds to speed in space, while absolute speed corresponds to speed in time.
Speed ​​is not one concept, but two.
The speed in time and the speed in space influence each other but are relatively independent.
Wonderful, wonderful! "
Turlock was ecstatic:
"I get it, I get it. It's so simple.
Absolute speed is generated by the unit itself, does not interact with space or other units, and is only relative to time. "
Qi Ge: ???
Do you understand now? What do you understand?
What's going on? It doesn't make sense. Why don't I understand?
Qi Ge saw that the three legends were getting more and more excited as they discussed, and Trok even started dancing.
He could only stand aside, as if listening to a foreign language.
Gradually, Qi Ge finally understood some of it.
"This should be an intrinsic attribute of a type of soldier, independent of speed.
Perhaps we should give it a new name to distinguish it from speed."
"How about just calling it absolute speed?"
"Wouldn't it be too easy to confuse it with relative speed? Or should we call it velocity?"
"The speed isn't quite right either. Absolute speed is derived from relative speed, but it goes beyond relative speed. It's not just speed and frequency."
…
Give it a name!
I don’t understand other things, but I’m good at this!
Qi Ge took a look at his mission [Extreme Speed·Infinite Motion] and became wise.
“I suggest that we simply not use the word ‘speed’ and call it ‘initiative’. How about that?
[主] represents the arms themselves, [动] represents the actions of the arms, and [性] represents [能力]. Putting them together, it is the action capability of the arms themselves.
It also means the [subjective] [initiative] of the arms. "
"Initiative, initiative..."
Seri repeated Qi Ge's words over and over again, and the more he read them, the more appropriate they seemed to him.
She smiled at Qi Ge with relief and said:
"I agree. What about you?"
"I have no objection." Mlak applauded.
"I support it." Trok owed a favor to Qi Ge, so he agreed without hesitation.
Just as the three reached a consensus, three bright lights suddenly fell from the sky and enveloped the three of them at the same time.
Mlak's face changed and he raised his hands high to block the light.
He said loudly:
"This path is not in line with my path."
Then, the column of light covering Mlak immediately split into two and merged into the bodies of Seri and Trok respectively.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Qi Ge's ears.
【System prompt: Ceri, Mlak, and Trok have all started the path to becoming demigods.
The proactive rule is born. 】
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for completing the mission [Extreme Speed·Infinite Motion]. ]
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for obtaining the specialty: Extreme Speed·Infinite Motion]. ]
[Extreme Speed ​​· Infinite Motion
Features
Effect: You and your soldiers will gain extra actions per round based on their speed.
One additional action is granted for every 10 points of speed. It cannot be triggered if the speed is less than 10 points.
The extra number of actions will take effect after all units have taken normal actions. 】
"Hiss~
10 points of speed, one extra action opportunity? !
I'm riding Shion, with a speed of 50. If a hero appears, I can move 5 extra times per turn!
My turn, still my turn, it’s always my turn, so strong! "
Qi Ge was very aware that after he acquired this specialty, his combat mode would be completely rewritten.
The attribute of speed will become extremely important to him.
The beam of light slowly disappeared and merged into Trok and Seri's bodies.
Then, under the surprised gaze of Qi Ge, countless colorful clouds fell from the sky and turned into colorful rainbows like a dream, forming a breathtaking rainbow steps leading to the distant sky.
These clouds transform into various patterns with different colors, shapes and sizes. Some are as gentle as drizzle, some are as majestic as huge waves, some dance like birds, and some smile like flowers. They are intertwined together to form a series of colorful pictures.
The beginning of becoming a demigod, the road to heaven!
Seri opened her eyes, raised her foot, and took a step forward.
Her appearance became visibly younger, her white hair turned black, her wrinkles disappeared, and her posture became much straighter.
Seri announced loudly: "I have found my path. I will spend my life perfecting the rules of initiative and testing the benefits of initiative to our Yasha world.
If the initiative rules work well against chaos, I will incorporate my rules into Yasha.
With my strength, I will make up for the deficiencies in the sky."
Trok followed Su Xing and also took a step onto the Cloud Road to Heaven.
He loudly declared:
"I have found my path. I will spend my life clarifying the relationship between speed and initiative, and studying the battle cry magic related to initiative."
The two cloud roads to heaven solidified in an instant. Then, a strong wind blew and swept the cloud roads to heaven, merging into the bodies of Seri and Trok.
The birth of two prospective demigods is a great thing for the God's Chosen City.
The aftermath of their opening of the Cloud Road to Heaven alone caused changes in the surrounding soil.
The originally ordinary mud land was suddenly covered by a light white mist, with smoke everywhere, like a fairyland.
[System prompt: Congratulations, your territory, God's Chosen City, has a special terrain: Cloud of Speed.]
[Speed ​​Cloud:
NPC soldiers who live in the speed cloud for a long time will gain a permanent increase in movement speed by +2. 】
"Hahaha!"
Mlak laughed out loud.
"Congratulations to your two Lords for realizing their true nature and reaching the level of demigods."
Immersed in the afterglow, Seri slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Qi Ge and the others:
“We also have to thank the three of you for working together and sharing selflessly.
Especially you, Seven Dove."
Seri looked at Qige gratefully, nodded to Qige, and said:
“During this period, I received very good hospitality in God’s Chosen City, which made me reluctant to leave.
Perhaps, compared to Stormwind City, this place is more suitable for me to spend my retirement.
Qi Ge, I think you don't mind if I stay with you for a while, right?"
[System prompt: Congratulations, Serri's favorability towards you has increased by 50, currently 100 (treats you as her own child)]
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for starting the [Secret Recruitment Mission of Sere] · [Improving the Initiative Rules].
“I couldn’t ask for more!”
Qi Ge was very excited and said immediately:
"Grandma, not only am I happy that you can stay, but Smit is also happy.
I promise that God's Chosen City will be your second home."
"Ha ha."
Trok also opened his eyes and said with a smile:
“Qi Ge, although I also want to stay, Krulod still needs me.
I ask you to take care of my mother first. When I can be free, I will reward you handsomely."
[System prompt: Congratulations, player. Trok's favorability towards you has increased by 50, currently 100 (stabbing in the back)]
"Don't worry, the old lady will be living a lively life here with me."
Qi Ge was laughing and was very happy.
Although Trok's recruitment mission has not yet started, his favorability has already reached 100, and he is only one rank away from being recruited.
This means that, together with Mrak, the three fastest players in the Asian Sands world are all from Qige.
Just when Qi Ge's research was in full swing, a server-wide announcement suddenly rang in Qi Ge's ears.
[Server-wide announcement: Players [Looking Up at Heaven from Hell], [I Am the Disaster], [God of the Dead], [End of the Road], and [Passerby] have successfully completed the first man-made natural wonder: The Great Tomb of Nazarick. ]
Qi Ge: Huh? Huh? ! !
