Chapter 1534 Bearing its Load
Cordoba has many problems.
At least judging from the recent games in which he was smashed into scrap metal, this guy has at least 100 to 80 problems. In short, he is full of holes and a mess.
There is a story. Before Cordoba was forced into the arena by Rubi and replaced those champions as the goalkeeper from the fourth level to the fifth level, no one expected that he would be so good. Not resistant to beatings.
After all, according to Comrade Corvo's consistent style of painting in the game, it is basically taking action = the dust has settled. He has always bullied others, and others have basically never bullied him. As a result, he has been fighting in the past few days. After coming down, the doors on the fourth and fifth levels were not able to be defended once, and each time they were smashed to pieces. In the most serious case, there were only a few pieces of the debris larger than the size of a palm.
It has to be said that this result shocked even Cordoba himself, let alone Mo Tan and others.
In Mo Tan’s view, Cordoba’s strength was limited in the previous game, and the ‘sparring’ in which he almost crushed the opponent did not actually mean anything, because he knew very well that in this kind of mental virtual game The impact of uncoordinated physical abilities is actually very large. At least six out of ten people will be unable to exert their original strength.
And among the remaining four, there are three characters: 'Hei Fan', 'Tan Mo' and 'Mo', as well as God knows which talented fierce man.
In fact, in the early stages of the game, when the gap between the character panels of the three characters gradually widened, even Mo Tan himself was very uncomfortable with it, not to mention 'Hei Fan', who was relatively mediocre in all aspects. At least 'Tan Mo', who is known for his dexterity and speed, and 'Mo', who is known for his strength and physique, have a strong sense of separation from the other two characters.
To give a simple example, it’s like you were able to carry a cauldron when you got up in the morning. However, when you had lunch at lunch, your original natural power suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a pair of flying legs. What about before going to bed at night? It’s the same as nothing.
Normal people may not be able to live a normal life if they are caught off guard and faced with this situation. Although there is a system in the game to help balance and assist, it is absolutely impossible to use your full strength in the battle. Tan.
So Mo Tan felt that it was difficult for Cordoba to adapt to his new panel at first. It was completely normal for him to be beaten by him. As long as he was given a little time, he could still show that he was at least normal. Level of strength.
That’s what he said at the time, and Cordoba also heard it. However, the reality turned out to be so painful that it could almost kill people. Ruvi lifted the restrictions and returned to Cordoba’s best condition. Dova's performance in the arena is simply beyond words.
To sum it up in simpler terms - it’s a complete mess.
Yes, it was a complete mess. In the first battle, the [War Bear] Garcia player who qualified for promotion took less than two minutes to defeat him in terms of strength, speed, and... Cordoba, which has a stable and epic level of anti-strike ability, has been dismantled into parts, and in view of the He regarded the latter as a mindless engineering creation, and his methods were so cruel that Cordoba, who had turned off the 'Minor Sensory Protection System', was forcibly disconnected by the system after the game. It took a full half hour...that is, a quarter of an hour in real time to log back into the game.
However, Cordoba also showed amazing perseverance. Although he endured an extremely painful (for him) battle, he did not try to give up as everyone imagined, but was transferred to The other [mass-produced rune body] teleported back to the first outer mountain without saying a word, waiting for his next challenge with a fearless attitude.
He did not wait for long. After about an hour, a lizardman warlock who was accomplished in the fields of alchemy and engineering stood out and gained the right to advance with fifty consecutive victories. Cordoba also naturally once again stood in the center of the fourth-level arena as a 'tester'.
Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, Ya Ya and Jadeka were all watching the match. Although Cordoba lasted for nearly fifteen minutes this time, the scene was even worse than the previous match with Garcia. To make matters worse, not only was he caught in the rush of engineering artifacts and showered with various alchemy tools, but he was also suppressed to the other side of the arena by two large hellfires, and was finally blown up. When he lost, the opponent's figure was almost invisible, and the loss was extremely humiliating.
After that, as if under some kind of strange spell, Cordoba was tortured by various players for three days, and he became something like a point-giving boy. This kind of thing has recommended at least 60 people to successfully advance to the fifth level arena.
Under normal circumstances, there may not be so many people promoted in the first half of the year.
Of course, those who picked up Cordoba at a bargain price did not have an easy time in the fifth-level field. Except for people with real strength like Garcia, most of the people he sent up were in a short period of time. After twenty consecutive losses, he fell back to the fourth level. As for the remaining ones, the possibility of accumulating 100 defeats before 100 wins is more than 90%, so in general, in addition to giving some achievements to the big players in the fifth level Almost no impact.
To sum up, those lucky people who advanced experienced the atmosphere of the fifth-level field and got at least 20 game handicap bonuses, which was not a loss.
And the five-level bosses who matched those lucky ones won a lot of games for nothing, easily got a lot of bonuses and dividends, and made a lot of money.
The audience, who rarely sees a one-sided situation, can enjoy it and not be slapped in the face frequently because of insufficient skill, so happy.
Only Cordoba’s injured world was achieved.
In these three days, Cordoba's mood also changed to some extent.
First of all, on the positive side, his originally rather inflated and arrogant mentality has completely collapsed, and his so-called 'master's dignity' has been shattered to pieces. His spirit has become stronger and tougher, and he has gradually adapted. A world without 'minor sensory protection'.
The first few points are easy to say, but the last point is just a literal meaning. After all, the negative sensory weakening originally provided by the system is already powerful enough, and Cordoba is not one of those outside the game who wanted to take advantage of it more than 20 years ago. [DATA EXPUNGED], who had to post more than 300 Weibo messages when he was out of skin, and wished he could be hospitalized for a year and a half, is not a hypocritical person. After being abused for a few times, he naturally became accustomed to suffering.
And there are naturally not many negative contents. For example, Cordoba's self-confidence is slipping from one extreme to another, and there is even a kind of "I just don't have talent, I am simply a person". The pessimism of "waste", and the original enthusiasm for "special training" gradually cooled down after repeated fruitless failures, and even slowly fell to the freezing point.
Losing is not terrible. What is terrible is that you don’t even know how you lost.
You must know that although the [mass-produced rune body] Luvi gave to Cordoba is a bit ugly and has a shorter battery life, its strength is not inferior to the genuine prototype as a prototype. Even if it is fully used, it can still complete the task. He couldn't finish any battle that lasted no longer than one session, not to mention that there would be no games that would allow him to run at full capacity throughout.
But the problem now is that even if the power of the rune body can be sustained, Cordoba himself cannot. In fact, in most cases, he still has 100% energy reserve left. He was beaten when he was over fifty.
He didn't feel that he was making progress at all, he just repeated the process of "starting the fight in a daze, losing in a daze", and sometimes he even felt that he was getting better and better.
Although Cordoba concealed himself very well and neither Ji Xiaoge nor Jadeka saw anything wrong with him, Mo Tan was keenly aware that his good friend was The mental level is already in a very dangerous state, and major problems may occur at any time.
In his opinion, the reason why Cordoba is still persisting is probably because he has promised everyone that he will appear in the [Inquisition Controversy], so he realizes his 'weakness' Finally, I desperately wanted to become stronger.
Whether it’s Cui Xiaoyu in reality or Cordoba in the game, although their personalities are a bit rough and not very face-friendly, they still have their own self-esteem. It is precisely because of this self-esteem that he became Now it looks the same as usual, but in fact it looks a little sick. As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Cordoba has been the second person in [Innocence Boundary] since the day the rankings were released. He is a powerful player in the game and is always highly discussed. Dude, the pressure I am under at this moment is much greater than it seems at first glance.
This kind of pressure is normal. In major game clubs, there are even dedicated psychological teams to provide psychological services to members with various qualifications and low experience, but who have attracted much attention. Counseling, even Xinglong once had a period in the past when he was out of breath due to this kind of pressure.
Looking back now, Xinglong, who has become a big brother in the gaming industry, has naturally survived, and even completed countless transformations in the process.
But Cordoba is not an awakening dragon. This pressure, which is not too strong in the eyes of professional players, is likely to directly destroy him, and the probability of 'breaking and standing' will happen. It's really too low, and most people just break it and never stand up again.
Mo Tan, who saw this problem, didn't want this to happen, so he found Lu Wei a day ago and pointed out the situation bluntly, hoping to temper Cordoba in another way.
The reason given by Mo Tan is very sufficient and very real, that is, let a person with almost no combat experience (numerical crushing does not count as combat experience) suddenly fight with a group of experienced warriors, unless there is A miracle happens, otherwise the possibility of being beaten to autism is far higher than the possibility of rapid progress.
To give a simple example, if you ask a 71 kg ordinary adult male to compete in the 71 kg class of the World MMA Championship (World MMA Championship: World Mixed Martial Arts Championship) for 100 games, he will become an excellent fighter. The probability is at most 1%, but the probability of him being killed is ridiculously high.
To give an exaggerated example, many people can do "100 push-ups a day, 100 sit-ups a day, 100 squats, run ten kilometers a day and not turn on the air conditioner in the summer", but in The only person who insists on being able to give the earth a middle part with one punch in a few years is just a bald person, and he is still a character in a comic book.
So based on the above reasons, Motan protested against Lu Wei, believing that if this continues, unless a miracle happens, not only will Cordoba not become stronger, but it will most likely even collapse.
But Lu Wei rejected him without hesitation.
“Don’t underestimate the old man’s experience and experience.”
Master Lu, who was fiddling with the mass-produced rune body assembly line at that time, didn’t even look back, but said lightly: “I admit you You're right, kid, but you have to know that Cordoba's existence itself is a miracle."
Mo Tan was confused at the time and reacted for a while before helplessly saying: "No, no, no. , Master Luwei, you have to understand that the reason why Cordoba woke up on your creation is just because he..."
"I know your theory about people from other worlds, and I also know that you What I want to express.”
Lu Wei raised his hand impatiently and interrupted him, saying calmly: "But you still can't deny that this is a miracle, can't you? Do you know how many rune bodies were about to be destroyed in the workshop at that time? Why are there only Did Cordoba successfully 'wake up'?"
"This..."
"I'll be honest, I believe in that kid, so unless he gives up voluntarily, I will You will only give him special training at your own pace. You are a genius. It’s true that Qi Zhiguang, but you are just an outsider after all. It’s true that Cordoba is an outsider like you, but after all, I gave him a body, so he can be considered half of my creation. Do you understand? ?"
"What do you mean? "Really?"
"If you have any opinions, you can make changes. The special training plan can be changed, but he has to come to me and say that he can't hold on anymore and can't stand it anymore. Otherwise, don't say it's you, little pigeon." It’s useless.”
"Okay, then the last question..."
"Say."
"You must have enough reasons to believe him so much, right?"
"Probably."
……
"Huh~"
Shaked his head and waved away the scene in Luwei's workshop yesterday. He did not convey the conversation between the two to Cordoba. Mo Tan stood up and walked slowly. Seeing the former, he patted him hard on the shoulder: "Come on for the game."
"Ha... I'll try my best."
A message popped up on Cordoba's monitor (=.=), and then stood up, turned around and walked towards the aisle leading to the ring, and said without looking back: "Try not to be crushed as soon as you get up."
Mo Tan hesitated for a moment, and finally added before Cordoba left his sight: "Your opponent for a moment should be the weakest in the past few days."
Click.
Cordoba paused for a moment, but in the end he said nothing or looked back. He just waved his hand casually and walked away with his Punisher's Staff.
