Chapter 239 Chapter 236 PUA Technique
Zhuang Xuteng immediately became interested when he heard that he could also make a person survive with just his head - at least it was better than dying directly. He hurriedly asked: "If you know this will-o'-the-wisp lich spell, can you make the otter's head survive without relying on the shadow slave device?"
"Ha, just because I can do it doesn't mean you can do it. There is only one chance to go from life to death, so there is only one chance to become an undead creature. After that, except for a few special cases, you can change the type of undead creature. Everything else will only lead to one result: annihilation." Master Lich said: "The key to whether it can change its form is how much life remains in it. The longer it takes to become an undead creature, the less likely it will be.
"There is a prerequisite for me to do this, and that is that the mana at the time is strong enough, not to mention you. Once you have accumulated enough vengeful energy and mana, that time will be enough to eliminate your friend's chance of transforming into the undead. You can’t wait for the need to develop your mana, you can only prepare your mana and wait for it to be used when it is needed.”
Zhuang Xuteng was stunned for a moment: "Brother Dao also said the same thing just now."
The Lich Master chuckled twice and said: "This is the simplest truth that everyone should know. You are the least interested in spell practice among all the people I know well. If not, I can only be with you. , I won’t care about you at all, understand?”
"There is no need to say this about me, I will not be affected by such words - I know the actual situation." Zhuang Xuteng snorted, refused PUA, and said: "Of all the people you know, I am the one with the most difficulty in practicing spells. Every day Every spell and every mana cultivation technique needs to be transformed, and many of them need to be re-explored. So far, except for the magic circle that absorbs resentment, no other effect can compare with your claim."
"This is indeed true. Your world is indeed different from my world." Master Lich said.
"However, I don't put all my energy into training spells. Regardless of time or intensity, I invest more in super-computing martial arts, which is also a fact." Zhuang Xuteng thought it would be better to change the topic, so he said: "Today I I met a very interesting guy in the battle. He can launch clones and fight. The main body and clones can transform into each other. "
"Oh? It sounds like a spirit walking. Please describe it to me in detail."
After listening to Zhuang Xuteng's explanation, Master Lich pondered for a while. "This spell is very unusual. If I want to achieve the same effect, I need to use four intermediate spells from different factions at the same time. Unless...unless I specially configure a high-level spell to mix these spells together."
Zhuang Xuteng tilted his head and asked, "So, that person is very strong?"
"It's not that that person is very strong. If he is strong, why can't he defeat you?" Master Lich shook his head and said: "His spell is good, that's all. If according to my standards, the spell he used is complex enough, But it lacks intensity and skill. He should at least launch the clone directly into you and then get out of your body..."
"What! So cruel?" Zhuang Xuteng was shocked and asked: "You still use 'at least'? What should you do if it is 'at most'?"
"Let the clone chase you with explosives." The Lich Master stared at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "What, do you think what I said is wrong? If you had practiced the Wraith Servant well, you could have even asked the servant to use bone. Spear skills! Forget it, I don’t expect you to make much achievements in magic. I’ll thank you if you don’t absorb more intelligence.”
Zhuang Xuteng pinched his nose and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He reluctantly made an excuse, saying that he hadn't mastered the super-computing martial arts yet and it took up a lot of time.
"Martial skills are the same as your body. They are just basic and determine your lower limit. Only spells can increase your upper limit." Master Lich said: "You don't have so many shadow slave implants, nor do you have huge power. The rest It's just magic. Even if you have mastered super-computer martial arts to be stronger than the Stranger from Famine, you are still just a powerful mercenary."
"Okay, what you said makes sense. I should practice more spells." Just having desire and determination is not enough. You have to solve practical difficulties to make progress. "In order to make the Deer Hunter device work properly, I had to consume a lot of mana. Master Lich, what exactly did you do to that system? Can you cancel it so that I can reserve more mana for my spell practice?"
"Your super-computing martial arts has a threshold in the fourth flash, and it takes a lot of effort to get over it - of course you use tricks and it's not that strenuous. My spells also have some hurdles, and you have to work harder." Master Lich said: "Zhuang Xuteng , if you can't cross it, then you can't cross it, and I won't look down on you because of it. Anyway, I just need you to live and give me a roof over your head, and I don't want anything more from you..."
This is so infuriating, and the psychological trauma it causes cannot be healed by simply saying "I won't be PUAd by you."
"I've eaten the provocation method!" Zhuang Xuteng raised his middle finger towards the Lich Master and said, "Isn't it just a spell? How can I practice it well? Your spells are not necessarily as difficult as super calculation martial arts! Hmph!"
After saying that, he left the 72 Stone Pillar Hall without even sleeping! Meditation mana! Practice your magic skills!
On the throne, Master Lich looked at his middle finger and quickly understood the meaning of this gesture. He shook his head, feeling that this insult was just a child's tantrum. He had long abandoned his former body, had already weighed the costs and gains, and made a rational choice. Naturally, he would not be emotional about being given the middle finger by Zhuang Xuteng today.
"So far, you are still my best choice." The Lich Master pointed his finger in the air, and the black mist rose in front of him. After a while, it condensed into a human form, and then the face of Hill Lee appeared.
The eyes formed by the black mist slowly opened. Li Xier rolled his eyes to adapt. After seeing the Lich Master clearly, he lowered his head respectfully and said, "Master, what are your instructions for summoning me again?"
"Retell the magic circle and report the conversion situation."
Li Xier nodded and began to recite a long string of talismans quickly and mechanically. The Lich Master listened and pointed out four of the errors.
"There are only 40,000 runes in the entire arrangement, and I still can't get them all correct. You are beginning to disappoint me." Master Lich said, "I helped you climb higher and let you master more resources, but I forgot Your essence will not be improved as a result. You have one last chance, which is to complete the space transformation of these runes and allow them to operate with the shadow energy. If you cannot complete it, I will never do it again. I need you."
"Please give me more time. I don't understand these runes, so I can only memorize them by rote. If I could..."
"It all starts with rote memorization, just like a baby learning a language." Master Lich said: "Before understanding the meaning of the first word, the process of observation and accumulation into memory is all rote memorization. Now this test is just But if you can reach the level of an adult, you can move on to the next level. No, it’s just being eliminated, and I won’t look down on you because of it.”
"I will never let you down!" Li Xier gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to show respect.
The Lich Master waved his hand and dispersed Hill Lee's black fog projection. This move consumed a lot of mana, thanks to Zhuang Xuteng's continuous efforts. That stupid boy didn't know that it actually didn't require that much mana to maintain the Deer Hunter device, and a lot of the mana he had accumulated through previous practice had been taken away by the Lich Master. Hmm... maybe you can't think of him as stupid, maybe he knows, maybe it's just a vague feeling. In fact, in the field of mana cultivation, even if Zhuang Xuteng is not a genius, he is still above the average level of spell casters.
"Of course you are not that bad. After all, you sucked away my intelligence." Master Lich stared at the boundless black mist outside the hall and said slowly.
At this time, Zhuang Xuteng was pressurizing himself, increasing his training volume, and condensing mana according to the method given by the Lich Master. The Lich Master's "secret little move" caused his mana to drop instantly, almost interrupting the process of condensation.
"It's this situation again... What's the problem?" Zhuang Xuteng first looked for the cause within himself, "Did you just lose your mind? Huh... it's really difficult to concentrate completely. No one's brain can prevent new ideas from appearing again, right? This distracting thought... Oh, maybe it would be enough to become a skeleton or a lich. Undead creatures have almost no emotional fluctuations. No, I am still the same as now. It's hard to work harder, but becoming an undead creature is too much. It’s fun. So many distractions... focus!”
Zhuang Xuteng experienced too many things on this day. He met the drug-addled Bekbechi brothers and sisters, received a huge blow from the otter's head, had a fight with a senior cadre of the Blood Bat Gang, and accompanied Brother Dao to grieve...all these things were put together, and Zhuang Xuteng's head was of course Will be filled with emotions.
Under such circumstances, he was still able to practice magic, which fully proved his efforts in controlling emotions and his talent in magic. He had the disadvantage of not having any classmates to practice with him, unable to make comparisons, and also had to face the old monster Lich Master, who was often belittled by him, so he felt disappointed in himself.
He practiced for a while and then the phone rang. Zhuang Xuteng set up Do Not Disturb mode, and few people could make their phones ring in the middle of the night. He quickly stopped practicing and answered the phone, Lucy's voice floated out from inside.
"They came back safely." Lucy's words made Zhuang Xuteng breathe a sigh of relief, but her next words made him take the breath back again. "I arranged for them to live outside and observe them for a period of time. The client asked some questions, which felt like questioning whether they had opened the box. I asked them to prepare answers in advance, but I didn't know if they could get through it."
"You put them outside to use them as bait?"
"Bait? No, I don't want to fish, I just want to be safe and isolated. Of course I hope they are safe, just like I hope you are safe too." Lucy said: "It's past midnight now, I miss you It should be enough to sleep until noon. Come over in the afternoon, I have a task for you. "
