Fangzheng found that he really seemed to be incompatible with the teleportation girl.
The evidence was that he was now teleported to a place where even birds wouldn't shit.
That's right, literally.
Where the hell is this?
Walking in the forest, Fangzheng couldn't figure out where he was. If it was just a forest, then the problem was that Fangzheng found the forest to be a little strange. Logically speaking, even in winter, there would be animals in the forest. Even if most of the animals went into hibernation, there should be some signs of life.
However, there was nothing here!
Fangzheng walked in the forest for a day and a night, and he didn't encounter any animals! Even in the sky, there were no birds. For a moment, this made Fangzheng a little flustered. Is this a teleportation error? Did I get thrown into a goddamn place without any life? If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome!
The only fortunate thing was that Fangzheng found a river in the forest, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. According to Fangzheng's memory, there must be human settlements above and below the river. Although the probability was not high, it was better than wandering around in the forest. Although after the transformation, Fangzheng wasn't as hungry as when he was an ordinary human, he still had to eat. If he got lost for too long, he was afraid that he would have to gnaw on tree bark.
However, Fangzheng didn't stay idle. While he was on the road, he was also exploring the time ability he had mastered to see if he could play any tricks. After all, he wasted so much effort in the world of "Edge of Tomorrow" to get this ability. Naturally, he wouldn't use it to burn incense on the table.
Boredom was always the best motivation to stimulate research. During the time he was on the road, Fangzheng really studied some ways to use the time ability.
Teleportation!
Of course, this "teleportation" was not the kind of teleportation that traveled through space, but the kind that traveled through time. For example, if Fangzheng could run five kilometers in ten minutes, then his "Teleportation" would reduce this process to one second. In other words, when Fangzheng appeared five kilometers away in an instant, he did not pass through the barrier of space. He simply accelerated the flow of time.
Since the range of the time ability was centered around Fangzheng, as long as Fangzheng could move, he wouldn't have to worry about leaving the effective range of the ability.
However, there was another problem with this method, and that was the consumption of physical strength.
Time Warp was different from Space Warp. Space Warp connected two locations together to shorten the distance. However, Time Travel only sped up time and did not reduce the consumption. In other words, the amount of stamina Fangzheng used to run a hundred meters would be the same amount after he used time acceleration. This was not a very obvious shortcoming.
In addition, time acceleration would also increase the growth of Fangzheng's body. The price of being ten minutes faster than others was that he would age ten minutes earlier than others. Although ten minutes wasn't too conspicuous on the surface, it would add up to ten years, and it would be a different story when ten minutes turned into ten years.
Fortunately, the Zerg genes in Fangzheng's body perfectly solved this problem. Milune told him that the growth of the Zerg was a very unique cycle. When they devoured genes to strengthen themselves, their bodies would stay at the peak of this form until the next evolution. This was why the big bosses of the Zerg were more difficult to deal with. But because of the Zerg's unique mode of war, few Zergs could live for so long.
In other words, other people grew one year older every year, but for Fangzheng, he would only grow one year older every time he evolved … So no matter how many times Fangzheng used the time ability, he would not age faster than others.
Not only that, Fangzheng also discovered another aspect of the [Time Manipulation] ability, which was that the duration of time manipulation was relative to the area it covered!
Currently, Fangzheng's [Time Manipulation] was at level E, with an upper limit of ten minutes. Everything within a radius of five meters with Fangzheng as the center would be affected. But Fangzheng could increase the upper limit of time by reducing the area, or expand the area by reducing the upper limit of time. For example, if Fangzheng expanded the area of influence from ten meters to one hundred meters, the upper limit of his time manipulation would be reduced to one minute. The same was true in reverse. If Fangzheng reduced the area of influence to one meter, the upper limit of his time manipulation would be increased to twenty minutes.
In addition, Fangzheng also found a more complicated way to use it!
And this also came from his understanding of the time ability, because in [Time Manipulation], it was written that he could "manipulate time at will"!
This meant that Fangzheng could not only accelerate the flow of time, but he could also reduce or pause the flow of time!
And on this basis, Fangzheng also practiced a set of effective combat methods, which he called – Overlapping Strikes.
The whole process was actually very simple. When Fangzheng faced a target, he could choose to "Blink" and "Accelerate" the flow of time for eight minutes to "Teleport" himself to the target's side, activate "Time Pause", then "Rewind" ten seconds ago to swing his sword, then "Accelerate" for ten seconds to swing his sword again, then "Accelerate" for thirty seconds to unleash a 'Judgement', then "Accelerate" for five seconds to unleash a 'Verdict', then "Accelerate" for one minute to move away from the target.
In the eyes of an onlooker, it would be Fangzheng appearing in front of the target in the blink of an eye. Then, they would see a few flashes of sword light followed by a 'Sword of Justice' and 'Verdict' …. Then, Fangzheng would disappear and the target would die.
Unfortunately, there were no loopholes to exploit in this ability. Fangzheng could manipulate time, but he could not distort or change it. He could indeed achieve the purpose of controlling time by accelerating and decelerating, but he could not resist the process. In other words, if it took Fangzheng eight minutes to reach the target's side, when he "accelerated" to the target's side after eight minutes, he could no longer "Rewind" to two minutes ago to launch another attack. If Fangzheng did this, his body would return to the position he should have been at two minutes ago.
Similarly, if Fangzheng's strike took five seconds to hit the enemy, he wouldn't be able to retreat within those five seconds and attack again, forming an attack of five strikes in a second. If Fangzheng wanted to modify it, he could only determine that the strike wouldn't be able to hit the enemy. Then, he could retreat five seconds before launching another attack from another angle.
And it should be noted that no matter how Fangzheng "retreated" or "accelerated", the total amount of time he could manipulate was only a limited amount of time. He could not transform this time into an infinite amount. No matter how he used it, he had to ensure that the total amount of time he used did not exceed the default range.
Therefore, for Fangzheng, whether he "accelerated" for one second or "retreated" for one second, the ability would default to -1s-1s-1s for Fangzheng until the time limit was reached.
If time was compared to money, then Fangzheng only had a certain amount of money in his hands. He could only spend it and could not take it back.
In addition, Fangzheng also found a flaw in his time ability.
Once he used a powerful skill while manipulating time, the duration would be reduced!
This was discovered after Fangzheng used the Royal Cross Swordsmanship. If he used an ordinary attack within a limited time, he would not feel anything special. But if he used a set of powerful swordsmanship, such as Crusader Strike + Judgment + Divine Storm + Verdict, the consumption would be frighteningly high. He might not even be able to maintain his ability, and he might even lose his strength. This also made Fangzheng secretly worried. He had persisted in the same place for a set of attacks, but his time ability could only last for three minutes at most.
And this was him against a wooden dummy. What if it was a more powerful enemy?
Let's not worry about the Child of Chaos first. If it was the Lord of Lich, or grand knights like Matt and Stone, how long could his ability last in front of them?
Originally, Fangzheng thought that the ability to manipulate time meant that he could do whatever he wanted for a period of time. Now it seemed that if the opponent was strong enough, his control over time would be weakened. If he encountered an enemy that he could not deal with, it was not impossible for him to be directly immune to it.
Along the way, Fangzheng was busy experimenting with his ability. The description of the ability was only an introduction. He had to think about how to use it himself. As a game designer and a veteran player, Fangzheng was naturally very experienced in this aspect. He directly treated this ability as a skill, then began to experiment whether it was a support skill or a main attack skill …. So far, it seemed that the support skill was more useful. But Fangzheng had a feeling that if he upgraded it, it might have some potential in the offensive aspect.
Of course, it had no effect now.
"Hmm?"
While Fangzheng was busy studying the ability, he suddenly raised his head and looked ahead in surprise. Because just now, Fangzheng keenly sensed the presence of life, and there were a lot of them!
The Zerg genes were very sensitive in terms of sensing. Right now, in Fangzheng's mind, he could clearly feel a lot of life signals gathering not far from him. The feeling was a bit like looking at the red dots on the minimap in StarCraft games. It was a bit strange, but … .as long as it was useful, it was fine.
I've finally found something alive!
Thinking of this, Fangzheng suddenly became excited. He immediately sped up and ran forward.
It didn't take long for Fangzheng to reach his destination. Just as he expected, where there was water, there would be people. What appeared in front of Fangzheng was a small town. From the outside, the town was a very beautiful place, but now, it had nothing to do with beauty and peace.
The reason was simple. It was attacked.
More importantly, the attack was not from humans.
"That's …."
Standing on a branch not far away, Fangzheng frowned and stared at the scene in front of him. Outside the town, a three-to-four-meter-high wall blocked the footsteps of the invaders. But the invaders did not give up because of this. They were a pack of black wolves the size of warhorses, and there were more than a hundred of them. These black wolves were circling outside the wall, madly ramming the door. Some of them even spat out flames on the wall.
Demonic beasts?
Of course, Fangzheng knew that there were demonic beasts in this world, and there were quite a lot of them. He didn't care about them in the past, but ever since he learned that spirit crystals could be used to top up, he had been secretly paying attention to demonic beasts. But what Fangzheng didn't expect was that he would actually see such a group of demonic beasts here!
Under the attack of this group of demonic beasts, the town was obviously unable to withstand it. Fangzheng saw the militias shooting arrows or throwing spears at the black wolves above the wall, but these attacks had no effect at all. The black wolves' fur was as thick as armor, and the arrows and spears directly slid away when they hit the wolves. They did not pose any threat at all.
If these people hadn't placed a lot of stones at the gate to block it, perhaps the town would not have lasted until now.
But that was only for now.
Facing the attack of the black wolves, the town could no longer hold on. The defense line was about to be completely breached. Of course, Fangzheng could guess what would happen to this beautiful town once the black wolves broke through the defense line.
But … for Fangzheng, this was not a problem.
Although he had done countless experiments, actual combat was always the best way to test his theory, wasn't it? Besides, these black wolves were demonic beasts ….
With this in mind, the way Fangzheng looked at the black wolves was as though he was looking at a pile of walking coins.
