Chapter 2874 Left and Right Brain Interaction

As one of the main members of the [Burning Flame] guild, Qi Xiang Wan Qian, besides her crazy personality and excessive energy, naturally has many unique characteristics in combat. Compared to others, this girl's greatest advantage is that she is particularly good at fighting with both her left and right brains.

It's worth noting that this trait is not derogatory, but rather a genuine compliment.

As we all know, most people have their own areas of expertise. For example, Xinglong is best at close-quarters combat professions such as monks and fighters; Typing Warriors are proficient in professions such as petty theft, lock picking, and dancing on the edge of a knife; Holy Light Old King is good at most healing and support professions; and Peerless Hero is good at strategizing and deploying formations.

Although the professions in each game are more or less different, the essence remains the same: almost all top players will try their best to cultivate their skills in their comfort zone, and will almost never challenge themselves in public or formal occasions except in casual games.

Admittedly, as the most skilled and talented group among the vast majority of players, these people would possess considerable strength even if they played other classes. Even if they weren't particularly amazing, they would at least surpass 'Jadka the Mage's' achievements in the field of mages. However, for these people, 'not amazing' is actually a big problem in itself.

Professional gamers who aren't 'amazing' lose their value. After all, in esports, being bad is the original sin. People who don't want to perform at their best and like to waste their talent don't deserve to stay in this circle.

As for non-professional players... although they do have a lot of freedom and don't rely on win rate or traffic for a living, take a typing warrior as an example. If he didn't play a rogue class, he would be killed at least a hundred times a day based on his actions.

But this girl, who is known for her ever-changing weather, is an exception.

First of all, her skill level is basically only at the level of a quasi-second-rate professional player. If placed in the top circle, she would definitely be the kind of player who would have a hard time even beating the people in the second team of the [Red Constellation], and would be in the lower middle tier.

However, she is the kind of sub-prodigy who can play all professions to at least the 'third-rate' level, and can also play at least two professions to the 'near second-rate' level with a lot of effort.

To be fair, the term "all-rounder" carries significant weight among top players. Players like "Weather Wonders," who have an unlimited range of skills and can master at least two different classes, are the dream substitutes of professional clubs and studios.

It's important to know that this girl is different from those who can only make small leaps like switching between swordsman and berserker, mage and warlock, healer and support. If needed, she can simultaneously play two equally demanding professions and switch between them seamlessly.

What's even more commendable is that she can even apply the gameplay of one class to another to a limited extent. For example, when she plays both the Thief and Tank classes at the same time, she can use the former's footwork and positioning to absorb damage, occasionally using some positioning and flanking maneuvers to allow herself to survive a few more seconds when she lacks damage reduction skills.

Even so, Qi Xiang Wan Qian is only a 'main elite' in [Burning Flame], not a 'cadre'. The main reason, besides her personality flaws, is that her ability ceiling is relatively low. For example, without a substitute, she has very little chance of getting a starting opportunity when tackling high-difficulty dungeons or bosses.

However, in the game "Innocent Realm", the potential of the "All-Encompassing Weather" skill has been miraculously increased significantly. As a result, she has now caught up with the mainstream top-tier teams in terms of pure combat power. The reason is simple: in this game where a single player can play multiple roles, the ability of "All-Encompassing Weather" to switch between the left and right brain has been greatly enhanced.

For example, right now, because she has the talent of "left and right brain fighting each other" (yes, it is a talent), the attribute bonuses she loses from taking on multiple professions are almost 50% less than those of regular players. This immediately makes her an absurdly versatile warrior, at least in the high-level realm.

For example, if a shield warrior player is also training a berserker, the strength attribute gained by the berserker class after leveling up from 49 to 50 will definitely be diluted from 10 points to 2 points. However, if it is a weather-changing class, she will gain at least 6 points of strength.

Of course, this is not unlimited. For example, if she trains to be a swordsman, the bonus to her strength attribute will be basically zero, but the bonus to her dexterity will still be considerable.

This is why there are now six diverse character classes: Rogue, Ranger, Shield Warrior, Monk, Fire Mage, and Justice Knight.

Among them, the classes of Thief and Ranger ensure her Dexterity attribute, Shield Warrior and Monk ensure her Constitution attribute, Fire Mage ensures her Intelligence attribute, and Justice Knight ensures her Strength attribute, so that at this moment, Qi Xiang Wan Qian is at least 30% ahead of mainstream players of the same level in terms of attribute points.

It's worth mentioning that because the experience gained from multiple professions is also compressed, even though Qi Xiang Wan Qian was among the first to join [Yu Huo] and is still alive, the average level of the six professions is only 43. Although this is considered to be within the threshold of the high-level, it is not yet at the level of reaching the epic card.

According to the speculation of Xiaoyu, who oversaw a significant portion of the underground work, when all six classes of the current meta reach level 50, even without abilities like domains or inherent barriers, her character's strength on the stat sheet will be far superior to other players with epic cards. Combined with the individual rankings, she can at least maintain a stable position in the top 30 based on her stat sheet.

It's important to know that being able to break into the top 30 of the individual rankings in "Innocent Realm" is basically considered to be at the level of a top-tier main player in major clubs and studios. In the past, no player in any game has ever been able to successfully break into the top 500 of this type of ranking based on their own strength.

Many people who only focus on the homepage of the rankings and only have eyes for monster-level players like Cordoba, Xinglong, Muxuejian, and Christina might think that being ranked 30th is nothing special. But for Qixiangwanqian and [Yuhuo], this is already a terrifying achievement that would make them laugh in their dreams.

Of course, all of this comes at a price. In Xiaoyu's calculations, although Qixiang Wanqian could firmly hold the position of the top player below Epic level after all classes reach max level (because most powerful players will break through to Epic level eventually), her chances of successfully breaking through to Epic level were basically limited to relying on luck through system rewards in various extremely difficult quests. More importantly, even if [Yuhuo] could find a way to get her one or more Epic class quests, her attribute advantage at the Epic level would be compressed to only about 15% higher than that of normal players, and—

Unless she deletes her account and rebuilds her character, she will permanently lose the chance to advance to Legendary rank.

This kind of forward-looking approach, which directly locks in the possibility of maximizing one's strength, might be unbearable for many people, but Qiexiang Wanqian is very open-minded about it. In her own eyes, it's no different from 'forever losing the possibility of scratching a receipt and winning a five million dollar prize when buying discounted eggs at the supermarket'.

After all, high-level players are different from ordinary players; they are often more realistic and understand their own limits.

Advancing to a higher rank is a rare feat even among native NPCs; it might be the pursuit of an awakened dragon or a peerless hero, but it's definitely not something one can achieve for oneself.

Qi Xiangwanqian was well aware of this, so she fully accepted Xiaoyu's plan for her and worked hard every day, amidst her madness, to achieve the goal of 'getting more epic classes'.

...Simply put, it means they didn't put in much effort.

However, she is still very strong. After all, the benefits of the talent "Left and Right Brain Interaction" not only allow her to enjoy playing various professions with low resource consumption, but also enable her to specifically enhance a single profession.

For example, using "Desperate Strike" with both hands simultaneously.

With the same cost, each of the two [Desperate Strike] attacks loses 20% of its power, yet this already terrifying skill still manages to increase its total damage by an additional 60%!
It's no exaggeration to say that as long as their overall strength is not too different, even classes like knights and shield warriors, which are known for their strong physique, will be instantly killed if they are grazed twice, and it is a luxury to live for even half a second longer.

Unfortunately, in front of Typing Warrior and Soul Douluo, Qi Xiang Wan Qian's struggle was obviously useless. In an instant, the two of them smashed his weapon away with a dagger and a sword hilt respectively. Incidentally, the former also quickly poured a bottle of healing potion down his throat, causing him to choke and his eyes to roll back.

"Yes, that means she won't be able to move for a while."

The Typing Warrior glanced at the man who was paralyzed on the ground, unable to move due to the side effects of [Desperate Strike], looking utterly dejected. He nodded with satisfaction and then said to Soul Douluo, "You can go ahead. I'll go in and find Xiao Yu."

Po Douluo glanced at Qi Xiang Wan Qian, who was wriggling on the ground and muttering "Changbai, Changbai, hehehehehe, Changbai" repeatedly, and said with a subtle expression, "What about this guy? Is it okay for him to stay here?"

The typist laughed nonchalantly: "It's alright, Xiaoyu has eyes and ears everywhere here, nothing will happen to Wanqian."

"I'm not worried about her getting into trouble."

Po Douluo sighed and said helplessly, "I just feel a little embarrassed."

"Stop messing around, buddy."

The typist was even happier, and said very seriously, "You're the vice president of [Burning Flame], how could you possibly have any face left to lose?" "..."

Although his own faction was chaotic and evil, he was always inferior to the Typing Warrior in some aspects. Soul Douluo sighed and turned to leave.

The typing warrior walked briskly past the ever-changing weather, wandering around for about fifteen minutes before finally entering an unassuming general store.

Almost as soon as he stepped into the store, the bookshelf next to the clerk smoothly 'opened' from the inside out, revealing a brightly lit corridor.

"I haven't given the code yet..."

The typist pouted with some regret and gave the teller a resentful look.

"Brother Yu said you should hurry up, Chairman."

The clerk shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "And you expect me to ignore any of your performances?"

"whispering sound."

The typing warrior shook his head and then quickly walked into the corridor behind the bookshelves. In less than a minute, he arrived at a room that was fairly large and decorated in a simple and modern style.

A man sat at the tea table in the center of the room.

A man who is not worth describing.

A human male under thirty years old, of average appearance, height, and build, wearing glasses and a novice-provided linen suit, who doesn't seem to be very good at taking care of himself.

He almost single-handedly built the intelligence and logistics system of [Burning Fire]. Within the guild, he was known as a powerful figure who could clean up countless messes in one go. He had never shown his face to outsiders or entered the public eye. Only a very few professional clubs and studios vaguely knew that there was such a person as Xiaoyu.

"You should at least wear something decent..."

The Typing Warrior sighed and complained to his old friend, whom he was seeing in person in the [Innocent Realm] for the first time in a long time, "Anyone who didn't know better would think I was abusing you."

"I have limited time, so don't waste my breath."

While flipping through the scroll in his hand with his eyes lowered, Xiao Yu asked without looking up, "The contents of the message haven't been embellished, have they?"

"No."

The typing warrior shook his head vigorously and said succinctly, "I killed Ethan, and that's epic too."

"Well, if you can't even do this much, you might as well die."

Xiao Yu nodded casually, then asked, "Why go to the southwest? As far as I know, with you there in the limited-time secret realm, the overall contribution of [Burning Flame] can be increased by at least ten percentage points. That place will basically be the largest gathering place for players in this game in the future, and these contributions are very important."

“Apo is the same. He just doesn’t like to use his brain, but when everyone is relatively restrained and doesn’t scheme against each other, the role he can play is not much worse than mine.”

The typing warrior answered without hesitation, sitting opposite Xiaoyu and saying seriously, "I went to the southwest this time mainly to confirm some things."

"explain."

"Seventy-six and I spent some time there..."

"Speak the key."

"I met an NPC over there. He was a really nice guy, and we hit it off immediately."

"Then?"

"That NPC brother suddenly disappeared without a word one day, vanishing into thin air."

"Then?"

"That guy looks exactly like that Black Fan from the Haunted Church."

"Exactly the same?"

"Exactly the same."

"so what?"

"I'm curious."
