When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 421 Where is my GP?
Soon, the costumed puppet in front noticed the enemy's arrival and came forward with a candlestick in hand.

This long candlestick can be seen as a small trident, with a sharp tip in front for inserting candles, and it is covered in blood.

Qiu Qinghong walked forward confidently, jumped twice on the spot, and then pressed the dodge button.

He found that the effect of dodging was different depending on the weapon form. When switching to light weapon form, the character's dodging would become a step, and the movement speed would be significantly faster, making it appear lighter, but at the cost of shorter displacement distance and invincibility frames.

When switching to the two-handed heavy weapon form, the character's dodge will become a roll. Although the whole action takes longer and is slightly cumbersome, the displacement distance and invincibility frames will be increased.

In addition, whether it is jumping or dodging, there will be special attack actions when attacking immediately after making the action.

For example, jumping slash, stepping side slash, rolling stab, running attack, etc.

Qiu Qinghong wasn't too surprised. After all, "Blood of Lies" was an action game with relatively rich details. Actions like these were basically necessary and not a big plus.

The puppet in front of me was seen holding the candlestick in both hands, making a motion to prepare for a thrust.

At the same time, her body began to creak, a bit like the feeling of being wound up, and her whole body maintained the action of accumulating power to thrust, with the tip of the candlestick pointing at Qiu Qinghong.

"Okay, GP!"

A very logical idea flashed through Qiu Qinghong's mind.

Since both transformation slashes have GP's invincibility frame, wouldn't it be fine to just use the transformation slash to fight the opponent with swords?
If you can luckily get it right, you can attack the opponent while not getting hurt when the GP is triggered, which is a perfect operation with 100 points; and even if you don't luckily get it right, as long as your movements are faster than the opponent's, you may be able to use the impact force of the transformation slash to interrupt the opponent's movements, and there is a great probability that you will gain more.

Therefore, Qiu Qinghong prepared to use the transformation slash that turns a light weapon into a heavy weapon, that is, to extend the spear handle while swinging, and hit the puppet in a horizontal or vertical swing.

No matter which action game it is, vertical chop is basically the best action module, so the legend of "New Year's Sword Technique" is often circulated in the world.

Both sides attacked at the same time!

However, the puppet's attack hit Qiu Qinghong first.

After she finished charging, a ray of light seemed to flash on the weapon, and the spring made a noticeable clicking sound after accumulating power to its extreme. Then, holding the candlestick with both hands, she stabbed forward three times in a row!

Qiu Qinghong's transformation slash had an obvious pre-attack swing, and the weapon was stabbed by the candlestick before it was even raised above his head.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

A series of hitting sound effects appeared, and a large amount of blood spurted out of the character's body as if the body was stabbed.

Qiu Qinghong's transformation slash was naturally interrupted immediately. Although the weapon was transformed into a long-handled form normally, it did not touch the opponent at all.

"Hey!"

Qiu Qinghong quickly rolled over to avoid it. At this time, he checked his blood bar again and found that not only had he lost a large amount of blood, but the original blood bar also had light red and yellowish blood, which continued to decrease.

"How come such an ordinary stab can also cause bleeding?"

Qiu Qinghong was somewhat surprised at the opponent's strength, especially the puppet's stabbing action just now which was quite unreasonable and unethical.

If it is a normal human stab, the whole action is traceable. When the hands are gathering strength backwards, the player only needs to dodge according to his feeling, and there is a high probability that he can avoid subsequent attacks.

Because after the attack reaches the climax, the whole set of actions will definitely be completed within the normal time, even if there are fast and slow knives, it will not be particularly serious.

But puppets are different. They use springs to accumulate power, so the highest point of the action is just the beginning of accumulating power. As for when the accumulation is complete? This thing seems to rely purely on the backboard.

Furthermore, once the accumulation of strength is completed, the moves will become extremely fast, catching people off guard, and it is completely impossible to dodge them purely by reaction.

It gives people the feeling that the situation of fast and slow knife is very serious.

But this was only the first time, and Qiu Qinghong felt that he might have been careless. The character he controlled had basically unlocked all the mechanisms, with 10 blood bottles, and he immediately ate one and moved forward again.

“Well, it should be a question of GP’s timing.

"The transformation from a light weapon to a heavy weapon has a long lead time, and the GP timing is relatively late. The opponent is using a weapon similar to a spear, and the attack speed is very fast. We can't beat him in terms of attack speed.

"In that case, why not use the transformation slash that turns heavy weapons into light weapons!"

Qiu Qinghong had tried it before. The transformation slash from a heavy weapon to a light weapon is a stab. During the stabbing process, the long handle is retracted, which makes the timing of the attack pre-swing and GP friendlier.

The puppet still performs the same action as before, stabbing with the candlestick!

Qiu Qinghong also used the Transformation Slash to make a stabbing motion!

"clang!"

This time, it was Qiu Qinghong who made the first move. While the puppet was still accumulating strength, Qiu Qinghong's sword in the form of a spear had already pierced the opponent, and there was a dull sound as the metal collided with the puppet's body.

However, the meat quality was extremely poor!

If it were in other games, this attack would most likely cause the enemy to bleed, and then the entire body would inevitably be hit and slightly retreat. After all, this is a normal reaction of a living being stabbed.

However, the puppet showed no signs of bleeding at all. The bullet seemed to have left an inconspicuous dent on her body, and a hole in her gorgeous clothing, but the puppet only shook slightly, without any impact on the original movement. Just like before, it charged with full power and stabbed forward!
"Puff!" Qiu Qinghong was stabbed again!

Although it became an injury-for-injury situation, Qiu Qinghong was obviously at a great disadvantage. Not only were all his subsequent attack actions interrupted, but his health also dropped sharply.

To make matters worse, the bleeding seemed to be getting faster!
At first Qiu Qinghong thought it was his own illusion, but after carefully looking at the blood bar, he found that the blood loss rate had indeed changed significantly.

"Wait, where's my GP?"

Qiu Qinghong hurriedly took a step forward to create some distance, while recalling carefully in his mind.

Then he remembered that this GP action was obviously earlier than the puppet's attack action, so it had no effect at all.

“Isn’t the invincibility frame of this GP too short?

"Okay, I thought too much. GP should be used only after you have memorized the monster's moves and become very proficient in them. It is not realistic to rely on luck.

"It's better to just dodge or block."

Qiu Qinghong drank another bottle of blood potion, used the Transformation Slash to stretch his weapon again, and prepared to fight this puppet in a turn-based game.

Observe the opponent's attack movements, carefully keep your distance, dodge the enemy's attack first, and then look for an opportunity to counterattack.

No matter what kind of high-difficulty game it is, it is generally correct to adopt such a strategy, and "Blood of Lies" is likely to be no exception.

The puppet stabbed again, and this time Qiu Qinghong dodged decisively.

Very good, the first attack was successfully dodged with a step.

Qiu Qinghong did not take it lightly, because he knew that this was a three-hit combo, so he pressed the dodge button again and tried to step aside to avoid it.

The second attack was also dodged, no problem.

However, something is wrong with the third attack, because the puppet's three-hit poke action actually has a slight pause. It is not very noticeable during normal attack, but if the player dodges continuously, then this poke will just catch the player's backswing of the step.

"Pfft!"

"Hey!" Qiu Qinghong was a little flustered. He subconsciously pressed the step key again, but the character seemed to still be stuck in the action of being hit before and did not dodge immediately as he wished.

At this time, the puppet's attack action seemed to have some strange derivation. After three consecutive pokes, there was another quick upward strike!

If the character controlled by Qiu Qinghong could dodge immediately, he could have avoided it, but unfortunately the character had a long period of stiffness, and as a result, he was hit hard by the upward attack!
"puff!"

There was another muffled sound, but this time the amount of bleeding seemed to be extremely large. The tip of the candlestick accurately pierced the head of the character controlled by Qiu Qinghong in the upward movement, and lifted him up on the spot.

And the health bar also hit the bottom!
A huge English word in artistic font appeared on the screen: "LIE"! After a moment, the L in the word gradually changed and became a D, and the whole word became "DIE".

Then, the picture quickly rewinds, as if the fast-rewind button was pressed in the movie, the puppet makes a reactionary movement of the poke, and the character also gets up from the ground and quickly moves backwards, returning to the original state in front of the street lamp.

Qiu Qinghong scratched his head and looked at Wei Chengjie in confusion: "Don't I still have so much health? I was killed in an instant?

"Also, why does the stiff state after being hit last so long? It's unscientific, isn't it?"

Obviously, Qiu Qinghong was beaten without any ability to fight back, which made him very dissatisfied.

Wei Chengjie coughed twice and explained, "I was killed in seconds because my body was damaged.

“The puppet’s upward attack hit the character’s head. According to the game’s mechanics, when the head suffers a certain amount of damage and is completely destroyed, it will trigger instant death, which means that no matter how much health is left, the character will die on the spot.

"If you wear a helmet, it will be a little better.

"As for the 'hit stiffness' you mentioned, strictly speaking it is not a hit stiffness, but a special 'cowardly' state, which is also a hidden mechanism in Blood of Lies."

Qiu Qinghong was a little confused: "Timid state?"

Wei Chengjie nodded: "Yes, let me give you a simple example. In the real world, if two people are fighting, and one of them is swinging a knife and the other has been hit by the knife, then it is actually impossible to dodge cleanly as if you had not been hit.

“I could only think of ways to defend myself in a panic.

“The same is true for Blood of Lies. When a character is hit in human form, the stiffness won’t last long, but after getting rid of the stiffness, there will be a timid state.

"When in a cowardly state, a person's mobility will be restricted, running speed will be greatly reduced, and they will be unable to take steps or roll. They can only use the weapons in their hands for defense.

"Only after defending against the enemy's subsequent attacks and gaining some breathing time can we return to our original rhythm."

Qiu Qinghong keenly grasped the key point: "You just said, 'in human state'? Do you mean that this state will not exist in non-human state?"

Wei Chengjie nodded: "Yes, if it is in a puppet state, there will be no timid mechanism."

Qiu Qinghong looked at the puppet that hung him up and beat him, and thought about his weak self.

Could it be that the only option is to join if you can't beat them?
