Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 693 [Mirror Magician's Intelligence Scissors]——Optimization!
Seeing this strange scar, Mo Ying was also stunned for a moment, but then he took it over: "This is even better, don't worry, nothing will happen to me. Didn't the minister tell you to protect me?

In fact, you don't have to take it so seriously. Although my ability is auxiliary, it's not that I can't fight. Moreover, we are still moving along the same route, it's just that you are leading the way and the distance between us is farther than it is now.

So from another perspective, I am actually safer, because the ambushes on the road will encounter you first."

Xia Shou nodded and looked at the others.

No. 102 said impatiently, "Do you think we are nothing? I will be Miss Mo Ying's meat shield at the critical moment, and Huang Changnian will go first in the subsequent battles. Shen Fei's [Share Weal and Woe] will bind Miss Mo Ying... With so many of us, are we not as good as you?"

"It's just enough." Xia Shou responded deliberately.

In his heart, he actually felt that she was too reliable, but the way No. 102 spoke was really annoying. Even if it was a very ordinary speech, coupled with her naturally contemptuous attitude, it would be easy to make people feel uncomfortable.

"If I let you walk in front, you won't be able to increase the distance. We need to optimize our route. Shen Fei, take out the map." Mo Ying took the map and drew a straight line at the bend of the originally winding route.

If they follow this straight line, Xia Shou will immediately be far ahead of them, and they will also pass through the routes of other mopping-up teams. If Xia Shou encounters an ambush in advance, they will gain regardless of whether the opponent uses D God's Law to fight alone or not.

If the opponent uses D God's Law when encountering Xia Shoushi, then the subsequent teams passing by will be able to continue to advance the sweep area without interference.

If the opponent does not use the D God's Law, even if Xia Shou cannot clear them all by himself, he can turn around and seek support from any team, which means he can attack or defend.

The most important thing is that the new route arranged by Mo Ying is the same direction as the one where Jiang Wengao fell just now. If Xiao Gao is not lost, then it is very likely that they will meet halfway.

Xia Shou looked at the new route several times, memorized the landmarks on it, nodded and said, "I remember it. I'll go first."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the path next to the commercial plaza.

Mo Ying watched Xia Shou's figure disappear into the shadow of the night, turned back, and straightened his bamboo hat: "Then let's continue along the original route."

……

……

Xia Shou was running alone on the road, observing his position and thinking.

There are many advantages to acting alone, one of which is that you can let the shadow devour the corpse, which is an advantage that team action does not have.

Not long after running, Xia Shou encountered the first group of corpses.

The situation on the battlefield was extremely tragic, with broken limbs everywhere. Many bodies were flattened like meat patties and pressed against the wall, while some were twisted into long strips like twisted dough sticks and lying across the roadside.

The black shadow under Xia Shou's feet opened automatically and began to devour the corpse.

After the evolution, the shadow can only obtain multiple skills after devouring the third-level anomaly. Only the fourth-level and above anomalies can obtain permanent skills. But even if there are only third-level anomalies, the residues they provide can still optimize the skills that Xia Shou currently possesses.

A large number of devouring progress bars appeared in front of Xia Shou. Almost all of the dead were Level 3 Transcendents, and the speed of the black shadow's devouring was just as described in the introduction after its evolution - [It eats garbage as fast as lightning, and tastes delicacies slowly and carefully. ]

At this time, Xia Shou naturally had no time to let the black shadow chew slowly. Although chewing slowly could directly increase strength, no one knew when the reflected world would break, so every second saved counted.

Rather than opening the permanent skills from the blind box, it would be better to let Sombra "swept away everything in a whirlwind" and turn all those corpses into residue to optimize the original skills.

Xia Shou took a two-pronged approach, devouring while directly consuming the residue to upgrade his skills.

The first thing he optimized was the most commonly used and versatile [Mirror Magician's Information Scissors].

After consuming a large amount of collected residue, the Mirror Magician's Intelligence Scissors were upgraded. Originally, the mirror magic lasted for ten minutes and had a cooldown of two hours. After the upgrade, the effect of the cooldown time changed.

[You can start and end [Mirror Magic] at any time. The cooldown time of Mirror Magic is twelve times the usage time. When you do not use [Mirror Magic] within ten minutes, the cooldown time starts to be calculated.

When the cooldown reaches the upper limit of two hours, you can no longer activate [Mirror Magic] until the cooldown is reduced.

Every ten minutes of using [Mirror Magic], you can store [Information Cutting] once, up to a maximum of three times. You can choose to use all three stored items together after guessing the same information. 】

"Awesome!" Xia Shou exclaimed.

Although it's just a very minor change, it completely makes the strength of this skill soar to a new level!

The original effect of [Mirror Magician's Information Scissors] lasts for ten minutes after activation, and then cools down for two hours.

The pain point of this effect is that when dealing with many enemies, Xia Shou can use the mirror magic to resolve the battle in less than ten minutes. However, no matter whether he kills the enemy in ten minutes or three seconds, he will have to bear a two-hour cooling penalty in the end.

But after upgrading, the use of skills becomes very flexible.

Although it still takes ten minutes and requires two hours of cooling, it can be used in fragments.

An even more powerful change is that [Scissors of Intelligence] can actually store and accumulate information!

When Xia Shou was excitedly trying to use the remaining residue to continue strengthening, a line of words appeared before his eyes: [The existing residue grade cannot meet the optimization requirements of this skill]

"Isn't the high-level residue obtained by devouring the third-level anomaly enough?"

It seems that in order to further optimize this skill, it may be necessary to devour level 4 or even higher level anomalies and extraordinary beings.

There are still a lot of residues obtained from devouring the corpses on the scene, and one or two skills can be optimized.

Among the remaining skills, [Future Prefabrication] does not essentially belong to this era. It was brought into the modern era by the Seven Pronged Fragments, so it cannot be changed at all.

[Seeking one's own death] Due to its special nature, it cannot be changed.

Then the only ones left are [Reach the pinnacle in an unmanned place], [Flash kill when hit], [Stand-in], [Superpower bank], and [Impermanence eyes].

In fact, what Xia Shou wants to optimize most is [Reaching the pinnacle in an unmanned place].

But reaching the pinnacle is his trump card, and although it is costly, the effect is also very domineering and very precise.

Even a small inappropriate change may turn an enhancement into a "negative optimization".

Without seeking death by trial and error, he didn't dare to take action against Dengfengzhiji.

Although, these residues can also be saved, and these resources are kept until the self-destruction cools down before use, the cost-effectiveness is definitely the highest.

But to be honest, Xia Shou is not sure if he can survive this situation with his current strength.

Just like playing a game, saving the experience to upgrade your skills may bring the greatest benefit, but if you can't even clear the current copy, you will have nothing left when you die.

So which of the remaining residues and advanced residues is better to optimize?
