"Huh? Isn't it true that the longer you've been a player and the more time you spend leveling up, the stronger you are?"

Zhong Bai was somewhat puzzled.

Before 06, there wasn't such a clear upgrade system. Back then, martial arts novels didn't categorize people in the martial arts world into different classes. A person's strength depended entirely on the reputation they earned.

Instead of the current clear-cut distinction between third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate.

Back then, even top-tier martial arts masters could be poisoned and killed by waiters at roadside tea stalls.

However, in Zhong Bai and Yan Ling's generation, class difference represented everything.

Hearing Chung Pak's question, Zhou Wan shook her head.

"That statement is too absolute. In the player world, nothing is 100% certain. There can always be exceptions. What you are seeing now is that Liliana..."

"Liliana?" Yan Ling glanced at her uncle.

"It's this succubus," Zhou Wan explained, then paused the screen to continue, "I've already explained to you how powerful the player's power system is, but it also has its inconveniences. For example, mages and cultivators can recover by taking medicine or meditating when their power is depleted, but players can't. Players need to replenish their energy through real food, which is extremely expensive. Those extraordinary foods that can replenish millions of calories in one bite are not cheap."

"Oh, I see, Liliana is currently hungry and weak!"

Zhong Bai nodded. The player power system sounded a bit inconvenient, but it also showed one of its advantages. For example, this power system was not affected by the environment. In places without spiritual power, one would become an ordinary person.

Places where spiritual power is restricted are practically useless; for players, it's simple—as long as they can eat, they're fine.

It seems that whether or not the Blue Star is in a state of spiritual energy recovery, it will not affect the master's strength!

Hehehe, as expected of me, I have a great eye for choosing big shots.

At this moment, Zhong Bai completely forgot that over the years, he had cast a wide net to find superpowered individuals, spending countless sums of money on this every year.

"Not entirely." Zhou Wan shook her head. "She's in a passive position right now, and being hungry is part of the reason, but that's not why I intervened."

Zhou Wan pointed to herself in the picture.

"The player system has a very unique feature: it is not an absolutely impossible fact that a novice player can kill a pro player who has immediately stepped into the second tier. This is because whether you have a memory limit of 1kb or 1024kb, the small flame they manifest has the same temperature and destructive power."

"Hmm? Master, is the small flame that someone with a 1024kb limit manifests at the cost of 1024kb the same as one 1kb?"

Zhou Wan rolled her eyes at Zhong Bai.

Where did this jerk come from?!

"What I mean is, of course, the same amount of memory is consumed, and it's not like those martial arts masters, where top masters can use flowers and leaves as top-level hidden weapons."

"Oh... I understand, Master. You mean that no matter what level you are, you can only do 1kb of things by consuming 1kb. It's not like a high-level player consuming 1kb of material can do the same thing as a low-level player consuming 1000kb of material."

"Hmm, good comprehension."

but.

This ironclad rule only applies to ordinary players.

Zhou Wan only realized how terrifying those privileges were after becoming a player with such privileges.

Taking his current computing power as an example, he can actually break down 1kb into 2kb or even 10kb. Moreover, previously, accessing 1kb of memory would have caused him to lose 10,000 kilocalories of heat, but now it might only be a little over 100.

The conversion is roughly correct.

Ordinary low-level players:

With 1 unit of computing power, it takes one second and consumes 1kb of memory to generate a fist-sized flame with a maximum temperature similar to that of a gas stove.

Ordinary advanced players:

With 1000 computing power, it takes 0.001 seconds and consumes 1kb of memory to generate a fist-sized flame with a maximum temperature similar to that of a gas stove.

A player with certain privileges, Zhou:

With 10000 computing power, but only 1 computing power is mobilized, it takes 0.001 seconds and consumes 1kb of memory to generate a flame the size of a basketball with the same temperature as a gas stove, or a flame the size of a fist with ten times the temperature, or ten or more fireballs the size of a fist with the same temperature.

After all, high computing power is meant to do more with less power, or to do things faster with the same amount of power.

Simply put

With my current 1kb memory limit, I feel like I can easily defeat my 1024kb normal self!

"So, Uncle, you mean that, among players, the amount of memory only determines endurance, not maximum attack power?"

"Not entirely. Something that consumes 1024kb will definitely be more powerful than something that consumes 1kb. However, the more memory it uses, the more heat it needs to consume and the more computing power it needs to use. The activation time will also be longer. No matter how powerful it is, it is meaningless if it can't hit anyone."

Zhong Bai's eyes lit up. "It's similar to playing a game. First, use a basic attack with low cost and fast activation to catch the enemy in a stun state and put them under control before unleashing a high-damage skill that requires a casting time!"

"Oh, I see. Big skills aren't that useful. Small skills aren't that different for everyone. No wonder Uncle said before that a player's combat experience and imagination are quite important. Manifesting some small gadgets that have fast activation speed and considerable power might be more effective than manifesting a meteorite falling from the sky."

After Yan Ling finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Wan expectantly, as if to say, "Am I right? Uncle, am I great?"

Zhou Wan nodded.

"That's roughly the idea, and that's the theory. However, high-memory players aren't stupid either; they have many ways to defend and counterattack. So, in player-versus-player combat, the most important thing is information—whether you recognize the moves others are using. If you do, you have corresponding countermeasures. But monsters are different. Everyone knows the data about common monsters, so they're easy to deal with."

"Master, you said we need to learn other people's techniques, but I don't. Can't we just focus on increasing our physical strength and using brute force to overcome all methods?"

Chung Pak felt that using too many methods was too troublesome; he preferred to take one path to its extreme.

"Other cultivation systems might work, but in the player system, if you specialize in physical strength, then someone can easily take you down with a simple illusion, or mental or soul control, leaving you in a very passive position."

"Wait a minute, if I can control such a strong physical body, my mental strength must be quite formidable. I wouldn't be so easily affected by illusions, would I? And even if I were affected by an illusion, can't I just break it with brute force?"

Chung Pak didn't want to be a troll; he just desperately craved superpowers.

A desire will lead one to approach and study, and then absorb a large amount of information, regardless of whether it is correct or not.

Zhou Wan gave him a disgruntled look.

"In fact, illusions are not as simple as you think. They just confuse your five senses, and then the caster stands in front of you. You punch him and kill him, and the illusion ends. It's a bit troublesome to explain verbally. Hey, Big Bell, who did you say you wanted to take revenge on? Do you have any photos? I'll demonstrate for you."

Yes, yes, yes!

Yan Ling replied immediately.
