"That's right, the reason why soul masters are noble is because they can make money. Now comes the last question, why can soul masters make money."
"Because the Spirit Hall provides subsidies to spirit masters, there is one gold soul coin every month." Xiao Wu said excitedly. She used the gold soul coins issued by the Spirit Hall to buy a brand new set of bedding in the past few days, and also ate a lot of things that she had never eaten in the forest.
"The Spirit Hall's soul master subsidies are only given to Soul Masters, and no more than that." Gu You felt that he had asked a stupid question. How could a love-brained rabbit think about these things?
Gu You gave the answer directly: "Because soul masters can kill people, the stronger the soul master, the more they can kill people, so soul masters can make the most money. If you don't pay me, I will kill you and take your money."
"The essence of a soul master is to take away lives. If a soul master wants to become stronger, he must take away the lives of soul beasts to obtain soul rings and soul skills. Why do they want to become stronger? Because this way they can better take away the lives of other soul masters and gain more things, such as power, money, and beauty."
"Where there are people, there will be desires. Where there are desires, there will be struggles. Struggles require strength, so soul masters with great strength become superior people."
"All soul masters are related to combat. The strong attack and agile attack systems are undoubtedly used to directly take lives. The auxiliary system is to strengthen teammates. The food system is used as logistics. The defense system protects companions. The control system either weakens the enemy's resistance or strengthens the teammates' killing ability."
"There is no soul master who is completely unrelated to combat. No. So there is no difference between soul masters and weapons."
The 100,000-year-old rabbit stared at Gu You in amazement. It was the first time she had seen a human who described his profession as a weapon. From his tone, Xiao Wu could clearly sense Gu You's dissatisfaction with the profession of soul master.
"Sorry, I'm a little too excited." Gu You picked up the water cup on the table and took a gulp. "Now, after defining soul masters as weapons, it's easy to see how rough the current classification of soul masters is."
"First of all," Gu You started writing and drawing on the blackboard, "the current mainstream view is to divide soul masters into strong attack, agile attack, control, and auxiliary. The less common ones are healing, food, and defense."
"To put it in the simplest terms, those with strong attacking abilities are the Power Attack type, those that can attack quickly are the Agility Attack type, those that can control the battlefield are the Control type, those that can help teammates are the Support type, those that can recover from injuries are the Healing type, those whose martial spirits can eat are the Food type, and those that cannot attack but are very strong and can protect teammates are the Defense type."
"That's a problem. My martial soul is the Ultimate Conductive Terrorbeast. Mine is a strong attack type. It's completely different from other weapon martial soul strong attack type soul masters, but they are all called strong attack type soul masters."
"There are also the auxiliary and food types. These two types of spirit masters actually provide benefits to teammates, but they are separated out because of whether the spirit can be eaten. The same is true for the healing type."
"So, now I am going to redefine the types of soul masters and only keep the following types."
Gu You took out the blackboard eraser and crossed out several words, leaving only "strong attack system", "agile attack system", "control system" and "support system".
Looking at the blackboard, Gu You explained: "Classify the food and healing types into the auxiliary type, and include the defense type into the offensive type."
"Then, we need to make very detailed classifications of each type."
"First is the strong attack system. The requirements for the strong attack system are very complex. One must be at the front of the team to bear the most damage and have a strong attack power to break through the enemy's defense alone. If one or both of these are present, one can be considered a strong attack system spirit master. So if we classify them, we can divide them into standing-type strong attack systems and armor-breaking strong attack systems. The original defense system spirit masters are included in the standing-type. And based on the means of attack, they can be divided into two types: long-range and close combat."
"In summary, according to my classification method, I am a close combat and strong attack spirit master with the martial spirit of the Ultimate Conducting Terrorbeast."
-----------------
ps: According to the original work, the classification of soul masters is too rough. Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and even Xiao Wu who use the Clear Sky Hammer are all classified as strong attack soul masters, but their roles in the team are completely different. Tang San can't do what Dai Mubai does, and Xiao Wu can't do what Ma Hongjun does.
I don’t know if anyone has played Princess Connect and Fate/Grand Order. They both involve tricks, but the requirements for team building are different depending on the aspects of the tricks.
My ideas and settings have been criticized. Although I have explained it, I still feel a little uncomfortable, grief-stricken, and in tears. Only the recommendation votes, collections, and monthly tickets can comfort me (sneak peek). There may be another update in the early morning, but I'm not sure. You should go to bed early.
Chapter 41 Team Combination and Tactical Matching
"Then your future development direction, Xiao Wu, is to become a spirit master of the Agility Attack System."
"The requirement for agility attack spirit masters is to rely on speed to complete assaults or reconnaissance missions at super speed."
"In fact, it is very difficult to achieve both at the same time. After all, a soul master only has nine soul skills (although we know that a 100,000-year soul ring can provide two, but we cannot show it), so generally we only specialize in one direction."
"Agility attack spirit masters who focus on combat are called output-type spirit masters, and those who focus on reconnaissance are called reconnaissance-type spirit masters."
"Then, just like the strong attack system, it is divided into two types according to the attack method: close combat and long-range. In your case, you will be a close combat output-type agility attack system soul master in the future."
"Next is the control type. The control type is usually divided into two types: restricting the opponent's performance or strengthening one's own performance. Of course, not all control type spirit masters can do both. So according to the different ways of controlling the battlefield, they are divided into weakening type, commanding type and all-round type."
"Finally, there are auxiliary spirit masters. In fact, auxiliary spirit masters are essentially divided into two types. One is to specialize in a certain aspect of assistance, such as a healing spirit master, whose spirit skills are basically used for healing and have almost no improvement effect. The other is also comprehensive, such as the famous Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, or a food spirit master who can provide various magical effects."
"According to the original name, change the original healing and food type to type, and the auxiliary type to amplification type, it will become a healing-specialized auxiliary type soul master, or a comprehensive amplification type auxiliary type soul master."
"This will allow soul masters to be more clear about their own positions. There will no longer be a situation where a strong attack soul master holding a long sword or even a strong attack soul master holding a long bow is at the forefront or a reconnaissance-type agility soul master is asked to complete the decapitation. Secondly, it can also change the way soul master teams are matched and formed."
"Soul Master Team?" Xiao Wu suddenly heard a term she had never heard of before and was unable to react for a moment.
Gu You explained: "A soul master team is a phenomenon formed by various types of soul masters to make up for each other's shortcomings. It often appears when hunting souls or exploring. For example, I am not fast enough and lack long-range attack methods. I can find a soul master with agility attack and long-range attack methods to form a team to better hunt souls and explore."
"It must be composed of at least five spirit masters, and a large team can even have more than a dozen spirit masters. According to the current mainstream number and optimal configuration, the total number is seven, consisting of three strong attack spirit masters, one agile attack spirit master, one control spirit master, one auxiliary spirit master, and one food spirit master."
"You see, three strong attack types. If all three strong attack types are like you now, then we're doomed. No one will be able to lead the way."
"You!" Xiao Wu understood that what Gu You said was the truth, but his tone was really irritating.
"Okay, stop," Gu You stretched out his hand to interrupt Xiao Wu, "It was just a joke. Now you can see how important it is to subdivide the spirit masters of each department."
"Moreover, after the subdivision, the way of fighting against soul masters when they form teams has also changed greatly."
Gu You took out the chess pieces he had carved from the drawer of his desk. Three of them had the words "Gu", "Tang" and "Wu" written on them respectively.
Gu You fiddled with the three chess pieces and said, "First of all, the three of us are now a melee-based and armor-piercing strong attack spirit master, you a melee-based output-type agility-type spirit master, and Xiao San is a comprehensive amplification-type and healing-type auxiliary spirit master. His Blue Silver Grass can also serve as a command-type control spirit master according to its current strength. So, what are we missing now?"
Xiao Wu looked at what was written on the blackboard, and thought about what Gu You had just said. Considering the current teamwork of the three of them, Xiao Wu said, "According to the seven-man spirit master team, we are still lacking a strong attack spirit master who specializes in long-range attacks, a full-time control spirit master, and a food spirit master. I can't think of the last one."
"Very good, that's true." Gu You clapped his hands to show encouragement, "According to what you said, the team now has six people, which basically completes the configuration of the soul master team."
Gu You took a few newspapers from the table that looked quite old and handed them to Xiao Wu, motioning for Xiao Wu to take a look.
"The Spirit Hall team won the first All-Continent Spirit Master Competition." "The Spirit Hall may miss the chance to win consecutive championships, as the captain is seriously injured and his participation is in doubt." Xiao Wu looked at a few newspapers and read the headlines in a low voice. She looked up at Gu You in confusion, "What is this?"
"The Continental Soul Master Competition is a competition for young soul masters under the age of 20, led by the Spirit Hall and jointly organized by the two empires." Gu You explained, "Initially, it was because the hundreds of years of war between the two empires had caused great damage to their vitality. Both sides did not want to continue the war but did not want to be the first to propose a ceasefire. Finally, under the mediation of the neutral organization Spirit Hall, the struggle between the young soul masters of both sides replaced the military war, recuperating and reducing casualties."
"As time went by, the relationship between the two empires eased somewhat, but the tradition of using battles between young spirit masters to replace the struggle of national strength was retained, and it became the continent-wide spirit master competition you see today. Not only will the two empires send spirit masters, but the Spirit Hall, sect forces, and other high-level spirit master academies will also send teams to participate. The nature of the competition has also changed from a confrontation of national strength to a competition of the ability to train young spirit masters."
"The winning team can bring huge fame and economic benefits to the academy, and the team's performance can even affect the rise and fall of the academy. In addition to receiving a large amount of bonuses, students who participate in the competition will have the opportunity to obtain titles and various treasures. Among them, the most precious is the soul bone."
"I've strayed off topic. Let's get back to the Soul Master Competition. The emergence of the Soul Master Competition has greatly advanced the way soul masters fight in teams. From the beginning, all the strong attack soul masters appeared, then the control soul masters discovered the role of control soul masters, and then the auxiliary and healing soul masters shined, and in order to deal with or protect the control, auxiliary, and healing soul masters, the agile attack and defense soul masters appeared."
"Because the competition stipulates that each side can only have a maximum of seven people on the field at the same time, and the people off the stage are not allowed to interfere with the game, so all tactics can only be completed with seven people. In the past, various strange combinations appeared, and gradually evolved into the team combination of three strong attacks, one control, one agile attack, one support, and one food, which is now considered the optimal solution."
"So my first goal now is to reclassify the types of soul masters and lead the innovation of soul master team tactics."
"As a martial soul researcher, the most important thing is not to discover some rules that anyone can find as long as they are willing. It is to bring new possibilities to the soul master profession through your own thinking and open up a new era of soul masters."
-----------------
ps: I really think San Shao was playing some online game when he wrote this book. The effect description of soul skills is like using skills in the game, soul bones are like character equipment, and team competition is like opening a dungeon. It's really exhausting to make up for the setting of soul master competition (sweat)
After thinking about it, I decided to stay up late to finish this chapter. After all, it is closely related to the previous chapter, and it will not be very effective if it is separated for too long. Everyone go to bed early, and study and work tomorrow. Continue to ask for recommendation tickets, collections, and monthly tickets
Chapter 42 Article Completed
Xiao Wu nodded, indicating that she agreed with Gu You's idea.
Gu You asked Xiao Wu to help organize the information in the basement so that he could concentrate on the manuscript.
Xiao Wu was still angry and felt that Gu You asked her to join just to do hard labor. However, when Gu You said that as long as the articles she wrote could be published, she could get royalties, and he would share part of it with her and Tang San, Xiao Wu was no longer angry and happily picked up the information and began to sort it.
After finishing his work as a part-time student at the academy and his job at the Spirit Hall, Gu You officially began his plan to make a name for himself.
First, Gu You used Xiao Wu, who had become "Sister Xiao Wu of the entire academy," to find students whose soul power level was level 9 to assist in his research. He then successfully counted the six-dimensional attributes of these students and used them as data for the article by paying them money (borrowed from Brother Tao in the name of doing an experiment) (different soul power levels would have different values, so all level 9 were found).
Then, Gu You combined what he had told Xiao Wu about the new classification of soul masters and the meaning of the various indicators and values in the soul master's six-dimensional diagram, his suggestions on the classification of martial soul quality, and the guiding significance of the six-dimensional diagram for the development direction of soul masters, and finally the tactical significance of the new classification for soul master teaming into one article.
Gu You asked Xiao Wu to call Tang San over. After Xiao Wu left, Gu You looked at the martial arts information of various academy students piled on both sides and found reports related to previous soul master competitions from newspapers that had never been sorted out, feeling deeply moved.
"Fuck, if I had this much energy back then, I would have been able to choose between 985 and 211."
With all these random thoughts in mind, Gu You decided to make a pot of tea first. This was the good tea he had just gotten from Grandpa Mashuno, and it was perfect for drinking at this time of celebration.
"Is this the new soul master classification that you told me about a long time ago, Xiaoyou?" Tang San, who had not even drunk water when he was called over by Gu You, was attracted by the various descriptions and data analysis in Gu You's article. "This is incredible. This is really something that can change the soul master world."
Although Tang San already had a high threshold for Gu You's talent, the answer Gu You gave now was far beyond what Tang San could accept.
Compared with what the teacher said in the course at the academy, Tang San felt in this article how much impact the subdivision of soul masters would have on the confrontation between soul masters. Whether it is the selection of teammates in the early stage or the tactical issues of building a team with core members, this article can give good guidance.
Moreover, the emergence of the six-dimensional diagram and the various testing methods proposed by Gu You also allow soul masters to have more references in choosing their own development direction, no longer limited to the experience and advice of so-called elders and the growth methods of the same type of martial spirits.
Just like the master Tang San himself had met, he regarded the Blue Silver Grass as a fragile rope, and with the rope spirit as the blue, he originally suggested that he choose the control system development direction, completely ignoring the characteristics of the Blue Silver Grass itself. Tang San couldn't even imagine the future of his Blue Silver Grass if it really absorbed the spirit rings of poisonous animal spirits. He was afraid that when he reached the Soul Sage stage, all the previous spirit skills and spirit ring bonuses would be useless.
Most importantly, Gu You also analyzed the configurations and spirit skill combinations of spirit masters in past spirit master competitions in the article, and proposed what he thought might be a more appropriate tactical option. Although this was actually just a fantasy, Tang San went over it in his mind and found that it was not just general talk, and there was indeed room for maneuver.
"Congratulations, Xiaoyou." Tang San put down the article and said with a smile, "Your goal is about to be achieved."
"Of course, I'm a genius." Gu You also responded to Tang San with a smile, and they both stretched out their right hands and clenched fists at the same time.
Xiao Wu stood in the middle, looking left and right, and inexplicably felt as if she was a little redundant.
Although they had not succeeded yet, the three of them were very confident and went to Mashuno to ask him to help send the article to Wuhun News.
Gu You's confidence comes from the fact that modern data analysis capabilities will have a huge impact on this medieval society. Tang San's confidence comes from his trust in Gu You's genius ideas over the years. Xiao Wu is a little strange. She is not confident that Gu You will succeed. She is confident because she sees that the other two are very confident, so she inexplicably becomes confident.
"Knock knock" Gu You pushed the door open again without waiting for Mashunuo to respond.
"Please come in, kid." Matthew Nuo, who was reading with his head down, was about to say "Come in" when he heard the door open and looked up. It was Gu You, who would always stay in the basement in the Spirit Hall except for eating.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Mashuno closed the book and put a bookmark inside the book before closing it. This action attracted Gu You to look over.
"Grandpa Matthew, why are you suddenly reading a book?" Gu You asked curiously.
This is actually also due to Gu You. It was because of the appearance of a "King of Scrolls" like Gu You in the Spirit Hall that all the spirit masters in the Spirit Hall were stimulated.
Although Gu You had been coming here to read books since he was a child, he had not yet awakened his soul power, so everyone in the hall just thought that this was a child's hobby.
But now Gu You has successfully awakened his soul power, and even has full innate soul power. In this case, he can still read books seriously, and there is Su Yuntao, a big mouth, saying everywhere that Gu You is already a martial soul researcher. He and another genius who also has full innate soul power obtained soul rings according to Gu You's advice, and the effect is indeed very suitable.
Everyone couldn't sit still. People with better talents than you work harder than you. How dare you go to sleep? Everyone in the Spirit Hall started reading. From the hall master Ma Xiunuo to the guard Li Shu, they often held a book in their hands and turned a few pages from time to time. The Spirit Hall library welcomed a peak in customer flow for the first time since its establishment.
In fact, Gu You should have discovered some clues long ago, but unfortunately he was fully devoted to writing the article at that time, and only various information remained in his mind. He even ate just to fill his stomach. Not to mention other people, even Xiao Wu, who had stayed with him the longest, and Tang San, who was the most familiar to him, started reading books, but he didn't notice.
Of course, Matthew Nuo certainly couldn't say that he started reading because he was inspired to win by seeing Gu You being so serious, otherwise he would have no place to save his face.
"Ahem, I have always had the habit of reading, but I was very busy with work and had to deal with various things before, so you didn't notice it." After the dry explanation, Matthew Nuo immediately changed the subject, "What's the matter with you guys suddenly coming to see me?"
"Grandpa Matthew, I promised you before." Gu You said as he placed the packaged article on Matthew's desk.
Gu You smiled and said confidently: "My article is finished. Please ask Grandpa Ma Xiunuo to submit it to the Wuhun Newspaper for me."
"I believe this will change the world of soul masters."
-----------------
I've been scolded so much that I clicked on it and found that some of the people who scolded me had their privacy settings turned on. I don't know why. I stayed up late to write yesterday and had no energy for work, so I decided to go to bed early today. Good night everyone (lying down ┗(w)┛). Please recommend, collect, and vote for me~
Chapter 43 New Research
After successfully publishing the article, Gu You finally entered a leisurely state after a long time.
He listened to the teacher's lectures in the morning, cleaned the college in the afternoon, and chatted and boasted with other working students in the dormitory at night. Gu You also expressed his ideas about the martial spirits of other working students in the form of storytelling in a joking tone.
