Chapter 72 The Third Decision
Chapter 72 The Third Decision
"Host, Xiaobao will serve you in the future. If there are any shortcomings, I hope you will forgive me~"
The "brand new" Xiaobao looked very shy, which made Leng Xiyao secretly happy. Such a little cutie could be called a system elf. What on earth was that broken light ball from before?
"Hey, Xiaobao, what can you do?" Leng Xiyao was very interested in this little elf that she had made with her own hands.
"Well, host, I can perform some system operations for you. You just need to give me instructions." Xiaobao seemed to get into the state quickly and said with a smile.
Leng Xiyao thought about it and realized that the system wizard didn’t really help that much. She just didn’t need to think too hard about some things about the system. With Xiaobao as a tool, she could feel a lot more relaxed.
Then, she issued her first instruction: "Is that so? Then Xiaobao, can you open the strategic choice for me first?"
In fact, Xiaobao is not needed for such simple things. The main function of the system elf is to integrate system functions and provide the host with better services based on the current situation, rather than acting like a nanny.
However, since Leng Xiyao had already mentioned it, Xiaobao obediently brought out the familiar three-choice panel: "Okay, host, the strategic choice has been activated. Please choose one of the following three options:"
“1. Elite Swarm: When the host upgrades the main nest level, three gene sequences of the current level will be randomly unlocked for the host, and its initial strength will be level three.”
“2. Strengthen yourself: Gain the immortal-level skill [Fearless Charge]. When this skill is activated, the speed and attack power of all friendly forces (including teammates, Zerg heroes, and allies) will increase by 50%, but the defense power will decrease by 50%. At the same time, creatures not controlled by the host can refuse to activate this bonus, and it cannot be canceled in any way while the effect is in progress. Duration: five minutes.”
"3. Depend on subordinates: Randomly evolve a subordinate (the direction of evolution is random), and make its initial level after evolution be level five."
There are still three distinct options. Leng Xiyao first ruled out the third one. After all, this one is random and has too many variables.
Currently, the only hero under her command is Dahuang. Tianmeng is still in the egg and it is unknown when she will be able to break out of the shell.
Dahuang is her best friend. If he evolves into a garbage form, won’t she cry to death?
After giving up the third option, Leng Xiyao looked at the first option with some regret.
This option is very generous. If her current main nest level is five, then this route can help her jump directly to level six and unlock three third-order alien insect technologies, which is very powerful.
But unfortunately, her main nest is only level one now. If she just jumps to level two, then this route would be too weak.
What's even more regrettable is that once this road choice is activated, she cannot operate any system-related functions before making a choice, probably to prevent tampering with it.
In desperation, Leng Xiyao had to focus on the second one.
This fearless charge is a traditional skill in Interstellar. Whether it is the Terrans, Zerg or Protoss, almost all of them have this skill, but the methods of activating it are different.
It's just like the human race. The head of the empire only needs to yell a few words, and the stormtroopers under him will be like mad dogs, carrying small fusion bombs and charging. After a squadron goes there, the area where the main nest is located will be left with nothing.
The same is true for the Protoss, but compared to the Terrans, the Protoss' suicide charge is based on a powerful technological foundation, and every Protoss participating in the battle will have a backup of his consciousness or soul.
Theoretically, as long as the Protoss' logistics department can keep up and produce enough equipment, their troops will always be elite. Veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles can only be regarded as little brothers in the Protoss' army. The real elites may have participated in thousands of battles, so their fighting will is needless to say.
The most terrifying thing is that they are not afraid of death at all, because they will never die. For them, death is essentially just changing armor and continuing to fight. This fanatical fighting will is much stronger than that of the human race who have been brainwashed by the emperor.
Of course, whether the warrior produced by copying memories is the original warrior or a new Protoss warrior with only memories but no personality is probably a very difficult philosophical question to answer.
In comparison, the Zerg appear to be more human, because compared to the autonomous thinking ability possessed by humans and Protoss, the Zerg only have a pure will to fight. Throughout their lives, they either shout "Long live the Overlord" or "Long live the Queen". As long as they receive an order, they will execute it unconditionally. Because they lack the thinking logic of intelligent creatures, except for instinct, all their actions need to be commanded by humans.
The commanders of these are naturally the intelligent Zerg heroes, such as Zagara, the famous traitor in StarCraft, or some other Zerg queens. They dare not do anything weird when the Queen of Blades is around, but when the Queen of Blades dies or her power is no longer as strong as before, that is the time for them to rise up.
Of course, Leng Xiyao is not worried about this, because the heroes under her are almost all linked to the system. With the guarantee of the system, rebellion will definitely not exist.
"Okay, I'll choose two." After thinking about it, Leng Xiyao chose the second option.
This fearless charge is somewhat similar to the 'mass frenzy' that she unlocked before but did not click on. However, that mass frenzy is only a rare skill, while this long live charge is immortal-level. The difference is that one can only affect the units around it, while the other can affect the entire tribe, and it will not consume Leng Xiyao's spiritual energy. However, the negative effect of reducing defense really makes people dare not release it easily.
Overall, this skill is not that powerful. It is almost equivalent to giving defense to attack and speed. It is not very useful for ordinary units, but if it is a poison explosion.
Following Leng Xiyao's choice, the system added this skill to her skill pool. The description of the skill was not much different from the previous one. The only additional thing was that it told her that this was a skill that could not be upgraded but could evolve.
Skill classification seems to be a feature that comes with this system update. It is almost equivalent to a note, telling her the growth potential of a certain skill in a simple and clear manner.
Currently, most of her skills are at the rare or common level, but there are two immortal-level skills. One is the Fearless Charge she just acquired, and the other is a skill that has existed from the beginning - Heart of the Swarm.
