Chapter 222 Extreme Operation Immortal Blocks the Way
Chapter 222 Extreme Operation Immortal Blocks the Way
Xiao Jie stared at the cave entrance above his head, thinking about how to break it.
The location of this entrance is really awkward, and it is difficult to jump up even if you have high martial arts skills.
How about cutting down trees and making a wood pile?
No, too much wood is needed, and it is not enough. I don’t have any building skills, so I can only pile them up mindlessly. Even if I use up all the durability of my knife, I still can’t collect so much wood.
It's a pity that I don't know how to build a mechanical device or a carpenter. It seems that the craftsman skill has a blueprint for building a ladder...
How about using a knife to cut some footholds in the wall?
Xiao Jie took a look at the rock wall and felt that it was a bit unrealistic, but he couldn't help but give it a try.
He picked up the crescent-shaped sword and slashed at the rock wall.
Ding! The knife flicked out directly.
Charge up for a heavy attack!
clang!
System prompt: Your weapon durability -3.
Xiao Jie kept some distance.
Drag the sword and cut!
[Drag your weapon on the ground, continuously accumulating sword power, increasing the damage of your next normal attack, up to 300% weapon damage.]
This skill is a bit like Cut in Two, with the same 300% weapon damage, but it takes a longer time to charge, and the suitable weapon is a long-handled sword.
A slash of sword - clang!
System prompt: Your weapon durability -5.
Looking at the rock wall again, there was not a single damaged spot.
Damn, this obviously won't work.
This is going to be troublesome.
Xiao Jie opened the skill list and kept flipping through it, trying to find a solution to break the impasse. The more he looked, the more disappointed he became. It was useless. Apart from the two skills of Mountain Climbing and Flying Clouds Chasing the Moon, he really couldn't find a way to break the current situation.
The mountain-climbing technique cannot be used, and Feiyun Zhuyue is not high enough. So, can Phantom Invisibility flash upwards?
No... the distance between Feiyun Zhuyue and Phantom Wuzong was still not enough. Phantom Wuzong could only flash ten steps at a time. Even with his own lightness skill, the height was only about thirty meters. The cave entrance had to be at least forty-five meters.
Xiao Jie looked at the rock wall in front of him and felt a little helpless for a moment, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he used his imagination even more.
The physical effects of this game are very powerful. In other words, as long as you operate it properly, you can perform a lot of cool operations.
What if you shoot a few arrows at the cliff and then jump onto the arrows as a landing point?
But even a knife can't cut it, so if I shoot arrows, I'm afraid...
Although he thought so, Xiao Jie still bent his bow and drew his arrow. He aimed at the position between the foot of the mountain and the cave entrance and shot an arrow.
Ding! The arrow flew out directly.
As expected, it still didn't work. Even if he could shoot the arrow into the rock wall, Xiao Jie doubted that he would step on the arrow and break it if he fell on it.
A few more arrows were shot over, but they all bounced away without leaving any trace.
Looking at the arrow spinning and falling in the air, Xiao Jie thought to himself that it would be great if he could stop the arrow in mid-air - wait, stop in mid-air!
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xiao Jie's mind, and he remembered the time when he fought Yin Lingzi. Yin Lingzi attacked him head-on. At that time, he used a big move to freeze the opponent, and Xiao Bailong took the opportunity to shoot several arrows in a row. Didn't those arrows stop in mid-air?
And theoretically, when time stands still, the arrow hovering in the time static domain is also indestructible. If one's operation is good enough and one's reaction is fast enough, perhaps these five seconds will be enough for one to jump again.
The more Xiao Jie thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. Although he felt that this operation was a bit outrageous, it was the only solution he could think of at the moment.
This operation is indeed somewhat difficult.
The arrow must be fixed at the most appropriate position, and there must be no mistakes. The secret of Illusionary Bubble has a cooling time of one hour. Now it is only a few hours before dark, so I must hurry.
Xiao Jie kept calculating the process and timing of this combo in his mind, while moving his position and looking for the distance.
Finally he stopped fifteen meters away from the stone wall.
It should be OK here.
Xiao Jie bent his bow, drew his arrow, and shot an arrow at a height of more than 20 meters above the ground.
Then he immediately used the light skill - Flying Clouds Chasing the Moon!
He jumped into the air, but before he could reach his position, the arrow had already hit the stone wall and began to fall.
No, miscalculation.
There must be enough lead time, and your altitude in the air must overlap with the position where the arrow falls.
It takes about 2.3 seconds for a person to jump to a height of more than meters, but the speed of an arrow falling is much faster, so -
Xiao Jie moved the arrow's landing point to a position about fifty meters away.
An arrow is shot out - flying clouds chase the moon!
When it flew about twenty meters, the arrow had already fallen to the ground.
This time it was better. The closest distance between the person and the arrow was only five meters, but it was a little further from the cave entrance...
The key is that the arrow must be kept horizontal in the air. If it is vertical, it may not be able to serve as a landing point.
Xiao Jie kept organizing his thoughts and calculating over and over in his mind.
Another arrow was shot out - flying clouds chasing the moon!
Ding! The arrow hit the mountain wall and flew backwards while spinning. Xiao Jie also activated the third part of Feiyun Zhuyue - Zhuyuexing!
The whole person sprinted forward, and saw the arrow falling in front of him in mid-air - right now!
Disillusionment!
Xiao Jie suddenly used his ultimate move in mid-air. In an instant, everything within ten steps around him froze, and the arrows froze as well.
Xiao Jie cancelled his 'flying geese' stance and somersaulted to land right on the shaft of the arrow.
Haha, it actually worked!
Xiao Jie was so excited, he could actually succeed, he was really a genius.
But he couldn't afford to delay at this time. The ultimate skill only lasted five seconds. It had taken two seconds from the time it was activated to the time it landed. Once the five seconds were up, the arrow would fall.
Without any hesitation, after taking a deep breath and adjusting the direction, Xiao Jie immediately took off into the air again, chasing the moon like a flying cloud!
As soon as the man flew up, the arrow lost its stagnation effect and fell to the ground, but Xiao Jie took advantage of this short platform period and leaped into the air with all his might.
Step on the wind and rise - directly jump up to 11 or 12 meters high, do a double jump in mid-air, fly across the clouds! Jump up to 11 or 12 meters high again.
At this moment, he was at a height of forty or fifty meters, and could even see the entrance to the cave in front of him. Xiao Jie suddenly launched the third stage - Chasing the Moon!
He stepped into the air behind him, causing a gust of air to appear in the air. Xiao Jie took advantage of the momentum and flew out sideways, but this time he flew a little too high and hit the top of the cave.
At the moment of falling, I pressed W and jumped into the hole by sticking to the edge of the hole.
Haha, finally got in!
Xiao Jie felt his heart pounding. Even he was a little excited about such an extreme operation. Looking down, Xiao Jie let out a long breath. Forty or fifty meters doesn't sound high, but it's as high as more than ten floors. If an ordinary person wanted to get up, he would have no idea where to start, including himself.
The immortal who designed this test was really simple and crude. There was no skill involved at all. It was just a simple one.
By the way, could this stone wall really have been split out by a sword of an immortal?
Fortunately, I passed it, but I don’t know what test will come next.
Xiao Jie had a vague feeling that the next test should be the last one. Generally speaking, things never happen more than three times.
The triple test is just right. With only two tests, I have almost exhausted my abilities. If I were to be given five, seven, or six tests, I would probably fail.
This is not a jigsaw puzzle like the ones in ordinary decryption games. If you are not strong enough, you will not be able to solve it.
With a nervous mood, Xiao Jie walked along the cave. There was no lighting in the cave, but it was still clearly visible. Perhaps it was some kind of magic. There were no monsters blocking the way, and there was not even a fork in the road. He walked all the way to the end of the cave in a bright and clear manner.
It is a rather spacious cave located inside the mountain. In front of it is a bright exit, and light can be seen shining in from the edge of the cave.
Xiao Jie was delighted. These immortals were quite humane. They did not set up any obstacles unless it was a test. He originally thought that he needed to clear a few monsters.
Xiao Jie walked to the cave entrance and could even see the other side of the cave, which looked like a waterfall. Hey, we're here already? Xiao Jie was a little bit unbelievable, but the exit in front of him was not fake.
He then walked straight out of the cave, but unexpectedly, just as he was about to pass through, he bumped into an invisible barrier. Ripples appeared in the air and he could no longer move forward.
Damn, there is actually an air wall.
I knew it wasn’t that simple.
Xiao Jie moved left and right, trying to see if he could find an exit, but the air wall blocked the entire cave, making it impossible to get through.
It seems that there is still a test, but what is the test this time?
Xiao Jie calmed down and looked around patiently. The interior of the cave was very primitive and empty. There was only the cave he came from and the stalactites hanging on the ceiling.
The only traces of human activity are a stone table and two stone benches in the corner of the cave. There is a chessboard carved on the stone table, and two jars of black and white chess pieces are placed next to it.
Huh? There's a chessboard here. Do I need to play chess? Solve a puzzle like the Zhenlong chess game?
Well, this is really the classic immortal style, but who should I play with?
Xiao Jie walked to the chess table, clicked on the stone bench, and his character immediately sat on it.
The moment he sat down.
Suddenly, a Taoist figure in a black robe appeared before my eyes.
Taoist Master Shen Ji (Incarnation): Level 35. HP 3600.
Immortal? No, there is no way an immortal could be so low level.
When I saw the Taoist's title, I immediately realized that he was the clone left behind by the immortal...
The Taoist was quite happy to see Xiao Jie.
Taoist Shen Ji (incarnation): "I have been waiting here for thousands of years, and finally I have found you."
Xiao Jieqi asked, "You have been waiting for me? How did you know I would come?"
"Haha, it's not you I'm waiting for. Or rather, it's not necessarily you. My creator asked me to stay here to stop those with ill intentions. This Tianpu Cave is where the immortals attained enlightenment. Only those who understand the secrets of heaven and are extremely wise are qualified to enter.
If you want to enter the cave, play a round with me. If you can beat me, I will let you in."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that he really wanted to play chess, which was not his strong point.
As for Go, Xiao Jie's understanding is limited to the basic rules and some terminology.
Fortunately, when it comes to Go, you can seek help off the field. If you don’t know how to play, you can just find someone who knows how to play.
"How about it, little friend? Would you like to have a meal? If you don't have the confidence, then you'd better leave immediately."
Xiao Jie hurriedly said, "Master, please wait a moment. I haven't played chess for a long time, so I'm a little rusty. I need to get the feel for it. Master has been waiting for me for thousands of years, so why not wait a little longer?"
"Haha, of course, it's fine, just do as you please."
Without saying anything, Xiao Jie took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected.
Xiao Jie smiled and said, "Hey, Xingwen, did you miss me?"
A speechless voice came from the other end of the phone, "Fuck, you still remember to contact me, I haven't heard from you for months, are you going to open your studio? I haven't received the balance of the smart plug-in I sold you last time."
"Don't mention it. Something happened. Han Luo died. The studio is temporarily closed."
The other side immediately fell silent.
Zhang Xingwen is Xiao Jie's business partner. Although their relationship cannot be said to be as close as brothers, they have been dealing with each other for several years and have some friendship. He also knows Han Luo and has had drinks together.
"What exactly happened?" Zhang Xingwen asked dejectedly.
"It's a bit complicated, but that's not what I'm talking to you about. I've run into some trouble and need your technical support."
"Haha, I finally figured it out. Tell me, is it a script or a cheat?"
Xiao Jie has always hated things like footstep plug-ins, but when it comes to playing games, auxiliary plug-ins and other programs are still indispensable. As a studio, it is natural to have its own technical personnel.
This guy is a solo developer in a high-tech company. When he has nothing to do, he makes some extra money by working on some plug-in scripts.
Xiao Jie met him in the game and later did a lot of business. When Wuji Studio was doing booming business, it made a lot of money, so naturally it would not be too frugal in spending in this regard. If one wants to conquer the top-level dungeons and get the world's first kill, these technical supports are also indispensable.
This old man has sold a lot of similar things to Xiao Jie, all of which are very professional products.
But since the studio was disbanded, we haven’t been in touch for a long time.
"Not a script or anything like that. Have you done any research on AI for playing chess? Do you have an AlphaGo or an OmegaCat? Make one for me."
Zhang Xingwen asked curiously, "Why do you want that thing? You don't want AI to help you play games, do you? Let me make it clear first, playing chess and playing games are two different things. The operating logic is completely different, but it's not completely possible."
"Stop, stop, stop. It's not that complicated. I just want to play chess with people. I can't play it myself, so I'll build an AI to compete with me."
"Oh my god, I don't think it's a big deal. Why don't you just download a chess app?"
"No, this guy is an expert. I'm afraid that ordinary chess software will be too difficult for him. Just tell me, do you have AlphaGo in your hands?"
"AlphaGo doesn't have it. That thing is a thing of the past. The speed of AI updates and iterations is faster than you can imagine. Now all major companies are developing more advanced artificial intelligence. Our company has also developed one, 'Super Phantom Spirit', which is definitely more powerful than AlphaGo."
PS: (Thanks to the book friend Shengyu Nanguo for the reward. The update is now on the agenda and is expected to be added before the end of the month).
