In the bar, two men sitting opposite each other looked at each other. One raised his eyes and looked straight up, while the other had a calm smile on his face, his eyes full of mystery.
Staring at the man named Heathcliff in front of him, Luo Zhen expressed silence on what he just said.
On the contrary, Asuna asked the question as if she was confused.
"Why do you say it's only half true? Captain?"
Asuna asked.
In this regard, Heathcliff was not stingy.
"Let's use an analogy."
Heathcliff did not give an explanation directly, but spoke in a magnetic voice as if giving a lesson to a student.
"For example, in this game, if the upper limit of the player's character is set to level 50, will it be able to deal with a level 100 monster?"
There is no suspense about this question at all.
"Of course we can't deal with it." Asuna replied without hesitation: "In SAO, level represents the gap. If the gap is 50 levels, then it means that the player is wearing the highest level equipment and using the strongest skills. , it cannot weaken the HP value of the target monster, because the monster's defense has far exceeded the player's attack, so it cannot cause damage."
"That's right." Heathcliff nodded, and while acknowledging Asuna's answer, he also said: "In SAO, the limit of level-skipping challenges is within level 20. After level 20, there is no chance of winning. Because there is an absolutely insurmountable gap in numerical values.”
At this point, Heathcliff suddenly changed his tone.
"But the same applies to level 50 players dealing with level 10 monsters, right?"
Heathcliff's question also has no suspense.
How can a level 50 player not be able to deal with a level 10 monster
This is a result that even the stupidest person can calculate.
However, Asuna understood the meaning of Heathcliff's words.
"In other words, if the upper limit of the familiar's strength is like a level 50 player, it is destined to be unable to deal with a level 100 monster, but it can definitely be used to deal with a level 10 monster, right?"
Hearing this, Heathcliff smiled.
This is what Heathcliff wants to say, and it also explains why the Rainbow Butterfly is so powerful now.
"Let's assume that the upper limit set for President Luo Zhen's familiar in the game system is 50. When its strength is 1, its skills cannot be effective against the defending boss on the first floor, but when its strength is 50 At this time, although the skill cannot be effective against the defending boss on the 50th floor, it will definitely be effective against the defending boss on the first floor, right?"
Heathcliff said this.
In other words…
"Perhaps, in the setting plan of the sao game designer, the limit of Rainbow Butterfly is at the 50th floor. If it goes higher, its skills will not be effective against monsters, at least against the defense layer with high resistance and patience. It won’t work on the boss, but it will definitely work on the guarding boss on the floor below.”
Heathcliff explained smoothly.
"And the game designers definitely don't want a familiar to be strong enough to deal with the boss on the defensive floor. In that case, the players will lose the meaning of existence, but it is impossible for the familiar to be so extreme that it can't even deal with the early monsters, otherwise The familiar has no meaning of growth or even existence. Therefore, when the game designer designs the familiar, the original intention must be to make it gradually become stronger along with the players, but this strength has a limit."
In the view of game designers, even if a player conquers a familiar with a limit of 50, the familiar will definitely need to grow slowly before it reaches its limit.
In this growth process, according to the judgment of the game designer, the familiar should not grow too fast, so that it will show the strength that can only be found in the later stages of the game before it reaches the later stages of the game, destroying the early monsters. ravaged.
But Luo Zhen did it.
Luo Zhen relied on his own training and ability to develop the potential of his familiars extremely quickly, so much so that it far exceeded the expectations of the game designer. It reached the strength it should have in the later stage, causing ravage to the monsters in the early stage.
This is the reason why the familiar, whose direct combat ability is not strong and who should only be able to provide some assistance, but is unable to even defeat the boss on the defensive floor, can be so powerful and become a legend.
This is what Heathcliff said is half true.
"The game designer did set an upper limit for the familiar, but you still broke the game designer's expectations and made the familiar grow beyond expectations, reaching a point where even the current guardian boss cannot ignore it."
Heathcliff looked at Luo Zhen and said this as if he wanted to see through it.
"Presumably, President Luo Zhen can also understand, right?"
Luo Zhen just shrugged at Heathcliff's words.
It was precisely because of his ability to understand that Luo Zhen was able to find new ways to cultivate rainbow butterflies and let them grow quickly.
Of course, Heathcliff's explanation still made Luo Zhen think highly of him.
The man in front of me has a very in-depth understanding of the game SAO, and even has an extremely rich knowledge of the game.
This kind of game knowledge is not just about the information in the game, but also the fundamental system that makes up the game.
In other words, Heathcliff's knowledge and understanding of the game is unmatched by others.
After knowing this, Luo Zhen also glanced at Asuna, who was a little stunned.
(Presumably, Asuna’s game knowledge was taught by this man, right?)
That’s why Asuna has transformed so much in just four months. She also respects Heathcliff and is willing to stand aside and even speak and do things for him. It’s because for Asuna , Heathcliff is not only the boss in the game guild, but also the teacher who teaches him the knowledge of this game.
Perhaps, in terms of understanding of SAO, even Luo Zhen is not as good as Heathcliff.
Even Luo Zhen didn't know that in Heathcliff's heart, his ability to develop game familiars was equally astonishing.
Because of this, Heathcliff wanted to see Luo Zhen.
So Heathcliff said.
"President Luo Zhen." Heathcliff said shockingly: "Would you like to have a duel with me?"
These words suddenly changed the atmosphere in the entire bar.
"duel?"
Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes.
"Duel... duel...!?"
Asuna also looked shocked.
But Heathcliff had no intention of changing his mind. He just stared at Luo Zhen closely. There was no provocation or calculation in his eyes, but only quiet observation and exploration.
"Of course, you can refuse."
Heathcliff said this calmly.
Luo Zhen's eyes flickered as he met Heathcliff's gaze. He did not immediately agree, let alone refuse immediately, and remained silent.
Heathcliff was not in a hurry, and just waited quietly.
soon after…
"Can."
Luo Zhen finally agreed.
"However, I will bring my familiar."
Luo Zhen was actually preparing to use all his strength.
Heathcliff did not feel unhappy, but was happy to see this situation and smiled.
"That's natural."
A few words decided an unknown duel.
A tense atmosphere immediately appeared in the air.
Asuna, who had no way to stop the duel, could only remain silent and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
