Chapter 382 Chapter 382: “Fallen Chronicles II” Part 1

2/4

Renji wasn’t saying he was addicted to the game or itching to play it himself, although he was indeed quite interested in this type of strategy game.

Mainly, he just couldn’t stand the noob’s gameplay anymore.

To save his own blood pressure, Renji was forced to step in.

On the other side, the chubby guy, who was furious that he couldn’t replicate his previous brilliant operation, was stunned for a moment when he heard what Renji said, and then felt a bit amused.

What did he mean? Did he think he could play better than me, a veteran player who had been playing since the server opened?

In the gaming world, this often happens. Many “armchair players” who have only watched a few games or haven’t even played once themselves, always develop an attitude towards some masters, as if they could do it too if they tried.

They say things like, “It is just about being able to use your hands and brain correctly; that is all.” Although the out-of-town youth didn’t show it on his face, the chubby guy could still sense that Renji meant exactly that.

Fine! Then you come and try it! The chubby guy handed the phone to Renji without a second word.

However, considering that they might still be working together at the convenience store for a while, the chubby guy kindly reminded him, “Bro, don’t be fooled by this game. It may look like there are only a few simple operations, but when you actually start playing, you’ll find there are many tricks to it.”

“Since it’s your first time playing, I suggest you don’t start with the high difficulty level I just played. You can try starting from level one of the contract to get a feel for it and familiarize yourself with each operator and monster.”

The chubby guy had barely finished half of his sentence when he saw Renji slightly adjust his operator configuration and directly click to start the battle on level 18, which he had just failed to beat no matter how hard he tried.

Okay.

The chubby guy twitched the corner of his mouth.

He just loved this kind of madness.

He was already looking forward to Renji’s upcoming fumbling, brain overload, and being pushed all the way by the monster waves, which are all the usual newbie experiences.

Then, in less than half a minute, exclamations from the chubby guy kept coming from the convenience store late at night.

“Wait! What the hell? This cliff terrain isn’t just for show? You can actually push monsters off it!?”

“Why did you put the special ability mages so far forward! Holy shit! This skill angle can actually deal damage like this for free?”

“That vanguard can’t hold on anymore, hurry and heal him with the priest operators! If you don’t heal him now, he’ll… wait, you unlocked his lifesteal?”

“It’s over, it’s over! The archer won’t be able to turn his skills around in time. Last time I also… huh? Why did you bring his first skill? Oh no! I told you not to mess with my configuration. Now the damage is even more insufficient! Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Why are you healing the archer at full health? Uh, WTF!? How can the archer’s first skill damage be so high?? It directly one-shot the elite monster??”

As the chubby guy watched in astonishment, Renji, who had just blocked the second-to-last wave of attacks, explained, “The priest’s healing not only restores health but also provides an attack power buff. Giving it to a high-frequency output role like an archer can greatly increase their damage.”

Wait that is true…

Although the chubby guy’s technique and thinking were poor, he had been playing for a long time. After Renji’s explanation, he quickly understood. Many strategy guide uploaders had also used this “support-carry-output” method to achieve explosive effects.

But Renji’s operation just now was far from that simple, as the chubby guy had watched the whole process.

Because his archer’s first skill is a passive skill that cannot be actively controlled, to trigger it at the right time, you either have to rely on luck or calculate the timeline.

The so-called timeline is based on the monsters’ spawn time and movement speed, predicting in advance when and where the monsters will appear. This is something that only appears in very high-end strategy guides.

The chubby guy wanted to think that Renji got lucky, but Renji precisely calculated the health of that vanguard operator, thus saving a priest’s blessing, and combined with the archer’s first skill, achieved this effect.

This was obviously designed, with each operation linking together, creating the current perfect performance of “0 enemy leaks”.

Soon after, as the “Battle Victory” icon appeared, followed by a golden “S+” rating popping up, the chubby guy gasped in surprise, too excited to even feel ecstatic, and looked at Renji as if he was seeing a monster.

Miasma Contract Level 18

S+?

What does this mean?

As a player who had been playing since the server opened, his best contract record so far was only “A-” on the fifteenth level, and that was when he managed to snatch a fan benefit from a certain technically skilled top streamer.

And now… He was easily surpassed by an outsider, a convenience store part-timer who only earns 155 yen an hour??

What the hell!

“Bro, you… you really haven’t played this game before?” The chubby guy asked cautiously. After Renji’s gameplay just now, his attitude towards Renji had taken a 180-degree turn, or at least a 90-degree turn.

“No.” Renji answered truthfully.

Then, seeing the chubby guy’s expression was too incredible, Renji thought for a moment and added, “But… I should have played something similar on the computer before.”

When Renji said this, the chubby guy finally breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he really couldn’t accept it.

But even so, he was still amazed by Renji.

“No, bro, if you haven’t played this game, how do you know the skills and values of the dozens of characters on the field?”

“Didn’t I just watch you play for a while? It’s not hard to remember, it’s quite easy, just watch it a few times and you’ll pretty much understand.”

Heh!?…

The chubby guy tried to see a pretentious expression on Renji’s face, but unfortunately, the young man really had a sincere and serious expression, and didn’t look like he was bragging at all.

Okay.

But he still had a question about the last wave.

“Bro, why did you let that vanguard die first in the last wave? It’s a waste of combat power, I really don’t understand that!”

“Oh, you mean that time? Because I calculated that the vanguard’s skill cooldown, relying on auto-recovery, wouldn’t make it in time for the boss in the last wave. But if you let her die once first, then use the mechanism of being able to directly release her ultimate after reviving, you can be two seconds faster, just in time for the boss’s appearance.”

After hearing Renji’s explanation, the chubby guy finally understood.

But soon, he showed Renji a somewhat indescribable strange expression.

How should I put it… Deliberately letting your subordinate die to the monsters just to get the skills ready two seconds earlier, it feels a bit, uh… cruel. It’s also the first time I’ve heard of such a thing.

Fortunately, Brother Renji doesn’t play this game, otherwise the characters he trains would definitely have a miserable time, right?

In the chubby guy’s mind, an image suddenly appeared of Renji using all kinds of strange methods to squeeze the characters and finally clearing the highest difficulty.
