Abyssal Wanderer

"If it doesn't work, let's start from the difficulty of depth 1?"

After the fifteenth light speed failure, Christie's personality image also appeared in the safe house. She crossed her arms and tilted her head to look at Jiang Zhou, who was obviously already in a state of excitement, and persuaded him helplessly.

At this moment, Jiang Zhou's finger has hovered on the "No" option of the "Do you want to choose to reduce the difficulty" pop-up window for the fifteenth time, hesitating.

Seeing this, Christie continued to persuade:

"After all, the strength of the depth 1 of Theseus's path is originally biased towards support. As for the positive ability... I can only say that the future is promising. Without the cooperation of others, it is a bit difficult to survive in depth 1. There is no need to embarrass yourself like this."

When she said this, her tone was very sincere, but the more sincere her tone was, the more Jiang Zhou felt embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just want to test my limit... Don't worry, I have my own rhythm..."

As Jiang Zhou said this, he gritted his teeth and clicked "No".

In an instant, the simulated scene was built again with him as the center - whether it was an illusion or because it had been loaded too many times, Jiang Zhou felt that the surrounding scene was generated much faster than before.

[Mission Objective: Survive for 30 minutes or escape to a safe area]

With a "beep", this mission objective first occupied his entire field of vision, and then quickly shrank into a clear countdown fixed in the upper left corner of his field of vision.

"Huh--"

After a long breath, Jiang Zhou stepped out of the safe house again, and the countdown began to flow.

How should I put it... Although it was a failed experience of dying at the speed of light, it was not completely without gain.

First and foremost, after "dying" fifteen times, he can now be completely sure that he has become much weaker after losing Liao Qi.

Whether it is intuition, reaction speed, tactical choice, or even battlefield imagination... Compared with the time when he was connected to Liao Qi, a controllable element, his level has seriously declined.

Many of the previous encounters were not as dangerous as his first dive, but he would be easily defeated by those opponents.

This is of course due to the performance gap - after Liao Qi was strengthened by the "Ikaros Path", the increase in brain computing power can be applied to Jiang Zhou - but he thinks that the more important thing is the change in thinking.

Liao Qi's instinctive judgment of danger, tactical choices when facing life and death, and the fierceness trained in street fights, and even the self-destructive tendency in his body, will affect the fighting style. And when the performance of both sides is almost the same, this little difference will completely rewrite the final victory or defeat.

Now looking back, there were several times when he was fighting against simulated malicious programs because he was too cautious and did not decisively exchange injuries for injuries, and missed the only chance to win.

"If you say I am not this material -"

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help sighing.

To be honest, I am actually a person who seeks stability, and I am always used to planning things before taking action. As long as things go beyond his plan, it is easy for him to lose his mind. Although he can occasionally have some quick wits, in fact, the essence is to urgently plan a short-term plan and then execute it.

But once he gets to the encounter where the rhythm is calculated by seconds or even microseconds, his brain is completely overloaded and his body stops working.

As for Jim Leiter, who is now a controllable factor, he is not much different from himself in this regard. It's just that Jim will be more radical when making plans, but he is not as resolute as himself when executing plans, and he is prone to looking ahead and behind.

And this is why, even though he now has the assistance of Jim Leiter, the adjuster of Depth 2, he still keeps losing in the simulation scene of Depth 2 - at least in terms of combat style, Jim's help is not as strong as Liao Qi's.

Of course, his combat style is also suitable for other scenarios. For example, a civilized society where the law can still barely operate - if he does his job in Liao Qi's style, he will probably go to jail in a few days.

However, it was precisely because he could clearly perceive the difference that Jiang Zhou could not help but secretly feel frightened - the Janus program's enhancement of humans has really reached an extremely terrifying level.

At present, it is just a controllable factor, and its complement to the mind has reached such an impact. What if more people are connected?

Five people, ten people, hundreds of people, thousands of people, ten thousand people, hundreds of millions of people...

Jiang Zhou even found it difficult to imagine that when more people are connected together, when everyone's mind, intelligence, computing power, and perspective are fully integrated, what heights humans can reach and what achievements they can accomplish.

At present, he can only be sure of one thing, that is, if this day really comes, then human society will definitely become an unprecedented form.

As for whether it is prosperity or destruction, he dare not assert.

[Heat source detected, marked]

Just as Jiang Zhou was thinking this, the sensor drone he had launched before sent back a message.

"Hmm..."

He nodded slightly, as if thanking the drone, and then waved his hands, and all kinds of drones hidden nearby started up according to his command.

After dying more than ten times, he finally realized where his advantages lay.

His combat awareness was extremely weak, and his reaction speed, shooting skills, and physical strength were ridiculously poor.

As the adjuster of Theseus' path, he should not rush up to compete with the enemy in performance or millimeter accuracy. Instead, he should use his powerful multi-line control ability, far beyond the ordinary people's spatial perception, and the imagination of being able to substitute vision into the drone sensor, and completely become a drone command platform.

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@@书@@吧!! Update!

This time before he conducted simulated training, he replaced all his portable data with various drones to try a new combat mode.

"Then..."

Jiang Zhou controlled nine armed drones at the same time, gradually approaching the previously detected target from nine different directions.

Nine drones are actually not his upper limit. After all, he still has Jim's brain to help process a lot of information. But considering that Christie has been watching his training outside, he thinks it's better to keep a low profile.

And Jim also has his own things to do at the moment, so it's better not to add burden to himself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou launched an attack at the same time.

"Avenge the previous shame..."

He sneered.

Five minutes later...

Jiang Zhou was forced to return to the safe house again, and a prompt appeared in front of him again.

[You have been killed by the malicious program Urban Pruner, and your survival time exceeds 56.2% of the testers of the same level. Do you choose to reduce the difficulty? ]

"It doesn't count this time! How can you suddenly appear from the ceiling while cleaning the battlefield!"

As soon as he came back, he shouted angrily and asked for a no, and Christie standing next to him couldn't help laughing.

"Not bad... This time is a big improvement."

After laughing, she still praised. (End of this chapter)
