Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 179: Test your skills

The Cucumber Skull Crusher in front of him was a little bigger than the one that Malu met in the abandoned warehouse. He was already close to a year old, and the cucumbers on the vines were as thick as his forearm.

 Its attack power and HP have been enhanced. The attack power has increased by 1 point, reaching 12 points, and the HP has increased even more, jumping from 29 to 52, which is almost doubled.

 It is the kind of opponent that has certain strength but the challenge is not too difficult. It is suitable for testing new skills.

Ma Lu activated the weather forecast he had just acquired and circled a 12×12 area on the checkerboard map. Three options immediately popped up on the circular screen.

 They are heavy fog, heavy rain and hail respectively.

 However, there is no further explanation behind the options, which makes Ma Lu a little confused about the specific effects of each weather.

He could only judge based on common sense. Since the four members of the team were also within the skill range, Malu first ruled out extreme weather like hail.

The remaining heavy fog and heavy rain, based on Ma Lu’s experience as a chess player for many years, the former may provide vision or concealment buffs, and is more suitable for use when there are few against many and are at a disadvantage.

 Now there is only one enemy, which is obviously not suitable.

 So Malu finally chose Heavy Rain.

Ma Lu did not expect that the effect of the weather change would come so quickly. He had not had time to alert the three witches under his command.

The Bird of Paradise ignored the raindrops falling on it and took out a waterproof bag as quickly as possible and put the Book of Recovery inside.

Skylark covered his head and looked around, trying to find a place to take shelter from the rain. He was surprised to find that not only was there not a drop of rain on the grass less than ten meters away from them, but there was also sunlight shining on it. He couldn't help but be stunned.

And the moment he clicked on the option, the originally sunny sky suddenly became cloudy, with lightning and thunder.

Skylark ran two steps towards the grass behind him, then stopped when he found that no one was following him, and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you taking shelter from the rain?"

“It’s already wet.” Bird of Paradise said calmly.

Skylark looked down at her clothes. Indeed, in just a few seconds, she had been doused from top to bottom, and the rain slid down her skin, making it cool.

  Heavy rain—movement is reduced by 30%, shooting accuracy is reduced by 20%, water attribute attackers' attack power is increased by 50%, electricity attribute attackers' attack power is increased by 30%, and fire attribute attackers' attack power is reduced by 50%.

Cerberus looked at the Skull Crusher at the foot of the hill and said, "This time it's my turn to take action."

Ma Lu didn’t know much about the music of this plane, so he didn’t know what song she was playing. He could only hear that the tune was cheerful, but also had an inexplicable hint of sadness.

Ma Lu was currently busy studying the new weather icons that appeared on the chessboard map.

Then a heavy rain fell without warning, hitting Malu's armor, making a dense ding-dong sound.

  Note: The above effects take effect on both the enemy and ourselves at the same time.

 The three of them, Skylark and Cerberus, turned into drowned rats in an instant.

Cerberus was the most relaxed among the three. Although she was drenched by the heavy rain, her mood was not affected at all. She still stood there with her hands in the pockets of her jacket, still in the rain. A whistle began.

"No, you should wait until next time." Malu said after reading the explanation.

“Ha, why?!” The purple-haired girl stopped doing it now and shouted, “You must have forgotten who killed the big cucumber in the warehouse last time, right?”

"I know, but this time the situation is different." Faced with the Skull Crusher Cerberus, the Cerberus is no longer restrained, but in heavy rain, the fire attribute attacker's attack power will be reduced by 50%, which means Cerberus 12 points There are only 6 points of attack power left.

On the contrary, Skylark's Color Changer double-barreled shotgun can be switched to the electric attribute and receive a 30% bonus. This is also one of the advantages of this weapon. When the number of people in the team is insufficient, Skylark is equivalent to having two attributes in one person. output.

 So Malu looked at the first-generation poster girl again, "Get ready to fight, use the electric attribute to attack."

"Eh? In such bad weather?" Skylark's face changed slightly.

“A battle can happen at any time, so of course you have to be ready for a fight at any time.”

"It seems... like this." Yunque tilted his head and thought for a while, suddenly enlightened.

 Then he obediently knelt down on one knee and readied the shotgun.

 However, this time because she was far away and affected by the heavy rain, her first two shots missed.

 It was not until the third bullet that the bullet hit the target. The Skullcrusher's defense was only 2 points, while the Skylark's attack reached 10 points due to the bonus of heavy rain.

 So this shot caused 8 points of damage. The Skullcrusher also discovered the enemy in the distance and began to rush towards this side with claws and teeth.

However, its original speed was not as fast as the running water radish, and it was affected by the heavy rain, which reduced its movement speed by 30%, causing its movement to look very slow.

But Yunque was obviously a little nervous. The heavy rain blurred her vision. She had to keep wiping the rain off her face with her hands, and accidentally dropped the bullet on the ground.

 Fortunately, she picked it up quickly, and by the time she loaded the bullet, the smelt Skullcrusher had only moved 7 and a half squares.

Skylark raised her gun again. Since the distance between the two parties was shortened, she did not miss the target again with this shot, and luckily triggered the accompanying bleeding effect.

 The Skullcrusher lost 16 points of blood at once, and he was still losing blood.

By the time Skylark fired the third shot, the distance between the two sides was only two spaces, but the HP of the Skull Crusher was only 18 points, and it was still decreasing.

However, it was too late for Skylark to fire the fourth shot. Ma Lu issued an order for everyone to retreat back and stay out of the range of the heavy rain.

By the time the Skullcrusher also chased after him, Cerberus had already recovered its attack power. He and the Bird of Paradise went up to kill each other, knocking off the remaining 13 blood points of the Skullcrusher, ending the battle.

  After the war, Malu gained a total of 16 experience points, 3,000 holy silver coins and 21 atonement points. He also figured out the function of a kind of weather.

There is no doubt that heavy rain weather is more suitable for team members with water and thunder attribute attacks. It can also effectively restrain activated plants with fire attribute attacks such as flaming bell peppers.

 All in all, taking advantage of different weather conditions can make combat easier.

 After the battle, the four of them returned to the grid with the recovery flag to rest. At the same time, the Bird of Paradise also raised a bonfire.

As soon as the flames ignited, Skylark immediately came up and shook his head from side to side, as if to shake off the water droplets from his hair.

The Bird of Paradise first took off his shoes and socks and squeezed them out of the water. Then he found a tree fork aside and put them on the fire to dry.

 But the most heroic one was Cerberus, who took off all her wet clothes.
