Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 23 The routine takes shape

 Ma Lu is really busy right now.

The traveler's bracelet kept beeping, and 54 blessings were sent out in just three minutes. Some Malus didn't even have time to take a closer look, because the 60-second countdown was almost over.

 He could only scan it roughly as quickly as possible and then leave it to his intuition.

Three minutes later, 17 new blessings appeared in the character status bar. In addition to the 29 blessings obtained in three previous batches, this group of vampire long-tailed weasels contributed a total of 45 blessings to the team.

 There are 15 blessings related to basic attributes, 19 blessings related to telekinesis ability, and 11 blessings whose meaning is unclear or difficult to trigger.

Most of these blessings are blue, and there are 3 purple ones, namely:

 【The Last Iron Wall: If a team member's shield is damaged, there is a 33% chance of completely resisting a damage】

  【Charge when attacked: When team members adopt a defensive posture in battle, each time they receive an attack, their strength increases by 10%. This effect can be accumulated and will be reset after launching an attack】

 【Bleeding does not stop: The whole team attacks with a 33% chance of triggering the bleeding state, and the target's bleeding volume increases by 100% when in the bleeding state】

 【Last Iron Wall】and 【Bleeding Flow】are superior substitutes of Blue Blessing 【Last Resistance】 and 【Local Bleeding】.

 The effect has been increased from the original 15% to 33%. Although you still have to gamble on your face, it is easier to trigger and the practicality has been greatly improved.

 The appearance of the purple blessing [Charge after attack] solves the problem of insufficient firepower of the team.

With these three purple blessings as the core, coupled with some blue blessings, a defensive counterattack routine that only Poch can master has been initially established.

Ma Lu did not rush to continue hunting, but first worked out the next battle plan with Boqi, and also tested the newly acquired blessings.

“Are you sure you want to integrate my telekinesis ability into the battle?”

Pochi had just single-handedly fought off a group of more than 40 vampire long-tailed weasels. At this moment, he was still in a state of excitement and his hands were trembling.

 But once he heard that Malu planned to develop his telekinesis ability, he calmed down again.

 It’s not that he has never had such an idea. In fact, no one hopes to make up for his fatal shortcomings more than he does.

The teacher at school also encouraged him, saying that there is no useless ability, it is just that he has not found a suitable occasion. However, the reality is cruel.

No matter how hard he tried and racked his brains, he could never figure out what role that thin layer of water shield could play.

That thing has no defense at all, and the water in the desert is very precious, and he cannot allow it to be wasted.

Ma Lu was still very interested, "How much telekinesis does it take to create a water shield?"

"The water shield is not very laborious to make. Although it is a shield, it is actually just a shield in shape and does not have any defensive power. You saw it at the Bear Bar last time. It can be easily penetrated with a fork, so The consumption is also very small.”

Pochi recalled, "I once made thousands of water shields in succession, and I only used half of my telekinesis."

This battery life level far exceeded Ma Lu’s expectations and made him more confident in his next plan.

“How many water shields can you create at one time?”

"It depends on the size of the shield." Boqi said, "I can only make one large shield as tall as a person, but if it is a small round shield worn on the arm, I should be able to make three in one go. ”

 “What if it’s a thumb-sized mini shield?”

“Well, seven sides... Mainly to keep them suspended at the designated position requires my concentration. If there are more, I won’t be able to take care of them.”

　　【The Last Iron Wall】The complete damage-free effect brought by this purple blessing seems to be very strong, but in fact the conditions for it to take effect are very harsh.

The shield needs to be damaged, which is difficult to achieve in ordinary battles. Once this condition is met, it often means that the situation is very critical. The combatant loses the shield. Even if the injury-free effect is triggered by luck, the next battle will become more difficult. .

  More like a life-saving trump card that requires a face bet.

 But it unexpectedly fits in with Pochi's telekinesis ability. The biggest problem with Pochi’s water shield is that it has no defense. As long as it is attacked, it will be damaged. However, because of this, it can easily meet the conditions for the effectiveness of [The Last Iron Wall].

As for the loss of the water shield, it has almost no impact on Boqi. He can immediately create another one, no, more than one.

Ma Lu felt that he had found the correct way to open [The Last Iron Wall].

 “You can create as many water shields as possible in battle going forward.”

"Um?"

"One water shield only has a 33% chance of blocking an opponent's attack, but if two water shields are released at a time, the probability of avoiding damage increases to 54%. If there are three water shields, the probability of avoiding damage will be 71%...7. This The number can reach 95%!

“In this way, every defense can basically trigger damage avoidance stably. Even if your face is really bad and it only reaches the remaining 5%, with your now enhanced reflexes, you can still dodge most of the attacks before they arrive.

"In addition, these water shields can also trigger another purple blessing [charge when hit] when being hit. If each water shield provides you with a 10% increase in strength, then in theory you can increase your strength by one hit at most. 70% power is simply cheating.”

 In order to prove the feasibility of this plan and help Boqi adapt to the new fighting method, Malu also developed a set of training methods specifically for him.

Although Boqi himself had doubts about such a strategy that was inexplicably focused on beatings, in the end he was convinced by Malu's words.

"I have strengthened your water shield. If you want to continue moving forward and hunt rarer prey, you must make good use of your telekinesis ability."

 As a hunter, of course you want to challenge more powerful prey, not only because of the generous rewards and fame, but this is also the gene engraved in the bones of every hunter.

Even though it is dangerous, hunting groups of all sizes are still marching towards the depths of the desert without hesitation.

Pochi is certainly no exception.

What's more, he had vowed to follow in that man's footsteps.

But after thinking about it, Boqi still expressed his concerns, "Even if I am willing to use my telekinesis ability, there is not so much water here for me to consume."

The water source Boqi brought when going out this time was enough for two people to drink for two days. However, if it was used for fighting, it would probably only be enough to last for one or two days.

“Don’t worry, of course I have considered this issue, otherwise the main pile bleed effect would not be amidst all the abnormal conditions.”

Ma Lu blinked at him.

“The water content in blood is as high as 85%, which should allow you to make a shield.”

 The last of the three purple blessings [bleeding] is used here.

"Blood?" Boqi was stunned, but later he had to admit that Malu's entire plan was indeed quite feasible.

With the last obstacle gone, Boqi finally agreed to join Malu's special training plan.

 This training lasted for a full two hours.

 Ma Lu was able to figure out a lot of how to use blessings and their matching effects, and it also allowed Bo Qi to gradually adapt to and master the so-called routines.

This defense-accumulation-counterattack style of play is not complicated, and it is not difficult for a diligent and studious top student like Boqi to get started.

The more he practices Pochi, the more he realizes the amazing potential it contains, allowing him to realize the huge role of telekinesis in combat.

 This was something he had never felt in the past seventeen years, and it made Poch determined.

 “I think we can go a little further.”
