Chapter 207-2: The Time Is Not Yet, The Sword Stays Sheathed (2) |
Before closing the conversation, guest No. 1 offered him a suggestion.
He said that going to the library to study war knowledge was an effective means of growth to improve one’s own ability.
But when confronting the Earthmind Bully, he still had to consider his own command habit problem. A large part of why he was calculated against by the Earthmind Bully came from habit.
So try to change his command thinking, establish multiple sets of command logic, and switch between them.
He also said it was possible to try adding logical contradictions during command.
God King was puzzled by this. What were logical contradictions during command?
Guest No. 1’s answer was to force the Evil Eye into a decision-making dilemma that could not be logically self-consistent through an unanalysable logic-paradox structure.
Simply put, use form to force the Evil Eye into a state of over-analysis.
In response to the inquiry, guest No. 1 also said that the Evil Eye was always in a ‘war analysis’ state during campaigns. Every move of the player legion could not escape the Evil Eye’s perceptual observation, and whenever the players made a move, the Evil Eye would analyze a series of possible actions behind that move.
The Evil Eye would likewise analyze this abnormal move, trying to find a reasonable logical explanation, but in fact this order was meaningless.
This was logical contradiction and over-analysis.
The Evil Eye’s strongest point was its analysis and big data capability. As a commander, one had to intersperse logical contradictions and normal orders in the command process, keeping the Evil Eye in a constant state of over-analysis to reduce the battlefield pressure brought by the Evil Eye.
Guest No. 1’s explanation made God King suddenly enlightened.
He realized he had already fallen into a thinking trap. Every order he issued had a purpose. Even the smokescreens he created for the Earthmind Evil Spirit hid his explicit purpose behind them.
This made it easy for the Evil Eye to analyze his concrete thoughts.
Only by establishing multiple sets of command logic and then interspersing illogical orders could he make his intentions harder for the Evil Eye to grasp.
This exchange made God King’s confusion vanish.
With just a few words of guidance, guest No. 1 was like a bolt of lightning that tore apart the chaotic night in his mind.
The command technique improvement books he had studied for months could not compare with this moment of enlightenment.
The inner shock and clarity surged like a tide. The seed of wisdom buried in his heart broke through the soil at this moment and blossomed brilliantly.
At this moment, he could only use the word “thanks” to express his inner gratitude.
He thought of spending money, but considering the other party used a race’s highest super-AI, using money to express thanks would simply insult the other party.
In the end, he could only say this: if in the future you obtain qualification and lack sacrificial power, just come to me. My brothers in the guild and I will take you to level up.
This was the only effective way of thanks God King could think of.
Guest No. 1’s frequent activity on the forum proved that he greatly longed for Monster World and was eager to obtain game qualification.
So compared to money in reality, a promise for the future might work better.
In this campaign, guest No. 1 also taught him a lesson about potential uses of basic functions on the battlefield.
First was map coordinates.
In the map function, wherever the player’s eyes sweep on the map, the coordinates of that point can be obtained.
Guest No. 1’s command mode was based on map coordinates.
Send a coordinate to a livestreaming player, then the player opens the map to verify the specific location of the coordinate and mark it. The marked area will show a light pillar only visible to the player, and then they can carry out precise strikes toward the light pillar’s position.
But this point would take him a lot of time to learn and improve proficiency, making it more suitable for sub-group commanders to use for detailed command.
The second lesson was the proper use of the ‘Mark’ Inherited soul trait.
Besides marking enemies, you can also mark teammates, letting support players release abilities precisely to aid teammates.
As for filtering teammates, just call up the warband list, find the target group, and lock it directly.
An even stronger method is to use the coordinates at the upper right of the livestreaming player’s screen and send those coordinates directly to the player providing support.
But this method is limited to guest No. 1. With his ability he simply could not do it.
Unless Brain Overclocking could be raised hundreds of levels so that his brain could operate like a super-AI.
There were many other small details in function usage.
These were all things he usually ignored, but in war mode they are very useful little tricks.
After once again expressing thanks to guest No. 1, God King ended the exchange and headed straight for the library.
He decided to follow guest No. 1’s advice, trying to establish multiple sets of command logic and conceive logical contradictions that could be used on the battlefield.
Unlike the gloomy mood when he went to the library last time.
Walking along the way, God King wore a radiant smile, especially when he thought of the Earthmind Evil Spirit’s face like it had eaten crap upon seeing him.
This feeling could only be described with one word, and that was: “Awesome.”

Guest No. 1’s brilliant performance also sparked heated discussion on the forum.
The campaign video shot to number one on the forum heat ranking in a short time.
For all players who did not participate, the first thought that surged up after clicking the video was generally this: absurd.
Bullet-screen command, predictive counters, precise kills. What most shocked the players watching the video was that the Earthmind Bully’s proud natural-catastrophe series unit reclamation tactic was actually broken by this mysterious guest No. 1.
Before this, the forum had discussed many times how to break the Earthmind Bully’s undefeated golden body.
The combination of natural-catastrophe series and plague series was disgusting to the point of making one seethe.
In battle, the natural-catastrophe units bear damage and defend, and the plague units weaken the players’ damage output capability. These two together were a shell almost impossible to crack, keeping the Earthmind Bully’s defense solid as bedrock.
If other Black Tide Evil Entities were dirt poor monsters, then the Earthmind Bully was absolutely the stingiest Black Tide commander in the players’ eyes in terms of using energy resources.
If it could pinch out one bit of resource, it would never give players the chance to kill and devour.
But guest No. 1 could always accurately judge the Earthmind Bully’s reclamation rhythm, having players focus fire in advance on the natural-catastrophe and plague units that were about to be reclaimed.
The feeling players got watching the video was that this No. 1 commander must have installed surveillance in the Earthmind Bully’s brain.
He could always predict the Earthmind Bully’s next move.
Precisely under guest No. 1’s accurate predictions, the Earthmind Bully had to devote more energy to habit changes.
Watching the whole thing, the players who watched the video exclaimed awesome.
Guest No. 1, who was already very famous on the forum, completely made a name this time.
Many player guilds even posted to recruit guest No. 1, including many alien-race guilds.
Guest No. 1’s identity also sparked heated discussion on the forum.
All players were guessing who exactly this mysterious guest No. 1 was.
The common guess was that guest No. 1 was very likely someone from a race’s management using their highest super-AI to play the game, a hybrid player of lifeform plus super-AI.
Otherwise it would be impossible to explain this command capability that surpassed common sense.
In response to these questions, guest No. 1 never made any statements or explanations.
Players who wanted to ask also could not tag guest No. 1 on the forum, since without game qualification he could only speak in livestream rooms.
As for the forum, that is a place where only qualified players can post.
Guest No. 1’s performance also broke many stereotypes players held about outside guests.
Before this, forum players called outside guests cloud players who only jabbered in livestream rooms and were useless in actual play.
But this time guest No. 1 truly stepped in, proving with overwhelmingly strong personal ability that cloud players can be stronger than qualified players.
Guest No. 1 was deified in a single battle, and many cloud players felt their own spines straighten along with it. Going forward they spoke in player livestream rooms with more confidence.
In fact, a type of voice from cloud players appeared in many livestream rooms.
They said guest No. 1 is also a cloud player. He has no qualification yet is still amazing.
So if guest No. 1 can do it, why can’t I? Streamer, listen to me and do as I say…
