Chapter 136: Chapter 89: The Right Way to Compensate for Weaknesses_3

But if you choose a close-combat Star Vein Combination, even though you’ll have defense and agility, and move several times faster than a Magic Soul, the problem is the lack of lethal power, and you can’t perform long-range and area coverage attacks like a Magic Soul can.

Both of these Star Vein School weaknesses are very clear.

So, I was thinking, can we combine the strengths of both to compensate for their weaknesses?

This idea came to me after the Insect Tide entered the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

In the Insect Tide, there’s a special unit called "Winged Species," and according to Guidance Analysis, it’s a soldier type responsible for resource transportation.

When I was looking at the analysis, I suddenly had an inspiration.

Why can’t we players create a mount to enhance mobility?

Although there’s no mount feature in the game, every player has the ability to transform into a Monster Form, so theoretically anyone can be a mount.

Let me describe the combat mode I’ve envisioned.

I have chosen a Magic Stream Meteor Vein combination. My main Form rides on the back of my good brother in battle. My good brother switches to the Black Armored Snake form (a 13-meter-long Black Armor Giant Snake, my good brother takes the Monster Stream path of growth, has always been using the Black Armored Snake Life Soul since the beginning of the game, and has never switched), isn’t this a powerful combination that has both output, mobility, and defensive power?

At my command, my good brother charges through the battlefield, all I need to do is stand on top of my good brother dispensing skills without moving my feet.

After many tests with my good brother, we found two ideal Monster Forms to serve as mounts.

They are the Black Armored Snake and Roar (Bear Form).

It’s simply too perfect having these two Monster Forms as mounts.

Their huge size makes them so tall that the insects can only reach my good brother’s knees, posing no threat to me who’s riding on top. What’s more, with my good brother constantly on the move, it’s not easy for anyone to climb up and kill me.

Especially in the Roar Form, it even has a sonic stun control ability. He holds them down, and I do the killing. The efficiency of monster-killing is very high.

Here’s a demonstration video (video attachment).

When Qi Sheng opens the video, he sees two players standing on a giant rock, looking toward the raging Insect Tide at a distance.

Just then, one of the players turns to his buddy:

"Let’s start."

Upon hearing this, the player standing to the side nods, then switches to a Black Armored Snake Form, twisting its body into a 13-meter-long Black Armor Giant Snake. After slithering down the giant rock and lowering its head, the other player steps forward and stands on the giant snake’s head.

"Charge!"

Following the command given by the player standing on top, the duo charge toward the Insect Tide.

During this, the Black Armor Giant Snake raises its body, lifting the player five meters off the ground, while the player on top keeps conjuring Fireballs to throw into the Insect Tide.

Whenever the Insect Tide swarms, the Black Armor Giant Snake rams its way out of the swarm, looking for a spot with fewer Insect Warriors to raise its body again, creating a comfortable output environment for the player on top.

As the player who released the video said, this combination makes up for the shortcomings of close-combat Star Vein and Magic Star Vein, having both extremely high mobility and defense, and also powerful output efficiency.

At the end of the post, the posting player states:

After watching the demonstration video, I’m sure everyone understands the power of the Mount Stream.

But talking about it isn’t the same as experiencing it firsthand. I suggest everyone tries it out. If it’s not good, come back and roast me.

Love to Spend Elderly: I opened this post out of curiosity, and it blew my mind, man, you really dare to think. There’s a saying among us old gamers, the ultimate game experience is never the game itself or the hardware configuration—it’s that you have a group of good brothers who you can have fun with.

You’ll understand this as you get older. As time passes, the friends with whom we once played games have their own families and careers; communication gradually fades until they completely disappear from our gaming friends list, becoming permanently dim symbols.

After reading your post, I realized the literal meaning of this saying: it just cracked me up.

Anyway... your good brother is truly the cream of the crop among brothers. Take good care of him.

Dark Night Will Come: No... a person shouldn’t... at least they shouldn’t... forget it, suddenly I don’t know what to say. The host, your idea, is theoretically feasible, but there’s a big problem that’s harder to fix than overcoming weaknesses: a good brother willing to be a mount is not something everyone can have (sighful Four Eyes Clan.jpg).

Is this Beaver: Hahaha, dude, you’re a genius. I think your brainstorm is absolutely feasible. Also, one thing, can I borrow your good brother for a bit? I just asked in the guild group who was willing to be my mount, and now they are cursing me. Clearly, my good brothers are not as understanding and willing to sacrifice themselves for strength as yours.

Drunk Hit Moon Eclipse Clan: Dude, your strategy is seriously abstract. The problem of compensating for the shortcomings of the Star Vein factions can be solved somehow. The more Life Souls we collect in the future, the more combinatorial solutions we can find. But the problem of making your good brother a mount, I’ll never solve it in this lifetime. Your strategy is beyond the scope to me and has even refreshed my worldview.

Dark Lands is really fun: The game sold you short at 128888, you guys are playing more and more freely. God of Wealth official didn’t come up with a mount feature, so you custom-created one, right? Your excessively twisted brainstorming often makes me feel out of place. The official should lower the freedom level. You’ve gone too far with your liberty; you’ve started to play abstractly. I can’t even begin to imagine what more crazy gameplay you guys will come up with next.

Cola on the rocks, chug: Transfer 100 points of sacrificial power to me quickly, host. I just told my good brother about your idea, and he started smashing my head cursively and stated that the method is indeed feasible, but he insisted that I be the mount and he would play the Magic System with ranged output. If I don’t agree, he’ll beat me up later. Quick, compensate me for my medical expenses (fist-clenched God of Wealth.jpg).

Qi Sheng is really speechless about the content of this post.

As the designer of the Challenger System, he had never thought that such bizarre gameplay could exist.

Truly, they’ve played with flowers on the foundation he provided.

Theoretically, this tactic is entirely feasible, but as the forum players mentioned.

Such gameplay is too insulting to the brother’s personality.

The difficulty is not whether the gameplay is viable, but how to find a brother who is willing to sacrifice themselves.
