Chapter 151: Chapter 94 Definition of Gaming Currency_3

But what I want to tell you is, the core of this Star Vein combination, besides these three Magic Souls, also includes a custom weapon.

It is the Gun Merchant’s product: Spiritual Bomb.

The combat mode is very simple, requiring no skills.

All you need to do is one thing, first summon the Flowing Shadow Clone, then take out the Spiritual Bomb from the Space Bag and hand it to the clone, and finally let the clone happily charge and self-detonate.

So, the core of this Star Vein combination is Energy Absorption + Flowing Shadow + Spiritual Bomb (custom weapon).

As for why a Light Shield should be paired with it, there are two reasons.

Firstly, the Light Shield is naturally a spiritual enhancement Life Soul, and when leveled up, the main attribute bonus it brings is spiritual power.

Secondly, the effect of the Light Shield can protect oneself at critical moments.

For example, when being sneak-attacked at close range, or being too close to an explosion, etc., it is a necessary defensive measure.

If you have team protection, just embedding Flowing Shadow + Energy Absorption is completely feasible.

Knock on the blackboard, let’s move on to practical drills (Chi Tu slams the table.jpg)

...

In the video footage, the player activates the Flowing Shadow Characteristic, summoning three clones.

Then each person takes a Spiritual Bomb, and under the player’s control, they madly charge towards the distant Insect Tide.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Upon nearing the Insect Tide, the Spiritual Bombs explode, instantly generating high temperatures and shockwaves that blow away a large number of Insect Warriors, with flesh flying everywhere.

At this time, the player summons three more Flowing Shadow Clones, handing them the Spiritual Bombs while fervently inhaling the white mist to recover the severely depleted spiritual power.

After three consecutive rounds of kamikaze charges, the player raises a thumbs-up to the camera, grinning and saying:

"Just asking you guys, isn’t this Star Vein combination fierce?"

...

Comments section:

Supreme Fish Head: I clicked in with a critical mindset, but after watching I admit it’s really awesome. If we had the Flowing Shadow Life Soul combined with your Star Vein combination back then, we wouldn’t have needed any kamikaze charges to take down the Dark Cave; just let the avatars go and die, easily completing the Purification mission of Dark Cave. This Star Vein combination definitely deserves a like, very practical for team battles.

Dark Night Will Come: After watching, I have a doubt hoping the original poster can answer. By roughly calculating through the video (not necessarily accurate, didn’t see clearly), the number of Insect Warriors killed by the blasts and the cost of the Spiritual Bombs, I feel that the sacrificial power gain of this combination is quite low. Mainly earning evolution points, the sacrificial power gain after deducting costs depends on the situation, might earn less, not earn at all, or even possibly at a loss.

Close Combat Magic God (original poster) replies to Dark Night Will Come: Heh heh, you’ve discovered the shortcoming of this combination. This combination must be used against targets with very high monster density like Insect Tide and Black Tide. Using Spiritual Bombs against single and strong targets is a loss-making endeavor. Currently, every time I use the clone self-explosion tactic, the kill profit fluctuates around 10% (only accounting for sacrificial power gains), and there have been occurrences of losses, but the gain in evolution points is very high, one round of output can kill a bunch.

Divine Hall - God King: Damn, this Star Vein combination looks useful. Teams can match up a few, when encountering a deadlock that can’t be broken through, just let a group of Flowing Shadow Clones charge and self-detonate to clear the way, the effect is definitely good. I will have the guild’s Magic Group match up a few self-detonating Star Vein combinations (Reward: 18 sacrificial power points).

Play games with dedication: Monster Stream player here, aren’t you guys tired of switching around? Every day I see you guys researching this and that, I’ve played with the Black Armored Snake Life Soul for a month, now over 20 meters long, swimming in the Insect Tide, and it’s exhilarating, I really don’t understand players who go for the main body route, worrying about how to match Star Veins to be stronger every day, I think it’s better to be dedicated to the Monster Stream route, when I grow to 1000 meters in length, what Insect Tide, Black Tide, I can swallow hundreds with one bite (brick-moving smug face.jpg)

Beaver replies to Play games with dedication: Monster Stream is indeed strong in the early stages, but in the late stage, there will inevitably be various shortcomings due to a single trait. Matching Star Veins is the mainstream gameplay of this game, and the process of matching is about compensating for shortcomings and obtaining stronger combat power through combination of traits.

Play games with dedication replies to Beaver: I don’t care, I’m not listening, anyway, Monster Stream is the best in the world!

While Qi Sheng was browsing the post, he noticed that the Trading House’s commission from the sales of Spiritual Bombs began to rise rapidly.

Clearly, this was the impact of the Avatar self-detonation Stream.

Players had already decided to try this faction.

More importantly, the combination of Energy Absorption + Flowing Shadow is already a mainstream Magic System Star Vein match.

For example, Energy Absorption + Ink Flame (Bone Fire) + Flowing Shadow, forming a clone Fireball Stream.

Many Magic players could directly adapt to using the Avatar self-detonation Stream without even needing to Decompose Life Soul and rearrange their Star Veins.

This led to a rapid increase in the sales data of Spiritual Bombs.

Qi Sheng had already noticed this kind of situation several times.

Whenever a popular Star Vein combination appears on the forums, it affects the sales data of related commodities in the Trading House and may even cause drastic price fluctuations for some items.

For example, the appearance of the fishing stream caused the price of Iron Shell Bug Silk to soar continuously.

This gave Qi Sheng an idea.

In the future, when lacking sacrificial power, whether he could earn sacrificial power from players quietly by taking advantage of forum information and arbitrage resources.

But after careful consideration, he gave up on this idea.

Compared to lottery events, which are almost the same as blatant confiscation of sacrificial power, arbitrage trading is a low-end behavior.

And it comes with the downsides of cost expenditure and the disadvantage of inventory cycle time.

When really short on sacrificial power, just go with lottery events.

If players discover that the lottery always yields nothing good and are reluctant to take part, then he’ll switch to a different probability-based gameplay.

It could change to lottery scratchers with skins, breaking lucky eggs, drawing coupons, etc.

If players are still unwilling to bite, then offer prompts, by frequently refreshing rewards to evoke players’ underlying desires, leading to wishful thinking.

During this period, just trying it will easily lead players into probability traps.

Players with weak willpower who have earned will want to earn more.

Those who have lost think about playing a few more times, to stop only once they break even.

When really short on sacrificial power, Qi Sheng has plenty of ways to make players willingly hand over their sacrificial power and end up thinking it was just their own bad luck, not blaming the game administration.

After all, the administration didn’t open up a channel for cash top-ups.

This setting allows Qi Sheng to remain undefeated.

In the eyes of players, sacrificial power can be created by the administration at will, print as much as needed, never considering that the essence of the official events is to swindle players’ sacrificial power.
