Chapter 439 Lying


    Seeing this, Zhuge Jun couldn''t help but be stunned.


    Is there such a thing?


    Where is this NPC?


    He pulled the video back and watched it again, and found that it was another small branch leading to the bridge.


    This fork in the road is blocked by some boxes and debris. After passing it, you have to jump down into a small alley, then go to the end and climb up another staircase to reach this special platform.


    Overall, it''s pretty well hidden.


    If players have obsessive-compulsive disorder, they can find it, but most players will not deliberately explore these places in the early stage. They basically go straight to the boss when they see the bridge, so not many players find this fork in the road.


    "Hello!


    "You are still wandering on the street at this time, didn''t you hear the radio?


    "Oh, looking at you covered in blood all the way here, it must not be easy, right? Hehe, it''s really amazing...


    "Let me introduce myself. I am a kind-hearted doctor. I came here because I was treating people, but I didn''t expect that I would be delayed because of the earthquake.


    "Now I want to go home, but the bridge I must pass is blocked by this doll. I went to a high place to observe for a long time, but I still can''t do anything...


    "Oh, by the way, seeing that you are so good at fighting, are you a battle doll or a skilled hunter?"


    At this time, two different options appeared on the screen, namely "Puppet" and "Human".


    And there is also a countdown, which is about ten seconds, neither long nor short.


    It gives players ample time to react and think, but it is impossible to use this time to quickly check the strategy.


    “Okay, time is limited, let’s choose first and then explain to you in detail.


    "Everyone, please be careful not to copy my answer, because this option is based on your identity.


    “In general, if you make a standard face, then your initial identity label is ‘human tendency’, then we will choose a puppet at this time.


    "On the other hand, if you are pinching the face of an ancient god, then your initial identity is ''Doll Tendency''. At this time, we will choose human beings.


    "Why did you choose this? You can think about it for yourself first. Let''s continue to read the dialogue below. After the boss battle, I will explain the reasons in detail."


    Zhuge Jun was thinking while watching the video.


    If he had been given the choice from the beginning, he would have been confused and would have probably chosen to tell the truth.


    But in the video, Black Dragon has already given the standard answer. If you use the standard answer to reason backward, the difficulty of judgment will be much lower, and the entire reasoning process will be easy to guess.


    At this time, Zhuge Jun noticed some details, that is, the content, tone, and clothing of this NPC were not quite right.


    His tone always makes people feel a little sinister and malicious, and is often mixed with some "hee hee" laughter. Moreover, he calls himself a "kind doctor", which is quite strange. How can a doctor introduce himself? Forcibly adding the adjective "kind"?


    If you look closely at the clothes of this NPC, you will find that he is actually wearing the clothes of a doll maker, and they are stained with a lot of blood. There is a bag of unknown meaning next to it, and some jewelry is vaguely exposed from the bag.


    Even if the players cannot guess his true purpose and identity, these doubts can roughly confirm that this person has bad intentions and cannot be trusted.


    "Could it be that...this NPC is actually using giant animal-like dolls to kill passers-by?


    "On that bridge, there were many corpses of humans and dolls, and some dolls still had incomplete limbs. There seemed to be a door on this platform. This door cannot be opened at the moment, but judging from its location, it seems that it can be connected to a Shortcut to the bridge.


    "Although it is unclear what is contained in the bag next to this NPC, it is probably gold and silver jewelry obtained from the victims of the bridge or the more valuable prosthetic limbs of the dolls.


    "But why did he ask about his identity? Could it be that..."


    Zhuge Jun vaguely guessed that this NPC seemed to be an evil craftsman. He could control the form of the giant beastly doll through some special method.


    Sure enough, when the black dragon came to the bridge again in the video, the giant beastly doll had changed.


    Originally, only the black fur of the lycanthropic human could be seen on its chest and crotch, but at this time, its whole body was actually covered with swollen tentacles, as if it was being parasitized by a huge living corpse. Same.


    Even the original attack movements have changed, and they are obviously faster and more agile.


    Zhuge Jun couldn''t help but be surprised: "Can this NPC really change the boss''s form? In other words, when the player takes a detour to leave the platform, the NPC sneakily opens a shortcut to the bridge and changes the boss''s state?


    "But how did he do it? Why didn''t the boss hit him? Well, it seems that this is also a plot hole."


    At this time, Black Dragon was fighting the boss while explaining the impact of choosing an identity.


    “Everyone should have roughly understood that our previous options will change the status of the boss.


    "As for the specific reason, I can''t give a particularly accurate explanation yet. But you can also tell that this NPC has bad intentions and can change the boss''s form, so we have to deliberately deceive him.


    “We answered ‘doll’, so the NPC changed the boss into a form that is more restrained by the doll.


    "There are many different restraint relationships in this game. In addition to the well-known restraint relationships such as ''more fur and weaker fire'' and ''dolls weaker than thunder'', there are also relationships between humans, zombies and dolls. There is a cyclical restraint relationship: "To put it simply: living corpses defeat puppets, dolls defeat humans, and humans defeat living corpses.


    "Why?


    "First of all, living corpses, or monsters that have transformed into beasts, will spit out blood when they are attacked, and this unclean blood itself is corrosive to a certain extent. It cannot be cured before it solidifies into crystals. It can become the internal energy of the doll.


    "And even if it can be regarded as energy, the doll can only be transformed and absorbed through certain specific means, and cannot be absorbed directly by pouring it on the body. This will only cause corrosion and damage to the parts of the doll.


    "To put it simply, cars burn oil, but you cannot pour oil directly on the car or on the engine, as it will cause mechanical damage.


    “So, the living corpse defeats the puppet.


    "When the dolls fight with humans, they will not be corroded. Moreover, the dolls have strong defense and weird movements. Because they rely on springs to generate their power, the average speed of the sword is slow and fast. The human body is fragile and can be easily attacked. The fast and slow knives were caught off guard. When fighting with the same weapons, humans were at a comprehensive disadvantage.


    “So, puppets defeat humans.


    "So what happens when humans fight living zombies? We all know that humans can also absorb the blood of living corpses to restore their own blood, so they will not be corroded like dolls.


    "At the same time, most of the movements of living corpses do not have fast and slow knives. Each move is relatively intuitive, and humans can completely deal with it with conventional combat ideas.


    "Not only that, human weapons often have obvious damage effects on living corpses, especially after being enchanted with fire talismans and other enchantments.


    “So, humans defeat living corpses.


    "We lied to the NPC and said we were dolls, and then the NPC would transform the boss into a living corpse. Originally, this could be a good target against the dolls, but we are humans, so the boss happened to be restrained by us.


    "The opposite is also true. If you choose a puppet-oriented protagonist, then choose a human at this time. I have tested it before, and the same is true.


    "But I want to remind everyone that you must manually save the file when talking to the NPC. Because there is a certain probability of failure when using a puppet to lie. If it fails, the result will be that the NPC sees through our lies and transforms the boss into a living corpse. Our fight will get harder."


    Zhuge Jun couldn''t help but suddenly realized, so that''s it!


    Is there such a restraint relationship?


    Judging from the video, the difficulty of this boss battle has indeed dropped a lot after lying.


    Originally, this boss was half-doll, half-living corpse. That is to say, its chest and crotch are in the state of a living corpse, but its limbs are in the state of a doll.


    At this time, players use weapons to attack its limbs, with little effect, because the doll is a mechanical structure, which has a good damage reduction effect on weapons, and it is difficult to damage the parts.


    After lying, the boss will choose to spread or shrink his animal-like living corpse state. At this time, he is more inclined to the state of full doll or full living corpse.


    If it is a fully living corpse, its fast and slow knife movements will be significantly reduced, each move will be more intuitive, and it will also have better GP.


    In addition, its arms and legs have become more susceptible to damage by parts.


    Combined with the first two playing methods mentioned before by Black Dragon, the difficulty is further reduced.


    The situation of the puppet protagonist Black Dragon was not demonstrated, but according to the mechanism of this game, Zhuge Jun can roughly guess it.


    If the protagonist lies that he is human, then the NPC will transform the boss into a pure doll. At this time, the puppet''s quick and slow knives will increase, but its movements will become slower.


    The main character of the puppet originally moves slowly, so it is easy to get beaten when hitting the living corpse, and the blood spurted by the living corpse will corrode the puppet parts. But now that the boss moves slowly, the puppet protagonist can confidently and boldly choose a position to charge and output, which also reduces the difficulty.


    According to the settings, the puppet protagonist itself has higher damage and toughness multiplier, and has a good advantage in head-to-head encounters.


    “This guide is really a timely help!”


    Zhuge Jun carefully studied the GP timing of several specific actions, and then went to the NPC to give corresponding answers, increasing the boss''s beastly state.


    When I challenged the boss again, it was obviously much smoother than before. I successfully defeated it after four attempts.


    "Take it!


    "Hey, I might have misjudged this game before, but now it seems that it''s actually okay. It''s not that difficult."


    Zhuge Jun stretched himself. After defeating the boss, his previous anger could not help but disappear.


    The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and he felt like he could do it again.


    Cheer up and continue with the process!
