Chapter Fifty-Five: Transaction
In the rain, a man in green clothes walked slowly towards the wind with an umbrella and sword. The wind was fully alert, staring at every move of the man in green clothes. He wasn't afraid of death; this was just a game, and dying would only set him back one level. What he feared was being sent back to the resurrection point after dying, losing the opportunity to uncover the mystery.
The man in green was only five meters away from the wind, and if it weren't for the heavy rain, his face would already be visible. Suddenly, the man's right hand reached forward, and the umbrella flew out. In an instant, the scene of their previous duel flashed before Wind's eyes - the umbrella was just a decoy, the real attack came from behind. Sure enough, after releasing the umbrella, the man's empty right hand immediately drew his sword and charged forward, everything so familiar. Wind had long been on guard, and as soon as the man and umbrella were side by side, he made his move.
The gusty wind's current speed makes the "catching the wind and grasping the shadow" move insufficient to deal with the carefree one, let alone now facing the green-clothed person who created the speed myth in the Jianghu, of course, dare not rashly go to sandwich the sword, it is better to dodge.
At this moment, the windy mind became exceptionally clear. "Wind Whirl" and "Awaiting Moon in the Wind" were launched simultaneously. The windy one jumped forward, sweeping past the head of the man in green. The umbrella had fallen behind the man in green at this time. The windy one lightly tapped the umbrella with his foot, turned around, and landed softly on the ground. At this point, he had a specific understanding of the speed of the man in green, which was faster than their last battle, but seemed to be still far from what he had imagined, seemingly not as fast as himself.
The man in blue had already turned around, without a word, and charged at Feng Xiao Xiao with his sword. Feng Xiao Xiao didn't think much of it and used the same trick again, using two moves to try and dodge. But before he could even move, the man in blue's sword light had already completely enveloped him...
The rain poured down, and the wind was howling. He could feel the icy raindrops falling from his head, flowing through his hair, down to his neck, and then spreading all over his body, but he didn't feel cool; what felt cool was his heart. The doubts that he thought would be dispelled by this sword fight instead gathered again.
The sword of the man in blue did not continue to pierce, and he stopped just as it was about to pierce, saying something that no one could think of.
He said: "Hello!"
The wind was blowing gently and surprisingly looking at the man in green clothes, not knowing what to say.
The man in green smiled, sheathed his sword, picked up his umbrella and said: "I was just testing to see how fast you are!"
The wind whistled as he came back to his senses and replied, "How did you know I was going to be fast?"
"The one in blue said: 'It was seen on the mountain.'"
The wind whispers, recalling a scene on the mountain, and then says with a sigh: "So you were there just now too. Quick, or was it not as quick as you?"
The man in the green robe smiled and said slowly, "If you tell me why you're so fast, I'll also tell you my secret!" Without waiting for Feng Xiao Xiao to speak, he continued, "I know you're not just relying on agility, you must have some special martial arts or equipment. After all, I'm also a speed player!"
The wind was howling, my heart racing with anticipation. The secret of the person in green had been entwining itself around me for too long, and I was about to find out what it was, but only by exchanging it for a secret of my own that I had kept hidden for just as long.
The man in the green robe saw that Feng Xiao was hesitating, and smiled: "Don't worry, these secrets will still only be known to us two after they're spoken. I won't tell anyone, and I think you won't either?"
The wind nodded slightly and took a deep breath, saying: "Martial arts!"
"What martial art?"
"Wind and thunder!"
"I've never heard of it, isn't it a sect's martial art?!"
"No, it's a reward for hidden tasks, newbie village task, I'm the one who completed that task!"
"Oh, I see, so you've been practicing this skill for a long time, how many levels of martial arts do you have?"
"Ten floors in total!"
"What floor are you on now?"
"We're on the fourth floor now!"
"How much more to move?"
"Four-layered Galeforce, Movement Speed +190%."
The man in green fell into deep thought, and the wind whispered: "It's your turn to speak of your martial arts!"
The man in green smiled and said: "My secret is not just about martial arts!"
Feng Xiao Xiao said: "And you, where is your sword?"
The man in green clothes burst out laughing and said: "I knew everyone would think that this sword of mine has some special trick to it, but actually my real secret isn't this sword at all, and martial arts aren't even the most important thing!"
"What is that?"
"It's this!" said the man in green clothes, holding up the oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
"It!" The wind whispered, looking at this umbrella, just an ordinary oil-paper umbrella, how could it possibly have any secrets.
The man in blue clothes smiled again and said, "Don't be deceived by his ordinary appearance. This umbrella is called the Poison Heart Umbrella, its special effect is to lower all attributes of people around it except for life and internal energy."
"How much discount?"
"Within 3 meters is 10%, within 2 meters is 20%, and within 1 meter is 30%."
"No wonder! I just stepped on it a moment ago, and that was within one meter!"
"Hehe, with that kind of contact, it's zero distance, minus 10%, it's 40%."
"Awesome! No wonder you always appear on rainy days. Normally carrying an umbrella would really raise suspicions!"
"Hehe, the reason you mentioned is only half of it. The other reason is: on rainy days, the power of umbrellas doubles! In other words, your speed has already been reduced to only 20% of its original!"
"This is ridiculous, how long will this weakening last?"
"Only 3 seconds, this is why I must act fast!"
"How are these 3 seconds calculated?"
"For example, if you enter the 2-meter zone, weaken by 20% for 3 seconds. If you then enter the 1-meter zone, reset the timer and weaken to 30%. If you retreat to the 3-meter zone, continue calculating with the time and weakening of the 2-meter zone."
"In fact, your speed isn't as fast as everyone imagined!"
"That's right, you only saw that when I thrust my sword into the sky, he didn't even have time to draw his sword. In coordination with the umbrella coming out first and the person arriving later, there was an impression of 'so fast' in the subconscious. But in fact, the speed of one sword thrusting into the sky has slowed down. Of course, my speed is not as fast as everyone imagined, but it's definitely faster than most people. And your speed is truly beyond people's imagination!"
The wind whispered and asked with a smile: "I have another question, your mysterious appearance, defeating Yi Jian Chong Tian, and then constantly disappearing mysteriously, why is that?"
The man in blue clothes also smiled and said, "These are purely personal hobbies. I just like mysterious things. Now I can play a mysterious character in the game myself, isn't it cool?"
"Then will you continue to hide yourself in such a mysterious way in the future?"
The man in blue said: "This is not certain, anyway, don't talk about today's matter, let me continue to savor my mysterious life!"
The wind nodded slightly.
The man in green turned to leave, and the wind whistled behind him, shouting: "What's your name?"
"The man in green turned around and said: 'The winds are howling and the rains are shaking.' Then he left."
The wind whispers your name, which is quite romantic. I tried to add you as a friend, but the system prompted that the other party's friend switch has not been turned on.
