After Genderswap Reincarnation, I Raised the Strongest Player - CH 27
In addition to the three major areas of the game, there are many places for players to socialize, and the training ground is one of them.
Players can simulate various scenes and opponents in there for combat training. The advantage is that there is no pain setting in the training area, so you can test your combat skills without any psychological burden. The disadvantage is that you cannot simulate emergencies and it doesn’t give you experience.
This can be made up for in the dungeons of the safe area, but if you want to train for a stage, there’s no need to go for the easy one.
It should be said that the biggest convenience of the training ground is that you can join and leave at any time. In addition to training combat experience, it is also a good choice as a warm-up before the dungeon.
You can also get in touch with people on your friend list… Probably.
So the training ground is still quite popular.
Each player can use game points to create their own individual training ground, but the demand for game points is so low that it can be completely ignored, and there is no fee to join other players’ training grounds, so it is equivalent to free service.
After creating her own training ground Xia Xinyan was transported to a white void.
This is the original appearance of the room, there’s nothing but a white ground. Although it is qualified as a battle ground, it will always feel a little depressing if you stay in it for a long time.
So Xia Xinyan slightly changed the training venue, from a white space to a forest.
She is located in an open space in the middle of the forest, the space is as big as several football fields and surrounded by forests. Overall, the terrain is no different from the white space before, but the scenery is definitely better.
The oppression of the world after natural disasters made her fall in love with this glamorous forest scenery. As long as she was in it she would feel better, so she often put her mind on this strange aspect—— such as the scenery of her private space.
Perhaps this is the difference between her and Ling Mo at this point in time. Even if she had the same personality and the same experience in the first twenty years, once a fork occurs at a certain point in time, two people may not be regarded as the same person.
Or so she thinks.
And not only the experience is different… Now both of them have different abilities.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Xinyan awakened her abilities.
《Beastialization – Black Cat.》
Two black cat ears suddenly protruded from the head, twitching unconsciously. At the same time, a black tail extended from the upper part of the tailbone to the top of the shirt.
Her pupils also instantly turned into cat-like vertical pupils, but soon returned to round pupils under the light.
Other than that, there are no other appearance changes.
After switching to the transformation state, she turned her head to look at the tail behind her for the first time.1 The length and thickness of the tail is similar to that of the succubus, and it is also black, but at the end there is no strange weapon exclusive to the succubus.
But it can’t stop being upturned.
After a moment of silence, she cautiously reached out and grabbed the tail.
… She doesn’t feel anything.
【It is said that the cat’s sensitive zone is on the neck, can the host try to scratch the neck?】
“Shut up.”
【… It is recommended that the host change her attitude towards the system, this is not a normal way of getting along between the host and the system】
“I suggest you change your logic processor first.”
Xia Xinyan let go of her tail impatiently.
“Or you should stop talking at all, except when releasing tasks.”
She felt that there was something really wrong with the system.
And the problem is not small.
【This system is still in factory settings】
“Then return to the factory.”
【…】
Not caring what the system was thinking, Xia Xinyan then awakened another ability of her own—— the succubus.
The succubus weapon suddenly grew out of the end of the tail, but other than that nothing changed.
Xia Xinyan created a floor-to-ceiling mirror front of her, being able to see her current appearance clearly.
It looks… like a succubus tail and a pair of cat ears, which is the coexistence state of these two supernatural abilities being awakened at the same time.
She didn’t pay attention to the changes in her eyes, for fear of becoming narcissistic.
In other words, when the player can bring the power out to reality she will become like this.
… It’s not bad, a little better than she imagined—— she thought she would grow two tails.
It’s just that after the two abilities were awakened at the same time she also realized a problem—— the two powers cannot be maintained at their best at the same time, but in a master-slave relationship. The power of the main ability will overwhelm the other, although the latter can also be exerted, but the effect will be greatly reduced.
For example… if she mainly uses the Beastialization ability, she will not feel anything when she touches her tail in a non-combat state, but if she uses the succubus ability as the main one, as long as she touches the tail, she will instantly ascend to heaven.
However, these two abilities can seamlessly switch the master-slave relationship, which does not have a big impact on her, but there is an extra switching step during the battle, which may be a bit troublesome if you are not familiar with it.
After getting a general understanding of her two abilities, it’s time to warm up.
The training ground supports players to customize their own combat opponents, species, body size, combat bias, combat style, etc. But the combat strength cannot exceed twice the player’s strength—— this is set by the game, players can only adjust opponent strength percentage.
So, because Xia Xinyan had so much combat experience before, without much hesitation she directly created a two-meter-tall giant wolf, set its strength to twice her own, and then entered the battle preparations.
She has to try out which fighting style is more suitable for her now, and with the strengthening the black cat’s ability, a stupid big creature with low speed and strong strength is definitely a suitable training object.
The 3-second countdown ended and the battle officially began. The giant wolf howled and rushed towards Xia Xinyan immediately.
Xia Xinyan bent down slowly, and then rushed towards the giant wolf at an extremely fast speed, staring directly at the opponent’s eyes—— this is the biggest weakness of the beast.
Then…
《You have been killed, the battle failed》
The scene was suddenly reversed, and she was teleported back to the original place, and the giant wolf also returned to the place where it had appeared.
Xia Xinyan was stunned for a moment.
She… was defeated?
Was directly slapped to death by a paw?
… It seems that it has been too long since she has done anything, and her fighting skills are rusty.
Again!
After a few seconds——
《You have been killed, the battle failed》
… Again.
《You have been killed, the battle failed》
…
Ten minutes later.
Xia Xinyan gasped and looked at the giant wolf in front of her, and finally figured out something.
She may have misunderstood the tendency of this Beastialization ability before.
Its not that this ability isn’t good at fighting head-on, but that it can’t fight head-on at all.
Although the speed has increased a lot after becoming a beast, the resistance and strength have decreased. After the body becomes weaker, this giant wolf can kill her in seconds at will. Now, in the one-on-one fight, the other party knows from the beginning that she is there. Under such circumstances, she simply cannot do a real assassination.
She doesn’t know if this ability will change in the future, but now it seems that this power has great flaws.
In other words, if she wants to fight alone in the future, she has to have the strength.
After being silent for a while, she raised her head to look at the giant wolf, and chose to start fighting again.
The giant wolf rushed towards her directly as usual, but this time, she did not face him, but stood motionless in place, and when the giant wolf got close, her eyes instantly turned blood red——
Spiritual charm!
The moment he met her gaze, the giant wolf suddenly stopped and fell straight in front of her feet. The big beast over two meters tall lay on the ground like a dog and stared flatteringly at her. He looked like he couldn’t help but want to come up and lick her immediately.2
“…”
Never.
