Chapter 163/[External Brain]

Chapter 163 [External Brain]

The moment he opened the skill panel, Lin Huai'en saw several golden lights.

However, after being a dungeon explorer for so long, Lin Huai'en knows very well that golden skills do not equate to "good" skills.

"To put it bluntly, the 'golden' skill is just an intermediate marker..."

In other words, it is the "bell" that can arouse the appetite of hounds in the "Pavlov's Dog" experiment.

So he simply ignored the common functional golden skills and focused on the only golden skill that he thought had a strange name——

【External brain】

[Description: By consuming magic power, the user can construct several magic thinking bodies to assist the user in analysis, judgment and other thinking and memory work. 】

[Note 1: The magic thinking body does not have consciousness and cannot use magic abilities. It can only complete the work preset by the main body. The user can divide the thinking body into different uses according to needs. 】

[Note 2: Each time the purpose is reset, the thinking body needs to be summoned again. 】

[Note 3: The magical thinking body can only be destroyed by spells and is difficult to detect. 】

Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment, feeling an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

"Brain on the outside? Brain in a vat?"

When it comes to external brains, the first thing that comes to mind is "brain in a vat".

But taking a closer look at the description of the skill, it was a little different from the "brain in a vat" he imagined.

"It feels like this should be an auxiliary skill to strengthen 'thinking memory'...it can share the mental load."

Lin Wynn had heard of a similar second-level relic at Wilderness House.

The name of this secondary relic is called "Floating Brain", which is like a jellyfish floating in the air with tentacles, except that the head of this jellyfish is a miniature version of the human brain.

As for the user of the "Floating Brain", as long as he connects the tentacles to his neck, the "Floating Brain" will wrap around the user tightly and connect with his spinal cord.

Allows the user to gain an additional brain with the same properties as the "Floating Brain".

"The 'Floating Brain' is an entity and can be destroyed. Its performance is also related to the properties of the relic. It also contains fragments of the previous owner's thoughts. It must be strictly formatted before it can be used..."

Compared with [external brain], it is much more dangerous.

But even so, it is still a precious relic that many mage explorers are eager to pursue.

"Thinking memory is equivalent to the accuracy of using spell-type skills... Among high-level explorers, blasting out a large amount of magic power in one breath is certainly a very powerful method. But more spellcasters still like to use it through Fine control, projecting less magic power with higher 'efficiency'."

"And those summoning and controlling spell casters rely more on skills or equipment like 'Floating Brain' that can enhance thinking and memory."

In Lin Huai'en's impression, there were necromancer explorers in Wilderness House who complained that when summoning high-level necromantic creatures like the Headless Horseman, his thinking memory would be occupied. If the thinking memory is too low, driving Just a few undead creatures and the brain will be overloaded.

"So...this skill is a magical skill for summoning spellcasters...but for me..."

Lin Huai'en looked at the [External Brain] hesitantly, and suddenly understood——

"[Sword Theory] and [Enhanced Perception]..."

He looked at his skill list, was silent for a moment, and decided to skip this skill first and look at several other golden skills.

"Except for a few old acquaintances...do you really have the [Sword Drawing Technique]?"

【Dagger Drawing Technique (Gold)】

[Description: When the user uses a sword-type weapon, the sheath will continuously absorb the user's overflowing magic power, strengthen the sword body, and improve the performance of the weapon. It will also show a more powerful effect the moment the weapon is unsheathed. power. 】

[Remarks: This skill will open the user’s ‘Drawing Sword Technique’ type of combat skill branch, affecting the user’s subsequent career choices and skill acquisition, and greatly increasing the probability of obtaining rare skills of the ‘Drawing Sword Technique’ type. 】

"[Hidden Dragon]!"

After reading the skill description of [Drawing Sword Technique], Lin Huai'en's first reaction was to think of Officer Shao's rainbow skill.

However, compared with [Hidden Dragon], [Drawing Sword Technique] is undoubtedly much more "loose".

[Hidden Dragon] does not allow the user to participate in the battle, while [Drawing Sword Technique] only does not allow the weapon to be unsheathed.

But similarly, [Hidden Dragon Value] can be used as needed in most situations. The [Drawing Sword Technique] releases the weapon the moment it is unsheathed.

It's hard to say which of the two skills is better.

Lin Huai'en is more inclined to [Qianlong] from a mentality point of view.

But [Drawing Sword Technique] is also very powerful, especially the fact that it can "activate the branch of combat skills like "Drawing Sword Technique"", which made Lin Huai'en instantly think of many virtual characters who use "Drawing Sword Technique".

After reviewing the [Drawing Sword Technique], he carefully checked the new skills of Silver level and other lower levels.

"The results are nothing special... Do you still have to choose between [External Brain] and [Drawing Technique] in the end?"

Lin Huaien closed his eyes and thought seriously.

Originally, according to his idea, [Bath Sword Technique] was his best choice.

There must be a battle between him and Mu En. With the [Super Speed] performance, there is only one chance to make a move between him and Li Mu En.

Besides [Super Speed], Li Muen has never used any other skills.

If Li Muen is allowed to hold the sword and use an active skill like [Four Directions Slash]...

It's hard for Lin Huai'en to imagine how terrifying the strength he will show.

At that time, he probably had his hands and feet chopped off by [Square Cut] as soon as he caught Li Muen's movements.

And [Sword Drawing Technique] will give him the strength to fight...

"But...is this so-called power of one battle still 'the end of the bandits'..."

Thinking of this, Lin Huaien couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, already thinking about how he would deal with Li Muen after he got the [Sword Drawing Technique].

He must have tried his best to roll around and lure Li Muen into being proud and underestimating the enemy. Finally, when he carelessly attacked, he waved his sword and defeated him instantly...

"Such a victory would be too sad..."

"After all, the battle between Li Muen and me is not a life and death battle."

"Not only do I want to beat him, but I also want to win beautifully——"

"And if I want to achieve this, only [external brain] can help me."

Lin Huai'en carefully looked through the offline database of Wilderness House. Looking at the skill description of the rare skill [External Brain], he already had some ideas in his mind.

.

Compared with Li Muen's [Supernatural Speed] and Yuan Ximu's [Magic Communication Band], [External Brain] is not super rare.

But it is still a "rare" skill that is 'gold level only'.

In other words, as long as this skill appears, it must be golden, and there are no other levels.

According to Wilderness House, only this kind of "pure gold" skill can be called a "real golden skill".

Other golden skills with lower colors are all "fake gold" and are not worth mentioning compared with "pure gold".

However, those who held these views were immediately slapped in the face by a massive amount of facts.

Especially those swordsmanship masters who have advanced their bronze-level swordsmanship all the way to gold-level swordsmanship have always been the staunchest opponents of the "pure gold" supporters, even to the point of making "offline appointments."

However, from Lin Huaien's perspective, both sides' views are correct.

"[Swordsmanship] and [Sword Theory] have lower-level versions because they are techniques that exist in reality."

"The reason why [External Brain], [Godly Speed] and [Magic Communication Band] are different from [Swordsmanship] is because they are all 'dungeons'."

"In other words, their 'mystery' is higher than [Swordsmanship], although they may not necessarily be stronger than [Swordsmanship], or the two cannot be compared at all."

"[Swordsmanship] is the foundation, and active skills such as [Superspeed] and [External Brain] are what make them shine..."

Even the mummy swordsman would not tell him that if he practiced [Sword Theory] to the gold level, he could defeat all purple and black card level explorers.

It just emphasizes that Lin Huai'en must lay a good "foundation."

Whether it’s [Swordsmanship] or [Swordsmanship]...

They are all the most important "main branches" in the explorer's ability system.

It's like there are swordsmen, mages, warriors, and hunters in this world, but there are no "speed users."

When both parties in the battle have rare skills like [Super Speed], what everyone competes with is the ability to use the skills.

The explorer with a stronger "main branch" will be more powerful in battle.

And [External Brain] is this kind of "rare ability" that can make up for Lin Huaien's shortcomings and allow him to keep up with the [Superspeed] performance!

.

"You want to borrow my light-catching fairy?!"

Yuan Ximu looked at Lin Huai'en in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Yes, I got a new skill, so I want to try it out."

Lin Huaien nodded. After resting for a night, he found Yuan Ximu and made his request to her.

Yuan Ximu seemed a little hesitant:

"It's not impossible...but I'm shooting something with it right now. I can't borrow it from you later. And what are you going to use it for? How long will you borrow it for?"

"I'm going to use it against Mu En's [Superspeed]," Lin Huai'en didn't mean to hide it from her, "I'll probably keep using it until I can defeat him..."

.

Regarding Lin Huaien’s requirements.

Yuan Ximu was reluctant at first, but after thinking about it, she agreed.

It's just that when she handed the light-taking fairy to Lin Huai'en, she emphasized to him unhappily that Lin Huai'en owed her a huge~huge~ favor.

Lin Huai'en knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only nodded with a wry smile, acquiescing to her statement.

"After all, it's something worth nearly 6 million, so we can't break it..."

In his tent, Lin Huai'en looked at the light-taking fairy in front of him, was silent for a while, and used the [External Brain].

A feeling similar to the reversal of cold water nozzle, Lin Huaien felt that something cold and biting was being extracted from his body.

The [External Brain] added to level 1.0 can only summon a magical thinking body.

This magical thinking body is transparent in Lin Huai'en's eyes, but through the subtle feeling of magical power, he can detect its existence.

It's very strange. The [external brain] gives him the feeling of a "floating brain".

However, according to the skill description in the Wilderness House database, the image of [External Brain] is not fixed. From a cute teddy bear to an ethereal sword spirit, any image is possible.

The key lies in the purpose the user has in mind when extracting them.

It is an image extraction from the subconscious mind.

"And since the [external brain] looks like a 'floating brain'... does it mean that it has realized what I plan to use it for?"

Lin Huai'en rubbed his head and looked at the magic power consumption——

150 points is enough for swordsman explorers to take their time.

It's a pity that Lin Huai'en's magic power is as high as 2.5 points, making him a rare species among swordsmen.

"And is this why the mummy swordsman reminded me to add some balance points..."

"The system will recommend the best possibility based on all my basic attributes..."

"It's not a 'specialized' route that once you take it, there's no turning back."

Thinking of this, Lin Huai'en took a deep breath, engraved the [Sword Theory] skill on the [External Brain], and let it slowly float towards the light-taking fairy.

There was a tremor that was almost convulsive, and a flush appeared on the face of the light-catching demon. A trace of excitement flashed across his blank expression, and then he instantly regained his composure.

From Lin Huai'en's perspective, the external brain has completely attached to the light-taking fairy.

The stretched out jellyfish-like tentacles tightly wrapped around her petite body.

[Psychic tentacle monster, yes]
