Chapter 21

"劈 and 炮 have similar power; a three-minute continuous attack can force the opponent to take a potion."

"However, it can be felt that劈 is slightly faster, with lower attacks, while 炮 can slightly charge up, making its attacks slower but more powerful."

"In terms of DPS, they are about the same. In combat, which move to use depends on the specific situation."

"The secret manual says that 劈 represents sharp metal, with bold and aggressive moves; 炮 represents fierce fire, which, when unleashed, can burn the sky and is unstoppable!"

"Carefully pondering, these words describe the characteristics of the two moves thoroughly... Following this line of thought..."

"..."

"崩 represents green wood, being soft on the outside but hard on the inside. The stronger the enemy's pressure, the stronger the counterforce."

"This means that this move is suitable for countering the enemy in combat, but its direct attack power is pitifully weak, taking about seven to eight minutes to force the opponent to take a potion. Even considering healing, it has at most half the power of 劈 and 炮."

"However, Half-Step 崩 is clearly an enhanced and advanced version of 崩. How could it have evolved so powerfully?"

"..."

"钻 represents black water, being dense and penetrating..."

"It feels like this move has a particularly high hit rate, even on a bumpy horse, it often hits the intended target. Unfortunately, its power is not much different from 崩..."

"In combat with NPCs, this move can penetrate the enemy's attacks and target vital points, but against players, its effectiveness is greatly reduced."

"..."

"横 represents yellow earth, being stable and heavy, with power originating from the ground, remaining immovable regardless of changes."

"This move is the most puzzling. On the surface, it is used for defense, and in practice, it cannot gain experience through a punching bag. However, the phrase 'power from the ground' seems out of place, indicating a problem."

"Interesting. I never thought that the lowest-level world's lowest-level secret manual would contain so much information."

Dugu Fu sighed while practicing.

Xingyi, Taiji, and Bagua are known as the three major internal martial arts. Everyone knows that external martial arts rely on practice, while internal martial arts rely on enlightenment.

His operational skills are among the best in the world, but the operational methods of players and NPCs are fundamentally different. He must start from scratch and gradually adapt.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!" Accompanied by his words, the dull sounds echoed through the mountains and forests, startling the birds and driving away the beasts.

Dugu Fu continued his journey eastward.

When thirsty, he drank water; when hungry, he ate meat; when tired, he endured; when exhausted, he rested.

However, during his breaks, he did not idle. He took the opportunity to practice another skill—thievery. This skill has no prerequisites, does not consume stamina, and can be practiced by any character in any world.

In the game world, players' inventories are divided into several types:

1. System Backpack: Weightless and the safest, but cannot be expanded, with a fixed capacity for each character.

2. Weight Reduction Backpack: Reduces item weight by a certain percentage, determined by the bag's level. It can be expanded and exchanged, but is less secure.

3. Spatial Backpack: Does not reduce item weight but can store items in an unreasonable manner, such as a hundred-pound hammer in a matchbox. It is the least secure.

In short, the peculiarities of players' inventories are something ordinary NPCs can never experience.

However, Dugu Fu is not an ordinary NPC. Even among players, few know as much as he does.

These backpacks seem unscientific, and conventional methods cannot easily steal from them, especially the system backpack, which cannot be accessed by anyone other than the player, making it impossible to steal.

But there is no absolute in this world!

For example, Dugu Fu knows that in the Xianxia world, there is a technique called "Flying Dragon Probing Cloud Hand."

Ordinary players only know that this technique can steal items from the enemy's system backpack, but Dugu Fu knows its principle.

In simple terms, it uses Xianxia techniques to temporarily paralyze and control the enemy's hand, making the enemy take out the item and hand it to the caster.

Although Dugu Fu does not know the "Flying Dragon Probing Cloud Hand" or any Xianxia techniques, he can still use the human punching bag for some experiments.

Moreover, offline players are unaware and unresponsive, making them similar to the "Flying Dragon Probing Cloud Hand" or the technique of paralyzing the enemy to steal items.

He freed the human punching bag's hand from a net, carefully wrapped it in ropes, making it look like a mummy, but left a live knot between the thumb and index finger. Pulling the rope would make the two fingers close like a crab's pincers.

He then carefully explored all the pockets on the human punching bag, holding its hand and cautiously probing into these pockets.

Tightening the rope, the crab pincers closed, and he pulled outward.

Empty, nothing was caught.

Even the "Flying Dragon Probing Cloud Hand" is not always successful, let alone his imitation version.

However, as he completed the action, a sudden tingling sensation hit him, like an electric shock.

The tingling quickly concentrated in his hands, especially his fingers, causing them to twitch uncontrollably for a while before subsiding.

Indeed, it happened!

Dugu Fu was overjoyed.

This is called an epiphany.

Both NPCs and players can experience an epiphany when they unintentionally perform an action that aligns with a higher-level skill or realm they do not know, causing their experience to surge instantly.

After the tingling subsided, Dugu Fu moved his fingers, which felt much more agile and flexible, as if they had grown longer and could bend and stretch in various angles and combinations. He could easily extend his ring finger.

The effect of the epiphany was indeed extraordinary, but he wanted not only experience points but also the items in the human punching bag's backpack.

Since he did not succeed, he continued to steal.

Although an epiphany usually only happens once, continuing to do so after an epiphany still grants a lot of experience points.

There is no way around it; the "Flying Dragon Probing Cloud Hand" is a skill from the Xianxia world, which is higher than the High Martial Arts world, which is higher than the Middle Martial Arts world, and finally, the Low Martial Arts world.

Dugu Fu directly jumped four major levels to create an imitation, so it is no wonder the experience points increased so quickly.

Originally, thievery is a skill that requires hard work, technique, and talent, taking three to five years to master, not much easier than becoming a martial arts expert.

But he managed to turn it into a quick process...

Failure!

Failure (×N)!

Success! Golden Wound Medicine? Put it back, the human punching bag needs to eat.

Failure!

Failure (×N)!

Second Success! Kung Fu Fruit? Bite the bullet... put it back, it's a bit early to use it now.
