“So… what the hell is Professor Hulk? How come I have never heard of it?” The witch asked with curiosity.
Others also showed puzzled expressions. Indeed, although the Hulk enhancement had many routes, such as Four Arms Hulk, Rage Hulk, Kung Fu Hulk, Primal Hulk, and other weird routes, this was the first time they heard of Professor Hulk.
“Professor Hulk is an ancient route in the old version. In simple terms, it is the Hulk with Intelligence as the main attribute.”
Hulk with Intelligence? What kind of incredible practice is this? The faces of everyone showed incredible expressions.
The Lawless gave everyone a simple explanation.
Although the Hulk in the early version of the game was strong, it had a very disgusting setting, that is, once transformed, it would lose its intelligence and become a killing machine that attacked friend or foe alike. Even if the player could fully control himself, the Hulk’s attack would still produce a friendly fire effect, not to mention that the player would lose control to a certain extent. It’s like being mad and drunk. It’s very common to accidentally kill teammates.
It turned out that the Hulk will get a DEBUFF with reduced intelligence after transformation. Since the Hulk was a muscular tank, it did not need Intelligence at all, so ordinary people would not waste points on Intelligence, so the Hulk would be mentally disabled after the transformation. Because of this, although the Hulk was very powerful, it still did not affect the balance of the game, which may also be regarded as a balancing method for the game company.
However, someone later discovered that this reduction in Intelligence had a specific value, which was about 10-12 points. So as long as the Hulk had enough Intelligence, almost to about 20, it coould stay sane in a violent situation. In addition, some skills and equipment that could not be used after transformation could also be used, such as advanced boxing and fighting skills. If players increased Intelligence a little bit more, even technological weapons can be used.
So the Professor Hulk gameplay was born. This genre was once popular, and many follow-up sub-genres were discovered. For example, Professor Hulk could use technological weapons, coupled with amazing physical strength, causing some Hulks to simply abandon melee combat. Because the Hulk’s strength and endurance were particularly high, it’s entirely possible to carry a cannon or a heavy weapon such as the Vulcan gum, or even a cannon in the left hand and a rocket launcher in the right hand. Coupled with the thick skin and thick flesh, it’s almost like a humanoid chariot. Some Hulks played with swordsmanship, holding a two or three-meter-long giant sword and becoming a human-shaped meat grinder. Some used a half-ton warhammer to become a humanoid fortress buster. In a period, very few people played melee Hulk.
But in this way, the style of the game suddenly became a bit wrong, and it seriously affected the balance (although there was no balance in this game at all), so in the next version, the game company nefted the Professor Hulk, and changed from the original “decrease 10 points of Intelligence after transformation.” into ‘Intelligence becomes to 8 points after transformation”. In other words, no matter how high the Hulk’s Intelligence point was, it would be 8 points after transformation.
In this way, the Professor Hulk route was completely abolished.
But the game company also considered players’ feelings. Every player who has strengthened the Hulk enhancement got a free opportunity to redistribute Attribute points or clear off the Hulk mutant gene on his body-but only within one month.
However, Qin Yu was unlucky. His company happened to be busy that month. He didn’t play for a whole month and missed the time. As a result, when he re-entered the game, he found that he became the only Professor Hulk in the whole game.
This time his account is completely abolished. After all, a lot of points were added to Intelligence, thus other attributes such as Strength and Endurance would naturally be much smaller. Although they look the same after the transformation, in a fight, people would realize the gap.
Even so, Qin Yu did not retrain because he was busy with work every day and the game time was limited. It was too difficult to retrain an account. In addition, he had some feelings for this account.
As a result, when he got here, he became the person who was dragged by Thanos to talk to him. This was originally an innocuous accident, but because of the following circumstances, the matter became uncontrollable.
At this moment, Qin Yu was a little flustered by Thanos grabbing his neck, because he was surprised to find that he couldn’t move. In fact, this was normal. In order to make the story plot progressed normally, players couldn’t move at this time.
But Qin Yu didn’t know. He thought he had encountered some bugs, and he happened to be facing Thanos’ purple face, so he felt a little nervous.
He struggled hard, but it was useless under the restrictions of the system.
Thanos did not attack but said to himself: “Hulk’s Second Uncle, you are not the only person cursed by knowledge. I have the same wisdom as ordinary people do not have, and I can see things. You have my respect, Hulk’s Second Uncle. When I’m done, half of humanity will still be alive—” Speaking of this, Thanos had a strange look on his face, he vaguely felt It’s a little bit wrong. Looking at the big green guy made him involuntarily feel a strong sense of disharmony, and this awkward sensation also made him feel more and more wrong about everything around him. He seemed to have said this to someone before, and that one was definitely not a guy with a bigger chest muscle than him.
But Thanos was dedicated to his role after all, so he continued.
“I hope they remember you, but before that, Hulk’s Second Uncle, please forgive me for being unaccompanied.”
Thanos planned to raise his hand to throw Qin Yu out, but Qin Yu thought that the other party was going to kill him. He couldn’t move his body, but his mouth was not sealed, so he eagerly resorted to the Talking-no-Jutsu.
“It’s useless, your plan will never succeed.” He said suddenly.
"
"
Originally, the player’s lines would not have any effect, but today probably because of having too complicated thoughts, Thanos’s pace of turning and leaving suddenly stopped.
“What did you say?” He turned his head and stared at Qin Yu, “What do you know?”
“I said that your plan would never be successful. Haven’t you heard of Malthusian population theory and family planning?”
