“The name of the ability itself is the function of the ability.”
"Common sense 2."
"The name of the ability also represents the method by which the ability evolves."
"What does this mean?" Ying Lili looked confused.
"Seventy-three" and Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to be thinking about something.
At this time, Luo Shu glanced at Ying Lili, motioning her to be quiet, and then said:
"For example, I gained an ability called 'Wind Element Manipulation'."
"As the name suggests, I can control the flow of wind after gaining this ability."
"That's the first point. The name of the ability indicates what the ability does."
"And secondly, the name of the ability is also the secret of evolution."
"It literally means that if you carefully explore how to use your abilities, you can become stronger. It can also be understood as a 'proficiency' mechanism."
Luo Shu stretched out his hand, and a whirlwind slowly formed on his palm and continued to rotate in his hand.
This is the wind ability that Luo Shu possesses. Although this ability was absorbed by the job of the Disaster Messenger, it does not mean that it disappeared, but rather it was integrated into the 'job'.
"With the ability of 'wind element manipulation', I can continuously consume my body's energy, use it skillfully, study the upper limit of my ability, gain proficiency, and thus push my ability to the limit."
"You can understand this kind of game-like statement, right?
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
As Japanese people, and those who are more otaku-oriented, they have naturally come into contact with games, so it is not difficult for them to understand.
"This is the orthodox way to get promoted. Just understand it. Next, I will tell you about the unorthodox way."
Luo Shu smiled when he saw this, and then suddenly swung the whirlwind in his hand towards the two of them.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was wearing a school uniform, immediately covered the hem of her skirt with her hands.
The same thing happened to Eriri standing beside her.
"ah!"
"What are you doing!"
Seeing the two people's panic, Luo Shu said calmly:
"You who are not involved may not be aware of it, but I, who used wind element manipulation and attacked you, just gained the proficiency of using wind techniques seriously '10 times'."
"What?" Kasumigaoka Utaha, who finally remembered that she was wearing safety pants, raised her head and asked alertly, "What do you mean? Influence?"
“Yes, influence, or belief, or more accurately, concept.
"When I used the wind to influence you, all three parties were surrounded by the wind. The wind's audience increased, and the concept of 'wind' was strengthened in the vicinity."
"As an elite, I can only passively absorb a little bit of the concept of wind. Therefore, my ability is showing signs of increasing proficiency."
"Of course, you can also understand that I attacked you with wind and directly gained some experience passively."
Luo Shu paused for a moment, then reminded seriously:
"Using your own abilities to influence others, getting feedback from them, and thus quickly improving your abilities, this is the way to get promoted through evil means.
"And the most effective way of this evil way is to influence some people or things that have a strong influence in the 'human society' and 'natural environment'. "For example, if my manipulation of the wind element directly affects the formation of a typhoon and causes large-scale economic losses to the island country, or even causes a storm to flood Tokyo!"
Luo Shu said this with deep meaning:
"Then my abilities will get 'feedback' from things like this and meet the requirements for promotion in an instant."
"Rapidly improving one's abilities through this method is the so-called 'evil way'.
"Use your abilities to make the corresponding concepts manifest quickly, so that you can quickly become stronger. This is the method of advancement in the evil way."
Hearing these words, Kasumigaoka Utaha instantly thought of the danger of the "evil" method.
If a person's special ability is 'earthquake', then if he wants to quickly improve his ability, the best way is to induce an extremely large-scale earthquake, which will be fatal to innocent people and things.
Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately asked: "Ordinary people also have this kind of 'feedback', right? Can the specific amount be summarized?"
"Yes, but very little. As for the number, how can we summarize and compare it?"
Luo Shu looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with admiration, and then explained:
"If you are Shiyu's standard, it would take about a million people to have the same impact as you alone."
“To attack you with the wind is the same as to attack a million people, and the same goes for killing them.
"It takes a million people to be comparable to me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but ask, as if she wanted to confirm something.
"That's right." Luo Shu added: "The feedback of ordinary-level ability users is equivalent to that of a thousand ordinary people, while the feedback of excellent-level ability users is a thousand times that of ordinary ability users. The above may also be this value."
"Is it in decimal system?" Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly realized and felt much more relieved at the same time.
If this is the case, then the safety of ordinary people will be improved.
Even if the safety level is increased by 0.
At this time, Mu Geng, who had been listening for a long time, immediately took the time to interrupt in order to avoid being excluded:
"According to what you said, Master Shu, the orthodox ability promotion will not affect others, so you can just improve your ability on your own."
"The difference between the orthodox method of improving oneself by influencing others and the heretical method of improving oneself is that the strength of the orthodox method depends on one's own connections, while the strength of the heretical method depends on how many people's lives one can influence with one's abilities."
"Correct."
Luo Shu nodded, then patted Mu Geng, motioning her to sit on the stool next to him, and then said:
"According to the common sense I have learned, at the same stage, the average plan for the evil way to advance is to influence one hundred beings of the same level and make an indelible impact on them. This will almost certainly allow them to advance to the next stage. For orthodox practice, it all depends on individual effort and talent."
"I see."
At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally understood what Luo Shu meant:
"After saying so much, Luo Shu, you just want to tell us how to become stronger and let us choose for ourselves?"
"Yes." Luo Shu smiled.
Ying Lili, who was slow to react, also reacted at this time:
"So that means, if I want to improve my abilities, I will have to use Transformation more often, or use Transformation to influence others?"
"The orthodox method is fine, but the evil method, do you want me to become my mother and deceive people?"
"Uh, you feel like you're going to get beaten, right? You're definitely going to get beaten, right?"
Do you still want to become like your mother and deceive people? Luo Shu looked at Ying Lili very subtly, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
He said angrily:
"How about you just turn into me and tease Miss Sayuri?"
"This way you can both trick your mother and gain 'feedback' on your abilities by influencing me. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
"That's right." Eriri suddenly realized something. Who would look like you and harass their own mother? I'm not a fool!!"
"You are quite self-aware." Luo Shu opened his dead fish eyes and looked at Ying Lili.
Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka Utaha on the side couldn’t help laughing and said:
"Sawamura-kun."
"You seem to have forgotten what Luo Shujun just said, that ordinary people have very low feedback."
"So, changing into your mother, Ms. Sayuri Sawamura, to do bad things won't have much effect. The only way is to change into his appearance as Luo Shu said and do bad things.
At this time, Kisara raised his hand, pointed at Eriri, and said in an attitude of "there is only one truth":
"So you actually just want to frame your mother, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have thought of this method in the first place!"
"Ah, this..." Ying Lili was stunned when she heard this.
Could it be that she really has such a dark heart that she wants to be beaten by her mother?
Am I so mean? Eriri fell into self-reflection.
Chapter 17 The Benefits of Power
(Throat discomfort, fatigue, coughing, ugh, my mentality is a bit exploded.)
Just as Eriri was in self-doubt, Kasumigaoka Utaha beside her crossed her right leg over her left leg and said with a slightly distressed look:
"So if I want to make my abilities stronger, I have to hypnotize a warlock of the same level or even higher?"
"Are you sure this isn't suicide?"
Although she knew how to improve her abilities, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't be happy.
Unlike Eriri's 'Transformation' which seemed useless and mostly involved mischief and framing, her 'mind-reading ability' and 'hypnosis ability' were difficult to improve using evil methods.
Apart from her increasingly healthy and even overly strong body, she has no direct combat capabilities.
Hearing Shiyu's answer, Luo Shu shook his head:
“If you want to become stronger quickly, there is no price to pay.
Speaking of which, the abilities of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri are the type that are not good in frontal combat but have strong auxiliary capabilities.
Transformation allows Eriri to pretend to be anyone, while Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind reading and hypnosis can easily obtain all kinds of confidential information.
To some extent, the demon warlock Ishaha, who had taken over other people's bodies several times before, fell into Shiyu's hands.
Therefore, considering that Kasumigaoka Utaha's ability would greatly promote a department that needs to take into account the "guarding of dangerous lives", Luo Shu had to consider the matter of "substitute".
And since Shiyu has the help of a substitute, Luo Shu naturally cannot abandon Ying Lili. He should at least give her some opportunities to ensure "fairness on the surface".
"The improvement of your abilities is indeed a problem for you."
Although in the eyes of the system, the promotion of ability only requires points, Luo Shu did not forget that the promotion of hero rank already requires the assistance of "ritual".
Considering that the ceremony must have extremely high quality requirements, those who are strong enough by just accumulating points may not be able to pass and be promoted.
In this case, even if Luo Shu wants to play as a substitute, he can't go too far. At least he should let the two of them exercise their abilities.
"As I just said, the Secret Management Department is responsible for managing Abyssal Props and dangerous Abyssal Life."
"According to the intelligence I received, some of the 'dangerous goods' held underground in Lycoris will be transferred to our department in about a week."
"With this in mind, you will most likely not lack people to practice your abilities with in the future."
"What do you mean?" Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately understood what Luo Shu meant.
Are they asking them to use those imprisoned 'dangerous abyss creatures' as materials for practicing their abilities?
Knowing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but murmur, "Is this the benefit of being a powerful force?"
She more or less understood why Luo Shu immediately assisted in the mission after joining SDS.
The resources of the big forces are indeed convenient enough to better strengthen the 'group of gods'?
After hearing this, Eriri, who was standing by, asked quietly:
"But wouldn't it be criticized to use the guards' 'dangerous lives' as training targets?"
"It's okay. I will apply to the Supreme Chancellor."
Luo Shu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry about this issue.
He has worked with Wilde to research the 'method to awaken the flame of death' these past few days and has executed many 'death row prisoners', but Lux has not expressed any opinions.
Apart from the island country's Minister of Justice approving a few more execution documents, there has been no significant impact.
Luo Shu even heard that some death row inmates were quite happy when they knew they were going to be "executed", after all, they had waited in line for 18 years before receiving the execution notice.
Compared to Eriri's worries, Kasumigaoka Utaha was more concerned about this 'Supreme Speaker'. Why did she always feel that there was something subtly wrong with Luo Shu's tone and expression when he talked about the other party?
The Supreme Speaker, isn't she a very beautiful woman?
With a little doubt in her heart, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked casually:
"I suggest that when we apply to the Supreme Speaker, we state our situation. This way, it should be easier to get approved, right?"
When Luo Shu heard this, he touched his chin and said, "That's true."
It's confirmed, the Supreme Speaker must be a woman, and she has a very close relationship with Luo Shu. Considering her own family's situation, Kasumigaoka Utaha seriously doubts whether the Supreme Speaker is already Luo Shu's "dependent".
