Chapter 50: Combat Techniques

"Damn it," muttered Liu Xing under his breath when he learned that Chen Ming's source of fear was the fog. Li Ming was indeed lucky—now that the entire Harvest Festival venue was shrouded in mist, which meant that Li Ming's source of fear was omnipresent, plunging him inevitably into a state of fear.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

"Let's now determine the duration of Li Ming's descent into temporary madness," KP Cao said with a cold laugh. "However, due to the peculiar nature of this mirror world, the time unit has shifted from hours to five-minute increments. I might as well be blunt with you—if you can't escape the mirror world within an hour, your chances of passing this promotion game are slim to none. So, I urge you all to carry on with your roles after this throw, and seek the path to escape."

Li Ming rolled a six—the duration of his temporary insanity would be 30 minutes!

As the dice settled, Liu Xing saw Li Ming's pupils dilate instantly, his breathing become rapid, and his limbs start to tremble.

Just as Liu Xing was about to conduct a psychological analysis on Li Ming, Tian Dao, who stood beside him, suddenly delivered a chop to Li Ming's neck. Without any need for a check, Li Ming collapsed, unconscious...

"We need to open a Private Room," declared Tian Dao, immediately requesting private time from KP Cao after knocking Li Ming out.

Although KP Cao did not respond, Liu Xing was familiar with the unique sense of spatial dislocation that occurred when a Private Room was initiated, and thus knew it had been activated.

"My profession is that of a martial artist; the technique I just used is one of my combat moves," explained Tian Dao. "Li Ming's will has already collapsed, allowing me to knock him out with ease. It's currently our best option."

"By the way, Tian Dao, do you know how long it will be before Li Ming wakes up?" Akira Akashi asked, pointing at Li Ming, who lay on the ground.

Tian Dao felt a bit embarrassed as he scratched his head, "Uh, because combat skills are different from abilities, the effects they can cause aren't described in detail. Moreover, there is no check for how long Li Ming will remain unconscious, so I can't guarantee when he will wake up..."

Tina frowned slightly, speaking helplessly, "That means we can only carry Li Ming with us for now. After all, we can't just leave him somewhere hidden and continue our exploration, can we?"

Tian Dao sighed reluctantly and nodded, "Tina, you're right. We can't just abandon a teammate. So, let me carry Li Ming. My strength and build are considerable, and carrying Li Ming will only reduce my agility by 15 points."

Liu Xing observed the robust Tian Dao, then looked at his own unimpressive strength and stature, and finally glanced at Li Ming lying on the ground. Eventually, he abandoned the idea of taking turns with Tian Dao to carry Li Ming. After all, Liu Xing suspected he might not even manage to lift Li Ming...

"Moreover, we can now be fairly certain that there's a mythical creature within this mirror world, and it might have already taken control of Nan Xiaoniao's mother. So, Tina, it would be best if you either held on to or simply carried Nan Xiaoniao to prevent her from wandering off. Also, while the mission doesn't explicitly state whether we need to rescue Nan Xiaoniao, successfully doing so will definitely affect our clearance rating. Hence, I suggest we try our best to save Nan Xiaoniao," Liu Xing said, looking over at Nan Xiaoniao.

Tina nodded, as among those present, she had the best relationship with Nan Xiaoniao.

"Another thing, I have a question. Tina and Akira Akashi, are you both foreign players?" At that moment, Tian Dao curiously asked a question that Liu Xing also wanted to ask but felt too embarrassed to voice.

"No, I'm also from our country," Tina and Akira Akashi said in unison.
