Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

"Could the person who invented this profession be a genius?" Sea of ​​Tranquility murmured, finding it quite interesting.

It's like when a group of people were still arguing about which came first, the chicken or the egg. The magician borrowed an egg from the future and performed a trick of hatching a chick from the egg. From then on, everyone believed that 'egg hatched' Chicken", the whole logic was determined.

Although it is still an unsolved mystery whether the chicken or the egg came first, that is not the magician's business.

"The power of a magician comes from past and future performances. The more successful performances you have performed in the past, the more power you can use; the more types of performances you complete, the more skills you can display." Connor De said with a smile, "The power gathered in a performance can only be mobilized once in a period of time.

When you are in a tough battle, exhausted of resources, and at the end of your rope, you can still draw power from the goddess of fate for the future. However, whether you can succeed or not depends on whether the goddess favors you. "

He winked at the Sea of ​​Tranquility meaningfully: "However, as long as the goddess favors you and allows you to use the power of the future, then you can basically confirm that you have a great probability of surviving in this battle. After all, the goddess Never make a losing investment.

He does not lend His power to the dead. "

"Huh?" Sea of ​​Tranquility raised an eyebrow, as if he had discovered some blind spot, "So, as long as I borrow the power of the future, if I don't repay it, there is a high probability that I will be blessed by the goddess? Otherwise, I will die before repaying the debt. , wouldn’t the goddess suffer a big loss?”

"Hiss!" Conard suddenly shuddered, "No, no, there is a saying: it is not difficult to borrow again. If you don't repay the debt through performances, you will anger the goddess, and the goddess will harvest you. You can’t have such dangerous thoughts! Fate is watching everyone all the time!”

Sea of ​​Tranquility bowed to the void in a serious manner: "I'm just curious, and I don't mean to default on the debt or disrespect the goddess. Please continue to look after me, Sister Bangyi~ Refill ╭?"

Conrad: "...?" This guy is so weird!

No wonder, the goddess of fate once said that if these adventurers from Amt County want to learn their special skills, except for the situation like the one just now where their own qualifications are not up to standard, they have to do their best to teach them.

What's more, he felt that this weird guy who only wanted to take advantage of loopholes seemed to be very talented in the profession of magician.

“Magician is a skill that needs to be accumulated.” Conard said, “If we want to perform [stage magic] off the stage, we must first [perform] on the stage.

[Performance] on the stage can be accomplished using mechanisms, assistants, and blinders. Whether it's visual illusions, psychological tricks or clever tricks, as long as you win the trust of your audience, you can perform special skills we call "stage magic" off the stage.

This skill is not real magic, but the 'result' of what I said before, the 'cognition' produced by the audience's belief in your performance.

A magician can only borrow his own past or future 'cognitive results', not those of other magicians."

"Understood." Tranquility Sea said clearly: "You can use your own performance by yourself. You can use the corresponding skill once after successfully completing a magic performance. There will be a cool-down period after the skill is used up. But if you have completed it dozens or even several times, Performing the same kind of performance hundreds of times can increase the number of times the corresponding skill can be used to an unlimited number of times.”

"Exactly, but it must be noted that magic is an art of deception. It only has power when it makes the audience "believe". "

Conard raised three fingers solemnly, "Therefore, there are three rules for magic performances: first, the secret of magic cannot be revealed to any audience or outsiders; second, the same magic cannot be performed twice to the same audience. , in particular, you must not perform repeated performances in similar time periods and similar venues; thirdly, unless it is part of your performance, you cannot reveal to the audience what you are going to perform next.”

"I know this." Sea of ​​Tranquility has heard of similar rules before: "The first is to ensure that the magic techniques are not known to others, and the second is to ensure that the audience is fresh and does not give the audience a chance to reveal the techniques. The third thing is to maximize the audience’s expectations for the next performance.”

"Genius!" Conard exclaimed, "You are indeed a genius! You actually saw through the intentions behind the rules so quickly!"

"Hehe." Tranquility Sea, who had reaped the dividends brought by the knowledge of another world, smiled enigmatically.

"These three rules are easier said than done. Especially the second one. If you want to do this thoroughly, the best way is to perform a magic show only once. But doing so is too maneuverable. "It's too low, and the cost is too high," Conrad lamented, "Every magic show is a painstaking performance by the magician: carefully designed stage scenes, tailor-made props, and thousands of exercises. Techniques, techniques and speech skills that can only be developed through rehearsal...

If you only use it once, the investment would be too huge.

Even for some magicians, it takes ten or twenty years to create a beautiful magic trick. If it can only be a flash in the pan, how can they have another ten or twenty years to create a second completely beautiful magic trick? Different magic? "

"And if you consider the skill cooldown time, the more magic tricks a magician performs, the shorter the cooldown time, and the stronger he will be." Tranquility Sea also thought from the player's perspective.

"So, wandering is the best thing for magicians." Conrad said with a smile, "Every time you go to a new city, there will be a new group of audiences. Every performance is a new experience for them! If you are really worried, you can go further, go to remote villages and tribes...

In each place, you only stay briefly and perform only one show! If you want to perform for many days, it must be a different show!

As long as you go to enough places, you can fill the required performances, make the fake become real, turn the scam into fact, and turn technology into magic!

From then on, you can perform [stage magic] on and off the stage as you like, and no one can expose your magic!

The more ignorant and startled the audience is, the easier it is for them to immerse themselves in your performance and provide you with the best power."

The Sea of ​​Tranquility suddenly realized: "Smart, really smart!"

But he then savored it carefully and felt something was wrong: "Wait, what if the magic I perform has been performed by my colleagues in the same place?"
