Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

Yu Yuling took out a metal cube the size of a Rubik's Cube with a mechanical structure from his storage pocket. He pressed a touch screen button on one side, and the cube quickly unfolded into a square plate with a side length of one meter and a width of nearly ten millimeters.

"My sister." Yu Yuling placed the metal plate upright on the ground and said gently.

"This is the [Damage Value Meter] developed by Jiaden. It can visualize the abstract concept of the damage we cause, turning it into a string of numbers, so that we can clearly see the tactical output value caused."

"...How do you have such advanced things?" Prism asked.

"Oh, I took it with me when I defected." Yu Yuling said gently, then he stepped back a few steps away from the plate and looked at the prism.

"My sister, let's test it according to your tactical profession first. There are two types of thief talents, [Immune to Decay] and [Quick Dive]:

First of all, you should know that there is an abstract concept in the thief's latent mode: the latent value. Generally speaking, under the same latent value, the slower the accumulation speed of the latent value, the higher the latent benefit... but the time to enter the latent state will also be extended.

Under the so-called [Immune to Decay] talent, the factor that affects the latent benefits will change from [Accumulation Speed] to [Late Amount]... This means that the accumulation speed of latent value will no longer affect the benefits. This also means that thieves with this talent can increase the accumulation speed of latent value without any worries and will no longer be affected. "

"...What about [Speed ​​Dive]?" Prism asked after thinking for a moment. Yu Yuling smiled gently and said:

"You must also know that the speed at which a thief accumulates latent value when stationary and when moving is different. The former is much faster than the latter, and there is no benefit from being slow in this aspect... However, with the [Fast Dive] talent, this rule will be ruthlessly torn apart, that is, the accumulation speed when moving is as fast as when stationary, and there is no penalty."

"…How to measure?" Prism asked again.

"Just do as I say, my sister." Yu Yuling said softly, "During the time of [Seeking God], I conducted talent tests for many recruits. Although not a single one was found to have talent... But it makes sense."

...Afterwards, Yu Yuling explained the main steps of the test to Prism. After understanding, Prism thought for a moment, and finally held the Spear of Destiny in his hand, choosing this single-shot weapon as the test weapon.

"Ha~ my sister." Just as Prism was about to attack the damage meter, Yu Yuling on the side suddenly said.

"If your talent belongs to the summoning field, why don't you change your job to a summoner? I'll give you all my summoner accessories, equipment and weapons... ha~ let my sister wear the battle armor I used... aha~"

He’s sick again… Prism thought speechlessly.

……

The pink-white flame missile thrown by Shen Yue seemed very fragile. The moment it touched the stone, it exploded into sparks all over the ground, and then burned the stone into smoke at a speed visible to the naked eye...

But this is not over yet. Under Xi Yao's gaze, the stones were quickly burned away by the flames. Then, the soil that came into contact with the sparks was also quickly burned away... Soon, a hole was burned out on the ground, and it was constantly deepening underground.

Xi Yao watched this scene quietly, then turned to look at Shen Yue, who had a proud look on his face, obviously waiting for Xi Yao to be amazed.

"What kind of flame is this?" Xi Yao said calmly.

"Uh... yes, what kind of flame is that..." Shen Yue fell into deep thought, "Wow... I remember my mom told me... Oh, I forgot."

Xi Yao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Shen Yue and said calmly: "Let's not talk about anything else. In fact, apart from your name, we don't know who you are."

"Uh... this..." Shen Yue scratched his head, obviously hesitant, "Can I tell you that I am a gluttonous python from the universe... I shouldn't... this..."

Hearing this, Xi Yao opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly, Shen Yue jumped up in panic, "Ah, oh no, why did I say this out loud, ah, ah, can the Terrans know this?!"

"..." Xi Yao held his forehead and was silent for a long time... After a while, Shen Yue seemed to realize something and quickly calmed down.

"Oh, forget it, I've already said it out." After saying that, Shen Yue crossed her arms and said proudly, "Humph, I'm a gluttonous python from the universe."

"……Then what?"

"Hehe, I'm a gluttonous python from the universe. Of course I can devour souls and bodies. Just yesterday, when I arrived at Terra, I found a great temptation - a golden soul. I was planning to devour him directly, but then I learned that his golden soul could regenerate, so I wanted to make him a golden slave... But now... just let me follow him and rub against him, and don't insult him."

"..." Xi Yao hesitated as he was about to say something. Then he rubbed his temple and said, "So, Universe Taotie Python, you came to the Terra continent like this, and then in order to absorb some gold source soul, you chose to stay in a team composed of humans?"

Shen Yue waved her hands: "Hey, my nagging mom said that as long as I don't make trouble or do stupid things, it's fine. You know, I've been staying at home in my little universe for hundreds of time grains. I'm bored to death. Can't I come and play with the Terrans?"

Seeing Xi Yao's calm face, Shen Yue thought he didn't believe it, so she was eager to prove it: "How about... I turn back into a giant python to prove it?"

"No need." Xiyao waved his hand, "I believe your words."

"Eh? Why? You believe me when I tell you?"

"Your perception ability is indeed very accurate, which is not something that humans can possess." After saying that, Xi Yao turned his head and looked at the prism.

"When you just met those two, you said something that was half right... or maybe completely right, and you called me the Original Light... That's right."

"Eh? Is that so?" Shen Yue thought for a moment, "Then why are you so calm? I'm an alien."

"Before you, there was another alien creature on the Terra continent. Although I have never seen it, I have seen the traces he left... In addition, we have also destroyed several of his mechanical creations." Xi Yao said, meaning that the novelty was no longer there.

"Hey, are you talking about the mechanical madman my mom mentioned..." Shen Yue thought for a moment and then said, "Well, anyway, since you know what I am, you can't refuse me from joining your team. Humph, I can't let Jin Yuanpo go."

Xi Yao held his forehead with his hand: "...Then, alien creature, you should settle down here first, find a house or something..."

"Oh, no need. I'll go back to my own little universe." Shen Yue waved her hand. Then she opened the purple vortex and walked into it with brisk steps. The vortex dissipated and the whole person disappeared on the spot.

...Soon, a purple vortex appeared a few meters away from Shen Yue’s disappearing point. Then she walked out briskly and looked at Xi Yao.

"Hehe, the little universe inside is where I live."

Xi Yao reminded: "...Just to explain, if you join our team, you will often have to fight and explore together."

"Oh, it's okay. I'm enjoying it! I've long wanted to explore the Terra continent. As for fighting, hehe, like I said, I'm very strong." Shen Yue crossed his arms and said proudly.

……

Yu Yuling silently put away the damage meter and looked at the prism quietly. Since the test was over, the latter had been released from its dormant state.

"..." He just looked at Prism, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak. Although Prism was confused, he just stood there and waited for Yu Yuling to speak.

...The two of them were silent for a long time...Finally, Prism couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do you want to say something?"

Yu Yuling's calm expression suddenly became a little excited: "Oh, I'm fine, I was just stunned because of you just now." After saying this, he obviously paused.

"...What's the result?" Prism asked, and at the same time she turned to look at Xi Yao, who also turned his head to look at her, and their eyes met.

"..." Yu Yuling wanted to say something but stopped. He took a deep breath, then slowly walked to the side of the prism, turned his head slightly to look into her eyes, and his expression gradually revealed a hint of tenderness and happiness.

"...My sister." Yu Yuling said, "Do you know who is the first and only person in the history of Terra who has dual talents?"

Prism thought for a moment: "...I remember it was... [God of Ninja] Statis, who possessed both thief and talent..."

“Yes.” Yu Yuling said, “Because of the complementary nature of the two thief talents, plus Statis’ own powerful strength, he was able to become a demigod with his own strength alone, and became a thief who is revered as the God of Ninja by the world.”

"So?" Prism didn't understand Yu Yuleng's intention of mentioning Statis.

"..." Yu Yuling hesitated for a moment, then he took a deep breath again and said slowly:

"...Now, it is clear that there is a second person with dual thief talents on the Terra continent."
