In fact, Lin Yi thought that after playing Thunder Dragon Afterimage at the opening ceremony, everyone should have considerable confidence in his own strength.
However, now he knows that he was wrong.
If a knowledgeable person, such as a true Star Core level master, saw the exquisite control of the source energy and the power of rules, he would definitely be shocked and would never have any doubts about his ability to defeat an intermediate Abyssal Beast leader alone.
However, no.
"It's a pity that the charming look was given to a blind man."
Lin Yi thought somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"Now this Blue Star, let alone Star Core level, there is not even the second Stardust level."
"In their eyes, my Thunder Dragon may have a good visual effect, but in terms of pure energy intensity, it may not be as intuitive as a heavy aerial bomb or a ballistic missile. They may even think it is not as impactful as the instant destruction of "Small Steel Ball"."
However, the strongest firepower currently available to mankind, such as ballistic missiles, is indeed unsatisfactory in dealing with the intermediate Abyssal Beast leader, and it is difficult to kill with one hit.
From their cognitive perspective, it is reasonable and can even be said to be a responsible behavior for the senior management to have such doubts and adopt such a conservative insurance strategy.
"That's fine."
Lin Yi decided in his heart, "Since words and simple demonstrations are not enough to explain the problem, then use the most direct and crude way to give them a little bit of energy shock."
"It also gives them complete peace of mind, so that they don't have to mobilize troops and waste resources for threats of this level in the future."
He was thinking this in his heart, but Lin Yi didn't show anything on his face. He just nodded to Liu Qiying with a calm tone.
"I understand."
Then, Lin Yi changed the topic and asked for target information, "What is the specific situation of the target leader this time."
Liu Qiying saw that Lin Yi did not express any objection to General Staff's method. He was secretly relieved and introduced quickly.
"The target is a lizard-like Abyssal Beast leader located in the stadium. Its Source Energy Unit is as high as 54,900 and is huge, estimated to exceed fifty meters. It is characterized by extremely thick biological armor, extremely high physical defense, and difficult to penetrate with conventional heavy weapons."
"At the same time, it can spit out ultra-high-temperature corrosive flames from its mouth, with a long range and great power. Based on our previous battles with leaders of the same level, it should also have a certain degree of wisdom and know how to command its subordinate Abyssal Beast."
"In addition, there are 4 elite-level Abyssal Beast around it as guards. The Source Energy Unit are all around 20,000 points. They look like agile hunters. In addition, there are a large number of low-level Abyssal Beast moving around the stadium."
"Lizard type, thick armor."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is its specific location and how far is it from the factory where the equipment is located?"
"The leader is usually located in the center of the stadium, about 3 kilometers away from the core equipment storage point of the factory."
Liu Qiying accurately reported the data, "Because the distance is too close, the factory area is completely within its vigilance range. With its explosive speed, once there is a big movement in the factory area, it will arrive quickly."
"So the plan must be to kill the leader first and then transfer the equipment. The order cannot be messed up."
Lin Yi nodded to express understanding.
Then, he tapped his knees with his fingers seemingly casually, with a playful smile on his face.
"54900."
Lin Yi repeated the number in a low voice, then raised his eyes to look at Liu Qiying, his tone a bit teasing.
"It does sound quite scary. No wonder General Staff is worried."
Liu Qiying was stunned, not fully understanding what Lin Yi meant.
I saw Lin Yi continue to say slowly, "It's no wonder that Source Energy Unit, who is currently 3100, can kill the Abyssal Beast leader with 54900 Source Energy Value in one hit. General Staff feels the need to build such a big battle to be safe."
"After all, the Black Flame Abyssal Tiger and Source Energy Value I killed last time with Small Steel Ball were only 17,900. Now, the Source Energy Value is more than three times that. Even the energy fluctuations of the four elite guards next to it are above 20,000."
"Tsk, tsk. The gap seems quite huge."
Liu Qiying A hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.
Lin Yi's words directly exposed the cautious and even uneasy subtext behind General Staff's mobilization of troops and crowds.
Liu Qiying quickly explained, "Chief instructor, please don't misunderstand, General Staff definitely doesn't mean not to believe you! It's just"
He hesitated and said with a wry smile, "It's just that our style at the General Staff Operations Bureau has always been like this. We strive to be safe in everything. We must make worst-case scenarios and complete preparations. Especially for you, we must not make any mistakes."
Liu Qiying's tone was very sincere, even a little anxious.
Lin Yi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
"No need to explain, I understand. It's completely understandable."
"Actually, I mainly blame myself for this situation. After all, I have never explained in detail how much "rules" can add to the actual destructive power."
"Therefore, it is normal for people to instinctively feel worried when facing a huge numerical gap."
"In the past, I mainly felt that it didn't mean much if I said it."
Lin Yi said, changing the subject, and his eyes fell on Liu Qiying: "However, you have now entered the source energy, and you have embarked on this path. Your future promotion to Stardust level is just around the corner. Regarding the importance of the rules, I can tell you in advance now to give you an idea."
Liu Qiying heard this, and his spirits suddenly lifted.
However, he did not immediately ask Lin Yi to start explaining. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he asked:
"Chief instructor, what you said is very important. Can I record it? Captain Ren Yinuo did not come this time due to the tight position of the crew. I will be temporarily responsible for recording the images and important information of this operation."
"Okay, you might as well record it."
Lin Yi nodded in agreement.
Then, he organized the language slightly and explained in as easy-to-understand a way as possible:
"If the cultivation of source energy is compared to a person's growth process, then "Source Energy Unit" or the total amount of source energy is equivalent to the "strength" of this person. The greater the strength, the natural advantage will be obvious."
"And "rules"." Lin Yi paused, looking for a suitable metaphor, "To put it simply, it can be regarded as a "weapon", or the ultimate expression of "methods and techniques" for the use of power."
"A fight between two people who don't know how to apply the rules is like a fight between strong men with bare hands. The competition is about who is stronger and whose fighting skills are better. At this time, the level of Source Energy Unit can determine the outcome to a large extent."
"And if one party has initially understood and can apply the rules, then the situation is completely different."
"Just like I'm going to deal with this Abyssal Beast later"
Lin Yi pointed at himself and then in the direction of the stadium.
"Essentially, I'm like a grade school kid holding a loaded pistol and attacking a muscular, grown man."
"To kill this strong man, all I need to use is just a little bit of force to pull the trigger. The kinetic energy and rule-breaking contained in the pistol bullets are far beyond what a flesh and blood body such as source energy can contend with."
This metaphor is very vivid, Liu Qiying suddenly understood.
So that's it.
Rules can actually be regarded as a "weapon" that can span huge energy level gaps.
This explains why Chief Instructor Lin Source Energy Unit is "not high" but has such terrifying combat power expectations.
Looking at Liu Qiying's longing and enlightened expression, Lin Yi smiled, fearing that he would misunderstand, and added:
"However, this statement must be divided into different categories. It does not mean that as long as you understand the rules, you will be able to ignore all energy gaps and have an absolute advantage."
"If you have just understood the rules and are only at the most introductory stage, the degree of mastery is very superficial. Well, using the same metaphor, it is like a child holding only a small-caliber, weak pistol in his hand, but wanting to hunt a rhinoceros with a rough and thick skin."
"It is conceivable that the bullet may not even be able to penetrate the rhino's thick skin. Instead, it will anger it and bring fatal danger to yourself."
"So."
Lin Yi emphasized, "The total amount of source energy is equally important, it is the foundation and carrier. The rule is the amplifier, but the amplifier itself also needs enough "input power" to produce astonishing effects."
"The basic power is too weak. Even with the blessing of rules, the absolute destructive power output may not be enough."
Liu Qiying nodded seriously and kept these words in mind.
Lin Yi thought for a while and simply gave a more intuitive standard.
In this way, in the future General Staff can also initially build Source Energy Practitioner's combat power evaluation system based on his description and combined with Source Energy Unit's values.
In this way, a preliminary assessment of combat effectiveness can be made for other Stardust level who may understand the rules in the future.
"According to my experience, for Source Energy Practitioner, the rules only require a preliminary introduction."
"Well, it can be regarded as mastering the most superficial 1% level of understanding of a certain rule, that is, reaching the threshold of Star Core level, which can bring about an extremely considerable increase."
"It can probably achieve about ten times the basic source energy attack effect."
"That's why, when my Source Energy Unit was about 2000, I was able to kill the Source Energy Value 17900's Abyssal Beast with one hit. My equivalent attack power at that time was about 20,000, which can cause a crushing effect, which is enough."
"Ten times increase?!"
Liu Qiying This time, I finally couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
This increase ratio is really terrifying. No wonder there is such a big gap between Stardust level who mastered the rules and those who didn't.
But he immediately thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and he blurted out. "But Chief Instructor, your Source Energy Unit is 3100. So based on the ten-fold increase, the equivalent attack power is only 31,000. Is this you?"
Liu Qiying suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Yi in a daze.
Seeing Liu Qiying's face change slightly, Lin Yi knew that he had roughly guessed it.
He nodded and admitted directly.
"The ten times I just mentioned is just a beginner level."
Lin Yi's tone was still calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"The understanding of the rules is constantly deepening, and as the degree of understanding deepens, the increase multiple of the source energy will also become higher and higher."
He paused and continued, "To give you an example that is not particularly precise but easy for you to understand, if you initially understand the rules and reach about 1% understanding, you can get about 10 times the amplitude."
"But after that, every time Rule Comprehension increases by about 1%, its increase in source energy attack will probably double."
Liu Qiying immediately made rapid calculations in his mind.
Lin Yi didn't wait for him to finish the calculation. He patted him on the shoulder and revealed the answer, "As for me, my current understanding of the rules is about 12%."
Liu Qiying was startled suddenly, and his brain seemed to have shut down for a second.
12%?
According to the algorithm just mentioned by the chief instructor, 1% is 10 times, and the increase will be doubled for every 1% increase thereafter.
So 2% is 11 times? 3% is 12 times?
No! The chief instructor said "double". This expression needs to be made clear.
Liu Qiying I feel like my CPU is about to burn out.
Lin Yi looked at his confused look, smiled, and directly gave the answer, "Don't forget it, a rough estimate is that it is about 22 times the amplitude."
22 times!
Liu Qiying got the result instantly: 3100 Source Energy Unit× 22 times amplitude = equivalent attack power 68200!
68200!!!
This number far exceeds the target Abyssal Beast leader's 54900 Source Energy Value. As for the four elite guards next to him, they are not worth mentioning.
Crush!
This is an absolute crushing advantage!
It turns out that Chief Instructor Lin's strength has reached such an incredible level. The revealed Source Energy Unit is just the tip of the iceberg, and Rule Comprehension is the huge mountain hidden under the sea!
Looking at Liu Qiying's "So you are so perverted" expression, Lin Yi smiled meaningfully, "Now, you should feel relieved, right?"
He paused and turned his gaze to the window, his tone carrying a hint of meaning.
"Of course, these are just my words for now. You can write them down later."
"Because I discovered that after Rule Comprehension breaks through 10%, the power it can display is a whole new world."
"So, what I just told you may no longer apply to me now."
