Yu Kuangtu suddenly clapped his hands and exclaid, "I've got it!"
He pointed at the computer screen. At that mont, the Disaster ssenger appeared to have arrived in the dense jungles of a small island in the Pacific Ocean. On the island, there was clearly a group of Fishn with scaly armor and shining eyes.
These Fishn had no tools and were naked, dragging their fishtails on the ground as they moved, but they possessed two sturdy arms. They were building a fire and roasting seabirds to eat.
But suddenly, the wind picked up and the ground shook. The fire ignited the nearby brush, and the flas began to spread rapidly, terrifying the Fishn, who started scattering and fleeing in all directions.
However, the fire also spread towards the brush where the Disaster Girl was hiding. Therefore, she couldn't remain hidden any longer and leaped out to Charge at the scattering Fishn!
"See that? The Disaster ssenger has invoked her Calamity Authority," Yu Kuangtu said. "But several tis in a row, the Calamities that descended on the enemies also affected the Disaster ssenger. What does that tell us?"
Li Dan picked up where Yu Kuangtu left off, "The Disaster ssenger can no longer perfectly control her Calamity Authority."
"Exactly!" Yu Kuangtu declared. "The Calamity Authority might not be as simple as it appears on screen. It's likely a Spell that requires a great deal of focus. Previously, the Disaster ssenger might have underperford in combat to perfectly execute her Calamity Authority."
"Actually, she didn't underperform by much..." Ren Suo muttered softly.
"Now, the Disaster ssenger has devoted all her Concentration to combat. That's why there are problems with the execution of her Calamity Authority," Yu Kuangtu continued. "I've had the sa problem when trying to handle Fla Spells and lee fighting in combat—my Fla Spells would either detonate prematurely or dissipate because I was trying to multitask."
Nan Xi nodded. "So, the Disaster ssenger can't multitask?"
"Not necessarily," Qiao Muyi hypothesized. "Perhaps the fact that the Calamities the Disaster ssenger brings down now also affect her is related to her greatly increased strength. Inflicting Calamities on enemies brings them bad luck, but bringing Calamities upon herself could be a way of Strengthening her weaker aspects?"
Bai Ji said, "The Supre Supre isn't speaking. Could it be because he has already noticed that the Disaster ssenger's abnormality today is due to the Cloud Sky Palace, and his bad mood is why he remains silent?"
Everyone felt this made sense. Nan Xi sumd it up, "So, the reason for the Disaster ssenger's sudden increase in strength today could be one of two things: either she is multitasking and displaying previously hidden strength, or she is enhancing her combat abilities by imposing Calamities upon herself. By the way, Ren Suo, what do you think?"
"Ah?" Ren Suo, who had been quietly listening to their speculation without speaking, blinked back to awareness. He coughed twice and said, "Ah, well, you've already said everything I was thinking. That's exactly what I think. Anyway, as a Ren Naiser Expert and Fairy Palace Expert, I believe that the Disaster ssenger's condition today is temporary. Maybe tomorrow, the Disaster ssenger will revert to how she was a few days ago. However, everyone's thinking ability is strong and has fully clarified so parts that I hadn't thoroughly thought through."
Nan Xi looked at Ren Suo with a touch of admiration. "No, the most crucial aspect is your noticing the unusual elents in today's live stream. You're truly exceptional, worthy of soone who advanced to a Level 3 Researcher by studying Ren Naiser."
You Jiu also praised, "Master, you are truly worthy. I thought the Queen's strength had suddenly improved by leaps and bounds, but it seems there are so many Qiankun Maneuvers behind it."
Yu Kuangtu added, "Alright Ren Suo, later you should arrange the points we discussed and post them on the internal network under the na of the Tactical Bureau... Don't glare at . I'm not imposing a word limit this ti, and you'll get the Points. Happy now?"
After the discussion ended, everyone resud watching the live stream. Ren Suo secretly broke into a cold sweat. Heaven knows how they deduced so much from those clues: the fight for favor, the Strengthening of weaknesses, the Supre Supre being in a bad mood...
Those parts that seed strange to them did not seem strange to Ren Suo at all.
Because in the 'Internet Addiction Mode' Ren Suo set for the clone, he aid to accommodate its lack of complex creativity and Understanding. Therefore, Ren Suo had authorized the clone to do only two things:
In the Destiny Cards, complete all the cards, choosing the first option when faced with a selection (the clone wasn't capable of analyzing which option would trigger a Destiny Cards determination);
In combat, just fight, and use 'Flash Step' whenever there's a chance.
Luckily, the event system and combat system of 'Hand of Fate' are not complex. Even a clone could easily navigate it. This certainly wouldn't be more difficult than the clone going ten kiloters to the Jian Ji Noodle Shop to buy Zha Jiang beef brisket lo in.
That's why today's Disaster Girl would occasionally inflict Calamities upon enemies and other tis just brazenly rush in.
Then, maybe because the clone was more focused when gaming, today's Disaster Girl was a bit stronger than the Disaster Girl Ren Suo usually controlled.
As for the Supre Supre and the Disaster Girl not talking, that was naturally normal—Ren Suo hadn't given such an instruction to the clone.
In fact, seeing the clone play so well, Ren Suo did think, "Maybe I should let the clone play this ga for from now on."
However, he quickly realized a major problem with the clone—its luck was terrible.
From the broadcast, Ren Suo could see that in all the Destiny Card decisions made by the clone, it kept drawing 'Great Despair'—resulting in bad luck for both the enemy and itself.
This was only because the clone's raw strength was great enough to forcefully fight its way through; otherwise, it would've been tough for Ren Suo.
Because of this, Ren Suo dared not let the clone continue to act recklessly. It was only because today's battle involved only lee Extraordinary Creatures that the Disaster Girl was able to crush her way through.
If the boss could attack from a distance or unleash a large area-of-effect (AOE) Attack, and if the Disaster Girl couldn't dodge and had to block, her death would follow. Then, drawing a card and getting 'Great Despair' would be the outco. Wasting a Seed of Destiny would be a minor issue, but the Disaster ssenger losing face would be a big deal!
With such terrible luck, consistently drawing the one-in-four chance 'Great Despair,' Ren Suo didn't dare let it gamble.
Another point was that, up until now, Ren Suo hadn't heard the Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair ntion any rewards appearing other than the 'Seed of Destiny'...
When Ren Suo used to play, almost every card ca with blessings. But with the clone playing, not a single blessing was received; it was almost the sa as working for nothing.
This clone 'cheat' wasn't just unlucky when drawing cards; it even seed to automatically decrease the reward rate of the ga's internal reward system...
If this continued, even if the clone could clear the ga, the ga character would still be weak.
Why was it like this?
After so simple thinking, Ren Suo could only co to one conclusion: playing with a clone was soulless.
Only by playing himself could he infuse the ga with a soul and obtain normal luck and rewards!
Of course, Ren Suo also considered summoning the clone when he played and switching to it during combat—a sneaky maneuver like that.
But rembering that he seed never to have truly taken advantage of the Mini-World Ga Console, Ren Suo abandoned this tempting idea.
There was no need for such trouble; it wasn't like he couldn't beat the ga himself.
Therefore, Ren Suo planned to upload the argunt and thesis that 'today's stronger Disaster Girl is just a temporary phenonon' to the intranet as soon as he got back, to spread the word.
This way, when Ren Suo took over tomorrow and the Disaster Girl beca a bit weaker, the Mysterious Country officials wouldn't find it strange. They would think, 'It is indeed so,' and Ren Suo could even incidentally scoop up so Research Points.
At this mont, the Disaster Girl in the broadcast seed to have consecutively taken down several Fishn with 'Flash Step,' prompting various exclamations from the audience:
"Worthy of being my Queen! What a beautiful slaughter."
"Is this the true strength of the Fairy Palace? Even a newcor has such combat power!"
"Setting other things aside, today's Disaster ssenger is truly cool—indifferent to life and death, ready to fight if not convinced."
"Her style is hugely different from the past few days."
Ren Suo murmured, "The difference isn't that big, is it..."
Nan Xi and the others turned their heads towards Ren Suo, their expressions quite surprised, as if asking, 'What did you just say?'
Ren Suo blinked and said, "What I an is, the difference is huge. It's like she's a completely different person."
