Chapter 54 (1/2)

Fatty’s answer made everyone feel very gloomy. This was not an answer at all!

“What Crayon Knife meant is that this is not something ordinary people can do. Isn’t that right?” Fated Sky answered. “At least I can’t do that!”

After he said that, Fated Sky tried to roll on the ground…

“Pfft!” Fatty, who was sitting in front of the controller, suddenly burst into laughter. Fated Sky’s rolling posture was the same as the rolling movement of Stephen Chow in Forbidden City Cop. He fell to the ground, lowered his head, and made a lot of effort to sway countless times before finally rolling. In the end, he was still inclined 45 degrees to the left…

Apart from Fatty, Luo Moling and the rest also burst out laughing. Given Fated Sky’s posture, it was a waste that he was not acting in a comedy…

After laughing, everyone started secretly comparing themselves. They believed that if they were to roll, they probably wouldn’t be any better than Fated Sky… or Fatty.

If a person who often rolled, such as a gymnast, rolled like that, they might do it instantly. They might roll perfectly with a certain artistic sense. However, if someone who had never rolled before were to do this, that was a different situation. Not only did this involve balance, but it also involved proficiency and skill.

If the game was played by a true gymnast, the sense of balance brought about by their long-term rolling practice would also be read by the electroencephalogram access device. He could accomplish such a rolling action in the game, but would a gymnast even play the game? Perhaps. However, such a situation was definitely rare.

Naturally, Fated Sky wasn’t a gymnast so it was understandable that he would make such a blunder while performing that action.

This was why Luo Moling and the rest couldn’t figure it out. How come Fatty’s body shape didn’t look like a gymnast’s?

This was indeed the biggest difference between electroencephalogram access devices and holographic operation devices.

Just like in a fighting game, if someone were to use the keyboard or gamepad joystick, they could control their character as much as they liked. However, if one was allowed to be a character in the game, could one do it? Could one use one’s own actions to make the same splendid moves as the character?

The answer was definitely not, as the actions of the characters in the game had all been set long ago. The player who controlled them only needed to use the controller and click the action button that had been set up for the character to perform the corresponding actions. Because these actions had been set up, they were all standardized and did not require players to do it in person.

The holographic operation device used by Fatty was based on this principle. The actions of the characters were all standardized actions that had been set up long ago. He only needed to press the corresponding key for his character to perform the corresponding action. Such an action was not comparable to Fated Sky’s tumbling movement…

The electroencephalogram access device allowed players to experience the battle in person and play the game with the most realistic visual experience, which could not be done by the holographic device. On the other hand, certain controls of the holographic device could not be used by the electroencephalogram access device, including these actions.

Of course, this was not to say that being able to perform such actions equaled being invincible. The scope of application was also limited. The choice was left up to the players…

However, it was clear that Crayon Knife and the rest probably did not realize this or that the access equipment Fatty used was different from theirs. Hence, they had this doubt. The reason they were asking this was nothing more than a feeling that the avoiding technique Fatty used was very smart. Thus, they wanted to learn it.

Fatty knew that unless they changed their game access device, they couldn’t learn such an operation technique. Even if they changed their access device, they probably still wouldn’t be able to execute such an action in an emergency.

This was mainly related to hand speed and experience. Using the previous roll as an example, Fatty had to press the jump key and the rolling key as fast as possible before swiping at the keyboard sensor to set the rolling direction. Moreover, he had to maintain a balance of somatosensory induction. If he hadn’t practiced this for a long time, it would have been hard to perform such synchronized actions in an instant.

Fatty had practiced this for many years and had developed the fastest conditioned reflex ability that allowed him to understand what kind of operation to use under different circumstances. Nevertheless, he still remembered his clumsiness when he had first used the holographic operation device. At the time, his character had been often killed due to his operational mistakes.

Therefore, Fatty decided to tell them the truth. “Actually, I can tell you guys. However, even if I tell you, you won’t be able to learn in a short time. In that case, it would be better to maintain your current state.”

“Why do you say that?” Luo Moling asked in confusion.

“That’s very simple!” Fatty answered. “It’s because I use a holographic operation device to access the game. You have already gotten used to the real perspective, so even if you guys replaced your access devices like me, you wouldn’t achieve such proficiency in a short time.”

“What?” Everyone was suddenly shocked. “You’re using a holographic device?”

“Yes!” Fatty answered with a smile. “There’s nothing wrong with that!”

At that moment, everyone looked at Fatty with an even more complicated expression. It was not that they had never heard of the holographic device. On the contrary, they knew about the holographic device and they had chosen to access the game through an electroencephalogram.

This was not only due to the true combat experience of the electroencephalogram access device. It was because they felt that the more than 170 keys of the virtual keyboard of the holographic access device were too complicated! Almost every key had its own function, so ordinary people simply couldn’t play with such a keyboard…
