Chapter 24 Author's Notes Review of Chapters -

Chapter 15: Lu Hao's Eighth Winning Streak

As the title says, this chapter is Lu Hao's home court.

This chapter describes Ji Can's abilities in detail. This person will appear in subsequent plots and play a corresponding role before, during, and after the game. The specific details will be written in Chapter 20.

This chapter really advances the plot, and after this chapter, some characters will appear again.

This chapter does not describe the protagonist's image or character in much detail. Generally speaking, there are only two points: one is Mu Zhengguang's attitude towards the rules of the game, and the other is how Xu Ying measures her opponents. She considers whether these people pose a threat to Mu Zhengguang.

------------

Chapter 16: The Shadow of the Old Lover

The first thing is Mu Zhengguang vs. Zhang Chengming. In this part, the setting of the perfect carrier is mentioned. The perfect carrier of the wind element is not a fan. In the following chapters, the asymptotic entity corresponding to the wind force will be discussed.

The second thing is the conversation between the two protagonists. It is in this chapter that the two truly write about their feelings for each other.

The previous descriptions were more about behavior or momentary thoughts, while the feelings described in this chapter are long-standing views and attitudes. The relationship between the two and the way they get along are described in a more specific, detailed and in-depth manner in this chapter.

The third thing is the conversation between Mu Zhengguang and Lu Hao. I will not summarize this part.

The fourth thing is Mu Zhengguang’s interests and hobbies, or what he does in his spare time.

This part is not only used to show the protagonist, it is also used to show the author. It is very simple to find the premiere time of "Zeta Ultraman". Being able to write the accurate time is not a real skill, nor is it necessarily a real interest.

The second to last paragraph is the one that really describes "hobbies and interests". The article does not mention what monster was fought in the fifth episode of Ultraman Orb, nor does it mention what form Ultraman Orb took in that episode, but these can be found by searching online.

This is not the main text, but I can say a few more words. In this episode, Ultraman Orb's Gale Form fights against Super Shidon's Death Scythe. I can also add a side note: this Death Scythe Shidon has been weakened too much.

Given the protagonist's memory, it's unlikely that he could remember what monster he fought in the video he watched four years ago, so I won't write about it. Every attack comes with special effects, which is definitely impressive, because that's what the video title says.

The "Author's Words" not only summarizes the contents of the book, but also extends the contents of the book, and also has a dialogue with the readers. There are many details in this book, but no matter which detail, it is not just for the sake of watering down the word count.

Here is another digression: the semi-finals are almost over, but there is still no real complex, exciting battle. Is it because the author is not good at depicting battle scenes? There is this reason, but it is not the only reason.

There is no need to get excited when the medievals fight the moderns. If this kind of battle lasts for several chapters, it really underestimates the true ability of the protagonist. Unless you encounter extremely special circumstances, it will be a crushing victory.

The text hardly explicitly mentions the first-order regression rates of the protagonist's opponents, because it is meaningless to calculate the domain radius and asymptotic rate for these people.

The number of finalists is 1/16384 of the total number of contestants. Only the ancients, the medievals, and a few outstanding moderns can enter the finals. Those who lose to the protagonist in the semifinals are either the weaker of the moderns, the moderns, or the stronger of the moderns.

Take Lu Hao for example, Lu Hao is a modern person. After the modern people, there is only one type of people, the contemporary people.

The proportion of contemporary people in the population is about 93%. Then, the lower limit of modern people is in the top 7%, which is about the top 1/16. It is very stable to win four consecutive victories in the modeling competition.

How high is the ceiling for modern people? It is not high, but there are few people ahead of them.

My table of settings has the proportion of modern people, but it is not mentioned in the text, so let's use another method. Chapter 6 says that the proportion of modern people is 0.4%, and the proportion of near ancient people is 1.4300, which together is less than 0.5%.

The Medieval and Ancient times can be ignored, so the upper limit for modern ones is 5‰, which is approximately 1/256, or eight consecutive wins, the same number of wins as Lu Hao.

However, there are also factors of luck and chance in major competitions. Taking all factors into consideration, the 4-8 winning streak can be expanded to 2-10 winning streak. The number of wins for most modern players is within this range.

If the winning streak exceeds ten, the default is Modern or stronger than Modern.

It may not be easy to understand with only one set of data, so let's estimate the number of wins of modern players.

The proportion of modern people is 4‰, and those before them are very few, in recent antiquity, 1 in 96674, and in medieval times, in , which are all clearly mentioned proportions. The ancients are not mentioned and are not included for the time being.

The total of the modern and medieval periods is 0.24‰, which is about 1/4096. This is the upper limit of the modern period, consecutive victories. So, what is the lower limit of the modern period? The lower limit of the modern period is almost the same as the upper limit of the modern period, which is also consecutive victories.

Likewise, taking into account factors of luck and chance, the vast majority of modern players have 6 to 14 consecutive wins.

After fourteen consecutive wins, those who advance to the finals are considered to be ancient or stronger than ancient.

Chapter 17: Fighting against abnormal people

To summarize here the uses of existence clearing that have emerged: existence clears the voice, existence clears the scars, existence clears the mind.

These three are more abstract than each other.

Sound can be separated from the human body, but scars cannot be separated from the human body. It is much more difficult to save and clear scars than to save and clear sounds. Reason is an abstract concept, and it is much more difficult to save and clear wisdom than to save and clear scars. But saving and clearing wisdom by 1% is really not worth mentioning, and the cost to the protagonist is minimal.

The article says "Although this big pit may not officially take effect until a hundred things happen", it means that losing 1% of rationality will not seriously affect people's judgment under normal circumstances, but if similar things happen too often, sooner or later one will completely lose control and fall into the pit, unable to climb out again.

Chen Gongyao is the opponent that Mu Zhengguang met in the eleventh round. According to the summary in the previous chapter, this person is assumed to be a modern person. I spent a whole chapter describing this battle, and also took this opportunity to clearly write about Mu Zhengguang's attitude towards the enemy: never let him go, just give him a little punishment.

It is impossible to always meet normal people in a competition. You will definitely meet some abnormal people. For example, Li Guanghui, who was given the opportunity to surrender but did not seize it in Chapter 9. This person is also Mu Zhengguang's enemy.

Li Guanghui was punished no less severely than Chen Gongyao, and his mentality was seriously affected. Because of his deteriorating mentality, his development path was extremely bumpy.

There is a sentence in this chapter, "The power of existence is far superior to all other forms of non-essential forces." This is the narration. The "essential force" mentioned in the narration and the "essential force" mentioned by the characters are just the same in name, but the connotation is not exactly the same.

------------

Chapter 18: The Essence Corresponding to Me

Finally, there is a chapter that fully describes Xu Yingze's abilities, but unfortunately, these descriptions are still side-by-side. In order to facilitate understanding of the difference in abilities between the two protagonists, the corresponding values ​​of the two sets of special moves are listed here.

Existence power: countdown 60 minutes, upper limit 50%, accelerated timer 10%, domain blessing 150%.

Running capacity: countdown 48 minutes, upper limit 100%, acceleration timer 15%, domain blessing not written.

Since the force of existence acts on everything, you can win as long as you take away 50% of the attributes.

In theory, operating force acts on everything. Although you can completely crush the opponent in terms of attributes by extracting 50% of the operating force, there is a possibility of failure. Only by extracting 100% of the operating force and terminating all activities of the opponent can you win for sure.

This chapter introduces a new topic, "How strong is the opponent?" The basis for the two protagonists to set their goals is related to this topic. Xu Yingze's goal is no longer 2 consecutive wins, but 17 consecutive wins. 131072 to the 131072th power is 96674. In terms of asymptotic rate alone, this goal is still within the strength of the two. Although is larger than , the two are not low-end middle-class players. Their asymptotic rates are in the middle among middle-class players.

In other words, the proportion of middle-aged people in the population is 1/96674, but the proportion of middle-aged people with an asymptotic rate of less than or equal to 7 months in the population is less than 1/131072.

In terms of asymptotes, this goal is not beyond the capabilities of the two. The narration in Chapter 17 says that "existence is far superior to other forms of non-essential forces", and the narration is credible.

In terms of domain radius, this goal is beyond their capabilities, but domain blessing, countdown, and acceleration timing can make up for the shortcomings of the domain radius to a certain extent, and the protagonist also has existence clearance and operation clearance, and the power is unlimited.

This chapter describes Mu Zhengguang's twelfth round of competition. This game is relatively long. Xie Dongxin's ability is relatively complex, so it is not easy to defeat him. The protagonist is not good at long-range attack or close combat. He has not received any combat training. Of course, this book does not advocate combat training.

This has gone a bit off topic, so let's get back to the point. Without using existence clearing, the protagonist's abilities are almost "fixed", and it is normal to be at a disadvantage when fighting against professionals.

At present, there is no specific description of Xu Yingze's combat situation. On the one hand, the operational force is more abstract than the existence force, and it is more difficult to write. On the other hand, the two protagonists are divided into primary and secondary in the first volume. In this volume, Mu Zhengguang occupies a major position, and there will definitely be volumes in the future where Xu Yingze plays a dominant role.

These two people are equally talented and have equal status. Their relationship is by no means one party is dependent on the other. They each have their own home field, but the home fields have a priority. First and last do not mean important or unimportant. This order is determined by the stage of the story development, whether the timing is right, and whether the environment and background are suitable for them to play.

------------

Chapter 19: The Feat of Existential Absorption

In the later stage of the game, Mu Zhengguang made a misjudgment. The description in the article was that he "mistakenly thought that the hourglass could hurt his opponent, so he didn't take much precautions." This small mistake is normal.

This chapter describes the fourth use of existence-clearing: existence-clearing gaze. The description of existence-clearing gaze in the text is: all the light received by the human eye is cleared by it.

Note that what is cleared here is the "gaze", not the vision. If the vision is cleared, then one will be blind forever. "Existence clears the gaze" does not affect the function of the eyes.

Just as I wrote before, there is the existence of clearing sound. Although the sound is gone, there is no problem with the person's throat or vocal cords.

These two uses of existence clearing affect the light entering the human eye and the sound transmitted, rather than fundamentally preventing people from seeing or speaking.

Mu Zhengguang's fifth trick is existence absorption. It absorbs the power of existence and transforms it into the power of healing and recovery.

Operational absorption is described at the end of the chapter. In general, both operational absorption and existential absorption do not depend on asymptotic entities.

From this chapter, we can see that existence clearing is extremely powerful and can easily rewrite the situation of a battle, but Mu Zhengguang generally does not directly use existence clearing to decide the outcome.

At the end of this chapter, it is written that Xu Yingze holds Mu Zhengguang's wrist. It is not difficult to see that she is indeed very considerate. Moreover, from this conversation, Xu Yingze is no more modest than Mu Zhengguang. The two have very similar personalities and views in some aspects.

------------

Chapter 20: "An Opponent I've Already Met"

Ji Can is written about in Chapter 15. In this chapter, Ji Can becomes Mu Zhengguang's opponent in the seventh round of the semi-finals.

Ji Can played a corresponding role before, during and after the game.

Mu Zhengguang did not reject the information provided by Lu Hao, which shows Mu Zhengguang's attitude towards the rules and fairness of the game. Although this does not violate the rules of the game, it is definitely unfair. This is the role that Ji Can played "before the game".

The role he played during the game mainly had two aspects: one was contributing to the protagonist's victory, and the other was Mu Zhengguang's attitude towards him.

When both sides suffered almost the same number of injuries (Mu Zhengguang was slapped once, hit by a strong electric current, and hit by a small electric current, and Ji Can was stabbed once and hit once), Mu Zhengguang had no intention of pursuing.

However, Ji Can used a long-range electric shock at the last moment (almost hit), so he was attacked by Mu Zhengguang. If it was not almost hit, but far away, like Xie Dongxin's last shot, Mu Zhengguang would not chase.

From this we can see that Mu Zhengguang's revenge mentality is neither strong nor weak, and is within the normal range.

In addition, when fighting against Li Guanghui, Chen Gongyao, and Xie Dongxin, the personal pronouns "enemy" and "hostile" appeared in the text. The change in personal pronouns expressed Mu Zhengguang's views on these people.

Mu Zhengguang did not regard Ji Can as an enemy, and his additional attack was just "thrown out casually", which was much better treatment than Xie Dongxin (Xie Dongxin was not chased after throwing the solid ice ball, but he was hit twice by the protagonist before throwing the ball).

Ji Can plays a particularly special role after the game, and the division between strong and weak forces is formally mentioned in this chapter.

Strong force and weak force are for the protagonist, and this classification may not apply to other people. Pure energy belongs to weak force, which means that adding mass is considered strong force, but this does not mean that having mass is more advanced or more efficient than having no mass.

Just taking Ji Can as an example, his pure energy attack is a long-range attack, although it is considered a weak force by Mu Zhengguang, but his strong attack is a close-range attack, which should be easier for others to dodge.

At the end of the chapter it is mentioned that Xu Yingze was injured, this matter will be described in detail in the next chapter.

------------

Chapter 21: The Supreme Personality in the Dream

Xu Ying had a dream like this. This dream seemed very accidental, but it was also inevitable. It was obviously a foreshadowing.

There is a fifth use of existence removal, existence removal of external forces.

The sixth use of existence clearing is existence clearing victory.

Among the six usages that have appeared, "Cun Qing victory" is the most abstract, and even the most subjective. This usage is very idealistic and difficult to understand, and the description of it in the article is relatively long.

One thing to note here is that even if Mu Zhengguang did not use existence-clearing victory, Zhou Haitao would not be able to win.

I think the usage of existence clearance summarized in the "Author's Words" is not very intuitive, so there is a sentence like this in this chapter: What he wants to clear this time is not the sound, not the scar, not the reason, not the gaze, nor the external force, but the other party's "victory".

At the end of this chapter, the semi-finals ended. An excellent Near Ancient like Zhou Haitao could threaten Mu Zhengguang who did not use his full strength at the current stage, but he was still vulnerable to the Extinction Removal.

The focus of this chapter is on the first part, which is the description of the two protagonists getting along with each other. There are many details, so I will not summarize them here.

As a side note, the details have little impact on the main storyline, but when the plot advances to a certain stage, the character of the protagonist shown in previous details will be more accurately reflected.

　The two chapters updated today add up to about 8000 words, which is a bit long. The semi-finals are over. From now on, the protagonist no longer has to participate in the preliminary and semi-finals of the modeling competition.

　　This book will have a round of recommendations tomorrow. Although there are not many readers, let's all do our best.

(End of this chapter)
