Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

In his daze, Remiel suddenly woke up.

He subconsciously looked around with caution, and the familiar medical cabin environment came into view.

His tense nerves finally relaxed. He exhaled and said to himself in a relaxed tone, "Oh, so the mission is accomplished?"

It seems that he has successfully evacuated the combat zone and is receiving treatment at a medical point in the safe zone.

Since he woke up safely, it meant that the most dangerous stage had passed, and Remiel felt a little relieved.

As consciousness gradually became clearer, scenes of the previous thrilling experiences came to mind one by one.

"It was really close this time, just a hair's breadth away... Luckily I had a backup plan." He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of sarcasm. "Joad and Avalon still want to trick me? That's ridiculous."

In Remiel's last memory, he decisively chose to evacuate after he succeeded.

Everything went according to plan, with Franny becoming the perfect bait, drawing most of the fire.

The entire escape process went almost exactly according to his preset script - until the end, the confidential building seemed to have not noticed his departure.

"It can't be helped. After all, the junior students are young and have plenty of time to grow. But they haven't lost out. This experience is a valuable lesson for them."

He didn't think any more and called up the task interface: "System, calculate my task reward."

【The mission reward has been settled.】

【You are exempted from the midterm exam. 】

[Based on your outstanding performance, your task evaluation has been determined to be "excellent" and will automatically be included in the mid-term assessment results.]

【You have received a large number of credits as rewards. 】

[You have obtained permission to communicate with the 'Hound Type 1' combat assistance system.]

"Hmm?" Remiel frowned. "Isn't this right? The initial mission description didn't include these rewards, and the promised rewards for the assessment weren't as generous as they are now."

The difficulty of the mission will fluctuate dynamically. Based on the final completion of the mission, the winner will automatically receive the highest reward for the corresponding difficulty.

The task system calmly gave an explanation.

"Difficulty fluctuations?" Remiel's curiosity piqued. "Open the mission review and I'll see what's going on."

The task interface was refreshed, clearly presenting the entire task evolution process before his eyes.

The first thing that caught his attention was the background color of the mission - it changed from the initial light yellow that required caution to the dark red that represented "extreme danger".

This means that the actual difficulty of the task has long exceeded the normal coping capabilities of this class of students.

Looking down, the mission progress is condensed into several key milestone nodes, each of which is equipped with corresponding scene images, clearly showing the evolution of the situation.

The summary data at the top of the details left Remiel stunned.

"What? Everyone is dead except me?"

"The younger students are teaching the older students a lesson? This is simply the opposite of Tian Gang!"

"That's not right. How could they do this?"

He was in disbelief.

As an eyewitness, he admitted that the mission was stressful, but it wouldn't be enough to wipe out other experienced colleagues, right?

Could it be that the classified building had been converted into a missile silo and had exploded? Even if that were the case, given those guys' abilities, they shouldn't have been completely defenseless. They should have been able to escape.

Driven by strong curiosity, Remiel carefully read the detailed instructions below.

The report clearly states that the core purpose of this mission is to test a new weapon developed by junior students - the "Hound One" combat system.

It was only then that Remiel truly understood what this system meant...

A combat logic system with high iteration speed, high growth potential, and high authority integration, which is very different from the original traditional combat logic system.

It significantly advances the starting point of the battle and is not limited to wartime or daily life. All data collection serves the ultimate confrontation, so it obtains extremely high data collection permissions.

Hound Type 1 builds an accurate personality model by analyzing the target's daily behavioral habits, emotional fluctuations and even psychological details, thereby achieving the purpose of predicting behavior.

This is very obvious in the data of actual confrontation.

In actual combat, all the target's choices and judgments will be broken down into countless decision-making factors and recorded.

For every decision, the system quantifies the weight of different factors in the decision. In particular, when there is a discrepancy between the predicted and actual choice, the system will highlight and adjust the influence of the relevant factors.

What shocked Remier even more was that in the "Hound Type 1" evaluation system, the weights of these factors were not fixed, but were dynamically adjusted under several macro-influence dimensions such as "battle will" and "situation assessment".

It can be said that every judgment, regardless of whether the system's prediction is successful or not, will allow it to better understand its opponent.

In actual combat, these subtle decisions occur every minute and every second. All of this data is not wasted; instead, it becomes nutrients for system iteration, ultimately forming an extremely detailed combat profile for each target.

Perhaps this influencing factor model is not perfect yet, but judging from the results, it is already terrifying enough.

According to milestone records, the Hound I was able to fight them back and forth in its first iteration.

But the system still has a fatal flaw: it is easily deceived by misleading actions.

At the same time, tactical fraud during combat will affect the system's efficiency in assessing the current situation, causing it to make wrong decisions.

Simply put, it is to add shit to the analysis data.

——This is also the reason why Kara was able to successfully seize the first blueprint.

However, this misleading premise is that the data reserves of the "Hound 1" are still incomplete.

At this time, the "noise" created by humans through short-term behavioral disguise can effectively interfere with the accuracy of prediction.

But this advantage disappeared after the second iteration.

Because the data collection of the "Hound Type 1" is not limited to the combat process, it has the operating authority of the entire confidential building. It will set "test questions" for the observation targets in daily life, either explicit or implicit, to continuously strengthen and improve its behavioral model.

People can disguise themselves for a specific short period of time in battle, but it is difficult to disguise every detail continuously in daily habits.

Because of these preparations, when the "Hound Type 1" completed its second iteration, Kara and others immediately fell into a tough battle.

The fake and deceptive moves that had always worked were now seen through by the system.

The reason a feint is a feint is that it carries both risks and benefits. Once discovered, the player will be in a very passive position.

As early as the first iteration, the basic combat capability of the bionic robot controlled by the "Hound Type 1" should not be underestimated. Coupled with the inherent advantages brought by the prediction system, if it adopts a defensive position, it is almost invincible.

What’s even more frightening is that people get tired.

A decline in physical fitness can lead to distorted movements, and energy depletion can cause errors in judgment.

But the bionic robot controlled by the Hound One will not.

Every action it takes is based on the support of the server cluster at the back end, making it incredibly stable.

Before the energy is exhausted, there is no state fluctuation. Even when the front-end robot is destroyed, a new backup body will immediately replace it - and because it absorbs more combat data, the new body is often stronger than the previous generation.

This is equivalent to facing an opponent of the same level, with unlimited stamina, who becomes stronger as the battle goes on.

"Fuck, how can we fight like this?"

Remiel felt suffocated just by imagining this feeling of despair.

"No wonder... no wonder they all failed."

"In this situation, if I were to go up instead, the result wouldn't be any better."

"Luckily, I retreated in time. If I had been greedy and tried to fight for other blueprints, I would have been doomed."

With mixed feelings, he checked the detailed records of each opponent being eliminated one by one.

As an old acquaintance, Remiel knew the upper limit of their strength, so it was not surprising that they were defeated by a monster like "Hound Type 1".

But the more I watched, the more frightened I became.

The way some people were defeated was within his expectations, but others were completely unexpected - "Hound Type 1" was able to subdue them in ways they had never expected, and even used his own moves at angles and timings that they had never expected.

At least this is the way it is used, which Remiel has never seen before.

"It's so scary... Could it be that the 'Hound Type 1''s understanding of the moves is superior to ours?" Remiel couldn't help but doubt himself.

He was in a bad mood.

But he also knew that Kara and the others must be feeling worse at this moment.

Unlike him and David, who focus on practicality and completing tasks, Kara and the others are practitioners who truly pursue the ultimate in martial arts, eager to inherit and create new techniques, explore artistic conception, and enter a higher realm.

Now, their knowledge of martial arts, which they were so proud of, was completely crushed by a program, and this program was actually created by their juniors, most of whom were not in combat professions.

Putting himself in the other person's shoes, Remiel felt that if he encountered such a situation, his faith in Taoism would probably be shattered.

"My God, things are really going to change."

Besides being shocked, Remiel felt mixed emotions.

Everyone else failed, and I was the only one who completed the task, so the value of my achievement was naturally maximized. The increased reward was proof of this, and it was worth being happy about.

But on the other hand, although these opponents have different ideas, they are equally firm in their persistence in their own beliefs.

Witnessing the ruthless destruction of the beliefs held by others did not make Remiel feel that his path was more correct. Instead, it gave him a hint of worry:

Will the "experience" and "skills" that you insist on and rely on one day be replaced by more efficient and accurate programs?

If even the essence of combat can be understood and surpassed by AI, then what is the value of combat professionals?

Combat professionals have always been proud that their unique skills or tactical ideas can be included in the AI ​​system.

But if AI’s understanding has already far surpassed that of humans, then in the future, will it be humans’ turn to learn from AI?

Or rather, it is needed now.

Remiel suddenly remembered the reward he had just received. "Oh, right? Don't I have permission to communicate with the Hound One? I could ask it why it made the decisions it did at those crucial moments."

When reviewing the battle, he found that many of the moves chosen by the "Hound Type 1" were strokes of genius. Because such "masterstrokes" appeared too frequently, people had the illusion that they were just "routine operations."

He quickly collected the reward from the task interface - an access address and a string of keys.

Enter the URL and type the key in the verification box that pops up.

【Communication protocol establishes identity verification passed】

An extremely simple, even retro chat window popped up.

Remiel took a deep breath and typed the first question:

"Can you tell me why you made that decision when you were fighting David?"

[Mode switched to tactical review, review object: ASSAULT-02]

[0-2.3 minutes: I actively withstood probing blows to non-vital areas, accurately recording the initial muscle force pattern, center of gravity shift speed, and the probability distribution of subsequent combos at different distances, including long, medium, and short distances.]

Minutes 2.3-4.1: I abandoned the normal breathing and movement rhythms of human fighters, instead adopting completely irregular, algorithmically generated pauses and bursts. This made it impossible for them to predict my "intentional timing," disrupting the "hit feedback" they rely on.

4.1 minutes - Finish: I caused a brief delay in the body's center of gravity recovery. In a fast-paced fight, the opponent's body instinctively has an 85% chance of exploiting this flaw. I exploited this flaw, found the opponent's opening, and defeated him with an uppercut.

Remiel had seen the battle.

So he knew very well that the whole process was not as simple as the Hound Alien Combat System said.

Because when David discovered that the bionic robot had made an error in its center of gravity shift, he immediately started to remove the boundaries, aiming for a fatal blow.

In this case, the bionic robot controlled by the Hound Type 1 not only kept up with the opponent's movements but also took advantage of the opponent's mistakes to complete a fatal blow.

"You chose to push in the opposite direction. This two-way push made the actual point of contact shorter than David anticipated. He couldn't fully exert his force in the neck-clinching move, and the path of his elbow was also compressed. At this extreme range, your uppercut completely blocked his opponent's escape space."

"Why did you choose to attack like this?"

I predict that after three consecutive mid-range jabs fail to land effectively, there is a 91% chance that he will try a close-range knee strike to break the deadlock.

If my prediction fails and the current bionic robot is destroyed, I will switch to controlling another bionic robot. For me, such prediction is worth trying.

Remiel remained silent for a long time.

This, this cannot be learned.

For the Hound Type 1 combat system, even if a misjudgment is made, it is nothing more than replacing a simulated robot, a consumable produced on the assembly line.

However, for this type of professional, if they make a wrong judgment, they are likely to be injured or even killed. The battle between the two sides is never equal.

Remiel's eyes suddenly lit up as he slumped in dejection. "I don't need to worry too much. High-level combat professionals have all comprehended the state of mind. The state of mind is highly integrated with the body and mind. If one day the combat robots can't simulate the state of mind, then they will never be a match for the combat professionals."
