Chapter 296 The Secondary Scientific Research of the Liver Emperor

Obviously, Zhou Yang was just as confused as the audience in the barrage.

How did they do this?

Although Zhou Yang is the designer of Shadow World, to be fair, he is mainly responsible for the production and modification of basic functions in the game.

For example, the changes to the task system, the design of the group boss, etc.

The fine-tuning of various mechanisms in the game, especially the formulation of numerical values, how these details are finalized, this is a complicated matter.

Some of them are done by Wei Chengjie, some are done by the new numerical designers under his command, and some are even changed by programmers such as Zhao Haiquan and Feng Hui after problems are found in the test.

In this way, the team of Ni Tian Tang Game seems to be a bit of a makeshift team.

After all, strictly speaking, any changes in the game should be decided by the main designer or producer, and the document materials should be formed before they can be modified.

But the situation of Ni Tian Tang Game is indeed special. Although Mr. Gu has the highest prestige and the strongest ability in the company, and will also participate in the writing of game code, he rarely decides on the content of game design.

What about Ms. Li? Although she had to make changes as soon as she said so, she could never take into account all aspects of the game.

Therefore, it was difficult to tell who was responsible for many functions of the game in the end.

Everyone was used to this working mode, so they just made do with it. Anyway, as long as the code could run and the game could be played, there was no need to dig deep.

Take the "Almost CD-free Natural Storm" BD for example. Zhou Yang probably knew that it was more or less related to the company's design, program and testing, but it was hard to say who was responsible for it.

He continued to watch, and sure enough, the liver emperor explained the principle of this BD in detail in the video as usual.

After the BD "Infinite Starlight Milk" was completely scrapped by Shengjing Group under the pretext of fixing bugs, the liver emperor instantly lost interest in the game "Star Spirit World".

In fact, he has been playing for so long, and he thinks that the two BDs in Star Spirit World are the most fun.

Now there is no one-click blood addition, so he can only return to the original state and play whack-a-mole with the other six healers in the group?

This gap is really too big, he can't accept it.

So the liver emperor turned back to "Shadow World" and continued his research.

Although there were players in "Shadow World" who were studying whether they could build a BD similar to "Infinite Starlight Milk", they all failed.

In this game, there are some talents that can reduce the cooldown time of the skill "Natural Storm", but after players tried, they could only reduce it to about four or five minutes at most.

This is obviously not in time, and a boss battle can only be used twice at most.

But the liver emperor stood on the shoulders of these people and continued to study in depth, especially after adding the effect of the T2 suit "Woodland Hurricane", a miracle happened!

The previous players did not have this condition, because most players who like scientific research could not stably open up the team dungeon "Snow Mountain Summit" and stably obtain the T2 suit.

And those healing players who can obtain the T2 suit did not dare to gamble on whether the eight-piece suit is good or not. What if they still cannot achieve infinite natural storm after redemption, then these equipment will be useless? It is a bit irresponsible to the team.

So most of them adopted the 5+3 equipment matching method, or changed to other suits.

Only the Liver Emperor not only has this ability, but also has enough action.

After exchanging the eight-piece set of Woodland Hurricane, he conducted a series of scientific research, and finally achieved the current effect.

First, he selected all the talents that can reduce the cooldown of Natural Storm in the talent list, successfully reducing its cooldown by 35%, and at the same time, reducing the mana consumption by 60%.

After adding the set effect of Woodland Hurricane, the cooldown time was reduced by 65%.

The original 8-minute cooldown time was reduced to about 3 minutes.

But even so, it was not enough. The Liver Emperor conducted a series of scientific research and finally found that there are three specific glyphs in the game that can further shorten the cooldown time!

The so-called glyphs are the glyph effects that can be selected by skills.

Each skill can choose one of the four different glyph effects. These glyphs can enhance the skill damage value, change the skill attributes, or slightly change the skill mechanism.

The three glyphs selected by the Liver Emperor are:

『Lightning Storm-Healing: Your Lightning Storm skill no longer causes damage to the enemy, but instead causes the same healing effect to friendly units. 』

『Healing Rain - Thunderstorm: Your Healing Rain skill attribute will be converted to Lightning attribute. 』

『Lava Quake - Micro Lightning: Your Lava Quake skill will also trigger a small lightning storm, but the effect is only 15% of the original skill. 』

And the reason why these three glyphs can take effect and successfully reduce the cooldown of "Nature Storm" is because of a talent.

『Electric Energy Surge: When any of your lightning-type spells cause healing, you can accumulate lightning energy for you, reducing the cooldown of your Nature Storm by 0.1 seconds. 』

Originally, some players discovered this talent, but the effect after testing was not good.

Because each skill only reduces the CD by 0.1 seconds, which is too little.

The Lightning Department also has healing skills, but not many. There were only two original healing skills, one is "Lightning Shield" and the other is "Lightning Activation". The former is a single-target skill with no cooldown; the latter randomly selects three players with the lowest health and has a cooldown of 12 seconds.

Obviously, it is too much to expect these two skills to refresh the CD of Natural Storm.

Moreover, most of the players who did the experiment at that time did not have the set effect of Woodland Hurricane. Even if they noticed that the healing glyph could turn Lightning Storm into a healing skill, they could not make Natural Storm have no CD, so many players did not explore it further.

But now, the liver emperor has gathered all these key factors!

Lightning Storm is a group range damage skill, and after the healing glyph is applied, it becomes a group range healing skill. As long as there are enough people in the group, the healing number generated will be enough.

Lava Earthquake is a damage skill, but after the micro lightning glyph is applied, it will also induce a small lightning storm. Although the healing effect is only 15%, the number of times the healing is generated is the same.

The same is true for Healing Rain, except that instead of replacing the lightning skill with a healing skill, the healing skill is given the lightning attribute.

Originally, this effect was quite nonsensical, because changing the attribute would not increase its blood addition, but it might cause resistance due to the high lightning resistance of teammates. But now, it is inexplicably coordinated with this BD!

In this way, by stacking these three range skills, the "Electric Energy Surge" effect can be repeatedly triggered when a large number of players gather in the same area.

Each jump can only reduce 0.1 seconds, but what if it jumps very frequently?

Then the remaining 3 minutes CD of this skill can be successfully eliminated.

Of course, eliminating the CD requires a process, and these three healing skills need to be continuously effective, so it takes about 5 to 8 seconds.

But this time is completely acceptable!
