Chapter 138 Analysis

Facing Fang Senyan's inquiry, Crowbar snorted:

"So what? I'm telling you, the boss's rank has been promoted to Metal Mentor! The terror of his power is beyond your wildest imagination!"

When he said the words "Metal Mentor," Crowbar's eyes flashed with intense fear.

Fang Senyan noticed this, but completely ignored his words and said calmly:

"The thing that can attract the attention of your two major organizations is mostly a treasure that is famous throughout the entire Harry Potter world. At this time, our timeline is still a few days before Harry Potter's enrollment. So, the treasure most likely to have a huge loophole and be stolen... is the Philosopher's Stone placed in the goblin bank, Gringotts!"

"Gringotts' defenses are not as tight as the legends say. Voldemort's men are working hard to erode the defenses. In the movie's plot, Dumbledore also noticed this, so he sent Hagrid to retrieve the legendary Philosopher's Stone that could grant immortality back to Hogwarts when school started - incidentally using the excuse of picking up little Harry Potter. Sure enough, not long after, news of a theft came from Gringotts."

"If used properly, contractors who know this process are entirely likely to seize this loophole, use the defensive gaps eroded by Voldemort's men, and take this thing away before Hagrid arrives!"

Crowbar's face became extremely cold:

"So what?"

Fang Senyan simply ignored his argument and said indifferently:

"When a person has a goal like the Philosopher's Stone, which can be called the ultimate treasure, of course, they will focus all their cards and all their power on this goal and go all out! Before that, no loss is allowed! Especially the mechanisms in Gringotts, it can be said with certainty that they require living people to explore and break through! If... I mean if, that Metal Mentor is not a fool, then why would he let you risk certain death or even total annihilation to challenge the mountain troll? Don't tell me that this Metal Mentor, who has reached this position, even has flaws in the most basic intelligence work!"

Speaking of this, Fang Senyan smiled meaningfully:

"So he must have some way to let you easily clean up this mountain troll and smoothly increase Hagrid's favorability, thereby staying in this world... But this method is something you are unwilling to use! Because this method may harm your interests."

Crowbar's face changed suddenly. Fang Senyan continued:

"Although the drop from a low-level legendary creature is at most of black key to silver key quality, far inferior to the Philosopher's Stone, a treasure coveted even by Harry Potter's ultimate Boss Voldemort! However, no matter how good something is, if you can't put it in your own pocket, it's not worth a fart. It seems you've considered it very clearly. Even if the Metal Mentor gets the Philosopher's Stone and gains great benefits, it won't do you any good. But killing the mountain troll is something that is carried out under your sole control. If you operate it well and leave no survivors, then of course all the benefits will belong to you. So... you betrayed him."

Crowbar fell silent at this time and said coldly:

"Well said, continue. I want to see what you know."

Fang Senyan shrugged and said:

"Since you're willing to listen, I don't mind saying more. My last world was the Pirates of the Caribbean world. In that world, I discovered one thing, that is, if you use a power that you can't control to join the battle, then even if you win in the end, the quality of the spoils will be greatly reduced - this should be the root cause of why you are unwilling to use the power that the Metal Mentor gave you. Because once you use this power that you can't control, then the quality of the items dropped by the mountain troll will be greatly damaged, but the lives of the contractors entering this world will be saved this time, and the interests of the Metal Mentor will also be protected."

"I can even further infer that the power the Metal Mentor gave you cannot be explosive. No matter what, the mountain troll has at least 6000 health points. That kind of spell scroll that can severely damage the mountain troll in one go must have at least 2000 attack power to ensure that your team can pass without damage. But! Perhaps there are such terrifyingly powerful scrolls in the Nightmare Space, but it will definitely not be something we can obtain now. Otherwise, it would form a kill situation for all contractors, and even at least 30% of the plot characters!"

"So, what the Metal Mentor gave you is likely some kind of summoning scroll. A scroll that summons a powerful plot character or creature. Your group can cooperate with it to easily kill the mountain troll, but even if you use this scroll to deal with the Metal Mentor, he can calmly face it because he knows the weaknesses of this summon in advance. And I have always noticed: in the battle just now, although you were repeatedly in danger, you almost never used your personal abilities... It seems to be to save your mental strength exceptionally, and you value it quite a bit. So does this mean that in order to control the creature you are summoning, you have to continuously consume mental strength?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you may even have a light blue key prepared on your body at this time, of course, as well as a carefully prepared speech. When facing the Metal Mentor, you can find some excuses, such as the fact that Das and I are actually Banks gang undercover agents, and at a critical moment, we suddenly cooperated with the seriously injured mountain troll to attack, resulting in heavy casualties and only you surviving. The mountain troll also only dropped this light blue key because it was attacked and 'polluted' by the summon... You are sorry to the Party, sorry to the country, sorry to the people, and so on. What can the Metal Mentor do to you? It's nothing more than demotion, but your gains are ten times greater than this!"

Speaking of this, Fang Senyan had already begun to breathe deeply. His eyes were like a sea of fire swept by a strong wind! And the muscles on his body began to tighten and bulge, giving off a feeling of steel casting while standing in place. He laughed loudly at Crowbar, revealing his snow-white teeth, but with an indescribable hint of cruelty.

"Come on! Crowbar, release your last trump card, see what your Metal Mentor gave you. If you can pass this level, I die! If you can't pass this level, you perish!"

Crowbar's face was livid, and he didn't say much. He took out a small cross from his arms. There seemed to be a layer of transparent crystal on the surface of the cross, with flowing water light. In the cross, clusters of black smoke kept churning, hitting the surface of the transparent crystal and bouncing back. Sometimes the black smoke would form a human face, ferociously making silent howls.

Fang Senyan looked at this scene, put on a solemn expression, but breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. He had already judged that the creature Crowbar was about to summon was not the kind he feared most, so he was naturally relieved. Facing the enemy, Fang Senyan certainly would not reveal all of his analysis and judgment. In fact, Fang Senyan was not a gambler. He had carefully analyzed the situation before standing up to face Crowbar, confirming that his chances of winning were at least over 70% before showing himself - despite the lack of a large amount of detailed information, if it could be basically determined that Crowbar's trump card was a summon, then its type could also be roughly analyzed.

The Metal Mentor's goal was to reduce the number of casualties on his side, or not to have any casualties at all. And all the people on his side were melee combat types, facing a monster like the mountain troll with high health and high strength. Then, under normal circumstances, the requirements for the summon were three points:

First, it had to be able to attract the mountain troll's attention, so that the members of the Freemasons could avoid suffering the mountain troll's attack damage.

Second, the attack had to be high enough to inflict heavy damage on the mountain troll within a certain period of time.

Third, it had to have the ability to save the situation, and be able to make timely repairs in case of any accident.

A creature that could possess these three conditions, the mountain troll happened to be on the list. The first thing Fang Senyan thought of was that Crowbar might summon a mountain troll! This was also the type he was most unwilling to encounter, slow attack speed, super strong single attack power, and even more terrifying was that the mountain troll also had crushing damage, weakening the limit of the effect of his talent ability, Resilience!

Once this most unwanted situation occurred, Fang Senyan would of course turn around and run away immediately. He had already inquired about the Nightmare Mark: all creatures summoned by contractors would also suffer from the effect of "mutual attacks by contractors will weaken by 40%", and he would not be affected by this effect when attacking the summon-type creatures of contractors.

If Crowbar really summoned a mountain troll, then Fang Senyan would first run to the sides of Geli and Das, using them as food to attract the mountain troll, in order to buy himself time to escape. As long as he could hold on until he was near the bush with strong anesthetic properties, then he should be able to survive.

In addition to this, the summon creatures that met these three conditions also included high-agility dodge melee types. They were fast, attacked fast, and had high dodge. In this way, the attack damage would be much stronger. Invisibly, the battle time was shortened and the risk was avoided...

Speaking of which, there were only a few that met the conditions in the Nightmare World. And this type of creature was not a big threat to Fang Senyan, because high attack frequency meant that the single attack power would not be too strong, and it would also be weakened by the contractor's 40% rule... And Fang Senyan's talent ability, Resilience, could naturally maximize efficiency. (If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
