There's a psychological phenomenon called the "suspension bridge effect."
In this phenomenon, men and women are highly likely to develop an unusual fondness for the opposite sex when they are in a situation that is extremely critical or evokes a great sense of danger.
Before the apocalypse, young men often used this excuse to take their female friends to places like haunted houses with ulterior motives.
However, the outcome, well, psychological effects are just theories. In practice, it all comes down to the man's looks.
Ultimately, it's like in those historical dramas: if you're saved by a handsome hero, you'll be his devoted servant forever.
But if you're saved by a plain-looking hero, you can only hope to repay him in your next life by being a cow or a horse.
So, what kind of "suspension bridge" in the world could compare to the apocalypse itself?
Just a month ago, the entire world plunged into complete societal collapse due to the arrival of the doomsday game.
Everywhere people looked, everything was destroyed by monsters that descended from another realm.
And at this time, there was an incredibly handsome and powerful youth who protected you all the way. That sense of security was enough to skyrocket the "suspension bridge effect."
That's why, ever since Chen Luo saved them in Donghai City, nine out of ten young ladies from the clergy were smitten with Chen Luo.
However, while Chen Luo might be a bit lecherous, he's not one to mess around carelessly. His fan-chasing fantasies were merely spoken words.
Otherwise, in Donghai City, Chen Luo could have transformed into a plug, trying out various socket models every day.
Ahem, back to the main topic.
At this moment, in Starfire Plaza, these "sockets," or rather, his harem, who had long been craving Chen Luo, finally got their wish in a sense.
The immense healing energy brought by the SS-class healing spell, mixed with the residual power of Chen Luo's communication with the source of light, brought irresistible joy to the uninjured young ladies.
Not a single young lady from the clergy could remain standing after being bathed in Chen Luo's SS-class healing spell.
One by one, clad in white, they collapsed onto the ground without any semblance of composure.
However, because Chen Luo's avatar had used "Silence" and "Illusion," no one else had discovered any abnormalities for the time being.
Looking at the young ladies who could only babble incovertibly, Chen Luo's avatar chuckled wickedly.
He cast the SS-class "Dispelling" spell again.
The young ladies, who had already reached their peak, were instantly pulled back to reality.
But they maintained a particularly ethereal state of mind regarding the abnormality of their bodies.
[You have been affected by player Chen Luo's SS-class "Dispelling" spell. You have entered the "Sage Mode" state.]
The young ladies' originally moist eyes suddenly filled with the brilliance of wisdom.
Even the skill proficiency increase on their status panels had risen.
Furthermore, under such an ethereal state of mind, they seemed to have returned to the moment of the universe's origin, contemplating the origin of species and the meaning of life.
Well, friends who have also experienced Sage Mode should be able to understand their state to some extent.
But unfortunately,
The skill improvement doesn't end with just one instance.
These two SS-class skills had, at most, only increased the proficiency of the young ladies' healing and dispelling spells.
The real training had only just begun.
The truth, concealed by "Silence" and "Illusion," remained unknown to anyone.
But on the second day after Chen Luo's return, from morning till dusk,
The flying warriors never landed.
After enduring Chen Luo's brutal training, although their aptitude was far inferior to Su Xiao's, most of them had their skills raised to at least C-class.
As the simulated sun of the outer barrier set in the west according to the time,
The thousands of avatars, who had been fighting for a day, finally ceased their attacks.
*Thump... thump...*
Tens of thousands of figures clad in crimson armor fell like dumplings, powerless, onto Starfire Plaza.
Everyone was sprawled on the ground, lacking even the strength to move a finger.
To achieve the best training effect, Chen Luo had not used "Legion Descent." Everyone present was in their true form, and they had not been granted any legion skill buffs.
Therefore, after a day of aerial training, they were truly exhausted.
Zhang Qing, one of the legion members, was just an office worker programmer before the apocalypse.
Although his half-month's worth of coding was gone after the apocalypse, at least his hair had returned after leveling up.
This was perhaps one of the few things that could make him a little happy amidst the doomsday.
But at this moment, feeling his body as if it had lost all sensation, Zhang Qing felt that it would have been easier to fight skeletons on the battlefield for days and nights, just like before!
The boss is too terrifying. Every attack precisely squeezed out every ounce of our stamina.
For every attack from the boss, we had to muster twelve thousand percent of our mental focus to respond.
If we failed to defend, we would still be sent flying, and the point of impact would hurt immensely.
