Chapter 41 Skill Synergy, Perfect Team Building
"Who do you think you are, buddy?" Faced with Ma Jie's questioning, Jimmy immediately adopted an air of self-importance: "A year ago, the government held two job training courses to solve the homeless problem. Because of my excellent performance, I was recommended to work as a paramedic at the Los Angeles Police Department. But when I actually started working there, I found out that it wasn't a paramedic job at all, it was just a corpse collector job. I was afraid of developing psychological problems, so I gave up that job."
"But I have to admit, I made quite a lot of money back then."
No one could have imagined that a rookie team consisting of a novice homeless man, a professional scavenger, a down-on-her-luck female fighter, and an unlicensed agent would be formed so haphazardly.
The first show is scheduled for three days later. According to Max's plan, she will give MaJack intensive training in these short 72 hours.
There's not much to say about physical fitness and skills; they can't be improved in a short period of time. They can only be improved through accumulated training.
In terms of diet, only high-quality protein and carbohydrates such as lean meat, eggs, whole grains and fruits are consumed.
As for the rules, those only apply to official competitions.
Although UFC is called Unlimited Mixed Martial Arts, the "unlimited" part only means that it does not restrict the fighting styles of the fighters.
It doesn't matter what country you're from, you can try any style of martial arts, like boxing, wrestling, karate, or jujitsu. It's all about the high degree of freedom.
However, in official matches, basic protective gear is still necessary, such as fingerless gloves, mouthguards, and groin protectors.
In underground combat, none of these things are available; the only thing that can alleviate the damage is the bandage wrapped around the hand.
Even so, certain dangerous actions will still be restricted, such as gouging out eyes, biting, and kicking groin.
After all, audiences pay for tickets to watch the game, not to witness a crime scene. If you make it too gory, it will backfire.
As for other high-risk moves, such as tombstone spikes and stomps and kicks after a player is knocked down, they are not restricted like in the main competition; instead, players are encouraged to do so.
In short, the more exciting the fight, the better, as long as no one gets killed.
Of course, even if someone is actually killed, it's not a big deal. Since they dare to do this, there must be someone backing them up.
"Punch, faster, harder."
"Fast! Fast! Too slow, Jack. Imagine you're standing in an iron cage, and your opponent wants to kill you."
"Great, grab my waist, throw me hard to the ground, and strangle me from behind with your arms."
"Oh yeah, be rougher, baby. Don't treat me like a human being. I like this feeling."
"Fuck! I told you to choke me, not grope my breasts! Where are you touching me?!"
Early in the morning, before the misty fog had dissipated, the family members huddled in their tents were awakened by this commotion.
No, are you playing so wildly so early in the morning?
Several homeless people nearby couldn't stand it any longer and opened their tents to see what was going on.
On a patch of open ground covered with tattered cushions, Max was giving someone a one-on-one lesson.
Her teaching focused on grappling techniques, which is what Ma Jieke lacks most.
Common moves like the rear naked choke, armbar, and guillotine choke, once executed by the opponent, basically mean the end of the match.
From the audience's perspective, the Asian boy is strangled by a violent blonde woman who wraps her legs around his neck and one arm, forming a stable triangular chokehold.
With his carotid artery compressed, Majek was forced to perform a tap-out, a common act of surrender in combat sports.
This scene made Ethan and the others extremely envious. Why wasn't I the one who got the reward?
The exhilarating training session came to an end, and the two lay side by side on the ground, panting heavily.
Max turned his face away and forced himself to imagine, "Jack, I think I've figured it out. You're the kind of player who thrives in competitions. The only way to unleash your potential is through real matches."
"After all, judging from your performance just now, you are not even close to the man with the fierce fighting style in the video."
"Maybe." Ma Jie chose to sarcastically remark, "Of course it wasn't me, that was the boxing champion Tyson, and I was just temporarily borrowing his power."
"So next, I will only teach you some basic rules and competition terminology so that you can understand my and the referee's instructions when you are on stage, and not act like a muggle."
"OK, as you wish, Coach."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In addition to sticking to training, Ma Jieke did not forget to complete his daily tasks.
The situation remains the same as before; the only guaranteed completion is the main storyline, which, as usual, yields three basic skills.
I managed to complete a side quest just before the very last day.
[Side Quest: Try 10 foods you've never eaten before within 24 hours] Reward Value: ★★
Under extremely strict system judgment, Ma Jie ate all the bizarre dishes hidden on the streets of America.
Deep-fried Oreos, coated in batter and deep-fried, then sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Sweet potato puree topped with marshmallows, then baked until caramelized.
Donut burgers, made with donuts instead of bread dough, filled with meat patties and cheese.
One bite of this chocolate, nut, and honey sandwich provides enough calories for a month.
What I'm saying is, is it really impossible to cook without sugar?
Fortunately, I only ate a bite of each thing. If I had eaten them all, even drinking insulin like it was mineral water wouldn't have saved me.
After completing the task, you will be able to choose one of three happiness options.
[Quantum Reading (Passive)]: When reading various types of books, efficiency increases by 50%, but comprehension decreases by 20%.
【Working Body (Passive)】: When stamina drops below 20%, stamina is restored at a rate of 10% per second to full. Cooldown period is 1 day.
【Ghost Blade Unseen (Active)】: Increases movement speed by 25% for 15 seconds after use. Cooldown is 2 hours.
Quantum reading? Learning? What a load of rubbish.
A working god's holy body? That's not bad. If a black guy took it to pick cotton, the farmer would be ecstatic.
Once the Ghost Blade is activated... are you sure this isn't just a joke? But if you use it to practice sprinting, you should be able to get pretty good results.
After a brief analysis, Ma Jieke decided to take down the "Working Saint Body".
The reason is simple: although this skill may not be the best, it is at the level of "real-time combat power" for the upcoming fighting matches.
In other words, as soon as I choose it, it will immediately take effect. Fighting is very physically demanding, and having 80% more stamina than others makes it impossible to find a reason not to choose it.
As for the three one-star basic skills, this construction principle will still be followed.
On the first day of the mission, I acquired the core skill [Mixed Martial Arts Lv1], and focused on maintaining my minimum skill level first.
On the second day of the mission, the big boss arrived and immediately unleashed a special skill called "Ruthless Combo".
【Relentless Strikes (Passive)】: When you attack a single target, each hit increases your attack speed by 2%, stacking up to 25 times.
The attack frequency in unrestricted combat is very high. Once you stack up your attack speed, the visual spectacle is simply unimaginable.
In this way, the combination of [Fake Boxer], [Mixed Martial Arts], and [Relentless Combo] will create synergy between them, which is commonly known as BD (Build) construction, similar to squad synergies in auto chess games.
On the third day, however, my luck ran out, and I only managed to get three life skills.
【Auto Mechanic Lv1】: Permanently improves your repair skills for all types of cars. Multiple upgrades are possible.
[Plumber Lv1]: Permanently improves your plumbing repair skills and your attractiveness to housewives over 30 years old. Can be upgraded multiple times.
[Electric Welder lv1]: Permanently improves your proficiency in using electric welding tools. Can be upgraded by selecting multiple times.
