Chapter 365: This Is Our Hot-Blooded Strike!
Gemini Fierce Tiger Contract (Normal): Blue/Excellent/Lv-, Team Contract, Two-Person Contract. Usage Requirement: Players of the same rank.
This official contract was provided by the organizer of the Hot-Blooded Fighting Tournament. Because the reigning champion duo at the time were the Twin All-Round Fighters "Yin Yi (Tiger One)" and "Yin Er (Tiger Two)," the team contract was named after the Gemini champions.
Contract Teaming Related—
Both parties to the contract will be able to enter the same dungeon simultaneously while maintaining a "team" status, including the main dungeons of the monthly trial; the main and side quests of both parties can be completed collaboratively; when settling the main quests of the monthly trial, the overall superior party will, to a certain extent, raise the final rating of the other party; the basic linear distance for mutual perception between both parties is 100 meters, and this distance will extend by a corresponding number of meters based on the player's own spirit attribute.
Both parties to the contract will gain the team skill "Hot-Blooded Strike."
Hot-Blooded Strike—When both parties maintain an "embrace" or "one party lifting the other" posture, the prerequisite for activating Hot-Blooded Strike will be triggered. At that time, a mental link process will appear between both parties. When the mental links of both parties precisely connect, 50 MP will be consumed simultaneously and the skill will be activated, with a cooldown of 60 seconds; depending on the initiator, Hot-Blooded Strike will also exhibit different elemental attributes; during the release of Hot-Blooded Strike, a "semi-invincible" state will be presented.
If the mental link fails to connect, one party will inflict a throw attack on the other, but a failed activation will not put Hot-Blooded Strike on cooldown.
The natural birth dates of both parties to the contract will determine the mental link speed between them. The speed color representation from low to high is "yellow, green, white, blue, red." The link speed will affect the casting speed of Hot-Blooded Strike.
The natural blood types of both parties to the contract will determine their initial compatibility, with a minimum of Level 1 and a maximum of Level 9. Compatibility will affect the attack form and final damage of Hot-Blooded Strike, and compatibility will fluctuate in real-time based on the behavior of both parties within the dungeon.
Contract Termination Related—
Return to Heaven's Chosen Space, apply to the Space, requiring the consumption of a team contract item of the same specification and the payment of a certain fee to terminate; if one party to the contract dies, the contract will automatically terminate; it can be overwritten by a higher-level contract.
Additional Evaluation: May 5th and November 27th paired with A + O or B + AB, those who know, know.
Unlike the "Dead or Alive Duo" contract signed by Luo Meiling and Eva, the "Gemini Fierce Tiger Contract" that Cheng Tian and his partner were about to sign did not provide additional attribute bonuses. Instead, it emphasized cooperative combat attributes and highly restored the original settings of "Hot-Blooded Fighting."
Moreover, it had a "Normal" suffix, clearly indicating that there was a higher-level contract above it.
Cheng Tian estimated that it should be the champion contract of Yin Yi and Yin Er themselves.
Compared to the Dead or Alive Duo contract, the rules and conditions of the Gemini Fierce Tiger Contract were obviously more complex. As a Game Expert, Cheng had clearly studied it long ago, while Comrade Irene had completely given up thinking when she first saw the item's attributes.
Completely unable to understand the conditions related to Hot-Blooded Strike, she obviously only regarded it as an item that allowed her to team up with Cheng Tian.
"Birthday, blood type."
"January 1st... and I should be O blood type, right?"
Hearing Cheng Tian's question, Irene, who was very clear about her birthday, was quite uncertain about her blood type.
And more importantly, after undergoing bloodline purification and becoming a half-elf, could she still use her human blood type for determination?
"Oh? Not bad, I'm September 9th and A blood type."
Cheng Tian didn't elaborate too much on the various complex settings involved. Anyway, both their blood types and birthdays were fixed and couldn't be changed. Could they possibly switch partners because their birthdays or blood types weren't compatible?
In short, when Cheng Tian and Irene simultaneously pressed their thumbs on the contract, a faint tiger roar sounded in their ears, and then the contract disappeared. At the same time, a strange fluctuation covered them both and linked them together.
Detected that player "Aoko"'s natural birthday and blood type are—September 9th + A blood type.
Detected that player "Irene"'s natural birthday and blood type are—January 1st + O blood type.
Your mental link speed is—Blue (1 second).
Your initial compatibility is—Level 8, attack mode is "Flying Pursuit," attack damage is the sum of both parties' full attributes * 80%.
When player "Aoko" is the main initiator of the combined attack, the elemental attribute of Hot-Blooded Strike is "Holy Radiance" or "Demonic Nightmare."
When player "Irene" is the main initiator of the combined attack, the elemental attribute of Hot-Blooded Strike is "Storm."
You have completed the team contract.
Irene slumped against Cheng Tian, letting out a long sigh of relief, as a huge weight in her heart was finally lifted.
Cheng Tian's growth speed was too fast. In such a short time, he had gone from a state of looking down to one where she almost had to look up. This sense of disparity was actually very strong, and not many people could accept it as quickly as Irene... Of course, it might also be because they were of opposite genders and their tactical positions didn't overlap.
However, after the contract was signed, Irene finally escaped the fate of being left behind by Cheng Tian to an uncatchable distance on some possibly not-too-distant future day.
Cheng Tian, on the other hand, was very interested in the contract's attributes themselves, and had even started urging Irene to go to the wooden dummy training ground with him to test the skills.
Games are games, and player skills are player skills. How much they are restored, and what effects and impacts they will have in actual application, all need to be tested in advance.
But just then, a new prompt popped up directly.
When you, as a team, win an international fighting tournament championship in a "Fighting Term" dungeon of C-grade difficulty or higher, the "Gemini Fierce Tiger Contract (Normal)" will directly upgrade to "Gemini Fierce Tiger Contract (Champion)."
Oh, wow?
Both Cheng Tian and Irene's eyes lit up.
It seems that finding a fighting-type dungeon to fight in will also become part of their future plans.
Whether they could win the championship was another matter, but it was definitely worth a try.
But before that, test the skills first, then enter the dungeon.
Things had to be done one by one. Cheng Tian had already made a series of plans during the waiting period.
In fact, if he hadn't been waiting for Irene's move, he might have already used the Red Wyvern Elder's flight ticket to rush into the Dino Crisis dungeon.
And the extra dungeon, which could originally only be entered by Cheng Tian alone, could now be entered by both of them under the influence of the team contract.
Since Cheng Tian had saved his "Dinosaur New Century of Adventurers" save file, his loading template when entering the dungeon would also remain on the previous Azure Star Greatsword user.
But just as they were both hanging from the two feet of the Red Wyvern Elder that appeared out of thin air, Cheng Tian, however, decisively and directly used the Water of Styx!
