Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 610 The Silver Glider

[[Game Master] is activated——]

[You have successfully loaded the enhanced protagonist template "Silver Glider/Norlin Red" from the NES game "Silver Glider".]

[Silver Glider: An enhanced protagonist template, based on the Galactus minion "Silver Glider" from the NES game "Silver Glider," also known as "Silver Glider" or "Silver Shadow." In the original game, Silver Glider was taken in as a minion by Galactus and modified, granting him cosmic-level power... However, in the NES version, Silver Glider was merely a flimsy, low-quality shooting game protagonist, with the only redeeming quality being the game's background music.]

When you select to load the "Silver Glider" template—

You will simultaneously receive the template weapon "Silver Surfboard".

This character template will not need to be uninstalled.

[Additional Commentary: In the FC version of "Silver Glider," the Silver Glider only had negative skills. After template enhancement, the negative skills disappeared, but no new positive skills were added. In a sense, the Silver Glider is someone who would die without his skateboard.]

Cheng Tian, ​​with his feet firmly planted on the silver surfboard, was already floating steadily.

When Cheng Tian was first randomly assigned this template by his talents, he was astonished. Before entering the dungeon, he had indeed made a series of guesses about the new template.

Considering that the last time I loaded the vehicle was the Master Tank Rebanner, and combined with the special scenario battle I will face in this scene, it is more likely that a template that continues to shine in terms of vehicles will be available, such as the Armored Core or the Gradius.

If we return to the core of Metal Slug's action shooting game roots, then templates for mastering certain gun shooting skills would also have a good chance, such as the classic Contra or Gun Heroes, which would be acceptable.

But Cheng Tian never expected that he would randomly generate such a Silver Glider template that was once fiercely criticized by the critic JAMS!
As described in the loading template, aside from the amazing background music, this game, as a side-scrolling and vertical scrolling shooter, has almost nothing to offer.

Moreover, unlike the invincible Silver Slider in the original setting, the Silver Slider in the game only has weaknesses.

The shooting feel is terrible, and the shooting judgment is a mess.

While your own bullets are negated by enemy bullets, your rate of fire is far slower than that of random grunts you encounter on the road. If you're playing on the original FC, an old machine with no burst fire button on the controller, this game will definitely make your hands cramp up, and you might not even be able to beat the grunts in a direct fire battle.

Moreover, the main body has absolutely no health points. Whether it's the environment or the mobs, if you get grazed or touched, you'll instantly drop your skateboard and die.

In fact, this kind of forced one-life setting is common in games. Contra, Salamander, Green Beret, and Jackal Army, which are commonly known as the "old four strong" games in China, all have the protagonist's one-life setting.

However, SilverAsh deserves to be criticized because, while it has one life, it also incorporates a lot of the dregs from other games. The extremely poor gameplay experience only further highlights the excellence of the game's background music.

I wonder if this is where the trend of creating hit songs from terrible games started.

It's clear from Cheng Tian's improved template that SilverSkate's original design was too overpowered, while the game's built-in design was too weak. Ultimately, the improved template ended up being nothing more than a skateboard...

In some ways, it does fit the characteristics of a silver-smooth person.

At first, Cheng Tian didn't understand why he had been randomly assigned such a template, but after seeing the equipment description, he suddenly realized.

Silver Surfboard: Surfboard, special vehicle, template weapon. Equipment requirement: Silver Glider template. Durability: -/-. The iconic possession of the Silver Glider, and also the core vehicle that allows the Silver Glider to freely traverse the universe.

The silver surfboard consumes no MP in standby mode, but consumes 1 MP per second when running.

When you use the Silver Surfboard, you will be able to ignore the planet's gravity and air resistance within the instance, allowing you to move relatively freely inside the planet and in outer space. Your flight speed will be limited by your Agility base stat, with the current maximum speed being Mach 2.4.

When you are in a high-speed movement state, you will be in a relative phase movement state with most of the current instance units, but ranged attacks launched by yourself or the Silver Surfboard will not be subject to this rule.

As long as you stay on the surfboard, you will gain "cosmic adaptability," which allows you to completely ignore the negative effects of space, such as zero gravity, lack of oxygen, and cosmic radiation.

When you kill an enemy target unit, there is a small chance to obtain a Silver Wingman, with a maximum of 2. Due to your own class skill 'Mind Crystal', you will be able to summon Silver Wingmen/Mind Crystals directly without killing enemy units, increasing the maximum number to 6. ('Mind Crystal' collaboration enhancement)

[Friendly reminder: You can even try using the silver surfboard while driving a vehicle.]

In Cheng Tian's game master built-in judgment, compared to other templates that continue to enhance combat capabilities in areas such as vehicles and shooting, its selection tendency is clearly on the survival side.

The core meaning of this template lies in the "cosmic adaptability" offered when riding the silver glider.

Anyone who has played through the third installment and progressed to the storyline of the Heavenly Fiend Counterattack should be able to feel the perilous nature of the battle environment even through the screen.

When this situation is visualized as actual outer space, even a tiny scratch, causing a fingernail-sized tear in items such as oxygen tanks, spacesuits, or helmet visors, would be an irreparable and fatal blow to a creature that needs oxygen.

As can be seen from the dungeon descriptions, Space has made some remedial measures in this regard. For example, it has strengthened the spacesuit and space vehicles, allowing players to use their physique to resist the erosion of space. However, this only further highlights the danger of the space environment.

Similarly, in space battles involving cosmic movement and even midway through destruction, there are absolutely no related entries for Armored Warriors.

At this point, Cheng Tiancai truly possessed the ability to fly.

In the Stand world, being lifted by the collar and carried away is at most levitation, far from true flight.

Cheng Tian took off on his skateboard, and Eileen also enveloped her entire body in the wind, taking off on the spot by transforming her body into a wind elemental spirit.

Looking at the unscientific scene before her, Tama couldn't help but rub her temples, trying to convince herself to accept these supernatural sights.

Just as Tama was wondering whether his fellow first-stage superhumans were going to abandon their vehicles, the unmanned fighter jet and the helicopter that Tama was piloting suddenly started operating on their own without warning.

Along with the Helios transforming helicopter that appeared out of thin air, they slowly took off and formed a triangular formation of flying tanks!

A dozen minutes later, the Modern Army, which was escorting the ground transport troops and transporting supplies to the rocket launch base, was attacked by a matrix of flying tanks, wind elemental spirits, and silver gliders!

The most astonished were the player squads who had accepted the escort mission and were huddled on the modern transport aircraft.
