For Lily, the focus of Combat Etiquette was not on etiquette, but on combat.
She would always be alone sometimes, or encounter enemies that were too strong, even if she controlled the enemy, the player's output would not be enough to cause serious damage to the enemy within 2 seconds.
So she needed to come up with a Combat Etiquette that could not only control the enemy for 2 seconds, but also allow the enemy to inflict serious damage on themselves within those 2 seconds.
"Punching oneself in the head right off the bat?"
After a brief thought, Lily rejected this design.
With her physique, even if she punched herself, it would be difficult to cause much damage, but it was possible to knock herself into a [Stun] state.
Although the enemy would imitate her actions and punch themselves in the head, what if she was stunned, and the enemy, with extremely good luck, wasn't? Wouldn't that be the end?
Such a high-risk action was not to be taken.
"If using a gun..."
Before a fight, first learn from the Evil God of Fire Cloud and shoot yourself twice.
Lily shook her head. When her physique was in the twenties, she wasn't afraid of Ordinary pistols. Now that her physique had risen to 37 points, even large-caliber pistols would have difficulty causing substantial damage to her.
But the problem was that she would carry a pistol, but her enemies might not, so this set of Combat Etiquette could only be used against specific enemies.
It's better to use fists. Hitting the head isn't good, but hitting other places is different.
She had a move called Fatal Crotch Strike, which could cause serious damage to most enemies without causing any harm to herself.
If the enemy was wearing armor, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles were also good targets.
Lily contentedly placed the book back on the bookshelf.
After leaving the archives, she found Shino, and the two walked around nearby. Nearing noon, they returned to their residence for a meal, and then went back to the Four Directions Office Building.
This time, Lily came to meet Director Madeleine, the director of Four Directions.
When she entered the director's office accompanied by Shino, Director Madeleine was looking at a report while drinking wolfberry tea.
"Oh, Lily, ha ha ha, I've heard your name so many times from Shino these past two days, and today we finally meet."
Director Madeleine stood up with a laugh.
His hair was slightly gray, and when he smiled, he didn't look like a director in charge of a secret agent organization, but more like a kind old man.
Just like the affability he showed on the outside, his words also gave people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
Lily originally thought she would be interrogated this time, but unexpectedly, Director Madeleine didn't say a single extra word throughout the entire process. Besides praising her heroic performance at the Abandoned Cooling Plant, he was talking about rewards.
"According to the 'Gene Primordial Anti-Truth Society Attack Regulations (Fourth Revision)', individuals or organizations that have made particularly significant contributions to preventing, stopping, or combating Truth Society attacks will be rewarded. With your contribution at the Abandoned Cooling Plant this time, a Silver Moon Medal and a bonus are a given. Considering that you also helped our Four Directions greatly this time, I personally decided to give you some additional rewards. You can make any requests, and I will try my best to satisfy them, even joining Four Directions is not impossible."
Join Four Directions?
This way, she would be considered an insider. If she made great contributions, it should be easier to access psionic knowledge chains than outsiders.
But there were also many disadvantages to joining Four Directions, the most important of which was that her freedom would be restricted.
Before figuring out the pros and cons of each faction, and where it was more suitable for her to participate in the main plot, Lily was not in a hurry to make a decision.
Finally, with a slim chance, she asked Director Madeleine if she could borrow advanced psionic knowledge mastered by the Gene Primordial.
