All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 88: The Best Attack Method?

Apart from these minor details, Su Xin was quite satisfied with the effect of the [Damage Transfer] superpower itself.

Even felt a bit pleasantly surprised.

This superpower made up for his shortcomings in attack. As long as he was within ten meters, he could damage the opponent by attacking himself.

No way to dodge.

No way to defend.

In a game, this would be equivalent to unavoidable, undefendable absolute damage.

From now on, he no longer needed to worry about his inaccurate shooting skills. As long as he instantaneously teleported within ten meters of the enemy, he could just shoot himself.

The enemy would definitely not be able to escape.

Of course, this superpower, like the previous three, also had its own defects.

The transfer target was random.

If there happened to be not just the enemy but also innocent people or allies within a ten-meter radius, it might cause serious collateral damage.

So, for now, this superpower could only be used when there were only enemies around.

"I just wonder how the superpower determines what constitutes an attack, is it based on my subjective will? Or the severity of the attack?"

"If it’s the former, that’s easy to say."

"If it’s the latter, perhaps this superpower will bring some minor troubles in life..."

Su Xin tried to imagine certain scenarios—

If he suddenly felt itchy somewhere, scratched casually, and was judged by the system as an attack, transferring it to a female classmate...

Or if he punched himself in frustration.

Or if he slapped a mosquito on himself, resulting in the damage being transferred to someone else...

Or if he accidentally bit his tongue while eating and, since the damage was transferred, didn’t notice and continued chewing as if it were part of the meal...

Thinking about the final scenario, Su Xin shuddered a little and quickly pulled his attention back, looking again at the young man in front of him who was still screaming.

And the other young man farther away.

"I need to test these things properly."

"Luckily, there’s still a target."

A few minutes later, Su Xin walked out of the alley, teleporting one step at a time, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

After multiple tests, he had basically confirmed the attack determination of the Damage Transfer superpower—

First, it had to be an attack behavior.

Second, it depended on the strength of the attack.

For example, scratching an itch and even scratching hard enough to leave red marks didn’t count as an attack behavior.

But if you slapped your face, regardless of the force, it counted as an attack.

This kind of determination seemed somewhat subjective.

But Su Xin roughly understood the mechanism.

Only, the specific application method needed further thought and research.

How could he achieve the highest attack efficiency with Concealment Prayer?

"If he encounters a tough enemy, then as before, use the characteristic of Instant Teleportation Withdrawal, so there’s no need to clasp his hands together; when appearing within ten meters of the enemy, just slash himself or fire a shot."

"If it’s a regular enemy encountered during rescue missions, there’s no need to be too troublesome, just clasp hands and teleport over; too lazy to use a knife or pull a gun, use the fist with the Finger Tiger, and punch himself hard on the chest..."

"Or he could bite his tongue..."

"Right! Biting the tongue, no need for hands, the damage is great and it’s very discreet."

"This is simply the best attack method!"

Su Xin’s eyes lit up.

This attacking method combined perfectly with Concealment Prayer; his biggest hassle was needing to clasp his hands together when teleporting, while most attacks required using hands, creating a constant conflict between teleporting and attacking.

Even with Instant Teleportation Withdrawal making attacks much easier, there were still many restrictions.

Now with Damage Transfer, biting his tongue could instantly render the opponent defenseless. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

This was so convenient!

"Huh? Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Su Xin had a thought.

"No, this isn’t right!"

"If he bit his tongue, it would mean his teeth would have to transcend space and time to connect with someone else’s tongue... Oh crap! Wouldn’t that be like kissing?"

Realizing this, Su Xin felt a chill; luckily, he hadn’t whimsically tried this on someone else but instead thought through all the details beforehand, otherwise it would have been too late for regrets.

He breathed a sigh of relief, resignedly thinking:

"Forget it, better to stick to attacking straightforwardly with hands. Maybe someday, if there’s time, see if he can modify the Finger Tiger, sharpening the studs, so that after clasping his hands to teleport, he could flip his hand and stab his chest directly."

"As long as he could skip the step of drawing a blade or pulling a gun, it’d be very convenient already."

"Or hurry to gather a hundred karma points and upgrade Damage Transfer to LV2, with an additional feature, there might be a big improvement."

Before long, Su Xin saw a well-dressed woman lying on the roadside outside a nightclub, about to be carried by a man into a nearby alley; he swiftly teleported over, bringing both within a ten-meter radius.

He pinched hard on the palm of his hand.

The woman, drunk beyond reason, instinctively let out a soft groan.

Su Xin immediately realized the damage transfer target was wrong, so he quickly let go and pinched his palm again.

This time, the man screamed and let go of his grip.

"Got it right!"

Su Xin thought to himself.

Not only did he not release, but he also clamped down more tightly, increasing the force, wishing he could embed his index and middle fingers entirely into the flesh of his palm.

This he discovered through his research: though the transfer target was random, no matter how long an attack persisted or how the force increased, the target wouldn’t change.

So, he first tested the transfer target by pinching the palm, then increased the force once the target was confirmed.

The man fueled by lust screamed, clutching his palm, slapped and rubbed it randomly, finding no relief.

Then he noticed Su Xin standing mysteriously not far away. Though he hadn’t connected the sudden pain and Su Xin, he couldn’t continue his evil act under such conditions and promptly turned to flee.

After running a short distance away.

The pain in his palm abruptly vanished.

The man paused in surprise.

Instinctively, he paused, turned back to look at Su Xin not far behind, and a thought flashed through his mind, almost beyond belief—

"Could it be... he did this?"

With a sense of awe towards the mysterious and a slight fear of the inexplicable pain earlier, the man hastily resumed running, fleeing in a panic.

"Ding! Gained 6 karma points."

Su Xin glanced calmly at the young woman lying on the ground, took a step forward, and flickered beyond ten meters away.

As for the woman on the ground, since she got herself drunk alone to this extent, she should have been aware of the possible outcomes; it was already good enough that he helped her this once, no need to do more.

Moreover, while he considered it as helping, he might very well have thwarted her intentions.
