Following Director Xiu out of the control room, Shi Li indeed saw the eight-colored wolf-fox.
It is basically the same as the one seen in the arena, except that it is a little smaller.
It's as big as a corgi and very cute.
"Let's get to know each other."
Director Xiu introduced the two parties.
"My friend who has come all the way from the Wind Chasing District, Spinach."
"My new coach at the gym, Hour."
It was the first time that Shi Li encountered a player from the Wind Chasing District, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times out of curiosity.
If you look closely , the hairs on the spinach appear cloud-like.
The eight colors intertwined together do not seem abrupt.
After introducing each other, Director Xiu took them to the lounge on the top floor.
"Why are you here too?"
Shi Li was very surprised to see Secretary He who had been waiting for a long time in the lounge.
"You are seriously late."
Secretary He pointed to the time, slightly dissatisfied.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Haha, Bocai!"
Spinach jumped onto the sofa.
Soon, everyone was seated.
Director He and his companions, Bocai, probably hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they started chatting.
These two men and the wolf-fox were old acquaintances, so Shi Li naturally had a hard time fitting in and could only listen from the side.
"How have you been lately? Are you still running around?"
Secretary He took the tablet in the lounge and started ordering drinks and snacks.
"Of course, we dare not forget the teachings of our ancestors."
Spinach changed to a more comfortable position on the sofa.
"Our two families are old friends."
Director Xiu turned to Shi Li, pointed at himself and then at the spinach.
"I heard that the ancestors of both sides knew each other from a long, long time ago."
It was a friendship between ancestors so ancient that they were not even aware of it.
"This guy's ancestors are a bit weird."
As he spoke, Director Xiu began to introduce him again.
"Director, are you sure you're not cursing?"
Shi Li felt that this statement was a bit strange.
If you don't respect the other person's ancestors, aren't you afraid of being visited in dreams?
"Of course it's not an insult. Just ask them what their ancestral teachings are and you'll know."
Director Xiu spread his hands and disagreed.
"A Xiu is right, haha."
Regarding this point, Spinach did not deny: "The ancestral motto left by our ancestors is to travel all over the mountains and rivers of this world, Bocai~"
"It doesn't sound weird at all, but this world must be very big..."
Shi Li did not carefully search for information about the area of ​​the cubic metaverse.
Or rather, he never got a more specific answer.
But just think about the territory that can accommodate all kinds of races, its vastness is truly beyond description.
Only the legendary divine power can create such a big world.
"You are avoiding the main point. Can you please tell me more details?"
However, Secretary He's words made Shi Li realize that things might not be that simple.
"That... is... Bocai..."
Faced with this question, Spinach suddenly became hesitant and looked as if he found it difficult to speak.
“It doesn’t tell the whole story.”
Director Xiu was standing nearby and revealed, "Their ancestral motto is to travel across the entire cubic card universe and leave their mark."
"So to be precise, the first of their ancestral teachings is: mark the great rivers and mountains."
Secretary He continued.
"mark?"
Shi Li was slightly stunned, and then seemed to understand something.
Mark, could it be referring to...
"The urine of our Dark Cloud Rainbow Wolf Fox tribe is lightning and very clean! Bo Cai!"
Spinach's tone sounded a bit angry and embarrassed.
"I see."
Shi Li suddenly realized.
I have to say, this kind of clan motto is really weird.
Even if there is thunder and lightning, it is not elegant to urinate everywhere. Every year, many people are fined for misbehaving in tourist attractions or being caught in the street after drinking.
But he could understand a little bit.
I heard that some races do attach great importance to their ancestral teachings and regard them as spiritual totems.
Even though thousands of years have passed, it is still strictly followed and enforced.
"The key point is that their tribe later discovered a fact."
At this time, Director Xiu continued to reveal his shortcomings: "That is, after arriving in the cubic card metaverse, I found that the speed of marking could not keep up with the speed of the expansion of the world's territory."
The Cubic Metaverse often accepts new native worlds and takes in the people from that world.
This continuous population growth naturally requires land and space.
So it is said that Shi Li had only heard about it before that the land area of ​​the Cubic Metaverse is constantly increasing.
Of course, maybe someone could reach the edge of the world that continues to stretch outward.
But they are a minority and there is rarely any news.
"So their second-generation ancestors came up with a solution."
Secretary He continued, "We have added a second ancestral precept to the Dark Cloud Rainbow Wolf Fox Clan..."
"I have heard of such cases."
Shi Li immediately remembered the text he had learned in school on Blue Star, and recited it softly: "'Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains': Son gave birth to grandson, grandson gave birth to son, and the descendants are endless. Mountains are no longer high, but they are famous if there are immortals. Water is no longer deep, but it is magical if there are dragons. This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant."
Fortunately, there are no Blue Star people here, otherwise he would be criticized.
"Ah? What do you mean?"
Director Xiu was even stunned by this wave of plagiarism.
"It means that as long as we have descendants, even mountains can be moved away."
Shi Li explained, then looked at them with a smile and said confidently: "So the second ancestral precept should be to reproduce more offspring."
Secretary He: "No, the second ancestral motto of this family is: drink more hot water."
Shi Li: “?”
Director Xiu: "If you drink more water, you will naturally pee more."
Shi Li: “???”
Spinach: "If you pee more, you can mark faster~ Bo Cai~"
Shi Li: “???”
It seems that every member of the Dark Cloud Rainbow Wolf-Fox clan is a talented person. These two ancestral precepts are really outrageous.
"But... will drinking hot water or cold water have any effect on urine output?"
He asked after a few seconds of pausing.
Spinach: "It won't have any effect, but drinking hot water is healthier, killing two birds with one stone~"
Shi Li: “…”
Director Xiu: "Wow, Xiaoshi accepted it so quickly."
Secretary He: "I thought he would complain about why he drank water but urinated out electricity."
It is indeed as Director Xiu said, after seeing more and more weird things, Shi Li’s resistance has become stronger and stronger.
All I can say is that the ancestors of this Dark Cloud Rainbow Wolf-Fox Clan were able to establish such ancestral precepts, so they must be all talented.
"The world is so big, just make it big."
Director Xiu thought about it and kindly advised: "Why don't you just stop peeing and let it go."
"Okay, let's talk business."
Without waiting for Spinach to respond, Secretary He started the next topic.
If just a few words would be useful, my cousin wouldn't have to persuade the other party every time.
"Yes, yes, let's talk business, Bocai~!"
When this was mentioned, Spinach suddenly perked up: "Have you brought all the things?"
"Of course." x2
As they spoke, Director Xiu and Secretary He took out something almost at the same time.
"Um?"
Shi Li took a look and raised his brows.
The crystal is hexagonal in shape, like a token.
In the middle of the token were written two big words: Balance.
This thing is the key to the copy of [The Way of Balance].
And...it seems to be a copy key that has never been used or bound.
"Very good, very good, Bo Caiou!"
Spinach on the other side spat out two similar copy crystals.
The words on it were different from the others, and read: Chasing the Wind.
(The key to the [Wind Chasing Way] dungeon...!)
Shi Li's pupils shrank.
After having tasted the [Way of Balance], he would know the taste of this series of dungeons.
I can only say it’s awesome, the benefits are much higher than those from ordinary dungeons.
It’s a pity that the key of this copy has a CD, so you can’t enter continuously even if you take drugs.
It will take nearly 30 days before his [Way of Balance] can be opened again.
But what is the situation now? Both parties took out the copy keys, are they planning to exchange them?
"Being in the Balance Region, it is naturally easier for us to obtain the [Way of Balance] than for those outside."
Seeing his puzzled expression, Director Xiu smiled and explained: "After all, my grandfather has some connections in the Balance District."
"Similarly, if you want to obtain the [Wind Chasing Method], it would be more convenient to seek help from people in the Wind Chasing District."
Secretary He echoed.
"So the piece I got you before was just a by-product."
Director Xiu said again.
"Oh? You've also been to the Way of Balance? What's your progress now?"
Hearing this, Spinach asked curiously.
"It's just so-so, [Second Level Nine]."
Shi Li spoke truthfully.
"Oh, that's really normal. I've already mastered the Wind Chasing Technique."
Spinach curled his lips.
Although this group of people is long-lived, they also develop very slowly.
If converted into human years, it is probably in its early twenties now, much younger than Director Xiu and the others.
“But in fact, there is no transaction between us.”
At this time, Director Xiu summoned the card table and said with a smile: "It's a bet."
"Come on, I'm so excited, bocaicaicaicai!"
There was a faint flash of electricity flowing through Spinach's body.
"?"
Shi Li looked at Secretary He beside him in confusion.
"As you can see, they are going to play a round of 9+1, and the stakes are each other's copy crystals."
Secretary He smiled.
"Playing so big?"
He was stunned.
"Pay attention to the game, it will be your turn next time."
"What's the meaning?"
These words made Shi Li even more confused.
"Hmm? You..."
Similarly, Director He, who was arranging the deck of cards, turned around and looked at Secretary He when he heard this.
"Oh? Does that mean he's going to have a second bet with me later?"
The look in Spinach's eyes when he looked at Shi Li was different.
In response, Secretary He just smiled and didn't say anything.
The ten consecutive wins in the past few days gave Secretary He hope for the revival of the card hall in Shi Li.
So he thought about it, instead of betting on spinach, why not bet on Shi Li.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Director Xiu said nothing more.
Finally, both teams have laid out their decks and the game begins.
Since Secretary He wanted him to take the stage, Shi Li simply sat down quietly on the sofa.
I plan to observe carefully to see what this eight-colored dark cloud rainbow wolf-fox is doing.
The first round of unveiling has arrived, and the first to unveil is spinach.
It just wagged its short tail and used its telekinesis to directly reveal the first row of cards.
【Woohoo! 】
A huge white cloud emerged from the card.
Apart from having a pair of facial features that resemble a Q-version cartoon, Baiyun is just a white cloud overall.
The most eye-catching thing is that it directly occupies three spaces.
【Big Cloud】
Firm, 70 points, B
Attack 70, 300/300, 0/3
[Large Volume - Passive]: A large cloud occupies 3 slots in a row, HP +200
[Bouncing Body - Passive]: Big Cloud will rebound the attack force it receives, causing the target to take 5 points of damage
[Cloud Blindness - 2 Energy]: A large cloud causes a target to become [Blind] for 1 turn
(【Blindness】: Unable to select a target this round)
When Shi Li saw this giant card, he raised his eyebrows.
Don't be fooled by its harmless appearance, it is actually a hedgehog card.
In other words, it can attack and defend, and also has control.
And unlike the [Giant Zombie], it does not have the disadvantage of anemia.
Overall, it is a fairly qualified B-grade card. If you encounter it, it will be quite difficult to deal with.
Just then, he heard Secretary He speaking in a low voice.
"The giant card is just restrained by your card."
The other party poked Shi Li with his elbow.
"Shh... and maybe no one else will play this card in the next round."
Shi Li answered naturally in a low voice without hesitation for a second.
This is a private occasion, so the card table does not have a blue light barrier function turned on.
It just so happened that Spinach had a very sharp sense of hearing. Its ears twitched slightly, and it memorized the conversation between the two people in its mind without making any expression.
Shi Li exchanged glances with Secretary He: Very good, very natural x2.
He didn't expect that this guy with glasses was quite smart.
He knew that he would not be able to deal with [Big Cloud], so he acted like this.
If Shi Li wasn't also an excellent table actor, he probably wouldn't be able to handle this sudden scene.
If you pause for even half a second, others might be able to see the flaw.
He couldn't cheat at the poker table, but Shi Li was very good at these methods outside the table.
Now I believe that it is better to believe it than not to believe it. It is very likely that the giant card will not be used in the next round.
However, there is no time to consider the next round now.
Because Director Xiu has already revealed his first row of cards.
【The clouds move with my heart! 】
Her card is handsome and elegant, with a man wearing a white robe and holding a spear.
A man with wings on his back and a beak like a bird, looking like an immortal.
【Little Yunzhongjun】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Cloud Spear - Passive]: For every cloud card on the table, Yun Zhongjun's attack power +10
[Cloud Armor - Passive]: When Yun Zhongjun is attacked by a cloud card, damage -5
[Wind Power - 2 Energy]: Yun Zhongjun blows up a strong wind, causing (20+10) damage to each of the three revealed tablets.
"I have been preparing this card for a long time in order to welcome you."
After Director Xiu revealed the card, he smiled triumphantly.
This cloud-killing card is indeed specifically designed to target the [Big Cloud].
Moreover, the active skill [Wind Power] can restrain giant cards.
It is marked as an attack on a 3-square target, which is equivalent to causing 90 points of damage to it.
But this was not enough, and Director Xiu revealed another card.
[System, starting]
A mercury-like beach-like projection emerged from the card surface and gradually transformed into a metallic square shape.
【CZ35 nanomachine cluster】
Wisdom, 30 points, C
Attack 10, 100/100, 3/3
[Vector Dispersion - Passive]: CZ35 Nanomachine Group's attack power -20
[Internal Structure Destruction - 3 Energy]: The CZ35 Nanomachine Group selects a target to self-destruct, causing 50 damage. If the target is a giant card, an additional 20 damage is caused and converted into [True Damage]
(【True Damage】: cannot be offset or reduced by any defensive means)
Another card targeting giant cards.
"It's over. Once these two cards are revealed, a clear advantage will appear immediately."
Shi Li could give a very objective evaluation without even looking at the third card.
"So, the disadvantages of this giant card are still very obvious."
Secretary He nodded, holding his chin, and agreed: "That means you only have one card, which makes it very easy to be targeted."
“…”
This time Shi Li did not respond, but glanced at the other party.
Well...it seems like the drama is a bit over the top.
However, Spinach seemed to have no mood to pay attention to what they said and was immersed in the card table.
It's no secret that I like to use cloud decks.
This is a natural preference that comes from its bloodline, just like it actually likes to mark its territory.
However, being caught by Xiu Wushuang was still a bit unexpected.
Because I just not long ago!
He must have been playing cards with the guys from Tingfeng District some time ago, and they sold him the information!
Damn it!
It seems that all we can do now is to try our best to recover the losses.
But the current situation can be described as a case of unintentional consequences.
After more than a dozen rounds of fierce fighting, it was finally defeated.
The 40-point card king has not been revealed, and all of the team's regular cards have been destroyed.
The opponent has 2 regular cards left, totaling 45 points, plus 30 points for the unrevealed trump card, totaling 75 points.
"You're awesome for this one, Bocai!"
Without revealing its trump card, it simply pressed the surrender button.
Buzz...
The blue light of the card table dissipated, and Spinach angrily handed a [Way of Chasing the Wind] crystal to Director Xiu.
"Thank you, haha."
Director Xiu laughed twice and took the copy crystal.
Spinach's expression at this moment must be one of pain.
After all, a copy crystal of the level of [The Way of Chasing the Wind] is not something you can get just by stretching out your hand.
At least he would have to be beaten twice by the elders of the clan before he could steal it.
Originally, it had prepared several strong cards for this battle against Show Wushuang.
As a result, as soon as the first row of cards was revealed, the plan was disrupted and he was unable to take them out.
"Let's play a few more rounds later, so you can experience my new cards, Bocai!"
After saying something harsh to Director Xiu, it looked at Shi Li again: "Now it's your turn, come on."
Shi Li is its last hope. If it doesn't bring back a piece of [The Way of Balance] this time, at least one of its hind legs will be broken.
