Buzz!
Accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness, Shi Li arrived at the top of a bare mountain.
A strong wind was raging on the top of the mountain, whistling past him and blowing his clothes violently.
Occasionally, clouds are pushed by the wind and pass by quickly, like waves.
The wind pressure felt like a ruthless hand slapping my cheeks, like a warning from nature.
The area at the top of the mountain is very small, about the size of a basketball court.
There is a trapezoidal altar in the center, with a long stone staircase leading to the top of the altar.
Perhaps because of being polished by the wind for many years, the surface of the stone steps is very smooth, and you can even see some reflections on it, like a mirror.
Looking up from our current angle, we cannot see what is happening above.
The place where he was standing at this moment was the edge of the mountain top.
There is an air wall as support, so people will not fall.
Shi Li leaned out and looked down the mountain. Under the faint clouds, he could see that everything on the earth had become very small.
There are some other mountains of different shapes around, forming a large mountain range.
This is the highest place on the mountain, and you feel like you can see all the other mountains from below.
“I don’t know what this [incident] will be.”
"I hope it's not too much trouble."
Looking back at the top of the mountain, his eyes rested on the trapezoidal altar.
We walked up the stone steps and soon reached the top.
The altar was empty, there was nothing on it.
Standing there in confusion, he looked up.
After a while, I really saw a flying shadow in the sky.
Soon, the figure flew closer and closer.
Shi Li vaguely saw that this seemed to be a concave birdman.
At this time, the birdman was approaching him rapidly, but he did not see any warning red circle on the other party's body.
"Hello~Shi Li Pai Player~!"
As she passed over his head, Shi Li heard a joyful greeting.
"Um?"
Unexpectedly, the other party called out his name as soon as he opened his mouth.
Shi Li raised his head to ask, but found that the other party had flown away again and was making big circles in the air, as if it was about to turn around.
The last time he encountered this situation, he remembered that he met the Messenger of Balance, and the other party also directly called out his name at that time.
But if he remembered correctly, the messenger should only appear in level 9.
(I came in openly this time, is there any bug again?)
This reminded him of the last time a bug occurred and how he was pulled back from the Way of Wisdom by the Messenger of Balance.
"Welcome to the event ~【Greeting Gift】~!"
The birdman flew over the head again, leaving these words.
“…”
Shi Li didn't even hear clearly what the other party said.
"Can you come down and talk~?"
There was no other way, he could only shout to the sky at the top of his lungs.
“Sorry~!”
After hearing this, the other party finally narrowed the range of its flight and began to circle around the altar.
It was not until this time that Shi Li was finally able to see the other person's face clearly.
Very similar to the bird-man monster in the previous level, but dressed more appropriately.
It was no longer an animal skin garment, but a windproof jacket.
Moreover, the aura it exudes is not comparable to those of the monsters.
"Sorry, it's my mission to keep flowing~"
"Wind Chaser?"
"That's right~"
Listening to the other party's answer, Shi Li sat down and rubbed his neck.
It's too painful not to be able to follow this lunatic.
"What did you just say?"
"Welcome to the event ~【Greeting Gift】~!"
As the Wind Chaser spoke, he also let out an artificial 360-degree surround silver bell laugh.
"【Gift for meeting you】?"
When Shi Li heard it, he felt it seemed like a good thing.
But he was also a little wary, because these copies often had a lot of traps set up to lure people into the traps.
"That's right~ In this level~ you will get a welcome gift from me~!"
"Of course, you must have heard of the concept of reciprocity!"
The Wind Chaser continued to circle.
"I knew it."
When Shi Li heard this, he realized that there was no benefit in getting it for free.
"Now~ you can discard any non-Wind Chaser card~ in exchange for a Wind Chaser card of the same level~!"
The Wind Chaser believes that he is not as stingy as the Balance.
Even when giving benefits, they are sneaky and stingy.
But of course, the bottom line must still be followed.
Exchanging cards of the same level did not break the rules, but also promoted the Wind Chaser card and did a favor.
Kill three birds with one stone.
call!
As she finished her words, the wind around her suddenly became stronger.
Shi Li squinted his eyes due to the wind, but he could still see five rays of light flying towards him from the distant sky.
whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Then 5 cards were displayed in front of him.
Just like when you draw a card, there is a question mark on the face of the card and you can’t see the content.
The 5 cards are arranged in order, each one shining brighter than the last.
The card on the far left has no light at all and looks very ordinary.
The one on the far right radiates golden light, which is the light of an A-level card.
"ABCDE, why are there no S-level cards?"
Shi Li counted them.
"Sorry, because the S-level card is too unique, it cannot be exchanged!"
The Wind Chaser laughed again.
In fact, she also knew that Shi Li certainly couldn't have an S-level card.
"Any kind of card can be exchanged, right?"
"Yes~"
"Is it okay to have a bad hand?"
"Of course~"
"Will the quality of the card I get in exchange be determined by the card I discard?"
Shi Li asked the most important question.
"Don't worry about that~ The cards you discard will not affect the quality of the corresponding cards~"
The Wind Chaser walked around the altar seven or eight times before he finished speaking: "Also, you can choose a tag, and I will provide you with cards within the scope of this tag~!"
"Oh? You're still so kind?"
Shi Li raised his eyebrows: "You are such a good person, thank you."
"Thank you~!"
The Wind Chaser smiled warmly.
"How about a Kung Fu label ?"
Shi Li gave the answer without much thought.
I have the most Kung Fu cards and they are almost complete.
Moreover, this kind of niche label will basically not encounter restraining cards, so it is very useful.
"As you wish~ huh~!"
Then the Wind Chaser blew towards the five cards.
The cards all spun around, seemingly without any change.
But in fact, they have all become Kung Fu cards.
"Can I see the cards?"
At that time, I started to think about previewing it.
"Of course~ Please~"
After getting the consent of the Wind Chaser, he moved closer to the cards.
The first step is not to preview them, but to see what the cards look like.
"hiss……!"
However, after taking a few glances at the E-level card on the far left, he was stunned.
Then continue reading down and read through all the levels from E to B.
"Are these cards all gold-rimmed?"
He looked at the other person with a little disbelief.
The gold-edged brand can actually be observed with the naked eye.
It’s just that Shi Li didn’t know this concept before, let alone how to distinguish it.
That time in Lanlan City, the local store staff gave him a special introduction.
As long as you know how to distinguish, you can distinguish between gold edges and non-gold edges if you look carefully.
"Golden Edge~? Um... yes~"
The Wind Chaser paused for a moment, figuring out the meaning of the word "gold-edged": "If you mean their potential, these are cards that can be fused into A-level cards!"
I didn’t expect that the cards given by the Wind Chaser, although of different levels, were all gold-rimmed cards!
This makes things very interesting for Shi Li.
Returning to the E-level card, he looked at it carefully.
The preview results appeared in front of my eyes.
The projection of the card is a guy wearing half a Peking Opera mask.
The mask only had the upper half, the lower half revealed the other person's chin and a long bird-like beak.
Judging from his body shape, he should be a teenager.
The bird-beaked boy held a crescent-shaped sword in one hand and had a pair of black wings behind him.
He stood straight and looked quite strong.
【Crowman】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, E
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/6
The score and attack power are both on the low side, but the energy limit of 6 points is relatively high, which is rare.
Look down, D-level.
【Crowman】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, D
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/6
[Wind of Affinity - Passive]: Raven Man recovers an additional 0.5 energy points per round
(oh?)
What he saw in the preview made Shi Li raise his eyebrows.
The skill is a good passive energy recovery.
But it wasn't enough to cause him to react like this.
What really surprised him was that this D-level card was actually a higher level than the E-level card just now.
Does that mean these 5 cards are all from the same series?
I continued reading and found it was true.
【Crowman】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, C
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/6
[Wind of Affinity - Passive]: Raven Man recovers an additional 0.5 energy points per round
[Martial Spirit - Passive]: During the turn when Crowman [Moves], he can [Heal] 1 of his own Kung Fu cards for 30 points.
This second skill is actually a nanny's skill, and it is a nanny skill specifically targeting Kung Fu cards.
[Move] allows you to dodge attacks and restore health at the same time, which is a pretty good mechanism.
You should know that generally speaking [Move] and [Heal] are independent actions, and if you perform one in the same round, you cannot perform the other.
The only card I've seen before that can achieve a similar effect is Wang Defa's [Golden Demon Mother]. Remember, that's an A-level card.
It just so happens that my Kung Fu deck is missing a nanny card.
[Mantid Lady] is a big blood consumer.
Shi Li felt that if he guessed correctly, the next third skill should be [Move].
After all, without the [Move] skill, [Martial Spirit] would be completely useless.
When the preview results appeared, he did not guess correctly.
The new skill added by B-level [Crow Man] is not [Move], but it is a better skill!
【Crowman】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, B
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/6
[Wind of Affinity - Passive]: Raven Man recovers an additional 0.5 energy points per round
[Martial Spirit - Passive]: During the turn when Crowman [Moves], he can [Heal] 1 of his own Kung Fu cards for 30 points.
[Wind of Righteousness - 3 Energy]: The Crowman chooses a Kung Fu card from his team and attacks with it (does not trigger negative effects)
(!)
The best, absolutely the best skills!
This card can actually carry your own Kung Fu card to launch a coordinated attack? !
Originally, he thought that this card was just a survival card.
But now it’s different. This is obviously a good card that can be used for both offense and defense!
You know, if it is paired with [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit], isn't it 20+50 attacks?
The key is that if you attack once extra, [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] can recover 1 more energy point!
The only regret is that this synergy cannot trigger the negative effects of the attack.
Negative effects refer to the negative effects that come with an attack.
For example, [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit]'s [A Little Effort to Deflect a Great Weight], [Mandrite Girl]'s [Mantis Catching Cicada] and [Mantis Arm Stopping a Chariot], these effects do not act on the enemy but on oneself, and they can still be effective.
It is understandable that [The Spirit of Loyalty] has such restrictions.
Otherwise, if you find a card like [Big Sheep] (when attacking the target twice in 1 round, it will be [stunned]), and combine it with [Crow Man], wouldn’t you be invincible?
However, even if it does not trigger negative effects, it is already very powerful.
It really is worthy of being a gold-rimmed card. This B-grade card has the tendency to be a supermodel.
Continuing to look at the A-level cards, this time it was expected.
【Crowman】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, A
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/6
[Wind of Affinity - Passive]: Raven Man recovers an additional 0.5 energy points per round
[Martial Spirit - Passive]: During the turn when Crowman [Moves], he can [Heal] 1 of his own Kung Fu cards for 30 points.
[Walker's Wind - 2 Energy]: Raven Man [Moves] 1 card slot
[Wind of Righteousness - 3 Energy]: The Crowman chooses a Kung Fu card from his team and attacks with it (does not trigger negative effects)
In general, there is treatment, you can escape, and you can cooperate with teammates to deal high damage.
It can excel on both offense and defense. This is a very strong A-level card.
“…”
After browsing these five cards, Shi Li fell into deep thought.
Obviously, he would definitely not exchange an A-grade card for an A-grade card.
After all, he only had two A-grade cards now, [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] + [Iron Stick], both of which were very precious.
And if we have to compare, it is definitely not worse than the [Crow Man].
But change your thinking. What if you exchange for a B-level [Crow Man] and then rub it into an A-level card?
That's equivalent to exchanging a B-grade for an A-grade.
In comparison, isn’t it a pure loss to exchange an A-grade product for an A-grade product?
"Please wait a moment."
After figuring this out, he motioned for the other party to wait.
The B-level cards I have are all useful, so I’m reluctant to give them away.
If I have to give it, of course I'll give it to the rotten one, and the super rotten one.
There's no need to preview this because he already has the answer.
So he clapped his hands.
Buzz!
The light overflows and the card is completed.
"~?"
The Wind Chaser, who was still circling, tilted his head to indicate that he didn't understand.
Is this a live shuffle?
It was a hit at the first try, and it was also a B-grade one?
I have the impression that shuffling cards... isn't that easy, right?
"I'll just exchange it for a B-level one."
Shi Li glanced at the opponent's trajectory and speed, then flicked his two fingers and threw the card out casually.
Whoosh~
The cards spun, drawing a beautiful arc.
He flew to the opponent's route in advance with predicted advance time.
“Ouch~!”
As a result, the card hit the Wind Chaser's face.
"Sorry, I didn't calculate it correctly."
Shi Li secretly said what a pity.
If it hadn't been smeared on the other person's face, this move would have been quite cool.
The magical wind lifted up the B-level card and presented it to the Wind Chaser, but she took a glance at it and almost fell from the air.
The projections on the card are two zongzi-shaped people with hands and feet.
Judging from the shape of their mouths, they should be cursing at each other.
【Sweet and salty rice dumplings】
Balanced, 20 points, B
Attack 20, 100/100
[Sweet Zongzi is the Best - Passive]: Sweet Zongzi and Salty Zongzi can only attack Salty Zongzi cards
[Salty Zongzi is the Best - Passive]: Sweet Zongzi and salty Zongzi can only attack sweet Zongzi cards
[Then Don't Be Great - Passive]: Leave the stage immediately after the sweet and salty zongzi are unveiled
"I did just promise you that you could trade for the bad cards!"
"But your cards are really bad!"
“And it’s so hard to choose! Which one is better, sweet or salty?”
The Wind Chaser couldn't help but complain.
But she kept her promise.
The B-level [Crow Man] flew automatically into Shi Li's hand with a whoosh, and the other four turned into blue light and dissipated.
"OKK."
Shi Li did not delay after getting the card and directly took out [Wind Speeder] with his other hand.
Close your eyes for a moment, then smile.
Plan pass～
Clap your hands.
Buzz!
The light overflows and the card is completed.
【Follow me into the wind! 】
A golden beam of light, unique to A-level cards, appeared on the card, and the masked crow boy flapped his wings and flew out.
A-level [Crow Man], here we have it, right?
"ah?!"
The Wind Chaser was dumbfounded on the spot.
"Thanks, Wind Chaser."
Shi Li waved his hand to express his thanks, then pointed to the portal that had popped up: "Anything else? If not, I'm leaving now."
Finally, under the confused gaze of the Wind Chaser, he walked into the orange door of [Battle].
With the addition of [Crow Man], it became easier for him to fight in the later levels.
Two hours later, Shi Li arrived at [Zero Level Nine].
It is still the same windy mountaintop, and still the same bare altar.
"...Is it because my deck has become stronger?"
Looking at the sky above the altar, where the birdman was circling and approaching, Shi Li muttered to himself.
After going through the first few levels, he gained a lot.
Because the [Wind Chaser] and [Wind Speeder] I just got have been used up, I collected another copy of each.
By the way, I also collected a few other cards with good effects, but the key is...
This time, I was completely reckless.
This [Way of Chasing the Wind] frequently exiled monsters, causing the [Power of Determination] that I chose to be completely ineffective.
Therefore, I didn't use any inscriptions to match the inscription effect of [Power of Steadfastness]. I basically just picked them randomly, choosing whichever one I liked.
I also went to [the event] twice and got two generous chasing points.
As a result, you can still get in front of the BOSS by playing like this?
I just wonder if the Wind Chaser will give me a welcome gift when I first arrive at the 9th level?
And what kind of BOSS is waiting for me in the 10th level after the 9th level?
