He had already used up all of his initial capital, and this 1,000+ was accumulated in the previous levels.
"Strengthen them all!"
He gritted his teeth and clicked all of them.
Forget about accumulating funds.
I'll be thankful if I can defeat the BOSS on this last trip.
The matter of accumulating initial capital can wait until next time.
2 hours later.
Buzz!
Shi Li's figure appeared in his room.
"Top, this boss is too despicable."
He wiped his face and felt it was such a pity.
The normal logic of beating a BOSS is to try to fill up your deck's health as much as possible before entering the next stage.
But who would have thought that this BOSS would do the opposite. When entering the third stage, the more health left in his deck, the more damage he would suffer.
They were wiped out as soon as they met.
"If I had a few more chances, maybe I could have passed, oh."
"But the levels will be refreshed. The next time you enter the [Wind Chasing Road], the third level will no longer be the third level of the desert today, and the BOSS will no longer be that BOSS."
"Anyway, just write it down first. If you have a chance to meet it again next time, just remember how to fight it."
After sitting on the stool for a while, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
While taking a shower, I started calculating the time.
I'm not too tired today, so I can do some other things.
Actually, there is nothing special about it. I just go to the museum to pay back the money, then go to the library to look through some books, and then play cards.
This time, [The Way of Chasing the Wind] gained a total of several thousand cubic coins. After paying them off this time and coming out of the next copy, I should be able to pay them all off.
"Actually, come to think of it, my first A-rank card cost quite a bit."
"Comparatively speaking, the following A-level cards are much easier. Is this what they mean by the difficulty at the beginning?"
"This trip to the Wind Chasing Road is totally worth it."
"【Crowman】【Sword Dancer】【Blind Swordsman】, a total of 3 gold-edged cards."
"If it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't have done so well on this trip."
After taking a shower, he put on his clothes and called Director Xiu.
The other party happened to be going to a card hall that night, so they agreed on a time.
When I walked into the living room, I saw a green jelly figure, Slime.
"What about them? They haven't come out yet."
Although the Slime was there, he wasn't sure whether the other guys were still in the copy.
"Master, you finally came out!"
When the Slime saw Shi Li, he burst into tears and spoke in strange overlapping sounds.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As a result, at this moment, three rays of light appeared in the living room.
What a coincidence, the mushrooms are back!
Shi Li entered the base right after him, and this group of people followed almost immediately afterwards.
In other words, in terms of real time, the time taken by both sides is very close.
But if Shi Li remembered correctly, the time flow ratio of the [Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms] seemed to be 1:30.
"You... stayed in the dungeon for a year?"
After a rough calculation, Shi Li was a little dumbfounded.
This is much longer than his own best record of less than 100 days in [Demon Exorcist].
"I was only in there for 3 days, boo~"
Slime seemed quite proud when he mentioned this.
After staying in the dungeon for a year, the temperament of the mushrooms seems to have changed.
Of course, Ah Qing was hiding in the doll costume and couldn't be seen.
Mosaichu's eyes became much sharper, and no one knew what he had experienced.
The straw man's body was withered and yellow, probably because there was no milk tea to drink and he was lacking nutrition.
The leader, Mushroom, looked around and then his eyes fell on Shi Li: "Mushroom, you little thief Shi Li, come and fight me!"
Straw Man: "Do you dare to fight, straw!"
Ah Qing: "Jianzi, do you dare to fight?"
The other two guys followed suit.
"..., can you speak human language?"
Shi Li looked at them and pointed out Ah Qing's typo: "If I remember , it should be 'Shuzi' instead of 'Jianzi'."
"I'm sorry, I can't get my accent right away."
Mushroom scratched his head.
“You’ve grown a beard.”
Shi Li looked at the other person carefully.
"No, it's just moldy."
When Mushroom wiped his face, the beard disappeared.
Soon, its temperament quickly returned to its original silly look.
I just came out of a dungeon and need to rest and sort out some things.
After an hour's rest, everyone gathered around the dinner table.
Then, Moshi Mushroom, as a representative, told Shi Li about their experiences in this copy over the past year.
It was completely different from what Shi Li had imagined. These three guys in the dungeon were not all armed and powerful, charging into battle every day.
On the contrary, they did not join the army, but went to farm!
He planted the fields for a year and then returned having completed his mission.
By the way, I also received a chain quest, and I will continue to go to that copy next time.
"You guys are really capable of changing the world through agriculture."
As for how the Slime died in just three days, Shi Li did not ask.
There are a thousand ways for a slime to die, but no one is interested.
"Well, want to play a game?"
After telling these things, Mosaichu proposed again.
Look at its expression, it seems eager to try.
"Oh? Are you sure you want to challenge me?"
Shi Li raised his eyebrows.
He had experienced the card skills of these guys.
If we have to rank them, the straw man would undoubtedly be placed at the bottom.
Straw Man: Grass!
Then Mosaichou and Ah Qing are listed side by side.
Because Slime has been trained by me, it is the best card player among them.
But the actual battle record is that Ah Qing is first, and Slime and Mushroom are second.
After all, playing cards is not only about card skills, but also about the strength of the deck.
But no matter how they are arranged, they are far from themselves.
Normally they just entertain themselves and rarely let him join in.
"That's right, let me show you my new ship deck, mushroom!"
"It's brand new, not ship new. What kind of scumbag are you?"
Shi Li complained while putting away the card table.
Of course he couldn't let a mushroom man ride on his head.
What's more, don't I have a new deck?
"Wow, let me see what cards you drew!"
"Do you have confidence, little mushroom?"
"It's boring, shit."
Among them, Slime and Ah Qing were very interested in the source of Mushroom's confidence.
After all, everyone was separate when drawing cards, so we didn’t know what we got.
"bring it on."
In a blink of an eye, Shi Li had already laid out his cards.
We are all family, so there is no need to set up any barriers.
"Open your eyes and watch carefully! Mushroom!"
Mushroom also quickly arranged the deck and reached out to uncover it.
They were playing 6+1 in this round, and the table was a bit long.
So it could only lie on the edge of the table, with its feet off the ground but still unable to reach the first row of cards.
"...Why don't you stand on the table?"
Shi Li felt sorry for it.
"Mushroom, humph, I don't need you to teach me!"
Mushroom jumped up.
Once you sit at the poker table, the person opposite you is your enemy, and it implements this principle very well.
At this time, it bent down, picked up its three first-row cards in succession and turned them over.
Then, three projections popped out from the card almost at the same time.
[No need to be born in the same year, same month, same day! 】
[I only wish to die on the same day of the same month of the same year! ]
[Me too! ]
【Mushroom! 】x3
Shi Li: “…”
Shi Li: “…”
Shi Li: “…”
"Didn't you say...you were just farming?"
He looked at the three projections and then at the mushrooms.
If I just farmed, why would I be able to draw these three cards? !
"Yes, these are the guys from our village!"
Mosaichou pointed at the three cards and spoke with confidence.
"Indeed, they are faces often seen in the village, all small traders and vendors."
Ah Qing held up the sign to explain it.
"Selling straw sandals, selling red dates, selling pork, grass!"
The straw man even pointed out the occupations of these three guys.
Among them, it gets along the least with the man selling straw sandals, and they always fight each other when they meet.
"Why don't you... read more extracurricular books..."
Shi Li was speechless and covered his face with his hands. "And the key is that they have all turned into mushroom people, why can you still recognize them?"
But it has to be said that even after turning into mushroom people, these three guys still retained some obvious characteristics.
The mushroom man selling straw sandals has a mustache.
He has a pair of hands that are very long compared to a mushroom man, and he holds a pair of swords.
Then the one selling red dates had a red face and looked like he was angry.
He has a beard that reaches his chest (although mushroom men don't have chests) and holds a large Guandao in one hand.
The last one selling pork had a dark face and a beard .
He looked big and strong, holding a long snake spear.
Let’s take a look at their cards.
【Liu Dagu】
Balanced, 30 points, C
Attack 30, 300/300
[Sworn Brotherhood - Passive]: Liu Dagu shares health with Guan Ergu and Zhang Sangu
[Ren De - Passive]: When Liu Da Mushroom performs [Defense], he can block damage for himself, Guan Er Mushroom and Zhang San Mushroom.
【Guan Er Mushroom】
Break, 30 points, C
Attack 30, 300/300, 0/2
[Sworn Brotherhood - Passive]: Guan Ergu shares health with Liu Dagu and Zhang Sangu
[Single Rider - 2 Energy]: Guan Er Mushroom deals 40 damage to the target. If there are no other Breaking Cards in the deck, an additional 20 damage will be added.
【Zhang Sangu】
Wisdom, 30 points, C
Attack 30, 300/300, 2/2
[Sworn Brotherhood - Passive]: Zhang Sangu shares health with Liu Dagu and Guan Ergu
[Roar - 1 Energy]: Zhang Sangu roars loudly, and gains +10 attack power and [Penetrate] for the next 2 turns.
(【Penetrate】: When attacking a target, cause equal damage to 1 adjacent target behind it)
"Are you so lucky... to get a deck like this?"
After Shi Li finished looking through the cards, he was stunned.
Let’s not complain about why the third brother is the wise type.
But these three decks are really top-notch.
To be precise, it is the best when three cards are put together.
If you take one of them alone, it can only be considered averagely strong.
Even without the second and third brothers, the eldest brother is like a blank slate.
However, under the premise of sharing health points, their skills become stronger.
One survival-oriented + two output-oriented, very powerful configuration.
In a sense, they can be considered as an A-level giant card.
And if you can rub them well and upgrade them all to B grade, that would be even more amazing.
It is equivalent to a giant card with 7 skills and occupies 3 grids.
S-level cards don’t have that many attributes.
Put it in the PVE game, it's simply awesome.
It’s just…it’s a pity that a good card turned into a mushroom card.
"I don't know, hahahaha, I just drew a card that contained these four cards."
Mosaichu said he didn't know why he was so lucky.
"That's just a burst of luck."
Shi Li felt envious when he heard this.
The composite cards that I drew were all filled with evil spirits, resentment, and the like.
Look at others, oh no, don't do that, 3 top quality Cs...
"Hmm? You said 4?"
"Yeah, so it's not over yet!"
Mushroom hasn't stopped yet.
It walked to the scene card and flipped it open with both hands.
【Squeaky～】xN
A scene with birds singing and flowers blooming emerged on its half of the card table.
Slender mushrooms that look like trees grew out rapidly.
【Mushroom Garden Oath】
Scene, D
[Mushroom Flower Blooms]: Your Three Kingdoms card receives 10 points of [Healing] each round.
The effect of this card is similar to [A Hundred Demons Night Parade].
However, since the audience is smaller, the amount of treatment is greater, which is understandable.
Its appearance directly made up for the shortcomings of the three mushroom brothers - no means of recovery.
With 300 HP, it can provide [Defense] throughout the whole process and gain 30 points of [Healing] per round.
Such a deck will really give the opponent a headache.
So it took Shi Liduo several rounds to kill Mushroom.
That’s right, you think you can stop him with just this little top-notch deck?
"How about you guys? Did you draw such a powerful deck as well?"
After closing the card table, he looked at Ah Qing and the straw man.
Although Mosai Mushroom did not release any Three Kingdoms cards except these four cards.
But he felt that if Ah Qing didn't draw a card of similar level, it would have to give up its first place to Mosaichu.
"I have one too, damn!"
When the straw man heard what he said, he immediately took out a few cards.
[Burning Straw Sandals][Burning Straw Sandals][Burning Straw Sandals] and so on, all are E-level brands.
“…”
Shi Li simply chose to ignore it.
"I didn't draw any good cards."
Ah Qing held up the sign, wiped off the writing and then wrote: "But I stole some material cards, do you want them?"
"Good fellow, are you a material supplier now?"
Shi Li was stunned: "And this can't be called stealing, how can you discredit yourself?"
Ah Qing couldn't really bring the things out of the copy, he just extracted their projections in the process of bringing them back.
Shi Li had also considered this.
The next time he goes to the copy of the demon world, he will have to ask Ah Qing to help him get a piece of Sword Soul Wood back.
I gave my original one to [Sword Dancer].
He had inquired about the Sword Soul Wood during his second trip to the dungeon. It was actually not a very rare thing among the Wood Demon Clan.
What is truly rare is the Sword Soul Wood that contains a sword spirit.
White wood is not too hard to find.
As Ah Qing took out a dozen material cards, Shi Li took them and checked them one by one. They were all E-level.
Judging from the names and projections, they are all small items that are light and easy to carry, and there is also a strange thing like [a beard of Guan Erge] mixed in among them.
"Keep up the good work. I don't want the card this time."
After browsing, Shi Li didn't find any good stuff.
I looked at the time and it was almost time for my appointment with Director Xiu.
So he said goodbye to everyone and went out.
…
Show card hall, curator's office.
"How was it, did you gain anything from this [Wind Chasing] journey?"
Looking at her cousin sitting on the sofa, Secretary He asked with a smile.
"It's OK. Opening up new land is always difficult."
"The harvest is quite significant."
Director Xiu opened a can of Raccoon beer and gulped down a few gulps.
“Ha…～”
Then she burped and seemed very relieved.
It seems that Director Xiu is in a good mood.
After all, this is the [Way of Chasing the Wind] that I have been looking forward to for a long time, and this is my first time entering it.
As a LV35 player, she drew rewards from small levels as many as 7 times.
Then, because 7 settlements are made at one time, the player's talent [Collector] can be triggered, and 2 additional draws can be made.
It can be said that he was completely addicted.
Just for one level, you can get 90 + 6 card drawing opportunities.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, at least the huge base is there.
Once the number increases, there will always be good cards in it.
This is why the Xiu family has so many simulated decks.
“It’s really enviable.”
Secretary He expressed jealousy over this.
"By the way, I heard from Xiaoshi that he also wants to enter the [Wind Chasing Way]."
"It seems like you two can compete on progress."
He suddenly remembered something.
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Director Xiu suddenly smiled.
"I know you think highly of him, and so do I."
"But comparing me to him is really disparaging."
She said so.
"Indeed, as a veteran player you definitely have more experience than him."
"Hey, who are you calling old? You deserve a beating, right? I'm always 18 years old!"
While the two were talking, Shi Li pushed the door and walked in.
"You've come just in time!"
As soon as Director Xiu saw him, he jumped up from the sofa: "Take out your [Wind Chasing] crystal!"
"?"
Shi Li didn't understand why, but he did it anyway.
"I'll count to three, two, one, and let's show you our progress together!"
Director Xiu also took out his own copy crystal.
Even though she said she wouldn't PK, she was actually very honest in her actions.
"???"
"Three, two, one!"
Buzz! x2
[Three Levels Four] VS [Three Levels Nine]
"Oh my god~!" x2
"???"
Seeing Secretary He and Director Xiu exclaiming at the same time, Shi Li tilted his head.
"Damn it, he tricked me!"
Secretary He said this on the surface, but in his heart he was very relieved that he had not entrusted his trust to the wrong person.
The two of them were exploring the new land at the same time, but Shi Li was actually 5 levels ahead of Xiu Wushuang.
From this progress it can be seen that Xiu Wushuang is obviously stuck at the 5th level elite, while Shi Li is not.
"Tell me how you play!"
Director Xiu was not convinced and pulled Shi Li to the sofa.
That posture was a bit like that of a villain about to bully a little girl.
"Uh, what are you doing?"
Shi Li was somewhat dissatisfied.
I wanted to pay back the money quickly and go to the library to play cards.
