Chapter 266: Fairy Palace in the Clouds
Judging from the surrounding environment, the place where Shi was standing at this time should be the bathroom.
But it's very clean here and there is no strange smell.
The first monster was not far away from him.
The lid of the white toilet in front of him was open, and a bald head stuck out from inside, looking down at him condescendingly.
"this……"
Shi Li was speechless for a moment.
call out!
Before he could really react, a laser shot from the opposite eye hit him.
The laser attack did not cause any damage to Shi Li, but it triggered the game.
Unexpectedly, this is actually a monster that will actively attack.
Buzz!
The blue light descended and the card table was spread out.
He didn't know what kind of monster this time would be, but he had the initial capital, so he directly chose a set of [Balanced Co-Life] with 6 balanced inscriptions to go out.
So I didn't plan to bring a treatment card.
Just go for the pure output deck of [Time-Devouring Anemone].
Quick victory.
Whoosh! x6
As soon as the deck was laid out, streams of light suddenly floated in from the 3x2 card grids on the opposite side.
All 6 cards are the same, with a projection of a toilet head with only one human head.
"Do you want to do this?"
After browsing the cards, Shi Li complained.
【Toilet Man】
Listen to the wind, attack 30, 300/30 0, 0/1
[Cyclops - 1 Energy]: Toilet Man launches an attack with the [Full Penetration] effect
(【Full Penetration】: When attacking, causes equal damage to all targets behind it)
To be honest, things like toilet people are really funny.
But to be honest, this skill mechanism is really strong.
If I had had a [Full Penetration] when I was playing that vertical 6+1 alien game in Kuang Kuang City, wouldn't I be invincible?
It is also very powerful now, and its AOE is quite effective against [Balanced Life].
"A card with 30 attack points, and a [Full Penetration] on my side row will do 90 damage."
"If you hit my middle column with [Full Penetration], it will deal 120 points of damage."
"The opponent has 6 cards. Even if they all hit the side column, that 's 540 points of damage."
"The total HP of my deck is only 1100, damn."
"Wouldn't it be that the two-shot skill is almost gone?"
But he knew that this was not actually the case.
Because no matter whether it is [Penetration], [Diffusion] or [Full Penetration], as long as you prevent their damage starting points, you can greatly reduce the damage.
To put it more bluntly, the first card that is [Fully Penetrated] just needs to [Defend].
It can immediately reduce the opponent's AOE damage by half.
Then the cards in the second and last rows also perform [Defense], which means the damage is only 25% + 12.5%.
The cards on the opposite side are small monsters, and they don't have much intelligence. You just need to collectively [defend] when they release their skills.
There is no time limit, so I was quite relaxed while playing this PVE game.
It took me about ten minutes to slowly finish all six pictures of [Toilet People] by hand.
"It seems that [Balanced Life] is not as useful as I thought. It is not suitable for this first level at all."
Looking at his low health deck, Shi Li shook his head helplessly.
Moreover, in this entire level, all the monster cards are toilet people, with a total of 3 waves.
When the portal appears, the prompt also comes.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Please select the following rewards after passing level 0]
[1. Select 1 card from this level, strength D]
[2. Select 1 card from the unknown deck, with a strength of E to C]
"The toilet man is ugly and has a weird name."
"But I still have the first chance to get [Full Penetration], so I can't miss it."
"Let's try option 1 first."
Soon, the monster cards for this level were presented to him.
Only one.
【Toilet Man】
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Cyclops - 2 Energy]: Toilet Man launches an attack with the [Full Penetration] effect
(【Full Penetration】: When attacking, causes equal damage to all targets behind it)
"Wow, surprisingly it's okay."
As a D-level wind-listening card, Shi Li felt that this thing was already very strong.
Putting aside the existence of the ace, with 2 points of Listening to the Wind energy, a theoretical value of 90 points of damage can be dealt in 3 rounds.
However, the weakness of [Full Penetration] is that if the foreign card [Defense] is used, the damage will be greatly reduced.
In addition, we cannot ignore the trump card.
If you hit the column where the opponent's trump card is located, you will help the opponent reveal his card.
"But the value is definitely there, and it's not low."
Shi Li selected it.
There were 3 first-pass rewards in total, and I got monster cards in all of them.
And preview the decomposition results.
Fortunately, all three pictures produced the same D-level material.
You have to know that those anemones in the zero level cannot be decomposed into anything.
[Cyclops]: There is a very small chance that the Wind-Listening Card will gain the [Full Penetration] skill
"It actually requires that it can only be a wind-listening card, and the probability is extremely small."
"But if I take it to an underground exchange, I think I can probably sell it for several thousand or even ten thousand cubic coins."
Shi Li was just talking, it was impossible to sell it.
After all, this is [Full Penetration], so rare.
He then continued to attack all the way, and finally it took him 10 chances to defeat the BOSS of the 10th level. He had to admit that this first level was more difficult than the zeroth level.
Especially in the first few levels, even with the help and hints from the Wind Chaser in the 9th level, it was useless.
Because after looking at her own configuration, she could only shake her head and say one sentence: "There is no hope at all."
It was not until the 9th trip that Shi Li finally understood the BOSS's skills and pieced together a complete set of configurations and decks that he knew would be able to defeat it without even needing the Wind Chaser's evaluation.
Overall, I didn't gain much in terms of monster cards in this level.
Along the way, Shi Li also encountered many strange things such as surveillance people, refrigerator people, TV people, etc.
The cards of these monsters are really not that good and not attractive at all.
[Toilet Man] didn't show up again, and I couldn't even get more pictures.
The BOSS is a butler robot with a total of 4 stages.
This robot upgraded from its initial cleaning mode to a home protection bodyguard mode, then to a fighting mode, and finally to a war mode where its entire body is covered in weapons.
The skill mechanisms and styles of each stage are very different.
Therefore, in order to find out the details of the four stages, Shi Licai spent so many opportunities.
In the end, the cards of the BOSS in this level did not quite meet Shi Li’s requirements.
To put it bluntly, the four stages are just four useless cards, which have been revised too badly.
To this, he said it was okay.
Occasionally, you will encounter some levels where the card quality is not high or not what the players want.
There was no good harvest from the subsequent ten thousand card pool.
There were a few Steadfast Sword cards released, but they were all D~C grade, not even a B grade one.
Having learned from the last lesson, I didn't dare to choose too many movement cards. I carefully selected two, but the result was still the same, both were explosions.
This made Shi Li more convinced of his guess. Perhaps only the Mobile Immortal Card could be better compatible with the [Flying Sword Immortal].
"Although the card gains were not good, the initial capital was quite abundant."
Thanks to his thorough understanding of the strategy, he was able to defeat the BOSS at the lowest cost by selecting only a few core inscriptions. He did not need to strengthen the character or buy too many things in the initial store.
This led to him saving up quite a lot of wind-listening points and bringing them into the second level.
"That's awesome! Nearly a thousand points for listening to the wind, plus 24 dungeon opportunities."
If the second stage also goes well, there’s a feeling that this trip will break the record.
His current highest record in the Seven Paths is the [Three Levels and Nine] of the [Path of Chasing the Wind].
"Let's do a set of [Balanced Life] first, and see what the style of the second level is."
After clicking on six cheap and relatively useful Inscriptions of Balance, he walked into the portal.
Buzz!
As soon as my feet touched the ground, I looked around.
"Good place, this one might be a sure win."
As far as you can see, all you can see is the boundless blue sky.
Under your feet is a land made up of clouds of special texture.
A thin white mist, like fog, spread over the ground.
He had encountered a level of similar style before.
That was the style of the first major level when he first entered the Seven Paths, namely the [Path of Balance].
Fairy Palace in the Clouds level.
At that time, the entire map was located in the Fairy Palace in the Clouds, and the monsters were various demon beasts or fairy monsters.
The BOSS is an old man who makes elixirs, [Poison Immortal].
The effect of [Poison] is extremely powerful.
Finally, he relied on the 15th inscription effect of [Power of Listening to the Wind]
[Meditation Rule]: All your cards gain 10 points of [Healing] + [Purification] each round.
Just called.
"If I'm not mistaken, the monster in this place should be a fairy card, and it must be a wind-listening monster."
"[Flying Sword Immortal] might actually have a chance to encounter suitable materials."
"Let's go and take a look."
There are currently no buildings visible on this small map.
It was all white and I couldn't see where the monster was.
There was only a road formed faintly by the fairy air on the ground, guiding the direction.
[Wait! Who is coming? ]
He had only taken a few steps when a person jumped out from the clouds.
The other party was wearing white armor and holding a Guandao.
The armor is of simple style and is carved with cloud-like patterns.
No wonder I didn’t notice it before, this armor has good concealment in the cloud environment.
Shi Li felt that this guy's outfit was somewhat familiar, as Huichun's previous photo of [Upper Heavenly Soldier] was of a similar appearance.
"I……"
【I don’t care who you are! 】
"Didn't you ask that yourself?"
While he was complaining, the opponent's big Guandao chopped over.
The movement was so swift that it was impossible to avoid it.
Buzz!
Then a blue beam of light descended and the card table was spread out.
Considering the overall strength, this time Shi Li used a full Kung Fu deck, combined with [Wulin].
Whoosh! x3
On the opposite side, three cards appeared in a row in front of him.
They all look like the same heavenly soldiers and have the same cards.
When you reach the second level, the monsters have started to show 2 entries.
【Heavenly Guardians】
Listen to the wind, attack 30, 500/500, 0/2
[Cloud Armor - Passive]: In the rounds when the Guardian's energy is not full, the damage received is -20
[Cloud Capture Technique - 2 Energy]: Guardian Heavenly Soldier locks onto 1 target. If the opponent does not [Move], they will receive 500 points of damage in the next round, ignoring [Defense].
"Are you kidding me?!"
When he saw the cards, Shi Li was dumbfounded.
This monster card is too fucking exaggerated.
500 points of damage, what card can withstand it? Even the [Tree Giant] can’t withstand it.
The key is that I have activated [Balanced Life].
If it was just single-target damage, it would be fine. 500 points, at most it would overflow.
However, under the [Balanced Fate], these 500 points cannot overflow!
So 3 minutes later, he returned to the pure white space depressed.
"I'm speechless. I finally encountered the level of listening to the wind that I expected."
Sitting down, he prepared to rearrange the deck.
The monster/BOSS styles often have something in common.
The most typical ones are the previous Kung Fu Tower and the Death Sea in the zero level this time.
So he guessed that the best solution to this second level would be to move the cards.
The [Cloud Capturing Technique] of the [Guardian Heavenly Soldier] just now is actually not difficult to crack. It can be resolved by just [Moving] once in the current round when it releases the skill or in the next round.
"That means I must choose [Wind Chaser] for this level."
"Then you need to play as many [Move] cards as possible."
"But here comes the problem. If we put more [Move] cards on the board, we will need enough slots."
"Fortunately, this is the Seven Paths, not the outside world."
Having said that, he thankfully opened the shop panel.
Previously in the [Event] level of [The Way of Chasing the Wind], he actually collected a spell card that was very useful for the current situation.
[Golden Hoe of the Pioneer]: Get an extra row of empty card slots that cannot be used to place cards
He has experimented with this card before, and it can be said that it is specially designed for use with mobile tactics that are difficult to implement outside.
It will add an extra row of cards on top of the original first row, making the table 3x4+1.
The newly added empty slots cannot have cards placed on them when the cards are laid out, but cards can be moved onto them after the game starts.
"Although spell cards require 180 Wind Listening Points to purchase, now is not the time to be reluctant."
Having said that, Shi Li completed the exchange.
Then he began to sort out his deck and began to arrange it.
The [Movement] cards that I can currently use are [Flying Sword Immortal], [Crow Man], and [Yoga Frog].
The skill of [Guardian Cloud Soldiers] can only be used on foreign cards, so your first row of cards must be [Flying Sword Immortal] + [Crow Man] + any Kung Fu card.
And it’s important to note that these three cards aren’t just meant to be removed.
After they offset the [Cloud Capture Technique], they have to move back to offset the second [Cloud Capture Technique].
Repeat this process until the battle ends.
This will involve the issue of energy recovery.
[Flying Sword Immortal] is naturally no problem, it can fly anywhere without any problem.
[Raven Man] is also okay. [Guardian of the Way]'s skill is fully charged in 2 turns, and its [Wind of the Walker] is also fully charged in 2 turns.
It's the [Yoga Frog] here, which is a little troublesome. It is a wisdom card and can only move the card 3 times.
Just going back and forth, it has already used up twice, there is no endurance at all.
Therefore, it must be paired with [Dandelion Valley], and let [Yoga Frog] also serve as a wild card, restoring its own energy when [moving].
Even with [Dandelion Valley], it is not enough to consume the energy of [Yoga Frog], so we need to put another [A-39] on it to help it continue to recover energy.
"Choose another [Power of Chasing Wind], and buy 6 1-star ones to make up the [Son of Wind] effect of Chasing Wind 6 Inscription. The health and endurance will be pretty good too."
After finishing these, Shi Li walked into the portal again.
Buzz!
When he appeared in the cloud again, he walked directly towards the place where he had encountered the monster just now.
[Wait a minute, who is coming? ]
Shi Li: “…”
[If you don't speak, I'll shoot you! ]
Shi Li: “…”
Shi Li: “…”
Shi Li: “…”
Buzz!
The card table was immediately set up.
After 10 minutes, the table calmed down.
"Easy."
Shi Li felt that the tactics he formulated were simply perfect.
As expected, the next two waves of monsters contained [Guardian Heavenly Soldiers] mixed in.
Relying on the tactic of moving the first row of cards three times, he won it smoothly.
As the portal appears, a prompt also appears.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Please select the following reward after passing level 2 and level 1]
[1. Select 1 card from this level, strength D]
[2. Select 1 card from the unknown deck, with a strength of E to C]
"How stingy! This is already the second level, and they still only give me D rank."
"I choose 1."
No need to hesitate, the Tianbing should be a good card, and the others should not be bad either.
【Heavenly Guardians】
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/4
[Cloud Armor - Passive]: In the rounds when the Guardian's energy is not full, the damage received is -5
"Uh... this is an over-correction."
However, when I saw this card, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The card values have been weakened in all aspects, and the most important thing is that even the active skills have been corrected and eliminated.
There is no point in taking a card like this.
The only thing to be thankful for is that [Guardian of Heaven] does have the immortal brand label.
It seems that the probability of fairy cards appearing in this level later will be very high, so it is worth looking forward to.
There are two types of monsters in this second level.
One kind is naturally the heavenly soldiers.
The other type is a dog-like monster that looks like a white cloud. It is very large and looks very brave.
【Cloud Guard Dog】
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/4
[White Cloud Guardian - Passive]: When the Cloud Guardian Dog's energy is fully charged, it will actively help its companions to bear damage.
"This [Cloud Guard Dog] is much stronger than the [Heavenly Guardian]."
"It's a bit of a pity that it only has a monster brand label, not a fairy brand label."
After comparison, Shi Li picked out a [Cloud Guard Dog].
The passive effect of this card is somewhat difficult to implement on the Wind-Listening card.
For the first row of cards, 4 rounds of static charging are required.
Before it was fully charged, he was killed by the enemy.
However, if it is placed in the second row of cards, it can be used barely.
By sacrificing 4 rounds of output and then performing [Defense], you can help your fellow cards withstand a lot of damage.
It's a mixed bag.
Collect it first, and see if there is a chance to use it as a material card, and add the skills to other main cards.
