"Awesome! This is a dungeon where monsters drop items instantly!"
Huichun cheered immediately.
"Look, I got this card!"
He didn't know that Shi Li also had it, and he showed it to the other party.
【獠馬】
Wither, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Carnivore - Talent]: After each attack, the steed gains 15 points of [Healing]
(This card can only be used in this world)
"Oh, bad luck."
While showing it, Huichun also discovered the final clue.
It turns out that the things that dropped can only be owned and used here.
This [獠馬] doesn't even have any points or entry slots, it's almost equivalent to an ordinary D-level card out there.
"I……"
Shi Li looked at the cards displayed by the other party.
In fact, he got it.
And there are not just one, but two.
One is the [獠馬] in Huichun's hand, and the other is...
So he took out the other one and showed it to the other person.
【獠馬】
Wither, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Carnivore - Passive]: After each attack, the steed gains 15 points of [Healing]
"Um?!"
Huichun found the problem immediately after taking a look.
This is a reality card!
There is no indication that it can only be kept here for use, so it is the kind that can be taken away.
“That’s not fair!”
After reading it carefully twice, he blurted it out.
It's actually okay to put the alien cards in the copy.
After all, the whole world is like this.
But it’s different in the cubic card metaverse.
A card that is independent of the seven major categories is of great significance just for this reason, regardless of whether it is a useless card or not!
“Maybe it means it’s a random drop.”
Shi Li spread his hands, indicating that he was not quite sure either.
" In theory , then we don't have to do anything else."
"Just finding some rare and exotic animals to play PVE with can you take away a bunch of cards?"
"What's the point of training? Let other managers save the world!"
Huichun snapped his fingers and thought he had figured it out.
"If you don't do your job well, I'll fire you later."
Shi Li was not as short-sighted as him.
"Think about it, since the alien cards are said to be the source of the disturbance in this world."
"Then won't we encounter powerful cards while searching for and eradicating the root cause?"
"Logically speaking, those enemies are definitely stronger than wild animals like you."
"Collecting while following the main story is the right way, idiot."
Huichun: "Ahaha, it seems like what you said is right."
After hearing what he said, Huichun smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head.
"We have too little information right now, so let's start by understanding this world."
So Shi Li pulled him and continued on the road.
With their walking speed, 5 kilometers wouldn't take too long.
Soon, a small town appeared before our eyes.
This is a human town in the ancient Chinese style.
Old but clean streets, orderly pedestrians and carriages, and children playing on the streets.
Every place exudes the feeling of living and working in peace and contentment.
As for human races, there are humans, monsters, and half-human and half-monster people.
Therefore, Huichun's green hair is not noticeable, let alone that of Shi Li who is a pure human.
This time, the Pure White Space was quite thoughtful and provided them with local clothes and money in advance.
"If we want to understand this world, we have to find out bit by bit."
"Let's find a place to stay first."
Shi Li suggested.
So don't worry about these basic conditions.
Soon, the two found an inn.
It was lunch time, so they ordered some dishes and sat down downstairs in the inn.
As for the food, it is actually no different from usual.
But perhaps due to their physical constitution and customs, they found that people here seemed to love drinking.
There was no ordinary water on the dining table, even the tea was tea wine.
After taking a small sip of the tea wine, the two of them felt so spicy that they were at a loss. It was so strong.
In the end, they had to ask the waiter to bring them a large pot of water, and only then did they finally wash off the lingering taste in their mouths.
"It seems a bit embarrassing. We are the only table around that drinks water."
Putting down the cup he had just finished drinking, Huichun looked around.
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry about other people's eyes."
“And you think people are paying attention, but often no one is watching.”
Shi Li took a bite of food.
Just then, a quarrel suddenly broke out at the next table.
"What are you looking at!"
"What are you looking at?"
This sounds like a typical opening move.
"Touch me if you can!"
"I won't! Touch me if you dare!"
"Touch me and you're dead, you coward!"
Following the sound, I saw two men dressed as farmers.
The two of them were sitting at different tables. It was clear that they were about to start the fight, but the other companions at the table had expressions of watching the fun.
"Do you really think I don't dare?"
"You wouldn't dare to bet on that!"
"Then come on!"
"Come on!"
Seeing the two of them getting more and more intense, even the waiter came over to watch.
But what puzzled Shi Li was that if the other party really started fighting, they might smash some tables, chairs, benches and the like.
Why didn't even the waiter show any intention of stopping it?
As the quarrel intensified, Shi Li and Hui Chun saw the two men rolling up their sleeves and taking a few steps back.
Buzz!
What was unexpected was that the two of them actually set up a blue light card table in the middle.
"Hmm?" x2
Shi Li and Hui Chun were both stunned.
"Oh my god, I forgot."
It was only at this time that Hui Chun reacted: "It was introduced on the panel before. This is also a world where playing cards is respected."
Shi Li: "Come to think of it, even encountering an attack by a wild beast is a game of cards."
"Why wouldn't people in this world play cards?"
Then, they saw the two of them took out 2+1 decks respectively.
And the card is not a good one, it is just a D-level card with only one [Talent].
After a few simple rounds, the winner was decided.
The winner, of course, will show off his power.
The losing party can only say a few harsh words and leave angrily.
This little farce died down without causing any waves. Shi Li and Hui Chun now understood why everyone else was just watching the fun.
After dinner, the two decided to stroll around the town.
As a result, he had only taken two steps when he was bumped into by a young girl.
"Ouch!"
The girl crashed into Shi Li's arms, but it was she who cried out in pain.
"S-Sorry!"
"fine."
She apologized and ran away.
"It's strange. Look at this street."
At this time, Huichun discovered that in addition to this girl, there were some other people who were also walking hurriedly in one direction.
Including the young girl, they all looked to be around 18 years old.
"Let's go and take a look."
Shi Li intuitively felt that something might happen.
So the two of them followed that direction and came to the ancestral hall in the town.
There were two men guarding the gate of the ancestral hall and no one was allowed in without permission.
But perhaps because Shi Li and Hui Chun were about the same age, he did not stop them.
They walked in smoothly.
It was discovered that dozens of young boys and girls had surrounded the main hall of the ancestral hall.
And because I was close at this time, I could hear everyone's whispers.
"I heard that the mayor finally went to the city to invite the teachers from the academy back."
"Alas, teachers in the city hold high positions and are indeed busy people."
"Stop talking. Perform well later. I heard that if you can draw a good card, you might be noticed by the teacher and taken to the city to study."
"I'm 18 years old and can finally draw cards. I've been waiting for this day... for so long!"
"I wonder what kind of cards we'll draw. I hope they're not useless."
"If it's a useless card... then it's over. I can only follow my dad to farm in the future."
"I will definitely draw a good card and join the town's hunting guard!"
From these words, Shi Li and Hui Chun roughly understood what was going on.
It seems that people in this world can only become poker players after they are over 18 years old.
Just like when they first awakened their talent as poker players, they are also facing the first step in crossing the threshold.
That's card drawing.
At the same time, because cube cards cannot be traded, this also includes entries that cannot be traded.
For people in such remote towns, the type of card they draw basically determines their future.
Unlike the noble boys and girls in the city, even if they draw useless cards, there are people to help them, and they become stronger little by little through PVE games.
They drew a useless card and will only hold back the game, so no one will be willing to take them.
In fact, it is not a question of willingness or not, but leading others to play cards is a big test for both parties.
The leader must be strong enough to complete the game even with others lagging behind.
Otherwise, if you lose, the situation will be more serious.
In mild cases, you just need to rest for a few days, but in severe cases, your spirit will be severely damaged.
"Quiet, everyone, be quiet!"
After waiting for a while, an old lady with a cane walked out from the corridor in the hall.
As she knocked the ground with her cane, the entire ancestral hall suddenly became quiet .
This dignified and respected demeanor shows that he is an important figure in the town, probably the mayor they are talking about.
"Today is the day when the town opens the Awakening Stone once a year."
As soon as these words were spoken, the boys and girls around them began to breathe more nervously.
Behind the mayor, there was something covered with a red cloth.
It looks like a stone pillar.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the stone pillar, which was the awakening stone.
At the age of 18, he touched the stone and became a big shot.
The stone in this sentence refers to the awakening stone.
"To bear witness to everyone."
The mayor looked around at these young faces and continued, "I specially invited Teacher Su from the city."
As she finished her words, a figure walked out.
"Why don't you pay your respects to Teacher Su?"
"Hello, Teacher Su!"
In order not to stand out from the crowd, Shi Li and Hui Chun followed the crowd.
But their eyes met.
Restricted by the copy rules, the natives might not be able to see it, but they could see it clearly.
This is... a robot!
Only the head has bionic skin and human face, everything below the neck is machine.
The key is that through the manager function, the two can also see that the other party has a LV28 player level.
This can't be faked.
And it is obvious that the other party is not a manager.
In order to avoid not being able to recognize their colleagues, they all turned on the recognition function.
I believe other managers are the same.
Therefore , the poker player in front of him is most likely not the manager.
Then for a moment, the two of them exchanged glances.
Shi Li: A card player has arrived, what to say.
Huichun: There should be other players in this world coming to complete the mission.
Shi Li: Then just keep an eye on him and see if he makes any unusual moves.
Anyway, they don’t have any clues now, so just keep an eye out when you meet a card player.
On the other side, Teacher Su gave everyone a pretentious speech.
But in the eyes of Shi Li and the others, seeing a robot speaking in a very literary and slightly ancient style of words always felt very awkward.
Fortunately, the awakening ceremony finally began.
As the mayor pulled off the red cloth, the so-called awakening stone was completely revealed to everyone.
Buzz!
The invisible air vibrated, and those who were slightly weaker staggered twice on the spot.
The big rock in front of me looks ordinary, just an ordinary natural columnar stone.
The only thing worth noting is the big word "牌" painted with blue liquid on the surface of the stone.
As card players, Shi Li and Hui Chun could feel an indescribable yet familiar energy from it.
The energy fluctuation that can often be felt at the moment the card table is opened.
Then, under the arrangement of the mayor, a young girl was the first to walk out of the crowd.
Unexpectedly, it happened to be the person who bumped into Shi Li before.
"Don't be nervous, relax."
"Just touch the stone normally."
The mayor's voice was calm.
After being comforted, the girl's tension was slightly relieved.
She closed her eyes, slowly raised her hand and pressed it on the stone surface.
Boom boom...
In an instant, the big rock began to shake slightly.
The word "Card" turned into a blue light that flowed like liquid and gathered towards the girl's hand.
After a few seconds, the blue light left her palm and began to wriggle again, transforming into a new text.
【three】
"Power of Cards, Stage Three!"
The mayor announced loudly.
"..." x2
Shi Li and Hui Chun looked at each other again.
Huichun: What the hell is this? Why does it feel so awkward?
Shi Li: I have picked up my toes, do you want to see?
Huichun: Is the power of this card equivalent to our player level?
Shi Li: Not sure, let’s look further down.
Sure enough, the matter is not over yet.
The girl, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
"Mayor, I got 3 cards!"
As soon as she opened her palm, three cards immediately appeared on it.
【Little Pig】【Noisy Chicken】【Old Man by the River】
Three cards, all D-level cards.
"Very good, next one."
The mayor remained calm and took a quick look at the [Talents] of the three cards.
As for whether the cards are good or not, someone will tell her after she goes out.
There is no need to expose it here.
The girl actually didn’t know much about the Cube Cards. After receiving a “very good” response, she happily returned to the crowd.
There were some who were more knowledgeable present, but due to the need to maintain silence, they could only look at the situation with sympathy.
But it’s hard to say. Cards can be upgraded through acquired training. Maybe one day when they reach C-level, some amazing entries will appear.
Next, another ten people came forward and touched the awakening stone.
The mayor reported again and again.
Shi Li and Hui Chun now understood that the so-called power of cards was nothing more than a trick.
It just refers to how many cards the opponent can get when awakening.
Now that I have looked through them all, the most there are is only 5.
The minimum is 1.
With just 1 card, you can't even play the simplest game.
They don’t know how the situation will develop in the future, and this is not something they need to worry about.
What they are more concerned about is the robot teacher Su.
From the moment the first girl's card was revealed, Shi Li observed through her micro-expressions that there was always an expression of disdain on the other party's bionic skin face.
This situation finally changed when a young man appeared.
The boy's appearance was ordinary, and there was no sign that the mayor gave him any special treatment.
But as soon as his card appeared, it immediately shocked the whole audience.
No, one of the cards to be specific.
[Squeak!]
With the sound of a bird's horn, the card projection rushed out of the card.
This is a strange man with indigo skin, cinnabar hair, and bright eyes with a bird's beak.
He was holding a thick golden stick in his hand, which was circling back and forth in a small area above the card.
"Wow!"
This unique momentum today immediately made everyone exclaim in surprise.
Then, everyone's attention immediately turned to the cards.
【Lei Zhenzi】
Travel, 30 minutes, C
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Son of Thunder - Talent]: Every time Lei Zhenzi moves twice, he can [Stun] 1 target in the next round
[Big Wing - 1 Energy]: Lei Zhenzi [Moves] 1 square
"C-rank card! It's actually a C-rank card!"
Seeing this, the mayor finally couldn't keep calm anymore.
You have to know that I have presided over the awakening ceremony for so many years, and I haven't seen a C-level card for a long time.
Anyone who gets a C-level card upon awakening is a genius who will be able to leave the small town and make a career in the future!
Huichun: It’s just a C-grade card. Are they too excited?
Shi Li: Just think of it as drawing a C-level card in the novice copy. It’s easier to understand this way.
Shi Li: But it’s just…
"No! This card of his is not a legitimate card!"
"It's a bad card!"
However, at this moment, someone finally discovered the key point.
Evil cards seem to be what they call alien cards.
It is a challenge to the majesty of God and a blasphemy against God.
[Travel Card]: Whenever 1 square of displacement occurs on the field, 1 energy is restored
"this……!"
The mayor, who had just been overwhelmed by the surprise, now realized what was happening and was horrified: "It's ominous! This kid is ominous!"
The look on his face and the way he kept retreating showed that he was desperate to avoid it.
"Evil creature, why don't you surrender!"
At this moment, Teacher Su next to him rushed forward with a quick step.
