Chapter 52: Top-quality auxiliary cards
"Ga-ga-ga-ga, ga!"
"He also said he heard some gossip, saying that there were several people in that office building who were actually mutants."
"Ah? What kind of office gossip is this?"
【roar!!!】
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw the bald mayor's body suddenly swell.
The well-fitting suit was stretched into rags, and his skin turned a strange purple color due to congestion.
He was originally just an ordinary person, but now his height is nearly 3 meters.
"Hulk, damn."
"Anyway, it's much more reliable than it looked just now."
“Ga ga ga!”
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood just now."
Everyone was amazed, but Shi Li was the only one who was interested: "After the mutation... he's still bald."
However, the mutant mayor is summoned through the player's talent and does not seem to belong to the category of follower cards.
I saw him swinging his two muscular arms and running towards the rhino robot.
With a height of 3 meters, he still looks like an underage boy in front of the Rhino robot.
But sometimes size is not a criterion for combat effectiveness.
The two sides approached quickly, the mutant mayor lowered his knees slightly, and then jumped high into the air.
Looking at the posture, it seems that he wants to hit the opponent's head with his fist.
Whoosh! x2
But before he could throw a punch, the pair of rhino eyes on the rhino robot's chest shot out two red lasers, piercing him directly.
Plop!
The mutant mayor, who was thought to be very powerful, was defeated in just one encounter and fell to the ground like a sandbag.
"Uh..."
The continuous twists and turns made everyone not know how to complain.
"Let's prepare for the battle. We can rely on our minion cards."
Director Xiu was the first to come to his senses and said in a deep voice.
Everyone's expressions were stern, and they were ready to start commanding the follower cards.
"wrong."
But Shi Li soon discovered something was wrong.
The rhino robot had just stepped over the mutant mayor when its movements suddenly became a little stuck, as if... someone had grabbed its hind legs.
【? 】
It looked back suddenly and saw that it was true.
The mutant mayor, who was thought to be dead, was still alive and well , clinging tightly to its metal paw.
"It's Mondo, damn!"
"Why is this guy always making people go up and down?"
"Hurry up and give him the order to let the BOSS in so that we can focus our fire together!"
“Ga ga ga!”
"He said he couldn't control the summons."
"..., your talent as a card player is really unreliable."
While everyone was talking, the mutant mayor was knocked down by the BOSS again.
In a blink of an eye, the BOSS rushed to the defense line.
【Ahhh! 】
The giant zombie beast standing in front of the defense line leaned forward and rushed forward.
The BOSS swung his rhino horn right fist and hit it.
Although the giant zombie beast seemed clumsy, it was agile beyond its size and caught the attack with both hands.
【Ah, do-me~! 】
The Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit quickly jumped out from behind it and hit it with its nunchakus at lightning speed.
Bang, bang, bang!
Rhythmic knocking sounds were heard, and the BOSS's body paused noticeably.
【Where are you running to! 】
At this time, a purple figure jumped out from behind the BOSS. Unexpectedly, this mutant mayor was quite tough and did not die after suffering two fatal injuries.
The BOSS was clamped, and everyone at this moment tacitly coordinated to launch a general attack with the follower cards.
[All team members, charge! ]
【Tied up and whipped! 】
[Lock on...target...fire...]
【Mushroom da, mushroom da, mushroom da! 】
【Take my headbutt! 】
[Wind, listen to me~]
All kinds of attacks are thrown at the BOSS without any cost.
Even Cao Ren and Shi Li came down from the platform carrying their weapons. They were the few players who would join the battle themselves.
As a result, before anyone and grass could rush over, the BOSS suddenly spoke.
[Entering...defense...mode]
Bang bang, empty sound!
The metal parts on its body twisted and shifted again, and it suddenly changed from robot form to rhino form again.
Long!
An extremely strong wind pressure actually blew away the surrounding follower cards.
The heavy wall fragments that had fallen around also rolled away like waste paper boxes.
Bang! Bang!
Shi Li and the straw man were also blown backwards and hit the wall of the sentry post.
"The formation has been disrupted!"
"Oh no! It's coming this way!"
Director Xiu and Secretary He both exclaimed in surprise.
No one forgot that their real goal was to protect the core crystal.
【roar!】
However, at this time, the mutant mayor made another contribution.
When the boss was transforming, he grabbed the opponent's horn, so he was not blown away by the strong wind.
At this time, he used his hands and feet to entangle the opponent in a rogue-like posture.
The obstructed BOSS was unable to run a few steps before the rest of the followers, having recovered, rushed forward again.
【Ahhh! 】
【Ah, do-me~! 】
【Brother! 】
Various attacks came down again, and the metal shell of the BOSS had more and more dents and scars, and it seemed that it was already at the end of its strength.
"Let me finish it!"
Director Xiu saw that the time was right and directly fired the strongest attack from the double barrels.
Whoosh...Boom!
The energy beam directly penetrated the body of the giant zombie beast and also penetrated into the interior of the BOSS.
Finally, in the light of the explosion, the BOSS exploded on the spot.
The flames of the explosion engulfed the surrounding minion cards, taking them away and dispersing them in the form of blue light.
“Done!”
Director Xiu snapped his fingers.
It doesn't matter whether the followers survive or not, because they have already received the notification that their mission is over.
Prompts popped up one after another, and the countdown to refunding the capital began.
"It feels good."
Seeing that he had obtained 6 chances to draw cards, Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Gradually, everyone's bodies began to weaken.
When the countdown reached zero, his eyes blurred.
The lovely pure white space appears again.
[Instance completion - 100%]
[Getting experience points, calculating...]
[Congratulations, your level has been raised to LV5]
Prompts popped up one after another.
"Perfect, after the timer cools down, I can play the single-player dungeon."
He has not forgotten his championship reward in the Rising Star Comprehensive Competition.
[Please draw 6 cards as rewards for this copy]
Whoosh!
Cards popped out one after another, 500 in total.
“Is this the scale of the advanced copy?”
He felt that this was the time for him to really start working.
"It's a pity that my level is not LV10, so there will be no scene cards in the card pool."
With a slight regret, he reached out and pressed a card casually.
【Bang bang woof! 】
A projection of a mechanical dog jumped out from the card.
【Robotic Dog】
Chasing the Wind, 15 points, E
Attack 15, 100/100, 0/2
“It’s so useless.”
bite!
He flicked the card back.
I previewed dozens of cards in succession, and all of them were E-level blank monster cards.
There are a total of 10 bosses in this dungeon, big and small, and I only have 6 chances to draw cards.
He just didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to draw the BOSS card.
Those BOSS cards are at least D-level.
With this belief in mind, Shi Li continued to preview.
"Huh?"
When his fingertips touched the next【?】, he was stunned.
Is this ok?
According to his understanding, he didn't expect this card to appear.
I have to say, Uncle Tiao Tiao’s talent as a poker player is really something.
Because the card he previewed at this time was the [Mutated Mayor].
The projection on the card is the middle-aged bald man in a suit.
But the next second, he suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
[I don't want to...mutate! ]
With a scream of pain, the suit was torn apart by the arched back.
After a while, the tall purple mutant appeared.
“Good cards!”
Shi Li took a look and immediately gave his praise.
【Mutation Mayor】
Balanced, 30 points, C
Attack 15, 100/100
[Civil Service - Passive]: Mutated Mayor's Attack Power -15
[Desperate Mutation - Passive]: When the mutant mayor's health reaches 0, his attack power increases by 15, and he enters the [Stay] state for 1 round
(【Stay】: Does not accept any buff effects and will not exit)
"No wonder he couldn't be killed just now. It turns out that this guy's mutation has given him the physique of a real man."
Although it has a negative passive effect, this [Retention] is an extremely powerful effect.
It allows this card to stay on the table for one more round after being killed.
Many times, staying one more round can often have a miraculous effect.
However, during the turn of [Retention], it can no longer receive recovery effects such as [Treatment], because such effects are also considered gains.
Push this card forward and put it on the list as a candidate.
Continuing the preview, there are still many blank monsters.
"Whoa whoa!"
However, when he was about to preview the 200th picture, he made a new discovery.
【Enter...battle...mode! 】
[Entering...defense...mode! ]
In the card projection, the BOSS of the 100th wave was transforming back and forth.
【Rhino King】
Chasing the Wind, 30 points, C
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Shockwave - Passive]: When Rhino King transforms, it can cause a [Knockback] effect on up to 3 cards in the row in front of it.
[Change Form - 2 Energy]: Rhino King undergoes a meaningless transformation
(【Knockback】: If there is a space in the target's knockback direction, it will be forced to 【move】)
"A C-rank card, but its purpose is... unknown?"
Let’s not complain about the so-called “meaningless” deformation for now.
This was the first time he had seen the main [knockback] effect.
Judging from the projected animation demonstration, the target can only be [knocked back] when there is an empty space directly behind it.
The priority of [Move] is higher than [Attack] and [Treatment], which means that if you successfully [Knockback], you can interrupt the opponent's [Attack] and [Treatment].
But the problem is that it is difficult to create an empty space behind a card.
This is equivalent to skipping the first row of cards and attacking the opponent's second row of cards.
"Interesting. I'll keep this card as a backup."
However, Shi Li has always loved collecting these strange cards.
Didn’t he also accept the useless card like [Ghost Fire Boy] ?
"There are nearly 200 cards, but only two C-level cards have been previewed. This situation is not optimistic."
Seeing that there was only 2/3 left【?】, his heart was a little in suspense.
Whether the result is good or bad, we can only wait and see.
After touching about a dozen more pieces, I finally touched something different.
This card is very quiet.
Yes, it's very quiet.
Because it is actually a... material card.
"It's just C-grade material, not very valuable."
Just looking at the luster, Shi Li couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Now, unless it is B-grade material, it is difficult to impress him.
But when I looked at it carefully, I was delighted on the spot.
[Enhanced Tiefang Engine]: A powerful engine
The Iron Square refers to the iron box tanks from the 11th to 19th waves.
The enhanced version is obviously the group of small BOSSes in the 20th wave.
Those ten enhanced versions of the Iron Square were quite large in size, but they did have a very strong sense of speed when running.
If this type of engine is equipped on a [sprinkler truck], he can already foresee that the effect will be better than it is now.
Simply put, it is faster, more exciting and safer.
Mushrooms will definitely like it, yeah.
"The third alternative, no, it's a must."
He had actually already looked at all the Class B material engines at the association's specialty store.
There are only two, and they are incompatible with [Sprinkler] and cannot be merged.
You will definitely not lose money if you take this [Enhanced Iron Square Engine]. Even if you cannot fuse it, you can still sell it for a good price.
After all, engine material cards are relatively rare.
Of course, having said that, he did not draw it immediately just in case, but took it out separately and continued to preview it.
Then he discovered several new BOSS cards.
【Bang Bang Crab! 】
In the projection, a crab-like machine crawled out.
This is the mini-boss of the 30th wave, the giant mechanical crab.
I didn't expect this guy to have high armor and magic resistance, but it turns out to be a Breaking Card.
【Power Crab】
Break, 35 points, D
Attack 35, 100/100, 0/3
[Softening Light Wave - 3 Energy Points]: The Power Crab sprays out a light wave, causing the target to fall into the [Armor Break] state for 2 rounds
([Armor Break]: Each time you are attacked, an additional 3 points of damage will be inflicted)
Compared with Black Smoke's [Barbarian Shell Splitter], it can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The armor-breaking skill of [Barbarian Shell Splitter] causes collateral damage.
But the [Power Crab] does not have it, which is equivalent to wasting 35 points of attack power in one round.
And its armor-piercing effect (3 points) is weaker than the opponent's (5 points).
But the advantage is that this armor-breaking effect can last for 2 rounds.
[Armor Break] This effect is still very good, so it is listed as an alternative.
The other card is the small BOSS in the 50th wave.
This is a robot with tracks on the bottom and a cubic metal block on top.
There are three retractable fists in the place of its torso.
It's a bit like one of those crude boxing machines.
【Strike No. 18】
Listen to the Wind, 25 points, D
Attack 25, 100/100, 0/3
[Red Temperature - Passive]: Attacking No. 18 loses 1 energy point per round, attack power +15
Its passive skill is a bit contradictory.
It is difficult to restore energy for Wind-Listening cards, and they require complete stillness.
However, this card will consume its own energy to increase its attack power. If there is no energy to be consumed, the attack will not be increased.
So if you want to bring out the passive effect, it will form a cycle.
1 round of inactivity - output = 0
2 rounds of deduction of energy and attack - output = 40
3 rounds of stillness - output = 0
4 rounds of deduction of energy and attack - output = 40
On average, the output is 40 points in 2 rounds.
If that's the case, then why doesn't he let it perform normal attacks every round? At least it can still output 25 points per round.
However, this kind of strange card may play a miraculous role someday.
So keep it as an alternative.
The third BOSS card comes from the small BOSS in the 60th wave.
It is a group of small aircraft flying all over the sky.
The Afro died under their bombardment, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to deal with them.
But as cards, they aren't that powerful.
【Collective bee machine】
Balanced, 25 points, C
Attack 20, 100/100
[Coordination Deviation - Passive]: Collective Bee Machine Attack Power -5
[Instant Battle Damage - Passive]: For every 5 HP lost by the Collective Bee Machine, its attack power will be -1
A completely useless card. Both of its skills are negative. It's not worthy of being a C-grade card.
After turning over these three BOSS cards, there are less than a hundred cards left on the field that have not been previewed.
Shi Li no longer held out much hope.
Just like the [Wolf-Head Guardian] last time, it is normal that not all the ten waves of big and small bosses have entered the card pool.
"Um?"
However, the next card he previewed seemed like one he had never seen before.
[Ding ding ding! The system is operating normally...]
The projection is a small robot car, which is rectangular and flat in shape.
There is a solar panel on the top.
At the front of the car is something similar to a radio wave transmitter.
"Hiss, no wonder I didn't think of it for a while."
"This guy is not an enemy unit."
After carefully observing it for a while, he finally figured out where he had seen it before.
In a corner of the warehouse inside the outpost.
At that time, Sweeper No. 2 introduced that this should be a mobile backup energy source.
Let’s take a look at this guy’s cards.
【A-37】
Listen to the wind, 0 points, D
Attack 0, 100/100, 0/3
[Energy Recharge - 3 Energy]: A-37 restores 2 energy points for a card
"I dug up a zone, a god-level auxiliary card!"
After browsing the simple card surface, Shi Li's eyes lit up.
Because this card is actually a very rare active energy recovery card!
The key point is that from the literal meaning, its energy recovery is of all types.
In other words, except for the Balance and Rage types, everyone can receive [Energy Replenishment].
Especially for wisdom cards that have no means of energy recovery, this card is like a big daddy.
And it’s 0 points. Such an excellent card is actually 0 points.
Not to mention PVP games, at least in PVE games, this card is definitely very useful.
Required.
Must be listed as required.
This card can be said to be the biggest gain of this dungeon.
All of a sudden, his mood brightened up.
If there weren't 20 cards left to preview, he would have just drawn the cards and left.
But there was a surprise left for him in these last 20 cards.
【Bang bang woof! 】
A large six-legged mechanical dog jumped out of the card.
This is the mini-BOSS of the 10th wave.
【Six-legged Robot Hunter】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, D
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/3
[Self-Overload - Passive]: When the Six-legged Robot Hunter leaves the field, it causes true damage equal to its own score to the two unveiled targets.
"Look, what did I say?"
“Isn’t it coming?”
After looking at this card, only four words popped up in Shi Li's mind.
Will-o'-the-wisp boy ...…
He had a strong feeling that the two cards could be successfully fused.
So after previewing all the cards, the basic choices have emerged.
[Mutated Mayor] - C-level
[Rhino King] - C-rank
[Enhanced Tiefang Engine] - C-Class
[A-37] - D-Class
[Six-legged Robot Hunter] - D-rank
The above 5 cards are required.
There is still one chance to draw a card left, and he is hesitating between [Power Crab] and [Strike Eighteen].
If we look at it from a normal or purely strength-oriented perspective, [Strike No. 18] is a useless card, and everyone will choose [Power Crab].
But after seeing the [Barbarian Shell Splitter], Shi Li felt that this [Power Crab] was indeed not that strong.
[Armor Break] is effective, but it's not very rare.
What's more, there are more than just this one kind of beneficial damage effect.
As a person who likes mood, he finally decided to choose [Strike No. 18].
This kind of strange card may work wonders one day.
And precisely because of its weirdness, it might also become a good material card.
【Card selection completed】
【Please receive the Cube Coin reward】
As the card was drawn, a crystal-shaped cubic coin floated over.
"2704?"
When he saw this number, Shi Li was a little confused.
He thought that even if this copy was calculated at level 15, there shouldn't be that many cubic coins.
It’s almost five times the size of the Ancient Palace Prison.
But immediately, he remembered a guy he almost forgot.
Slime.
It should be that its player talent has taken effect.
[Mascot]: When the team completes the dungeon mission, they will receive additional cubic coins as rewards.
"This is more than just a mascot, it's a lucky cat."
He took the cubic coin and accepted it with a smile.
Buzz!
As the cubic coin was received, a beam of light descended and took him out of the copy.
"Coach Shi, this has been too long."
As soon as he appeared in the lounge of the card hall, he heard Secretary He's complaining voice.
Looking around, I saw that only my three roommates, Director Xiu and Coach He were still there.
It was already late at night and the remaining four colleagues had already left.
At this time, the straw man was leaning on the sofa, holding a milk tea straw in his mouth, and his head was eating rice like a chicken.
Mushroom lay directly on Slime's soft body, and both guys fell asleep.
Obviously, they were waiting to go home.
Especially since Slime retreated so early but still stayed here, this little thing is very considerate.
"Sorry for the wait."
Shi Li thought about it and realized that it did take him quite a while to preview the 500 cards, probably around an hour.
"How's the harvest?"
Director Xiu yawned.
Being able to stay in the pure white space for so long must be something special.
However, these are all the players' privacy. If others don't say anything, she naturally won't ask.
“It’s going well.”
Shi Li nodded.
"Okay, let's stop here today."
"I have already informed all the supervisors that you don't need to come to work tomorrow. Just have a good sleep."
Secretary He took off his glasses and rubbed his nose.
They had been in the dungeon for nearly two days and had hardly any rest.
Not only did he not rest, he also put in a lot of effort to build the wall.
You can imagine how tired you are.
"When did you greet me?"
Shi Li did not forget that he was now the nominal head of the coaching team.
"Even if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't come to work tomorrow."
Secretary He spread his hands in annoyance.
"It's been a while, go back and have a good sleep."
At this time, Director Xiu came over and hooked his arm around Shi Li's shoulders, his expression looking playful and mysterious.
"Tomorrow night, I'll take you to a nice place."
"oh?"
