Chapter 53: The Evolution of the Will-O-Wisp Boy
After returning to the villa, everyone, Cao, Mushroom and Shi went back to their own rooms to rest.
After washing up, Shi Liren felt much more energetic, so he lay on the bed and started playing cards.
One by one, the first one he picked up was [Mutated Mayor].
Although this card has the strong effect of [Retention], its shortcomings are also obvious.
That is a negative passive with an attack power of -15.
So holding this card, he began to look for a fusion object.
The first card chosen is [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].
"Let's just say, what if we can move [Retention] to her and turn it into an A-rank card? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Okay, I was overthinking it."
But when the preview results came out, his face changed slightly.
Success is possible, but it is not very beautiful.
The originally beautiful girl with sheep horns and rabbit ears in the projection turned into a bald middle-aged man with a big belly.
The most disgusting thing is that she was actually wearing a cheongsam.
【Kung Fu Bald】
Break, 25 points, C
Attack 10, 100/100, 0/3
[Athletics - Passive]: When Kung Fu Bald Man is directly attacked, damage -5
[Scholar - Passive]: Kung Fu Bald Man's attack power -15
“Hah!”
After looking at it for a few more times, Shi Li couldn't help himself.
This reading result can be said to be a comprehensive weakening, even a downgrade.
Continuing the preview, several cards in a row have no results, which is the so-called bust.
I didn’t expect that the card that could be fused was not the human-shaped card I imagined.
It's the card [Wild Fat Cat].
But the result is still not good looking.
The fat cat on the wall in the projection has a few bald spots on its body.
【Wild Bald Cat】
Listen to the Wind, 25 points, C
Attack 10, 100/100, 0/2
[Don't Want to Move at All - Passive]: Wild Bald Cat's Attack Power -15, Recovers 1 Extra Energy Point Each Round
[King's Gaze - Passive]: When the Wild Bald Cat reveals his card, he can choose a target and make it fall into [Fear] for 2 rounds.
The passive ability changed from "don't want to move" to "don't want to move at all", which is another pure nerf.
"It's good, I got it!"
However, when he previewed [Ugly Chef], he finally saw a different result.
With it as the main card, there is basically no major change in the projection.
Just throw away the kitchen knife and chef's uniform and put on a suit.
The main changes still come from the cards.
【Ugly person】
Wisdom, 20 points, C
Attack 20, 100/100, 1/1
[Desperate Sudden Change - Passive]: When the Ugly Man's HP reaches 0, his attack power increases by 10, and he enters the [Stay] state for 1 round
[A Bit Ugly - 1 Energy]: The Ugly Person chooses a target and makes it [Taunt] for 2 rounds
(【Taunt】: Forces the target to 【attack】 the releaser)
(【Stay】: Does not accept any buff effects and will not exit)
"The negative effects have been removed, and the card has been upgraded from a D-level card to a C-level card."
"The passive skill [Desperate Sudden Change] is quite suitable when paired with the taunt skill."
“It’s not perfect yet.”
Bang!
He clapped his hands and light overflowed from between his palms.
Shi Li finished shuffling the cards.
Next, he took out the three cards [Rhino King], [Strike No. 18], and [A-37] one after another .
However, they have no objects to fuse with, and the preview results are all exploding cards or swallowing cards.
Then there is the [Enhanced Iron Square Engine].
With a quick preview, we can see that this material can be integrated with the [Sprinkler Truck].
Judging from the projection effect, the horsepower has indeed become much stronger.
It’s a pity that this is not a copy, so he can’t drive for the time being, which makes him feel a little itchy.
"Here comes the highlight."
After dealing with the other 5 new cards, Shi Li took out [Six-legged Robot Hunter].
With the other hand, he took out [Ghost Fire Boy].
First use [Six-legged Robot Hunter] as the main card.
[Six-legged Robot Hunter] + [Wisp Boy] = [Six-legged Boy]
"???"
This name made Shi Li stunned.
Looking at the projection again, the original mechanical hound now had a robot-like boy's body.
"Just piece it together."
He was too weak to complain.
As for the panel, it is even more ridiculous.
【Six-legged boy】
Chasing the Wind, 40 points, B
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/3
[Wisp of Fire - Passive]: The six-legged boy cannot survive for more than 3 rounds after revealing the card.
[Parents Raised in vain - Passive]: The six-legged boy's score is doubled
[Returning as a Young Man - Passive]: If the card slot is empty after 14 rounds, the six-legged boy will be reborn at the same place
"14 rounds of rebirth, do you think it means reincarnating again and growing to 14 years old?"
"After so many rounds, the game must have been a mess by now."
He didn't want this kind of B-grade card at all.
It has to be said that he was very disappointed with the preview results.
Then turn it around and let [Willow Fire Boy] be the main body.
[Wisp Boy] + [Six-legged Robot Hunter] = [Wisp Boy]
"Good boy, you are really good at swallowing cards."
The name of the card has not changed.
However, there are still some differences in the projection.
【Wuhu～】
The appearance of the young man in the projection remained basically unchanged, but he had turned into a robotic life form.
As for the cards, there have been obvious changes.
【Wild Fire Boy】
Chasing the Wind, 60 points, C
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Expensive Motorcycle - Passive]: Double the score of the Ghost Fire Boy
[Self-Overload - Passive]: When the Ghost Fire Boy leaves the stage, he deals true damage equal to his own score to the two unveiled targets.
“That’s the effect I wanted.”
"It's even more perfect than [Ugly Man]."
Bang!
He snapped his fingers happily.
60 points certainly takes up a lot of space, and it is 60 points of 30 attacks.
But the one that self-destructs when exiting the stage is really powerful, with two 60 points of real damage.
As long as it is used properly, the missing output can be made up.
Put this card in front of the trump card, are you still worried that its self-destruction will not be triggered?
After sorting out the harvest from this copy, Shi Li finally felt relaxed and fell asleep peacefully.
…
After a long late sleep, Shi Li felt refreshed.
Mushrooms get up a little earlier, and he can choose one of the following three foods for lunch or dinner.
They were a mushroom feast, green snot dishes, and bubble milk tea with only the pearls left.
As an adult, he chose to have none of it.
Ordered a takeaway neatly.
After dinner, I would dawdle for a few hours.
When night fell, he slowly arrived at the card hall at the agreed time.
Director Xiu arrived at the door of the card hall before him, sitting in a convertible hover sports car.
The bright red color of the whole car suits her very well.
"Director, what a nice car."
Shi Li stood beside the car, looking very interested.
"Of course I spent a lot of money."
Director Xiu raised his chin at him.
Today she was wearing a casual suit of the same bright red color and a pair of sunglasses.
"Director, let me open it."
"You can't see with your sunglasses on at night."
Shi Li was eager to try.
"No, no, no, my car is self-driving."
"Look, there's not even a steering wheel."
Director Xiu was immediately shocked.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to remove the steering wheel in advance.
She had seen this guy driving.
"That's a real shame."
Shi Li showed a regretful expression and sat on the passenger seat.
The two fastened their seat belts, and Director Xiu entered the destination and started the automatic driving mode.
Buzz buzz buzz...!
The sports car was suspended off the ground, and the sound of the engine began to vibrate.
Don’t be fooled by the cool shape of this car, the appearance of Xiu Wushuang is also very cool.
But in fact, she set the speed limit to 30, and drove as slowly as an old car.
"Where are we going tonight?"
Such a speed of car made Shi Li feel even more disappointed, so he started a conversation.
"Have you ever heard of... the Entertainment Bureau?"
Faced with this question, Director Xiu showed a hint of excitement on his face.
"Entertainment Bureau?"
Shi Li was slightly stunned.
He knew the Entertainment Bureau and heard that they had a lot of fun there.
Anyway, it’s all about competing at the poker table using all kinds of fancy rules.
The Cube Card table is very flexible, and any rules you can think of can be made through the table.
For example, there is a PVE table race to see who has the fewest turns, a multi-party brawl involving several or even dozens of players, or a melee PK using follower cards.
I even heard that there is a Cube Werewolf game.
I roughly understand the rules of Werewolf, but I have no idea how to use the cube cards to kill.
Even more exaggerated, there are also output commands to make the card projection perform a situational drama.
Of course, there are also serious card games.
"So, are we going to the Entertainment Bureau Club tonight?"
Then he thought of the answer.
An entertainment club is a place that specializes in providing entertainment.
There will be a lot of people gathering there, trying out different ways of playing with each other.
In places like this, there are often some gamblers involved.
For example, cubic coins, for example, material cards.
But he heard that the most common and most recognized bet was on personality.
To say that it is a gambling personality may be a bit of an exaggeration.
It's nothing more than some things like calling someone dad or elder brother, which is purely a chance to bring honor.
"That's right. I took you to the club today because I wanted you to meet my 18 big brothers."
As a result, Director Xiu's words silenced Shi Li.
It turns out that in addition to dressing up for male dolls, her other biggest hobby is club entertainment.
Constantly trying various new and interesting entertainment games is quite attractive to many card players.
She played more entertainment games, and the base was there, so naturally she lost more.
"And my three fathers, you are good at playing cards, I hope you can avenge me."
"Kill them!"
Having said that, Director Xiu wiped his neck in hatred.
"They don't sound like your fathers, they sound more like your enemies."
Shi Li was completely speechless.
The club was not far from the card hall, and they arrived there after chatting for about ten minutes.
The sports car dropped off the two people and ran to find a parking space.
"This club is quite large."
Shi Li looked up at the magnificent facade.
"Of course, there are a lot of things to play with in there."
Director Xiu pulled him inside.
"Sir (Miss), welcome!"
At the door, several angels in uniform nodded slightly to them.
“…”
Shi Li glanced at them and his opinion of this club increased again.
Being able to specifically find a unified race, or a race like the angels that is famous for its beautiful appearance, is also a reflection of strength from a certain perspective.
There is a spacious hall at the entrance, with hundreds of dining tables. Many of them are occupied by people, and waiters are shuttling between the tables.
There are all kinds of food placed throughout the hall.
"Are you hungry? You can eat as much as you want at the buffet here."
Director Xiu took out a black VIP card with gold trim and swiped it on the device at the door.
【Welcome, dear Black Gold member】
[Accompanying personnel detected, please authenticate]
The instrument produces pleasant sounds.
"I'm not hungry..."
Shi Li looked at the food and felt that only about half of it was suitable for human consumption.
In the remaining half, there were small hills of silt, raw meat of unknown large species, various metal parts, and even a few piles of stinky-looking garbage.
"Even if I'm hungry, I probably won't have an appetite."
At Director Xiu's signal, he walked to the instrument.
[Dear player Shi Li, welcome]
The instrument identified him as a card player.
"Okay, let's go straight upstairs."
So Director Xiu took him through the hall and came to a glass-covered suspended elevator.
"Which floor do you want to go to?"
The elevator door opened and she turned around to ask.
"?"
Shi Li was stunned.
"Oh, I forgot it was your first time here."
"In that case, let's look at it layer by layer."
Director Xiu took him into the elevator and pressed the [slow ascent] button for sightseeing.
Then the elevator slowly carried the two people upwards.
Coming to the second floor, it is a place that is even more spacious than the first floor.
As the altitude gradually increased, Shi Li discovered that this was a large playground similar to the Roman Colosseum on Blue Star.
At this time, two giant beasts were fighting fiercely.
One looks very much like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but has a pair of bat wings and forked horns on its head.
On the other end was a large turtle-like creature with a whip-like white beard and a back shell covered in colorful crystals.
Only about one-third of the audience was sitting in the circular auditorium. Some were very engaged and excited, while others were quite calm and just cracking melon seeds.
"The second floor is the minion card arena, where all the cards that appear are minion forms."
"The theme of tonight should be a giant beast fight, so the venue is temporarily built to be relatively large."
"Sometimes there will be group battle themes, and even players will occasionally bring their own equipment cards to the battle."
The elevator continued to rise as Director Xiu introduced it.
Coming to the third floor, the decoration style has changed dramatically.
Compared with the first and second floors, this place is not very spacious. The interior is decorated in a sci-fi blue tone. Looking from the elevator, you can see an aisle with rooms on both sides.
“The third floor is an immersive entertainment area.”
"There are VR helmets, cubic cabins, etc., which allow people to enter various virtual spaces."
"There are all kinds of games, such as homemade movies with card characters, Werewolf by Cube, Chicken by Cube, League of Legends by Cube, etc."
"Sometimes people come here specifically for training in order to clear similar dungeons, so it is still somewhat useful."
Just introduce it layer by layer.
After going through more than ten floors and seeing various areas.
The two finally reached the top floor.
