Chapter 83: Mathematical Problems on the Card Table
Below the introduction are a list of specific points.
[All battles in this instance are PVE games]
[Based on your own player level, you can choose the corresponding scene card at the beginning of the game]
[Solving any deterioration event will be considered as completing the mission]
[Based on the completion of specific tasks, you will be given the number of card draws, which is capped at 10 times]
[The guaranteed number of card draws for this instance is 1]
[You may encounter other players in the dungeon, please be careful when triggering PVP]
Based on the above, Shi Li summarized several pieces of information.
First of all, the card drawing rewards in this copy are ascending.
For example, if you help Doctor Spider deal with a small matter related to aggravation of the disease, you can get 2 chances to draw a card.
Then if you complete an event worth 3 card draws next, the chance of drawing a card in this copy will increase to 3.
If the event completed is also worth 2 card draws, then the chance of drawing a card will still be 2, and will not become 2+2=4.
And there is one guaranteed chance to enter the dungeon, so the Slime can finally rest in peace.
However, the upper limit of this copy is 10 times, even if you directly save the insect elf world, it is still 10 times.
In other words, the best case scenario is that they complete a task worth exactly 10 card draws within the ideal time.
In addition, when he entered a pure PVE instance for the first time, he realized that temporary scene cards would be given based on the player's level.
Shi Li looked at his own player level. The quality of the scene cards given to LV1~9 was D grade.
I don't know if it's divided into 10 levels. If so, if you want to experience S-level scene cards, you have to reach LV40.
Moreover, this mechanism is also effective for PK with other players, so if you really meet other players, you have to think twice before PKing.
After all, if it was a card player of Director Xiu's level, he could easily take out a B-level scene card here, and he would not be confident that he could win.
After checking the task panel, Doctor Spider spoke again.
"Let me assign you two tasks."
"Since the source of this deteriorating disease is unknown, it is difficult to effectively treat it with the methods I currently have."
"So I want to develop new drugs, and I need a volunteer to cooperate with me in drug testing."
"Who among you will take charge?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Li + Mosaicuo + Ah Qing automatically took a step back.
Being a guinea pig, is this what they call paying back with your body? It’s really scary.
"Well, since you're so brave, it's you."
Doctor Spider pointed at the scarecrow.
"You guys can do it, damn."
The straw man, who had just reacted, glared at the three people fiercely, even though it had no eyeballs.
"As for the three of you, medicinal materials are in short supply recently, so I'll have to trouble you to go to Swan Valley."
Doctor Spider said this.
"Doctor? How can you let outsiders go to Swan Valley! It's very dangerous there!"
Unexpectedly, Xixi, who hadn't spoken a word when the drug trial was mentioned before, spoke at this time.
"..." x3
Shi Li and the other two suddenly felt something was wrong.
But the name Swan Valley sounds like it should be a beautiful place, but looking at Xixi's tone , it doesn't seem to be a good place to go.
"Hahaha, you're going to regret this, damn!"
The straw man pointed at them, looking very pleased.
"So Xixi, as the clinic's specially invited assistant, I hope you can go with them."
"Doctor, when did I become your special assistant?"
"Right now, I'm asking you."
"Damn it, doctor, you're holding me back again."
Xixi let out a sigh of relief.
She knew that she had a shortcoming, which was that she couldn't refuse her friends' requests.
Once I get rejected, I feel uncomfortable all over.
Just for this reason, she agreed to try drugs when the doctor asked her to.
The result was that I just stayed in bed for two days.
But compared to the dangers of Swan Valley, this is still better.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Xixi temporarily joins your deck]
[Ding Dong! ]
[Task 1: Go to Swan Valley to collect medicinal herbs for Doctor Spider]
[Hint: Xixi knows a lot about the information about Swan Valley, you can ask her]
Messages popped up one after another, making Shi Li feel like he was playing a card RPG.
"Hello, can you tell me about Swan Valley?"
So he followed the RPG routine.
"Why does your tone suddenly become strange?"
After all, Xixi is a real person, not an NPC. She looked at the other person from head to toe, trying to see if water had entered his body anywhere.
"Before we set off, we must first figure out what we need to collect this time."
"The collection list the doctor wants should be in another office. Please follow me."
Then she said with ease.
"Come on, young man, follow me down."
As for Doctor Spider, he opened a steel door leading to the underground with a smile on his face and walked in with the straw man.
In just a short while, when Shi Li and the others passed by again after getting the collection list, they had already heard the faint sound of the straw man's grass.
Although the steel door is very thick, it still cannot stop the sound from penetrating.
This made the man, mushroom and green feel very fortunate.
After walking out of the clinic under Xixi's leadership, they began to truly see this world.
The plants in this world seem to be exceptionally large.
The clinic with a large area and many rooms was actually hollowed out from the inside of a big tree.
The key point is that from the outside, the tree is still lush and full of vitality.
This seems to be a small town, and some insect elf villagers can be seen.
They all look like humans mixed with insects.
Some have fewer insect features, like Xixi, which has antennae on its head and wings on its back.
Some have more insect characteristics, like Doctor Spider, where half of their body is an insect, and some even have their heads made of insects.
"I wonder if there is anyone who loves insects. Having so many insect girls must be a paradise for them."
Shi Li looked around.
Soon, his attention was drawn to the situation not far away.
There was a group of villagers gathered together.
"What's going on over there? Let's go take a look."
Mushroom suggested.
"I think I've guessed what happened."
Xixi's expression was not very good.
As she said that, she took the lead and walked over.
A few people walked closer and found that everyone was surrounding a villager and pointing at him.
This villager is an ant-man, a male with a human body and an ant's head.
At this moment, he was just lying quietly on the ground, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
What is more noteworthy is that on the back of his left hand, there is a purple patch with a crystal-like luster.
"What's wrong with this guy, lying here in broad daylight."
"I saw it. He went to buy groceries just now, but when he came back, he suddenly collapsed without a sound."
"It's over. Another guy who has been deteriorated."
"I remember he left town yesterday, but I didn't expect he would be infected today."
"Oh, how pitiful."
"Where are the guards? Why haven't the guards arrived yet?"
Although this deteriorating disease cannot be transmitted through human-to-human contact, no one dared to step forward to help him up.
"Deterioration is..."
Shi Li knew that this should be related to their mission, so he took the opportunity to ask Xixi.
"Deterioration disease, a strange disease whose source is still unknown."
"People who have the deterioration disease will turn their entire body into amethyst when they become ill, and they will lose their sanity and become madmen who can only attack and destroy."
"But the disease is not contagious and it doesn't infect plants. It only harms us or other animals."
Xixi's expression was a little solemn.
"We shouldn't get this disease..."
Mosaichu felt scared after hearing this.
"Luckily I'm dressed warmly."
Ah Qing said she was not worried.
"Huh? He's awake!"
Just then, they suddenly heard a villager shouting.
When Shi Li and the others looked back, they saw the ant-man tremblingly crawling up.
"Where...where is this? Who...who am I?"
Ant-Man pressed his head: "My head hurts..."
As he spoke, his body surface began to rapidly turn purple.
"Oh no! He's going to have a seizure!"
"Everybody, run!"
"Go home and close the door!"
The villagers who were originally watching all dispersed at once.
【roar!!!】
At the moment when he was completely transformed into purple, Ant-Man's body suddenly swelled as if he was transforming, and he let out a roar.
"Are we running too?"
The mushrooms have already started to form.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and the short legs run first.
"There's nothing to run for."
Shi Li shook his head.
"It's too late."
Ah Qing held up the small white board.
At this moment, time and space freeze.
Buzz!
A beam of blue light descended from the sky and the card table began to spread out.
A 3+1x3 card grid appeared in front of them.
As a rule, each person is responsible for one column.
"Wow, I have options for scenario cards here!"
Before placing the deck, Mushroom called out first.
After hearing what it said, Shi Li also opened his scene card panel.
In addition to [Night Parade of a Hundred Demons], there are three more D-level scene cards to choose from.
[Wrath of Nature]: Select a target each round and attack it 50 points
[Natural Nourishment]: Select a target each round and treat it with 50 points of [Healing]
[Town Tree Plate]: After revealing the card, perform [Entangle] on up to 3 enemy cards every even round.
They are all D-level scene cards with only one skill.
However, he didn't understand what this tree disk was.
"Oh my god, what kind of scene cards do you have?"
Mosaichu said this, revealing his scenario card options.
[Mushroom Rage]: Select a target each round and attack it 25 points
[Mushroom Nourishment]: Select a mushroom card target each round and treat it with 75 points of [Healing]
[Mushroom Town]: After the card is revealed, every even-numbered round, up to 3 enemy cards will be poisoned by 5 points for 1 round.
They all turned into mushroom brands.
"In this case, you are quite talented as a poker player."
This time, Shi Li finally acknowledged the value of Mushroom.
At least this [Small Town Mushroom Plate] is much better than his [Small Town Tree Plate].
However, after some interaction, they decided to use Ah Qing's copy scene card.
Because it is level 12, it can get C grade.
[Nature's Wrath]
1. Choose a target each round and attack it 50 points
2. Choose two targets each round and attack them 25 points each.
【Natural Moisturizing】:
1. Each round, select a target and treat it with 50 points of [Healing]
2. Select a target each round and give it 30 points of [First Aid]
【Town Tree Plate】
1. After the unveiling, perform [Entangle] on all enemies once every even round.
2. When your card attacks the target of [Entangle], the damage is +10
"How novel! I didn't know that this kind of mechanism would appear in a pure PVE instance ."
Mushroom sighed again and again.
However, Shi Li had already encountered the [Chess Realm Barrier] before, so he was not surprised.
At this time, he looked at the extra card in the deck.
This card can be seen by all three of them, but only one can use it.
【Xixi】
Rage, 30 points, C
Attack 30, 100/100
[Mantis Catches Cicada - Passive]: When Xixi attacks insect cards, attack power +10
[Mantis Brace - Passive]: When Xixi attacks a card with higher HP than her own, her attack power increases by 10
"So she is a praying mantis."
Only after seeing the cards did Shi Li understand what kind of insect the other party was.
This card is actually pretty good, with insect special attack + health points and special attack.
If the two are combined, they can deal 50 points of damage.
If he had this card in hand when he was fighting Black Smoke's Beetle deck, he would have won more easily.
And in this world of insect elves, her special attack attribute will definitely be well utilized.
"Who will use this card?"
At this time, Ah Qing raised the small white board.
"I don't mind, but I want the middle row."
Shi Li said this and showed [Sword Dancer].
This card works best in the middle lane.
"Let me play with her first."
Of course, Ah Qing wanted to try out the new cards.
"I'll let it go, unless you want to see the Mushroom Mantis Lady."
Mushrooms are very self-conscious.
The mantis girl is pleasing to the eye, but the mushroom mantis girl is a bit... I don’t know how to describe it.
Finally, each of them, one mushroom and one green, arranged their respective decks.
For the scene card, I chose Ah Qing’s [Natural Moisturizing].
To be honest, Shi Li felt that a mere deteriorated ant-man could not be that strong no matter how strong he was.
In this game, you can just play casually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t use scene cards.
However, there is actually a rule in PVE games.
That is, if your trump card is killed, it is equivalent to death and the capital will be refunded.
So Ah Qing chose a healing card for this reason. It’s always better to be safe.
call out!
The Ant-Man, who was frozen in time and space, turned into a purple light and flew to the card table, then transformed into a projection.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xixi's projection on the card table actually spoke.
[Please don't hurt the residents of the town, we can just subdue him]
As she said this, a panel popped up in front of the man, the mushroom and the green.
[Temporary mission: Keep the target's health below 8%]
[If the mission fails, the number of card draws will be -1]
"I'll go."
Shi Li had heard that starting from LV10, penalties would appear in dungeons .
I just didn't expect to meet him so early.
But it’s okay, this task doesn’t seem difficult and the punishment is also light.
It was said that Black Smoke was punished and dropped several levels at that time. Could it be that he accidentally pressed the nuclear bomb explosion button and caused a massacre?
【roar!!!】
However, when the Ant-Man appeared, he found that the task was not as simple as he had imagined.
【Deteriorated Ant-Man】
Fury, Attack 80, 120/120
[Erosion Power - Passive]: When the Deteriorated Ant-Man attacks a creature card, its [Defense] is ignored.
[Deterioration Protective Film - Passive]: Every time Deterioration Ant-Man is attacked, the damage is -3
It’s not that strong, but the amount of blood is a bit disgusting.
Combined with temporary tasks, it is like giving them a poker table math problem.
"What is 8% of 120 HP?"
Mushroom couldn't figure it out on the spot.
"120x0.08=9.6"
Ah Qing wrote.
Shi Li folded his arms and listed out conditions one by one.
"For now, I'm only considering cards with 30 and 25 attacks."
"30 attack points equals 27 damage."
"25 attack points equals 22 damage."
"120-9.6=110.4. To be on the safe side, we'd better reduce its health to 111."
"That is to say, this is a linear equation of two variables."
"X*27+Y*22 is greater than or equal to 111 and less than 120."
“Find any combination of X and Y.”
As he finished reciting these conditions, he also calculated the results in his mind.
"A 25-attack card attacks 4 times, dealing 88 damage."
"A 30-attack card attacks once, dealing 27 damage."
"The total is 115, and there are 5 health points left. You can complete the mission."
5 attacks will complete the mission.
"Then what if the other party [defends]?"
As a result, Ah Qing's question stumped him.
“Hmm…”
Shi Li held his chin and thought about it.
"You said that for this mission punishment, will it only deduct the number of card draws of the person who killed the target?"
He set his eyes on the mushrooms.
"It makes sense. It's possible."
Ah Qing held up the sign and looked at Mosaichu.
"Oh my god, I can't tolerate you guys like this! Mushroom!"
Mosaichu's expression froze.
"If you really encounter that situation, just draw lots."
Shi Li stopped teasing it and waved his hand.
Fortunately, the [Deteriorated Ant-Man] did not engage in [defense] in the end.
The whole process was carried out just as he calculated.
[Roar… Roar…]
When Ant-Man had only 5 health points left, he fell to his knees helplessly.
Buzz!
The blue light from the card table began to fade, and they completed their temporary task.
When the space-time freeze was lifted, Ant-Man turned from a projection into a entity.
The body that originally occupied two spaces on the plaque had shrunk a lot, perhaps because of the injury.
"Thank you. I didn't expect you guys to be so strong."
Xixi looked at several people.
After subduing the Deteriorated Ant-Man, they stayed there to guard the place.
Less than 3 minutes later, a team of fully armed guards arrived.
They were no longer unfamiliar with this situation, and they quickly imprisoned the degenerate ant man and took him away.
"Xixi, thanks to you for taking action."
The captain of the guard, a handsome man who also had only a few insect-like features, walked over.
"No, this time it was several of them who put in the effort."
Xixi did not take the credit and introduced: "This is the captain of the town's guard, Palan."
“You guys don’t look like they are from our town.”
Palan looked at Shi Li and the others.
Since the emergence of the disease, fewer and fewer people are traveling outside.
"To express my gratitude, would you like to take a rest in our guard team's office?"
After thinking about it, he extended an invitation.
"No, I want to take them to help the doctor collect herbs."
"I see. Where are you planning to go to collect herbs?"
"Swan Valley."
"Um?"
Hearing the name of this place, Palan's face changed.
