With the appearance of Xixi, a panel popped up in front of Shi Li and A Qing.
[Temporary mission: Defeat the opponent while ensuring that Xixi survives]
[If the task fails, the game is considered lost]
"I'll go."
Ah Qing held up the sign, and Shi Lize seemed to read the words on it.
If they lose the game, they will be out of the game immediately.
As the multiplayer party that instigates the game in PVP, they now have no choice at all.
If you don't want to be kicked out of the dungeon, you have to win.
Now you tell me, besides having your trump card blown up, there is another new way to lose?
[Attack and defense...both! ]
At this time, the dwarf mothman's trump card projection also appeared on the surface.
It was a tall lizardman covered with stone-like scales and holding a simple spear in his hand.
It looks strong and powerful, but in fact its attack power is pitifully low.
[Lizard Warrior]
Balanced, 30 points, B
Attack 10, 200/200
[Hunting Instinct - Passive]: Lizard Warrior attacks targets with less than 40% HP, attack power +20
[Crazy Rush - Passive]: Lizard Warrior attacks a target with less than 20% HP, attack power +40
[Bloodthirst Talent - Passive]: Lizard Warrior's attack power -20, but gains [Healing] equal to the damage caused when attacking.
This card was temporarily replaced by the Dwarf Mothman.
Originally, he had prepared a trump card with stronger attack power.
However, considering the existence of [Sword Dancer], I replaced it with this card which has low attack power but strong endurance.
Faced with this card, Shi Li fell into deep thought.
In fact, he had been thinking about a problem from the very beginning.
That's why the other party didn't reveal the last regular card.
There are only two possibilities.
First, the opponent is holding back a big move.
Like the [Lotus Buried in Bones] of the three-eyed girl, it is a big move that can kill people instantly when it is revealed.
Second, the regular card cannot be exposed too early.
Exposing yourself too early may give your opponent room to prepare.
What kind of cards are those that cannot be exposed too early?
It's probably like [Wilson's Fire Boy], a card that has the nature of a bomb or a mine, and you can't touch it casually.
Judging from the current situation, the opponent kept the last regular card and waited to reveal his last regular card in the same round, which was obviously due to the second reason.
Then he also noticed that the opponent's trump card and the last regular card only scored 30 points in total.
This means that there must be a weak card between the two, or perhaps both of them are weak.
That's why he put [Sword Dancer] in the ace position to gain 200 HP, and used [Golden Bell Monster] to reveal it early.
The idea is to use the method of [Piercing] to carry out a series attack and directly attack the opponent's trump card through the regular card.
But now…
The conditions were more stringent than expected.
This [Hostage] card is not a thunder card, but it is better than a thunder card.
"I'll see what you do next, hehehe."
So this is why the dwarf mothman is so fearless.
The [hostage] was in his hands, so he also saw the announcement of that mission.
"I know. You took out a healing card because you were afraid that I was hiding a thunder card, right?"
"But even if it's a thunder card, what can you do?"
"How much healing can a wisdom card provide?"
"If you want to beat me, you have to beat her. If you beat her, you lose immediately."
"But you actually managed to hold back. I kept the cards covered for so long, but you didn't even touch them. You deserve praise. Hahahaha!"
It was the first time that the Dwarf Mothman knew that kidnapping other people’s quest NPC was such a cool thing!
Even in a 2V1 situation, I can’t do anything to myself!
"Is that so?"
However, Shi Li didn't seem to care.
"Huh?"
Then the Dwarf Mothman discovered that the opponent did not reveal any cards in this round.
The last regular card is still covered.
"You want to learn from me? Humph, you're just playing tricks!"
He snorted coldly and controlled his trump card to attack the Jade Horned Deer.
It will be more reassuring if you deal with this treatment card first.
【prey!】
-10
The lizardman warrior stabbed forward with his spear, and the damage number popped up.
【Yo yo yo! 】
+30
However, the jade-horned deer raised its head and shouted, and green light spread all over its body.
"Xixi, can you hear me?"
At this time, Shi Li sent a message to Xixi.
[I can hear you! Help me, woooooo!]
Xixi is still crying.
This round, Shi Li chose [Defense] for all of his other cards.
After the round, the cards look like this:
[Lizard Man]
【hostage】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Ugly person 74】
【Jade Corner 67】【Empty Space】【Cover】
【Vacant seat】【Dancer】【Vacant seat】
A new round has arrived, and Shi Li is about to unveil the card.
The reason why he didn't reveal the card in the last round was because he wanted to observe the situation again.
The original cover card was [Wild Fat Cat].
The reason for putting this card up is simple.
That is, it can release fear.
[Fear]: The target is forced to [Defend] in the next round.
Force the opponent's thunder card to [Defend], and then hit [Penetrating].
This can minimize the damage to the thunder card.
But now it seems that the opponent's ace has the ability to recover, so [Wild Fat Cat] still won't work.
And in order to protect itself, the jade-horned deer has used up all its energy.
If you use the [Wild Fat Cat], the best you can hope for is that the opponent's ace and the [hostage] will die together.
In that case, he and Ah Qing would still not be able to escape the fate of being kicked out of the copy.
So his choice of substitute card is...
bite!
With a flick of the finger, the card turns over.
[Ding ding ding! The system is operating normally...]
A projection of a robotic vehicle with solar panels on top slowly drove out from the light column on the card.
【A-38】
Listen to the wind, 0 points, C
Attack 0, 100/100, 0/3
[Repeat Cycle System - Passive]: When A-38 continuously restores energy to a target, the amount restored is doubled.
[Energy Recharge - 3 Energy]: A-38 restores 3 energy points for a card
The material store recently received a batch of new goods, and he got some good stuff.
So the previous A-37 was modified and upgraded to become the A-38.
"this……"
Seeing that it was a 0-point card, the dwarf moth man was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately reacted: "What the hell?!"
What this means now is... that the opponent's [Healing] can last infinitely?
A calculation problem was quickly solved in his mind.
Apart from the initial replenishment, the opponent's robot car only needs 3 subsequent rounds, including the rounds for releasing skills, to replenish the energy of the Jade Horned Deer in 4 rounds.
And each round, you can only cause 5 points of damage to the opponent's [Defense] and restore 5 health.
[Lizard Warrior] can only deal 15 points of damage when it hits [Defense] in 4 turns, while the opponent can recover 60 points of health in 4 turns.
There is a numerical difference between the two that cannot be ignored.
If all attacks were directed at the Sword Dancer.
[Sword Dancer] recovers 4 energy points in 4 rounds, which means she will release 2 penetration [Sword Dance], causing an output of 50 points.
And his own [Lizard Warrior] can cause 5+10+5+10=30 damage in 4 rounds and restore 30 HP.
If the two were to fight one-on-one, the Lizard Warrior with its own recovery function would definitely win.
But if the opponent has a healer with infinite lifespan, that’s a different story.
The number of rounds is relaxed to 12 as one cycle, and [Sword Dancer] only releases sword energy 4 times instead of the full 6 times.
Then the result will become:
The opponent's healing amount for 12 rounds is 180 points. The 80 points of damage received by the Sword Dancer + the 100 points of damage received by the Hostage = 180 points, which is just enough to replenish it.
In the 12th round, his [Lizard Warrior] suffered 100 points of damage, causing 80 points of damage to the opponent and recovering 80 points of damage to himself.
In other words, if you keep increasing the number of rounds, you will eventually lose 20 health points every 12 rounds, while the opponent will suffer no loss.
Then after 10 cycles, or 120 rounds, you will lose!
This is a fucking bladder bureau!
"Xixi, it might be a little painful later, just bear with it."
A new round began and Shi Li spoke again.
[Yes! I believe you! Gently! ]
Xixi pretended to be strong and stopped crying.
"This conversation between you two is weird."
Ah Qing held up a sign to complain.
“Wait a minute!”
However, at this moment, the dwarf mothman changed his attitude.
"Brother! It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
"I'm not actually from the right-minded side, I'm from the left-minded side!"
"Claiming to be right-wing is just a fishing expedition."
"The goal is to find out the real right-wingers and complete the mission assigned by the organization by dealing with them!"
His tone was quite sincere.
"You only say this now, do you think we will believe it?"
Shi Li spread his hands.
You are about to win, and you still come to talk to me about left-hearted and right-hearted factions.
What's more, are leftists always good?
At the card table, his faith was firm and even the king of heaven could not interfere with his card playing.
Ah Qing, who was standing next to him, raised a sign to point out the key information: "If we want to end the game, the initiative is in your hands, not ours."
“Damn it…”
After being reminded, the dwarf mothman also came to his senses.
In this 2V1 game, I am on the smaller side.
Only the minority side has the privilege to discard 1 card and choose to escape.
But the six cards on the table are all my treasures, and I can't bear to discard any of them.
Especially for the Bala deck, he only has these few B-level cards.
It would be nice if I could discard [Hostage], but unfortunately this card doesn’t essentially belong to me!
"That's all!"
Thinking of this, the dwarf mothman gritted his teeth.
Buzz!
As he made the gesture of discarding his cards, the time and space of the entire table froze.
Including Shi Li and Ah Qing, only the dwarf moth man can move.
By the time Shi Li and Ah Qing thawed out, the blue light of the card table had already begun to fade.
Looking around, the dwarf moth man had already run away somewhere unknown in the cover of night.
“It wasn’t easy, but we won.”
Ah Qing came over holding a sign.
Finally, it lowered its head and scribbled a sentence: "Is he really a leftist?"
In its opinion, if what the other party said just now is true, then the general direction of their trip actually coincides with theirs.
"Who knows?"
Shi Li looked at the gradually disappearing lizard man's projection on the ground, shook his head with regret, and then said: "Who cares if he is a left-hearted or right-hearted person? Anyway, if he messes with us, he will suffer no good consequences."
As he spoke, he asked Ah Qing for a knife and cut open the silk cocoon that bound Xixi.
"Wooooooooo! Thank you for saving me! Thank you!"
Xixi ran straight into his arms.
Shi Li lowered his head and met those big watery eyes.
Apart from having antennae and insect wings, this girl is actually no different from a pure human.
That pitiful look is quite touching.
What's more, this seemed to be the first time since he was old enough to understand that he had such a close contact with an alien of the same age.
"Ahem, as long as you're okay."
Because he was afraid of hitting Xixi, he held the other person's head and pushed the person away.
But his move did not take into account the cultural differences between the two.
Xixi stood there, touching the tentacles that Shi Li had just touched, as if she was thinking about something.
"Okay! Xixi promised you that she would help you lay eggs!"
Unexpectedly, when she opened her mouth, she was so fierce.
“?!”
Shi Li almost choked on his saliva: "When did I ever ask for this?"
"Don't pretend. Touching my tentacles just now was just a request!"
It turns out that in the world of insect elves, touching antennae does mean courtship.
"this……"
Shi Li didn't know what to say.
At this time, Ah Qing quickly wrote a line of words: "It is said that the female mantis will eat the male during or after the reproduction process to increase the efficiency of egg-laying."
"hiss!"
Being reminded of this, Shi Li remembered that he had also heard of this saying.
"Oh! I'm not that kind of person!"
Xixi was dissatisfied with this, licked her lips and said, "I promise, I will only bite you twice, just two!"
This guy sure is delicious.
"You'd better save your energy."
Shi Li stepped back angrily.
At the same time, his eyes fell on the Mothman's little brother.
Yes, this guy also suffered when time and space froze, so the Dwarf Mothman didn't take him away.
Seeing that these guys had even chased away his boss, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He huddled in the corner of the rock pile, waiting pitifully for his fate.
"How do we deal with this guy?"
Ah Qing holds up a sign.
"Beat him, beat him hard! Then escort him back to the town and hand him over to the guards!"
"These daring pirates actually want to sell me out!"
Xixi's attention was diverted and she suddenly became angry.
"No, let him take us to find mushrooms."
Shi Li did not forget about that guy this time.
“That makes sense.”
Ah Qing suddenly realized that he had played a game of cards and had forgotten everything.
"Hey, do you know where our other partner went?"
So Xixi stepped forward and asked with her hands on her hips in a bad mood.
"I, I, I, I can find it! We have an agreed location!"
The Mothman boy quickly answered, fearing he would be tortured again.
"Okay, then you can lead the way quickly."
Shi Li didn't waste any time talking to him.
So, under the leadership of the Mothman's younger brother, the three of them moved quickly in another direction.
While they were on the road, at Ah Qing's suggestion, the Moth Man's younger brother introduced the situation of their small group of roving bandits to the three of them.
The small group was really small, just three people.
Originally they were even younger, with only two brothers.
He is lazy and likes to eat a lot on weekdays. He just likes to lie on the trees and pick fruits to eat when he is hungry.
Or they would rob the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women who happened to pass by. They only opened their business once every few years.
Then two months ago, they encountered the dwarf moth man.
I thought I had finally met an easy target, but ended up getting severely punished.
Then, because they all belonged to the moth family, they recognized this leader.
With a new leader, they really lived a life of luxury.
But now it seems that the good days are a bit short and are over.
After listening to the statement of the Moth Man's younger brother, Shi Li and A Qing had a secret conversation.
Ah Qing: "If the Left Heart Faction came here, it should be to protect the Left Heart World and fight against the Right Heart Faction, right? Why does it sound like this guy is doing a lot of evil?"
Shi Li: "It is indeed very different from what I imagined. It is not ruled out that he lied in the end. Either he is a right-minded person, or he committed the crime under the name of a right-minded person and wanted to shift the blame. In short, he is not a good person."
Ah Qing: "I also think that he is more likely to be a right-minded person. If there is a chance to meet him again, just catch him and torture him thoroughly."
Shi Li: "Are you addicted to torture?"
Ah Qing: "Hey, a little bit."
"What are you two writing about, passing it back and forth? Let me see it too!"
Xixi couldn't help her curiosity and wanted to come closer.
"Here we are, right here!"
Just at this moment, the Mothman's younger brother shouted.
It turns out that there is a small wooden house hidden among the mountains and forests.
"Go open the door."
Arriving in front of the cabin, Shi Li gestured.
"Huh?"
As a result, as soon as the Mothman brother pushed open the door, he was shocked by the scene inside.
My companions are in there, and the prey is also in there, but... why is there one more person?
"Uncle A Tu?!"
Through the gap, Xixi saw the face of the third person clearly.
Originally, Shi Li and Ah Qing were ready to fight in an instant.
Only after hearing her call did I let down my guard half way.
"He is... the Uncle Tu you mentioned?"
Shi Li looked at Xixi in disbelief.
The reason why he only let down his guard halfway was because he could tell at a glance that this person was no ordinary person.
What appeared before them at this moment was a humanoid mecha! A Gundam!
How could there be Gundam in the world of insect elves? This guy is clearly a card player!
I was really lucky tonight, I actually met his poker player again and again.
"You guys are finally here, Mushroom!"
When Mosaichu saw Shi Li and A Qing, he jumped down from the chair.
"Yes, this is Uncle Tu. He passed by and saved me."
It introduced it to everyone.
Basically, it was carried halfway by the Mothman's little brother and accidentally ran into Uncle Tu who was passing by.
Then the other party knocked the younger brother down and rescued it.
"Uncle A Tu, thank you."
Xixi also told the other party about the situation on their side.
"Hehehe... So you guys are going to Swan Valley to collect herbs? You better be careful then."
Uncle Tu picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.
“…”
Shi Li still felt that this was too incongruous.
A Gundam is actually named Atu Bo and drinks health-preserving hot tea.
But they should still be thanked, after all, they saved their teammates.
Among them, Ah Qing showed great interest in Atu Bo.
Because it also wants to wear a mecha and thinks it's cool.
"Xixi, take these two guys out and keep an eye on them so that they can help me get some materials for druid spells. I'm going to summon the tree people to take these two guys back to town."
Seeing that Shi Li and the others seemed to have a lot to say, Uncle Tu found a reason to send Xixi away.
However, the druid magic, summoning tree people, is also not very compatible with Gundam.
"Okay, Uncle Tu, hold me!"
Xixi patted her chest.
She has always been interested in Uncle Tu's magic, but unfortunately she just couldn't learn it after trying many times.
"Hehe, I know you have a lot of questions."
"Let me explain slowly."
After Xixi took the people away, Uncle Tu took the initiative to introduce them.
The general situation is that he was originally a war machine in his native world.
But one day, his own intelligence suddenly awakened from the artificial intelligence. Because he was afraid of being discovered, he lived a very difficult life in hiding.
One day, by chance, he traveled to the cubic card universe.
There, he found true freedom.
After being free, I began to review and think about my past.
He felt guilty about the carnage he had caused.
Then I accidentally entered this copy and felt that this kind of world where people and nature live in harmony is very suitable for me.
So he found a way to stay and planted trees every day to atone for his past.
Honestly, after listening to the story, One Man, One Mushroom and One Green, I felt it was quite mysterious.
A killing machine gained intelligence and turned into a gardener robot?
I don’t know how to evaluate it.
But in general, although they were both Source players, the one who saved Mushroom obviously left a better impression on them than the dwarf mothman.
So next, Shi Li and the others began to ask the questions that they were most concerned about.
Worsening of disease.
