Prison Island

Chapter 293 Everything is ready, except the real dragon

Gao Xin’s words made a lot of sense, and the two of them basically believed it.

However, Li Fengqing felt that there was something wrong.

Li Fengqing frowned and said, "Collecting all levels of cards will trigger the Easter egg. I agree with this."

"As for the Dragon King card, it can be created by keeping the other nine levels of cards at home. This mechanism... is not mentioned in the rules at all."

"The hidden rules should be inferred from the existing rules anyway."

"There's no clue about the birth mechanism in the rules. Maybe we're just overthinking it."

Gao Xin smiled and said, "You're overthinking. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"This is a very deeply hidden rule. Even though it is hidden so deeply and the surface rules do not mention it at all, we can still trigger it."

"The reason is that the way to obtain the Dragon King Card overlaps with the Easter Egg Achievement!"

"As long as you want to trigger the Easter egg, you will trigger this card upgrade mechanism sooner or later, right?"

"Whether there is a rule or not, you have to save one card of each level. When you save nine types, the Dragon King card will pop out automatically. The Easter egg will be completed automatically. What else do you need to say about the rule?"

The two of them suddenly realized, yes.

Just think of the Easter egg as collecting all the cards, the rules don't need to be spelled out.

The easter egg is either having all identities or collecting all combat power cards.

Identity is too simple under the Renegade rules, so the easter egg this time must be to collect all the cards.

Everyone agrees that the easter egg must be a card collection achievement.

The probability of obtaining a Dragon King card is very low. Regardless of whether it is a matter of luck or a hidden card upgrade mechanism, players must collect the first nine cards.

As for whether to frantically drag out time to draw the Dragon King after collecting all nine types of cards, or a Dragon King will automatically appear, it depends on whether the organizer gives players a way to trigger the Easter egg during normal game time.

If the organizer gives it to you, just collect all nine of them.

If he doesn’t give it to you, the players have no choice but to wait for the Dragon King.

Is it possible that there is no such mechanism at all, so we don't need to collect all nine cards? And we don't need the Easter egg?
Doesn’t this episode have to be completed?

Therefore, the card upgrade mechanism does not need to be explicitly stated in the rules, and it would be bad to state it.

Gao Xin said: "Whether there is such a mechanism or not, I am not 100% sure. I admit that it is just speculation."

"If not, then not."

"But I think there should be some, otherwise the garbage time will be too long, and waiting for a card in the end will be meaningless for the audience."

"On the contrary, the Easter egg of collecting all the cards actually only requires nine cards, and the last one is automatically given to you, so the game becomes streamlined."

The two nodded repeatedly and were finally completely convinced.

Whether from the logic of the game, the corresponding meaning in reality, or the intention of the organizer and the mentality of the audience...

Everything should be as Gao Xin said.

He totally got the game.

Mandala sighed: "That's amazing, Tai Sui."

"We have so many forces, and we haven't figured out the rules of the national war even after playing it two or three times. You only played the first time and you saw through everything. Your thinking is too clear."

Gao Xin said, "You just haven't encountered a national war with card collection Easter eggs. Most national war games should only be status-based, right?"

The two nodded. At least the ones they had met were of status type.

Gao Xin continued: "Then let the three of us work together to regain our country."

"Regardless of your identities, help Sivina defeat the opponent, and prioritize attacking Black Pearl and Great White Shark."

"They are both Baidi players, but they are traitors, so Xivina and Ya Ke will definitely support them."

"We will then promote a ceasefire. Since there are no White Emperor players on the other side, the one we will send out will definitely be a Green Emperor player."

"And any of the three of us who go to negotiate on behalf of the White Empire is actually the Black Empire player negotiating."

"In the end, we will negotiate with the Qing Empire, and the White Empire will be kicked out of the negotiation table. We can divide up the White Empire's things as we please."

Mandala and Li Fengqing both nodded and looked at Gao Xin with appreciation: "Good idea, let's do it!"

From Li Fengqing's perspective, the three of them were Black Emperor players who pretended to be White Emperor players, went public through a backdoor listing, and planned to take back everything that belonged to them at the negotiation table.

From Mandala's perspective, he and Gao Xin are Qingdi players.

If the other party also sends a Qingdi player during the negotiation, it will be very likely that there will be only Qingdi players in the diplomatic square! Then can't we negotiate however we want?

They all thought it was a good idea, but Gao Xin secretly wiped his sweat.

"Fortunately, I fooled him."

"Li Fengqing didn't notice my weakness..."

Gao Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There was actually a logical flaw in his mechanism for the Dragon King card.

He talked so much, and explained the game mechanics in detail, but in fact he just wanted to explain to Li Fengqing why he couldn't show the cards he had.

In order to confirm his identity, Li Fengqing asked him to reveal a real tiger card, which was a completely reasonable request.

But he doesn’t have it… This is a card of his own level, how can it be justified that he doesn’t have even one?

Gao Xin was outwitted and simply revealed all the easter eggs and Dragon King card mechanisms just to cover up the fact that he did not have the real tiger card.

Those inferences were all correct and could be said to be very accurate, but Gao Xin also took the opportunity to mix in his own agenda...

In other words, 'the combat power card must have never been summoned before in order to breed the Dragon King Card'.

Yes, he made up this condition!
He told countless truths just to successfully implant this one lie into Li Fengqing's brain.

Of course, it's not just made up, there is some possibility.

During settlement, the reward rules require that the card "has not been summoned" can be doubled as a reward coefficient. Gao Xin used this to derive the concept that the Dragon King card must also be unsummoned.

Then he used the reason that Phoenix knew the mechanism and had been hiding the cards as an endorsement.

It can be said that it is completely reasonable.

Coupled with this concept, mixed in with Gao Xin's countless real logics, Li Fengqing believed it directly.

Even Li Fengqing was surprised.

Because he gained so much, the achievements of the easter eggs, the mechanism of the Dragon King card... Gao Xin told him so many good things, all of which were hard-core stuff.

Gao Xin's action made Li Fengqing overlook a serious flaw: since you said that the Easter egg and the Dragon King card mechanism overlap, and collecting nine cards can automatically trigger it, and there is no need to mention it in the rules, then why is there the prerequisite that it must have not been summoned before?
Isn't that contradictory? Wouldn't it be very difficult to find?

Even if the conditions really exist, it would be okay to show the real tiger card, right?
Gao Xin himself is a True Tiger level card. If he wants this card, he can draw it at any time in the Black Emperor's base. What's wrong with wasting one?

Just let him take a look and then draw another one later, right?

This is a flaw in iron logic that Gao Xin cannot explain.

He is just too unlucky. He has tried so many times but never got a card of his own level. What can he do?
But fortunately, he can make up for this bad luck through his actions.

After all, logic is logic and human heart is human heart.

Li Fengqing's attention was completely attracted by the other things Gao Xin said. At this moment, he was still thinking about how powerful Gao Xin was. How could he think about his original purpose? He just wanted to take a look at Gao Xin's real tiger card?

He just made a small request, but Gao Xin threw a big gift package in his face, and the logic overwhelmed him.

Not to mention that Gao Xin might be a Black Emperor player, even if he is not, Li Fengqing still wants to team up with him!

It’d better be, it must be, it has to be even if it’s not!

As long as he hopes in his heart that Gao Xin is his teammate, his brain will automatically ignore the details in Gao Xin's words that are not conducive to "he is his teammate".

This is the basic principle of 'love brain'.

It’s not only women who have love brains, and it’s not only when you are in love that you have love brains.

……

In the following period of time, the two sides began a tug-of-war.

They are all concentrated on the left wing of the White Empire and the right wing of the Black Empire, and these two strongholds are fighting against each other.

Gao Xin went back to guard the main city with Sivina, leaving Mandala and Li Fengqing to defend the left wing of the White Empire.

As long as they have two people, the opponent can only send one person to attack, which is a natural disadvantage.

As soon as Gao Xin left, Black Pearl rushed over and fought two against one.

She summoned a Truth Card to help, but Mandragora also had a Truth Card. Li Fengqing was in the stronghold of his own camp and had just drawn a Truth Card steadily.

Therefore, Black Pearl not only fought one against two, but Combat Power Card also fought one against two, and eventually he was seriously injured and retreated.

Mandala gave chase and was also ambushed.

As soon as he came out of the passage, he was ambushed by a great white shark, broke one of his arms, and returned seriously injured.

Then a great white shark chased after them.

This process was repeated and the national war lasted for another ten minutes.

Everyone drew the fifth round of combat power cards, and Gao Xin had to draw two random cards, so there were five cards at the moment.

They are tiger cub, sub-tiger, baby elephant, sub-elephant and sub-dragon.

Yes, the last two cards drawn were the Asian elephant and the Asian dragon. Gao Xin felt that he finally got good cards.

Especially Asian Dragon, finally in the fifth round, this powerful high-combat card appeared.

No player can match the combat power of Yalong Card, which is at least equivalent to the combat power of three potential dragons.

However, he didn't want to use any of these five cards because none of them were duplicates.

If he wants to meet the Easter egg requirements as quickly as possible and breed the Dragon King card, he must keep one card of each level.

In addition, the dragon card is not invincible.

Apart from anything else, Sivina already has five Hidden Dragon cards, plus her own, the power of six dragons, even the Asian dragon cannot withstand it.

Of course these are teammates, but Black Pearl and Phoenix are also hidden dragons, and they must have one or two hidden dragon cards on hand.

Including humans and cards, the fighting power of four or five dragons is definitely enough, and their combined strength is enough to destroy his dragon angel.

If it is destroyed, it will be difficult for Gao Xin to get the Yalong Card again.

"This Asian dragon card is my most precious card. With it, I am not far from the Easter egg."

Gao Xin looked at his lineup and found that the assortment was very good.

The only four cards left to achieve the goal of collecting all nine types are the True Tiger, True Elephant, Hidden Dragon and True Dragon.

It looks like a lot more to do, but it’s actually quite simple!
Because Zhenhu is of his own level, he can just occupy a stronghold and swipe.

The True Elephant is at the level of the quasi-elephant kings present. It is also a stable card and has appeared many times.

The same goes for Qian Long. There are five of Sivina alone.

In other words, Gao Xin can get these cards with a stable source from others as long as he brings them to the negotiation table.

The only thing he really lacks is the True Dragon Card!
"Everything is ready, except for the real dragon."

"Whatever. It's a bit too much to expect it to appear in the first national war. If someone else appears first, it might ruin my plan."

"It's time to stop the war."

……

PS: Sorry. I never thought that this game would be too complicated. What is so complicated about it? This is simpler than all other games except cat and mouse. This is the game I have tried my best to make the readers understand. It is not complicated and corresponds to the main plot. The design itself can support multiple games with different results. It can be played directly as a board game. I originally wanted to write about national war games in the future. I scratched my head and never thought that this one would be complicated. It is so simple, okay? You definitely can't understand it without reading the rules. Okay, I won't write about games in the future.
