The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1177 Super Card Draw (Part 1)

On this interface, you can't see each other's figures, nor can you see the card-drawing action.

After a while, a hand wearing a black lace glove appeared in the card-playing area.

Slender and graceful hand shape.

The hand held a card between its middle and index fingers, gently setting it down with exquisite elegance.

However, Liu Sheng didn't care about this showy gesture.

She was more concerned about the card—

It was a character card, a dark, blurry humanoid figure, quite unique, but it was impossible to tell who it was.

The person on the other end was fiddling with their hand, seemingly wanting the character to use a skill, but the host immediately pointed out:

"Hey, don't be impatient! The character can't move during the first round after entering the game."

"Oh, is that so? Then let's end this round."

Liu Sheng narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtfully at the action points on the other side that had been reduced to "0".

It was her turn.

The hourglass on the table turned automatically, and the sand flowed.

Liu Sheng drew a card first.

[Lightning Chain Card]: Releases a chain of electric arcs, each dealing 1 damage, and can jump to up to 6 targets.

The intricate patterns flowed with delicate light under the screen's illumination, and tiny arcs of electricity danced between the patterns, as if jumping to the fingertips. A slight tingling sensation traveled along the arm and shoulder, all the way to the head.

Liu Sheng was startled.

A vague, indescribable feeling arose in her mind, but it was only a trace, like a slippery fish in a pond, which she couldn't quite grasp yet.

The quicksand flows relentlessly onward.

She now has four cards in total:
[Willow Plough], [Frozen Card], [Orchid], [Lightning Chain Card].

Her [Liu Sheng] card is on the field by default.

There are three cards in your hand.

If she doesn't play other character cards, then her character card is being directly attacked.

The host has already made it clear.

When her character card says "death," it means she's really dead.

The other characters' cards—given Gaowei's style, they might have some hidden influence, but at least on the surface they haven't reached the point of card cancellation and death.

In this game, character cards are both the defensive line and the basic combat force.

no way.

Liu Sheng placed the [Orchid] card in the play area.

Zhang Lan's entire face drooped down, as if she were fast asleep—indicating that she was still dormant and unable to move.

There is also an action point.

However, both of her skills are passive. [Orchid] has 33 HP, while hers has 22 HP and also has an immunity effect.

There wasn't much else we could do.

You can only end this round before the hourglass runs out of time.

It's the other person's turn.

The shadowy card finally started moving.

It appeared behind Zhang Lan's character card as a cloud of black mist, then disappeared, as if a blurry shadow had appeared behind the [Orchid] card.

Liu Sheng tentatively tried to touch it with her hand—

"You can't touch the cards in the play area until it's your turn!" the host reminded with a smile.

The person on the other end said with a smile, "And don't even think about it. This is an ability you can't interfere with. Just wait and see."

Liu Sheng's eyes turned slightly cold.

This character's attack methods even have a latency period, so once activated, they could cause tremendous damage.

But there were no further moves, and the opponent's turn ended again.

Action points have been depleted to "0" again.

Liu Sheng's gaze lingered on the number for a long time before finally turning away.

Now it's her turn to draw cards again.

This time, she drew an ability card.

[Ability Card]: Can add one ability to a character.

It's a pity she didn't draw any character cards—clearly, in this game, getting as many character cards as possible early on is crucial to establishing an advantage.

Liu Sheng's gaze fell on [Orchid] and [Liu Sheng].

The card 【Orchid】indicates a control skill that can entangle the opponent for one turn, preventing them from acting, and a passive skill, "Thorn Guardian," which deals 1 HP damage to the opponent when attacked at close range.

As for Liu Sheng herself, she still has the same few skill options.

After thinking it over, she finally chose "Thorn Guardian".

A ring of thorns appears on the image of the orchid.

It looks like the opponent is about to attack [Orchid]. It would be good if we could counterattack a little and exchange some damage.

Next, Liu Sheng took out the [Frozen Card], preparing to attack the opponent's character.

That character is a bit strange.

In the first two rounds, it was impossible to tell what skills the opponent used just by looking at the field.

Although it might be a passive skill like Liu Sheng's—in which case the freeze effect wouldn't be prevented—it's clear that passive skills don't consume points.

This indicates that it is some kind of active skill.

It can even be used multiple times in one round.

Liu Sheng still remembers what the host said—

"Generally speaking, a character can only use a skill once per round."

In other words, there are still exceptions.

That's very likely the case with the other party.

I just don't know what the effect of that skill will be, so just in case, I'd better control it for one round first.

While it says you can't attack directly, it doesn't say you can't apply status effects!

Let's give it a try and see.

Liu Sheng's gaze fell on the frozen card.

The patterns on it are interwoven, and the light flashes by, like tiny ice crystals reflecting fragments of light.

The light was faint.

But it reflected a wisp of light that landed in Liu Sheng's mind.

It sparked a glimmer of understanding.

When looking at the [Lightning Chain Card], I still couldn't quite grasp this feeling.

When Liu Sheng looked at that [Ability Card] just now, it felt even more blurry, because the patterns on it were tens of millions of times more complex than those two cards.

But now this realization connects to her memory of the pattern on that ability card.

Lines flowed through her mind, sketching beautiful shapes, full of dimensional space and the beauty of surging energy.

So beautiful.

And it has a sense of familiarity.

Liu Sheng almost wanted to stay immersed in it forever.

But the hourglass showed that time was running out.

She can only play this card first.

The patterns on the card instantly transformed into a crystalline stream of icy energy, shooting straight towards the card opposite and freezing it solid.

It actually works!
Liu Sheng heard a low curse coming from the other end of the line.

This has likely disrupted the other side's plans.

Then Liu Sheng had the orchid release its "Spider Vine" ability.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to attack the character hiding in the shadows, and the main character of the opposing side could not be attacked either, so the Manslaying attack landed in vain.

Time's up.

Liu Sheng's action points are 0.

It's the opponent's turn.

First, the shadow finally erupted, delivering a vicious backstab to [Orchid]—

【-twenty four】

Fortunately, I had immunity once.

The shadow, having lost 1 health due to [Thorn Protection], returned to its original faction's play zone with a slight injury.

Because this skill involves pre-planning, it does not consume action points.

The opponent still has 4 points.

A soft, cold laugh was heard.

"You're very clever, thinking of freezing me—but it's too late."

"Although I can't use my skills, I can still play cards."

Then, Liu Sheng watched helplessly as the opponent played three character cards in a row—

A pink-haired woman dressed as a shrine maiden, with bright red mechanical eyes and six mechanical arms behind her. A woman with a gentle and kind smile, dressed in an elegant kimono, with her hands clasped together as if in prayer.

There was another woman with a black princess-cut hairstyle, striking red lips, and a black bodysuit.

Upon seeing the card, Liu Sheng finally knew who it was.

Isn't that Rize Kirigiri?

After all, we had fought once and chatted a few times.

Moreover, the other person was exceptionally good-looking, which is why Liu Sheng remembered him clearly.

As for the others—

Liu Sheng matched the information about the Kirigakure family in his mind one by one:
That shadowy figure was Kirigiri Rise's younger brother, Kirigiri Muneshige.

The older sister excels at assassinations through mirrors, while the younger brother is skilled at assassinations in the shadows; it's hard to say who is more cunning.

No one knows what he looks like, because he is always in the shadow of someone else—either his sister or the person he is about to assassinate.

The pink-haired one is Hananoin Kazune, whose mechanical eyes and six mechanical arms are very distinctive.

She was once a shrine maiden of the Hananoin family and possessed extremely strong combat abilities.

Six arms can do many things—

However, he is not as good as Liu Sheng.

The "prayer" and the "cloaked man" were probably later merged into the Mist Village family, so Liu Sheng didn't know who they were, and their characteristics weren't very distinct.

Of course, it's also possible that Rize Kirigiri deliberately kept something a secret when explaining it to her.

But Liu Sheng didn't care about that; what he cared about was—

Why do they have so many characters on hand?

In this game, the earlier a character enters the game and the more characters you have, the sooner you can seize the initiative.

Despite knowing this, Liu Sheng never drew another role, so even if she wanted to, she couldn't.

Moreover, as soon as [Kirigiri Rise] entered the field, she was able to act immediately and launched a close-range attack on [Ranana].

This time, there's no immunity.

【-twenty four】

31 HP remaining.

However, [Kirigiri Rise] also took damage, losing 1 HP.

However, it only has 1 HP.

It's now quite clear that the opposing side has secured their position.

If Liu Sheng still can't draw a character card in the next round, then [Orchid] will be the target of all attacks.

I estimate that we can take down [Orchid] in two or three rounds. As long as Liu Sheng still can't draw the character, victory is not far away.

unless--

"How about that?" The other party was also very smug, chuckling, "It's a good thing you couldn't choose to commit suicide and surrender, otherwise I wouldn't be able to continue drawing cards and accumulating my prizes."

draw card.

These two words flashed through Liu Sheng's mind like a bolt of lightning.

Now it was her turn again.

Liu Sheng stared at the stack of cards, her thoughts racing—

She only had one card in her hand.

The opponent didn't play any cards in the previous round, so including the ones they just drew, they should have at most four cards in their hand this round.

Are three of the four cards character cards?

Such a high probability?

Liu Sheng tried drawing a card.

My heart sank.

It's still not a character card.

[Hero's Horn]: All friendly characters receive a comprehensive buff this turn—defense, attack, health recovery, and skill effects are increased by 100%.

This card is definitely a good card in the show. If you can get it, it will be a great weapon in a life-or-death battle.

However, in this situation, especially when Liu Sheng has not yet gained a numerical advantage and [Orchid] is the only attacking unit, its effectiveness is too low.

Since this deck contains cards that can be drawn from treasure chests, it must be incredibly large; just looking at its thickness, there are nearly a hundred cards.

To draw a single character's card from the "New World" deck, there are six unknown characters besides her, with a probability of less than 6%.

The number of unknowns in the Kirigakure family should be less than theirs.

The odds are even lower.

With such a small chance, how could the other party encounter such a thing, and even have "good luck" one after another?
Liu Sheng didn't believe in such a coincidence.

She only believes in probability.

It's obvious that the opponent's skill is related to "card drawing".

Liu Sheng tried to reach out and touch the stack of cards.

There was an invisible resistance that prevented her from touching it.

This prevents her from drawing cards again.

However, the opponent may very well be able to draw cards again, or even draw cards in a targeted manner!

Liu Sheng knew that there was only one person on the planet Banlanxing with such abilities—

Lu Zhaoming, the "card master".

Not long ago she was with the Izetta Foundation, it seems that after Izetta's downfall, she joined the Kirigakure family.

The reason Gao Wei selected her for the game might be because she used her additional abilities to draw cards, thus disrupting the balance of the program.

There is another reason—

Gao Wei disliked Liu Sheng, so he sent someone with an advantage in card drawing to play a "card game" with her and punish her.

Based on this, the latter seems more likely.

[If it's the former, wouldn't Gaowei also want to kill her? Why would he let her participate in a game where she has a significant advantage?]

Liu Sheng sneered inwardly.

Now I understand why the other person made that low sound when I mentioned "card game".

It seems like they can't contain their cheers.

Since she's being targeted, she has to find another way. If she continues to play by the rules, her disadvantage will only grow.

Liu Sheng rubbed the two cards in her hand.

She doesn't have many options.

You could even say there's only one.

Her gaze was slightly cold.

The beautiful and intricate lines on the card reflected a golden interweaving on her iris.

……

The person opposite him was indeed "Card Master" Lu Zhaoming.

She was also stunned when she was pulled into the game.

Hearing the charge of "disrupting the balance" sent a chill down my spine.

She was well aware of whether she had done anything to "disrupt the balance".

But then again—

Because her additional abilities are inherently related to cards!
-
【Name】：Fate Deck
[Type]: Lu Zhaoming's exclusive skill

[Quality]: Legendary
【Effect】:
(1) The Destiny deck is automatically shuffled once every 24 hours, generating 30 cards for this round from the Destiny deck.

The Destiny deck contains almost every possible skill, from basic attacks, defenses, and healing, to field effects, rule interference, and even unique law cards, all of which can appear in card form.

Each card is removed from the deck after being used and may reappear after the next shuffle. UR cards are an exception.

Card rarity is tiered as follows:

N (Normal): Basic skills, accounting for about 70%, including low-level attacks, basic defense, short-range evasion, simple healing, enhanced perception, physical enhancement, etc.

R (Rare): Intermediate-tier skills, accounting for approximately 20%, including area-of-effect attacks, intermediate-tier shields, short-range movement, single-target control, continuous healing, attribute enhancement, trap placement, and intermediate-tier summons.

SR (Super Rare): High-level skills, accounting for approximately 8%, including wide-range attacks, advanced healing, group buffs, strong group control, high-level summons, and field expansion.

SSR (Legendary): Ultra-high-level skills that can briefly interfere with the rules, but usually have a limited range, accounting for about 2%, including gravity deflection, spatial rift, time delay, causal avoidance, and short-term version of absolute defense.

UR (Unique): Law Card, the ultimate rarity above Legendary, with only one card in a deck. Each UR card corresponds to a unique concept capable of "turning the tide of battle, annihilating a god in one blow, and rewriting the course of the game."

Once a single UR card is drawn and confirmed for use, it will be permanently removed from the deck and will no longer be involved in subsequent shuffling.

(2) Obtained through active prayer: card draw
Regular gacha pulls – consume basic Faith points to randomly draw cards from N to UR. Probability follows a rarity distribution.

Targeted draw – Consumes more Faith to lock a specific rarity level (e.g., "at least SR") or a specific category (e.g., "healing"), and then draws a random card. It is not possible to lock a specific single card.

Ultimate Card Draw – Consumes extremely high Faith Points to temporarily increase the probability of drawing high-rarity cards.

(3) Actively request to obtain: Fate Exchange
When you draw a card you are not satisfied with, you can burn extra Faith at the moment of drawing the card to activate "Fate Exchange", which removes the card you just drew from your deck for this round and randomly draws another card.

note:

Each time this skill is used, the amount of Faith consumed will increase.

Consecutive swaps compress the remaining space in the deck. Although the chance of drawing the target card increases, the total number of cards also decreases until the next shuffle.

[Consumption]: Using a card consumes the corresponding energy. Active Prayer skills consume Faith Points. When Faith Points are insufficient, they can be replenished by sacrificing believers or burning the deck owner's Spirit, Life Force, Luck, etc.

[Comment]: Believe that the next one will always be the best.

The rule has been changed so that when the player wins, all cards in both players' hands will belong to the winner.
