Chapter 963 Spreadt's Card Game
“If you can’t settle things with me here, I’ll kill you when we get out of here,” Shangguan Yan said expressionlessly, as if declaring an indisputable fact.

Sprite: "Of course I know."

You can correct my attacks, and you can also make my modifications to the wounds never take effect. Although every wound will gradually disappear over time, no wound will ever truly disappear.

Your understanding of hunger is remarkably profound, the most insightful I've ever met.

"You flatter me." Shangguan Yan smiled silently.

“You should know the rules by now. This is only the second time in my life that I have explored this field. After I first comprehended this field, I swore never to use it again, but you have made me break my vow.”

"Oh? That makes me quite curious. Is it because the rules in this field apply fairly to both sides, so you're afraid of losing under the same rules?" Shangguan Yan sneered.

"No, quite the opposite, I have no chance of losing in this field, but I still swear never to use it again, because equality is for all people, and a king should not be bound by those two words."

Others may try to be equal to the king, but the king cannot desire to be equal to others; if he seeks equality, he loses his right to be king,” Spright said calmly.

"Oh? Is that so? You're not just making excuses, are you? If that's really what you're thinking, why have you activated the domain yet?"

If you haven't lied, then you shouldn't break this principle even until you die.

If you ignore that kind of persistence when faced with the threat of death, then what you just said is nothing more than a disguised form of self-praise. Your qualifications to be a king are nothing but self-aggrandizing self-definition.

"And history records that you've expanded your domain more than once," Shangguan Yan said meaningfully.

“Even the judgment of future generations cannot bind me. Come, you are qualified to become part of the legend.” Spright waved his hand, and a pile of playing cards appeared in front of him and Shangguan Yan.

The smile on Shangguan Yan's face vanished; she knew that it was impossible to delay any longer.

Spreadt is not someone whose thoughts can be swayed by linguistic trickery; his will is as firm as steel, and his ideas are unshaken by any factor.

This is really troublesome, Shangguan Yan sighed inwardly.

This field was far too disadvantageous for her; she realized this reality the moment she learned about it.

Sprite's domain effect is to list all of a person's most important things in the form of playing cards.

In any field, consuming these important resources can be used as leverage to attack the opponent.

All attacks are unavoidable damage, and the logic behind its effect is somewhat similar to that of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, directly presenting the result.

"Playing cards are both offensive and defensive; once something is used, it can never be regained. I don't need to explain these rules further, do I?" Sprite spread out his cards.
"Dreams, pursuits, interpersonal relationships, material possessions, regrets, everything one can think of in life is included here. The total amount is the same for everyone, and the score is determined according to the proportion to the individual. There is no distinction based on the amount or strength of individual desires."

This is a game where kings and beggars are equal; everyone's value is equal in my domain, and let's use that to decide the winner.

Shangguan Yan frowned and laid out the cards in his hand.

The contents of the cards kept changing; anything she could think of would appear on them, along with its corresponding score.

Riding in luxury cars, wearing skirts, and eating gourmet food—a single thought can bring about a corresponding cost, and as the imagination deepens, these costs can be further subdivided.

For example, when Shangguan Yan thinks of eating delicious food, the card he plays will become "eating lobster," and the corresponding score will decrease. It's like creating a subcategory from eating delicious food, just like giving change from a large bill.

Shangguan Yan kept thinking, but the scores for these things were extremely low, unbelievably low. At this moment, Sprite spoke up again: "Let me teach you some game tips. After all, it would be too unfair to start playing right away. Since we've chosen to be on equal footing, we should try to be as equal as possible."

You should be able to see the numbers on it. All the numbers on the cards are less than one, but when you add them all up, they equal one. One represents your entire life.

The numbers corresponding to everything described above are absolutely consistent with their value. Some things that you think are very important may have very small numbers, because the judgment in this field is not based on your subjective ideas, but on your desires, the most basic desires that truly constitute your life, the most fundamental things.

Therefore, although the total value is one, no one can go all in; they can only play cards less than 0.1.

Therefore, even if you bet everything, it will take at least ten rounds to finish the game, and the winner is usually decided before that.

In addition, it should be noted that no one can imagine all that they possess.

People tend to generalize about everything by using all that they have, but once it comes to the details of a component, it becomes impossible to list them all.

People might say they have a room, but they can't say how much furniture, flooring, or wood chips are in the room.

Therefore, this card game is also a contest of imagination; the better you understand what you want, the easier it is to find the right cards for the current situation.

Having said that, Spreadt drew a card from his hand.

"I give up seeking retribution from the person who insulted me by name."

A score of 0.05.

Shangguan Yan was stunned, his lips twitched, and he forced a smile: "Hey, are you cheating?"

"You think this is insignificant, right? That's true for you. The rules are absolutely fair."

In my time, there was a saying: "The prime minister's brocade robe is not as valuable as a single grain of dirty rice at the bottom of a beggar's broken bowl."

Even things that a king cares about can sometimes be like this.

Shangguan Yan kept searching for things that deserved to be highlighted, but the things she thought were pretty good received pitifully low scores.

Her hobby of collecting luxury cars and villas, as well as her favorite foods and many other enjoyments that she considers very important, all scored pitifully low!
"Sprite, you are not worthy to call yourself king! This game is completely unfair!" Shangguan Yan said through gritted teeth.

“No, it’s fair, and time is limited.” Sprite pointed to the center of the pale space above, where an hourglass had appeared and was counting down.

Shangguan Yan looked at the cards in his hand, as if he realized something, tried to think for a moment, and then changed the words on the cards.

Dining with Natsumori.

The score is enough.

It can be played, more than enough to deal with Sprite's card, and there will be extra points, enough to cause Sprite unavoidable damage.

Shangguan Yan frowned, adjusted the contents of the card, and slowly drew out the card.
