I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 582 The Fall of Wenchang (16)

As we all know, when a skill looks like a card draw, works like a card draw, and has the same effect, it is very likely that it is a card-printing game.

If players in the Great Qian World have played Yu-Gi-Oh!, they'll know what kind of monster Chen Yu added.

With this skill, players can only prioritize killing the summoned creatures under the masked man's command and cannot directly attack the masked man.

Once a non-player character is defeated, the masked man will enter "card-drawing mode" and start "drawing cards" while also randomly drawing cards from players.

Of course, Chen Yu didn't play that underhanded; he didn't include cards like the "Tears of the Underworld" deck because players lacked relevant experience.

Therefore, Chen Yu only used the standard version, but modified many cards. Moreover, it only included the initial Tribute Summon and Fusion Summon, and added some special rules.

The most important rule is to address the changes made for this event.

That is "card time".

This rule was a village regulation that Chen Yu and his friends established when playing cards. Because in their previous life, there were too many card effects, which meant that once activated, it would take two and a half minutes of chanting and indexing before the opponent was wiped out in one fell swoop, making the game experience completely unenjoyable.

Therefore, they stipulated that each person would take a timer, which would start counting from the beginning of the round, and each person would only have fifteen seconds to activate the effect; exceeding the time limit would result in skipping the effect.

If an opponent's trap card is triggered, the opponent starts a timer and activates the trap, then expresses its effect, also within fifteen seconds.

Once this restriction is added, the ability to precisely control one's time becomes an important indicator. Too long a chain reaction cannot be included, otherwise it is easy to suffocate oneself.

Now, in order to limit the masked man's full power, Chen Yu has made some changes to the "card time".

The masked man's card draw has a cooldown period, and there's an activation time when he plays his cards. If you aim for these two times, there's a way to defeat him.

In addition, there are many other hidden features of the masked man and his companions, waiting for players to discover.

After this transformation, the event instance becomes a large-scale battle, with each game day's battles becoming a large-scale card game, materializing this calamity.

The player's task then becomes figuring out how to unlock cards and seal the masked man's skills, making everyone's actions more targeted.

Using his administrator account, Chen Yu descended upon Wenchang City to observe the upcoming battle as a spectator.

As expected of Zhuge Xingjun, after discovering that the four annihilation cannons could only force out one of the opponent's cards, he decisively changed direction, brandished his sword, and shouted: "Prepare the formation!"

The formation comes from "Immortal Clan". Multiple players can consume materials to cast a formation within a certain range, which will bring different buffs or debuffs.

The more people who cast the formation, the fewer people who benefit from it, and the stronger the formation's effect.

There is also a certain marginal effect. According to calculations, Zhuge Xingjun calculated that four hundred players working together with one hundred body cultivators can achieve the best results.

Now, a hundred body cultivators stand in the formation, and other players begin to set up formations to enhance their strength.

Not far away, players of "The Big Capitalist" began rolling dice.

Different dice have different random effects, and you can only throw them if you have a certain amount of resources on you.

With a bit of luck, you can turn a gray item into a red one, or give it a better quality.

If you're unlucky, you might die on the spot, and all your supplies will be destroyed, making you a character with both huge positive and negative consequences.

Players kept dying on the spot, but others kept succeeding. After nearly a thousand players sacrificed their lives, a light but perfectly rated red piece of equipment was forged and delivered to the leader of the physical cultivators.

The healers began applying their final buffs, and the support players, having finished, boarded the last train and left. The once bustling academy was now reduced to a mere thousand people. Looking at Zhuge Xingjun in the center, someone advised, "Guild Leader Zhuge, you should leave too. We can handle things here."

"If I leave, who will take charge of you?" Zhuge Xingjun said with a smile. "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

He is the incarnation of Wenchang Xingjun, and naturally inherited some of Wenchang Xingjun's characteristics and abilities.

Wisdom requires practice; wisdom without practice is merely a castle in the air, impossible to realize.

Practice also requires wisdom. Practice without wisdom is just a repetition of the same thing a thousand times, and no more content can be extracted from it.

Looking back at Wenchang City in his dream, Zhuge Xingjun could feel the effort he had poured into it and hoped that it could be preserved.

Unfortunately, they couldn't stay.

Since that's the case, then let's fight for our ideal homeland to the very last moment and demonstrate our benevolence and righteousness through our actions.

With this thought in mind, death and destruction become insignificant. His own age seemed to increase at that moment, giving Zhuge Xingjun an instant enlightenment.

(Chen Yu, thank you.)
Silently expressing his gratitude, Zhuge Xingjun raised his head and saw that the black-clad Prince Zhao had already arrived with a whoosh, and the masked man behind him was holding cards ready to be used.

The power of the formation began to activate, and negative effects surrounded Prince Zhao and the others. Invisible chains bound them together, and the players from Wenchang City launched a desperate charge against the enemy.

With his eyes glued to the battlefield, Zhuge Xingjun recorded all the masked man's actions and extracted and analyzed his true intentions and abilities.

"The masked man will begin to move after a non-player character is defeated."

"The opponent seems to be immune to targeting; all attacks aimed at him are drawn to nearby non-player characters, and the negative effects of the magic circle have no effect on him."

"A card will be drawn every fifteen seconds, but it may not be used. The maximum number of cards drawn is five."

"Cards that can resurrect the dead can only be used once, but apart from that, there seem to be several different cards that can resurrect non-player characters on the field."

"The opponent was covering a card. One of the body cultivators who rushed towards Zhao Ziri was instantly killed as soon as he threw a punch, and the covered card disappeared immediately... I see, the covered card is a card that can only be triggered under certain conditions?"

"interesting."

Fewer and fewer body cultivators remained, but Zhuge Xingjun's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

After close observation, he continuously analyzed the opponent's tactics and recorded the effects of various cards, which he then shared in the live stream for others to reference.

After the last swordsman was also reduced to a bloody mist, Zhuge Xingjun saw that the masked man was standing in front of him, with the almost unharmed black prince Zhao beside him.

Zhuge Xingjun lowered his head and looked longingly at his academy.

Through the nearby smoke of battle, he seemed to see the glory of the past, and with satisfaction, he drew his sword and charged toward Prince Zhao.

The next moment, Zhuge Xingjun was pierced through the chest and died on the spot.

Wenchang City has fallen.
