National destiny: Global tower climbing skills have decreased by 10,000 times.

In this round, Lin Xi had exceptionally good luck. He caught "Compression" and "Kernel Acceleration" in the first three monsters, and then got "Overclocking" in the "Choose One of Five" reward.

Upon arriving at the first shop, Lin Xi used the few gold coins he didn't intend to spend to buy the "Rocket Fist" card in the corner. On the way back, he successively drew a few more status-enhancing cards, and his deck gradually took shape.

Looking at these cards, Lin Xi's confidence reached its peak. With the 'state machine' constructed, he felt like he had stepped into his comfort zone.

—The various experiences accumulated during the previous week's intensive training flashed through my mind like a slideshow, and my proficiency gradually increased.

Du Feiyang and Jin Ying continued to pursue closely, taking the lead from the start thanks to their superior understanding and speed.

But as Lin Xi's card deck became more and more complete, his speed gradually increased, and by the time they reached the third campfire, Lin Xi had caught up with the two of them.

"Hey, Coach Zhou, who do you think will be in the top three? I'll bet three more rounds of Longhua bets. If you guess wrong, I'll add another round. Want to play?" This was Coach Shen.

"I'm not playing. Old Zhang hasn't paid his three-way guarantee from the last round yet." This was Coach Zhou.

"No, you really want to? If that's the case, who could have guessed that number 27 would suddenly squeeze in? Didn't you all guess Du Feiyang would be second? How come mine is the only one who counts?" This was Coach Zhang.

"If you ask me, Jin Ying should still be first, Du Feiyang second, and Lü Si third." This was Coach Lu's opinion.

"Look at Lu Si's choices this round. First, he picked 'Golden Pearl' from the shop, then picked 'Electric Discharge', then he drew 'Barrage', and then there just happened to be a 'Expand' in the shop. It's like he knew it in advance," a coach said.

"Yes, I've been watching Lü Si's game for a long time; it's very solid."

"He made the right choices at every crucial moment; you could say he performed exceptionally well," another coach said.

"Hmm, commendable. It seems that Lü Si has indeed achieved some results after so much training."

"I hope he can become the dark horse and represent our organization on a bigger stage," Coach Lu said.

Du Feiyang defeated another powerful monster, and looking at the 'Glacier' card in the reward card, he grabbed it with satisfaction.

"Heh heh, finally caught an ice hockey ball. Now I have all the ice hockey balls, electric balls, and glass balls."

He looked up at the large screen displaying the progress; Jin Ying was still fighting the previous powerful monster and was slightly slower than him. Number 27 had just arrived at the third campfire. Although their routes were different, their progress was not far apart, and they were even neck and neck.

He glanced at Lü Si again, who was taking a completely different route, but this time he seemed to be doing very well, barely losing any health along the way.

"You guys can keep climbing slowly. You're still a long way from catching up with me!" Du Feiyang muttered to himself, then picked up the mouse again and continued to progress through the levels.

After several students had finished defeating the first level boss, the coaches began to re-guess the rankings for this round.

"I'm telling you, don't bother guessing this time. I'm telling you, Du Feiyang is first, Jin Ying is second, and Lü Si is third. It's a done deal. You'll see!" This was Coach Zhang.

"Hey, Coach Zhang, you said the same thing last time. How many packs of Longhua are you going to bet this time?" This was Coach Zhou.

"Old Zhou, you know what, this time Lu Si really has something going for him, and Du Feiyang has been leading the whole time, which is different from the last game." This is Coach Shen.

"Du Feiyang and Jin Ying are indeed fast," the young coach said.

"But that number 27... is following closely too."

Coach Lu pulled up Lin Xi's card deck and looked at each card one by one:

"High-speed escape, overclocking, kernel acceleration, rocket punch..."

His brow furrowed: "This deck... what exactly is he trying to do?"

Coach Wang scoffed, "Just messing around! What else can you do? I've explained these cards countless times in class. If you get too caught up in a lot of situations, you'll get stuck with them. Try to draw as few as possible."

"Then tell me,"

"Who will be in the top three this round?" Coach Zhang took out a pack of Longhua cigarettes and weighed it in his hand.

"I think Du Feiyang is first, Jin Ying is second, and this number 27 is third," Coach Zhou said.

"Number 27?" Coach Wang's voice rose a few octaves. "If he can make it into the top three, I'll treat all of you to a Longhua lottery."

Coach Zhang laughed: "Huh? Brother Wang, you said it yourself."

Coach Wang said firmly, "I said it, just you wait and see."

In the back row of the audience, the chef leaned close to Ye Fei's ear and whispered:

"Brother, this round seems a bit tricky. Look at these guys, who's the most likely to win?"

Ye Fei leaned back in his chair, his gaze falling on window number 27. A slight, unintentional smirk appeared on his lips before he looked away.

"I don't know. We'll see how things go."

The cook, oblivious to Ye Fei's gaze, continued his analysis: "I think Du Feiyang and Jin Ying will definitely get in, but the third one is hard to say."

"That player number 27 had some luck in the last round. Although he was fast this time too, something just feels off compared to the others..."

Ye Fei didn't reply, his gaze never leaving window number 27.

Ye Fei didn't reply, his gaze never leaving window number 27.

After defeating the first boss, they passed through a shop. By this time, Lin Xi's deck had been streamlined to sixteen cards, with all the core components in place.

In the store, he looked at a "reuse" sign, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to buy it.

"Good sense of simplification; it seems he's slowly grasping it," Ye Fei thought to himself.

He roughly calculated that after removing two or three more cards, the entire deck would be fully formed. In the absence of other ways to remove cards, "reuse" is the best option.

Once a few more cards are removed, the entire deck's operation will form a closed loop, and card play will be like a continuous stream that never stops.

On the other side of the spectator room, the coaches were discussing amongst themselves.

"I think he's just messing around!" Coach Wang looked very angry.

Lin Xi's page was now placed in the center of the screen, and several coaches gathered around to look at it.

"Just this one 'reuse' card, I've said it so many times in class: inferior quality, extra charge! Inferior quality, extra charge! And it's very unstable across rounds," Coach Wang shouted.

"Sigh, yeah, why did he choose this card when there were so many good cards in the store? I even bet on it, I'm so disappointed!" This was Coach Zhou.

"Hahaha, Coach Zhou, even you can misjudge people sometimes. This Lin Xi is obviously just a lucky accident. Just wait and see what happens at Longhua." This was Coach Shen.

"Wait a minute, let's take another look. Where are they now?" Coach Lu asked.

"We've basically reached the second boss," another coach replied.

Soon, the second boss's health had dropped to more than half.

After several rounds of operation, Lin Xi has already used "Reuse" to delete three cards, while accumulating a large number of status cards.

In this very round, after drawing an "Overclock" card, another "Compression+" card was drawn, along with a large number of status cards in hand.

"It's time," Ye Fei thought to himself, looking at the screen. Then, he watched as a 'Compression+' card was used, and all the status cards in his hand turned into 'Fuel+'.

Immediately, a commotion also broke out from the coach's side:

"What kind of move is this? Look at number 27, what's going on with his hand?"

"Huh? Did some kind of bug occur? How many cards did he play this turn?"

"Seven... eight... wait, is he still playing?"

"..."

Ye Fei chuckled softly, leaned back in his chair, and watched the number 27 boss's health bar steadily dwindle on the big screen. He knew...

—We've already won this round.

Just then, Ye Fei's phone rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at the screen:
