Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

Rest, recover health, and check the portal to the next level.

He called out Old Zhang's name twice towards the door, but there was no response. It seemed that Old Zhang had gone to the tenth floor before him.

He just doesn't know if he'll be able to meet Old Zhang again once he reaches the tenth floor.

No one could be sure that he and Lao Zhang would enter the same tenth floor again.

Instead of rushing to the next level, Chen Mo and the others recovered some of their energy and then continued searching for corpses in the forest to replenish their health.

Once his blood had recovered sufficiently, he left the large wooden gate and headed towards the village.

He clearly remembered that the leader monster and the giant beast had wreaked havoc in the village, so the village should be full of gold coins and cards by now.

Aren't you going to pick it up?

That would be a complete waste.

Waste is shameful!

A few hours later, Chen Mo arrived at the village.

It has to be said that the boss monster and the giant beast were truly ruthless; not a single villager was left for Chen Mo. All that could be seen were broken pieces of wood, craters all over the ground, and ashes from the fire.

Go ahead and look for it!

There are gold coins, of course; just keep searching.

The cards are there, but you need to look for them more carefully.

Chen Mo suddenly felt that he was not here to climb the tower, but more like to "collect scraps".

There's no other way, I'll just have to pick up trash, it's better than risking my life every day.

I'll collect a few gold coins and try my luck at the lottery. I'll stock up on potatoes, green vegetables, eggplants, cucumbers, and the like, since I still have enough inventory space in my backpack.

If you collect a few more gold coins, you might as well draw a big one.

After handing over ten gold coins, Chen Mo immediately drew a... pork knuckle.

It's still raw, does this count as cashing out?

Returning to the location of the flesh and blood statue in the forest that evening, Chen Mo gathered some wood to roast a pork knuckle while taking stock of his spoils.

I collected about two hundred gold coins in the village. There might be some I missed, but it was too much trouble, and I didn't want to go back to turning over stones and digging through wood.

Three white cards were produced, all of which were unusable. They were all burned, which was a good opportunity to refine and upgrade his white cards.

The black card, a forbidden upgrade, was taken out, and the three white cards quickly burned out in his hand.

Upgrading a Refining Card to a Blue Card naturally improves its effects, but Chen Mo didn't quite understand it.

Dark Refining: Refine special items into rare potions.

The upgrade from "common" potion to "rare" potion seems significant.

However, Chen Mo has obtained too few potions so far that he can't distinguish between rare and common potions.

He felt that all the medicines were effective and easy to use.

It's a pity, it would be great if we could upgrade the potion slots!

Gnawing on the braised pork knuckle, the oil sizzling and dripping, one bite, and the feeling of eating meat is truly wonderful.

Back on Earth, Chen Mo didn't actually like eating braised pork knuckle; it was too greasy.

Now he understands what it means to "find romance in a bite of pork knuckle rice".

While leisurely munching on his pork knuckle, Chen Mo wondered if he should draw some more supplies.

He urgently needs something like a tent. With the statue of the deity there, he doesn't need to worry too much about safety. He just wants to sleep in a tent so he won't be bothered by mosquitoes.

Let's try our luck; we still have plenty of coins.

Chen Mo glanced at the gold coins in his backpack; the amount had already exceeded a thousand.

To be honest, his current amount of gold coins is definitely at the level of a tycoon within the tower. But apart from spending them at the mysterious merchant's place, Chen Mo hasn't used them much.

It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that I can't bear to use it.

Okay... that sounds like stinginess.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Mo decided to splurge today and try three times. If he couldn't draw anything after three tries, he would give up.

You can draw regular supplies for 20 gold coins each time.

It's all about the thrill, the "heart-pounding" feeling.

Let's draw!

Wow, that was fast! I got gold on the very first try, real gold!

The watch is drowning in the flood...

24K pure gold would be very valuable on Earth. But here, it's not even worth as much as a pig's trotter.

Chen Mo frowned as he looked at it; this thing would take up a backpack slot.

I wanted to throw it away but couldn't bear to, so I decided to just wear it.

Wearing a watch over the arm armor is a new look.

Anyway, a watch is still a good thing; it can be used as a timekeeping tool.

Draw again.

I pulled out a magazine for the second time.

The cover features a scantily clad woman, so scantily clad she looks like she's just posing for photos with two straps hanging from her chest at the airport.

What's this below? Is it a pair of shorts?

This thing cost me twenty gold coins?

Isn't that a bit too much?

I need to throw it into my backpack right away.

Chen Mo should be viewed critically.

The third time, and also the last time Chen Mo restricted himself, was that if he couldn't draw anything good this time, he would give up.

You can't keep drawing lots endlessly, or you'll fall into the trap of lottery games.

On the last draw, a miracle happened in a single pull!

Suddenly, a large object appeared in his hand.

It was two meters long and one and a half meters wide, a huge mattress, a high-end brand one at that.

Chen Modu laughed.

Okay, I didn't get the tent, but this will do.

Just put it on the ground, lie down on it, isn't this just like going home?

So be it!

Can this thing be put in a backpack compartment?

Chen Mo lay there, still deep in thought, when he opened the trading mall and, looking at the empty message area, quietly posted a message.

"Is anyone chatting?"

There was no response; loneliness mirrored Chen Mo's own heart.

……

Nothing happened that night. The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

Chen Mo began to farm gold coins and cards on the ninth floor as much as possible, and also to test the newly acquired "damage reflection card" to see how effective it was.

Good news! The counter-damage card works well; the melee damage reflection is quite powerful. Although it still doesn't benefit from the tearing effect, 10 points of counter-damage are enough to make small monsters struggle to withstand it, and they might even hesitate to attack it recklessly. Chen Mo thinks that the damage from the counter-damage might actually come from the opponent, which is why it doesn't benefit from the tearing effect, which is a pity.

Bad news: there are too few monsters on level nine.

Especially after the villagers were all killed, Chen Mo could hardly find any decent monsters.

The remaining corpses in the woods had all hidden themselves, becoming increasingly difficult to find. Spending an afternoon wandering around yielded only two gold coins, a meager reward that couldn't even compare to the tomatoes Chen Mo had eaten.

All the monsters you can find should come to the snow mountain. The problem is that although there are many demons on the snow mountain, they come in groups, making it very difficult to fight them. Not only do they give you little gold, but they also don't drop any cards.

After spending a day dealing with them, Chen Mo felt it was still a losing proposition. He might as well go look for any hidden corrupt cultists or villagers.

The Corrupted Cultist consistently drops blue cards; that's what makes a "good monster," but unfortunately, it's really hard to find one.

Chen Mo spent another day searching for a wooden cabin deep in the forest.

After killing the villagers and getting a few gold coins, I discovered that the wooden house was probably a research facility for corrupt cultists.

All sorts of random things, incomprehensible runes, and even books collected by corrupt cultists.

It's hard to imagine that knowledge is passed down inside the tower.

Chen Mo opened the book and was immediately stunned by the first sentence.

"From the moment you enter the tower, corruption begins. There is no escape, no purification, no reversal, only the final destination of death."
