First-time decryption free? A counter-decryption system!

boom!!

A burst of electricity swept over Zhao Qian, causing his body to convulse, his eyes to turn completely white, and he collapsed to the ground.

[Winner of this round: Lin Wan, who obtains all the cards from Zhao Qian and Shen Qingyi]

This card duel was a foregone conclusion.

Shen Qingyi broke free from the chaotic thunder and fire, her hair disheveled.

But perhaps some special quality had been unlocked on his face, as his smile became very deep.

She hobbled towards Lin Wan, her clothes tattered, her gaze burning as she looked at her.

"This time, I was simply outmatched!"

"We'll meet again someday, though mountains and rivers may separate us!"

After saying that, she glared at Zhao Qian on the ground again, walked forward, and stomped hard on his face with her ash-covered feet:

"You really enjoyed shouting just now!!"

"Was it good?"

"You're the one who's fucking awful!!"

"Fuck your grandpa!!"

Zhao Qian: ......

Lin Wan ignored the two of them and pulled Meng Ke'er toward the purple-gold slot. Once they arrived at the slot, she took out the nine-star card.

The surface of the Nine Stars card features a golden spear.

[Nine-Star Card - Cataclysm (Legendary) Effect: Deals unstoppable crushing damage to all participants on the field. Unless it is a nine-star defense card, it cannot be blocked. This card is destroyed upon use.]

"Simple and unpretentious numbers!"

Lin Wan acknowledged the card's strength.

This card might have a surprising effect in the group battle three days from now!

Next, Lin Yi bent down, put his card in her mouth, deciphered it, and then materialized it and gave it to Meng Ke'er.

Destroyed after use; does not exist.

Do you understand the value of wall hangings?

After Lin Wan put the Heaven Collapse into her card panel, she didn't rush to leave.

He pulled Meng Ke'er to examine the wall next to the sink more closely.

This wall differs from the other recesses in the corridor; besides the grooves for inserting clips, it is also engraved with a huge pattern.

The image shows a dense array of cards arranged in a pyramid-like structure.

At the top of the pyramid is a phantom image of a card, with no design on it except for the number twelve.

Below that are eleven stars, ten stars, nine stars, arranged in layers, with a line of small text attached to the side of each layer.

[Crafting Guide: Three cards of the same star level can be crafted into a card of one star level higher. The more cards of the same star level you have, the higher the success rate of crafting.]

[The 12-star card is the highest tier and cannot be obtained by searching; it can only be synthesized.]

[To synthesize a twelve-star card, you need: 3 nine-star cards, 3 ten-star cards, and 3 eleven-star cards.]

[Note: All cards used for crafting will be destroyed and cannot be recycled.]

Lin Wan looked at the line of text and silently counted the cards in her hand.

He has one Heaven Collapse card among the Nine Stars, but none among the Ten Stars and Eleven Stars.

To synthesize a twelve-star card, you need at least two nine-star cards, three ten-star cards, and three eleven-star cards.

This doesn't even take into account the probability of failure during the synthesis process.

"Did they never intend for anyone on this third level to have twelve stars?"

He muttered a complaint under his breath.

Meng Ke'er leaned closer and looked for a while, then frowned:

"Even if we manage to combine all twelve stars, it will probably consume a lot of cards."

"Are you going to clear the field with just one card?"

"Not entirely; this layer might also contribute to the mechanism."

"For example, collecting a certain number of cards will unlock related achievements, ultimately leading to higher-level rewards!"

Lin Wan patted her bottom, then turned and walked deeper into the corridor.

"Keep searching. Our target has changed; we'll prioritize finding materials that can be used to synthesize twelve-star items."

The process of elimination is still effective.

After resetting the target settlement,

For the rest of the day, Lin Wan led Meng Ke'er through the corridors.

The target settlement prompts are intermittent; sometimes several slots are filled with common cards, while other times a seven-star card is hidden around a corner.

"Senior, why didn't you let me go find it myself?"

Meng Ke'er couldn't help but ask once,

"My luck isn't actually that bad, and I also have your dragon luck blessing me..."

"I'll give you all the cards I find!"

Don't try anything funny.

Lin Wan glanced at her.

"The rules on this level allow for card battles. Do you think those high-level prodigies will be polite to you? The more cards you have, the more likely you are to be targeted."

"Most importantly, you know my secret. Although you are my subject, I cannot guarantee you won't tell anyone."

Meng Ke'er thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

As long as Lin Wan doesn't give her permission, she will have no autonomy...

Ugh...

She obediently shut her mouth.

Midway through, Lin Wan opened an eight-star card in a slot at a fork in the road.

The card face is a huge shield.

[Eight-Star Card - Rock Barrier (Epic) Effect: Immune to all card effects below seven stars this turn. If the opponent plays a card below six stars, the opponent's card effect will backfire on the player.]

"nice one."

Lin Wan put the shield card away.

This card can withstand a round of saturation attacks from low-star cards in the final battle, making it as valuable as a nine-star card.

After walking for about half an hour, he opened a Seven Star Card in a very secluded corner.

The card depicts a short dagger!

[Seven-Star Card - Bone-Eating Dagger (Epic) Effect: Deals poison damage to an opponent that ignores defense. If the opponent plays a defensive card this turn, the poison damage effect is doubled.]

Lin Wan weighed the card in her hand and placed it into the card panel.

I was busy all day long.

By this point, he had accumulated one nine-star card, three eight-star cards, seven seven-star cards, and dozens of five-star and six-star cards.

However, the tenth and eleventh stars are still undecided.

"Two more days, and the harvest is so-so!"

To be honest, if Lin Yi weren't a contestant, he would have wanted her to go find the card.

It takes too long for one person to search.

But compared to other prodigies, he's already quite fast; his high-star cards are equivalent to the output of ten people.

It's hard to say whether anyone has found seven or eight stars right now.

After half an hour,

When he found another eight-star card...

"Wait a minute!!"

Lin Wan stopped and turned to look.

The newcomer was a monk wearing a gray-white robe and with a shiny head.

He clasped his hands together, his face kind and benevolent, looking exactly like a highly virtuous monk.

But Lin Wan noticed that the monk's aura was off; it was something only a monstrous being of at least the fiftieth dimension or higher could possess.

A demon from the upper echelons?

interesting!

"You and I are destined to meet."

The monk nodded slightly, his tone gentle.

"May I have the honor of viewing your plaque?"

Meng Ke'er instinctively shrank behind Lin Wan, peeking out half her head to secretly peek at the monk who had suddenly appeared.

Although Guan Canghai was banned, her intuition told her that this person was more dangerous than any of the contestants she had encountered before.

Lin Wan looked at him expressionlessly:

"You want to see my cards?"

"Exactly."

The monk's smile grew even more compassionate.

"As I walked along the corridor, I noticed that you had quite a few cards in your hand. I would like to examine them to see if any ominous cards were mixed in."

"If so, this humble monk is willing to help you resolve the issue."

Lin Wan:......

He nodded seriously:

"You mean you want to check if there's anything wrong with my cards? Is that right?"

Monk: "You are wise, benefactor!"

"That is exactly what I mean!"

"I need to have my license checked!"
