This caused the elders' beards to fall out in clumps. For the dwarves, whose beards were their face, things had reached a point of no return. The dwarves, who thought they had advanced technology, were forced to believe in metaphysics and tried to find the old furnaces to perform ancient refining. As a result, after a large number of dwarves with declining physical fitness were exhausted, the alloy they obtained was full of impurities and did not even meet the qualified standards.

Two years later, when the God of Cards descended, the dwarves had lost their overwhelming advantage in forging capabilities. Their once famous Steel City, a steam-powered forging city, could no longer be maintained due to lack of technology. In some areas, large areas even collapsed due to materials becoming brittle and failing to meet strength standards.

This forced the dwarves to move out of their creations. The hasty move meant that the dwarves could only take a few valuables with them. A large amount of property and vaults were still sealed in the ruins of the Steel City. Now these ruins have become a place that explorers talk about with relish. Everyone is eager to get rich in the Steel City, but most people never return.

Many engineers have forgotten their skills. Because of such a blow, many engineers left their homes and wandered around, and some even took a butcher's oath, vowing to seek a glorious death if they could not find a way to rebuild their former glory. They embarked on a path that could be said to be both a pilgrimage and a death-seeking journey.

Their technology has also evolved from "Building a steel city? That's not a big deal!" to "We don't lose if we can build a car that moves."

After the advent of the God of Cards, these dwarves acquired new technology. In the short 100 years since the great revolution, their biochemical technology has developed rapidly and reached its peak. The latest news is that they already have a legendary guard. The entire army has the same face, fearless and high combat effectiveness, which is quite scary.

Cloning in this day and age? Fang Qingyun felt that if he gave those dwarves some time, they would probably be able to create a gene progenitor... But cloning sounded like a secret, and might not be that loyal.

The elves seemed to have taken over the baton from the dwarf and started to create a torrent of steel. They no longer adhered to the idea that the forest was inviolable. They developed technology and moved closer to modern times. They gave the tree men armor and installed cannons, creating some kind of war tree fortresses. They relied on the tree men to move around and used the operators above to fire cannons, creating a tree man Titan. It can only be said that Western fantasy has its own national conditions.

Human beings began to liberate their minds and rapidly developed from feudalism to capitalism. The disappearance of magic forced the Serhi Empire to learn from its mistakes and began to promote public education. Although public education was still very simple, it was at least implemented.

The university where Fang Qingyun is currently studying is a product of public education. Thanks to the decree issued by the ruler, Emperor Serhiy 74, children of commoners also have the right to receive education. Although their study schedule prescribed by law is only half of that of the nobles, at least they can learn something.

What humans are mainly learning now is rune technology, and the great development of technology is achieved through rune modularization. Rune-etched metal has very good physical properties, which makes mechanical production possible, and the productivity in the great transformation develops rapidly.

However, the development of science and technology brought about political stagnation. In order to accelerate the process of industrialization, the imperial power was checked and the nobles gained certain benefits. Although the emperor's power was subject to certain restrictions and he could not do dirty things like selecting concubines, he could still do whatever he wanted to anyone he disliked.

Technology did not promote the birth of a new class as Fang Qingyun had expected. Instead, it made the feudal dregs live even better. The power of the nobles was retained. After all, they were the ones who paid the first sum of money, and the children of the nobles were the only talents that could be used in the early stages of reform.

The nobles would make trouble when factories were opened by others, but would give the green light to factories opened by themselves. This tacit understanding made the factories become the family assets of the nobles. The mutual support between nobles made the factories become accomplices of the nobles. The small nobles who were strangled by the throat lost everything and finally ended up being annexed by the big nobles. The big nobles became bigger and bigger, and seemed to want to reach out further.

In a sense, the bourgeois revolution did not increase the speed of productivity development, but left behind a lot of feudal remnants. Some nobles even transformed themselves into a new aristocratic bourgeoisie. This is a very interesting thing. On the one hand, they were unwilling to give up their fiefdoms, and on the other hand, they wanted to share a share of the development of the factory...

Anyway, other people can't compete with them due to the lack of connections and policy support. Even if they can compete with them, the worst that can happen is that they can give the opponent the entire baron title. If they can't beat them, they can just join them.

Chapter 3, Hearthstone Legend in Another World? I won't be sleepy if I talk about this.

Judging from the simple furniture in his room, Fang Qingyun guessed that he should be born into a small noble family that was annexed.

Fang Qingyun silently eliminated the prejudice that this empire was feudal from his mind. If humans have already crossed over to capitalism, then this Emperor Serhi can perhaps be said to be an allotropy of Emperor Cecil Pioneer? Although this capitalism can only be said to have learned the superficial fur, it is still much better than thorough feudalism.

The only known race besides humans is the orcs. There are not many records about orcs and humans. I don’t know if it was deliberately concealed or what. In short, the description is very vague.

Generally speaking, the orcs seem to have taken the wrong medicine. They have changed from the original orc tribes to space greenskins. They make things by picking up the garbage, weapons, and scraps left over from the war and recycling them. The whole style is as weird as the post-apocalypse. Looking at it reminds people of Mad Max, No Man's Land, yellow sand, roads, vehicles with wire, the Laughing Beatles, and rock music.

Although there are some differences in details, it is not much different from those loyal space greenskins in the previous life, except that it does not have the kind of hands that I think can be used.

After explaining these most basic things, Teacher Stanley felt that it was enough. No one except Fang Qingyun wanted to pay attention to him. He felt that he was a bit redundant and it was just awkward for him to stay here.

Stanley looked up at the clock and clapped his hands. "I know that you are not interested in history and find it boring. I am the same way, so..." He paused and touched his pocket. "Let me tell you about the main knowledge points of the course. Then you can do better in the exam."

So, what is the main subject of this Western fantasy world? Magic? Magic has disappeared, is it rune technology?

Fang Qingyun stretched his neck to see what the teacher had taken out. It was a card, decorated with all kinds of intricate patterns. When Teacher Stanley showed it front and back, Fang Qingyun squinted and barely made out that the front should be the card surface, which looked fancy, and the back had something written on the upper left corner, lower left corner, and lower right corner. Apart from that, there seemed to be something else written, but that was not clear.

That's right, in a world influenced by the God of Cards, playing cards is the main course. Fang Qingyun suddenly became excited. After all, he was a card man himself and had come into contact with all kinds of cards. The most important one was Hearthstone. He also played some Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. When Hearthstone was still a 25-level system, Fang Qingyun had gotten 1st level. Although most people think that it's enough to have a hand, Fang Qingyun, who was so poor, made his own deck and didn't even have two high-rarity cards.

Stanley raised the card in his hand high. "Okay, now I have a non-standard minion card in my hand. It doesn't matter. It's just an analogy. Everyone knows how minion cards work, right? After they are played, they summon the minion on the card to the battlefield."

Fang Qingyun looked at the others nodding, and nodded too.

The teacher touched the front of the card and said, "This is the card face of the follower. It is the appearance of the creature inside. Advanced cards can make the creature inside move, and even use your hard-earned magic power to make it appear in reality. But this is not important because you don't have an exam at the end of the term, and with your magic power, it is difficult to do it."

Fang Qingyun interrupted in his mind: No, this is very important. It would be boring to play cards if the cards don’t look good.

"The back is what you need to remember, look carefully." Stanley turned the card over and touched the number in the upper left corner. Now Fang Qingyun could finally see it clearly. The number was covered by a circle. The circle looked like a diamond with many facets polished from a high altitude, showing the layered surface and sparkling light.

"This crystal represents the consumption of this card. It means the mana you need to consume when you play this card on the battlefield. Do you understand? Does anyone still not know what mana is? Yes, it is the one-to-one output of mana crystals every round. Does anyone still not know about mana crystals? Well, let me explain it again..."

Stanley looked a little helpless, but soon the words of the top student below cheered him up. "Oh, yes, that's right. The mana crystal is the thing that automatically increases the upper limit by one level every round. You have to rely on the mana provided by the mana crystal to play your cards. You will win if you reduce the opponent's health to zero or below."

While the teacher's explanation attracted the attention of all the students, Fang Qingyun's treasured notebook flipped out of thin air, and several pictures began to slowly appear on it, with a feeling of slowly emerging from the water and gradually becoming clear from blurry: they were two card faces arranged side by side, which should be the front and back of a card.

"Fuck!" Fang Qingyun cursed, then he quickly lowered his voice and covered the notebook with his hands. Now the most urgent thing is to conceal the existence of the notebook. In this situation, dignity can be abandoned, so the only thing he can do is to blow himself up!

The best way to divert attention is to create it. Fang Qingyun had a pen at hand, so he quickly picked up the pen as if spinning it, and began to act.

He pretended to be embarrassed and held his forehead, holding his breath to make his face red. The hand that was pierced was shaking gently, and it seemed that he had been pierced by the hand when spinning the pen, and he cried out in pain. Soon, the students and teacher Stanley who had diverted their attention turned back, and some people were laughing secretly, but at least their attention was not here.

The noble student who made the noise showed a look of contempt, which made Fang Qingyun a little unhappy. He thought, "Three times is the limit. I will trip you up next time if you make trouble." The good news was that the guy didn't plan to spend time staring at Fang Qingyun. After making that expression, he turned back.

Although the noble student thought he was giving a warning, Fang Qingyun still felt that this behavior was really stupid... but it would be annoying if it happened too many times.

Fang Qingyun, who had no intention of paying attention to that fool, put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind and focused on the notebook in front of him. Oh my god, I finally got the golden finger of time travel. I knew that the black notebook had some magic, otherwise it would not have been able to travel with me. Thinking of this, Fang Qingyun suddenly had a bold idea: Could it be that he brought me through time?

Fang Qingyun quickly calmed himself down and began to check the contents of his notebook.

Relying on Fang Qingyun's decent memory and restored normal vision, he compared the picture on the notebook with the cards in the teacher's hand. The upper left corner, lower left corner and lower right corner of the back of the teacher's card were all 2, which was consistent with the notebook. The cards shown on the notebook should be the cards in the teacher's hand.

After confirming that everything was correct, Fang Qingyun glanced around guiltily. The other students saw that he was only pricked once and had already turned back to look at the teacher. Some of them were dozing off, so no one turned their attention to him now.

"Battle Maid" is written on the top of the front, which seems to be the name of this card. The card shows a maid wearing a small amount of armor and holding a one-handed sword and a small one-armed shield.

The steel leg armor and chest armor, and the rest of the body is covered with a maid outfit. This maid outfit looks like the Japanese style, and it looks quite slender, not the kind of burly maid in the Old West with a big fluffy hat who can stand on a man with her fists and run a horse with her arms.

The combat maid has an iron mask on her face that covers her eyes, so her eyes cannot be seen clearly. Only the lower half of her face is exposed. Judging from the lower half of her face alone, she must be quite beautiful.

At the very bottom of the front, there are a few words written: "Minion Card - Warrior - Maid". Based on Fang Qingyun's previous experience in playing cards, this should represent the type, race and profession of this card, but this race is very Yu-Gi-Oh style... After all, it was from Yu-Gi-Oh that Fang Qingyun knew that warriors can also be a separate race.

It is a follower card. The warrior and maid types mean that she may interact with other warrior or maid cards, such as the common "draw a maid card". In this case, this masked maid meets the conditions and can be drawn up in a targeted manner.

There was a 2 written on the upper left corner of the back. According to the teacher, this meant that the maid would need to consume 2 mana points. When Fang Qingyun focused his attention on the 2, a line of words appeared on the notebook:

[The natural growth limit of mana crystal is 10 points. It may be 5 points in different games. The game starts from 0 points, and the rounds are carried out alternately. The mana crystal increases by 1 point every time you take a turn. (A round is the time for one side to perform a wave of operations, and the two sides will operate alternately)]

After confirming that Fang Qingyun had finished reading, the handwriting disappeared automatically.

This discovery surprised Fang Qingyun very much. Finally, this notebook finally responded. The way the cost grows... Anyway, let's rule out Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh for now.

What this turn means is... suppose at the beginning of the game I decide to play first, that is, when it is my turn, I go from 0 points at the beginning to 1 mana crystal. After I finish playing my cards, it is the opponent's turn, and the opponent also has 1 mana crystal. The opponent plays a card, and when it is my turn, I reach 2 mana crystals.

That is to say, I play first, I play 1 mana and you play 1 mana, then I play 2 mana and you play 2 mana, and we keep alternating like this, just like many card games.

Okay, now let’s take a look at how card games are played in the other world.

Fang Qingyun looked at the number on the lower left corner of the back. The number was crossed by a sword and a pistol, and it also had 2 written on it. After Fang Qingyun tried to concentrate again, a new line of words appeared on the notebook:

[This number represents the follower's attack power, that is, the damage caused to the enemy by one attack]

[The number 2 in the lower right corner represents the health value of 2, which is the total damage that the follower can withstand. When the cumulative damage reaches 2, the follower dies.]

Well, I am sure that when the unscrupulous creator God created this card game, he did not change the rules of Hearthstone at all, but directly moved them over.

Finally, the notebook thoughtfully lists all the attributes of this minion card on both sides of the card:

[Battle Maid (Blue Quality), 2-2-2]

[Minion Card - Warrior - Maid]

【ridicule】

[Battlecry: Heal your hero for 4 health points]

【2-2-2依次代表所需费用为2,攻击力为2,生命值为2】

[Minion Card - Warrior Clan - Maid means this card is a minion card, and the minion type is a maid in the warrior clan. It may produce special linkage effects with other cards due to the minion type.]

[When attacking the opponent's minions and heroes, you must prioritize the minions with taunts. Spells are not affected.]

[Battlecry is the effect that will be triggered when this minion is played from the hand]

[When the maximum mana crystal is 10, your hero's health is 30. When the maximum mana crystal is 5, your hero's health is 20. When your hero is injured and his health is reduced to 0 or below, you will lose the game.]

Seeing the taunt explanation that was exactly the same as Hearthstone's and the racial classification that was the same as Yu-Gi-Oh, Fang Qingyun was even more certain that the main course was a card game from another world. Then based on Fang Qingyun's original record, he should be considered an excellent student in the academy, right?

only……

After the notebook was displayed so intuitively, Fang Qingyun suddenly realized that something was wrong with this card.

Chapter 4: The other world has its own charm, fortunately I have a golden finger

This card... is a bit over the top, right? When Fang Qingyun quit Hearthstone, it was during the Descent of Dragons version. Although it was also a bit over the top, it wasn't that exaggerated overall. It was only after Darkmoon Faire and Scholomance that the card values ​​started to inflate.

The so-called super model is a card that exceeds the template, that is, a card of the same cost that is stronger than the normal template. It is a card that can be chosen without considering any coordination. It may not have much coordination and cannot play a combo, but the quality of the competition is definitely excellent.

It's like a one-on-three situation from Landlord, but the referee says that this one-on-three situation is better than other people's one-on-seven situation; or a team of the worst slave rats from Warhammer 2, with low morale and a - chance of being matched with the peasants, but they can beat the opponent's heavily armored canned dwarf warriors.

依据炉石传说最古老的身材计算方式,一个2点花费的随从在不具有任何特殊效果的情况下,对应的是2X2+1=5点属性值,也就是这个随从的攻击力和生命值相加为5;同理,3费的随从对应的是3X2+1=7点属性值。

The various special effects and affixes that come with followers are also valuable. With the same cost and the same attributes, if others have one more affix than you, and you only consider this card without considering the coordination, they will definitely beat you.

When the attribute value that a card should have = the value of the card's affix + the card's body, that is, the attribute value + the value corresponding to the card's special effect, this card is a card that does not lose money.

If the attribute value is greater than the sum of the last three, then the cost of this card is high. If it is lower, it means that this card has a preferential cost. It is like going to a cake shop to buy cakes at night. One price can buy two cakes, which is a good deal.

Using this formula to calculate the effect of [Battle Maid], it is not difficult to find the power of this card: the built-in taunt effect is worth 1 attribute point, the attack power and health of this card add up to 4, plus the 1 attribute point corresponding to the taunt effect, it is already worth the original 5 attribute points.

The effect of the battle cry at the end is equivalent to giving it away for free.

It is like someone else spends a sum of money to buy a rough house, while you spend the same amount of money not only to buy a house, but also to decorate it and equip it with a full set of luxurious furniture, one step ahead, one step ahead. Although Fang Qingyun had never played a card with a blood recovery routine in his previous life, he only knew that this card could recover blood, and he could not see how this card could be used to maximize the benefits, but at least this is a card that can play 8 out of 10.

The key point now is that Fang Qingyun’s method of calculating cards is the same as the calculation method of the ancient version of Hearthstone. Is the calculation formula in this world the same as that of Hearthstone at that time?

Fang Qingyun was thinking while listening to the teacher's words: "Pay attention, generally we have a formula to calculate whether a card is qualified. Does the sum of the value of a card's attack power, health points and special attributes reach twice the cost plus one? If it reaches, then it is qualified."

Does that mean the calculation formulas in the two worlds are the same? That means I didn't make a mistake. Fang Qingyun nodded and began to calculate the attribute value of the battle cry to restore four health points.

The teacher put the card on the table and continued: "The attribute value of this card in my hand is randomly filled in. There is no such powerful follower card in reality. It is just for your reference. Students, please do not take this into reality. It is normal that you cannot cast it. As for how much each special attribute is worth, students, please memorize it all after reading the book, that is the focus of the final exam."

Fang Qingyun, who had just finished calculating the value, raised his head. Immersed in his own world, he didn't hear what the teacher said later. He just felt confident and even a little arrogant and thought: There is no need to continue listening to this teacher's class now, as I have almost understood the world view.

But on second thought, Fang Qingyun still felt that it was a bit too arrogant. It would be too stupid if he missed some common sense and exposed himself. It was not worth taking such a risk for a little bit of time. He should just listen for now.

Perhaps because he saw that the students didn’t have a deep understanding of the cards, and some even seemed to be confused after going through them once, Teacher Stanley cleared his throat and said, “Well, students, let’s do a simulation exercise.”

Upon hearing about the simulation exercise, Fang Qingyun sat up straight. This was important information to examine the card-playing level of the other world. The questions given to the students would certainly not be particularly difficult, but they would not be particularly simple either. This was an academy after all. If converted into the previous life, it was at least at the university level. In this case, some questions should be able to reach the difficulty level of social application.

Fang Qingyun has already prepared himself mentally. If the next practice question given by the teacher is some simple calculation to solve the field, then with his level, it should not be a problem for him to become the first in the same grade.

If a chain reaction-style scene exchange occurs, Fang Qingyun still has a hope of being ranked among the top in the same grade.

But if the worst case scenario is that a spell is cast to trigger various reactions, and you are asked to clear the field, which is as difficult as modern bomb disposal... Fang Qingyun feels that this will not be much easier than advanced mathematics. That means Fang Qingyun must study hard and start the exam immediately, otherwise he will not be able to guarantee even the most basic survival.

However, the question the teacher asked was beyond Fang Qingyun's expectations. It was not any of the three above, nor was it a more difficult one. It was a simple question that made him doubt his life. It made Fang Qingyun read the question four or five times to make sure he had seen the conditions clearly.

The question is very simple. What will happen to the situation after a battle between followers 2-3 and 4-5?

This question is very simple, even unbelievably simple. It only involves addition and subtraction.

Based on the format of the follower's physique description, it is not difficult to deduce the attack power and health points of these two followers. One has two attack power and three health points, and the other has four attack power and five health points.

According to the experience of the previous life, the battle between followers can be summarized in one word: mutual harm.

That is to say, no matter who attacks whom, the minions of both sides will suffer damage from the attack power of the other side. In other words, the 2-3 minion will receive 4 points of damage, and its health will be reduced to -1, killing it on the spot.

而4-5的随从只会受到2点伤害,变成一个4-3的残血站在场上。

This is the simplest addition and subtraction, there is not even any multiplication or division involved. The answer comes out with just a glance, and you don't even need to calculate. When the teacher finished explaining the question, Fang Qingyun had already figured out the answer.

Could there be a trap in this question? Fang Qingyun pondered, and suddenly he felt a little unconfident. According to his experience in his previous life, this was indeed the way to calculate it, but... could there be any difference?

Anyone else thrown into this environment would also have the same doubts. Unlike Fang Qingyun who could answer with just a glance, the others around him were busy in various ways:

Some licked their lips and thought hard, looking as if they were going to do something big; some rolled up the sleeves of their wide robes, as if this would affect their state when they were tackling difficult problems; some took a ruby-encrusted pen and wrote furiously, like Fang Qingyun, who only knew L'Hôpital's rules at the beginning.

How could he be so enthusiastic about single-digit calculations? The only explanation was that there was something wrong with Fang Qingyun's calculation method.

When Fang Qingyun began to doubt whether adding multiplication and division to health points would represent damage reduction, and even suspected other issues such as attack coefficients, someone finally finished the calculation and looked up.

Fang Qingyun and that man looked at each other. That man showed a smug smile to Fang Qingyun, raised his hand high, and became the first person to report the answer.

There are actually some pioneers who take the initiative to raise their hands and deliver it in college? This discovery made Fang Qingyun raise his eyebrows with interest. He was eager for someone to go up and deliver it to verify his guess.

But unfortunately, the teacher did not choose to let the guy stand up and report the answer. Instead, he walked to his side, took a look at what the guy had written, and then patted him on the shoulder: "It's still wrong, but it's pretty close."

Close? This keyword made Fang Qingyun feel something was wrong. Shit, it couldn't be that some weird formula was used to calculate the damage reduction and then rounded off, right? Or was it calculated by some other method?

Fang Qingyun admitted that he was a little panicked at this time.

Fortunately, Teacher Stanley did not check on him. He just walked around like he was on patrol, like a walking King of Hell. He would walk to a student and look at him, nodding or shaking his head silently. The oppressive feeling accompanied by sighs and clicks of the lips was so strong that Fang Qingyun even forgot that Teacher Stanley was actually a history teacher.

After Stanley finished looking around, he quickly returned to the podium, and sighed at the students who were scratching their heads and frowning. At that moment, Fang Qingyun almost thought that he was going to say, "You are the worst class I have ever taught," but Stanley did not say anything angry. Instead, he nodded as if he had expected it.

"This question is indeed a little difficult. It's normal that you can't solve it," Stanley said his opening remarks. Fang Qingyun nodded in agreement because of the habit he developed during his student days.

"First of all, to make it easier to understand, we need to clarify a concept, that is, the battle between followers is about attack and defense." Teacher Stanley wrote on the blackboard: "It will be easy to understand if you put it into reality. The battle is such a process of back and forth."

Fang Qingyun raised his eyebrows. Why did this idea feel... familiar?
