My Card Beast Taming Game

"How many points did the first-place finisher surpass the second-place finisher in the previous competition?"

"Thirty-something points, I guess?"

"This time it's estimated to be more than three hundred..."

About an hour later, someone got up and left the command center, even walking out of the secret realm, and took out their phone to send a message.

The faculty and staff guarding the gate saw his clothes but ignored him.

Lu Qingning and Han Baobao sat on a bench outside the square, shaded by the trees. They ate half-melted ice cream and squinted as they asked, "Is that person from the student council? What are they posting?"

"I don't know..." Han Baobao felt lazy because of the heat.

The Chow Chow licking its ice cream nearby said, "Why don't we just go ask?"

Lu Qingning turned her head to look at it, "You're going?"

"I dont go."

The one-horned Chow Chow shook its fur. "I'm not curious."

Lu Qingning clicked her tongue, put down her ice cream, and walked over. Han Baobao wanted to follow, but she really didn't want to leave the shade of the tree.

Fortunately, she returned quickly.

"Did you find out anything, Ningning?" Han Baobao asked impatiently.

Lu Qingning said expressionlessly, "Zhou Chen is going crazy inside, he's probably going to make history."

"What history?"

"His score history shows that he is now more than 200 points ahead of the second place."

"Hey..."

Han Baobao quickly understood the reason and said with a grin, "Zhou Chen's card-making luck kicked in, didn't it?"

The Chow Chow was confused. "What card-making luck? Is he really that good at making cards?"

"Oh yeah, his card production rate is over 70%!"

Han Baobao smiled and pinched the face of the one-horned Chow Chow, only realizing afterward that the cute little dog in front of her wasn't her family's pet.

However, the one-horned Chow Chow didn't seem to care; instead, it was completely shocked. "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Do I get paid to lie to you?"

Lu Qingning sat back down. "That guy's luck is unbelievable. It makes you wonder if some auspicious beast gave him a blessing."

The one-horned Chow Chow fell into deep thought.

After a moment, its expression seemed to become somewhat annoyed, and it uttered another sound, "What's the point of being so competitive! Isn't talent for cultivation enough?"

Lu Qingning and Han Baobao both looked at it.

The "One-Horned Chow Chow" looked at the two of them and asked, "You two know him well, right? Do you have any tips for attracting him?"

Lu Qingning tentatively asked, "Fatian...Teacher?"

"it's me."

Fatian, speaking through the body of Fawang Ni, said, "Do me a favor, and I will definitely treat him well."

Han Baobao remained silent, while Lu Qingning said, "We have already recommended the Array Domain Academy; whether he chooses it or not is up to him."

"Isn't that the end of the calf?"

Fatian sighed, "We were going to have to fight for it anyway, but now I don't know how badly it will turn out."

Then the one-horned Chow Chow shuddered, and its voice returned to its original tone, "All you do is shout all day long, but you never come out. What's the use? I'm more diligent than you."

Lu Qingning was speechless. She said to Han Baobao, "Let's go. It's not good to keep waiting here. Let's find a cool place to stay."

"Row."

Han Baobao was indeed getting restless and said, "Poor Xiaomei, why doesn't she have a chance to be taken care of by Zhou Chen!"

The Chow Chow eagerly said, "I know a quiet coffee shop! Their desserts are delicious, shall we go together?"

The two people and the dog left the entrance to the secret realm.

Chapter 139: Two Gods and Three Pitfalls (20/104)

Zhou Chen's team did not have a smooth journey.

When they entered the middle level and began to encounter lineups consisting entirely of Silver-rank monsters, their team, which also consisted entirely of Silver-rank monsters, suddenly found themselves struggling.

why?

the reason is simple.

Zhou Chen discovered that his teammates couldn't perfectly execute his will like Ling Ka; most of them had their own ideas.

For example, the Lava Giant controlled by Gu Xiaobo is tough and can deal burst area damage, but it is slow to react and often fails to create distance in time, resulting in it being frequently hit by its teammates' area skills.

For example, Xing Keji's Heroic Soul Armor simply cannot grasp the duties of an off-tank. When surrounded by more than three monsters, he simply runs away, seemingly afraid of nothing. Even when told to move towards the Lava Giant, he stubbornly refuses to listen.

Finally, there was Qin Yulan's Zhenming Stork. Zhou Chen had only one thought about it—

How come your damage is so low?!

You call this an output position?

Just stick to playing a support role and providing crowd control!

No, you don't even understand how to play the support role. You're hard-controlling both the opponent and your teammates, and you're randomly using your sonic wave skill. You're using an important control skill to finish off enemies, and you don't even know how to adjust the release position!

Qin Yulan's Zhenming Stork was the first Spirit Card among them to be nearly defeated by a monster. Fortunately, Zhou Chen helped to stop it, giving her a chance to draw the card.

The only teammate worthy of praise is Kaori Utsunomiya's Blue Deer, who is obedient, quick-witted, and adept at dodging skills.

Their performances were all quite ordinary, but they stood out brilliantly when compared to the others.

Zhou Chen sometimes gets really tired from playing.

He had to single-handedly have the Black-feathered White Ape kill monsters, support several teammates, and also return to aid their card master's main body.

The key is that he doesn't consume many resources. Every time others are in danger, he provides them with the defense boost from the Heroic Armor and the shield from the Azure Deer.

How could it be harder than running a dungeon alone?

Zhou Chen really wanted to tell this group of people, "Why don't you stop fighting and let me handle it?"

Unfortunately, the Secret Realm Exam is a team battle...

Of course, he also knew that this was the first time everyone had teamed up, and they weren't a perfect match who understood each other perfectly. The fact that the Divine Capital Academy required five people to form a team also showed that teamwork was definitely one of the key points to consider.

He could only hope that they could gradually become more proficient through practice. It was indeed quite stressful for many young card masters who hadn't been to the secret realm many times to suddenly face a group of silver-rank monsters at a high frequency.

Routine rest time.

Xing Keji looked at Zhou Chen, who was holding binoculars, with a puzzled expression. "Old Zhou, aren't you tired?"

After juggling tasks such as killing monsters, dissecting materials, and crafting cards, he was still able to observe the terrain and plan his next move without even breaking a sweat.

Xing Keji found it a bit scary.

Zhou Chen replied, "Time waits for no one. It's the right thing to do to take as many practice tests as possible before the exam ends."

Gu Xiaobo said, "Our total score is already over 700 points, which should put us far ahead of the second place, right?"

The others readily agreed.

Three hours have passed since the start of the exam, and they have dealt with a total of fifteen waves of monsters, which is equivalent to processing one wave every twelve minutes. Their efficiency is definitely not low.

However, without knowing the scores of the other teams, Zhou Chen felt that 700 points were far from enough, as this score had to be distributed equally!

He must ensure that his total score is high enough so that he can get a high final score.

I don't think my share will be low, right?

Zhou Chen was unsure if his first command would result in a deduction of points. No wonder Lu Qingning made him practice every day; how could they coordinate effectively in actual combat if they didn't practice?

About five minutes later.

He began by asking, "Everyone, how was your rest?"

"..."

Xing Keji stretched his limbs to dispel his fatigue and spoke first, "I'm ready."

“Me too,” Kaori Utsunomiya replied.

Seeing that they had both expressed their opinions, Gu Xiaobo sighed, "Let's go, let's go."

Qin Yulan opened the driver's door with a tense expression.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen stopped her and took the initiative to get into the driver's seat: "I'll drive. You can meditate and rest during the journey."

Xing Keji's eyes widened, "Old Zhou, you—"

The drivers have already changed. The first hour was Xing Keji, then Gu Xiaobo, then Kaori Utsunomiya, and now it's Qin Yulan's turn.

Zhou Chen was really afraid that she would be a hindrance, so he simply took the initiative to take on the driving responsibility, saying, "I can drive, I just don't have a driver's license."

He said to the group, "Trust me."

What could Xing Keji and the others say? They had no choice but to obediently get into the car.

As it turns out, Zhou Chen really could drive, and he drove extremely skillfully and smoothly, like a seasoned veteran.

Xing Keji retorted, "Is there anything you can't do?"

"Having a baby."

Zhou Chen's words immediately made the others burst into laughter.

Soon, the four of them began to meditate.

Although it wasn't their first time in a secret realm, this level of intense monster grinding was definitely a first for them, and they were somewhat overwhelmed.

The main reason for persisting is to follow Zhou Chen's wishes.

With his dominance in battle and high scores afterward, coupled with his self-discipline and cooperation, he has already established his authority within the team.

Unless the instructions are excessive, the other three will obey unconditionally.

It's okay to be tired.

Zhou Chen did a lot of work, in fact, he did a great deal of the work.

His diligence impressed not only them, but also many teachers at the command center, who believed that there were indeed few children like Zhou Chen who were talented, capable, and hardworking.

Someone glanced at the score difference and saw that there was already a gap of three hundred points.

It's hard to imagine how many points I can lose after the exam.

In front of the monitor screen, Da Hei Niu was still chewing. "This kid has a lot of energy. Has he eaten a lot of rare and precious herbs to strengthen his body?"

"possible."

"The old man, a ghost, said casually."

On the screen, Zhou Chen and his companions are fighting a monster. This time, they are encountering a group of hurricane vultures. When they live together, they can release large-scale tornadoes with enough power to blow away off-road vehicles. They are a very troublesome silver-tier monster.

Zhou Chen's blood pressure spiked several times because of them. Three of his four teammates couldn't fly, so he had to find a way to lure them to the ground while preventing them from targeting the off-road vehicle. It was truly torturous.

However, as he played, he gained experience.

These hurricane vultures are very sensitive to blood; they will target any injured spirit card.

The Black-feathered White Ape used this to its advantage, maneuvering them around in circles, and together with several teammates, they defeated them in succession.

Through continuous adjustments and collaboration, everyone found their own niche.

Xing Keji stopped letting the Heroic Soul Armor run around recklessly, and Qin Yulan finally realized that compared to other cards, the Zhenming Stork's output was insufficient. She would save the key control skills for her teammates to use for burst damage, rather than using them to force an output.

Gu Xiaobo began to understand how to anticipate Zhou Chen's instructions based on the situation on the field, so that the Lava Giant could move aside in advance to facilitate the attack.

Kaori Utsunomiya...

Utsunomiya is perfectly fine!

Zhou Chen was extremely satisfied with this support player, praising him repeatedly, which made the others look at him strangely.

"You flatter me too much..." Kaori Utsunomiya was also a little shy from the compliment.
