My Card Beast Taming Game

He was genuinely afraid to be alone with this group of people.

What if we have to take action?

Can Captain Changming kill them all without leaving a trace?

It's highly unlikely.

Upon hearing this, Xing Keji quickly took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and hurried away.

Gao Liang and Shi Xiaodong exchanged glances, neither daring to utter a single word, even though the former was a junior card master.

On the way to dinner, Xing Keji took the initiative to explain why he had added Xing Keji as a friend.

"I am Xing Keji. Has someone approached you, offering you a price to lose?"

"have."

How much did he ask for?

"One million, with a deposit of five hundred thousand."

"..."

The window shows the other person typing, then disappears, then the other person is typing again, and then disappears again very quickly.

This was repeated five times before Xing Keji sent a message.

"If I said it wasn't me, would you believe me?"

Half a minute later, a picture of a little person crying in despair was sent over.

Zhou Chen: "...Pfft."

"Bro, I've been set up!"

Xing Keji sent another message, as if he was eager to prove that he was not the one who bought the spot.

Zhou Chen: [Eating melon.jpg]

Xing Keji began to launch into a lengthy discourse.

In short, there's some guy who doesn't get along with him and deliberately does this to annoy him.

The goal was to spread rumors about Zhou Chen, ruin his reputation, and affect his mentality, thereby reducing his chances of being promoted to junior card master.

Xing Keji said that his main reason for participating in the Yuzhong Cup this time was to resolve a grudge he had a year ago.

In the previous tournament, he was eliminated in the round of 16.

If he can break through this year, his chances of advancing to the junior level will be higher; it would be best if he succeeded on his first try!

Who knew that Zhou Chen would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

The point is, he lost, and that's it. He just lost a little bit of extra boost. Who knew that someone would try to sabotage him!

Fortunately, they had received the news in advance and rushed over to explain to Zhou Chen, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding.

However, Zhou Chen had no intention of publicizing it: 'Your mental energy is full?'

"Yes, I'm aiming for a breakthrough by the end of the month."

Like Zhou Chen, Xing Keji was silent in real life but active online: "Nearly fifteen months isn't as good as those with extraordinary talent, but at least I can advance before adulthood and apply to the top three academies!"

The three major academies are Tiandu Academy, Shendu Academy, and Modu Academy.

The regular Card Master Academy admits students under the age of 20, while the three academies, striving for excellence, only admit junior card masters under the age of 18.

Zhou Chen: Congratulations!

"Haha, thank you so much! It's good that we can talk things out!"

Xing Keji sent two laughing emojis in a row, then said: "Brother, I won't lie to you, the person who disgusted me is Pan Yi from the Pan family, that Pan family from 'Zero Boundary'."

The Pan family?

Zhou Chen was completely clueless; he had no recollection of any prominent families in Fengcheng.

[Zero Boundary] He did know that it was on par with Lingxiao Pavilion, Wending where Xing Keji was, and another club called Changfeng, belonging to the top card master clubs in Fengcheng.

These days, established families are not prominent, remaining behind the scenes. What's in the public eye are various card master organizations and numerous card master academies operating under the guise of clubs.

This can be considered the best era for ordinary card players.

He had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between Xing Keji and Pan Yi; he only hoped to get through it peacefully...

It feels really difficult.

Zhou Chen sighed inwardly. Card masters are often profit-driven. The potential benefits of the Yu Zhong Cup are higher than the prize money, and it even involves regional disputes. It's impossible to avoid any trouble.

With the White Ape in his grasp, he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

Let's take a step by step.

Zhou Chen doesn't want to move to another city right now, but he'll leave if absolutely necessary.

Chapter 65: Multiplayer Tournament

The night the Bronze Division qualifiers ended.

Zhou Chen was tagged in various groups, with a bunch of strangers congratulating him, making it seem like he had won a championship.

However, he was fighting monkeys in the dungeon at the time, and after coming out he went straight to bed to sleep, so he didn't have time to take a closer look until the next morning.

In the group chat where Zhou Chen had previously obtained the contestant information sheets, he also saw the advancement tables for the preliminary rounds in each city.

He subconsciously clicked to browse, and soon saw a familiar name on Jin Cheng's list.

[Lu Lang]

Why is that guy competing next door?

snort!

I pray I don't run into him!

Otherwise, we'll definitely teach that bastard a lesson!

Zhou Chen has never been petty; he just knows how to be patient when he can't do anything about others.

In addition, he also saw Pan Yi's name on the list of people in the same city.

The Pan family...

While having dinner yesterday, Zhou Chen casually searched online. He didn't find much specific information, but he did find a lot about card dealers surnamed Pan, one of whom happened to be a director at the Fengcheng Association.

Does the Pan family have any senior card masters?

Zhou Chen felt that there should be some. Although Fengcheng was just an insignificant small city in the Yuzhong region, since it was a powerful family, there must be some kind of patriarch or elder, right?

Senior card masters can live to be over two hundred years old.

Even at the advanced age of over 150, Zheng Shouzhou was able to fight alongside Lingka.

They may be far from being cultivators, but from the perspective of the human species alone, it is already a miracle.

Zhou Chen felt that if he became a senior card master before the age of thirty, his lifespan would be longer.

Today is the Silver Division competition, and the association's vice president came to show his face again, staying even longer than yesterday.

After all, while the number of trainee card masters in the card master world is the largest, junior card masters are the mainstream of society and the main force for humanity's counterattack against the secret realm.

Even in the extremely popular Youth Championship, the vast majority of participants are novice card players.

Considering the large number of spectators, Zhou Chen did not go to the venue to squeeze in with the crowds, but instead watched the game via online live stream.

The focus remains on Mei Xian.

Her strength was still no less than her opponent's. She used the Shadow Owl skill to perfection, using her clone ability to make her opponent run around in circles.

A short while later, she successfully slew her opponent's spirit card.

"what!"

Mei Xian excitedly raised her right fist, and Zhou Chen took a picture of her victorious pose and sent it to Lu Qingning, who was far away at summer camp.

However, Lu Qingning estimated that she wouldn't be able to reply anytime soon, as the summer camp had occasional secret realm training activities. According to her, these could last anywhere from two or three days to a week.

Zhou Chen was somewhat envious.

After all, his second large sum of money came from running dungeons with Lu Qingning. Those few days were like printing money, and just recalling them made him itchy to get back to work.

But what Zhou Chen was curious about was that although he had met Mei Xian three times for the competition, he had never seen her crush even once.

Did it not work out?

That evening, the Yuzhong Cup city preliminary competition came to a close.

The card player community in Maple City has become exceptionally lively, partly due to the upcoming Eight Cities Grand Finals and partly due to the growing rumors of a merger between Golden City and Maple City.

As is well known, Yuzhou is indeed a large province with a highly developed economy, but the central part of Yuzhou is far inferior to the northern part of Yuzhou, which has the capital city of Lin'an, and the southern part of Yuzhou, which has the special economic zone of Huacheng.

If Jincheng and Fengcheng can merge smoothly, it will be a good thing for many people.

However, the separation and reunification of the two places is not so simple.

Fengcheng used to be a subordinate of Jincheng, then it became independent, and now it is going to merge again. Who will be the boss and who will be the second boss has become a matter of great concern to many people.

Some people are wondering if, if the two major cities were to merge, Yue Yong, a mere senior card master, would be able to secure his position as the association's president.

You should know that the presidents of the associations in Lin'an City and Huacheng City are both legendary top-level card masters!

Amidst the hustle and bustle, dawn broke on the second day.

Zhou Chen took a shower like a zombie, then ate breakfast while looking at the match schedule.

Once he saw the contents, his confused mind immediately cleared.

"Yo!"

The rules for the finals are quite complicated, as it includes a new multi-player elimination round.

This means that one person will be selected from each city to engage in a free-for-all battle with players from the other seven cities in a large venue. This format is derived from the Secret Realm War and is said to cultivate card players' ability to adapt to free-for-all battles.

Although some competitive card players may not go to the Secret Realm even once in more than ten years, and are only forcibly recruited by the association in the event of a major change, most card players participate in both the Secret Realm and the competition.

The winners who survive this multi-player elimination tournament will be the top 64 in the competition, and then they will compete in a one-on-one elimination tournament until the champion is determined.

no doubt.

In the upcoming multi-player elimination round, Zhou Chen and Lu Lang have been placed in the same group.

"Sigh~"

This is going to be interesting!

He looked with great interest at his other opponents and the arena he needed to reach.

The location was lucky; it's next door in Jincheng, and it only takes about an hour by taxi to get there.

For anything further, I'll have to change modes of transportation.

The area of ​​Zhuxia is comparable to three or four administrative provinces in the previous life. Therefore, although there are only eight main cities in Yuzhong region built around a large secret realm, it is actually no different from a province in the previous life.

The time is 10:00 AM tomorrow. You need to check in and enter the venue half an hour in advance.

He then checked Shi Xiaodong's match schedule and went to see his opponents...

That looks unlikely.

Zhou Chen didn't look down on Shi Xiaodong's strength; it was just that his opponents were stronger than the last.

According to the player information obtained from a certain tournament group, nearly a quarter of the more than 500 people on the list used mutated cards or ultra-rare cards.

These cards have base stats that surpass most cards on the market, not to mention the combination of active and passive skills.

Shi Xiaodong's only advantage is his card manipulation skills, honed through sweat and blood.

But are the other contestants' card manipulation skills necessarily worse?

Card players who emerge from the secret realm are indeed powerful, but those who haven't gone to the secret realm aren't necessarily weak, as mentioned earlier—

Spirit card manipulation techniques and spirit card combat experience are not positively correlated.

"set off!"

After finishing breakfast, Zhou Chen headed to the club. Although the air-conditioned room was very tempting, many things are hard to break once they become a habit.
