Yu Ke held his head and took a deep breath for a long time before he finally recovered from his devilish laughter. He stared at Xie Mingzhe with an unpleasant expression and said through gritted teeth, "Azhe, this set of cards of yours is specially used to torture people mentally!"
Qin Xuan, who had been watching the fight, agreed with this conclusion. Sitting in the audience, he could clearly hear the laughter that occurred every 12 seconds. It was rare that Yu Ke could stay calm during the fight and not take off his helmet to beat up Xie Mingzhe.
Qin Xuan nodded and expressed his opinion: "It's really a headache."
Chen Xiao echoed, "In holographic games, you can only stay online for five consecutive hours before being told to log off by the system. However, when I play in the arena with Xiao Xie's deck, I want to log off after five minutes. It's a mental attack every moment!"
Xie Mingzhe said shamelessly: "It's actually okay once you get used to it."
Everyone: “…”
Xie Mingzhe continued, "Since we are teammates, we should understand each other's decks so that we can cooperate in team battles in the future. How about I summon Wang Xifeng alone and make you smile a few more times so that you can get used to it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Ke, Qin Xuan and Chen Xiao stood up and walked away at the same time. Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I'm going to eat some fruit to calm down." Qin Xuan said, "I drew a new picture for Brother Chen to see." Yu Ke immediately ran away and said, "I'm going to the bathroom!"
Only Chen Qianlin and Xie Mingzhe were left staring at each other.
Xie Mingzhe looked at his master and said, "The laughter every 12 seconds is the result of the master's modification, right?"
Chen Qianlin nodded calmly: "Yes."
The two looked at each other, feeling somewhat awkward. They felt that this sect was becoming increasingly strange. From the master to Senior Brother Tang, and then to themselves, not a single one of them was an honest card maker...
Xie Mingzhe coughed and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Master, I just watched the entire game. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved in my water deck?"
"You should have realized it yourself, right? There are too many auxiliary cards, and the output is low." Chen Qianlin said bluntly, "It depends a lot on the map. If you play on a normal map, once one of Wang Xifeng and Tanchun is killed, the subsequent output will be very weak."
"Well, if Blood Pool Hell didn't have the negative effect of losing health per second, this deck would definitely not be able to compete with Xiao Ke's joker card output." Xie Mingzhe was actually very calm and had been observing the data during the game.
Wang Xifeng's group attack is much lower than Zhou Yu and Lu Xun's fire group attack damage, and Tanchun's single attack output is not as good as Huang Zhong and Guan Yu's gold critical hit cards. In the Red Mansion deck, there are only two output cards, Sister Feng and Tanchun, which is obviously far from enough.
In the previous game, after Tanchun was killed, it was really difficult to kill the opponent relying solely on Fengjie's output. If it weren't for the negative effects of the environment that caused Mengpo and the judge to lose blood and die, Xie Mingzhe might not have won this game.
This deck is actually very afraid of opponents who use critical hit output. For example, Xiao Ke has five output cards. If they team up to kill Tanchun in seconds at the beginning, Xie Mingzhe's subsequent output will not be able to keep up, and he will be very passive if he drags the opponent into the game.
We need to add some more output cards.
He still needs to see how other output cards work in actual combat. For now, as long as they don't encounter fire and metal critical strikes, other water freezing, wood control, and earth counterattack decks can use the Twelve Pins to delay the opponent to the late stage and make them mentally frustrated.
Xiao Ke’s Black and White Impermanence core deck is “fight fast with fast”, while Xie Mingzhe’s Red Mansion deck is “fight slow with slow”.
The master and the apprentice exchanged some ideas on how to improve the deck.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that the three teammates came back.
Yu Ke's complexion has improved a lot, but Qin Xuan is still cold and expressionless.
Chen Xiao said with a smile, "I went to the balcony to get some fresh air, and my mind is much clearer. Since we are Xiao Xie's teammates, Xiao Xie wants to use this deck to trick others in the future. We can't go to the game and say, "The opponent is not confused, but we are the ones who are confused first! So next, we should practice in the team first and get familiar with the various skill combinations of Xiao Xie's deck."
Xie Mingzhe nodded in appreciation: "Brother Chen is very conscious! How about you compete with me in the next match?"
Chen Xiao turned around and looked at Qin Xuan: "Qin Xuan, come here. I can see it more clearly from the sidelines."
Qin Xuan: “…”
So, Brother Chen, your realization is - if I don’t go to hell, let others go to hell?
Yu Ke said behind him with a gloating look on his face: "Qin Xuan, you can't escape either, go now!"
Qin Xuan: “…Oh.”
So next, Qin Xuan and Yu Ke took turns to compete with Xie Mingzhe, while Chen Xiao and Chen Qianlin sat in the audience and watched.
Qin Xuan used Chen Xiao's dark plant deck.
The strongest group attack card in this deck is "Thousand-leaf Alpine Pine", which sweeps pine needles in a range with thorns and bleeding. The death scent of "Black Rose" can control the crowd with fear, and the kiss of the rose can also be used for flexible group attack or single attack.
Chen Xiao also made a "Dead Vine" to bind a designated opponent and create a single illusion. A "Snapdragon" has two states: blooming and withering. The blooming state is cute and adds a wood-type health-recovery shield to teammates. When the shield ends, it enters the withering state, which looks like a dead goldfish skeleton and releases poison gas within a range, adding wood-type poison to the opponent.
"Dark Ice" looks like a lotus, but it is dark purple with blood-red patterns on the edges. Its skill effect is group freezing.
The image design of the succulent plant "Black Wizard" was modified by Qin Xuan. There are four flowers on a branch, with pure black petals stacked up layer by layer, and the middle is light green. The black breath of death and the green vitality are contradictory but harmoniously blended together. The card image is very special, and the skill design is also special - huge single attack, but the overflow damage will be transformed into a group attack in proportion.
That is to say, the single attack data of the full-level "Black Mage" is 80,000. If it is used to attack a card with only 10,000 HP left, then the excess 70,000 damage will become a ranged group attack. Since the output data of a single attack card is definitely higher than that of a group attack card, the Black Mage card will become an extremely terrifying clearing weapon in the endgame!
Although the skill description of the plant card designed by Chen Xiao is not that strange, its actual combat effect is not inferior to that of Xie Mingzhe's character card.
However, Qin Xuan was not proficient enough in the use of this set of dark plant cards, and Xie Mingzhe's sonic attack was too troublesome, and the scene lost blood quickly. In the end, the black wizard's group attack was transformed into treatment by Xie Mingzhe's Qiaojie's "Good Luck in Disaster", and Qin Xuan was defeated by Xie Mingzhe, and he lost convincingly.
Yu Ke was not convinced, so he changed to Wei Zheng and Du Liniang's healing deck and played another game. The result proved that no one could outlast this Twelve Pin deck in the late stage, so the idea of "using violence to defeat slowness" was more appropriate.
Everyone was seriously involved in the communication and competition within the team.
Gradually, everyone became immune to Wang Xifeng's laughter and focused more on the lineup. Xie Mingzhe used various combinations to PK with his teammates, testing the functions and data of different cards. After playing ten games in a row, everyone had adapted to Wang Xifeng's laughter and became more and more calm when seeing Yingchun and Qin Keqing's active lineup deaths.
Habit is indeed terrible!
Following Hsieh Ming-che, everyone has become less and less honest, and has been infected by Hsieh Ming-che's slacking style of play...
The competition lasted until 11:30 in the evening, when Yu Ke and Qin Xuan returned to school together.
On the way back, Yu Ke couldn't help but ask: "Qin Xuan, do you think we can really play in the professional league?"
Qin Xuan frowned: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Yu Ke lowered his head in frustration: "I played so many games with Azhe tonight, but I didn't win once. His ability to adjust the deck is too strong. Brother Chen is definitely stronger than Azhe. After all, he was a professional player and is Lin Shen's younger brother. But, the two of us, it feels like... like..."
Seeing that he couldn't find a suitable description for a long time, Qin Xuan took the initiative to speak: "Looks like he sneaked in to make up the numbers?"
Yu Ke was stunned for a moment, and found that Qin Xuan's description was particularly appropriate. He nodded vigorously and said, "That's how I feel. When I won the championship at school, I felt that I was pretty awesome, but today I couldn't beat Azhe in a single game..."
Qin Xuan wasn't in a much better situation either, being almost completely defeated by Xie Mingzhe's new deck.
But he compared Ko to a more rational player, and analyzed, "We can't beat him because we don't understand his new deck at all. You don't need to compete with him. You will be his teammate in the future, so just cooperate well."
Yu Ke was silent for a moment, then said, "What you said makes sense. It doesn't matter if I can't beat Azhe, as long as I can beat others!"
Qin Xuan nodded: "Yes. Isn't there a guild league tomorrow? In the doubles competition, Brother Chen wants to team up with me. You can team up with Azhe. It's a good opportunity to understand his rhythm of playing cards and try to cooperate more."
Yu Ke quickly recovered from his depressed mood, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Hehe, if Azhe and I join forces, we can definitely beat the guys from those big guilds to a pulp! In tomorrow's guild league, I will make Azhe bring the Wang Xifeng card and release it every 12 seconds to make him laugh, so that those people can also experience the feeling of collapse!"
The young boy quickly regained his energy. Qin Xuan shook his head helplessly. This guy was really easy to please. His mood was clearly written on his face.
In fact, Qin Xuan also felt like a "drag". Compared to Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe, he and Xiao Ke were much weaker, and they did not have the ability to create original cards. Qin Xuan was naturally proud and did not want to be a drag on the team. He looked at the boy walking in front of him happily and said, "Yu Ke, after school, come to my dormitory when you have time, and we will play together."
Yu Ke suddenly stopped walking and turned to look at him in disbelief: "You took the initiative to invite me to your dormitory? Am I hallucinating?"
Qin Xuan: “…”
What does this shocked look mean?
The two looked at each other on the street late at night, and an awkward atmosphere spread around them.
After a moment, Qin Xuan finally understood what Yu Ke meant - it was all because he was usually too cold and never took the initiative to say hello to others. So when he suddenly invited Yu Ke to his dormitory to practice PK with him, Yu Ke couldn't believe it and thought he was hallucinating.
Qin Xuan looked away awkwardly: "Forget it if you didn't hear it."
Yu Ke smiled and said, "I heard you! No problem, I'll come to you every day when I'm free, and we'll improve our skills together!" The boy looked up at Qin Xuan with excitement, "That's great! It was so boring to go to the arena alone every day before, and I couldn't tell anyone what I thought of in time. In the future, we can PK together and find each other's weaknesses, and we will definitely improve faster!"
Qin Xuan: “…”
There were no pedestrians on the streets late at night. The warm street lights cast a soft light on Yu Ke. The boy's already small and handsome face had a pure smile on it. He looked at him with joy, his eyes bright as stars.
Yu Ke's excitement infected Qin Xuan, and Qin Xuan also felt that it was better to practice with teammates of similar level than to fight alone. It felt good to have a little friend to grow with.
Qin Xuan heard his voice become gentle for once: "Well, let's work hard together."
They smiled at each other.
This was the first time Yu Ke saw Qin Xuan smile, and it was just like ice and snow melting.
Yu Ke was a straightforward person and couldn't help but say: "Qin Xuan, you look so handsome when you smile!"
Qin Xuan: “…”
The smile on his face quickly faded, and the boy pretended to be indifferent and said, "Really?" Then, he suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed: "Oh no!"
Yu Ke looked confused. "What's wrong?"
Qin Xuan said: "The dormitory will be closed at 12 o'clock!"
Yu Ke came to his senses and immediately turned around and ran away: "Damn it, we were standing on the street chatting and forgot about the door control!"
The young boy was running madly in front, and Qin Xuan had no choice but to run with him. When he finally ran to the dormitory building panting... it was 11:59 pm, the line between life and death, just one minute away.
Yu Ke quickly entered the dormitory, and Qin Xuan followed him in. Seeing the little guy leaning against the wall and breathing heavily, he couldn't help laughing again. But before Yu Ke turned around, Qin Xuan had quickly adjusted his expression and said lightly, "Go back to sleep."
Yu Ke nodded: "Well, I hope I don't have a nightmare tonight!"
That night, Yu Ke had a nightmare. The sound of "hahahaha" kept echoing in his dream. When he woke up in the morning, Yu Ke was very depressed and sent a message to Xie Mingzhe: "My dreams are all hahahaha, you are poisonous!"
Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "Come over for lunch at noon and discuss the guild league together!"
After washing his face, Yu Ke went downstairs to find Qin Xuan, and they came to Nirvana Studio together.
