At the entrance of the Jupiter team dungeon, Xie Mingzhe joined the team, and Chen Xiao directly gave him two cards - a level 70 full-star Storm Goddess and an Ice and Snow Goddess, one for a tornado that gathers monsters, and the other for freezing crowd control.

Xie Mingzhe was very excited when he got the Seven-Star Black Card for the first time. He carefully put the card away and said, "Brother Chen, I will return it to you after I use it!"

"No need to return it. I'm giving it to you." Chen Xiao said simply.

"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Was this good boss sent by God to save him? Xie Mingzhe looked at him with emotion, but found that Brother Chen had already entered the dungeon with great speed, and he didn't seem to mind at all - maybe the Seven Star Card is very common for power players.

In this ten-man team, except for the five substitutes including Chen Xiao, the other five people's IDs are very unfamiliar. They are passers-by recruited by Chi Qing.

Holographic games cannot open multiple accounts, and the studio has limited manpower. If there are not enough people to play the group, you can only recruit people from the world. Fortunately, the materials of the copy are dropped by the number of people, so there will be no disputes due to material issues, and it doesn't matter if you have a few strangers.

This wood-based team dungeon is called "Dark Night Forest". As soon as you enter the dungeon, the surrounding monsters are alarmed, and countless small tree elves surround you. There are dark green vines under their feet, and they attack the invaders crazily one after another.

Xie Mingzhe was accidentally tied up by the vines. Seeing that the vines were about to climb up his body to his neck, Xie Mingzhe struggled to retreat, but the more he struggled, the tighter the vines tied him, and his whole body was tied up. He really wanted to burn these vine monsters with fire.

At this moment, a soft light shone on their bodies - someone used a card skill.

Xie Mingzhe felt the vines loosen and his feet were finally able to move. He immediately jumped back and turned his head to see Chi Qing coming over with a card with the purification skill. He warned him, "Watch your step. Player characters will not die in the dungeon, but they will be controlled."

"Thank you." Xie Mingzhe, who was rescued, immediately followed Sister Chi Qing.

"Xiaopang, pull away the vines to the north first." Chen Xiao gave the orders.

"Understood!" Pang Yu released the rhino card. The large rhino roared and rushed into the vine pile, pulling away a large number of vines. The dense vines underground, like a group of snakes, quickly entangled and wrapped the rhino, strangling it to pieces!

"..." Xie Mingzhe was a little shocked when he saw this scene. Is the fighting power of the wood vine so terrible? Rhino Ka's health exceeded 150,000, but he was killed instantly? !

Just as I was shocked, I heard Chen Xiao say, "Xiao Xie, freeze all these vines."

The vines that strangled the rhino realized that they had been tricked, and turned around collectively, and quickly surrounded everyone's location as if they had consciousness.

Xie Mingzhe hurriedly summoned the Storm Goddess, aimed at the right direction, and a tornado gathered them all together, then summoned the Ice and Snow Goddess - snowflakes fell from the sky, and all the vines in the area were frozen. The frozen vines were entangled together, wrapped in ice and snow, like "frozen twists".

Chen Xiao glanced in the direction of Xie Mingzhe and praised him in his heart: "Everyone, hurry up!"

Everyone immediately followed Brother Chen and rushed into the forest to burn those tree spirits and monsters. The constantly burning flames quickly burned the monsters in the game into ashes.

After defeating the first wave of monsters, everyone was tied up by vines again. The fat boy Pang Yu couldn't help but complain: "There are vines everywhere in this dungeon. These vines don't drop materials. They are just there to annoy people. The most annoying thing about the wood element is the vines. I hate playing wood-related dungeons the most..."

Xie Mingzhe deeply agrees.

I was tied up by vines after taking one step, and I was tied up again after taking two steps... How can I complete the dungeon properly?

After being tied up all the way, everyone finally defeated the final vine boss with great difficulty. Xie Mingzhe asked with a headache: "Do we still want to fight?"

Chen Xiao said: "Let's go play the other five-player dungeons and finish all the dungeons on Jupiter."

The five-person copy was simpler, and since Brother Chen and his friends were all very powerful, Xie Mingzhe followed them and quickly finished all the five-person copies.

After this trip to the Jupiter dungeon, he deeply felt the power of wood-type creatures - in addition to the vines with strong attack power, there are also various seemingly beautiful flowers with control effects such as hallucinations and blindness, and many flowers and plants also have negative states such as poisoning, weakness, and confusion.

The Wood card system is just one branch of the Star Card world. Other cards of the Water, Fire, Earth, and Gold card systems certainly have their own characteristics.

After successfully completing the Wood Dungeon, Chen Xiao said, "Everyone, disband first and go to bed early. We will do other dungeons tomorrow."

Xie Mingzhe nodded and looked at the time. It was eleven o'clock. Since the team was disbanded, Xie Mingzhe simply returned to his personal space to continue studying the cards.

***

At the same time, the club office was judged.

Nie Yuandao, who had just returned to the club after having a midnight snack, frowned slightly as he looked at the Wu Song Card handed to him by President Huanyue.

Men's facial features are naturally strong, and when their brows are slightly furrowed, they give people a very serious feeling.

The man in his thirties had a calm demeanor that came from having experienced many ups and downs. Perhaps because he dealt with beasts like wolves, tigers, and lions every day, his eyes were as sharp as those of a wild animal, making people afraid to look him in the face.

Nie Yuandao is also known as the "Beast King" because the entire animal card pool was influenced by him. Before he appeared, there were very few animal cards in the Star Card World, and their skills were relatively simple. Nie Yuandao perfected the entire animal card pool. The tiger, leopard, wolf, lion and other animal cards he made have extremely strong attack power, and his beast siege style is also unique.

Huanyue didn't dare look at him, she lowered her head and asked softly, "Ni Shen, what do you think of this card?"

Nie Yuandao handed the tablet computer to the person next to him and said, "Xiao Lan, come and take a look."

The man sitting next to him is named Shan Lan, 22 years old, and also a famous poker player in the league, known as "Lan God" by his fans.

If Nie Shen's gaze was so sharp that people dared not look him in the face, then Lan Shen was a particularly gentle person. When he smiled, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and his voice was very soft. In addition, he had fair skin, handsome features, and a particularly good temper, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

Shanlan is Nie Yuandao's only apprentice, and his deck consists entirely of beast-type cards.

However, Nie Yuandao likes melee critical hits, and the cards in his hand are all ferocious beasts such as white tigers, lions, black rhinos, and wild wolves - the beast deck is violent and crushing, which is the characteristic of Nie Yuandao, simple and straightforward, and he doesn't waste time talking to people.

Lan Shen prefers the air assault style of play. His card illusions are very beautiful, including the fairy crane, white eagle, lark, peacock, and the alliance's strongest air combat cards "Fire Phoenix" and "Ice Crystal Phoenix", all of which were made under the guidance of his master.

This master and apprentice teamwork is perfect in both air and land combat, making them a very strong combination in doubles competitions.

The master and the apprentice lived together and were inseparable because Lan Shen admired his master very much and liked to stick to him. He followed his master wherever he went. Lan Shen, who was particularly fierce in the game, was more like Nie Yuandao's "little follower" in the eyes of the staff of the referee club.

Taking the Wu Song card from his master, Shan Lan carefully looked at the card's data and asked softly, "Where did the president buy this card from?"

Huanyue said: "Black market, I received it by chance today."

Shan Lan analyzed: "It was not sold at an auction where it would have fetched a high price, but was sold at a low price on the black market. This shows that the author of this card did not understand the value of cards and the market situation. He may not have read the official announcement and did not know that the instant death sentence was recently added to the database. Is he a new player who has just started playing the game for a short time?"

Huanyue immediately agreed: "Yes, according to Shuangshuang, the girl who received the card, the author is a level 15 newcomer named Fatty Uncle."

"Uncle Fat?" Shan Lan muttered this strange name and turned to look at Nie Shen. "Master, what are you going to do?"

Nie Yuandao was silent for a moment before he spoke in a low and calm voice: "During the final meeting of last season, Tang Muzhou suddenly proposed to add an instant death judgment to the skill database. Do you know why I agreed at the time?"

Shan Lan seriously speculated, "Is it because many players in the league follow the example of Master Zheng Feng and constantly pile up Card's health points, often piling up Card's health points to over 150,000? If this continues, the competition will become more and more boring?"

Nie Yuandao glanced at his apprentice with admiration, nodded and said, "Actually, Tang Muzhou didn't make this suggestion just for Zheng Feng. The Earth Element is supposed to be a defensive counterattack, so it's reasonable for Old Zheng to do this, and we have plenty of ways to deal with him. But the key is that seeing that Old Zheng's cards survive longer, other players also began to follow suit and stack health points on their own cards."

At this point, a trace of regret flashed across the man's eyes. "In recent years, newcomers who have entered the professional league have only followed the trend and imitated, learning the decks of their predecessors, but have never had their own creativity. It's nothing like the fifth season, where so many talented players emerged and created so many unique schools of play."

Shan Lan debuted in the seventh season. In the fifth season, he was still a young boy learning from his master. Thinking of the glory of those years, he couldn't help but yearn for it: "The fifth season was indeed a time of many talents. Tang Muzhou perfected the wood-based deck, Fang Yu and Qiao Xi pioneered the water-based play style, Gui Yuan Shan, who played ghost cards, Ling Jing Tang, who played cold weapons, and various spell cards, insect cards, etc. The creativity at that time is really incomparable to the current players."

Nie Yuandao said coldly: "Some newcomers are eager for quick success and instant benefits. In order to achieve results, they directly imitate or even copy the decks of other masters, and are too lazy to think for themselves. Tang Muzhou proposed the concept of 'instant death judgment' just to change the current status quo of the alliance. In recent years, playing games has become less and less interesting. The alliance also needs some talented fresh blood."

Shan Lan said: "So at the conference last season, most of the veteran players stood on Tang Shen's side, and opposed those newcomers who have risen in the past two years and have no unique style of their own. They are afraid that after the instant death card appears, their trump card will be killed in one second, and they will not know how to deal with it. For professional players who want to win the game, the deck is only the basis, and the more critical thing is the reaction speed and adaptability. With the master's consciousness, he is naturally not afraid of the instant death card."

Nie Yuan nodded: "Well, I am more interested in the author of this card."

Huanyue: “………………”

Who am I, where am I, what should I say?

The two masters were discussing as if no one else was around. Huanyue couldn't get a word in and felt like a big intruder.

Fortunately, the considerate Lan Shen noticed him and changed the subject with a smile: "President, the cards with instant death judgment, my master and I have been studying them recently. This fat uncle can make cards with instant death judgment, so his mental strength must be not inferior to ours."

The database has very high requirements for the skill design of instant death cards. You can't just make a random fish and let the fish eat Tang Muzhou's tree. Instant kill skills must be related to the card itself and conform to common sense. This "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" card is very cleverly designed. A strong man punches the tiger in the head. Theoretically, as long as the man is strong enough, it is possible to hit the tiger's brain and cause it to die directly.

Shan Lan admired the skill design of this card very much. He looked at Nie Yuan and said, "Master, should we try to pull this guy?"

Nie Yuandao stood up from the sofa, turned around, picked up his helmet, and said calmly: "The author of this card is definitely a rare talent. Find this fat uncle as soon as possible, I want to meet him."

Seeing Nie Yuandao turn around and walk towards the club's game hall, Shan Lan immediately followed him: "Master, I'm going too."

Huanyue followed the two masters with a headache: "We are looking for Uncle Fatty, we will find him as soon as possible!"

***

Xie Mingzhe, who was studying cards in the game, had no idea that the Wu Song Card and Daiyu Card he made casually, the Tiger-type instant death judgment and the Flower-type instant death judgment, because of their weird skills, actually happened to alarm the boss-level characters of the Star Card Alliance - Nie Yuandao and Tang Muzhou.

Moreover, two great players came to the game personally to find him!
