Liu Jingxu is a player obsessed with card research. He usually doesn't pay attention to the gossip of major clubs. When a piece of news becomes widely known, he still has a confused expression of "what's going on". In the alliance group, he is always lurking and never shows up. As long as he doesn't offend the Hell Club, it's none of his business even if other clubs are in chaos.

But today, he had to pay attention to the recent instant death card incident - because the Sha Seng card directly targeted his entire set of demon cards!

The most powerful aspect of demon cards is that all cards have dual forms, are unpredictable, and are difficult to kill instantly.

The appearance of "Sha Seng" completely changed this situation. The skill "Treasure Staff to Subdue Demons" can trigger an instant death effect no matter whether you are in human or demon form, as long as it is a demon card. A master only needs to summon Sha Seng at a critical moment and kill his fox demon, cat demon and other key cards in seconds, which can completely disrupt his game rhythm and break his control chain.

Liu Jingxu frowned and looked carefully at the Sha Seng card.

Seeing him lost in thought, Gui Sirui couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xu, do you have any solution?"

The Hell Club does not have a dedicated card designer. Liu Jingxu is the overall person in charge of card design. Liu Jingxu is responsible for the matching of cards and the setting of the card pool in every team battle. He has a more comprehensive understanding of cards. However, this person is a typical slow person. He is always slow in doing things. He suddenly fell into deep thought, as if his soul had left his body. He did not listen to Xiaogui's words at all.

Gui Sirui continued to call him: "Brother Xu? Can you hear me?"

Liu Jingxu lowered his head and continued to think...

Gui Sirui looked at his master helplessly. Zheng Feng said in confusion, "I'm curious about how Cao Chong Cheng Xiang will perform his skills. How about this, disciple, upgrade the three cards to full stars first, and then we'll go to the arena to practice."

Gui Sirui also wanted to try out the actual combat effect, so he immediately called the president of the Ghost Hell Guild and directly transferred materials from the guild to upgrade all three cards.

The two turned around and left, sat on the swivel chairs in the training room, put on their helmets and logged into the game.

At this time, Liu Jingxu, who was deep in thought, finally came to his senses: "I have an idea... Hey? Where are the people?"

He looked around in confusion and found that Lao Zheng and Xiao Gui were not there. The president looked at his bewildered expression and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, they went to the training room. The boss said he wanted to practice the effects of the cards."

Liu Jingxu said "Oh", turned around and followed.

In the training room, Zheng Feng and Gui Sirui opened an arena on Phoenix Star, and the password was the usual 7895.

Liu Jingxu logged into the game, found their arena from the friend list, entered the password and went in to watch. At this time, the master and apprentice had already started the battle. Xiaogui was holding Cao Chong against his master, and Lao Zheng was holding Zhong Kui against the joker.

Xiao Gui first summoned a hanged ghost at random, and Zheng Feng immediately activated Zhong Kui's ghost catching skill - Zhong Kui opened his Qiankun bag and grabbed Xiao Gui's hanged ghost directly into the bag.

Liu Jingxu, who was watching, suggested: "Try to kill Zhong Kui. Will the ghost in the bag be released?"

Gui Sirui also had the same idea, and immediately summoned the most powerful ghost, and slapped Zhong Kui, who had very low defense. Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Zhong Kui turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared, and the ghost in his pocket also disappeared.

The three of them looked at each other.

After a moment, Liu Jingxu speculated, "The Zhong Kui that Yueban set up should be a messenger from the ghost world. If you attack him after catching a ghost, he will disappear with the ghost he caught. The captured ghost cannot be released. This is equivalent to a variant of instant death judgment."

After all, Yueban was famous for making "instant death cards", so he would definitely not show mercy and release the captured ghost. Gui Sirui didn't have much hope, but he was still a little depressed when he saw his own ghost card being captured like this.

Zheng Feng frowned and said, "Try Cao Chong."

The full-level Cao Chong has low health and defense, and 0 attack power. Judging from the data alone, this type of card is a one-time tactical card.

When the battle started, Zheng Feng summoned his white elephant. The huge white elephant was over three meters tall, with four legs as thick as stone pillars. When it ran, the ground would shake, and its momentum was enough to shock countless opponents.

When Gui Sirui saw his master's white elephant appear, he immediately used Cao Chong's "weighing the elephant" skill.

The ship model in the little prodigy's hand suddenly enlarged in proportion, and Zheng Feng's white elephant was put into the ship. The white elephant was stuck in the "tailor-made" ship, unable to move or release skills. Then, Cao Chong squatted beside the ship and observed the scales on the hull very carefully.

Three people: “…”

We are playing a game, can you please stop making noises, kids? Is it appropriate for you to come to the arena and weigh an elephant? !

Zheng Feng almost laughed out of anger when he saw this strange picture: "What was the card author thinking? Letting a child use a boat to weigh my elephant???"

Liu Jingxu suggested: "Why not try to kill Cao Chong?"

Zheng Feng randomly summoned a stone spirit and launched a normal attack. Cao Chong died because his defense was too low.

——However, Cao Chong’s boat was still there, and the elephant was still inside the boat, unable to get out.

Gui Sirui suddenly thought of a key point; "I found a sentence in Cao Chong's skill description - until Cao Chong finishes weighing. So, this is not finished yet?"

Zheng Feng was mad: "How long will he take?"

Liu Jingxu said calmly: "Your elephant is too heavy. He may need to weigh it for several hours."

Zheng Feng: “…………”

So in the future, when others are fighting fiercely beside him, will this little Cao Chong use his boat to slowly weigh the elephant? The authorities are so willful, how could they approve such a weird setting?

Putting the elephant into the boat prevents it from moving and releasing skills. Although it is not considered an instant death, the elephant is still alive and well, and has full health. However, this will destroy the elephant's role as a team meat shield, and there is not much difference between being alive and dead.

Liu Jingxu explained: "Cao Chong's skill [Calling Elephant] is similar to [Exile Skill], which is to banish the designated card outside the arena, losing its combat effect. It is also a one-for-one tactical card. I remember that the chief designer of the Temple of the Gods once made this kind of card."

Zheng Feng sighed: "I admire this card author!"

Liu Jingxu was very interested in this author and asked, "President, have you done a thorough investigation of this author's background information?"

The Guild Master of Guild He is a very low-key man who likes to do things in secret. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "We have secretly checked that Yueban's ID is Fat Uncle. He is an original card designer who started out in the black market. His image in the game is a fat uncle with a friendly smile. He recently opened a store specializing in instant death cards. So far, we have not found any connection between him and any guild."

Gui Sirui scratched his head and said, "Master, what should we do?"

Liu Jingxu said seriously: "This fat uncle's card-making talent is unquestionable. Since he has not yet cooperated with other guilds, we can offer the best conditions to try to recruit him. I also want to discuss card-making ideas with him."

When the research geek meets this gifted card maker, he is of course eager to communicate with him.

Zheng Feng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "The 'best condition' you mentioned shouldn't just be the salary, right?"

Liu Jingxu nodded: "I think other clubs must have tried to persuade him, and the conditions they offered would not be bad. Since he is still selling cards freely, it means that the conditions offered by those clubs are not enough to make him interested. If I guess correctly, he is very concerned about the copyright of the cards. Other clubs dare not take the risk of letting him retain the copyright. Old Zheng, it depends on whether you have the courage to do so."

Zheng Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded decisively: "I can give him the copyright of the cards, but in order to prevent him from changing jobs with the cards or leaking the club's secrets, some restrictions need to be added to the contract. Do you think this is okay?"

Liu Jingxu thought about it and said, "I think it's okay. This is the same treatment as the most powerful chief designer in the entire alliance."

Gui Sirui asked worriedly, "Will he agree?"

Zheng Feng smiled and said, "We gave him the best conditions. I think he will agree."

***

At the same time, in the alliance group.

Ye Zhu: "Hahaha, let me laugh for a while. This time, the whole hell is in trouble! Let me show you three new cards I saw in Uncle Pang's store - Zhong Kui Catches Ghosts, Sha Seng Conquers Demons, and Cao Chong Weighs an Elephant."

Anyway, his Butterfly Card has been completely targeted, so he can now continue to rejoice in misfortune without any pressure.

In two days, the tenth season will begin. In the past, the group would discuss the rule changes, grouping, who would sign up for the individual competition, etc., but this year the style suddenly changed. In the past few days, the group has been discussing the issue of instant death cards.

Ye Zhu is a boy who loves to make a fuss. He initially gloated over Tang Muzhou's misfortune, but after he was targeted, he stayed quiet for a day, and then he started to gloat over the water element and today's earth element. With him watching the card shop and reporting the news, people in the group who don't pay attention to Yueban Card Shop can know what new cards the store has released first.

Looking at the three new cards today, everyone laughed in private; Lao Zheng was so pitiful, the elephant was loaded into the boat to be weighed, hahaha. Xiaogui and Jingxu were also miserable, one joker was caught, and one demon card was killed.

Zheng Feng said helplessly: "Is Lao Nie here? Don't you plan to come out and say a few words?"

Nie Yuandao, who was named, also appeared, speaking in a low and calm voice, "What can I say? Congratulations to the three winners?"

Zheng Feng: “…………”

Congratulations! It's all your fault, crow mouth!

Zheng Feng rolled his eyes and said rudely, "You are such a crow-mouthed person, and your curses always come true! Yesterday you said that the Joker and the Elephant would not be targeted, but today you released cards that target the Joker and the Elephant!"

Gui Sirui agreed: "That's right. Nie Shen, are you in partnership with Uncle Fatty and providing him with ideas?"

Liu Jingxu, who never showed up in the group, said something today: "I also think that Nie Shen is very suspicious."

Nie Yuan said: “???”

Heaven and earth can see! How could he and Uncle Fatty be in cahoots? He was the first to be targeted a long, long time ago, okay?

A group of people began to besiege Nie Yuandao. Shan Lan felt sorry for his master becoming a target and couldn't help but stand up to clarify: "Don't get me wrong, my master did not cooperate with Uncle Fatty, otherwise why would my bird card also be targeted?"

The gentle voice rang in their ears, calming everyone down quickly.

That's right? If Nie Yuandao really conspired with Fatty Uncle, he wouldn't have directly betrayed his own apprentice. Shan Lan was also in trouble. Wang Zhaojun's sonic attack targeted his entire bird deck.

Zheng Feng was puzzled: "So, Lao Nie, you just said it casually, and then the curse was successful?"

Shan Lan said helplessly, "That should be the case. The other day, Master just casually said that my birds would not be targeted."

Nie Yuandao coughed lightly and was unable to refute.

Gui Sirui: "The crow mouth of Nie Shen is really powerful! Hurry up and curse others. We can't be the only ones to suffer in the hell!"

Zheng Feng: "That's right, Lao Nie, tell me, who's next?"

Ye Zhu also followed suit: "God Nie, keep talking, who else?!"

At this time, Tang Muzhou suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Let me summarize, the flowers of Fenghua Club, the birds of Judgment Club, the water fish of Liushuang City, the earth cards of Guiyu, and the butterfly cards of Dark Night City have all been targeted. Which one is left?"

Ye Zhu couldn't help but praise: "God Tang remembers it very clearly!"

Gui Sirui said: "Let Nie Shen say the last sentence. After all, Nie Shen's curse power is the strongest."

Zheng Feng: "Old Nie, the final words are now handed over to you."

Under everyone's encouragement, Nie Yuandao had no choice but to curse decisively: "The only thing left is Temple of the Gods. After all, most of the cards in Temple of the Gods are gold cards, which are not so easy to target. Uncle Pang will definitely not be able to think of how to target the gold deck."

Ling Jingtang; "…………"

Ling Jingtang said: "Old Nie, I want to put a seal on your mouth."

The strongest player in the Temple of the Gods, the originator of gold cards, Ling Jingtang, finally showed up. He was blown out by Nie Yuandao's curse.

Nie Yuandao said calmly: "I am just stating the facts. Do you agree?"

All players except the Temple of the Gods gave a collective thumbs up: "Right, right, right!" "Ni Shen, everything you said is right!" "The Temple of the Gods is the only one that has never been targeted!" "Uncle Fatty definitely can't make a card that targets the gold system!"

Everyone gave buffs to the curse of Nie Shen.

Of the six most powerful clubs in the alliance, only the Temple of the Gods is now safe and sound, and has not been targeted by Uncle Fatty. Maybe tomorrow's card store will have cards targeting the gold system.

Will the crow's mouth of Nie Shen work?

Tang Muzhou, who was observing silently, said: Lao Nie, you carry the pot for me for a while, I will go find Uncle Fatty!
