The Nirvana Guild's application list quickly exceeded 5,000 people, and the lowest-level guild could only accept 50 people. Chi Qing was a little worried: "Brother Chen, there are so many people, can I just pick them randomly?"
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Old players who have registered for more than half a year will be given priority. We need to play the guild dungeon. Players who have reached the maximum level usually have seven-star cards in their hands, so it is easier for them to pass the level. Let's choose those who meet the requirements based on the time of application."
Guild dungeons can only be played once a week. They increase the guild's construction level, and participating members will receive points. They will also drop precious enhancement cards that will be used in large quantities in the later stages. It can be said that this is a weekly task that most guilds must do.
However, since the difficulty of the guild dungeon is much higher than the usual daily and team dungeons, it is impossible to pass it with low-level cards. Of course, it is easier to pass it by recruiting old players who have cultivated good cards themselves.
Chi Qing followed the screening rules proposed by Chen Xiao and selected 45 70-level full-level accounts that had been registered for more than half a year from the densely packed list of applicants. The members who joined the guild excitedly greeted each other in the guild chat room -
"Hi everyone! I can't believe I was able to squeeze in when I saw the application list was several thousand!"
"Uncle Fat, I am your fan, please help Sun Ce, please help Zhou Yu!"
"Uncle Fat looked at me. I wanted to buy Lin Daiyu, but I never got it."
It is obvious that people who join the guild are here for Uncle Fat, and this is also the current selling point of the Nirvana Guild - our guild has Uncle Fat who can make character cards, and the cards he made broke the world record.
Xie Mingzhe greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Hello everyone, Qingqingcao is the manager of our guild. From now on, everyone will follow Sister Qing's command!"
Many people greeted Sister Qing, fearing that the president would kick them out if she was unhappy - there was still a long queue of people outside who wanted to join, so they had to cherish the opportunity once they got in.
Chi Qing's calm voice rang in everyone's ears: "The players I just let in are all senior players. They will be approved in the order of their application time. Everyone, please read the guild rules first. We will divide into five groups to complete the weekly tasks later."
After hearing this, everyone opened the guild panel to check the announcement.
Nirvana Guild Rules: 1. The weekly guild dungeon must be completed, and the contribution will be checked on Sunday. If it is less than 2000, you will be automatically asked to leave; 2. Guild members must be harmonious and friendly. Those who provoke, quarrel, and fan the flames will be warned for the first time, and will be kicked out directly for the second time; 3. The guild benefits are three cards: Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai. Members can redeem them in the guild store with 10,000 points. Other benefits will be added in the future, so stay tuned.
You can earn guild points by completing guild tasks, playing guild dungeons, and donating materials. Active members can earn 10,000 points in a month. If you go to buy a dungeon-clearing card like Sun Ce, you definitely can't buy it without tens of thousands of gold coins. But now, you can redeem the card for free after completing tasks for a month... Which guild can have such good benefits? !
After seeing the redemption rules, everyone was so excited that they wanted to run a few laps - among thousands of applicants, the first batch of people who joined the Nirvana Guild were like winners of the lottery!
This day happened to be a Thursday, and the guild dungeon CD was reset every Thursday. Chen Xiao chose this time to recruit people so that those who came in could play the guild dungeon immediately and help increase the guild's construction level.
Chen Xiao's account had been deleted before, so there were only five managers left in the guild: Chi Qing, Chi Yingying, Fatty, Jin Yue, and Xie Mingzhe. Chen Xiao said, "It's just right for the five of you to lead a group each."
Xie Mingzhe was a little confused: "I have never played a guild dungeon before, can I lead a group?"
Chen Xiao said: "Let Ah Qing record a video for you, and you will learn it by watching."
Xie Mingzhe thought it would not be difficult, so he agreed.
Chi Qing started to divide the members into groups. She was very efficient and quickly counted the card decks that the 45 members were good at. They were then divided into five small groups according to their respective strengths. The five managers served as group leaders.
After the group was divided, she first led the guild to fight the dungeon, recorded a detailed video and sent it to Xie Mingzhe.
After all, Xie Mingzhe had some basic knowledge of the game, so he understood the Boss's mechanism after watching it twice, so he led the team members to start the guild dungeon at 4 o'clock.
As soon as we entered the dungeon, everyone was very excited: "I'm in the same group with Uncle Fatty, so excited!" "Uncle Fatty, I want to take a photo with you, I met Uncle Fatty in person today!" "Uncle Fatty, I love the beauty cards you drew, come and take a photo with me!"
Xie Mingzhe: “…”
Xie Mingzhe, who was surrounded by a group of people taking photos, felt helpless: "Stop making trouble, we are here to play a dungeon, not to take photos for tourism, everyone be serious..."
However, no matter what he said, the people in the group just gathered around him and took photos with laughter, as if they were treating him as... a mascot?
Well, his image in the game is indeed quite friendly and approachable, like a mascot!
Xie Mingzhe had no choice but to accept his fate and cooperate with everyone in taking a group photo.
Five minutes later, everyone started to move under Xie Mingzhe's persuasion.
Xie Mingzhe said seriously, "This dungeon requires six output cards, two support cards, one treatment card, and one taunt card. First, summon the most commonly used full-level cards for me to see."
Everyone cooperated well to summon cards.
Guild dungeons are very difficult, and you must match your deck well. Xie Mingzhe picked two group attack cards to kill the large number of monsters that appeared during the boss phase, and four cards with the strongest single attack to fight the boss. For the remaining cards, he used Sun Ce to pull monsters, kept a healing card to heal Sun Ce, and two status support cards to add various buffs to teammates.
Seeing how well he arranged the game, the players who were taking photos and joking around also calmed down and listened to his instructions. The fat uncle, who looked quite friendly, gave instructions in a decisive and quick manner, and quickly assigned the decks to start playing the dungeon.
As the five guild groups cleared the dungeon one after another, the members were all actively doing the guild tasks. At five o'clock in the afternoon, a message popped up on the guild channel - Congratulations to the Nirvana Guild for upgrading to a second-level guild, and the number of members increased to 100!
Members were particularly impressed: "We reached level 2 in just one afternoon. I've never seen a guild upgrade so quickly!" "Our guild is going to do big things. We should be proud!" "I just went to the territory and the building design is so beautiful!"
The guild channel was particularly busy, with text and voice messages constantly pouring in.
Chi Qing arranged everything in an orderly manner. Xie Mingzhe deeply felt that it was the right choice for Brother Chen to hand over the guild to Sister Qing.
At this time, Chen Xiao suddenly sent a private message: "Thank you for coming over, let's upgrade quickly."
Xie Mingzhe has been making cards these days. His character is only level 40. Unlike cards, characters can be upgraded by simply feeding them experience stones. Characters usually gain experience by killing monsters and completing tasks. The character's level is linked to mental strength, which determines the number of cards that can be used at the same time.
When playing a dungeon, everyone forms a team, and the level of the characters doesn't matter, as long as they reach the dungeon entry threshold of level 35. But the arena is different. If you are a level 40 person playing against a level 70 person, and the other person can summon 7 cards at a time, while you can only summon 4 cards, it's strange that you can win.
The entry restriction to the arena is that the character must be of the maximum level.
So, Xie Mingzhe, who was level 40, took Chen Xiao, who had just reached level 10, to the wilds of Egret Star to gain experience.
The monster spawning point that Chen Xiao chose had a lot of wild monsters, and their attack power was not high. Xie Mingzhe was able to control both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu with ease, and his experience increased rapidly. At seven o'clock in the evening, Fatty was already level 45, and Chen Xiao also reached level 30 by using his experience from high-level monsters.
…
In the next few days, Chi Qing was busy leading members to complete tasks, so Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao teamed up to gain experience and level up together.
The sales volume of cards in Yueban Card Store has been controlled at around 50 cards per day.
The official regulation is that the maximum number of cards a card maker can make per day is 100. This is also to protect the card makers and prevent some players from overusing their mental energy and damaging their brains.
Xie Mingzhe gets up every morning to make 5 sets of instant death cards, totaling 50 cards, and hang them up in the store to sell; in the afternoon, he makes some Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai cards. These cards are guild benefits, and members will definitely be able to accumulate enough points to redeem them after a month, so he has to prepare in advance.
Fortunately, directly copying cards does not consume much mental energy. After Chen Xiao's level rose, he took the initiative to control the cards to go to Bailu Star to kill wild monsters so that Xie Mingzhe could rest his brain and follow him to gain experience. The two of them combined work and rest every day, and their character levels were rising rapidly.
By Sunday, Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe's character levels had finally reached level 70.
Level 70 is the maximum level for characters in the game, and the maximum level is just the real beginning of the game.
In card games, all players have the same attributes after their characters reach the maximum level, and there is no need to build equipment. The card deck is the only reference for comparing the strengths of players. Casual players may only raise some cute pet cards and be satisfied with just looking at the scenery in the game; but for players who want to play in the arena, the card deck is the top priority.
As Fat Uncle's character reached the maximum level, there were a lot of system notifications in his mailbox. Xie Mingzhe glanced through the emails and received the maximum level rewards with one click. The rewards were all materials for strengthening cards, which was considered a benefit from the official to players who reached the maximum level.
He deleted all the irrelevant emails and kept only the most important ones marked in red.
——An invitation from the Phoenix Star Region!
After opening the email, I saw the following message: "Dear player, congratulations on reaching level 70 and unlocking all the gameplay in the Star Card World. The Phoenix Star Domain of the Arena sincerely invites you. As long as you have seven level 70 black cards, you can enter the Phoenix Star Domain and officially participate in the Star Card Ranked Tournament!
The levels of the Star Card Ranked Competition are divided into seven stages, from low to high: Level 1 [Star Card Apprentice], Level 2 [Apprentice Star Card Master], Level 3 [Intern Star Card Master], Level 4 [Junior Star Card Expert], Level 5 [Intermediate Star Card Expert], Level 6 [Advanced Star Card Expert] and Level 7 [Star Card Master].
If you have outstanding talent and can become the highest-ranked [Star Card Master], then you will have a ticket to the national [Star Card Master Invitational Tournament]. The Master Invitational Tournament, which starts in January every year, is the only way to the professional league. Players who perform well in the Master Tournament can obtain league registration qualifications and sign contracts with major clubs to become real professional players!
A new journey is about to begin, and we look forward to your good results in the qualifying rounds!"
Xie Mingzhe has read countless official emails since he entered the game, but this one is the most exciting one for him.
Invitation to the Competition Star!
He had once followed Tang Muzhou to the competition star, and Tang Muzhou himself built a competition room to show him the effect of Lin Daiyu's instant death card. But to really enter the formal Phoenix Star Domain ranking competition, one must reach the full level of 70 characters and have at least 7 full-level black cards.
Phoenix Star Region is relatively independent from other star regions. It only hosts various competitions, including the "Star Card Master Invitational Tournament" with the largest number of participants, and the "Star Card Alliance Professional League" with the highest level.
Unlike the warm and harmonious other star regions, Phoenix Star Region is full of battlefields filled with gunpowder and smoke. Here, only strength speaks. For players who can make a name for themselves in Phoenix Star Region, in addition to excellent awareness, the card deck is also a very important factor.
Seven full-level black cards are just the threshold for entry.
How could a true master player only have seven cards?
And Xie Mingzhe now... doesn't even have seven cards!
The instant death card does not count, because there is a strict limit of one instant death card per game. Currently, the only competitive cards he can use to play in the ranking match are Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai. He can't even build a basic deck. He must speed up and make some cards suitable for playing in the arena.
Why not ask Master how to match the deck?
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe opened his friend list and wanted to send a message to his master. As if by telepathy, Chen Qianlin also sent him a voice message using his secondary account: "Xiao Xie, I see that you have reached the maximum level. Do you want to play in the arena ranking?"
Xie Mingzhe said, "Of course I want to go! But I don't have enough cards. Master, I'm looking for you."
Chen Qianlin said: "Pull me to your personal space."
A moment later, Chen Qianlin's trumpet "Dead Tree Revived in Spring" came to Xie Mingzhe's personal space.
The master's smurf used a passerby face that came with the system, which was far inferior to his real temperament. However, his voice was his real voice, which sounded clear and pleasant. He said directly: "Show me your current deck."
Xie Mingzhe took him into the study and introduced: "I made 10 instant death cards, and there are Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai."
Chen Qianlin asked: "You know you can only bring one instant death card per game, right?"
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Yeah, Master Tang told me."
Chen Qianlin said, "In fact, most players in the low-end arena have messy decks and don't need instant death cards at all. When you reach the fourth tier, the Star Card Expert and above, you will have more regular decks, and then you can choose instant death cards specifically. You have to start from the lowest tier now, and it's best to make a universal deck."
He picked out Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai with his slender fingers and said, "You can use these three cards, but you still need to make four more competition cards. Zhou Yu alone doesn't have enough attack power. If you use your group attack skill, the opponent will heal you and it will be a waste of time. Make another group attack card, preferably a fire card, to match your Zhou Yu to build a fire deck."
In a dungeon, you can use three Zhou Yu cards to set fire, but the cards in the arena cannot be repeated, and it is definitely not enough to use Zhou Yu alone. The master's suggestion makes sense. If it is a double fire group attack card, a set of skills will kill the opponent.
Chen Qianlin reminded: "In addition, you are still missing a control auxiliary card, either single control or group control. You need to create control effects such as stun, silence, freeze, petrify, and stun to destroy the combat effectiveness of the opponent's cards."
Xie Mingzhe touched his chin thoughtfully: "Master, if Huang Gai uses this card to play in the arena, will he not be able to add enough blood?" When playing in the dungeon, Huang Gai only needs to focus on Sun Ce's blood, but in the arena, a deck has seven cards. He can only add a shield to one teammate by reducing the blood by 20%. He will be powerless when encountering a situation where the group loses blood.
Chen Qianlin said: "Huang Gai has to take the initiative to reduce his health when he adds attack and shield. The opponent may take advantage of his low health to kill him instantly. You can make a healing card to stabilize the situation."
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Then let's make a group healing card. When the opponent launches a high-damage group attack, I can activate the group healing card. Having a group healing card can stabilize the blood line and increase the error tolerance rate."
Chen Qianlin praised, "That's right. Almost everyone in the arena has a group therapy card. Because of this, the official requirements for treatment cards are not so strict. It's easy to pass the review, as long as the description is not completely repeated in other cards."
His deck still lacks group attack, control, and healing cards...
First think about how to make a fire-type group attack card.
Xie Mingzhe tilted his head and thought carefully for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
——Since we have made a Dongwu dungeon team, why not make a Dongwu competitive team!
There are so many famous generals in Wu that it is more than enough to make seven sets of cards.
Zhou Yu's Burning of Red Cliffs was a fire-based group attack, and there was also a person in the Wu Kingdom who was closely related to "fire".
——Lu Xun, courtesy name Boyan, was the most important military strategist in the late Wu Kingdom.
If Zhou Yu's Battle of Chibi established the situation of three kingdoms of the world among Wei, Shu and Wu, then Lu Xun's burning of the camps in the Battle of Yiling also made great contributions to the Eastern Wu regime ruled by Sun Quan.
If we have Zhou Yu’s “Burning of Red Cliffs”, how can we miss Lu Xun’s “Burning of the Alliance Camps”?
