When Xiao Lou and the others returned to the villa, Lao Mo and the others had not returned yet.
It was Wednesday afternoon in the main city, and the weekly routine had passed. Xiao Lou opened his laptop and logged into the challenger forum - this week's weekly routine was the Club Chamber of Secrets, and all the challengers were pulled into a huge casino to play cards.
The challengers do not need to work as a team, but fight individually. There are 10 people at each card table. Points will be obtained for winning each round. According to the "last elimination system", after ten consecutive rounds, the person with the lowest ranking on the table will be eliminated.
Eliminated from the competition, the elimination rate is controlled at 10%.
This week does not sound difficult, but because of the inability to work as a team, if a person who does not know how to play cards enters the club week, it will take time to understand the rules of the game. If you are unlucky, you are likely to be eliminated. Xiao Louxin
I think it's a good thing they avoided the weekly secret room this week. Otherwise, it's not certain whether the eight of them could collectively survive the plum blossom week.
Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Lou took Ye Qi and Liu Qiao to the kitchen to cook, while Yu Hanjiang sorted out the cards everyone drew on the computer.
At 6:30 in the evening, Mo Xuemin and four others also came back.
The four of them looked relaxed, and they obviously did not encounter too many difficulties in the square chamber. Shao Qingge rubbed his temples and said: "I felt dizzy spinning in the maze. Fortunately, Lao Mo was with me. Let me find it by myself."
I definitely won’t be able to find my way out.”
Qu Wanyue asked with a smile: "Is it going well for you in Hearts and Spades? Are you back so early?"
Ye Qi said excitedly: "It went very well, and we drew 6 good cards!"
Xiao Lou said: "Everyone eats first. After dinner, we will just count the cards and try out the functions of the newly drawn cards."
Everyone smelled the fragrance and came to sit down at the dining table.
Xiao Lou cooked a few simple home-cooked dishes and then summoned Su Shi.
The time in the secret room world and the main city world are different. It was Tuesday when the 7 of Spades card was drawn, and today is Wednesday in the main city. Su Shi's skills are cooled down based on the number of days. At this time, they have all been reset - he can make another bowl.
Dongpo meat.
Seeing a man wearing ancient clothes and a handsome smile appearing nearby, Lao Mo asked curiously: "Who is this?"
Xiao Lou said: "Su Shi, his 3rd skill can make a bowl of Dongpo Pork. You guys should try it too."
Everyone: “…………”
Sure enough, a steaming bowl of Dongpo Pork appeared on the table. The color was like fine agate. The portion of the small bowl was not much, just enough for each person to eat one piece. Everyone picked up their chopsticks and put the meat into their mouths.
inside.
Lao Mo's eyes immediately lit up: "It's so delicious!"
Ronson said excitedly: "This is the most delicious meat I have ever eaten!"
Even Shao Qingge, who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's more delicious than the Dongpo pork in a five-star hotel. Is this really made by Su Dongpo himself?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "Yes, he can only make one bowl every day."
Everyone looked at Xiao Lou with complicated expressions - the cards Professor Xiao drew were getting more and more strange, Bai Juyi lit the charcoal fire, and Su Shi made Dongpo Pork. Will he have to drink if he draws Li Bai in the future?
After the meal, Xiao Lou called everyone to the swimming pool, summoned Li Qingzhao and Su Shi to introduce the skills and usage in detail, and then said: "Old Mo, how many cards did you draw?"
Mo Xuemin said: "The levels 5, 6, and 7 of clubs are all reward cards. We drew a total of 6 treasure boxes at diamonds 5, 6, and 7. Because we passed the level with an S rating, all we drew were S cards.
"
Lao Mo has passed these levels before, and there is no reward for re-entering. This trip is equivalent to a voluntary part-time job. Watching his teammates draw an S card, Lao Mo couldn't be more envious. Xiao Lou knew his
Thoughts, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If you get an S pass score in the future, Lao Mo, you will have priority in the lottery."
Mo Xuemin touched his nose and said with a smile: "Ahem, it doesn't matter. We are a team anyway. Whoever draws the good cards will be the same." He looked at Long Sen, Qu Wanyue and his wife, and said: "You two have drawn the best cards.
Let’s take out the cards and show them to everyone.”
Since Mo Xuemin was unable to draw the lottery, Long, Qu and Shao each drew 2 treasure boxes in the square secret room, for a total of 6 treasure boxes.
Long Sen works in a sports school in the real world, and the cards he draws are all related to sports——
[Tool brand: Super badminton]
Rarity:s
Additional skill 1: Straight lob
Effect of use: Use a super badminton racket to hit the badminton straight to any position within a range of 500 meters. If it hits the target's body, the target will be knocked unconscious for 5 seconds; this skill has no cooling time, but can it hit people with the ball?
It depends on your badminton playing skills.
Additional skill 2: Assault smash
Effect of use: Immediately smash the badminton down from a high place. If it hits the target's fatal parts, such as temples and heart, the target will enter a state of near-death shock. If no rescue is available within 10 minutes, the target will die.
This skill has no cooldown time, but it is very difficult to hit the fatal part. It is recommended to practice more.
Note: There are a total of 50 balls in a bucket of badmintons. The balls that are played can be picked up and used again, but the badmintons may be damaged after being played, and they cannot be used if they are damaged. The number of badmintons is fixed. If 50 are used up, the card will become invalid. Go to next time
It will only be refreshed when entering the secret room.
Xiao Lou saw this card and asked with interest: "Can you play badminton?"
Ronson smiled and scratched his head: "I know how to hit, and my skills are not bad. No matter how I hit 50 balls, there will always be a few that can hit someone, right?"
Ye Qi praised: "My flute controller can be targeted, but it has a cooling time. Brother Long's card cannot be targeted. The advantage is that there is no cooling. If you can aim, you can quickly hit a dozen balls to knock out all the opponents."
Got it!"
Liu Qiao said: "The second skill is somewhat similar to my Poison Queen. They both kill the target instantly. However, it is very difficult to operate."
Xiao Lou looked at Long Sen and said objectively: "There is no skill cooldown and 50 balls are given for you to use as you wish. Of course, the difficulty of operation will increase. It seems that you need to practice playing badminton more in the future."
Long Sen nodded: "Well... I still have to practice football."
He took out the second card and handed it to Xiao Lou.
[Tool brand: Super Football]
Rarity:s
Additional skill 1: Shooting
Usage effect: Kick the football out with one kick, and it can be kicked up to 500 meters. The football falls from the sky and makes a pit on the ground. The targets within 10 meters around the pit will be shocked by your stinky feet and will not want to attack in the next 10 seconds.
.Cooling time 30 minutes.
Additional skill 2: Dribbling the ball
Effect of use: Athletes with footballs at their feet still move like wind. During the "driving with the ball" period, they can make themselves immune to any form of control and damage, and accelerate 200%, just like running wildly on the court. Of course, if you run
Halfway through, if the football is intercepted, the buff state of dribbling the ball will be transferred to the person who intercepted the ball. The buff state lasts for 10 minutes. The cooling time is 45 minutes.
Ye Qi saw the two newly drawn cards by Long Sen, and then remembered the previous card [Long Jumper] that could zombie jump. He couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Long, you are worthy of being from a sports school. You are almost all-round in sports."
Got it!"
Long Sen smiled bitterly: "But I'm not very good at playing football. I guess I was intercepted after taking a few steps with the ball."
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and said: "This card actually has another use, which is relay passing. We can relay the football as a team, so that everyone can gain short-term acceleration and avoid injuries."
While dribbling the ball, if the football is intercepted, the buff status will be transferred.
But what if it is actively intercepted by teammates? Wouldn’t everyone enjoy the buff state in a period of time?
Long Sen's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly: "That's right! I'll carry the ball for half a minute and then kick it to Professor Xiao. If we take turns using it this way, everyone can get the benefits of being immune to damage and increasing their speed!"
Ye Qi complained: "In future team battles, we can fight and play football at the same time, right?"
Shao Qingge said with a smile: "Whoever gets the ball at his feet will avoid injury. Our opponents will probably be annoyed by us."
Ye Qi said: "Shall I play another erhu to accompany you?"
Everyone: "..."
The painting style is so beautiful, I feel like their team is about to become a "funny group".
Liu Qiao looked at Qu Wanyue curiously: "What cards did Teacher Qu draw? Could it be related to dance?"
Qu Wanyue took out the two cards she drew.
One S card is [Swan Lake], which summons a large number of ballet dancers within a designated 500-meter range to perform the classic ballet "Swan Lake" for 10 minutes. No one can bypass the scene of the stage play. It is very domineering.
Isolation technique: when escaping, put a Swan Lake behind you, and the pursuing opponent will have no choice but to stop where you are and wait for the ballet to finish.
The other card is called [Latin Dance King]. After activating the card, you can make your body soft to the extreme and bend at will.
Liu Qiao was startled: "Bend it at will? How far can it be bent?"
Qu Wanyue used the King of Dance card. She bent her body down and easily grasped her toes with both hands. Spreading her legs and doing a "one-piece horse" was just a common dish - as a dance teacher, these are basic skills. But
, after using the King of Dance card, her entire body was as soft as boneless, her fingers and arms could actually be bent into an "S" shape, and her head could rotate 180 degrees.
Seeing her suddenly turning her face behind her, Xiao Lou was also startled.
Qu Wanyue said: "This card can change the softness of the body. After using it, I can drill through a hole the size of a plate. It's very similar to...the bone-shrinking skill in martial arts novels?"
Xiao Lou smiled and praised: "Yes, with the Chameleon Card, there is almost no place that Teacher Qu cannot reach."
After reading the cards drawn by Long, Qu and his wife, it was finally Shao Qingge’s turn.
Ye Qi joked: "A rich person wouldn't spare a bank, would he?"
Shao Qingge raised his eyebrows and said: "The card this time is a little easier to use than the [automatic teller machine], but it is very expensive."
The four of them in Xiao Lou didn’t quite understand, why do cards cost money?
Until Shao Qingge took out two cards from the card bag and handed them to Xiao Lou——
S-level special effects card [Stock Curve]
Description: The turbulent stock market affects the mood of investors, and of course also affects everyone's combat effectiveness.
Effect of use: Spend 1 million gold coins to draw a stock market curve on the LCD screen. When the stock price rises, the range of all friendly card skills increases by 50%, and the attack hit rate increases by 50%; when the stock price falls, the enemy
The scope of all card skills of the party is reduced by 50%, and the hit rate is reduced by 50%. The stock curve exists for 10 minutes, and the rise and fall can be controlled at will. The cooling time is 4 hours.
Xiao Lou was startled. The card that Mr. Shao drew was a team auxiliary card. According to the rise and fall of the stock curve, our side will increase the range and hit points, while the enemy will decrease the range and hit points. Although there is only one skill that can affect
For the whole group, the effect is actually very strong.
Especially Yu Hanjiang's weapon, when the range is increased by 50%, it can only kill targets 1,000 meters away. However, Mr. Shao's stock has risen, and Team Yu's gun can kill targets 1,500 meters away.
In addition, Ye Qi's musical instrument cards, Xiao Lou's character cards for field control, Long Sen's badminton and football cards, and even Lao Mo's model room and dye cards can all receive substantial range and hit bonuses.
The second card Shao Qingge drew was a bit hard to describe...
S-level special effects card [rich and willful]
Description: Do you think rich people are happy? No, in fact rich people are countless times happier than you think.
Effect of use: If you have money, you can buy whatever you want.
After using the special effect card, 5 million gold coins will be deducted from your account and you can copy any card you have seen within 24 hours.
Note: It can only be copied in the secret room world, and skills cannot be activated in the main city. A secret room can be copied up to three times. The so-called "three things cannot be done". Although you have money, you should not be too spendthrift. If the account balance is insufficient, the skill release will fail.
Everyone: “…………”
Mr. Shao's card can be called the "prodigal card". It costs 5 million to use the skill once!
However, the usage effect is indeed worthy of the strength of this card.
Copy the cards you have seen within 24 hours. Not only can you copy your teammates' cards, you can also copy your opponent's cards!
A secret room can copy 3 cards at a time. If you specifically select the powerful S card on the opposite side to copy, the combat effectiveness of the entire team will be greatly improved. Although Mr. Shao's two cards cost money, they are extremely powerful auxiliary cards.
Xiao Loudao: "We have rented a house these days and spent a lot of money on buying a car. Do we still have enough financial reserves?"
Shao Qingge rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "It's not enough. [Rich and Willful], this special effect card, will need a lot of financial support in the future. A skill release costs 5 million, and a trip to the secret room costs 15 million. It's time to put our
The opal bracelet was sold."
Lao Mo said: "Leave this matter to me. I know the jewelry auction and can find an agent to help us."
Yu Hanjiang had been opening his laptop nearby to take notes. After collecting all the new cards, he made an information form and sent it to the WeChat group, saying: "This is all the cards currently in our team. Everyone, please take a closer look.
, I’ll try it in actual combat later.”
After a while, everyone came to the swimming pool under the leadership of Captain Yu.
Qu Wanyue was very interested in Liu Qiao's new card: "Hai's daughters collectively turned into mermaids, will they grow tails?"
Liu Qiao used cards in the water and actually grew a beautiful mermaid tail, which amazed everyone!
Xiao Lou also summoned all the character cards and tried Su Shi's 2 skills. He found that Su Shi's skills only affected historical figures, Liu Qiao's Little Red Riding Hood, Thumbelina, the Poison Queen, etc., which were fictional characters in fairy tales, not real people.
will not be refreshed.
Ye Qi played the erhu and guzheng, trying out the control range and time of the new instrument.
Long Sen was playing badminton and football beside him, while Qu Wanyue played a ballet...
Everyone was experimenting with new cards with great interest. Only Yu Hanjiang stood aside, folding his arms and watching everyone play, with a serious look on his face.
Xiao Lou walked up to him and said with a smile: "Captain Yu, don't you give it a try?"
Yu Hanjiang took out his newly drawn hand, installed a silencer, and looked at a badminton that fell into the swimming pool.
He squinted his eyes, took aim, and pulled the trigger.
Silently, the badminton ball shoots directly through the quilt/bounce instantly!
Long Sen, who was playing badminton next to him, couldn't help but shed a stream of cold sweat on his forehead: "Team Yu is still awesome!"
Everyone's cards were messy, but Yu Hanjiang's was simple and crude.
No matter how strong the hand was, in front of his gun, it was like a child playing house.
Xiao Lou couldn't help but admire him: "Captain Yu's marksmanship is very accurate."
Yu Hanjiang, who was praised, nodded seriously and said, "I already touched a gun when I was ten years old, so I don't need to go out of my way to practice."
When everyone heard this, they gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Lou believed that if it really came to a life-and-death moment and Yu Hanjiang had no choice but to shoot, he would definitely be able to kill him with one blow.
***
That night, everyone used all the cards in the villa, and they didn't rest until late at night.
In the next two days, Lao Mo took Mr. Shao to the auction to dispose of their cat's eye bracelets. Each bracelet was sold at a good price. The wallet that was about to be spent was filled again. Shao Qingge's personal account funds exceeded
80 million, Xiao Lou also saved 80 million.
After making all preparations, everyone took a half-day rest and opened the A-level secret room at 23:55 on Friday night.
According to Jiu Ge and Tang Ci's description, the plot of the A-level secret room is random, and there is no way to guide it. You can only rely on yourself for everything.
Among the four types of suits, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and drew [8 of Hearts] from the wall of cards in tacit agreement.
When they go to solve the puzzle in the secret room, at least they don't have to worry about the lives of their teammates, and the two of them are confident that they can solve the puzzle of the A-level secret room on their own.
A reminder flashed before everyone’s eyes at the same time——
[A-level secret room will be opened soon]
[The plot is being generated, countdown to 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...]
[Role assignment completed]
[Welcome to the world of 8 of Hearts: War in Troubled Times]
