Free Web NovelChapter 1004: Chapter 366: I’ve Arrived at the Kung Fu Kingdom
Buzz!
Ree Shil had just returned to the Pure White Space and instantly saw Museum Director Phoenix, who followed shortly after.
"Coach Shil, what’s the situation here?"
This address expressed his slight urgency at the moment.
"Can we arrange another match right away?"
But Ree Shil responded with a question of his own.
"Uh, let me see if I can arrange that..."
Seeing Ree Shil’s expression, Museum Director Phoenix found it a bit difficult to refuse.
It was understandable, given the S-rank task at hand.
After all, he himself had several on his hands, just that now they were beyond his ability to tackle.
When first obtained, his excitement was even greater than this Young Lad’s.
One advantage of online matches is that they take the word "flexibility" to the extreme.
Card players who go online to play cards do so for convenience and to utilize fragmented time.
After all, card players often need to enter Instances and also have private affairs in life to deal with.
That’s why the King Manager discarded the elimination competition format and switched to a score-based system.
Whoever is available gets to play.
For Ree Shil, this too is a pretty good platform.
In the future, if he gets a new card or has some new ideas, he could easily go online and find an opponent to test the card deck’s effectiveness and power.
Unexpectedly, Museum Director Phoenix proved to be rather helpful and quickly arranged for Ree Shil to match with another rising new Player.
After 30 Minutes, both sides entered the Card table at the same time.
This time the space was no longer a circular Arena, but a dimly-lit small Room.
Between the two was a green-felt wooden Card table, resembling those from a retro Casino.
"Hello, Player Henry Thompson."
"Hello, Stink Bomb."
Opposite Ree Shil was a large round ball floating in mid-air.
The surface of the ball was smooth, with a pure steel color and devoid of any patterns or anything else.
In online matches, people would shape themselves into all kinds of figures, and so too their codenames would vary. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The other party seemed to prefer Silence, not speaking after the greeting as both proceeded to lay their cards.
Once the card arrangement was complete, the round ball was the first to Reveal its three cards.
[Gaga Gaga!]
The first to enter was a grotesque figure with limbs twisted and blue skin.
Beyond the limbs being in discordant angles and proportions, its facial features were also severely twisted.
It looked rather scary, somewhat akin to a Humanoid Mourning Beast.
If it was a Zombie Beast, Ree Shil would be quite disappointed since Zombie Beasts don’t belong to the living.
But when he saw the name of the other party’s card, his expression brightened slightly.
[Biochemical Failure]
Berserk, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100
[Failed Toxin—Passive]: The attack of the Biochemical Failure carries 10 Points of [Poisoning]
[Jealous Psychology—Passive]: When a Biochemical Success is present, Biochemical Failure’s Attack Power increases by 10
[Viral Spread—Passive]: When Biochemical Failure exits, it inflicts the [Infected] Effect on targets that have attacked it
[Latent Outburst—Passive]: Targets [Infected] by Biochemical Failure will spawn an [Infected Body] upon exit
[Infected Body]
Berserk, 5 Points, E-Rank
Attack 5, 5/5
It was clear to see that this was a Linked Card.
And it had a quite novel setting, allowing a target that had attacked it to become a secondary Summoning card when exiting.
Although the face value of this secondary Summoning card was poor, it could become a considerable DPS source if their numbers grew.
Also, it was a Linked Card.
Nevertheless, what Ree Shil was more concerned about was that this should qualify as a new Species.
Tasks like those of the Spirit Master Red Dragon are challenging, so rare, independent species like this are sought after.
[Gaga Gaga!]
The figure revealed by the second card was nearly identical to the [Biochemical Failure], with equally twisted limbs and features.
The only difference was that its skin color appeared normal.
"What kind of success is this? It looks quite like a failure too."
Ree Shil couldn’t help but snark.
[Biochemical Success]
Berserk, 30 Points, A
Attack 30, 130/130
[Successful Toxin—Passive]: The attack and defense of Biochemical Success carry 10 Points of [Poisoning]
[Toxin Fusion—Passive]: The [Poisoning] from Biochemical Success can stack with Biochemical Failure’s [Poisoning] for one layer
[Finished Product—Passive]: The Health Points of Biochemical Success are increased by 30
[Biochemical Resonance—30 Health Points]: When Biochemical Success attacks a target, it triggers an additional outbreak of the [Poisoning] effect in effect that round
After examining the card face, he realized that although this card had a Linked Effect with [Biochemical Failure], it was completely different in its approach.
An attack and defense with Poisoning was quite rare.
When combined with [Biochemical Failure]’s Poison stacks, and activating [Biochemical Resonance], it could deal an additional 20 Points of unreducible poison Damage, effectively causing the target to suffer 40 Points of Poisoning in one round—an impressive DPS.
[Protection, Command, Activated...]
The third card of the round ball was a roller-type pyramid Robot.
This style looked vaguely familiar to Ree Shil.
Then he saw the name, and immediately understood.
[D-45]
Listening to the Wind, 0 Points, A
Attack 0, 100/100, 0/3
[Protective Field—Passive]: When D-45 is in a State of Stillness, it grants 10 Points of [Shield] to all cards in the same row
[Resistance Core—Passive]: When D-45 has a [Shield] in rounds where it takes damage, damage taken is reduced by 10
[Kinetic Sensing Device—Passive]: For every 2 instances of damage taken by D-45, it gains 1 Energy Point
[Battlefield Upgrade—3 Energy Points]: D-45 undergoes an onsite upgrade, enhancing the [Shield] value of [Protective Field] by 5 (can be upgraded repeatedly)
It seemed like another version of his own [A-40] robot, hinting that this card player might have also entered the Mechanic Principality’s Instance World.
