Chapter 315: Chapter 119: The Sheep and Rabbit in Reality_3
Skills: [Double Strike][Bright Blade Slash][Fragrant Flower][Mysterious Iron Stick][Demon Qi Buddha Bead]
"As expected, you didn’t disappoint. With an overall score close to 300, your Follower card might have over a 60% win rate even if left to AI."
Show Director nodded approvingly.
"How about you and I have a duel?"
Looking at the Sheep Rabbit holding an iron stick in one hand and Buddha Beads in the other, Ree Shil wanted to test its strength.
"Stop kidding around. If I go against you, who will guide you?"
Show Director waved his hand dismissively.
Bullying beginners, that’s no fun at all.
"Don’t worry, we just need to wait a little longer."
"Before I came in, I hit ’Welcome to Duel’; if someone sees it, they’ll definitely join the room."
As soon as Show Director finished speaking, a red light lit up in their room.
This meant someone had entered the opponent room and they could prepare for the duel.
"See, what did I tell you, get ready for battle."
Then she smirked.
They waited there for a few minutes.
Vrrr!
Another green light lit up.
"The opponent is ready, put on the Holographic Control Helmet."
She fetched a semi-enclosed helmet from the side of the console.
"This device lets you control your Follower cards via brainwaves, or you can call it telepathy if you want."
"Whether you use the first-person view or third-person view, adjust it to your personal preference." freёwebnovel.com
The helmet was equipped with a short antenna and output goggles which allowed you to see the arena directly.
"Can I use the second-person view?"
Ree Shil put on the helmet.
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to watch your Follower card beating you up?"
Show Director knocked on the helmet with her knuckles, a bit annoyed.
But honestly, she had heard about fans of that kind of thing.
They used the second-person view to control their Follower cards.
However, this was a regulated club open to all ages and that kind of thing was not offered here.
Vrrr!
As soon as Ree Shil finished setting everything, a third yellow light lit up.
This indicated that both sides of the Follower cards had completed the connection and would soon appear on the arena.
"Alright, let’s play."
"I’ll be right here watching, and I won’t interfere as much as possible."
Show Director moved aside and started watching through the screen.
To make it easier for Ree Shil to adjust, she helped set the Primitive Land for this match.
It was the simplest type of battlefield, made of large stone bricks.
Vrrr!
A blue light pillar fell, and the Sheep Rabbit appeared on the battlefield.
Vrrr!
Another light pillar immediately followed, falling on the other side of the ring.
Show Director: "Huh?"
The one standing across from the Sheep Rabbit was a mystery creature.
It looked like a combined image of a wolf and fox.
Its beast hair was fluffy, and the shape resembled clouds and cotton candy, and it came in eight different colors.
The seven colors of a rainbow plus the black of the clouds total eight colors.
[Interesting, is my opponent a fox-eared girl this time?]
A slightly childish voice, where one couldn’t distinguish between male and female, echoed from the arena’s public loudspeaker.
Listening to the other side’s comment, Ree Shil was taken aback.
"The helmet has a voice communication feature that is activated using brainwaves," She reminded him.
[Hello]
So, he replied curiously.
[Hello Hello, please wait for a moment]
The Other Side responded while controlling the eight-colored wolf-fox to rush to one corner of the arena.
It lifted its hind leg, trembling towards the corner of the arena.
Bang, crackle!
A flash of lightning fired like a jet of urine.
[What are you..]
Ree Shil didn’t understand.
[A little warm-up before the start of the game, don’t mind me, here we go, Spinach!]
As it spoke, the eight-colored wolf-fox ran towards the second corner.
Bang, crackle!
The third corner.
Bang, crackle!
The fourth corner.
Bang, crackle!
Once every corner of the arena was occupied, the eight-colored wolf-fox returned to its original position.
If Ree Shil was not mistaken, it even looked quite satisfied.
[Alright, let’s begin]
The Other Side finally declared.
[OK]
Ree Shil nodded, just about to give Sheep Rabbit a command when he saw the four corners of the arena suddenly light up.
Bam, crackle! X4
Four bolts of lightning shot towards the sky of the arena, consolidating to form a disc composed of a bright blue electrical glow.
And then...
Boom!
A heavy thunderbolt that covered half of the ring struck directly onto Sheep Rabbit and the eight-colored wolf-fox.
Everything in vision was blocked out by the electric blue light.
Vrrr...
Ree Shil vaguely felt a vibration from the helmet, then a line of text popped up on his goggles.
[The battle is over, you lost]
"This..."
He was a bit dazed.
[Hahaha! How about that! Surprised?]
A satisfied laughter echoed from the Other Side, indicating this was their masterpiece.
"So it wasn’t some mumbo-jumbo at all. I’ve been tricked..."
Ree Shil finally figured it out.
"..."
He didn’t see that Show Director, who was next to him, was rubbing her forehead.
This less than thrilling battle made Ree Shil switch back on the voice communication.
[You got your way this time, let’s go again]
[Alright, here we go, Spinach!]
So the two of them went back on stage again.
Ree Shil still had the Sheep Rabbit, and the opponent was still the eight-colored wolf-fox.
However, this time, the opponent did not resort to any tricks and defeated a not yet proficient Ree Shil in conventional warfare.
[The battle is over, you lost]
[Let’s go again]
[Alright~]
[The battle is over, you lost]
[Let’s go again]
[Alright~]
[The battle is over, you lost]
[Let’s go again]
[Alright~]
As a result, Ree Shil became more invested in the duel and just couldn’t win.
After losing more than a dozen battles in a row, it was then he suddenly remembered something.
"I’m sorry, Director."
Removing his helmet, he looked at Show Director, "I lost myself in the game and forgot about everything else, has the person you’re waiting for arrived yet?"
"Um... yes."
Show Director didn’t know how to explain: "It’s been right in front of you, my friend."
"In front? You mean..."
Ree Shil paused for two seconds before reacting.
The one who had been repeatedly bullying him, was Show Director’s friend?
"Yes, that’s it."
"And, this guy wasn’t using the original form of the Follower card."
Show Director rolled her eyes.
"?"
If Ree Shil recalled correctly, she mentioned before that if a card player wanted to, they could arm themselves with an equipment card and enter the arena as a projection.
Does that mean that that friend’s original form was an eight-colored wolf-fox?
