Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 972: Chapter 350: S-level Iron Rod_2

After saying that, Museum Director Phoenix left the room.

"..."

Left alone, Ree Shil’s room regained its tranquility.

It was only at this moment that he finally had some time alone.

"It’s not easy to send everyone away.

Let’s take a bath first."

After bathing and changing clothes, he lay down on the bed.

There needs to be a sense of ritual when it comes to S-rank material cards.

So he closed his eyes and pulled all the card decks into the preview panel.

An hour later, he sat up.

"S-rank Card..."

Unexpectedly, just like last time, there was only 1 card in his deck compatible with[Primordial Gold].

[Iron stick]+[Primordial Gold]=[Iron stick]

Just like last time, there was no change in the card face.

"As a pure strength card, what would the S-rank task for[Iron stick]be, and what would it ultimately look like?"

With such curiosity, he held one card in his left hand and the other in his right hand, then slapped them together.

Hum!

A flash of light spilled between his hands, and the card formed.

The card projection still showed the same unadorned iron stick.

But with it came lines of mission text.

[S-rank task:"Summit of Cosmic Weapons"]

[If you want to become the strongest weapon]

[You must go through endless trials]

[Swing the iron stick with your own hands a hundred million times]

[0/100000000]

[Upon completion of the task, the iron stick will evolve into——]

[Beginning Stick]

Ree Shil: "???"

Is this a joke? A hundred million times?!

This astronomical number made his eyes bulge.

In the Cube Card Metaverse, cards cannot be materialized.

That is to say, this task can only be done in the Instance.

And it must be the kind of Instance where equipment cards can be carried.

He waved his hand in the air, simulating the posture of swinging an iron stick.

Ree Shil began to calculate.

Assuming it takes him more than a second to swing the stick, let’s say it’s 3,600 seconds in an hour, so he can swing it 3,000 times or so. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Subtract eating, sleeping, chatting, driving from a day, and there are still 10 hours left.

He can swing the stick about 30,000 times.

So a hundred million divided by thirty thousand is...3333 days?

This would take almost ten years! freёwebnovel.com

No, be more diligent, swing for 20 hours a day, 60,000 times.

That would still take five years.

"I heard that the difficulty of S-rank tasks is randomly high or low, even unrelated to the strength of the finished product.

But spending 5-10 years, this time span is a bit too large.

It would have been great if I were a fast-handed mechanical arm robot..."

As he mumbled to himself, a ray of light suddenly shone on him.

"Oh! I almost forgot about the second talent!"

Ree Shil was delighted and quickly reopened the task panel to check.

[Swing the iron stick by hand ten million times]

[0/1000000]

"Yay!

[S-rank Expert]is forever God!"

The task count was reduced by tenfold.

From 3333 days, it became 333.33 days.

"If it’s this amount, it doesn’t feel hard to complete at all."

This made Ree Shil think of the Demon Clan Instance that he is currently doing.

The time ratio inside was 1:10, so 333 days is just a little over a month in reality.

This is a completely acceptable amount of time.

"Anyway, there’s still a lot of time before the online competition.

I have enough time to do the S-rank task.

And I can work on the Nameless Sword Spirit task at the same time, without delaying either."

With this decision, he wanted to enter the Instance right away.

But after thinking about it, he decided to hold off for the time being.

We’ll see when I get home and settle everything.

Knock, knock, knock...

Just as he finished packing his things and was about to sleep, the door was knocked again.

There are more guests tonight than usual.

When he opened the door, he found a stranger’s face outside.

No, not completely unfamiliar either.

This player also appeared in the group competition, what was his name... Big Brother Brown?

"Hello, player Henry Thompson, I finally found you."

As soon as Big Brother Brown started speaking, there was a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Hello, I don’t know why you’re looking for me...?"

"Is it convenient to talk inside?"

"Sure, come in."

Ree Shil invited him in.

After some pleasantries, Big Brother Brown’s expression suddenly became full of vicissitudes: "It’s been ten whole years since I traveled through..."

Then, he began to tell his story out of nowhere.

In the beginning, Ree Shil felt this person was quite strange.

But when words like Celestial Visitor, Demon Clan, Human Clan, and Demon Exterminator came up, he began to feel something was wrong.

In the end, Big Brother Brown’s story surprisingly connected with the story Exterminator Thirteen had previously told him.

"So you are...?"

Ree Shil thought that ten years on this side was a hundred years in the other world.

"Yes, I was one of the main Exorcists who participated in that epoch-making battle back then.

I traversed through time during the aftermath of the final battle."

"I didn’t expect that could happen!"

"My reason for coming here is to ask about the situation over there and ask you about that card of yours..."

Then, Big Brother Brown continued his story.

"So... the Nameless Sword Spirit was the Flawless Galaxy?"

"You have indeed heard of this name."

"And you were the holder of the Flawless Galaxy at the time?"

"Yes."

"Wow..."

No wonder he felt so familiar with the opponent’s Avatar when he saw it on the field back then.

It turned out that the real familiarity was with the sword the opponent had simulated at that time.

That sword was none other than the Nameless Sword Spirit!

Thinking about it, Ree Shil couldn’t help but sigh at how small the world has become.

Although, even if Big Brother Brown wasn’t a competitor, he might have still seen the appearance of the [Nameless Sword Spirit] card in a live or recorded broadcast.

At that time, perhaps he would still insist on finding him somehow.

The opponent’s request was simple: he wanted to know about his hometown and the recent events of the Flawless Galaxy.

So Ree Shil took some time to basically recount his experiences in that world.

"I see..."

After listening, Big Brother Brown remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking again: "A hundred years have passed, and everything has changed.

So it turns out that the sword was shattered in that battle when I traversed through time?

And I didn’t expect that in my absence, my family had produced a good-for-nothing like Exterminator Thirteen who has lost his ambition."

Ree Shil: "???"

Wait, isn’t your last name Brown?

"No, my real last name is Exterminator. After joining a religious order, I received a Buddhist name, and after a while, it became a habit to use it."

After thinking about it, Big Brother Brown looked at Ree Shil earnestly: "Young friend Ree Shil, I have two small requests."

Ree Shil: "Um, let me hear it (I’ll help if it’s not troublesome)."

Big Brother Brown: "No, it’s not something troublesome."

Ree Shil: "So, are you going to confess that you have learned some heart-reading Demon Technique?"

Big Brother Brown: "If the Flawless Galaxy can generally restore its memories, I would like you to bring a few words to it.

It has been separated for a hundred years, and there is much to lament.

And if there is a chance to meet one of the Exterminator clan descendants, please give them a little lesson for me.

Remind them not to forget the teachings of their ancestors and behave themselves."

Ree Shil: "The first one is not difficult...

But the second one is not easy, as it’s been almost a year since I last saw him.

It’s been ten years in that world, who knows if he is even there anymore."

Big Brother Brown: "As a reward, I will tell you where the Sword Soul of the Flawless Galaxy is."

Ree Shil: "Sword Soul?"

Big Brother Brown: "Looking at your current long-term mission, the goal should be to help restore its sword body and spiritual body.

But when it comes to souls and spirits, both are indispensable.

If the sword body and spiritual body are both largely restored but lack a soul, it will never be possible to return to its former glory.

Since the sword body and spirit were shattered back then, the relatively more fragile Sword Soul must have also turned to ashes.

Back then, to be prepared for any eventuality, I took a corner of its soul and preserved it.

Although the soul is fragile, it has a stronger regenerative ability.

As long as it is nourished, it can be as good as new.

Only when the sword, spirit, and soul are combined can it become the true Flawless Galaxy again.

At that time, you can also bring the Sword Soul’s projection back like you did with the [Sword Body Fragments] before, because this thing has basically no weight and doesn’t take up load capacity."

Based on my accumulated years of experience and observation since my traversing, I suspect that this Sword Soul material... is very likely an S-rank material card."

"Punishing Exterminator Thirteen, right? Don’t worry, even if he’s buried, I’ll dig up his grave for you."

Ree Shil’s attitude suddenly became serious.
