Chapter 977: Chapter 352: The Beginning of 【Cudgel】- 2
"Here, take this."
Ree Shil threw the iron stick in his hand to the Kung Fu Sheep God.
Almost done with the task, only about 1 million times left.
"Mie Shen."
The Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit caught the iron stick and twirled it like a short stick flower.
Then they saw her standing still on the spot, just flicking her wrist at the shadow.
Bang!!!
The loud sound of the air explosion caused Ree Shil and Exterminator Thirteen to cover their ears involuntarily.
When they looked up again, the shadow wicked demon had been pierced with a huge hole and began to shrink gradually, looking lifeless.
"So this is the power of an S-rank card, huh..."
Ree Shil felt that he might have used a bullish knife to kill a chicken.
After a brief sense, the iron stick had flown several kilometers away, even going through a few mountains on the way.
As expected of a card with the word "God" in its name, it seems that the Kung Fu Sheep God card should be used with caution in the future.
"Huh."
Exterminator Thirteen swallowed and finally managed to speak after a long while: "What?"
Just what kind of origin did this puppet have? It really killed a great demon with a wave of its hand!
[My peak is not as good as this...]
The Nameless Sword Spirit squeezed out a semi-ancient expression.
Since the crisis was resolved, it was time to go through the old acquaintance process.
Ten years, for anyone, is not a short time.
Exterminator Thirteen really didn’t expect to see this celestial visitor again, who doesn’t belong here.
The scenes of those days began to gradually awaken in his memory.
Remembering the past years, it’s easy to feel a mix of emotions.
At the moment, he felt like he was reuniting with an old friend or acquaintance.
For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
"I told you not to gamble before I left, but you wouldn’t listen."
However, Ree Shil refused to be sentimental and used teasing as an opening line: "You lost so much that someone chopped off your hand, right?"
He looked up and down at the other party, and his gaze finally fell on the empty sleeve.
"Pah! Pah! Pah! Bad luck!"
Exterminator Thirteen’s face darkened: "I was injured by a demon beast!"
Then, the two began their real walk down memory lane.
More importantly, Exterminator Thirteen recounted his experiences over the past ten years.
It was all about gambling, drinking, and eradicating demons.
Ree Shil didn’t have much to say since it had only been a year on his side.
And even if he talked about what happened on his side, the other party wouldn’t understand.
However, from Exterminator Thirteen’s words, he heard that one thing hadn’t changed.
That was this guy, who still lived a carefree life.
Thinking about it, the real origin of how he got the Nameless Sword Spirit card was Exterminator Thirteen.
So perhaps, he could give the other party a choice.
"Hey, have you ever thought about becoming a celestial visitor?"
Ree Shil drew a blue light elixir from his pocket.
"Huh? What?"
Exterminator Thirteen didn’t understand.
"You don’t have to answer me now, take this first."
Then, Ree Shil told the other party about the general situation of the Cube Card Metaverse.
Since Exterminator Thirteen had already learned about the existence of celestial visitors, he accepted it quickly.
Moreover, Ree Shil’s guess was right – he indeed had no worries.
Although he was from the Exterminator family, his immediate relatives had long been gone.
"So you’re saying... during the ascension process, my damaged body will be repaired?"
What Exterminator Thirteen was most interested in was this: he had enough of living a single-handed card-playing life.
"Of course, you saw me, didn’t you?"
Ree Shil moved his hands and feet: "Before I traversed, I was paralyzed."
"Are you... really serious?"
Even if their relationship had been close, Exterminator Thirteen still couldn’t fully trust him.
After all, they had not seen each other for ten years.
If even his own could be impersonated, who could guarantee that the person in front of him was really the young boy from back then?
"Don’t worry, take your time to think about it."
Traversing was a big deal, and Ree Shil could understand the other party’s concerns.
As for teaching Exterminator Thirteen a lesson, he thought it would be better for Big Brother Brown to do it.
If Exterminator Thirteen decided to stay in this world, it wouldn’t be too late for him to make a move later.
"Okay."
Exterminator Thirteen nodded doubtfully: "So Master, are you leaving this world now?"
"...Can you not say something nicer when you talk?"
Ree Shil furrowed his brows and then said: "Not so soon, I might stay for another hundred or so days."
This time, he planned to complete the entire long-line mission before leaving.
"Alright, then I’ll temporarily join you."
And so, Exterminator Thirteen officially joined the team.
...
Ten days later, in an inn in a certain city.
This was the most expensive inn in the city, with the most expensive Tian Character Number Room.
Ree Shil was sitting on an antique redwood bed, looking sentimental. freewёbnoνel.com
That iron stick was now placed right in front of him.
"It wasn’t easy..."
Looking at the panel information on the iron stick, his tone was full of anticipation.
[9999999/10000000]
Yes, now he only needed to swing it one more time.
This S-rank task would be completed.
He wondered what kind of card face the [Iron stick] would turn into once it was upgraded to S-level, no, [Beginning Stick]. freewebnσvel.cøm
Getting off the bed, he first lit the candlelight.
Then he carefully pulled the door and window curtains closed, making sure that no light would leak out.
Only then did he sit down at the bedside and pick up the iron stick.
People say the firstborn is precious and the second-born is ordinary. The birth of his second S-rank card didn’t carry any ceremony for Ree Shil.
He just wanted to see the card face quickly.
So he lifted his hand like this and swung down.
Ka... Pop!
A sound similar to the shattering of shackles rang in his ears.
Immediately after, the iron stick in his hand suddenly turned into a dazzling burst of colorful light, exploding throughout the room.
"Thank goodness I was prepared, or people would definitely think I was using some demon technique."
He quickly covered his eyes.
The strong light made the back of his hand feel slightly hot, and even though he had his fingers tightly closed and his eyes shut, he could still feel some light seeping into his eyes.
After the light lasted for several minutes, it finally slowly faded away.
When he opened his eyes, a brand-new, colorful card was floating in front of him.
"Huh?"
The projection on the card was still that iron stick, which made Ree Shil frown slightly.
Unlike the [Kung Fu Sheep God], the appearance of this [Beginning Stick] hadn’t changed at all.
This couldn’t help but raise a bad feeling in him.
Hurriedly grabbing the card to check its face.
The first thing he looked at, of course, was the changes in the words.
"This..."
It had to be said that this card face was quite disappointing.
[Beginning Stick]
? ?, 0 Points, S
Attack 40, 100/100
[Initial Power-Passive]: The attack power of Beginning Stick +8
[Initial Power-Passive]: The attack power of Beginning Stick +8
[Initial Power-Passive]: The attack power of Beginning Stick +8
[Initial Power-Passive]: The attack power of Beginning Stick +8
[Initial Power-Passive]: The attack power of Beginning Stick +8
It must be said that S-rank cards indeed break away from the conventional somewhat.
+8 attack power, this kind of not great but not terrible value, was the first time Ree Shil had seen it on a Cube Card.
It could only be said that it was a bit unexpected but not really unexpected.
[Beginning Stick] completely followed the path of[Iron stick], taking the pure strength route.
Before, the[Iron stick] was at 20 points and 40 attacks, with a net gain of 20 attacks.
Now transformed into a 0-point card, with a net gain of 40 attacks.
"But compared to the 0-point card, its attack power doesn’t necessarily have to be stronger than the [Arthur Blade-seeker] and the [Nameless Sword Spirit].
Not to mention the [Ox Horn Card].
Compared to these earlier cards, the only advantage of [Beginning Stick] is its stability.
At 0 points and 40 attacks, it doesn’t come with any costs and can be used in any situation.
With this card, he would be about 40 points ahead of his opponent by nature.
In this regard, it is indeed quite exaggerated. The remaining points can be added to other cards, enough to create high attack cards or giant cards.
But it still doesn’t feel quite right because it’s only pure strength and doesn’t have any special mechanisms.
It has a clear gap with any other S-rank cards that he has seen or can imagine.
Wait a minute... What’s this?"
However, as he was speaking, he suddenly noticed that his attention was attracted by the words just now.
What does this question mark on the card face mean?
Wait, besides this question mark, there are other things that are not right!
