35: Ranking Rewards

"What is this?"

"Although card players with higher ranks have stronger physical fitness, sometimes in the wilderness or other dimensions, they Still need a means of transportation."

Saying that, Director Hou opened the capsule.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Shi Li's eyes immediately lit up.

Every man has probably dreamed of owning something like this.

A motorcycle!

And a hover motorcycle at that!

"However, this thing is forbidden for high-altitude flight within the city, and you need a driver's license to drive it on the road."

Director Hou put the capsule motorcycle away again and handed it to Shi Li.

Actually, the C-Level Contract's welfare standards had some flexibility. If it wasn't Shi Li but someone else, he wouldn't have given this highest specification.

"Thank you!"

Shi Li couldn't put it down.

It's just taking a driver's license test, what's so difficult about that?

"If I remember correctly, you seem to have a younger brother, don't you?"

Director Hou's benefits weren't fully distributed yet.

"Yes, he'll be in high school next year."

Shi Li nodded.

After he went to college, he would definitely leave Durian City, and Shi Yuan was indeed his unique and most worrying concern.

No choice, his father wasn't around, and the elder brother acts as a father.

He had to bear this responsibility.

"The C-Level Contract also has a new added benefit, which is the Family Affiliated Benefit.

He can enjoy some basic benefits at any Show Card Hall in this city.

For example, free use of some basic facilities, such as simulated card-making machines, simulated duel devices, and cubic pods.

There are also free basic classes, explaining card-making, explaining simulated missions, and so on."

"Oh?"

For Shi Li, this was naturally very good news.

Simulator equipment could help card players accumulate operational experience.

He had just experienced the benefits of the cubic pod.

The basic classes at the Card Hall were roughly equivalent to the high school level, which was perfect for Shi Yuan.

One must know that the status of the five major Card Halls was significant, and just the few things Director Hou mentioned were not cheap.

And now, everything was free.

"Does the Card Hall have summer classes? The kind that assigns a lot of overwhelming homework."

Shi Li then asked.

"In principle, we don't assign homework, but if you request it, I can arrange it."

"Then thank you very much."

Finally, after completing all the handovers with Director Hou, Shi Li returned home.

"Your account ending in 6831 has received a transfer of 20,000.00 cubic coins from the Show Card Hall. Balance: 35,122.36."

The SMS message about the bonus arriving also came at this time.

"Good, now the funds are sufficient."

Shi Li sat down at his desk and took out two cards.

One of them was the ranking reward issued by Director Hou on behalf of the Card Hall.

The other was delivered to him by Director Hou on behalf of Curator Xiu.

Both were Token Cards.

The one given by the Card Hall had a black feather as its pattern, which looked a little familiar.

"Token Card (Two-star): Consuming this card can activate the corresponding simulated mission."

The one given by Curator Xiu had a strange ancient stone building as its pattern.

It looked ancient and Still, somewhat like an ancient tomb.

"Token Card (One-star): Consuming this card can activate the corresponding simulated mission."

"Curator Xiu, may you live a peaceful life."

Shi Li naturally preferred the one-star card, because it was a unique Token Card.

So the problem now before him was which Token Card he should use first.

"Now there are less than three days until the 32-to-16 round of the simulated unified exam. What I need to do is maximize my combat power as much as possible."

After thinking for a moment, he decided to tackle the two-star Token Card first.

Because although a unique Token Card could produce a Unique Character Card, it couldn't guarantee that it would definitely be a Character Card with a Characteristic.

If it didn't have a Characteristic or if the Characteristic it had was a negative effect, then this card would definitely be inferior to an ordinary two-star Character Card.

What's more, according to previous experience, even a one-star unique Token Card should be more difficult than an ordinary two-star Token Card.

Three days might not even be enough mental energy for continuous refreshing.

Having made his decision, Shi Li temporarily put away the unique Token Card, and then chose to use the two-star Character Card.

Lines of text began to appear on the blue screen.

"This mission is named: Giant Tree Guard."

"On a towering World Tree, there lives a kingdom of winged people."

"'Tengu,' as a member of the guard, is responsible for protecting the World Tree and preventing it from being harmed."

"However, one day, the alarm for a 'bug infestation' suddenly sounded."

"Before 'Tengu' are three emergency plans."

"Please help him make a choice."

"A. Go to the upper tree area to check; B. Go to the lower tree area to check; C. Wait for superior instructions on the spot."

Three options popped up, and Shi Li randomly chose one.

Going through the stages like this, he arrived in front of the final BOSS in half an hour.

In simulated missions, BOSSes are usually very large.

They occupy many card slots and have high stat panels.

For example, the caterpillar in front of him was like a mountain compared to the character.

"Leader of the Bug Infestation"

"Listen to the Wind, Attack 100, 8000/8000, 0/100"

"Natural Skin - Passive: The Leader of the Bug Infestation has the Magic Immunity effect."

"Lazy Nature - Passive: The Leader of the Bug Infestation can gain 300 Healing during Still turns (T5)."

"Spatial Tear - 30 Energy: The Leader of the Bug Infestation selects 1 target and Exiles it for 2 turns."

"Strong Hard Silk - 60 Energy: The Leader of the Bug Infestation attacks 1 grid target, with an additional 100 points of Full Penetration effect."

"(Magic Immunity: Immune to non-control negative effects)"

"(Exile: Removes a regular card target from the card game)"

"(Full Penetration: When attacking a target not in Defense, all targets directly behind it take damage)"

Magic Immunity and Unyielding are a pair of complementary buffs. Together, they equate to ignoring all negative effects.

Exile, on the other hand, is a relatively powerful hard control.

Negative effects, like attacks, would be blocked by the Character Card in front.

And one of the biggest uses of Exile was to allow one's side to directly attack the back card after the front card was temporarily removed from the field.

As for Full Penetration, it was, of course, also a very powerful output skill.

But the problem now was not at all about these skills of the BOSS.

Shi Li looked at the BOSS's panel stats, then at his own panel stats.

Although the Character Cards in simulated missions would become stronger than usual with the various Roguelike buffs, they were Still not enough against this BOSS.

"Oh, right."

However, he quickly thought of a card.

"Dimensional Intervention: When holding this card, you can add 1 of your Character Cards to the deck in the simulated mission."

It doesn't matter if this BOSS has a lot of health, just let Red Blade Maiden come up.

She can cut 1600+ health with one slash, and she can take care of the opponent in 6 or 7 turns!

As expected, with Red Blade Maiden joining the game, it suddenly became much simpler.

At least in terms of output, there was no need to worry.

Since his cards couldn't withstand the damage, then it was a competition to see if his entire army was wiped out first or if the BOSS was taken down first...
