65: Prop card [Wish Card]

“The one hiding under this patch of grass, it couldn’t be Gong Ping, could it?”

The opponent’s overly strange playstyle made Shi Li unable to resist complaining.

Although the Crow Warrior only had 10 Health, it was in a fully charged state.

So, in the upcoming round, Shi Li’s side was essentially getting a free focused attack on the opponent.

At the end of the sixth round, the status of both sides’ face-up cards was as follows:

【Crow Warrior】: 10 / 100, 10 / 30

【Iron Rod】: 50 / 100, 30 / 30

As long as nothing unexpected happened, his side would form a situation of two regular cards against one ace card from the opponent.

To confirm his guess, he decided to perform a small experiment.

“【LV2 Healing】: Restore 40 Health to 1 card. (T1)”

As the action phase arrived, he played his unique LV2 hand card.

“Grass!”

This made the Straw Man, who had originally thought it could at least take out the Crow Warrior, curse out loud.

(To be revealed immediately)

And in its ace card slot, the words “to be revealed next round” also popped up.

With this, Shi Li directly opened up the situation with a huge advantage of two regular cards.

A new round began, and this time Shi Li did not place any more hand cards.

Because the Crow Warrior only had 20 Health left, all the hand cards he had could not save it from its inevitable elimination.

But the Straw Man was different.

“Grass!”

As its ace card was revealed, it immediately played its hand card.

This caused the blue glow of the card to instantly turn purple.

“He still has this move.”

Shi Li was very familiar with this operation.

It was precisely the hand card 【Star Ascension】.

This guy was becoming more and more like Gong Ping.

However, this 【Star Ascension】 was not comparable to Gong Ping’s.

Because it was LV2.

【LV2 Star Ascension】: Temporarily transform 1 two-star card revealed this round into a three-star card (T0).

LV1 could only upgrade from one to two, but LV2 could upgrade from two to three.

【Roar…】

A low, muffled roar came from within the light pillar.

Then, a tattered, dry-skinned, old, thin zombie, dragging a long sword, walked out.

Although the zombie looked weak, the sword looked quite extraordinary.

The long, narrow blade emitted a black aura that seemed capable of corroding the earth, and a few sparse eyes grew on it.

【Sword Zombie】

Rampage, 40 points, Three-Star

Attack 70, 200 / 200

【Life Siphon - Passive】: After Sword Zombie attacks, it gains 20 points of 【Healing】 (T5)

【Life Steal - Passive】: If Sword Zombie participates in a kill this round, it gains 20 points of 【Healing】 (T5)

【Short Life - Passive】: Sword Zombie’s attacks ignore 【Defense】, but it loses 30 Health each round (T4)

Seeing the card face of this card, Shi Li felt that he had played his 【Isolation】 too early.

This thing’s recovery ability was many times stronger than the previous 【Dragonman Robber】.

But after figuring out the opponent’s strategy, he was not so worried.

It seemed that as long as he didn’t use hand cards, the opponent wouldn’t use hand cards.

What’s more, the opponent’s card face was indeed frightening.

But his advantage of leading by two regular cards still existed.

So, the game proceeded quickly.

【Sword Zombie】 took three rounds to eliminate all two of Shi Li’s regular cards.

In three rounds, it lost 90 Health itself and had 110 Health dealt by Shi Li’s regular cards.

Then it attacked three times, recovered 60 Health, killed two targets, and recovered 40 Health.

When Shi Li’s ace card was revealed, 【Sword Zombie】 still had 100 / 200 Health.

He only needed to reveal 【Red Blade Maiden】, and he wouldn't even need to use her skill.

A normal attack with 70 Attack power, plus the opponent’s 30 points of self-damage, would be just enough to end the battle.

Although 【Healing】 takes effect at T5, which has more long-term value than T1’s 【Healing】.

But the disadvantage is that once Health drops to zero at T4, it is judged as being eliminated and can no longer produce Healing effects.

“Grass!”

So, with the Straw Man’s unwilling curse, the game ended.

As the game ended, its entire body began to rapidly re-materialize into light.

And the light gradually shattered into particles of dust, scattering in the wind.

Only a single green blade of grass remained, slowly floating towards Shi Li.

“?”

Shi Li subconsciously caught the blade of grass, and then saw it transform into an item card in his palm.

【Wish Card】: Use this card to fulfill one wish.

“Fulfill a wish?”

Shi Li was slightly stunned, then casually said, “Give me 1,000,000 cubic coins.”

【Wish power too low, cannot be fulfilled.】

“…”

He didn’t expect this thing to have limitations.

But thinking about it, the process of him obtaining this card wasn’t exactly difficult.

1,000,000 cubic coins did seem a bit excessive.

“Then how about 990,000 cubic coins.”

【Wish power too low, cannot be fulfilled.】

“980,000 cubic coins.”

【Wish power too low, cannot be fulfilled.】

“Let’s meet halfway, 500,000 cubic coins.”

【Wish power too low, cannot be fulfilled.】

It seemed this thing couldn’t be bargained with.

Shi Li lowered his request again and again, eventually only receiving 30,000 cubic coins into his account.

This so-called “wish power” was extremely low.

It couldn’t even help him complete the hunting quest for those 10 Rampage-type Three-Star Demons.

“But with this money, I can continue to farm the Star Ascension quest for the 【Jumping Guardian】.

After ascending to 【Gold 5】, the range of Three-Star targets I can choose will also greatly increase.”

After Shi Li checked his personal account to confirm he had received the money, he prepared to find a place to hide and quickly complete the Star Ascension quest.

【Student Shi Li, Student Shi Li, please respond if you hear me.】

But just then, the voice of a staff member came from the drone.

Because after the drone’s screen malfunctioned, the base immediately detected the anomaly.

However, due to interference from some kind of force field, they had been unable to contact him.

In addition, before the screen froze, Shi Li had also encountered a LV6 Three-Star Demon.

It was hard not to worry about his safety.

Even rescue personnel were on their way and would arrive in a few minutes.

“Received, please speak.”

Shi Li communicated with the other party.

The matter of the Straw Man was too bizarre, and coupled with the appearance of an alien race, it was of great importance.

So he recounted the entire process, but held back a little, not mentioning the 【Wish Card】.

Shi Li had thought that with such an unexpected situation, Jiangnan University would terminate this trial.

However, after a while, the message from their side was that after evaluation, everything was normal, and the trial would continue.

Since the organizers said so, Shi Li knew they wouldn’t joke about the safety of the trial participants.

So, after the communication was complete, he found a large rock crevice where he could hide.

He had the drone keep watch, then began to farm the Star Ascension quest.

The card player’s panel, not set by himself, was invisible to the outside world.

In the Qingchuan University monitoring room, Hu Lan remained silent.

Originally, the person in charge of Jiangnan University intended to call off the trial, as the presence of an alien race should be a matter of great importance.

But this decision was unanimously stopped by the four vice deans.

Because through Shi Li’s description, they all knew what Shi Li had encountered.

That was the Mascot.
