Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

Chapter 238 Who is the strongest

In the hall, there is a device surrounded by a translucent blue light barrier.

The appearance of the instrument is a bit weird, the shape of a small table, the table top is complex and dense spell patterns, and the lines surround two rectangular pits, which seem to be used to place synthetic cards.

There are two finger-thick antennas on the opposite corners of the table, the purpose of which is unknown.

"This, haha."

Feng Xiaohu smiled, and introduced: "This is an ancient card-scratching instrument."

"A card rubbing device?" xN

When everyone heard it, they were all puzzled.

Because in their cognition, isn't it enough to just use the adaptive card making panel to shuffle cards?

This is the first time I have seen this real machine.

"You don't know that."

Just when everyone was wondering, Hui Chun also came out: "It's passed down, I just said it's passed down."

"It is said that in the early days of the cube card universe, the card rules at that time were far from what they are now."

"What we are experiencing now is the cube card after many versions of the gods have been updated."

"At that time, all cards can be traded with each other."

"And there is no such thing as a card making panel."

"This instrument is the special equipment used by the players to rub cards at that time."

He approached and patted the hard blue light barrier.

"How else can I say that Lanlan City is an ancient capital with a long history?"

"At the beginning, it was only a small town, and this instrument was the public equipment of the town at that time."

Speaking of this, Hui Chun, who is a native of Lanlan City, showed a proud look on his face.

"What do you mean? It means that Lanlan City already existed when the Cube Universe was first established?"

Qingyu opened her eyes wide.

"Of course, you must know that at that time it was said that the world map was not as big as it is now."

"The population distribution is also very sparse, and some players have traveled over here, even as savages in the wild."

"There are not many decent population gathering places, and Lanlan Town, the predecessor of Lanlan City, is one."

Anhui Chun replied again.

"Hehehe, I have heard about the historical background of Lanlan City for a long time."

Although Pingju is a member of the Equilibrium card shop, it is actually the first time to come to the flagship store in Lanlan City.

He also reached out and touched the blue light barrier in front of him: "I feel really honored to see it with my own eyes."

"Presumably this old antique, which has gone through countless years, has also been used by the gods."

This question was asked by the guide duo.

"Well, in theory, there must have been."

Feng Xiaohu smiled embarrassedly: "However, most of the history of that year has been lost, so we don't know the details."

"After all, at the beginning of the Cube Universe, there were quite a lot of loopholes and the rules of the world were quite imperfect."

"There are often monsters and beasts from the left-centered world or the right-centered world that shuttle over."

"There will be PVE monsters everywhere, it's a mess."

she said so.

"Lanlan Town was almost wiped out by monster waves several times. Fortunately, they had an extremely powerful army of players at that time."

Hui Chun knows a lot about history: "It's called the Lanlan Gunnery Regiment."

"Later, relying on the Lanlan Guns, Lanlan Town officially became a powerful country, Lanlan Country."

"It's just that the era of national governance didn't seem to last long. Under the intervention of gods, or changes in various aspects of the world, all countries disintegrated."

"It ended up becoming this utopian world that we have today."

"In this process, a lot of history has passed away. It is a blessing that the name of Lanlan City can still be preserved."

Hearing what he said, many people's faces were full of emotion.

Most of them know some history of the Cube Universe, but they don't know as much and so deeply as Hui Chun.

It can be heard that the life of the first generation of traversers was not easy, and the world at that time also sounded full of danger and chaos.

Without the follow-up intervention of the gods, such a beautiful and peaceful world would not have been formed.

"The army of players, what does the Gunners mean?"

At this time, Shi Li raised his own question: "Are they card players or gunners?"

What he was more curious about were those ancient cards.

"How do I know this?"

Hui Chun looked at him and spread his hands, and then said: "Whenever you have a chance to get the copy of the relevant historical review, go and see for yourself."

Historical review dungeons refer to some dungeons that simulate the review of major events in the cube card universe.

They also appear in random instances, but in very small numbers.

If you can come and enter once, you will not only be able to witness many past histories, but you will also have the opportunity to get cards from those eras.

Next, the tour guide duo took them to visit the entire card hall.

Everyone in the same team was amazed wherever they went, after all, it was the first time they had seen a card hall of this size.

Only Shi Li had already been shocked once in the No. 2 hall, and he didn't feel anything.

After visiting the card hall, they visited the nearby scenic spots again.

The afternoon is a rest time, leaving them to recover from the exhaustion of the journey.

Shi Li was not in a hurry to go to those specialty stores last time, because he didn't have much money on hand now.

If it’s less than 2W, you can’t buy anything, and you can’t even afford a piece of ordinary A-level material.

And tonight, the Cube Association in Lanlan City will organize all the players to gather. The exclusive store is right in front of the association, so it's not too late to go and have a look.

And just like that, it was night.

Feng Xiaohu and Hui Chun are also contestants this year, so I took them along.

After today, Hui Chun didn't bring up the matter of playing cards with Shi Li again, even though he failed to achieve his goal last time.

After getting in the car and talking, Shi Li realized that this kid wanted to save the opportunity for more formal occasions.

That is to say, Hui Chun wants to fight Shi Li in the competition.

Hearing his words, Qingyu felt inexplicably familiar, and she showed a smiling and silent expression.

The scale of the association in Lanlan City is naturally larger than theirs.

There are thousands of contestants from various cities in the Lanlan competition area, but it seems that there are few in the auditorium of the stadium.

After almost everyone arrived, a petite and cute hump-headed emcee girl in a short skirt came up in the center of the venue.

【Everyone, good evening everyone】

[I am the host of this city's Sailanlan competition area, Camel]

【You can also call me sister hunchback】

As she spoke, she also made a cute pose with her tongue sticking out.

"Sister Tuozi, a well-known host in the Balance Region."

Huichun introduced it to Shili in a timely manner: "The characteristic is that she likes various poses, especially the middle two poses, and in the host circle of the entire balanced area, she is the only one who does not make people feel awkward."

"At the same time, she doesn't feel embarrassed herself, which is even more rare."

Feng Xiaohu agreed.

[First of all, congratulations to everyone, you are all outstanding people from your respective cities]

[I will serve you all the way in the upcoming competitions in the Lanlan Division]

【Let's get straight to the point now and introduce the rules of the first round】

[The first round of the competition is - the dungeon of the strongest superpower! 】

"Wow!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Because if you want to say which dungeon competition system is the most cruel, it is naturally the strongest dungeon.

In the copy of the strongest, players are required to fight in the most direct and original way.

And the number of advanced players is generally less than other types of dungeon matches.

In other words, competition is fierce.

[I will not spoil the details of the specific dungeon here]

[However, I can reveal a little bit in advance for the players]

[You will be able to choose your own superpowers in this dungeon~! 】

(Optional...)

When Shi Li heard it, he frowned slightly.

That is to say, his advantage in the super power competition is gone.

You can choose yourself, and so can others.

[When everyone entered and registered just now, they already got their personal communicators]

[If you have any questions, you can directly inquire on the communicator]

[Or find the staff around you for help]

After explaining the various rules and procedures of the first round, Sister Tuozi finally said this.

According to different races, Shili and the others were assigned an electronic information watch.

After clicking a few times casually, a small screen with a faint blue light popped up on it.

The information written on it is basically what the host introduced just now.

Tonight's contestant call did not take much time, the main thing was to explain the pre-match matters.

Following Sister Tuozi's announcement, the thousands of people left the meeting on the spot.

Get a good night's rest, tomorrow is the start of the race.

Seeing that there is still a lot of time, Shi Li decided to visit the specialty stores outside first.

In order to cater for the sudden burst of players, these specialty stores will also be open 24 hours a day in the near future.

It's just that he deliberately stayed in the venue for half an hour before going out, but he found that the store was still full of customers.

After all, it's okay for Shi Li and the others to be born in a third-tier city.

Some representatives from smaller cities came here for the purpose of gaining knowledge and shopping.

This kind of crowded situation is very inconvenient for Shi Li to use [Absolute Card Sense].

So he walked around a few times at random, and asked Anise Chun, who was accompanying him, to take him to eat some local snacks and delicacies, and then went back to sleep.

The next day, a group of people came to the association again full of energy.

At 8:30 in the morning, the audience outside the association was already packed.

After all, this is a grand event that is held every few years, and it is more lively and exciting to watch with more people.

The dungeon match is also deeply loved by the audience.

Through special equipment, they can also watch the situation inside the copy.

Fortunately, the players have dedicated passages, otherwise it would take half an hour just to squeeze through the crowd.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, there were 3,200 contestants in the Lanlan Division this year. All of them arrived on time, and no one was absent or late.

Subsequently, the association arranged for them to draw lots.

There are any numbers from 1 to 32 on the lottery, that is to say, all the players present are divided into 32 groups.

Among them, Ping Ju got the No. 5 lottery, Feng Xiaohu got the No. 9 lottery, and Hui Chun got the No. 13 lottery.

Shi Li and Qing Yu both got the 21st lottery by coincidence, the probability of this is quite small.

But the two of them don't know each other.

Because from the moment they entered the lottery, the association began to implement confidentiality measures to protect the information of the players.

The so-called secret method is actually very simple.

That is the puppet operation cabin.

Players enter the puppet cabin arranged by the association to obtain a controllable puppet.

The puppet has an initial form, which is just an elf light group similar to the elemental family.

All of them have the same appearance, and it is impossible to identify which is whose puppet.

Then this puppet is still mentally connected, able to move within a small area of the venue + use the cards the player owns + enter the instance.

[Okay, now the players have drawn lots]

[Please start from group 1 and enter the corresponding conference room in turn]

The hunchback sister pointed to the aisle behind her.

32 large rooms are waiting for them.

After all the previous 20 groups entered, Shili's other 99 players from the same group also walked into the No. 21 meeting room.

"Everyone, please take your seats."

"Once seated, it cannot be changed."

The staff who had been waiting for a long time guided them.

Immediately glanced at it, and saw that there was no difference between each seat.

After the 100 contestants were seated, they waited there quietly.

The surrounding light groups don't know who it is, so it's not convenient for everyone to talk to each other.

After about ten minutes, the contestants of each group should have settled down, so the display screen on the wall of the conference room flickered and a picture appeared.

In the picture, Sister Tuozi is standing in front of the camera with a smile on her face.

[Players, please complete the team formation under the arrangement of the staff]

Shi Li is already familiar with this kind of procedure.

The 100 people present must first form a team before they can enter the copy.

Soon, everyone was grouped together.

After the feedback from the staff in each group, Sister Tuo Zi spoke again.

【Okay, then what I want to announce next, you may not like to hear it】

【Because it will be more cruel】

[But there is no way, this is the game]

[Our elimination rate in this round of dungeon competition is - 95%]

"Wow!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the players.

95% elimination rate, that is to say, out of 100 contestants in each group, only 5 will be able to advance to the next round!

It's really as cruel as Sister Tuozi said!

When Shi Li heard this, he also frowned. You must know that he also participated in the dungeon knockout round in the Rising Star Comprehensive Competition last time.

At that time, 100 people entered 32, although the final number was less than 32.

But compared with 100 people entering 5, it is still much more relaxed.

After saying this, Sister Tuozi deliberately left some time for everyone to react.

When she spoke again, everyone had already quieted down, waiting for her to continue her introduction.

[Please note that there is no time limit for this dungeon match]

【Until the top 5 in this group are determined】

[If there are only 6 players left and 2 players are eliminated at the same time, a short-term time review will be carried out until the specific 5 players are separated]

[Other situations are analogous]

"That is to say, it is basically immortal."

"And unlike last time in the ancient temple, you can eliminate additional players."

"For example, if there are 13 players left, and I slap down and eliminate 9 players at the same time, then if there are less than 5 players left, we will go back in time."

Shi Li roughly understood the rules.

[Okay, after talking about serious things, let's talk about some light-hearted good news]

At this time, the hunchback sister in the picture changed her tone.

[In addition, I would like to remind all players]

[You can also draw cards after this dungeon is over]

[And your card draw pool this time is completely determined by the dungeon behavior]

【So after entering the meeting, you have to work harder~】

[Come on~! 】

The association is still doing a good job in this regard.

After all, many players came from thousands of miles away. If they are eliminated in the first round and go home, they can't let others go back empty-handed and gain nothing.

It's just that her words made Shi Li feel that there was another mystery.

Because the usual dungeon card pool is mostly determined by the dungeon behavior.

So what's different about this copy?

In this confusion, the staff began to distribute copy crystals.

Shi Li took the crystal and checked it immediately.

[Dungeon name: Beast Dilemma]

[Number of copies: 100 people]

【Suitable Level: Synchronous LV20】

【Time ratio: 1:1】

[Follower card: 0, equipment card: 0]

"Is it a copy of the beast?"

Shili is no stranger to this dungeon.

After all, the first official dungeon he entered was the beast dungeon.

The few beast cards obtained in it are still occasionally used after upgrading.

[Are you sure to consume 1 copy opportunity? 】

Immediately click OK.

[Team structure detected]

[Copy key detected]

【The team and the key match successfully】

[The copy is opening...]

This time, there is no more own time when someone is on the dungeon CD.

After all, we have come here, even if we are taking drugs, we have to fill up the cooldown.

After a while, Shi Li felt his body gradually becoming light.

And his consciousness also began to rotate.

(The Dilemma of the Beast, the name sounds like it should be a copy of the survival type.)

(As Pingju introduced before, it may be a model that needs to deal with the harsh living environment while eliminating competitors.)

(Although it is definitely a different world from the previous [City of Beasts], at least this time when I saw the Beasts for the first time, I was able to adapt immediately and I would no longer be afraid.)

Gradually, the eyelids became a little heavy.

He closed his eyes uncontrollably, and when he suddenly opened them again, he immediately found himself in the pure white space.

Not far away, a mass of white light floated slowly.

"Choose superpowers, right? Come on."

Shi Li stood there and waited quietly.

However, it is not the same as the imaginary cards popping up one by one.

When the ball of light floated in front of him, it suddenly divided into 14 balls of light.

The ball of light fell to the ground, and then transformed into projections one by one.

[In order to maintain fair competition and avoid the impact of racial differences]

[This dungeon adopts a unified body template and adapts to a 100% coherence rate]

[Please select your template from the following templates]

The voice from the pure white space gave Shi Li a solution.
