Chapter 1003

"Wait... why is the BOSS in this round a bit strange?"

The BOSS he encountered in the first stage before him,

had clearly appeared directly as a general's phantom, presumably controlled by the game space's AI,

so why is there, in front of this round's BOSS general phantom,

someone sitting who looks just like a player?

If this were his first time clearing a stage,

he might have thought the BOSS stage-clearing event worked this way,

but with the experience from the first stage, Player Four clearly noticed the difference from the previous stage.

"Could it be that this BOSS is being controlled by a player?"

Player Four couldn't help but guess in his heart,

after he entered the BOSS stage-clearing event,

he had been clearing stages continuously and knew nothing of the real-time news outside,

"If a player really is controlling the BOSS, wouldn't they be harder to deal with than the game space's intelligent AI?"

Player Four's expression became somewhat ugly,

if it really were the case,

then this round could not afford any mistakes in the details.

He looked at the general selection frame before him,

and muttered aloud: "Jie Guan Yu, Cao Pi, Shen Lu Meng..."

Then he glanced and saw that Player Two's selected general was Jie Sun Shangxiang,

so he decisively picked Cao Pi to cooperate with his teammate!

The greatest advantage for clearing-stage players facing a BOSS is that their generals can coordinate with each other!

Jie Sun Shangxiang plus Cao Pi,

can flip an enemy over once every round,

even if this round is truly controlled by a real player,

as long as Player Two's Jie Sun Shangxiang and Player Three's Jie Zuo Ci keep killing,

they can deal damage to him every round, keeping the BOSS flipped over continuously,

then there is absolutely no fear of failing the stage clear!

Gu Xuan sat on the BOSS throne, half a person's height above the three players,

his gaze cast downward,

clearly seeing the general selections of the other three players,

Player Two: Jie Sun Shangxiang,

Player Three: Jie Zuo Ci,

Player Four: Cao Pi,

"Hmm? This selection..."

"Is it the Earth Flow Tears combination again?"

Jie Sun Shangxiang plus Cao Pi,

with this combination, if they don't eliminate one of them in a single round,

the survivor will be flipped over continuously afterwards,

unable to take any turns,

even more disgusting than the Jie Sun Shangxiang, Jie Hua Tuo, and Jie Guo Jia he faced as BOSS in the previous round,

if at the start Jie Zuo Ci transforms into a burst general,

then if he chooses a normal BOSS general this round, there's no need to even look at the outcome of win or loss!

Gu Xuan held four initial hand cards, rubbing them continuously,

looking down at the players below, a faint smile appearing on his face,

but unfortunately, the BOSS general he is using this round is Shen Jia Xu,

the one least afraid of being flipped over.

His thoughts gathered,

and the game space's prompt sound rang in Gu Xuan's ears:

【Player's current identity is: Second Stage Game BOSS!】

【Obtained BOSS special bonus: Max Health and Current Health +3!】

A stream of emerald light rushed into the Shen Jia Xu phantom,

instantly,

Shen Jia Xu's health points changed from the original three to six!

Adding the four points of armor Shen Jia Xu comes with at the start,

it is almost equivalent to starting with ten health points!

The original Shen Jia Xu, apart from lightning damage,

was also quite afraid of top-tier burst generals like Mou Huang Zhong,

but now,

with the buff given by the game space to the Second Stage BOSS,

even if the opposing side sends Da Bao and Lao Bao together,

Gu Xuan showed no fear!

During the card-drawing phase,

Gu Xuan casually drew cards,

and upon seeing a "Create Something from Nothing" card among them, ended his drawing phase.

The general Jia Xu,

possessed skills too powerful to rely much on hand cards.

In Gu Xuan's view, even if he served as the BOSS for the seventh or eighth level later on, he would be more than sufficient.

However, according to the rules of the game space, after reaching the third level,

both the level-clearing players and the BOSS should receive a slight enhancement...

With all players present finishing their card draws,

the game officially began.

"All things in the world, this Daoist can transform into their form!"

The player in position three,

with the phantom of Jie Jia Ci formed behind him like gathering clouds,

held a whisk across his arm and formed a sword seal with one hand.

The skill 【Transformation】 activated!

In an instant,

three general cards appeared before him:

【Cao Ang, Jie Pang Tong, Jie Zhen Ji】.

The Jie Jia Ci player looked at these three generals,

thought for a moment, and considered the current battlefield:

his two teammates, Jie Sun Shangxiang and Cao Pi, could reliably flip the BOSS every turn, which was indeed very strong.

However, the biggest flaw of this combination was that

Jie Sun Shangxiang and Cao Pi had no defensive capabilities outside their turns,

and their bodies were too fragile; if the BOSS was a card-bursting type, they would very likely die instantly in the first round.

It was only the start now, and he was in position three, with a distance of one to his teammates.

Cao Ang's skill 【Solemn Oath】 was just right to provide excellent protection for his teammates.

As long as they could steadily survive the first round,

this BOSS, in their eyes,

was nothing more than a toy...
