Chapter 117

~8 min read 1,412 words

Gu Xuan returned to the chair in the match space.

[Please select the multiplier for this game!]

Gu Xuan chuckled;

at least he got to choose first this time!

"Max it out!"

Without hesitation,

he immediately locked in triple.

………………

Gu Xuan had only played three games,

and the number of people in the live stream

had already reached over 600,000.

"Insta-locking Landlord, the big boss is confident every game!"

"This is the confidence of having a full set of 'underworld' generals!"

"I wonder what general the big boss will play next?"

"Who cares, whatever he picks is definitely a strong general!"

"But... big boss, what about the tutorial you promised?"

"He is teaching, isn't he? This is a demonstration of 'underworld' general tactics. It's just that you don't have these generals."

"Damn! Don't keep poking at people's sore spots!"

………………

[You have become the Landlord!]

After the mechanical prompt of the Game Space passed,

five general selection boxes appeared before Gu Xuan:

[Divine Gan Ning, Divine Guo Jia, Boundless Guan Yu, Sun Ru, Zhang Song]

…………

As soon as the general boxes appeared,

the people in the live stream were even more excited than Gu Xuan,

as if they were the ones playing the game.

"It's here, it's here! The big boss's general boxes are out!"

"Let me guess, the big boss should play Divine Guo Jia this round, right? After all, Divine Guo Jia was so fierce last round."

"I guess Sun Ru and Zhang Song. These are generals whose names I've never heard of. Like Qu Yi in the second round, they must be fierce!"

"I think so too. The big boss has so many 'underworld' generals, he won't be like us poor brothers who just keep playing the same strong general.

He'll definitely play something fresh!"

"Don't argue, don't argue, the big boss is picking!"

………………

Gu Xuan looked at the selection boxes in front of him,

and hesitated slightly.

"'Best Choice' and 'Willing and Eager' are both out."

"Then this round..."

"Let's pick a big demon,"

since he had already played a big demon once.

For the sake of the live stream's entertainment value,

he had to change it up and play something different.

Thus,

Gu Xuan locked in Divine Gan Ning!

………………

The moment the phantom of Divine Gan Ning appeared,

the entire audience in the live stream boiled over.

For no other reason,

this general

was simply too handsome!

"Damn! This... this general even comes with a mount?!!"

"These abs, this cold white skin, this arrogant white hair—it's only a little bit behind Divine Guo Jia..."

"Bullsh*t! Divine Gan Ning is clearly more handsome!"

"I wonder which one is more powerful, this general or Divine Guo Jia."

"Anyway, if the two of them fought, the divine general would definitely win!"

"Who can't see that? You don't need to tell us!"

………………

[Please select a faction!]

The cold mechanical voice of the Game Space rang out.

At the same time,

Gu Xuan also saw the generals chosen by the other two peasant players:

Position 2, Boundless Zhang Jiao,

Position 3, Boundless Xiao Qiao.

This combination...

It really wouldn't be easy to make a move in the first wave.

Looking at their personal information again,

"All from Pink Dream?"

Gu Xuan was dumbfounded.

Isn't this a coincidence?

However,

Pink Dream knew he was sniping their members,

and knew that many of his generals were 'meat-cleaver' types,

.. ......... 0

so they had their members choose generals with counter-damage or strong defensive capabilities outside their turns?

But these kinds of generals have no synergy,

and in front of a big demon,

they really aren't enough!

On the other side,

Boundless Xiao Qiao and Boundless Zhang Jiao

also saw Gu Xuan's ID,

and both felt their hearts tighten.

Although

they had received a warning from their captain saying it was best not to enter Landlord,

they still

hadn't finished their Landlord match tasks for the week!

If they didn't play these two days,

their Landlord mode would be closed,

and wanting to reopen it later

would be a huge headache.

They originally thought there were only three matches in total,

and were holding onto a fluke mentality,

thinking it wouldn't be such a coincidence to run into Gu Xuan.

As a result,

they might end up getting double-killed this round!

But...

fortunately,

they had both listened to their captain this time

and, within the range of their three general boxes,

chose generals with certain defensive capabilities.

Boundless Xiao Qiao has counter-damage,

and Boundless Zhang Jiao's starting hand is guaranteed to have Dodge and Spades,

which could also make the Landlord have certain concerns.

Although they were facing a divine general,

not all divine generals are powerful.

Just like Divine Guan Yu,

maybe they could still put up a fight this round?

…………

Starting the hand-refreshing phase,

"Le Bu Si Shu, Le Bu Si Shu!"

Gu Xuan refreshed for Le Bu Si Shu in his hand without hesitation.

For a big demon in Landlord,

this card could be called the core card of the first wave.

Although

it was always easily sanctioned by the system and passed through...

but what had to be refreshed still couldn't be skipped.

Finally,

after refreshing three times,

Gu Xuan looked at this hand,

and nodded with satisfaction.

"You're the one!"

………………Yu.

At the start of the turn phase,

a crowd of players were waiting for Gu Xuan to play his cards,

and just as their eyes were fixed on Gu Xuan,

they discovered

that unlike before,

this time,

just as the turn began,

the Divine Gan Ning phantom behind Gu Xuan made a move!

He drew his bow and pulled the string, and a deep blue arrow shot from the bowstring,

flying toward Gu Xuan's general card.

"Wrap armor and hold bits, raiding the camp as if entering an empty land!"

The skill [Raid Camp] was activated!

Instantly,

a phantom of the character [Camp] slowly appeared on the general card.

Afterwards,

the Overbearing skill was activated,

and during the preparation phase, one card flew from the deck into Gu Xuan's hand.

During the card-drawing phase,

the [Raid Camp] skill was activated again!

Three more cards flew from the deck into Gu Xuan's hand!

Gu Xuan's hand size reached eight cards in an instant!

………………

The crowd in the live stream

now had some resistance

to the perverted nature of Gu Xuan's generals.

After all, just last round there was a big health tank with a nine-point health limit plus a card-drawing monster that drew over a dozen cards per turn.

Compared to him,

they could still accept the strength of this general.

"Starting with a seven-point health limit, four health, plus eight cards in hand—I ask you two peasants, are you afraid!"

"I reckon those two are already shivering."

"It's not that exaggerated. Boundless Xiao Qiao and Boundless Zhang Jiao—whoever gets targeted in the first round won't have an easy time."

"Should target Boundless Zhang Jiao first. Although he might have a Dodge in hand, if you dismantle his cards first and try not to use a Kill to deal damage, wouldn't that be better?"

"Conservatively estimated, the big boss probably has at least one Crossbow Dismantle or Snatch waiting for Boundless Zhang Jiao."

"That's for sure. When you encounter Boundless Zhang Jiao,

you definitely have to use Dismantle or Snatch to get rid of most of the cards in his hand before it's easy to fight."

"Did you all forget the skill of standard Gan Ning?

He's a demolition expert by nature! Who needs a Crossbow Dismantle?"

"Oh, right! But there's a big difference between divine generals and standard generals!

The skills aren't necessarily the same; it's very likely they've been strengthened."

"Let me guess: standard Gan Ning can use black hand cards as Crossbow Dismantle,

so can Divine Gan Ning use all hand cards as Crossbow Dismantle?"

"It's possible, but that's at most a one-for-one trade with the opponent's hand, which isn't very cost-effective."

"Then, maybe add some card-drawing effects?"

"Let's watch first. After watching the big boss play this round, we'll know."

…………

At this moment, Boundless Zhang Jiao on the field,

looking at the cards in his hand,

actually felt quite secure.

He had refreshed two Dodges,

two Wines,

and even if the Landlord refreshed Crossbow Dismantle or Snatch,

he could at least keep one Dodge.

In that case,

In that case,
