Chapter 17

He felt quite indignant in his heart.

They had all risen from the ranks of newcomers.

Had they encountered a streamer like Zhang Danian back then, they would have been erased by the Game Space long ago.

How could they have made it to where they are now?

"Indeed excessive! Later on, let the other teams in Binhai City deal with him properly!"

"If this continues, how many newcomers in our Dragon Nation will die at his hands?!"

Li Bingbing frowned, clearly sharing the sentiment.

"However, given the current situation, the newcomer in slot five is undoubtedly doomed to lose."

"But he told Zhang Danian to wait for death?"

"Could this General possess some ability to turn the tables?"

Li Bingbing could not help but start guessing.

"What ability to turn the tables could he possibly have?"

"It was merely empty threats spoken before his death."

Zhou Xiaoyi sighed:

"One point of health, four cards. Unless he restores his health to full in one breath,"

"or eliminates Sun Quan instantly,"

"otherwise, when Sun Quan's turn comes next, he will surely die."

"Do you think either of these two scenarios is possible, Bingbing?"

Li Bingbing frowned and slowly shook her head.

She did not believe the newcomer in slot five was lucky enough to draw a hand full of Peaches.

As for the second scenario, eliminating Sun Quan instantly?

Within the Three Kingdoms Kill Space, where would such a monstrous General as Zhou Xiaoyi described exist?

Just as she was thinking this,

she suddenly noticed again

that on the body of Strategist Huang Zhong, three suits were flashing.

"What is that?"

"Clubs, Spades, Hearts."

"What do these three suits on this newcomer General mean?"

Zhang Danian counted with his fingers, feeling somewhat puzzled.

He subconsciously guessed:

"Could it be that this General's skill restores health to someone once all four suits are collected?"

"Or perhaps it is simply drawing cards?"

If it restored one point of health or drew one card, that would be understandable,

just a trash General after all.

But if it could restore two points of health, or draw two cards,

that would be somewhat strong, though still not comparable to his Sun Quan!

Just as Zhang Danian was guessing,

he saw Gu Xuan slowly pull out a Fangtian Huaji from his hand and equip it onto Strategist Huang Zhong,

then,

another shimmering Diamond suit appeared on the body of the General behind him.

"Four suits now, yet nothing happened?"

Just as everyone was murmuring in their hearts,

Gu Xuan played two more cards.

The kind-faced old man behind him instantly turned crimson-faced,

drew out an arrow,

and drew his bow, aiming at the Lord in slot one!

"Wine Fire Slash, Player One!"

Seeing Gu Xuan target him with a Wine Slash,

Zhang Danian, who had been guessing at his General's skill, laughed disdainfully.

"Pretending to be mysterious! After all this time, I thought you were formidable!"

"It turns out to be just a Wine Fire Slash!"

Let alone the fact that he still held a Dodge in his hand; this Wine Fire Slash simply could not hit him.

Even if it did hit, it would only deal two points of damage!

"Tsk!"

"Little newcomer brother!"

No sooner had Zhang Danian finished speaking,

than he suddenly discovered

that at the very moment Gu Xuan designated him with the Wine Slash,

a beam of light suddenly lit up atop the deck.

Immediately after,

three cards flew out from the top of the deck,

displaying themselves before everyone.

【Plum Blossom Wine, Diamond Dodge, Heart Dodge】

At the very moment these cards appeared,

the Plum Blossom, Diamond, and Heart suits on Mou Huangzhong's person

lit up at the same instant,

as if echoing one another.

"What... does this mean?"

Zhang Danian was somewhat confused,

but,

now was his response time;

he had to dodge this Wine Kill first, otherwise, once the response time passed,

wouldn't he just lose health for nothing?

Zhang Danian looked at the hand of cards before him,

preparing to play a Dodge,

but immediately after, his eyes widened,

and he shouted in disbelief:

"Why can't I play any of my cards?!!"

Zhang Danian frantically tapped the cards in his hand,

yet each card face bore the four large characters 【Cannot Be Played】!

"I have a Dodge! I clearly have a Dodge!!"

"Three Kingdoms Kill Game Space! Why won't you let me use a Dodge?!"

In his desperation, Zhang Danian directly questioned the Game Space,

but besides receiving the reply 【Please explore on your own】, there was no other response!

Zhang Danian tapped that Dodge card more than ten times,

finally, he glared at Gu Xuan through gritted teeth:

"It's your skill, isn't it!"

"Your skill is stopping me from playing cards?!"

Otherwise, there was truly no way to explain what exactly was happening in this situation.
