Chapter 2: I Play Empty City and You Play Bountiful Harvest? What a Terrible Teammate!

Blue Star, within a Three Kingdoms Kill game space,

a classic five-player Army-Strife match was underway!

The game had already reached its final moment,

Gu Xuan sat in his chair; the general he had chosen this time was Zhuge Liang.

He tilted his head and glanced at the chair in seat four,

where a player with the Renegade identity had originally been sitting,

but in the previous round, that player's HP had dropped to zero, eliminating them from the match.

Half a year ago, the Three Kingdoms Kill game space had descended upon this world.

Being eliminated from the game did not mean returning to the real world!

Instead, one thousand golden beans would be deducted; if the golden beans were insufficient to cover it, one would simply die!

That Renegade player had, right before Gu Xuan's eyes, gradually vanished from feet to head!

Clearly, they had already been erased by the game space!

With the Renegade gone,

the situation on the field now looked like two Rebels fighting the Lord and a Loyalist,

but in fact it was extremely unfavorable for the Rebels,

the Lord still had three HP, and the Loyalist Sun Shangxiang was still alive with two cards in hand.

Yet both Rebels were down to just one HP!

Killing the Lord to win the match was truly too difficult!

Moreover!

His Rebel teammate Zhen Ji was a complete idiot!

Not only had she equipped Vine Armor while the Loyalist Sun Shangxiang had the Vermilion Bird Fan equipped,

she had also, after Gu Xuan's Zhuge Liang activated Empty City,

played Bountiful Harvest, forcing Gu Xuan to take a Slash!

Causing Gu Xuan to be hit for two HP directly by the Lord.

With all those brilliant moves stacking up,

This was what caused the situation originally favored by the Rebels, which Gu Xuan had built, to take a sudden turn for the worse.

But with his teammate giving no support, Gu Xuan still had to pull himself together!

This body's original owner's initial golden beans had long since hit zero,

if he lost this round, he would be erased by the game space!

【Player No. 1314, it is now your turn. Please begin playing cards!】

Upon hearing the game space's cold mechanical voice,

Gu Xuan suppressed the fear in his heart, took a deep breath,

forced his mind to calm down, and began his turn.

"Observe tonight's celestial phenomena, and know the great affairs of the world!"

The Zhuge Liang phantom behind Gu Xuan swayed the feather fan in his hand, a faint smile of having everything under control on his face,

Skill 【Stargazing】 activated!

Stargazing allowed him, before the turn began, to view cards from the top of the deck equal to the number of players currently alive.

Four cards shimmered with a faint glow, spreading out before Gu Xuan.

【Slash of Clubs, Slash of Spades, Arrow Volley, Slash of Diamonds】

"These cards…"

Upon seeing these four cards, Gu Xuan's expression shifted slightly.

Three of the four cards were Slash,

he could only take two of them,

among the remaining two cards, a Slash was bound to be left,

which he definitely had to place at the bottom of the deck, to keep Sun Shangxiang from drawing it,

otherwise, when it came time for the player in seat three to play cards,

they could use the Vermilion Bird Fan to play a Fire Slash,

instantly killing seat-five Zhen Ji, who was wearing Vine Armor, had only one HP, and held no cards in hand!

By then, Sun Shangxiang, having killed a Rebel, could draw three more cards,

then activate her skill to heal herself and the Lord.

In that case, he would almost certainly lose this round!

However,

simply placing it at the bottom of the deck wasn't safe either,

no one knew,

when Sun Shangxiang drew cards later, whether she would draw a Slash,

if she drew a Slash,

the above scenario would still happen, and teammate Zhen Ji would still die!

"No! Can't give her a chance to play cards!"

Gu Xuan glanced at the female player in seat three,

hesitated for a moment, then directly took the Arrow Volley and Slash of Diamonds from the four cards into his hand,

Currently, the Sun Shangxiang player still has two cards in hand and one drop of blood.

If those two cards aren't both Dodge cards, then...

There's still a chance to turn things around!

Thinking of this, Gu Xuan said directly:

"Against Player Three, play Kill!"

Hearing Gu Xuan's voice, the Sun Shangxiang player's brow rose slightly,

then unhurriedly played a card.

"Dodge."

Gu Xuan glanced at it and sighed:
