Chapter 236

it suddenly became foggy...

"A dream is like a promise, all paid to a pillow of yellow millet..."

A misty voice, still carrying a hint of sleepiness, sounded from behind Gu Xuan.

Immediately after,

the Zhang Xiu player saw

that all the clouds and mist around

condensed behind Gu Xuan,

turning into a cloud bed.

The Zhou Xuan phantom lay on its side on the cloud bed,

supporting its head with one hand,

closing its eyes,

and making a slight snoring sound in its nasal cavity.

It actually started to sleep with its eyes closed?!

………….

"What kind of strange skill is this?"

The Zhang Xiu player was seeing a general phantom sleeping before the player's turn started for the first time.

But, immediately after, he discovered that

at the moment Zhou Xuan closed his eyes,

the surrounding match field seemed to produce a very strange fluctuation.

A strong sense of sleepiness swept over from his brain.

In an instant,

the Zhang Xiu player felt as if he had fallen asleep,

and everything now was like a dream...

"How is that possible? This is the game space, not my big bed at home."

The Zhang Xiu player felt a bit funny about this inexplicable feeling.

He must have seen Gu Xuan's strange general,

and then produced an illusion!

Gu Xuan saw the reactions of Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yi on the field,

and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Only he knew

that just now,

Zhou Xuan's skill 【Awakening and Dreaming】 had already been activated!

From now on,

he would gain two uninterrupted turns!

…………

"So sleepy... why did I suddenly feel so sleepy just now, and then I was fine again."

"Yeah, yeah, me too..."

"How strange, is it the skill of the boss's general,"

"I always feel like I'm in a dream now."

"I discovered a terrifying thing, don't be scared when I say it,

I just slapped myself... and found it didn't hurt..."

"?? What?"

"Really, I tried it too, no feeling! If you don't believe me, try it!"

"Damn, did we all dream, and I'm chatting with you in a dream??"

"Scary, I'll try exiting the live stream."

…………

Preparation phase,

the landlord's exclusive skill 【Overbearing】 was activated!

Gu Xuan drew a card from the deck.

Immediately after, during the card-drawing phase, he drew two more cards.

Now Gu Xuan's hand cards:

【Nothing Out of Nothing, Unanswerable, Slash, Fire Slash, Dodge, Peach, Wine】.

With such hand cards,

it was enough to activate every option of Zhou Xuan's second skill!

"Nothing Out of Nothing!"

The old rule, you have to draw cards first at the start,

and then decide how to play your cards.

While using Nothing Out of Nothing,

Zhou Xuan, who was still in his sleep, stretched,

and muttered in his mouth:

"The dream is misty, but there are traces to occupy..."

In an instant, the skill 【Dream Divination】 was activated!

Three options

appeared in front of Gu Xuan.

One is that if no card of the same name was used in the previous round, Gu Xuan draws a non-damage card.

Two is that in the next round, if a card of the same name is used for the first time, Gu Xuan can obtain a damage card.

Three is that Gu Xuan chooses another character, lets him discard two cards,

and then if the sum of the points of the cards discarded by this character is greater than 10,

he will receive 1 point of fire damage.

However,

the extra turn obtained by Zhou Xuan's skill

is a fake turn, just like a dream.

Even if in this turn,

Gu Xuan deals massive damage to the opponent with Frenzied Slaughter, or even Unparalleled, Take the Head Among Ten Thousand Armies,

but,

as long as the enemy doesn't die,

the skill ends,

the dream wakes up, and the health value will immediately return to the original amount.

Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yi cooperate, and the latter will definitely draw Peaches for Zhang Xiu.

Coupled with Zhang Xiu's four points of health,

and he is not a burst general, he basically can't take out Zhang Xiu in one turn.

Therefore,

the purpose of Gu Xuan's extra turn this time

is not to deal damage,

but to dismantle the Zhang Xiu player's hand card deck.

Gu Xuan immediately chose the third option.

"All things have signs, only dreams can be divined..."

"All things have omens, only dreams can divine..."

An illusory voice echoed from every corner of the competition arena.

Before the Zhang Xiu player could even react,

they heard the prompt from the game space:

【Please discard two cards from your hand】.

The Zhang Xiu player was stunned.

(ahcd) He had three Strikes and one "Nothing Out of Nothing" in his hand!

To be forced to discard two,

he couldn't bear to part with any of them!

Wouldn't that be the death of him?

The Zhang Xiu player gritted his teeth and glared at Gu Xuan,

knowing in his heart that this was Gu Xuan's skill.

But to force someone to discard two cards right off the bat,

wasn't that equivalent to using two "Cross the River to Tear Down the Bridge" for free?

As expected, the more unfamiliar the general, the more shameless they were!

But there was no help for it.

The response progress bar of the game space was constantly vanishing.

The Zhang Xiu player hesitated for a long while,

before, with a heart full of pain,

he threw away two Strikes from his hand area.

【6 of Clubs Strike, 5 of Spades Strike】.

However, just when he thought it was over after discarding the Strikes,

in an instant,

flames from an unknown source ignited on the phantom of the general behind him!

"Snap!"

The flames scorched him.

Immediately,

the Zhang Xiu player took one point of damage,

leaving him with only three points of health!

"Tearing down my cards is one thing,"

"but you're making me lose health too?!?"

The Zhang Xiu player looked at Gu Xuan,

his eyes full of shock.

How could anyone be this shameless!

Shouldn't it be that, as the price for forcing him to discard two cards,

Gu Xuan should be the one losing health?

You have to know,

if a peasant doesn't have an extra card-drawing skill in a turn,

they only draw two cards!

If Gu Xuan plays like this,

wouldn't it be equivalent to forcing one of the two peasants to undergo a "Grain Supply Cut" check every single turn?

And having to take a point of fire damage on top of that?!

"Underworld-tier!" The Zhang Yi player looked at Gu Xuan with a grave expression.

The game had only just begun,

and he had already seen through the underworld-tier nature of Gu Xuan's unfamiliar general!

…………

"Big Boss: Oh no, I've been seen through!"

"Hehe, so what if you know? Closing your eyes and waiting for death is the only thing you can do!"

"Just a moment ago, I was wondering if the Big Boss would capsize in the gutter under the Zhang Xiu player's skill since he hadn't drawn any 'Tear Down' or 'Snatch' cards.

Turns out the Big Boss's skill is equivalent to two 'Cross the River to Tear Down the Bridge' cards!"

"As expected, every time we worry for the Big Boss, it's just wasted effort!"

"Big Boss: What level are you, and what status am I? Do I need you to worry for me?"

…………

Gu Xuan had long anticipated this reaction from Zhang Xiu.

After all, a general like Zhou Xuan,

in the current version,

was still a bit too far beyond the cognitive reach of other players.

He shrugged slightly.

The response progress bar for "Nothing Out of Nothing" appeared,

but no one used "Unrelenting."

Gu Xuan drew two cards from the deck:

one Heart +1 Horse and one Green Steel Sword.

He equipped the Green Steel Sword first.

Before the Green Steel Sword even landed in Gu Xuan's equipment area,

the skill 【Dream Divination】 activated once again!

"This is a national dream, not a matter of the sovereign's house..."

The moment the skill activated,

three options appeared before Gu Xuan once more.

Since the third option, tearing down cards, had already been chosen,

he could only choose from the other two options this turn.

Gu Xuan glanced at his hand,

and then,

without hesitation, he chose the first option.

"Life is like a dream; when it is false, it is also true."

Butterflies with pale blue wings appeared out of thin air above the deck.

With a light flap of their wings,

a card flew out from the deck.

Gu Xuan took a look;

it was a -1 Horse.

"Not bad," he thought.

Zhou Xuan's first option to draw a non-damage card is random.

He would have preferred a strategy card that was useful to him.

"What kind of skill is this again?"

The Zhang Xiu player watched Gu Xuan draw cards, his brows furrowed into a 'chuan' character.

He had been forced to discard two cards,

yet Gu Xuan could still use a skill to draw a card during his own turn.

Plus, the Landlord could draw one extra card on top of the usual two.

Back and forth,

wouldn't that create a card difference of four cards directly?

"It seems I must end this battle as soon as possible!"

"It seems I must resolve this battle as quickly as possible!"
