Chapter 282

“The only plan now is to retreat and defend, then decide on the next move!”

Skill [Delayed Wisdom] activated!

Gu Xuan is no longer affected by damage from Attack cards or ordinary Trick cards!

“Damn! Even Chen Gong has appeared?!”

The player using Boundary Lu Bu threw their hand cards onto the table,

slumping into their chair like a ragdoll,

eyes vacant and lifeless.

“Then what use is this Wolong Zhuge Crossbow to me?!”

Chen Gong’s defensive skill

is notoriously overpowered throughout the entire game space,

acting as the ultimate counter to multi-attack generals.

Every turn,

he only takes damage once.

Regardless of whether they use subsequent Attacks, or cards like Southern Barbarian Invasion, Ten Thousand Arrows, or Duel,

none of them can deal any damage to Chen Gong!

“I only played one Attack card!!!”

The Boundary Lu Bu player’s mental state had completely collapsed.

Their Wolong Zhuge Crossbow and the three Attack cards in their hand

were now effectively useless?!!

They hadn’t even gotten to enjoy it yet,

and it was already worthless!!!

Who could stand this?!

The Boundary Lu Bu player gritted their teeth so hard they nearly shattered them,

yet they were completely unable to do anything to Gu Xuan.

Seeing this, the player in the second position using Boundary Sun Quan

felt their heart sink.

Their eyes were now devoid of light,

their expression weary.

“With [Delayed Wisdom], it means the Landlord only takes damage once per turn,”

“and combined with the Landlord’s ability to treat one card as a Peach every turn, plus [Righteous Duty] to recover one health, and that unknown first skill that recovers one health and one max health per cycle, he’s basically recovering three health every round.”

“This… is completely impossible to beat!”

No matter how they calculated it,

they couldn’t make a dent in Gu Xuan.

“You bastard!”

A real turtle!

That turtle shell is truly hard!

Never mind that it was just them and Boundary Lu Bu,

even if three more people came, the Boundary Sun Quan player didn’t think the Peasants could win.

At this very moment,

they wished there was a surrender button in the game space like in other ordinary games.

If there were,

they could find relief sooner.

Given the damage-nullifying nature of Gu Xuan’s general, if they really had to kill two generals with a combined health pool of nine,

who knew how many rounds it would take!

The Boundary Sun Quan player pulled at their hair in a breakdown.

After playing so many matches,

they had never felt such a sense of powerlessness!

The Boundary Lu Bu player in the third position—

their turn time had already passed.

The game space automatically discarded one of their hand cards,

bringing their hand size down to five.

Subsequently,

it was Gu Xuan’s turn again.

“You can’t take it anymore?”

Gu Xuan looked at their expressions and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He wasn’t even in his true complete form yet;

the Myriad Calamity Indestructible Divine Xuanwu hadn’t even reached perfection.

How could these two

be so fragile?

The turn began again.

During the draw phase,

Gu Xuan used the [Gifted Bribe] skill to draw up to five cards.

Then, he selected two Dodge cards and one Attack card to give to the Boundary Lu Bu player.

Even though the Boundary Lu Bu player had a Wolong Zhuge Crossbow, he wasn’t afraid at all.

The moment the cards were given, Gu Xuan’s max health returned to eight, and his current health recovered to seven.

“Hidden in the green mountains, wandering under a pseudonym by the white waters!”

Skill [World-Escaping] activated. Gu Xuan threw an Attack card at the Boundary Sun Quan player.

“Dodge!”

“Southern Barbarian Invasion!”

Gu Xuan pulled a card from his hand area.

“Roar!” Instantly,

the roar of a primeval giant elephant echoed across the game field.

In the Boundary Sun Quan player’s hand,

there was no Attack card,

so they could only take one point of damage…

“Living in seclusion by the green pines, escaping to the lonely bamboo hills…”

[World-Escaping] activated again.

Gu Xuan chose to prevent the damage the Boundary Sun Quan player would have taken,

selected a skill,

reduced his max health by one, and drew a card.

In an instant,

three skills appeared before Gu Xuan:

[Mutual Courtesy], [Righteous Severance], and [Sending Trust].

“Emperor Xuan’s [Mutual Courtesy],”

“I even drew that?!”

………….

“This luck is truly not bad.”

Gu Xuan sighed once more.

The second round yielded [Gift-Bribing],

and now [Mutual Etiquette] has appeared.

This combination of skills, for Guan Ning,

is simply perfect.

“But it’s a pity, Guan Ning’s own card-replenishing skills are still too few. Wanting to gather the suits required for [Mutual Etiquette],”

“is a bit difficult.”

Gu Xuan sighed slightly,

then decided to lay low for two more rounds,

to acquire more skills, preferably ones that can replenish cards.

One round of massive burst damage to finish off these two peasants directly,

so they stop looking at him with eyes that want to kill,

it’s truly unsettling.

He ended his turn.

The "Nothing from Nothing" obtained from the "Bountiful Harvest" last round

was swiped by the Bound Lu Bu player,

though the latter’s mentality had exploded, so he didn’t use it.

He had no other cards left in his hand to play now,

and could only keep two hand cards,

then ended his turn.

“How can one retreat and ruin the nation’s cause!”

At the end of the turn phase,

the skill [Upholding Righteousness] activated!

A virtual Slash was converted, targeting the Bound Sun Quan!

“Clack!”

The latter had no Dodge in hand and could only take one point of damage.

Immediately,

only two points of health remained!

“This guy better not collapse yet!” Gu Xuan glanced at Bound Sun Quan’s health.

He hadn’t reached his full form yet!

It was the turn of the second-position Bound Sun Quan player.

The Bound Sun Quan player let out a long sigh toward the sky.

He had no strength left in his entire body to continue playing cards!

But hindered by the game space’s penalty rules for passive play,

he had to pull himself together

and continue playing.

In the draw phase, two cards flew out from the deck and landed in the Bound Sun Quan player’s hand area, replenishing his hand to three cards.

“Since I have already swept away the north wind, I shall turn my hand to summon the east wind!”

The [Balance] skill activated.

The Bound Sun Quan player discarded three hand cards,

then drew four more from the deck.

“Nothing from Nothing!”

A golden card flew out from the Bound Sun Quan player’s hand area,

splitting into two,

and fell back into his hand.

Equipping a Green Dragon Blade,

the Bound Sun Quan player used a Peach without hesitation,

restoring his health to three points,

then neatly kept three hand cards

and ended his turn.

Knowing that using a Slash on Gu Xuan was useless,

he simply didn’t use it, to avoid giving him free cards.

It was the turn of the third-position Bound Lu Bu player.

Last round, he kept five hand cards, Gu Xuan gave him three,

and adding the two cards he just drew,

he now

had a total of ten hand cards!

Among the ten cards, most were even Slashes!

In a normal match,

if he had this kind of hand,

he would be smiling all day long.

Even in an eight-player game, he could slash from the seventh position to the first!

But now, facing this old turtle Gu Xuan was playing,

ten cards,

at most could deal two points of damage with a Wine-Slash,

and the latter was a big health tank with seven points of health!

What use was two points of damage?

It wasn’t even enough to cover one round of health recovery!

“Sigh!”

It was truly infuriating.

If he had met a burst-damage general who could slash-slash-slash him to death,

the Bound Lu Bu player would have felt better.

Meeting such an old turtle torturing people,

it was truly disgusting!

Mainly,

he couldn’t even say the opponent was doing it on purpose.

After all, one could see from these few rounds of the game,

Gu Xuan’s landlord general’s skills were just like this,

belonging to a slow-developing, camping-style general.

“Really messing with my mentality!”

The Bound Lu Bu player sighed heavily again.

“Nothing from Nothing!”

The "Nothing from Nothing" swiped from Gu Xuan’s hand last round was used by the Bound Lu Bu player.

The golden card split into two.

“Another Slash?!”

The Bound Lu Bu player looked at the hand cards in front of him,

hammered the table heavily, making a “bang” sound.

What use were so many Slashes to him?

Wouldn’t a "Pleasure Not Thinking of Shu" or a "Grain Interruption" be better than this?

At least it could drain Gu Xuan’s hand cards.

The Bound Lu Bu player was agitated.
