Chapter 3

"As expected, there's still a Dodge?"

The male player in seat one, seeing this, grinned smugly at Gu Xuan.

"Stop wasting your energy! Surrender nicely and hand over the beans! Ha ha!"

Both traitors only had one drop of HP left,

This round, they had the win in the bag!

Gu Xuan ignored him,

The Zhuge Liang phantom behind him was still waving its feather fan, a "everything under control" expression on its face.

But by now a thin sheen of sweat had already beaded on Gu Xuan's forehead.

"The next card is crucial!"

Sun Shangxiang still had one card in hand; he couldn't tell whether it was a Dodge,

But he could only gamble!

Gu Xuan clenched his fist, controlled Zhuge Liang to play his last hand card,

"Arrow Volley!!"

"Ding~" a melodious note of a qin rang out,

With his hand cards spent, the Zhuge Liang phantom behind Gu Xuan waved its fan a little faster.

【Empty City skill activated! Other characters cannot choose you as the target of a Slash or Duel!】

His teammate Zhen Ji, equipped with Vine Armor, was immune to Arrow Volley damage.

But if Sun Shangxiang had no Dodge, and Liu Bei had no Peach either.

Sun Shangxiang would die for sure this wave!

After Gu Xuan played that Arrow Volley,

A panicked look appeared on the face of the female player controlling Sun Shangxiang.

"How do you still have Arrow Volley?!"

However, the game space did not bend to her will,

Without a Dodge, a sharp arrow pierced through the air and shot straight through Sun Shangxiang's heart!

The female player stared wide-eyed and screamed hoarsely at the Lord:

"Peach! Peach! Save me!!"

At this point Liu Bei panicked too,

"I don't have a Peach!"

He only had a single Slash in hand—where would a Peach come from?

The moment Liu Bei finished speaking, the female player controlling Sun Shangxiang shot Gu Xuan one reluctant glare,

Then turned into a streak of white light and left the game space.

After Sun Shangxiang vanished,

Liu Bei had no Dodge, lost one drop of HP, and was left with only two drops.

"Phew,"

Gu Xuan looked at the two drops of HP, and at Liu Bei who most likely had no Dodge in hand, and the suspended weight in his heart eased a little.

This round, he'd clawed it back!

If his teammate Zhen Ji's Goddess of Luo judgment this round was a bit luckier,

Landing a Wine and a Slash,

Then this round would be locked down!

Seat one,

The player controlling Liu Bei slumped back in his chair, glaring at Gu Xuan with a resentful stare,

But he knew that whatever he said now was useless,

With the Loyalist dead, his Lord Liu Bei was essentially a blank-slate general!

One against two—hope existed, but it was slim.

Next round, seat five's turn to play,

"Drifting, like snow whirled by a passing wind~"

The Zhen Ji behind the female player in seat five smiled seductively, activating the skill 【Goddess of Luo】.

【Before your turn begins, you may perform a judgment; if it is a black card, you may obtain it!】

"Spade Slash, Spade Slash, Spade Wine, Heart Diamond Dodge."

The first three cards were all black,

And went straight into Zhen Ji's hand.

Gu Xuan, who had been watching every move on the field, let out a heavy sigh of relief in his heart,

"This one's locked down!"

Sure enough,

The next moment, the Zhen Ji player used a Wine-Slash and directly sent the two-HP Lord Liu Bei off!

【Congratulations to the Traitor faction, game victory!】

【Gold Beans +1000!】

【Player 1314, highest overall score of the match, Gold Beans +500 bonus!】

……

The game ended, Gu Xuan returned home,

Hearing the broadcast from the Game Space,

he finally wiped the sweat from his forehead.

But,

before he could even relax,

the voice of the Game Space sounded again:

【Since Player 1314 has only completed two matches this month.】

【The Game Space will forcibly match the next game in ten minutes.】

【Player 1314, please prepare!】

【Given the player's previous record of passive play, if the player loses the match, two times the normal amount of Golden Beans will be deducted!】

Instantly,

Gu Xuan's face turned even paler.

The Legends of the Three Kingdoms Game Space requires players to play three matches per month,

and it is now 11 PM on the last night of March.

Before he transmigrated to this world,

the original owner had only played one match; adding the one he just finished, that made only two.

One more was needed!

That last match,

Gu Xuan's play could be said to have had not a single mistake,

even reaching the absolute limit possible with the hand of cards under those circumstances at the time.

But because of the idiot teammates,

they had almost lost!

If the next match also encountered teammates like that,

wouldn't the Golden Beans definitely be lost?

Moreover!

Because the original owner of this body had a record of passive play in that match,

if he lost this time,

he would have to deduct double the Golden Beans, which is two thousand!

He currently only had fifteen hundred Golden Beans won back,

not enough to cover the deduction, and he would be erased by the Game Space!

"If my top-tier General's account from when I was a streamer in my past life still existed."
