Chapter 349
The subsequent development of events, if projected in a positive direction—
this round, in the next two turns of Gu Xuan,
as long as Gu Xuan didn't continue to activate the flipping skill,
and gave him a chance to play cards,
he would have a probability of being able to play Kills consecutively,
counter-attacking against the wind, and turning defeat into victory!
Thinking of the moment he pulled out the Wolong Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and took out the Lord,
and the shocked expressions of the other players on the field,
the Boundary Zhu Huan player couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement,
wait a little longer,
this game,
there was still a chance after all...
As a mature game space player, he would not let go of any tiny shred of hope!
………….
"As expected, a loyal subject..."
After this round of playing cards,
Gu Xuan was finally able to confirm the identity of the Bound Liu Chan player.
Although the Bound Liu Chan player now only had one last point of health left,
this was not a big deal.
As long as he was a loyal subject,
then from here on out,
the other players wouldn't even think about playing another card!
A faint, elusive smile hung on the corner of Gu Xuan's mouth,
as he focused his gaze on the Bound Zhu Ran player.
Did he really think Gu Xuan didn't know what kind of scheme he was cooking up?
Wasn't it just trying to hoard cards for a burst kill?
If not for Bound Liu Chan being the loyal subject,
he might have had a glimmer of hope,
but now...
"Heh." Gu Xuan shook his head slightly, saying nothing.
'This guy is really arrogant!'
The Bound Zhu Ran player heard Gu Xuan's nonchalant laughter,
his expression filled with dissatisfaction.
It was as if he had already won for sure; it was truly...
While the Bound Zhu Ran player was still fuming,
Gu Xuan looked at the two new hand cards he had just drawn,
and had no intention of playing them.
In this situation, he no longer needed cards to deal damage;
the skill effects of Divine Huang Yueying alone
were enough to eliminate everyone on the field!
On the competition field, a great wind rose once more,
and a full moon appeared faintly in the sky above the players' heads.
Divine Huang Yueying lightly twirled a lock of her hair,
and the skill [Knowing Fate] was activated!
This time, Gu Xuan only targeted the second-position Bound Zhu Ran and the fourth-position Ma Ma Yunlu.
The third-position Bound Mancheng had already been flipped over,
so there was no need to include him in the selection.
"The moon gathers essence from the high branches..."
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
Another series of sounds of health points shattering rang out,
just like the popping of firecrackers.
The Bound Zhu Ran player and the Ma Ma Yunlu player,
in just an instant, saw their health points drop to two.
"The Lord's skill doesn't have to target all players on the field?!"
"It can choose targets freely?"
The Ma Ma Yunlu player was horrified.
Then, was her killing of Bound Liu Chan just now a waste of effort?
She had thought that with Bound Liu Chan, a loyal subject with only one health point, present,
Gu Xuan would have some reservations when using his skill!
As it turned out, she had guessed wrong!
"This round is over..." Although the Bound Mancheng player was not chosen as a target for [Knowing Fate],
he closed his eyes in despair.
He should have known from the start,
when encountering this underworld mastermind 1314,
how could they possibly have a chance to win?
When the Bound Zhu Ran player saw that the Lord had not flipped Bound Liu Chan,
his heart instantly went cold.
Originally, he thought that if the Lord made everyone flip,
Bound Liu Chan would also flip and be unable to use [Delegation],
so no matter what, there would always be a time when he could play cards.
But now,
the Lord had skipped the Bound Liu Chan player!
He didn't make him flip,
and what did that mean?
After the Lord finished the turn gained from [Delegation], he would start another one of his own turns,
and because he, Bound Mancheng, and Ma Ma Yunlu were all flipped,
the game prompt would skip them directly and go to the Bound Liu Chan player's turn!
The Bound Liu Chan player could then use [Delegation] on Gu Xuan again, and Gu Xuan would use his skill to flip them again...
In this way, the cycle would repeat,
and they wouldn't even have a chance to play a single card!
As for his original plan to hoard cards, wait for the right moment to equip the Wolong Zhuge Repeating Crossbow,
and then use a Kill to target Gu Xuan and eliminate him...
It was no different from a dream.
"Heh..." The Bound Zhu Ran player's mouth revealed a weak and bitter smile.
He finally understood why Gu Xuan had looked at him and smiled just now...
It turned out that he had long since predicted that he had no way to turn the tables,
and everything he did was nothing more than a death struggle.
Ink-like blackness spread across the round table in the competition venue,
dyeing the general cards of Gu Xuan, Bound Zhu Ran, and Ma Ma Yunlu
completely black.
At the same time,
Ma Ma Yunlu's complexion also turned the same color as her general card,
clearly indicating that her mood had reached its absolute worst.
Gu Xuan unhurriedly discarded his last two hand cards again.
"Wishing to leave and live in seclusion, no longer harboring extravagant hopes..."
As the number of hand cards returned to zero,
the skill [Suluo] was activated once more!
The ink color faded from Gu Xuan's general card, flipping it back to the front.
Vibrant vitality surrounded Divine Huang Yueying,
and her health points, from two,
were restored to four once again!
"It doesn't just restore one health point, but restores it completely?"
Even though the Bound Zhu Ran player had seen Gu Xuan use the [Suluo] skill before,
at that time,
he thought this skill could only restore one health point.
But now it seemed,
it clearly could restore health points to the maximum!
"Forget it, it doesn't matter..." The Bound Zhu Ran player was dejected at this moment,
completely lacking the drive he had when he first got the Wolong Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and a hand full of red Kills.
Now, regardless of whether Gu Xuan restored one health point or full health,
he couldn't play any cards,
so what was the point of worrying about these things?
[Please discard two hand cards!]
The mechanical prompt from the game space reached the ears of the Bound Zhu Ran player once again.
He clicked randomly twice in the hand card area,
discarding two red Kills.
Gu Xuan glanced at Bound Zhu Ran.
This guy really was hoarding for a burst,
two red Kills; if his expectations were correct, he definitely still had a Wolong Zhuge Crossbow in his hand.
But now, it didn't matter.
He couldn't play cards anyway, so he couldn't do anything to him.
The Ma Ma Yunlu player had no hand cards at all,
so there was no question of discarding.
She looked at Gu Xuan with red eyes, cursing fiercely in her heart:
If she could meet this guy in the next round, and she happened to have a Guan Shi Axe and a Kill,
and Gu Xuan happened to have four squares in his hand, she would definitely make Gu Xuan taste some bitterness...
But, as this thought circled in her mind,
she immediately realized how unrealistic it was...
There were simply too many prerequisites...
"Forget it... better to never meet this guy again."
The Ma Ma Yunlu player felt deflated,
thinking that this prayer had a higher chance of coming true.
With the combination of Divine Huang Yueying and Bound Liu Chan,
from here on out,
the life and death of the remaining players
were completely out of their control.
As soon as Gu Xuan's turn ended, it would immediately be the Bound Liu Chan player's turn.
The Bound Liu Chan player's chubby face was filled with excitement.
"Thanks to you, my dear minister!"
"Everything is up to the Prime Minister!"
…………
The [Delegation] skill was used continuously,
and the smile on the Bound Liu Chan player's face never disappeared.
Under the blessing of extra turns and flip effects,
the perfectly fine five-person match
had now become a two-person stage for Divine Huang Yueying and Bound Liu Chan!
In the round after round of [Knowing Fate] from Divine Huang Yueying,
the two rebels, Bound Zhu Ran and Bound Mancheng, and the traitor Ma Ma Yunlu,
couldn't hold on for long at all,
and soon, they were eliminated one by one!
…………
"It's disgusting. After a whole game, the other players only had one turn to play cards? The big shot's general is truly too terrifying!"
"I could understand the previous generals. Even if the big shot's opponents couldn't beat him, they could at least play cards and see hope. But this general even strips people of the right to play cards..."
"Yeah, plus Bound Liu Chan, it's basically infinite turns. It's too scary!"
"If the big shot hadn't been unsure if Bound Liu Chan was a loyal subject in the first round, I bet Bound Zhu Ran and the others wouldn't even have had a chance to play a card..."
"I'm in an air-conditioned room at 18 degrees, and watching this makes me break into a sweat. Watching the big shot's matches is more exciting than watching a horror movie..."
…………
Gu Xuan exited the competition venue and returned to the game space.
Almost immediately, the game space's prompt sounded in his ears.
[Match ended! Congratulations to the Lord and Loyal camp for winning the game!]
[Gold Beans +1000!]
[Player performance was optimal, additional Gold Beans +500]
[Title bonus, additional Gold Beans +750]
The Gold Beans were instantly deposited into Gu Xuan's account.
At the same time, a wave of intense fatigue and dizziness washed over him.
Gu Xuan swayed, almost unable to stand steady...
"Damn, I've played too many rounds these past two days."
Gu Xuan forced himself to stay alert. His original intention was to earn more Gold Beans during the [Underworld] limited-time special event,
but he had almost ignored the physical exertion brought about by the matches in the game space.
"It's almost 11:30..."
Gu Xuan looked at the time.
No wonder he felt dizzy and lightheaded,
and just wanted to eat.
Gu Xuan rubbed his temples.
He had played enough matches in the last two days and earned quite a few Gold Beans.
If he kept going like this, he might actually die of sudden death.
It would be better to rest for half a day, adjust his state, and prepare for tomorrow's BOSS guarding event.
