Chapter 3108: Romantic

Shiler took out all the cards to look at them and found that the game was set up quite cleverly. Despite bearing the name "Three Kingdoms Kill," it was actually more like "Hearthstone," with a dice-rolling phase for checks, and the character summoning felt a bit like a Pokémon battle.

Everyone had a main control card—the "Lord" in Three Kingdoms Kill or the "Hero" in Hearthstone. At the start, you roll dice and summon characters to the field based on the points rolled.

The characters were basically divided into several factions, which were the various superhero factions, such as the Avengers, Young Avengers, Sanctum Sanctorum, Kamar-Taj, S. H. I. E. L. D., New Warriors, Spider-Army, Asgard, and so on.

This was originally created by Disney to promote American superheroes, so it basically only featured American superheroes. Shiler heard there was a Chinese hero version, but it was a mobile game, and they couldn't play it outside the firewall.

Then there were event cards that could be summoned by rolling dice, such as "New York Bat Invasion," "Dark Elf Arrival," or "Asgardian God-King Wedding."

Shiler was very curious about what the effects of his own card were.

The others were also curious about theirs. Peter found his card first, and he had two: "Genius Researcher Peter Parker" and "Third-Generation Spider-Man Good Neighbor."

The researcher card looked like it was for a tech deck, following the same path as Iron Man; it could add positive effects to all mechs on the field and summon a flying shuttle to send characters from the draw pile onto the field.

The Good Neighbor deck was for the Spider-system, using web-shooters to launch webs for control, and it could also utilize Spider-Sense to forcibly swap positions once after the opponent made a move, avoiding attacks.

Gwen didn't find her own card, but she found Gwen-Spider-Man. Besides being able to play the Spider-system, she also had a "Punk Band" tag, which could play the music system.

Harry's Green Goblin was one of the cards in the monster deck, capable of using pumpkin bombs and having a pursuit skill; Dr. Lizard and Hulk also belonged to the monster deck.

Even Nick had his own card, which was clearly for a summoning flow, capable of summoning S. H. I. E. L. D. agents from the draw pile.

After rummaging for a long time, Shiler finally found himself.

All the cards had a comic-style portrait on the top half, which was drawn quite realistically. Shiler was wearing a white coat, holding a medical record book, seemingly consulting a patient.

His faction was "S. H. I. E. L. D.," which didn't surprise Shiler, after all, he was the psychologist for S. H. I. E. L. D.

However, the subsequent skills were a bit outrageous. His skill was to designate one person to flip their action card face down before they played it, and only show it to him; the skill was called "Mind Reading," and Professor X also had this skill.

But there is another skill called "Hypnosis," which allows you to shuffle this action card into many other action cards to replace one, and return it to the opponent in the form of a face-down card, letting them decide whether to use it.

That is to say, the opponent didn't know if the card had been replaced, and they could use it or not.

If they used it, all values on the card would double; if they didn't, all germ and other disease effects on the field would be cleared.

Shiler could already imagine what kind of chaos this card would cause.

Action cards weren't actually complicated; they were still the "Kill, Dodge, Peach" set, just changed to "Attack, Defense, and Heal," along with some unique action cards like "Rebound," "Skip," "Previous Player's Move," etc.

But these cards had specific values; for example, a basic attack card dealt 5 damage, and if doubled, it would be 10.

Shiler scanned around and didn't see any card with health exceeding 10 points. One hit like that would directly sever the main artery.

The key was that if they used it, the opponent wouldn't know if the card had been swapped. If they originally held a heal card and wanted to heal their hero, but it was swapped for an attack and the value doubled, killing themselves in one hit, Shiler was afraid they might tear up the card in anger.

And whoever drew this card would make life miserable for those playing the germ flow—clearing all germ effects on the field was just fine.

Speaking of characters, the heroes were also quite distinctive, being the major abstract entities of the universe—Eternity, Death, Infinity, Oblivion, and Galactus.

Of course, it wasn't that only five people could play because there were only five; they could be taken repeatedly, and each had their own skills, basically adding buffs to certain designated tags.

Shiler thought the game was quite interesting, so he wanted to play a round. Wanda also happily said, "Quick, quick, let's rehearse a round first to see how it goes, so it can be more exciting when we film the video tonight."

The others couldn't wait any longer and immediately set up the props to start playing.

First, they had to lay out the field, which was basically a tablecloth with an aerial view of New York City, marked with 6 points for placing event cards.

Then they placed the heroes, drew cards in turns, each person getting 5 character cards and 10 action cards.

Next was rolling the dice, but these dice were special; besides numbers, they had colors and suits. As long as one of them matched, the character could enter the field and act.

For example, if a Spade 8 was rolled, then all cards with black marks, spade symbols, and even numbers could enter the field.

After everyone placed their characters, they drew event cards, one at a time, but the person with the most characters on the field could decide where to place them. Once placed, they couldn't be moved.

After everything was set, they started rolling dice to take turns acting.

After all, they were superheroes, so they could choose not to attack each other but instead fight events. Solving events earned points, which could be used to buy special action cards or characters.

That is to say, the game encouraged fighting events together, because subsequent action cards and character cards couldn't be drawn anymore and had to be bought with points. If you didn't fight events at the beginning, you'd have nothing left once your hand was played out.

The bad news was that Shiler didn't draw himself; the good news was that Shiler drew Iron Man and also drew a corresponding special action card, "Place Brood Nest."

The others all went to fight events, while only he placed the nest on the spot. It wasn't that he didn't want points, but the key was that the earlier this thing was placed, the better, because it could produce small robots every turn.

When Peter saw Shiler take this thing out, he immediately nudged him with his elbow and said, "Let's form an alliance, look."

Peter took out a card to show Shiler. Shiler leaned over and discovered that Peter had luckily drawn himself, and he had even drawn Jarvis.

The Genius Researcher card can both buff mechs and fetch characters for free; Jarvis can also buff mechs and use Electronic Life Invasion to gain an extra turn of action. The two of them combined make for a perfect deck for a swarm-style build.

So the two formed an alliance. Peter wasn't in a hurry to fight events, and while Shiler was waiting for small robots, he was waiting for the shuttle's cooldown. Relying on the shuttle, he drew another Hawkeye; he had the skill to pilot machines, which could significantly increase the combat power of the front-line machines.

The others were playing for the first time and didn't know how to fight events, but the first event happened to be "Ten Rings Gang Invasion."

These small fries, whom Wanda could drown a dozen times over in the real world, beat them black and blue in the game, and the few characters drawn were all crippled by the Ten Rings' abilities.

Wanda was anxious to death, swapping card positions back and forth, one moment asking Captain America to hold the line, the next asking others to borrow Black Widow.

By the time their characters were almost dead, Shiler and Peter sent the wave of small robots they had saved up onto the battlefield.

These robots had been strengthened several times and were piloted by someone, so they immediately beat the Ten Rings Gang into a rout. This event was barely defended.

You have to know, if the event wasn't solved within 10 turns, everyone would be finished. This was quite realistic; after all, they had reached their home base, New York. If they didn't go all out, they would indeed have to die together.

After the fight, the points weren't split equally but depended on damage. Although Wanda's operations were fierce, her damage was really not enough to look at. Most of the damage was dealt by the mechanical legion, and she could only watch helplessly as Shiler and the others, who entered the field last, took away most of the points and happily chose cards in the market.

Choosing cards, of course, meant choosing those that could perfect the mechanical deck. Shiler chose an Ultron and then took two mechanical repairs. Peter didn't choose himself but chose the King of Wakanda, T'Challa, also known as Black Panther; he came with a powerful aircraft and could also buff machines.

After that, the others couldn't play at all. Shiler's small robots blocked the nest tightly. The others' cards basically didn't have the flying tag and couldn't threaten the nest at all. Once an event appeared, Shiler would be the first to solve it, continue to get points to buy cards, and grow bigger and bigger.

However, fortunately, Jarvis later drew a Thor and very coincidentally drew a special action card, "Treasure Vault," using Squirrel Girl's luck skill to pop out a Mjolnir.

This thing was the natural nemesis of the mechanical army. One lightning strike didn't just kill one; it could conduct electricity for a chain reaction. Shiler was careless for a moment, and the mechanical army he had painstakingly hoarded was almost wiped out by him.

Later, Wanda drew a Loki and could play the illusion flow. Shiler didn't understand how robots could be hallucinated, but he really didn't have any cards to dispel hallucinations in his hand. If it weren't for Peter switching to the Spider-flow later, the two of them could have been beaten black and blue.

As a result, Peter won in the end, and Shiler didn't even make it to second place, ranking third.

Shiler discovered that although the mechanical flow led by Iron Man was fierce in the early stage, it was clearly weak in the late stage because everyone had large-scale killing means in the late stage, and they were all chain reactions—one infecting two. The quality of the small robots wasn't good, and they died in patches.

Iron Man could summon mechs, but it required points, and they were expensive as hell. You say you don't bring them when you enter the field, and you even have to spend money? Isn't this killing Shiler?

But thinking about it carefully, it was quite reasonable. Which of Stark's mech sets didn't cost a fortune?

And this deck actually contained Stark's so-called ultimate alloy mech, "Justice Execution." This thing looked very strong on the card, but it required collecting all previous mechs, and it also required collecting two types of alloys in "Wakanda Crisis" and "Andromeda Galaxy Calamity," and then spending a large sum of money to summon it.

Of course, you could also play the magic-mech flow with Doctor Strange, but Shiler's hand was really black. He couldn't see a single magic card in the middle and late stages, let alone upgrading to an Iron Magic God.

Actually, if it were weak from beginning to end, it wouldn't be a big deal, but with such a big advantage in the front, it was actually beaten back bit by bit by others.

This mechanical flow made Shiler very angry, but he also knew that being angry at a pile of cards made no sense.

So he decided to be angry at the real Stark and directly took out his phone to output a barrage at Stark.

Stark, who was still arguing with Reed in the lab, was stunned by the scolding. What happened? Didn't I give the medical funds for this quarter on time?

Stark, who was confused, came to the hall and found a group of people playing vigorously in the hall. ===== CHAPTER 3109 =====
