Chapter 61 Summoning-Type Driven Armament

Every year, major media giants summarize the top ten keywords of the year.

If we broaden our perspective and summarize the ten keywords in terms of a century or even an entire glorious era, then many people will give similar and repetitive answers.

exactly.

Some media outlets have already covered similar topics.

This includes gathering and summarizing key terms from big data collection and surveys released across the entire internet.

The results were largely the same.

Most of them are: Card-driven weapons, Driven Armaments, Alliance Council, Plane, Meditation Diagram, Unity Meditation Method, Plane Measurement Science, Celestial School, Civilian Cards, Synthesis Formulas.

Most of these terms are enough to leave card players in the Age of Rise completely bewildered.

"Cards, a groundbreaking invention that makes card masters even greater."

"The widespread adoption of QA weapons and drive-type weapons throughout the military has enabled the army to perfectly realize its glorious century-long expedition, laying the foundation for the current territorial landscape."

It can be said.

In the Glorious Era, even with the most conservative estimates, a fully-strength legion was at least five times more powerful than a legion of the same size in the Rising Era.

There's a unique aesthetic to it, like aliens beating up primitive humans.

"Now it's your turn to choose the drive weapon."

At this moment, the group arrived at the Kawu testing ground on the first basement floor of the building.

Su Chen was no stranger to this place, as he had spent a morning here practicing his card insertion skills.

As for the various types of armor displayed in the showcase on the left wall, that was their main destination this time.

Last time, Su Chen only caught a glimpse of it, leaving after seeing an E-class Drive Armor: Red Hurricane.

Now that their wish has been fulfilled, they are entering the most exciting stage: the selection and use phase.

"Before you make your selection, let me give you a brief introduction."

"The drive armament can be viewed as a defensive armor with an amplifying effect."

"Based on the type of increase, they can be roughly divided into four categories."

"Power-type armor primarily provides card players with an extraordinary boost to their strength, making it a favorite for combat-oriented players."

The guest commentator was researcher Li Xiu.

Cards and weapons are inseparable, and card combinations are a specialized area of ​​research, so he is a true expert.

"Look, this is a typical power-type armor."

They arrived at a display case containing a piece of high-density alloy armor with a cold, metallic sheen.

The precision-forged outer alloy design features extremely full contour lines, with the shoulders and arms appearing very muscular.

Su Chen glanced at the nameplate label on the front of the cabinet.

【Name: E-Class Drive Armor - Crusher】

[Built-in modules: Hydraulic muscle system, propulsion system]

[Effect: Grants the wearer a 250%~350% increase in strength and a 180% speed boost]

[Card Setup: Ironclad Shield, Crushing Gauntlets, Speed ​​Boost, Atomic Heart, Metal Drill, Hammer, Overload]

"You should be very familiar with the built-in modules, right? I heard that you squeezed all the performance out of the built-in modules during a survival test."

Li Xiu chuckled as he mentioned this, saying, "As for built-in air conditioning and deodorizing functions, these are basic requirements and won't be specifically listed in the description of the weapon system."

"This metal samurai armor has a simple and straightforward effect: it just increases damage."

In this regard.

There are some things that Su Chen understands very well.

After all, he had been handling some motors since he was a child.

Some higher-level drive armaments even have special reader systems and external loading slot components.

The drive-mounted weaponry in front of us is the simplest, most basic level.

This is a scene that even the old-school card players of the past couldn't comprehend; it's a complete game-changer. "Provincial tournaments only allow the selection of three cards."

"Only two two-star energy cards are allowed in a single arena match."

"The trade-offs and choices involved require individual judgment."

Li Xiu said.

soon.

They arrived at another display case.

"This is the most typical magic-type armor among the four categories."

"The general focus is on enhancing mental control and magical damage."

Li Xiu explained it this way.

The magical battle suit in the cabinet doesn't show any muscular bulkiness at all; the lines are very soft, it fits the body perfectly, and there's a cape on the back, giving it a very avant-garde and fashionable feel.

Even if you wear it out on the street, an ordinary person who doesn't know much about magic armor wouldn't even think it's a magical armor.

【Name: E-Class Drive Armor - Magic Cloak】

[Built-in modules: Magic Energy Regeneration System, Flight System]

[Effect: Provides the wearer with a 250%~380% increase in mental control and spell damage]

[Card Combinations: Invisibility, Clone, Magic Chains, Energy Drain Staff, Speed ​​Boost, Teleport, Illusion, Mana Rage]

Su Chen glanced at the message and memorized it.

Increased mental control allows card casters to perform more nuanced mind control maneuvers.

As for the spell damage amplification, it undoubtedly greatly enhances the strength of the activated spell cards.

"The magic cloak's defensive capabilities are clearly inferior to those of a strength-based metal warrior, and it will be troublesome once it gets close."

Teacher He Yun said with a smile, "However, you probably won't consider the strength type or the magic type. Come on, the remaining balanced type and summoning type drive weapons are the ones you should choose."

Balanced type, as the name suggests, can be amplified in both strength and spell damage.

It takes into account all aspects and is very well balanced.

Of course, without any obvious weaknesses or outstanding strengths, it is naturally disliked by many card players because it is too mediocre.

However, this idea is somewhat one-sided.

After all, some card players' decks are not all physical or magical damage types; it is common for them to involve multiple types.

"Come on, I'll show you the drive-mounted weapon that's best suited for you."

Full of confidence this time, Li Xiu skipped over the balanced armor and led Su Chen away from the display case wall.

They ventured deeper into the area and, on an extended display platform, encountered the key target of their selection—the summonable drive weapon.

"The introduction of pluggable cold and hot weapons has already rescued the combat style from the gutter, and the magic style has also benefited from it, breaking the monopoly of the summoning style."

"With the emergence of fully covered driving weapons, the advantage of the combat style has become quite significant. Fortunately, the spring for summoner card players has also arrived."

"The solution is to also equip the summoned creatures with a layer of driving armor."

As Li Xiu spoke, he picked up a mysterious badge-shaped drive mechanism from the display stand.

"Su Chen, this is the drive unit I chose for you."

"E-Class Drive Armor - Spirit Armor".

This time, Level 1 Researcher Li Xiu was very confident and felt that he would not make any mistakes.

No matter how you look at it, it can't be wrong.

Beast Spirit Cards, as Special Summoning Cards, can also exist as spirits, draped in a layer of armor.

Whether it's the card player in their spirit possession state or the elemental spirit in its beast form, they can benefit greatly from it.

Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief after Su Chen gladly accepted the palm-sized drive unit.

"At least I got it right once."
