Chapter 199 Li Guanqi is trying hard to remain serious (Part 2)
“You can’t do it alone,” Zarug said. “That’s why we need to cooperate!”

Cliff chimed in, "His deck is [Hubert], the same one you used in the league."

Mina also spoke lazily, her voice carrying a hint of allure: "So, handsome young man, we'd like to invite you to join us. Help us analyze what weaknesses this 'Silver City son-in-law' might have. You'll be well rewarded afterward."

"Capture him alive!" Gao Ge shouted in a deep voice.

Good guy.

Li Guanqi tried to remain serious.

These people actually wanted to find him in person, analyze his own weaknesses, and then help them capture him alive?

Very smart!
He's really having a hard time keeping his composure. Could this be considered a new kind of "I'm scheming against myself"?
Li Guanqi was silent for a moment, then looked up at Zhaluge: "If you find the person, are you confident you can capture him?"

"Hmph!" Zarug sneered, "It seems you don't know much about our Black Scorpion Gang."

"We possess—"

“Intelligence,” Zeke said.

“Agile,” Cliff said.

“Beauty,” Mina said.

“Power,” Gao Ge said.

Zarug points to himself: "Wisdom!"

"we are--"

"The Black Scorpion Burglary!" (X5)

"Impressive, impressive." Li Guanqi clapped and read aloud, devoid of emotion.

“You can join me.” He stopped the applause and said seriously, “You have to protect me; I’m a man worth 300,000.”

Zarug readily agreed: "It's only right, brother! In the Bianyuelong Underground City, who dares to disrespect our Black Scorpion Gang!"

“Handsome young man.” Mina’s eyes sparkled as she twirled the slender whip around her fingers. “Analyze what kind of person this son-in-law from Silver City will be. You all use [Hubel], you must have some connections, right?”

"This deck of [Hubel]..." Li Guanqi lowered his voice, gesturing for the others to move closer, his face showing just the right amount of seriousness, "...is very strange. If you use it for a long time, your mind will be warped, you'll become...extremely aggressive, and..."

He paused, observing the way the others held their breath, "Well, how should I put it, this guy is definitely a psychopath. The kind who tortures people while talking about love and affection, he's not mentally sound."

Black Scorpion and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Qi Ke subconsciously shrank his neck, and Zarug's single eye flickered, clearly indicating that he believed it to some extent.

“In your opinion,” Zarug pressed, “what kind of prey would this kind of person prefer?”

"Beautiful women!" Li Guanqi said decisively, "and the more the better!"

"You must have seen his live stream recordings. That guy himself has boasted about all his romantic escapades. He's an absolute lecher, a complete pervert!"

He changed the subject, his voice lower, "Do you know what the term 'son-in-law' means?"

"What do you mean?" As expected, Black Scorpion and the others were intrigued and pricked up their ears. Even Mina put away her flirtatious manner and focused her eyes.

Li Guanqi's expression was serious, as if he were revealing an ancient taboo: "I once saw these two characters in a tattered ancient book. In a lost era, they meant—'Pure Yin Ten Thousand Women Slayer'!"

"Pure Yin Ten Thousand Women Slayer?!" The words exuded an eerie aura, causing the group to gasp in shock.

Mina's expression changed slightly, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the whip tip: "It doesn't sound like anything good."

"You must have heard the story of Bai Tianqiu, right?" Li Guanqi said meaningfully, casually throwing out a name.

Zhaluge's one eye suddenly widened, as if he had been awakened to something, and he exclaimed, "Could it be that... what Bai Tianqiu fought for back then was...!"

Bai Tianqiu, the founder of Bian Yuelong Fortress, is a notorious villain known for his ruthlessness, indiscriminate killing, and debauchery.

His romantic escapades are enough to fill a book; it is said that he single-handedly "created" Bian Yuelong's Bai family.

Bian Yuelong originally did not belong to the Bai clan; he created it through his own slept with them.

Legend has it that this demon was defeated in Silver City, severely wounded, and fled back to Bian Yue Long, where he was eventually purified by the exorcist sisters of the Luo family in the City of Illusions. However, his sins were so grave that he angered the gods, and a curse was placed upon his descendants, causing all Bai family members to go blind upon reaching adulthood.

"For the sake of that wicked title of 'son-in-law'!" Mina gritted her teeth, her knuckles white as she gripped the whip, her voice filled with genuine anger. "Damn demon! Don't let me run into him!"

“I see.” A look of understanding flashed in Zarug’s single eye. He slapped his thigh forcefully. “That explains it! No wonder that guy loved playing with [Hubert]!”

He glanced at his men, his expression more grave than ever before: "Notify the brothers in the other fortresses to keep an eye out for this kind of lecherous fiend! If any clues are found, be extremely cautious. This person is highly aggressive and his methods are bound to be ruthless and vicious!"

He then looked at Li Guanqi and flattered him, "Brother, you really do know something. We didn't choose the wrong person." Li Guanqi nodded, his expression grave. "Everyone be careful. This person probably has some sinister methods. It would be best to join forces with other hunters to eliminate this evil!"

“That makes sense, the two hundred million bounty can be divided.” Zarug said in a deep voice, and told Cliff to call over the other hunter groups.

Soon, the persona of the 'Silver City Son-in-Law' spread through several intelligence groups in the underground city.

"Is he really a pervert?!"

So that's what "son-in-law" means!

"That damned fiend, I'll catch him even if I don't care about the bounty!"

"Report: A suspected target has been found in Sumeru Garden."

"Pervert! Oh no! Senhisa's abode, danger!"

Thousand Princesses, a famous all-female fortress in Biantana, does not exclude male tourists and has a highly developed tourism industry.

at noon.

【bell--】

A loud, long bell rang, breaking the silence and echoing across the square of the Juling Division's assessment point.

The rules for the preliminary rounds will be read out at 12:00, and the competition will begin promptly at 13:00.

The previously noisy crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an even louder uproar, surging like a tide.

Thousands of candidates looked up, put down their devices or notes, and focused their attention on the center of the square.

There, several hovering silver spherical drones slowly rose into the air, projecting a huge holographic light screen.

[Preliminary Selection Test Rules Announced]

A perfectly synchronized electronic synthesized voice rang out, clearly resonating throughout every corner of the square, while concise text and diagrams were simultaneously displayed on the light screen.

[The candidate card pool is limited to common and rare cards from the fifth tier of the Examination Department.]

The target of the battle is the Earthwalker AI.

Each player has a five-minute time limit, with a 15-second maximum interval between actions; no card checks or pauses allowed.

[If your base score is higher than the AI's after the time limit expires, you are considered a winner; otherwise, you are eliminated.]

[All candidates, please line up according to the last digit of your supercomputing ring number. The test will officially begin at 1:00 PM. Please be prepared.]

After the rules were read aloud, the text version was projected and remained suspended in mid-air.

There is also a QR code-like pattern; scanning it with the supercomputing ring will reveal the 'preliminary selection pool'.

"Ouch—" A commotion arose among the test takers. "NR card deck against Earthwalker?!"

"There's no time to build a deck in just one hour."

"Earthwalker, you guessed the wrong exam question."

"Quickly search for a deck and copy one!"

"Play [Aroma]! Just make sure your health is higher than the Earthwalker's for five minutes."

"Can NR cards be used to play [Fragrance]?"

The time-limited rules not only test deck building, but also test on-the-spot reaction and familiarity with card effects. Normally, the preliminary selection can filter out 90% of people, and only those who pass the preliminary selection can get the admission ticket.

"Did you understand?" Cliff whispered to Zeke beside him.

Zeke shook his head blankly: "What is an Earthwalker?"

"A dueling AI," Li Guanqi said. "Its style leans towards deep traps."

Zhaluge waved his hand impatiently: "Don't worry about it, just make do. We're the kind of people who handle deals worth two hundred million!"

"I'm going to study the deck." Li Guanqi left the noisy Black Scorpion Gang and sat down in a relatively quiet corner.

Applying for five different card pools, including common and rare cards, with a five-minute time limit for checking for cards that are unavailable... it sounds like there are quite a few restrictions.

A huge countdown appeared on the light screen: 59:58.
