My exclusive card pool

Chapter 135 The King of Winter
These are also two green cards.

The seller didn't specify which maze or disaster it originated from. After all, it's not a flagship store of a conglomerate or a brand-name trading card shop; they're not that professional.

Wang Xi didn't care about that.

The effect of "blue mood" is to help people maintain a calm and rational state.

"Berserk" and "Blood Rage" can easily cause internal heat.

This is good, it will help cool you down.

At least you don't have to worry about losing your mind and ruining yourself.

A brute may be strong, but his life is short.

Wang Xi is determined to live a long life.

As for the effect of "delayed gratification," it allows you to store up some energy in advance and use it at a crucial moment...

Hey, that's brilliant.

As for what makes it so clever, Wang Xi is rather naive and doesn't quite understand.

He certainly won't use it for anything useful.

An unorthodox playstyle used in combat.

After the effects of "Berserk" and "Blood Rage" end, you will enter a period of weakness. You can fill this gap by using the stamina stored by "Delayed Satisfaction".

While it may not completely make up for this deficiency, it can at least greatly alleviate the embarrassing situation of being at the mercy of others.

These two cards aren't expensive.

The market price for a green card is fairly standard.

The former is 26, and the latter is 25.

Adding to the order, the total consumption was 51 credits.

Wang Xi glanced at the balance in his personal account, which was just over 90 yuan.

Finish these.

He threw all seven junk green cards he had drawn at Caius to be crushed, earning 350 experience points.

Energy: 1365

Experience: 1169

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xi drew three dark green cards from the deck: "Frozen Injury," "Frost Breath," and "Ice Wall," thinking to himself:

'Caius, synthesize.'

In a flash, the three cards disappeared from my hand.

The narrow rift in his mind opened slightly, drawing in the three dark green orbs of light. Within the gray mist, the orbs intertwined and finally merged into one.

hum-

Blue light shone forth.

"Northern Shaman (Skill Card/Blue 1-Star)"

"Just one more blue card needed." Wang Xi smiled as he held the new card. "And they're all ice attribute."

He removed "Snow King" and "Ice Mirror" and issued the synthesis command again.

The newly crafted wild card, barely warmed by his touch, vanished from his hand once more. Within the cracks of his mind, three orbs of blue light converged in the gray mist, their colors deepening in intensity.

A brand new Deep Blue Card was thus created:
"King of Winter (Skill Card)"

"Quality: Dark Blue One Star (Upgradeable · 183/500)"

"The aloof male wizard learned the secrets of the Ice Mirror from his teacher, the Ice Queen, but he could never understand the true meaning of magic."

He descended the snow-capped mountains and encountered shamans dancing and singing around a campfire in the northern border. When he condensed the shamans' songs into ice crystals, he finally understood—the coldest ice needs the warmest heart to protect it.

"Ah, thank you, kind shamans."

From that day forward, the aurora borealis crowned him, the wind and snow sang for him, and he became the King of Winter.

"Upon use, you will gain control of the power of winter. This includes the chilling blizzard, the echoing ice dome, and the touch of eternal freeze. Each use will continuously consume mana and requires a very high affinity for the ice element."

Holding the nearly complete Deep Blue Card, Wang Xi felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's such a heartwarming fairy tale."

He raised his hand to activate it, and a deep blue light shone forth, covering his body and making his outline slightly brighter.

"This is the birth of the King of Winter!"

Wang Xi felt the continuous flow of ice elements rushing towards him, and the cold power within his body began to stir.

It seemed that he could freeze ten Witcher Colins into ice sculptures with a wave of his hand if he wanted to.

This card's enhancement to him is unprecedentedly powerful.

Take a closer look at the new changes.

Similar to "King of Winter" and "Blood Orchid Elegy", it integrates and optimizes the old cards that have been synthesized several times before, turning them into three main abilities.

"Frosty Breath" is no longer limited to ice blades and ice arrows; it can condense ice and launch long-range attacks with every move, and even breathe cold air like an ice dragon.

The idea that spitting can kill is no longer an exaggeration.

"Ice Dome Echo" combines defensive abilities such as ice armor, ice mirror, and ice wall, providing excellent resistance to both physical and magical attacks.

They can even trap enemies in ice prisons.

"Eternal Touch" is an optimized iteration based on the original Frostbeak. It retains the terrifying penetrating power and ice spike explosion characteristics, but no longer needs to be released in the form of a spiral lance.

At the same time, it can also temporarily stop the deterioration of internal and external injuries with frost, which is quite powerful.

...

...

About two hours later.

Around three or four in the afternoon.

The two wild cards that Wang Xi ordered have arrived.

It was still that same deliverywoman, Ning Meng, whose small branches bore abundant fruit.

As soon as the door opened.

The girl's previously calm expression changed slightly.

She looked up, carefully examining the black-haired young man at the door, remaining silent for a full three seconds before speaking softly:
"You're getting stronger again."

"Huh?" Wang Xi was taken aback.

He hadn't expected the girl's first words to be this. Then he realized that her perception was incredibly sharp.

Ning Meng noticed the changes in him as soon as she synthesized and activated "King of Winter".

Why does Miss Ning Meng say that?

Wang Xi leaned against the door frame and asked tentatively.

"Cold." The girl frowned slightly. "I can feel a strange chill emanating from you, it's not very comfortable."

Having said that, she said no more.

He then reached out and handed over the package and receipt, saying in a formulaic manner:
"Mr. Wang Xi, please sign for this."

"it is good."

After Wang Xi signed the form, Ning Meng took the receipt and turned to leave. The gradually yellowing rays of the setting sun shone through the stairwell window, illuminating the girl. She stopped just before reaching the elevator.

After a slight hesitation, he turned around and said:

"Section Chief Chu has done a lot for you."

After saying that, he seemed to realize he had been meddling in other people's business, and turned back with a stern face.

Wang Xi, who was about to close the door and go inside, was a little stunned.

Section Chief Chu?
It's most likely Chu Nai.

She was actually the section chief of the Overlooking Bureau!

Although Wang Xi had guessed that Xiao Qingmei held a high position in the Bureau of Overlooking, he hadn't expected her to be this high.

He quickly regained his senses and asked the girl again:
"Miss Ning Meng, could you please tell me more?"

Ding.

Just then, the elevator arrived and the doors opened.

"Ghost Grid"

Ning Meng didn't turn her head, said a name, and stepped into the elevator.

Wang Xi remained lost in thought until the elevator doors closed.

Ghost Grid...

Of course, he still remembered that two months ago, when he had just joined Cupid Housekeeping, he was assigned by Lin Zhifeng to deliver a batch of disaster relief materials, and was attacked halfway there.

The high-risk fugitive "Black Mamba" Park Hong, who was lying in wait for him, was a member of "Ghost Grid".

'Is this why Chu Nai took action against the "Ghost Grid"?'

Wang Xi quickly figured this out and was surprised.

At the same time, he recalled eavesdropping on Chu Nai and Yu Zizi's phone conversation at the Ark Carnival yesterday.

'Tomorrow's joint operation, could it be a raid on "Ghost Grid"...?'

With this in mind, Wang Xi became even more determined to go. After all, he had a grudge against the "Ghost Grid."

...

...

Return to the living room.

Wang Xi conjured a half-inch-long ice blade from his fingertips and used it to open the package.

Open the wooden box lid, and inside lie two plastic-sealed wild cards.

— "Blue Mood" and "Delayed Gratification"

After checking and confirming that everything is correct.

Wang Xi took the two green cards and then took out "Berserk," "Blood Rage," "Bloodstained Glory," and "Extreme Cold Bloodline."

I secretly said:

'Caius, synthesize.'

All six green cards in my possession disappeared at once.

In the gray fog of the gaps in my mind, six green balls spun rapidly, finally embracing each other.

hum-

"Bloodthirsty Maniac (Skill Card)"

"Quality: Dark Green Two-Star (Upgradeable)"

"A war machine forged from ice and blood. He steps into rage with a clear mind, every drop of boiling blood burning precisely... Violence is the indulgence of calculation, slaughter is an elegant aesthetic, and he stands at the end of the line of corpses, waiting for the next meticulously planned carnival."

"After use, you will gain resistance to freezing and the ability to unleash a blood-soaked rage. Your physical functions will be greatly enhanced, and you will be able to maintain your rationality at all times. The more blood you bleed or the more severe the injury, the greater the boost will be. Each use will continuously consume a large amount of stamina, and you will be slightly weak afterward."

"Strong!"

Wang Xi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This synthesis was his most "extravagant" gamble to date, costing a total of six green cards.

He also deliberately mixed in two green cards he had found in "Hat Hole," which seemed ordinary but cleverly made up for the key flaw.

The final "Bloodthirsty Berserker," though a dark green quality card, is absolutely top-tier. Its power is enough to make many blue cards pale in comparison!

A buzzing sound.

Wang Xi appointed him without hesitation.

There were no obvious changes on his body. After all, "Bloodthirsty Maniac" is not a passive skill. He needs to actively release it to enter the "Bloodthirsty Fury" state.

It's not convenient to try it out right now.

Why are you getting so angry at home for no reason?

With the deck crafting and construction finally finished, Wang Xi leaned back on the sofa and, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, did one last thing.

'Caus, upgrade the Breathing Technique.'

Now that he had accumulated over a thousand experience points, he decided to upgrade his cultivation technique cards as well.

"600 experience points consumed (569 remaining)"

"The card has been upgraded!"

"Moonlight Breathing Technique (Technique Card/Blue Four-Star/Premium)"

The Zhang Lizhi system skill card has finally been fully upgraded.

Wang Xi felt that his physical strength and the upper limit of his magic power had been greatly improved at the same time.

The information feed then pops up:
Please choose one of the following three enhancements.

"Option 1 - Moonlit Werewolf: Under the moonlight, you will receive a 15% overall increase in physical strength."

"Option 2 - Moon Breathing: Performing breathing exercises under the moonlight can quickly heal internal and external injuries."

"Option 3 - Moonlight Dance: Within the area covered by moonlight, you can briefly stay airborne and take emergency shelter."

Wang Xi looked at the three marks, thought for a moment, and decided to choose the second one, "Breath of the Moon".

There's no other reason; options one and three are both very strong, but their limitations are too great. Option two, as an extremely rare treatment method, is comparatively more valuable.

A buzzing sound.

A fourth imprint appeared in Wang Xi's mind—a wolf's head with its eyes closed and breathing heavily.

It's finished again!

His face lit up with joy as he examined himself—

"Wang Xi (5-star/Hero)"

The template has been upgraded to a higher level.

It is now a silver-framed five-star item.

'Is he even stronger than the captain of the Valley City Defense Force...?'

Wang Xi said secretly.
