This bug is amazing!

Chapter 84 Since we're already here, let's play a game of cards (4k)

"It's over."

This was borrowed from Miss Cat!

If your own things break, they break; but epic equipment belongs to someone else.

"calm!"

He shook his head.

"If you break someone's things, you have to pay for them. It's only right and proper. Let me do the math."

Based on the premium principle of top-tier products, high-quality equipment is relatively common, costing at most a few hundred thousand.

Perfect-grade equipment is extremely rare, with good ones costing tens of millions and even lower-grade ones costing several million.

"As for epic-level items, let me do the math, they're probably only worth a few hundred million."

"."

Miss Cat's kindness can never be repaid.

Forget it, we'll talk about these things later.

Just live.

Consciousness returns to the original body.

Looking at the completely destroyed Longyue City, I could only sigh with regret.

"These bastards are full of arrogance, they don't value human life, and when disaster strikes, they just tuck their tails between their legs and run away."

This was Ji Yi's first impression of the Phenomenon Management Bureau, and it was very bad.

The Special Service Section acts on orders from above, so it's difficult to judge whether their participation in this battle was right or wrong.

But Long Xianglingdou is absolutely reaping what he sowed.

His negligence and carelessness can be considered the culprit that triggered the destruction of the city, and the subsequent handling of Shimizu Takeshi can hardly be called innocent.

Ji Yi originally only wanted to kill Long Xianglingdou, avenge herself, then try to regain her body using the mask, and then leave.

It was just a minor incident of tit-for-tat, but a group of people stubbornly protected it, causing the disaster to escalate to this extent.

"Wait, we're not done with this yet."

Suppress your anger.

Ji Yi looked at the underground staircase that had suddenly appeared in front of her.

He has now returned to normal.

The permanent attribute reduction buff was removed long ago due to the monster transformation.

"Let's forget about the 16th floor."

He's fully recovered, but he's missing a teammate.

Open the panel and prepare to leave.

There's an old acquaintance at the other end of the underground staircase. I suggest you go and meet him. Don't worry, it's very safe.

"Really?"

As the eyes of data, the most basic operation is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Ji Yi had no doubts.

Step onto the stairs.

Just after Ji Yi left.

Outside Longyue City, a strange tale called "Shikiko" is chuckling.

Her face was very delicate, she looked like a porcelain doll, and her skin was a light bluish color.

"Thank you, big brother from who-knows-who!"

She wore a princess dress, carried a parasol, and walked with light steps toward Longyue City.

"Huh huh huh~"

He was humming a cheerful tune.

Then, they saw a naked young man with dark skin staggering past.

"Mom, I will be a good child."

As Ryoji walked away, muttering to himself, Shikiko tilted her head, feeling a sense of novelty.

"Hmm~"

With a pleasant, soft chirp, she continued northward.

Ji Yi walked down the steps and soon arrived at her destination.

It was a minimalist white room.

The simple decor and furniture have a modern artistic feel.

A long black table stood out prominently in the middle.

Across the table was a man whose features were indistinct; his face was not clearly visible.

He claims to be Shadow, someone you've met before.

Looking at the words in front of him, Ji Yi suddenly realized.

It turns out that Ying is the BOSS of the 16th floor. He's grown to look more and more presentable in just a few days.

Don't worry, he's too powerful to detect my presence; I don't need to hide. In fact, I rarely malfunction.

"Bullshit!"

Ji Yi seemed quite resentful about the second half of the sentence.

Don't rush to criticize him; I think we can make a quick buck off him.

Ji Yi did not respond.

He went straight to the seat opposite Ying and sat down.

"Is this environment too unfamiliar?"

Ying suddenly spoke, and then snapped her fingers with a click: "How about this?"

The scene changed, becoming a somewhat familiar room.

This was the place where he first played cards with Ying.

Apart from the fact that the image of the opposite figure became a little clearer, the scene was almost the same.

"Well, did you remember me?"

Ji Yi: "."

"Please, give me some reaction. Aren't you even a little bit surprised to see me?"

Ji Yi looked around at the dim surroundings and the familiar Japanese-style decor.

"Change it back."

Ying paused for a moment, then snapped her fingers, and the scene returned to normal.

"You seem to be holding a lot of resentment."

Ji Yi couldn't help but scoff upon hearing this:
"Heh, what else?"

Ying shook her head: "Whether you believe it or not, no one deliberately increased the difficulty of the dungeon to target you."

"Are you saying I'm stupid?"

“Sigh,” Ying sighed, “Apart from that time in Ghost Town, most of the time, it’s just that you’re simply unlucky.”

These are my heartfelt words, and they are all the truth.

Ji Yi: "."

So, I wasn't being targeted, but just unlucky?

Ying continued, "Perhaps you're disliked by Lady Luck, who knows?"

He paused, then added, "But considering how pitiful you are, and out of humanitarian spirit, I can give you something in return."

Ji Yi's eyes lit up, and she made a peace sign: "Legendary equipment, two pieces."

film:"."

After a while.

He cursed, "Pah! Do I owe you anything?"

"Epic level is fine too."

"They won't even give you scraps."

"Tsk."

What benefits could there be?
"Young man, all I can give you is advice."

Ji Yi: "."

Seeing Ji Yi's speechless expression, his tone became serious:
"I suggest you listen to this; it will be of great help to you."

"alright."

Ji Yi reluctantly agreed.

Seeing this, Ying finally spoke:
"To be honest, you entered the game too late, and now a major version update is about to begin. From any perspective, you will be under a lot of pressure."

Ji Yi: "Version iteration? Are we starting a paid subscription model?"

film:"."

Ignoring Ji Yi, Ying continued:

"So I suggest you don't just go into the dungeon once a week. You started late, and if you can't catch up with the top players, you'll probably have a hard time later on."

Judging from his expression, he wasn't lying at all.

"As for the new version, I can't reveal too much. I can only advise you not to be misled by appearances and to 'maintain awe'."

The two suggestions seem to contain a lot of information.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it accurately pointed out the direction.

The information revealed by such "insiders" is far more valuable than a few pieces of junk equipment.

"Okay, I've noted that down."

Ying nodded in satisfaction:

"That's right, you'll thank me in the future. Right now, all you need to do is upgrade as much as possible and become stronger."

"So, what about the evil god? You should know something about him, right?"

Ying sighed inwardly at the boy's cleverness:
"Since you've already declined the banquet, we don't need to worry about the evil god for now. It's not a bad thing to deal with it later. Alright. Enough said, let's get down to business. Since you're already here, why not play a game of cards before you leave?"

Ying chuckled and said, "If you beat me, you'll pass the 16th floor."

Three minutes later. Looking at the various character cards and skill cards in front of him.

Ji Yi felt somewhat powerless for a moment.

I've been in the dungeon for too long, and my brain feels like mush.

At least, I simply don't have the energy to thoroughly study the rules and then figure out the bugs.

"Don't look like you're suffering from kidney deficiency. This game is not hard to pick up at all. To put it simply, the core rule is to compare sizes."

Ying was surprisingly energetic, showing none of the annoyance she felt when Ji Yi kept asking her about the rules the first time.

Similar scenarios.

The two seemed to have switched places.

"Each time it's your turn to attack, you draw five playing cards. You can play them as singles, pairs, straights, etc. For cards of the same type, I must play a card of the same type that is greater than or equal to yours to successfully defend; otherwise, I will lose health points corresponding to the number of cards played."

He was facing Ying's rambling.

Ji Yi managed to remember the rules in a rough form.

Then, he tried out the tutorial a few times and found it quite interesting.

"Whether you win or lose, there will be no penalty. The only difference is whether you clear the level 15 or the level 16."

This burden is gone.

Ji Yi finally found joy in the game.

"No need to teach anymore, we can begin."

"very good."

"Warrior", "Mage", "Assassin", "Gunner".

Ji Yi looked at the four character cards and decisively chose the Warrior.

Choose the "Renwang Shield" talent skill to become immune to damage from enemy attacks using black playing cards.

A symmetrical and fair 1V1 competition has begun.

【他手中的牌分别是2、4、5、5、7。】

Looking at the text peering out from the data eye.

Ji Yi decisively played her highest card, 8.

"Tsk."

Ying clicked his tongue in disbelief. How could someone dare to fight someone who was older than him?

'Kid, you're pretty lucky. If you dare play like that again, and I defend against it, you'll be in big trouble, won't you?'

One minute later.

His current hand is J, Q, K, K, K.

[Skill cards are]

Ji Yi calmly played out his 23456, a five-in-a-row straight.

According to the rules, the defending side must play a card.

This means that Shadow's five big cards can neither defend against the attack nor prevent him from losing his five good cards.

Unfortunately, none of the skill cards in my hand are for dodging damage!
What a bad luck!

Ying was so angry that his hands were trembling.

The fair competition ended in less than five minutes.

Ji Yi, in full health, completely defeated Ying.

"The rule is best of five, let's go again!"

"it is good."

The second game started quickly.

This thief is very strong; we must not act rashly.

Choose the "Eight Trigrams Formation" talent; the red heart card can reduce damage.

Faced with Ying's aggressive and wide-ranging style of play, Ji Yi stubbornly used the Hearts card to stall for time.

Occasionally, play a few defensive counter-attacks, precisely controlling the use of cards for both offense and defense.

They also won the second game smoothly.

[Very good, we won.]

Ji Yi: "."

"oops!"

Ying was so regretful that she slapped her thigh.

He clearly had a great hand this round, and in most cases he could crush Ji Yi.

But Ji Yi seems to have X-ray vision!
All strategies were exposed in front of Ji Yi, who easily defeated them despite being weaker.

"This is outrageous. I'm going to secretly adjust his probability."

He said he wanted to adjust your gacha rates.

'You don't need to tell me, I'm not deaf.'

Ji Yi scratched his head:

"Lord Ying, could you please not say what's on your mind? It's embarrassing for me."

"Humph!"

Ying snorted coldly.

"So what if I've stated it clearly? I'm going to be transferred!"

"Ok."

Ji Yi was speechless.

The third game begins.

Still choose Warrior, but this time the talent has been changed to "Silver Lion", which reduces the damage received by 1.

"Ha! I knew you'd choose this one!"

Ying exclaimed excitedly.

We've finally caught you!

In this third match, Ji Yi lost despite her "hard work and perseverance".

[It was truly a thrilling duel, if it weren't for the acting.]

In the fourth match, Ji Yi once again narrowly lost to Ying.

This made the shadow burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! I've been longing for a worthy opponent, and you're quite good, your strength is on par with mine!"

Ji Yi simply flattered her as well:
"They say masters are lonely. Given Master Ying's card-playing skills, I can understand how you feel right now."

The shadow looks very happy:
"Not bad, you're just my type. If you weren't so bad, I'd rather not mention it. Anyway, I'll give you a reward regardless of the outcome of the fifth match, but if you win, the reward will be bigger."

This is the effect you want.

If you can fool this card dealer so well, you won't have to worry about not getting good stuff.
Fifth game.

After a thrilling and intense contest, the two sides went back and forth, attacking each other's minds, testing each other with suspicion, and employing all sorts of ingenious tactics and schemes.

Ying pushed his mental capacity to the limit, silently calculating in his mind:

'What I've thought of, he's definitely thought of too, and I can also imagine that he's thought of what I've thought of, and he can also imagine that I've thought of what he's thought of what I've thought of.'

Finally come to a conclusion.

'I was on floor 10982, and he was on floor 10981. This time, I won!'

"I choose to attack with Q!"

"I can't believe it!" Ying shouted confidently.

Ji Yi: "Yes, K."

film:"."

'Did he think one step ahead of me, or did he think one step behind? It must be a case of a fool defeating a master.'

The exhilarating card game passed quickly.

Ultimately, Yiying was defeated due to bad luck, suffering a "lightning strike" effect.

Even though Ji Yi had opened the penetrating technique and used the top-control method, she still managed to strike her opponent.

But in Ying's view, this was a match decided by a slight difference in luck, which was enough to prove that the two sides were evenly matched and had comparable strength.

Ying suddenly felt a sense of kinship.

"Very good! Ji Yi, I approve of you!"

He seemed very happy.

"I have never seen anyone better at playing cards than you. Your skills seem to have improved even more since last time."

Ji Yi smiled awkwardly: "You flatter me, you flatter me. You're too kind."

"Eh!"

Ying waved her hand dismissively.

"No need to be modest. You're a very good card player, so I've decided to give you this. It's a gift from me, not a reward for passing the level."

"Kid, you've really gotten a great deal. You know, job advancement isn't something that happens in the next game version. Otherwise, why do you see top players stuck at level 20?"

That is
Ji Yi looked at the thick book in front of her, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

Among all players.

Will he be the first to change jobs?

　There are still 4 words to write tomorrow during the day.
