Chapter 102 I Want to Refine Copper

About five minutes later, both sides had chosen their cards.

Ye Wen's deck consists of Desert Cards, Forest Cards, Human Cards, Goblin Cards, Orc Cards, Economy Cards, Iron Cards, Survival Cards, Construction Cards, and Mech Cards.

The strategic card is the [Grail of Death], an item that consumes population to summon an excessive number of undead creatures. After receiving the card, Ye Wen only glanced at it before casually setting it aside.

He seemed completely uninterested.

On the other hand, Yujiu's deck was much simpler and more straightforward.

Her ten cards are Continent Card, Succubus Card, Dragon Card, Angel Card, Elf Card, Priest Card, Magic Card, War Card, Healing Card, and Hunting Card.

The strategic card is [Destruction Spear], a long spear that can be fired after investing a certain amount of resources, making it a very direct attack skill.

It's clear that Youjiu's strategy is simple and straightforward. He chose all cards with strong combat power, and with the lucky draw of the [Destruction God Spear], he's probably going for a speedrun and will just melt Ye Wen down.

"I don't know why you chose those meaningless cards, but it seems you're not very lucky."

Yujiu revealed a confident expression: "I've already figured out how I'm going to savor your life from now on."

"Based on my experience watching the Cavaliers over the past few years, opening champagne at halftime is a very unwise move."

Ye Wen yawned: "Let's talk about victory declarations after we win."

"Hmph, then so be it."

Seeing that Ye Wen was still calm, You Jiu couldn't control her emotions. She was a very rare cat succubus, and he was just a human. Not only did he break her charm in the blink of an eye, but he was also facing her with such a listless attitude.

That's absolutely outrageous.

It's rare to see her twist her waist and cross her legs so many times; she's really throwing seductive glances at a blind man.

But it's alright.

Once she wins over his life, she can do whatever she wants and finally vent her anger.

Looking at Ye Wen's lazy yet excessively handsome dead fish face, Youjiu wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

She couldn't let such a rare item slip by.

"Alright, let the game begin."

As Youjiu swung his arm down, the surrounding scenery changed again. The map on the table kept getting bigger and bigger. When Ye Wen got used to it, he found himself on the throne of a palace, with rows of ministers below him.

There are humans, goblins, and organic Kai.

They looked at Ye Wen and shouted in unison, "Give the order, Your Majesty!"

Ye Wen leaned back on the throne, propping his face up with his hand.

"Oh, so that's how you play it."

"Indeed, in terms of immersion alone, it's better than the games made by Himawari. But that's probably because she used to treat me like an ordinary person and made compromises."

"Now I can play advanced mode with Himegaku-zō."

"Alright, let me think, what order should I give first? — Oh right, let's do it this way."

So, at this moment, in the main hall, facing his ministers, Ye Wen issued his first order as king.

He said, "I want to smelt copper."

Even in hell, this desolate place is deathly silent, and that is where Nangong Chiyue was born.

"I remember that I was born in a swamp, filled with muddy blood, where fish could not swim, birds could not fly, and there were bones and fragments of souls everywhere."

"It is a truly barren land."

"But----"

Nangong Meiyue looked up at the vast complex of buildings before her, constructed from countless steel structures that resembled a military factory, her gaze growing increasingly cold.

"Can anyone tell me what this is?"

"Meow (It's obvious that after you left, someone couldn't wait to build this factory where you were born. I can smell something rather ominous in it, meow)."

Flanda leaped onto Nangong Chiyue's suitcase, licking her paws: "Meow (But how long has it been since you came back to see me? I only just found out you've been transformed like this, that's really outrageous meow)."

Nangong Chiyue lowered her eyes: "It's not a place where I have fond memories, so why would I come back?"

"I'm already lucky I can remember this location."

This is a lie.

In fact, Nangong Chiyue knew this coordinate from hell better than anyone else; it was the starting point she could never forget.

It is also the end.

"Although I don't know who did it, I can no longer turn a blind eye."

She opened her suitcase and enveloped herself in a huge shadow, achieving a near-invisibility effect. Of course, Nangong Chiyue didn't forget Frenda and wrapped her up in as well.

The half-human, half-cat entered the factory. To Nangong Chiyue's surprise, there were no security guards inside. No, let alone security guards, she didn't even see a single employee. The entire factory was as if it were empty.

but----

In the shadows, Nangong Meiyue crouched down, looked at some kind of filthy mark in the corner, and nodded.

This aura, this feeling, it's definitely right.

The strange and blasphemous angels that attacked her were born from this place.

Nangong Chiyue could see the traces of those flowing movements, which disgusted her, and what disgusted her even more was that...

Why here?

Why do monsters that shouldn't exist appear in the place where they were born?

Nangong Chiyue turned her head and looked into the depths of the factory.

Perhaps the answer you seek can be found in that core area.

There's hardly anyone guarding this run-down place, so I might as well just use my inner strength and travel at full speed—meow!

Don't misunderstand, it wasn't Nangong Chiyue who suddenly meowed, but rather Frenda at his feet who suddenly bristled and hissed, transforming into a spiny dragon form, and the alarm sound it emitted drowned out Nangong Chiyue's thoughts.

"Meow (Stop spacing out, Little Thirteen, there's an enemy, meow!)!"

Almost at the same moment the cat appeared, a gray figure broke through the layers of obstacles and accurately and quickly locked onto the lurking Nangong Chiyue.

"roar!"

A low growl sounded, and the gray figure was like a bomb, instantly igniting everything around it upon contact. Under the surging, scorching air, Nangong Chiyue slid to the wall in a somewhat disheveled state.

"That was a close call."

She released Frenda from her embrace, the suitcase opened completely, and the shadow and the real body were synchronized, staring unblinkingly at the figure emerging from the smoke and dust.

It was a small werewolf.

Of course, her small stature is relative to the other 2.5-meter werewolves. Her 1.9-meter height is already enough to make her stand out among the monkeys, not to mention that the person opposite her is the legally petite Teacher Nangong, who is only 1.4 meters tall.

What Teacher Nangong cared about wasn't the werewolf's back, but her hair, which emerged from the dust without a trace of dirt—a soft, moonlit gray-white.

More importantly, the werewolf's dark blue eyes, which had completely shed their wildness and were now imbued with rational thinking.

She was staring intently at him.

Just from their stance, you could tell that the werewolf opposite them was incredibly strong, a world of difference from the one they encountered in the school tunnel.

What's even more terrifying is that she's not even the alpha wolf.

With each breath, a shadow clung to Nangong Chiyue's arm, its five fingers spread, and a huge, ferocious shadow claw appeared simultaneously behind her arm.

Nangong Chiyue sighed softly.

"It seems so."

"This is going to be a tough battle."
