Pokémon, but cultural invasion

"Auto Chess, as the name suggests, is a game in which the pieces fight automatically. Once the battle begins, the player cannot intervene."

The pickpocket cat on the chessboard looked around, licking its paws.

The bells, a symbol of battle, rang out in succession. Facing two wild monsters, Oddish, Pickpocket Cat easily took on both of them.

Gray and blue magic orbs exploded.

Izumi explained, "The first three battles in the game are against wild monsters, and you can get loot by defeating them."

"The gray orb could be a gold coin or a chess piece, while the blue one could be an item."

He picked up the blue orb, and a gleaming greatsword flew towards the lower left corner.

"What we can do is make our team stronger by buying pieces, distributing equipment, and building synergies to achieve final victory."

Battle 1-2 is over, battle 1-3 begins.

Five cards popped up from the black frame at the bottom of the screen—three Charmanders, one Turtwig, and one Mudkip.

"The deck refreshes every turn, or you can manually refresh it by spending 2 gold."

“We buy the pieces we want from them. There are five prices for each piece, from one to five, with the more expensive pieces being the stronger.”

"The probability of each piece appearing changes with the level. For example, we are currently at level 1, the probability of a one-cost piece is 75%, and the probability of a two-cost piece is 25%."

“The mascot gains a fixed amount of experience each round, and can also level up by purchasing experience. Your level represents how many pieces you can play.”

Quanshu said methodically, "Of course, all of the above, whether it's refreshing, upgrading, or buying chess pieces, requires gold coins."

"Gold coins are obtained from monster drops, winning battles with other players, and fixed income and interest each round."

"For every ten gold coins stored, one more will be gained in the second round, up to a maximum of five."

With a slow, deliberate, and meticulous explanation, the audience gradually understood how to play the game through battling wild monsters.

"I see, I understand."

"What do you know, you upstairs?"

"Not bad, it looks like a cruel game."

Chapter 192 Waiting for a Brother Who Takes Full Responsibility

"Note that the chess pieces have star ratings."

Quanshu bought the three little fire dragons from the deck, and they turned into white light and merged as soon as they landed.

After a pleasant, crisp synthesized sound effect, a majestic fire dinosaur appears on the chessboard.

"Collect three Charmanders to upgrade their star level, and the Charmander will evolve into Charmeleon."

"To evolve into a Charizard, you need to gather three Charmeleons, which means nine baby Charmanders."

"Upgrading a piece significantly enhances its combat power; a three-star upgrade for a four- or five-cost piece is a qualitative leap."

"This is also the significance of refreshing the deck."

Familiar evolutionary elements appeared on the chessboard, and the viewers in the live chat, who had been racking their brains, became active.

"After collecting nine evolutions, I, an unlucky person, have a bad feeling."

"It's definitely a game of luck."

"It was mentioned earlier that the level affects the probability of a piece appearing, so to get a three-star piece, you need to stay at an appropriate level?"

Izumi smiled and placed the Fire-spotted Cats she had obtained from levels 1-4 onto the chessboard.

"Besides star level, synergy also affects the combat power of chess pieces."

When Charmander and Litten are both present, the Fire attribute bond is triggered, and flames ignite on their bodies, with sparks scattering.

The affinity bar on the left side of the screen displays [Fire Attribute: 2].

Quanshu opened the bond effect, allowing the audience to see it in detail.

[Your fire-type chess piece gains 20 physical attack, magic power, and 100 health, and enters the "burning" state after eight seconds of combat, dealing an additional 10% true damage.]

"The attributes and number of bonds are related. For example, the fire element 2468 can unlock up to 10 fire element colored bonds."

"Unfortunately, there are only eight fire-type chess pieces, but we can use the 'job change' emblem to give other spirits the fire attribute."

"This brings us to the equipment system."

Quanshu's explanations were logically coherent and easy to understand, attracting many viewers who were confused about the game's visuals to his live stream.

"All the individual pieces dropped by monsters can be combined in any way. For example, you can combine two Greatswords to increase physical attack."

Quanshu dragged two pieces of equipment and placed them on the same chess piece.

The two greatswords disappeared, and the [Elegant Headband] appeared.

[Elegant Headband: 60 Physical Attack, 10% Increased Damage]

"A chess piece can carry a maximum of three pieces of equipment. The right equipment can bring out the potential of the chess piece."

"The little dragon belongs to the [physical marksman] class, and its damage output relies on basic attacks, so physical equipment is suitable for it."

As he spoke, Izumi Tree combined the Recurve Bow and the Staff to create a Metronome.

[Metronome: 10 Ability Power, 10% Attack Speed, and 4% Attack Speed ​​after each attack.]

"I completely understand now. Gacha, equipment, bonds—it's an interesting game."

"It's so complicated, but so interesting."

"I couldn't understand what Qishu was muttering for a long time, but I learned it in a minute here. No wonder he is a game creator, his understanding is so thorough."

As the three rounds of monster battles ended and the game entered stage 2-1, three blue squares popped up and filled the entire screen.

Quanshu raised his voice: "Be careful, this is the Hextech system, a crucial part of the game's randomness."

"In a game, Hextech items will spawn in fixed rounds for players to choose from. There are three tiers of Hextech items: silver, gold, and colored."

"The first Hextech Gunblade in this game is colored?"

[Worth Waiting For II: Gain a random 2-cost unit. At the start of each round, you will receive a 1-star version of that unit, continuing until the end of the game.]

[Smallest Giant+: Gain 2 Mascot Health and 1 Gold after each player battle round, instantly gaining 15 Gold.]

[Ring of Fire: Obtain a fire-attribute emblem, Fireball Rat, and Spy Cloak.]

Izumi pretended to hesitate, allowing the audience to carefully examine the effects of Hextech.

Then the smallest giant was selected.

Quickly sell off the other pieces on the board, leaving only the original pickpocket cat.

"What is the streamer doing? Selling the Charizard?"

"Being able to earn ten yuan in interest is not a loss."

"Poor Charmeleon, a pearl cast before swine."

Izumi placed the two-cost Foxy that had been dropped by the wild monsters and the three-cost Umbreon from her deck onto the board.

Three Dark-type Pokémon trigger a bond.

[Evil (3/5/7): Offers a treasure chest that unlocks after you win a player-versus-player match. The longer the interval between wins, the greater the reward.]

"Additional gold coins can also be obtained through consecutive wins and losses; the gold coins earned for winning streaks and losing streaks are related to the number of matches played."

"The 'evil' attribute is a fun synergy, suitable for a losing streak strategy."

Quanshu remained calm, observing the situation at the other houses outside and adjusting his position accordingly.

"My palms are already sweating just listening to the description. Won't it be incredibly exciting at the end?"

"Are the rewards random as well?"

"Our first opponent is Kiju."

Full of confidence, she chose the "Small but Deadly" Hextech Gnar and spent money to level it up to 4.

Four against three, the advantage is in my hands.

The combination of Firecat, Charmeleon, Chespin, and Farfetch'd forms a synergy of 2 Fire, 2 Fighters, and 2 Swordsmen, which is enough to make her dominate in the early game.

The Litten's elbow strike and Charmeleon's fireball caused Izuki's three Dark-type Pokémon to suffer greatly, almost being defeated in a crushing defeat.

"The spring tree is easily defeated."

Qishu watched as the cannonball fired by his mascot struck the purple Ditto, severely damaging Izumi's health by five drops, and laughed happily.

"Damn it, Qishu's lineup is really strong."

"The streamer's chess pieces are all so small, yet they run so fast."

"Am I the only one who discovered that Izumi's Ditto is also small?"

Qishu meticulously studied the game mechanics and various synergy effects, and devised an invincible tactic.

In the early game, when you have a winning streak and the game is weak in the mid-game, you can take advantage of the high health to consume the losing streak bonus of the [Evil] attribute. In the late game, you can rush to level 9 and go all in to get the big synergy and high quality.

At this moment, in Qishu's little mind, there was no doubt that she was a genius.

"Losing a battle round will result in damage, and the player will be eliminated when the mascot's health reaches zero."

"But because we have the smallest giant, we can heal every round."

Quanshu concentrated their positions, attempting a series of well-timed losses.

Over the next five rounds, the audience in the main room witnessed him being brutally beaten by various lineups.

Lulina, a water-type character, ripples on the water and periodically heals herself and increases her attack speed.

At the start of the battle, Xiaojuer immediately jumps to the back row to attack the [Ghost] type Pokémon.

Xiaoxia's army of [Poison] continuously deals damage and grows stronger over time.

And the [Steel] attribute legion, which is both durable and powerful, and whose attributes increase with each victory.

Izumi, caught in five waves, was in a terrible state and entered the round of wild monsters, leaning on her cane.

"That's terrible, we didn't win a single round."

"Even with a losing streak, Quanshu's earnings are at least 25 yuan more than other streamers."

"Fifteen of them were given by the [Smallest Giant], what a huge loss."

"Speaking of which, why doesn't Quanshu upgrade his account when he has sixty coins? He could earn at most fifty coins in interest..."

Quanshu smiled and said, "Greedy viewers can take a gamble like I did."

After one round of battles with the neutral monsters, the second Hextech spawns.

[Upgrade! You will receive an extra 3 experience points when you purchase experience points.]

The comments section erupted in uproar.

"Incredible! He can use 4 yuan as if it were 7 yuan. No wonder he saves money."

"I saw a gambler."

"How much more economic will this generate?"

Qishu, who was frequently observing his opponent, was taken aback when he saw his Hextech combo and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Chapter 193 The Moment of Suppression Explodes

The losing streak continues.

The audience only saw Izumi doing two things—leveling up and using prostitute cards.

The three-cost Pomeranian and the four-cost Absol joined the team after the Stage 3 draft.

At this point, all five evil attribute pieces have been collected, except for the five-cost card Solomon.

The repeated defeats in battle were terrifying.

Seven consecutive losses, eight consecutive losses, nine consecutive losses...

When Izumi suffered a ten-game losing streak, he entered the monster round with 39 HP.
