My Card Beast Taming Game

"Kaori Utsunomiya, a native of Sakurajima, a junior card master, and a support character named Aomori Tamashika."

The various Xia states comprised three capitals, six prefectures, and ten islands, occupying 80% of the land in the Eastern Continent, but their connections with each other were not very close.

The distance between the North and the South is still too great, spanning almost half of the planet, and the differences in human culture brought about by the natural environment are very obvious.

Under the watchful eyes of the four, Zhou Chen spoke, "Zhou Chen, a native of Yuzhou, is a junior card master. His specialty is the Black-feathered White Ape, a damage-dealing card."

The team is configured with three damage dealers, one tank, and one support.

To be fair, this configuration is alright; at least it didn't result in all output bits being on the same level.

Gu Xiaobo, who spoke first, continued, "Everyone, the upcoming secret realm test requires our full cooperation. We will inevitably need a commander to ensure that everyone's division of labor is clear. Is there anyone willing to volunteer?"

Xing Keji immediately looked to his fellow townsman and friend.

Zhou Chen wasn't really interested in the so-called command, but when he thought about how the scores would be distributed based on the candidates' performance, he said, "I'll volunteer."

He had made a promise with Lu Qingning to be in the top three overall, so he couldn't go back on his word, could he?

"I agree!"

Xing Keji immediately followed suit, making no attempt to hide the fact that he was in cahoots with Zhou Chen.

This made Gu Xiaobo feel a little regretful, as he undoubtedly wanted to be the one in charge so that he could improve the score he was ultimately assigned.

Do either of you have any objections?

He looked at Qin Yulan and Utsunomiya Kaori, both of whom shook their heads.

Zhou Chen lived up to expectations and became the commander of this temporary team, but to be honest, how was he supposed to command it?

"Share the skills of your spirit cards. They don't need to be too specific. For example, my card has a movement ability, a single-target attack with the sky attribute, and an area-of-effect attack with the lightning attribute."

He recognized three of the four spirit cards, and just to be on the safe side, he checked them all.

Xing Keji quickly chimed in, "My Heroic Soul Armor has single-target light-type attack and group defense buff!"

Gu Xiaobo said, "My card has a ranged attack with both fire and earth, and its passive ability adds a layer of lava shell, which can be repaired after a while if it is destroyed."

The remaining spirit cards of Qin Yulan include single-target electric attacks and acceleration skills.

Another character, Kaori Utsunomiya, provides a group shield, and when the shield breaks, she recovers health equal to the shield value, plus continuous health regeneration.

What a pure support role!

Zhou Chen thought to himself that he hadn't remembered wrong. Apart from Xing Keji, who was clearly an extraterrestrial evil god spirit card, the others were all within the territory of Zhuxia. They were in the silver card collection that Lu Qingning had given him.

The strategy is also very clear.

Zhou Chen said, "The Lava Giant is the main tank, the Heroic Armor is the off-tank, the Thunder Stork and I are responsible for guerrilla DPS, and the Jade Deer is mainly responsible for healing the two tanks."

The fact that Xing Keji's spirit card can add a shield is truly an unexpected bonus.

It is perfectly capable of fulfilling the role of a secondary injury-bearing position!

Xing Keji had no objection; his Heroic Soul Armor had considerable defensive capabilities, but his attack was superior, hence he was considered a damage dealer.

After confirming their respective responsibilities, the temporary test-taker team officially set off.

They received a Log Bird in front of the outpost gate. It was a special kind of silver card that had little offensive ability but could memorize a lot of information and say some simple words.

The bird recorders carry a small tracking device to record their movements and conditions in real time, transmitting the data back to the command center at the outpost. In case of any unexpected events, the device will also issue an alert, allowing the on-site examiners to arrive promptly.

Regarding transportation, Zhou Chen and the others decided after discussion to drive only one car and head straight to the middle level where there were more Silver-tier monsters.

Xing Keji was the first to drive. Ideally, the person in charge should have driven first, but he was the only one among the five who didn't have a driver's license and was also the youngest.

This made Zhou Chen somewhat embarrassed.

"Let's move further away and abandon the monsters nearby to avoid wasting time." Zhou Chen habitually wanted to crawl into a corner.

Gu Xiaobo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Zhou Chen asked, "What's wrong? I don't want to be the only one making decisions. If you have any opinions, let's discuss them together."

So Gu Xiaobo said, "The exam time is only eight hours, and the return trip is also counted within eight hours. If you exceed the time limit, you will be penalized... If it is too far, the journey alone will waste a lot of precious time."

"I've thought about it."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Chen figured that others would find out sooner or later, so he said, "My card production rate is over 70%, and the time wasted can be made back just by producing cards."

As soon as he said this, the other four people all looked at him.

"what?"

“Card issuance rate: 70%,” Zhou Chen repeated.

This message was also transmitted to the command center of the outpost via the camera, where many teachers and senior students from the Secret Realm Academy were stationed.

The teachers who were paying special attention to his window looked at each other in bewilderment.

Card issuance rate of 70%?

Really? Why don't you just say 100%?

Chapter 135: Verifying Identity

Xing Keji opened his mouth, but didn't contradict his own brother.

Gu Xiaobo didn't have so many reservations. After chuckling awkwardly twice, he said, "Commander... are you serious?"

Many people might not immediately perceive the concept of 70% as high.

However, for adventurers who frequently venture into secret realms, a 70% probability is incredibly high!

The saying goes, "There's no harm without comparison." When everyone generally only has a 20% to 30% chance, suddenly someone appears who can make seven out of ten cards, and is very likely to make four out of five cards...

It's normal not to believe.

Qin Yulan and Kaori Utsunomiya also showed disbelief on their faces, but they still maintained their politeness.

Zhou Chen was about to say something more when his gaze suddenly fell on the distance, and he said, "Old Xing! There's a herd of swift-moving antelopes ahead!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Xing Keji quickly understood what he meant.

If you don't believe it with your words, then put it into practice!

Xing Keji quickly stepped on the gas and approached the monster, but since it was not far from the outpost, another group of examinees soon appeared from the side.

This group of people also had their eyes on the herd of swift-running antelopes leisurely grazing on the grassland.

The presence of competitors immediately made Gu Xiaobo and the others, who were originally looking forward to watching the show, nervous. Although the struggle for the monster was inevitable, they did not expect it to happen so quickly.

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate, "Old Xing, speed up! Qin Yulan, summon the cards!"

As he spoke, he completed the summoning of the Black-feathered White Ape, whose enormous form appeared in the back of the truck, causing the entire off-road vehicle to shake.

"Huh? Oh!"

Qin Yulan was a beat too slow.

Meanwhile, the off-road vehicles of the group in the distance spotted them and also began to accelerate, with someone summoning a spirit card, clearly intending to compete with them for the group of bronze-tier Gale Antelopes.

There are eight in total, and you get eight points just for killing them, so don't miss out.

Zhou Chen glanced at the recording bird, "I'm going first, Qin Yulan, remember to support me."

The hunting rules in the secret realm are that whoever touches the monster first gets to keep it. Normal secret realm adventurers will retreat when they see someone approaching the monster group first to avoid unnecessary conflict and wasting time.

—The test takers were unwilling to accept this unspoken rule.

Every extra point in the Secret Realm Exam means their final ranking could be higher than others. Of the thousands of candidates present, only a mere 600 could remain, so they couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Waaah!"

The Black-feathered White Ape suddenly spread its black wings and launched a Shadowless Strike towards the Gale Antelope, while a silver figure also sped forward from another group of examinees.

However, the opponent's speed was ultimately not as fast as that of the White Ape.

At a distance of over two hundred meters, the Black-feathered White Ape King successfully approached in less than five seconds, wielding its glowing wind and thunder blades like a tiger pouncing on a flock of sheep.

Whoosh!

Several translucent wind blades shot out at lightning speed!

Faced with the sudden attack, the swift-moving antelope immediately launched an attack, its limbs wreathed in pale blue flowing wind patterns, its hooves creating wisps of wind as it leaped at an extremely unpredictable angle, then changed direction mid-air—

Swish swish!

The wind blade pierced through its body, splitting the three-headed, one-star Gale Antelope in two.

At the same time, the competitor's spirit card arrived, heading straight for one of the scattered Gale Antelopes, transforming into a silver light and striking it fiercely.

Bang!

The sound was deafening!

"Croak!"

Qin Yulan's Zhenming Stork arrived late. It is a large-billed bird with black and yellow feathers, whose call is strange but can emit a vibrating sound wave with its own electric current.

Its speed is not slow, but it needs to keep making sounds to accelerate, and it is not a burst-type spirit card.

"Huh?"

The Black-feathered White Ape glanced at its opponent out of the corner of its eye and received another instruction from Zhou Chen—

Can't kill?

Oh well.

It wielded its wind and thunder blades to attack the other swift-running antelopes. With its endless attack fully charged, it didn't need to exert any effort and could easily kill one of them.

The difference between monsters and ordinary wild animals is that when they encounter enemies, they have no option to run away; they can only fight to the death.

In the end, out of the eight Gale Chalk, it killed six, its competitor Lingka killed one, and it "joined forces" with the Thunder Stork to kill one.

Xing Keji drove up, and Qin Yulan in the back seat looked rather unpleasant.

Not only did she arrive the latest, but she also failed to achieve any independent victories, making her performance rather poor.

But Qin Yulan felt that it wasn't her fault; it was because Zhou Chen gave the instructions too quickly, leaving her no time to react.

They should have discussed it beforehand!

"..."

Gu Xiaobo and Kaori Utsunomiya glanced at Qin Yulan, then at Zhou Chen in the passenger seat, expecting him to scold them. However, he simply got out of the car.

It was only because another group of test takers' cars were parked not far away.

The other party said, "Two of the corpses of the Gale Antelope are ours."

"Your opinion doesn't count; the recorder does."

Zhou Chen pointed to the recording bird on each other's cars.

When students have disputes over their scores, the recording bird will make a judgment, but the actual judgment is made by the faculty and staff behind the recording device.

Both birds that were recording the birds opened their mouths at the same time.

"Squad number 43, seven kill points accumulated."

"Squad number 68, one kill point accumulated."

Clearly, the Swift Gale Antelope that the Thunder Stork and the other side jointly killed was awarded to Zhou Chen and his team.

One of the other people couldn't help but curse, "Fuck!"

Zhou Chen ignored them and turned to look at Xing Keji and the others getting off the bus. "Does any of you know how to perform an autopsy?"

Xing Keji, Gu Xiaobo, and Qin Yulan all shook their heads.

Kaori Utsunomiya smiled reservedly and raised her hand, saying, "I will."

"Then you get three, and I'll get four."

Zhou Chen asked Xing Keji to help him get the dissection tools, which the school had prepared for them before they set off.

You don't need to take it with you after the dissection is completed; you can leave once the score is recorded.

"Old Zhou, you can even do dissections?"

Xing Keji eagerly helped him tie his apron and handed him his tools, asking, "Need any help?"
