My Card Beast Taming Game

The bad news is—

"Damn it! Give me something good!" He fiddled with the second White Ape card in his hand, feeling a sense of helplessness at having drawn the wrong card.

"Hey!"

Captain Changming came closer, seemingly wanting to comfort him, and patted his head with his wing.

Zhou Chen's heart gradually calmed down, as if he had received healing from Brother Chicken. "It's not a big problem. Being able to consistently clear intermediate dungeons is already a great achievement! Persistence is victory!"

He then half-fell onto Captain Changming, saying, "I can't walk anymore, Brother Chicken~ Take me back~"

It was just a joke, but Captain Changming took it seriously.

"Hey!"

It squeezed out from under Zhou Chen, circled him twice, flapped its wings and flew up, then reached out and grabbed his shoulder with its claws, much to his confusion.

"Hey? Wait a minute!"

Before he could finish speaking, Captain Changming had already grabbed him tightly and flew low towards home, avoiding the sounds of people and vehicles the entire way.

What shocked Zhou Chen the most was that Brother Chicken knew the way!

"How did you know where your home is?" Zhou Chen asked incredulously.

The only response from Captain Changming was two chuckles.

Chapter 22: Guiding Daily Activities

Is it possible to get a gold card in 100 draws?

Based on Zhou Chen's consistent understanding of games—difficult!

Especially after it turned into a super cesspool, it became even more difficult to pull out the gold card from it!

However, he vaguely remembered that the gacha pool seemed to have a hidden pity system.

As for whether it was 300 or 500 draws, Zhou Chen couldn't quite remember, since it wasn't a publicly announced setting, and he rarely managed to accumulate that many draws in the past.

It's not that I couldn't resist, it's that I got carried away and prematurely used up my reserves.

The delightful changes in the Changming Captain have led Zhou Chen to consider extending the 100-draw plan to 300 draws, in order to reach the hidden pity system and get a gold item.

Who made the Gold Card so overpowered?

If he were to draw a late-game human rights champion, Zhou Chen thought he could at least dominate the ranks of high-level... no, even top-level champions!

Although he didn't know exactly how strong a Grandmaster Card Master was, he felt that once the Gold Cards reached their full potential, they would definitely not be much weaker than a Grandmaster Card Master's Spirit Cards.

"Keep it up! Keep trying!"

Zhou Chen, who woke up early, excitedly did two push-ups, then hugged Captain Changming as usual to build their relationship, before humming a little tune and going to make breakfast.

Lu Qingning will definitely look for me during the day to prepare for next week's secret realm adventure.

It's likely that the environments of secret realms and dungeons are quite similar.

But it was still very new to Zhou Chen, since he hadn't done much in the dungeon and had only given Changming Duwei 666.

He also attached great importance to this trip to team up with Lu Qingning for a secret adventure, since he would have to go with others sooner or later, and the exam at Yuzhou Academy also had considerable requirements for teamwork skills.

After finishing breakfast, he didn't hear Lu Qingning call him for a while, so he hesitated for a moment before sending a message.

I waited for ten minutes but didn't get a reply.

Zhou Chen then went next door, knocked on the door, and whispered, "Lu Qingning?"

"Eh."

The sound came suddenly from behind.

He was startled, and turned to see Lu Qingning looking at him teasingly, her hands full of breakfast. "Young Master, you've finally figured it out? You don't need me to call you anymore?"

"That's because I got up early today."

Zhou Chen scratched his head. He was the one being helped, yet Lu Qingning always had to take the initiative to come to him. It was a bit unreasonable.

Lu Qingning rolled her eyes. "Lazy and weak!"

She gestured with her chin and handed over the breakfast in her hand, "Here, soy milk and steamed buns, two hundred yuan."

"Oh, thank you."

Even though Zhou Chen had already eaten breakfast, he still accepted it.

I always feel like I'll get scolded if I tell the truth.

Lu Qingning opened the door. "You should be free this morning, right?"

"No, I'm ready to be on call anytime." Zhou Chen was prepared to be busy all day when he came to find Lu Qingning.

These past two days traveling around with her have been quite fulfilling.

This made Zhou Chen realize that he was not naturally withdrawn, but rather that his personality and upbringing had forced him into being withdrawn.

Lu Qingning gave him a chuckle. "Do you want me to praise you? You have no sense of self-awareness when it comes to sucking up to someone. Only someone else would care about you!"

“That’s right, that’s right, Sister Lu is absolutely right.” With a goal in mind, Zhou Chen became much more proactive and jogged in to move a stool for Lu Qingning.

Lu Qingning put down her breakfast and ate casually without greeting her grandparents.

Card masters often have a much larger appetite than ordinary people. Although Lu Qingning is a girl, she is already a junior card master.

Zhou Chen started eating, but froze after taking only one bite of the xiaolongbao.

"Monster meat?"

"What do you eat if you don't eat monster meat? Don't tell me you're still eating regular meat." Lu Qingning looked at him strangely.

Card Masters' high demand for calories dictates that they must use ingredients produced in secret realms, and the higher the level, the higher the demand.

As a novice card master, Lu Qingning is no longer satisfied with eating ordinary food.

No wonder it costs two hundred.

Zhou Chen shook his head while thinking to himself, "No, I'm just curious how you can buy xiaolongbao made of monster meat outside."

"Just eat it." Lu Qingning was too lazy to explain further.

Zhou Chen nodded.

His family also has monster meat, but it's expensive and not rare.

Ordinary people can eat it but can't digest it, or rather, it's very slow to digest, so the target audience is usually card sellers.

However, on the other hand, there are many monsters in the secret realm, and very few of them are edible and delicious.

It can be fishy, ​​smelly, sour, hard, and tough; it always has several of these characteristics.

—The result of not undergoing variety improvement.

After breakfast, Lu Qingning took him to the club.

The two tacitly avoided mentioning Shen Yan, as if he didn't exist at all.

"You managed to get away with it yesterday afternoon, but you'd better work hard today," she earnestly advised.

Zhou Chen remained noncommittal; the so-called practice was essentially a coordination between the main body and the spirit card.

Being able to become a card player doesn't mean you can be a good card player.

Just as being able to walk doesn't mean being able to march in step, it's all too common to see people using the same hand or foot, or not being able to distinguish left from right, during military training.

For card masters, knowing how to maintain their own movement while skillfully manipulating the spirit cards is a fundamental subject that requires a long period of practice.

Zhou Chen is quite talented in this area, and he practiced a lot before reuniting with Lu Qingning, so he can synchronize quite well.

Lu Qingning was not satisfied, "Some people can multitask, but you can't even control the White Ape like an extension of your own arm!"

"But... but is it okay for me to do push-ups with my head tilted back and facing Lingka?" Zhou Chen gasped for breath.

Lu Qingning scolded, "If I don't push you to your limit now, are you planning to just wait to die when you encounter your limit in the secret realm?"

“You’re right!” Zhou Chen shouted through gritted teeth.

I have to shout, otherwise I won't be able to speak at all.

Lu Qingning was too brutal in her teaching methods, using all sorts of torturous training techniques. As a result, Zhou Chen was so exhausted that he lay on the ground and couldn't move after only an hour.

"You're so useless."

She squatted down beside him and poked Zhou Chen's chest and stomach hard with her index finger.

Zhou Chen silently turned his head, about to speak, when Lu Qingning forcefully pushed his head to the other side, "Trying to be a hooligan?"

Today, Lu Qingning was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and athletic shorts, so even if she squatted down, there was no way she could see anything.

"Are there any more scientific and humane training methods?" Zhou Chen felt that it was a bit too tough.

Lu Qingning sneered, "Lying down is the easiest way. Do you want to lie down?"

miss you!

Although Zhou Chen really wanted to say that, he learned his lesson and said, "That's not what I meant... At least there should be some balance, right? I can barely lift my arm now, are you planning to make me lie here until noon?"

"No, you have to trust your recovery ability," Lu Qingning said with a smile. "Rest for another ten minutes."

"twenty!"

Five minutes!

Twenty! If you reduce it any further, I'll kill myself!

"...miscellaneous fish."

Zhou Chen, the minor character, got a twenty-minute break, but Lu Qingning wasn't idle either; she started practicing with the Netherflame Lion on her own.

As a novice card master, her skill in manipulating spirit cards was immeasurably superior.

While Zhou Chen still needed to keep the White Ape in front of him, Lu Qingning was already able to manipulate the spirit cards from her side and even behind her.

She called it a trick that only novice card players could do.

Besides the Netherflame Lion, she also has other spirit cards, but she doesn't use them often.

Lu Qingning suggested that card players should specialize in one particular card and not waste too much time on other cards.

"So you're a supporter of the 'ace' theory."

Upon learning this, Zhou Chen immediately shouted, "Let's duel! You shameful ace-theorists! We, the Communist Party, will never be slaves!"

Then he was ruthlessly suppressed by Lu Qingning.

Chapter 23: The Journey to the Secret Realm (Please continue reading!!)

A busy and painful morning has passed.

noon.

The two stayed at the club for their pre-booked lunch, the ingredients of which were naturally sourced from the secret realm.

"Eating more monster meat will help with recovery."

Lu Qingning advised, "At your age, you don't need to eat any extra blood and flesh supplements. Eating more monster meat will help your body grow."

Zhou Chen paused in his act of stuffing meat into his mouth. "Uh, don't you need to take supplements?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingning knew he was taking supplements and asked, "How many did you buy?"

"without……"

"I hate it when people lie to me. How much did I buy it for?"

"ten--"

Zhou Chen kept a close eye on Lu Qingning's expression, but the latter remained expressionless, so he had no choice but to reveal the truth, "Wan."

Lu Qingning gripped her chopsticks tightly and sighed deeply, "Why didn't you ask me before you bought it?"

"I was wondering if it was even necessary to ask about this?"

Zhou Chen couldn't very well say that he was drawn to the supplement's ability to accelerate recovery, especially since he had read countless reviews and recommendations from newbies on the forum.

Are they all just online promotions from merchants?
