My Card Beast Taming Game

Hard to say.

Based on his current predictions, the White Ape King's advantage should continue to be maintained up to the Silver rank.

But whether or not one can ultimately win... seems to depend heavily on luck?

Zhou Chen didn't dwell on it too much. That night, as usual, he went to the high-level dungeon to play with the silver-tier monkeys. During the process, he leveled up to Lv.18, taking another step closer to Lv.20.

"The progress is starting to slow down."

As everyone knows, the higher the level, the more experience is required. He used to be able to level up in three or four days at most, but this time it took him almost a week.

However, it's not a big problem; there are only two levels left.

Moreover, the continuous improvement in his mental strength brought him quite tangible results, such as enhanced reaction speed and stable control, which were gradually confirmed during his participation in competitions.

Even the White Ape's attack power has slightly increased.

This means that Zhou Chen can finally unleash the full power of the White Ape.

A top-tier spirit card must be paired with excellent operation; otherwise, it's like a low-end CPU paired with a high-end graphics card—a complete waste.

Zhou Chen also felt that there was still room for improvement.

Also, today is the time for the monthly sign-in update. Yesterday he got the Spirit Item Selection Box, but it's useless until he draws a new gold card.

"What kind of rewards will I get this time, the seven-day bonus and the end-of-month bonus?" Zhou Chen rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

The new check-in interface quickly appeared before my eyes.

Seven-day reward – 'Miniature Breath of Earth'.

[Effect: Rebuilds the essence of a Bronze-tier spirit beast upon its advancement, giving it a new life.]

"Ok?"

Zhou Chen was stunned. He didn't think he had ever seen this item before when playing games.

Rebuilding the origins and creating a new life?

"I just don't understand."

He decided to wait until he got the item before studying it, and his attention then turned to the end-of-month reward, which he found was 1000 diamonds.

A reward suitable for Europeans.

The next day.

Inside the spacious stadium.

With a snarl grin, the White Ape severed half of Lingka's head from its body, its own white fur stained crimson with blood.

"Beep!"

The referee blew his whistle and announced the result of the match.

The opponent angrily threw his sun hat on the ground, yelling, "Damn it!"

You put in so much effort with your spirit cards, but you can't even touch your opponent. They can just easily finish the game with a single slash. How can you play with that kind of disparity?

"Is this really a bronze card?"

The opponent, filled with doubt, couldn't help but ask aloud.

Zhou Chen looked at him in surprise, "You think I'm a novice card master, fighting you with silver-tier spirit cards?"

opponent:"……"

I was so angry I almost made a fool of myself.

He was very glad that the competition venue was large enough that their conversation wouldn't spread too far; otherwise, it wouldn't just be Zhou Chen and the referee who thought he was a fool.

The opponent slunk away.

A chorus of cheers erupted from the stands. Zhou Chen's consistently outstanding performance attracted increasing attention, with many spectators even making a special trip to watch his match.

It's a pity he's only a trainee card artist, otherwise he might already have fans.

Competitive card games rely heavily on fan economy, much like most common sports in the past.

"Four games remaining."

Zhou Chen wasn't too concerned about his opponent's sudden illness. With the finals just around the corner, he only hoped the intensity would remain similar to his current level...

But that seems unlikely.

The previous championship seed is back in the competition. It's been five years and he still hasn't managed to condense his Qi. I really don't know whether to call him a genius or a good-for-nothing.

In any case, their strength is definitely not weak.

The list of the top 16 was quickly released, and one name caught Zhou Chen's attention.

"Pan Yi?"

He remembered that this person seemed to be a wicked fellow who used underhanded tactics to frame Xing Keji.

Born into a prominent family in Fengcheng?

Zhou Chen felt that getting involved with Pan Yi would definitely not end well, and hoped that his opponent in the next round would not be him, and even more so that he would lose to someone else.

It was evening.

"We've decided to venture into the Hungry Wolf's Lair tomorrow."

Standing in front of the steaming hot pot of clear water, Gao Liang picked up a piece of monster meat with his chopsticks, swallowed it whole, and said, "The environment of the Water Marsh Secret Realm is too bad and too dangerous."

【Hungry Wolf Secret Realm】 is a medium-sized secret realm near Maple City. It is rich in all kinds of wolf-shaped monsters. The spirit cards converted from them are slightly cheaper, but still sell well.

Shi Xiaodong's card came from the Hungry Wolf Secret Realm.

He said, "The main problem is that we can't find suitable teammates. Recruiting random people doesn't have a foundation of trust. We're used to hanging out with reliable teammates."

It's not uncommon for solo card masters to team up and challenge secret realms in this world.

After all, not everyone has a bunch of friends they can trust.

The biggest problem with recruiting lone hunters is actually the distribution of prey after leaving the secret realm, rather than the safety during the exploration process.

Economic disputes are more common than people harming each other's lives.

Zhou Chen raised his glass, "In that case, I wish you great success in your military endeavors!"

He really wanted to go with them, but the competition schedule was too tight, and he couldn't leave.

Gao Liang and Shi Xiaodong raised their glasses cheerfully. This time, they planned to venture into the central area of ​​the secret realm and try to gain rewards by hunting down a single silver-tier monster.

The following afternoon.

Zhou Chen arrived at Kuocheng, which is 100 kilometers away from Fengcheng.

The round of 16 was held here, and the opponent also happened to be from the Kuocheng Card Academy and belonged to the school team's substitute bench.

They are quite capable and have a good reputation.

Unfortunately, the opponent's spirit cards were unable to counter the White Ape King.

Those with ranged attack capabilities cannot fly, and those that can fly lack ranged attack capabilities, making it difficult for them to pose a threat to it nowadays.

Then it becomes very simple to handle.

For the White Ape King, if its opponent doesn't counter it, it's as if the opponent counters it.

Beep!

The battle was about to begin at the referee's command.

"go with!"

"twitter!"

The white ape charged forward with its sword, its explosive power making it so fast that it created a whistling wind, putting immense pressure on its opponent.

He quickly manipulated his spirit card to retreat, not daring to directly confront the White Ape King's sharp edge, leading to a rather strange situation on the field—

One ran, the other chased.

The originally intended spirit card competition has turned into a scene resembling police catching thieves.

The audience burst into laughter, but Zhou Chen didn't let his guard down. The chase was also a great test of Lingka's endurance.

The spirit card is only controlled by the card master, which does not mean that its stamina is unlimited. It is normal for its attributes to decline in all aspects due to fatigue after a long battle.

As it turns out, despite being an old monkey, the White Ape King's stamina was in no way inferior to that of its opponent, Lingka. During the long-distance raid, it seized the opportunity to quickly approach and successfully beheaded its opponent before it could realize something was wrong and switch cards!

As blood gushed forth, the gleaming blade reflected the opponent's unwilling face.

In the audience, one person squinted.

Chapter 73: They're all on our side

After the match ended.

Just as Zhou Chen was about to leave, a car blocked his way.

Let's find a place to talk.

The rear window slowly rolled down, and a seemingly amiable young man inside spoke with a smile.

Zhou Chen asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

The young man introduced himself: "My name is Pan Hao, and I am Pan Yi's older brother. My younger brother will most likely be your opponent in the next match."

Pan Yi!

Zhou Chen immediately became wary. Although he couldn't completely trust Xing Keji's words, the fact that the other party had taken the initiative to come to him might not be a good thing.

His first instinct was to refuse, "No—"

"Zhou Chen, do you think Lu Qingning will come back from summer camp for you? Give the Pan family some face and let's have a chat. It won't take you long."

Pan Hao's words made Zhou Chen frown. He looked at the bustling street, thought for a moment, opened the game panel, and then said, "Okay."

The two arrived at a coffee shop by the roadside.

As soon as he sat down, Pan Hao went straight to the point: "No matter who you face in the next match, just admit defeat."

A bank card was pushed in front of Zhou Chen's eyes.

"There's 500,000 inside."

Five hundred thousand?

He instantly recalled the text message he had received earlier: one million to bet on him losing, with five hundred thousand as a deposit.

Pan Hao didn't seem worried that he would refuse, and said with ease, "Your goal is to get into Shendu Academy, right? If that's the case, why bother competing for the Yuzhong Cup? Shendu Academy doesn't care about the results of the Yuzhong Cup."

Zhou Chen: "..."

"Give the Pan family some face. If you don't pass the exam and plan to stay in Yuzhou, we might be able to help you out."

Pan Hao continued, "The Pan family has been a prominent family in Fengcheng for over a century, and they have influence in all walks of life."

"Ah……"

Zhou Chen sighed deeply, realizing that he was indeed wasting his time.

Zhou Chen had no idea how to communicate with people who treated him like a fool. Just thinking about it made him feel exhausted, so he simply got up and left.

This nonchalant attitude immediately ignited Pan Hao's anger, and his expression suddenly turned fierce, despite his initial politeness.

"Don't be so ungrateful! Who do you think you are? You're just a lucky neighbor! A trainee card operator! Do you think we can't find out?"

"After the holiday, Lu Qingning will go to Shendu Academy. Do you think you can still have any interaction with her? Look in the mirror! Even if you were incredibly lucky and got into Shendu Academy by chance, you two are from completely different worlds! If you offend the Pan family, don't even think about continuing to live in the entire Yuzhou!"

The shouts attracted the attention of other customers, but Zhou Chen had already left the coffee shop.

Pan Hao pressed on, shouting, "You'd better think this through. I'll give you one day. I'll contact you again before the Silver Division ends tomorrow. I hope you'll be a smart person."

As they spoke, the man even tried to hand him his bank card, saying, "Take this 500,000 and think it over carefully."

Zhou Chen continued to ignore him, not even glancing at him. Unexpectedly, Pan Hao threw a bank card at him. Luckily, Zhou Chen reacted quickly and slapped it back.

"roll!"

He couldn't hold back any longer and yelled, "Think of your mother! Get the hell out of here!"

Are all the aristocratic families of the various Xia states mentally ill?
