Chapter Ninety-Eight: GWENT and the Fly Demon (5000 words)
The audience was silent, although most of the audience had seen that something was wrong, but they didn't expect Yang Hao to be able to defeat the enemy with one blow.
Thinking of the previous scene, the audience immediately understood that Yang Hao was playing with his opponent.
However, everyone knows that Li Yingjie took the initiative to stir up trouble, so he did not show disgust at it.
The bloody scene didn't last long, and Li Yingjie quickly lost his life in blood loss.
The game is over, Yang Hao wins!
At the end of a farce, Yang Hao lost the mind to watch the game, walked out of the equipment quickly, and left with Xiaoxue.
Li Yingjie lost his soul and walked out of the equipment with vague steps.
Several of his fox friends immediately went to help, but he pushed them away.
Having lost such a big person, Li Yingjie can't even take care of Zhao Jingyi now, he just wants to be quiet.
Zhao Jingyi got rid of Li Yingjie's kraft candy, was in a good mood, and wanted to take her sister to a big dinner.
"Sister, you still haven't chased Brother Hao, you still have a chance, don't give up!"
Xiao Mengmei pushed Zhao Jingyi's back and encouraged:
"Sister, don't admit defeat, with me, I will definitely help you defeat Sister Xiaoxue."
"What are you talking about, do you still eat a big meal?"
Zhao Jingyi was inexplicably a little flustered and changed the topic.
"I want to eat a big meal, and my brother-in-law has to grab it."
Xiao Mengmei crossed her hands on her hips and pointed at her sister, slightly domineering.
"You! Say it again! ”
Zhao Jingyi couldn't maintain her calm anymore, and grabbed the little cute girl to tickle her flesh.
I don't know how many male classmates have attracted the attention of the two sisters when they are playing, and all the gentlemen are fascinated.
"Hahaha..."
The little cute girl let out a silver bell-like laugh and kept begging for mercy, but the little abacus in her heart played louder.
…
After Yang Hao and Xiaoxue left the venue, they rented a shared bicycle and visited the campus, which was very comfortable.
Before I knew it, the sun was setting, and the red sunset sprinkled most of the sky, which was intoxicating.
After eating a sweet dinner, Yang Hao sent Xiaoxue back and set out on the way home alone.
Maybe it's because the sunset is really intoxicating, Yang Hao's face is flushed and excited, and he suddenly runs wildly, like a second fool.
Everyone should be considerate of the abnormal behavior of a senior single dog when he takes off the single, and the same is true for you.
Returning to the dormitory was naturally a torture, Yang Hao kept silent, either avoiding talking about it, or vaguely fooling the past.
Everyone felt bored, so they stopped asking questions and prepared to enter the game.
…
Yang Hao opened his eyes, the familiar bed, the familiar ceiling, and he was about to say goodbye.
Wait, it seems that there is someone, is it Lillian again.
Yang Hao hurriedly sat up, and the two little loli stood at the end of the bed.
"Ruby Ruby, big brother is awake."
"Erin Erin, get moving."
What action, Yang Hao suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Ruby Ruby, big brother sleeps with a stick."
It is naturally impossible for Yang Hao to carry a stick when he sleeps, so everyone knows it, and it is good to see through it.
"Erin Irene, don't think about it so much, hurry up and do it."
I saw Erin lift Yang Hao's underwear (clothes worn in armor) and was about to climb onto Yang Hao's bed.
Ruby grabbed a corner of the quilt and made a gesture to lift it.
Yang Hao: "..."Nima, so exciting early in the morning!"
"Stop!" Yang Hao restrained the little Lori who broke out of the souls of the two maids one by one, and said sternly: "You two! Wait for me at the door! ”
After the two little loli went out, Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, he somewhat understood the reason for the corruption of the nobles.
"Bump" Erin and Ruby walked out the door with different expressions and closed the door.
"Ruby Ruby, what to do? The big brother seems to be angry. ”
Erin was a little aggrieved, uneasy in her heart, and asked scaredly.
"Erin Irene, don't worry, the big brother is not angry, he scared us."
Ruby is still aloof, and after her personality changes, her ability to see the truth of things has become stronger and stronger.
Erin has absolute trust in Ruby, and when she says this, the anxiety in her heart disappears and she smiles again.
"Squeak" Yang Hao walked out of the room neatly equipped, looked at the two little loli's heads for a while, and regretted his previous decision a little, and said, "Let's have breakfast." ”
If you want to travel to the city, you have to explore the past step by step on your own.
Yang Hao's destination is the largest city in the south of the Stormwind Kingdom, Craigie City, located on the other side of the Black Forest, a super city with a population of millions.
The strong are like forests, but they also hide filth and dirt, and the skin-peeling cultists who wandered to Baishi Town came from there.
Originally, it only took 3 days to reach the main road from Chitie Town, but now that Chitie Town has fallen, you need to take a long detour, and there is still a section of road that needs to be passed through the Black Forest.
The road ahead is dangerous, Yang Hao also has to take care of two oil bottles, he must be cautious, and the preparation before departure is indispensable.
He first went to the mercenary guild's store to buy two large travel backpacks (20 slots), carried one for himself, and put one on the black bean.
The family sharing warehouse will lose its utility due to the distance, and it will exceed the maximum sharing range in about one day, so all the materials must be prepared.
After scanning the goods through various channels, Yang Hao went to visit Augustus again, buying some witchcraft potions, and at the same time wanting to buy some good things from the tsundere old man.
Sure enough, after some soft grinding and hard foaming, he got a lot of good things from Augusta, some witchcraft potions that Yang Hao had never seen.
Of course, it's not free, so Yang Hao has done a good job.
"Wait Geralt, don't go yet, Master Ben has a gift for you."
Augustus called out to Yang Hao, who was about to leave, and took out a dusty box road.
"Haha, master, you are too polite, what is it?"
Yang Hao was polite, and took the box very honestly, ignoring the dust on it at all.
Yang Hao: "..."It seems that what kind of book is it, could it be witchcraft?" I'm looking forward to it.
Wipe off the dust, and three words appear on the box - Gwent cards.
Yang Hao was confused, what is this, he shook the box without giving up, and there was a sound similar to the collision between cards and boxes.
Augustus didn't notice Yang Hao's dissatisfaction at all, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said nostalgically:
"I think that Master Ben was a master of playing Gwent cards back then, and it was a wonderful time to beat the existence of invincible opponents in the school.
This deck is just a new glove card, but it's all high-end items that have been treated with witchcraft, so I'll give it to you. ”
With that, he went back to the house and closed the door.
Yang Hao stayed outside the door, looking at the Gwent card in his hand and was depressed for a while, what is the use of this thing.
Forget it, after all, it's related to witchcraft, so let's keep it for now.
Casually put the Gwent brand into his travel bag, Yang Hao set off to the north gate to meet the two little Lori.
….
At the edge of the Black Forest, tall trees are rare, but low shrubs and grasses cover the ground. There is no such thing as a road.
The dense grass and dark environment gave birth to many different species of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and most of them were hostile to Yang Hao and his uninvited guests.
As a big meat shield, Volibel fully understood the intention of the leader and took the initiative to take on the important task of opening the way.
Yang Hao led the black bean to follow closely, and the two little loli sat on the black bean one after the other.
It's more than 20 kilometres from the nearest town, and they're in a veritable danger zone.
Theoretically, they could encounter any kind of monster, such as dragons.
The family warehouses were completely depleted, they lost their rear supplies.
After walking for a day, Yang Hao encountered no less than ten attacks, mostly beasts in the forest, but there were also ugly and terrifying dark creatures.
At this time, it was getting late, and Yang Hao decided to find a suitable camping spot as soon as possible.
Tonight is the first night of their trip, and the first test of their journey, and it must be treated with caution.
While in White Rock, the player never leaves the town at night.
Because even if the player has a light source such as a torch, their vision at night is extremely limited, and most of the monsters are not affected by this, and some will even be enhanced.
Except for a few special existences, the monsters in "The Wizarding World" will generally never be hard when they can sneak attack.
And once the monster sneak attack is successful, it is often the end of being killed in seconds or remnants of blood. (When sneak attacking, it will attack parts that are not easily attacked in battle, have no armor protection, or are prone to inflict negative effects.) )
In addition, the strength of monsters will be significantly strengthened at night, and they will appear in groups, and the experience and drops that can be obtained after killing will be greatly reduced, so players will generally practice skills in the town at night, do business and other daily activities.
Soon Yang Hao found a good campsite, which was a small dirt slope about 5 meters high.
The environment of the forest is very humid, the humidity in the higher places is slightly less, and the terrain will create favorable conditions for the possible battle.
Erin and Ruby had long since lost the excitement they had when they first set out, and they now felt that the outside world was nothing but grass and grass, and disgusting bugs, which was terrible.
Yang Hao asked the two for their opinions during the period, hoping that they would retreat from the difficulties, but Ruby once again stubbornly rejected Yang Hao.
and "threatened" Yang Hao that if he sent them back, he would run away from home for at least two days.
Yang Hao was cleaning up the weeds near the camp at this time, Volibel had already tossed in advance, and all the poisons in the grass were alarmed and fled, so Yang Hao was not afraid that there would be anything strange, so he suddenly jumped out and bit himself.
Erin and Ruby are not pampered eldest ladies, and while Yang Hao was busy weeding, the two Loli put down the simple travel tent that Black Beans were carrying.
Ruby is in charge of digging the pit, while Erin is in charge of untying the various knots in the tent and putting the parts ready.
They lack the strength to do some preparatory work, and even then they are tired and sweaty.
Yang Hao finished the work at hand and quickly set up the tent with the help of the two loli.
This tent is mainly prepared for the two Lori, as a player, Yang Hao does not need to sleep, he will guard all night.
Of course, campfires are indispensable for camping in the wilderness.
Although it is possible to attract powerful monsters that are not afraid of fire, Yang Hao is more afraid of darkness than monsters.
As a local tyrant in the game, Yang Hao procured materials that happened to have props to light the campfire.
Blackfin oil
Brief introduction:
Augustus used a special fish oil made from the corpses of the Blacktip People (the corpses were piled up after the Great War, and they were recycled), which was extremely flammable, and could easily burn even when the blacktip fish were smeared with damp wood.
There is little in the Black Forest, except for a lot of wood, and it is very humid both on the trees and on the ground, but with blackfin fish oil, there is no need to be afraid at all.
The sky is getting dark, the night in the Black Forest is not peaceful, the sound of insects and small animals are coming and going, in addition to being annoying, Yang Hao can't feel a trace of natural artistic conception.
The two little Loli were tired and went into the tent early to rest, Yang Hao sprinkled a circle of insect repellent powder around the tent, and sat alone by the campfire to keep vigil.
At this time, Yang Hao is either practicing swordsmanship in the practice room, or maintaining weapons, but now he can't do either thing, and he can't help but feel a little bored.
The light of the fire can only illuminate a range of 10 meters, and beyond 10 meters is a bloody forest shrouded in darkness.
Yang Hao seems to be in a small world within a radius of 10 meters, and a sense of loneliness arises spontaneously.
He suddenly remembered that the box of Gwent cards in his backpack hadn't been properly read, and what kind of medicine Augustus was selling.
Augustus had long anticipated Yang Hao's situation at this time, and one of the biggest enemies on the way to travel was loneliness, and the Gwent card was a good thing to use to relieve loneliness.
Yang Hao opened the box and saw about 20 cards.
Although Yang Hao had never touched the GWENT card, he already liked it from the outside.
First of all, the back of the card is a dark green vine pattern, which is very in line with the aesthetics of the Augustian school, simple and elegant.
And then most importantly, the front of the card is actually "live", or like a small screen playing a video.
Yang Hao could even clearly see the white mist spit out by the characters in the card in the snow, which was terrifying.
The division of the painting is full of beauty, and the effect of the activity gives life to the cards.
This is the king of the Gwent cards - the sorcery card.
The box also comes with instructions that explain the basic rules of Gwente's cards.
1. The way to determine the winner of a GWENT card is a best-of-3 game, and the player who wins 2 rounds first wins.
2. Players will randomly draw 10 cards from the deck at the beginning, and can choose 2 of them to be put back into the deck for redrawing.
Unlike regular card games, players cannot draw new cards in a small round, except for a few effect cards and group effects, and used cards cannot be used again in the next small round.
At the beginning of the second hand, both sides draw two cards, and at the beginning of the third hand, both sides draw one card.
3. Unit cards are divided into 3 categories, melee, ranged and siege. Each category occupies a horizontal row. At the end of a small game, all attack power values are added up, and the bigger team wins.
4. In a small game, both sides take turns to play cards, one at a time, until one side has no card or actively presses the spacebar to end the card, a small game ends and begins to liquidate power points.
5. One weather card will affect both sides of the same type of unit.
Combined with the above summary of the rules, it can be seen that this game is a card game similar to Tian Ji horse racing, the number of powers held by the player is limited, and how to get 2 wins in 3 rounds is the key.
It would be wise to seduce the opponent with a low-power unit with a high-value card, then discard one round and win the next two rounds by points. At the same time, using the 3 auxiliary means of weather, lord skills, and deck characteristics can trigger more choices and strategies, and the specific situation still needs to be treated by the player.
The novel rules of the game completely attracted Yang Hao, and he read the information on the cards one by one.
The set of cards that Augustus gave to Yang Hao is the basic card set in the north, except for a silver-edged one, the others are ordinary cards with copper edges. (Gold edge> silver edge> copper edge)
It's a pity that in the wilderness, no one can play with Yang Hao, otherwise he would definitely be happy to be taught to be a man.
"Hiss~"
The crackling sound of burning wood was mixed with some weird hiss, Yang Hao was keenly aware of the abnormality, and quickly put away the Gwent card and pulled out his half-hand sword.
Looking around carefully, the darkness obscured Yang Hao's vision, and he couldn't see the uninvited guests in the shadows.
As if Yang Hao's vigilance had been discovered, the other party no longer suppressed his voice, and a more obvious hiss came.
Yang Hao waited in front of the tent, but he didn't expect to encounter a monster attack on the first night, and he refreshed his cognition of the night in the wild.
The hunter in the shadows was not in a hurry to attack, and kept hissing to keep Yang Hao alert, draining his physical strength, and forming psychological pressure, waiting for the opportunity to kill with one blow.
However, Yang Hao has experienced a hundred battles, and the situation at this time can only be regarded as pediatric, and the psychological offensive is automatically immune, on the contrary, he is now a lot more stable in his heart.
Since the opponent did not immediately attack, it means that it is not sure of victory, and needs to rely on some auxiliary means to increase the probability of victory.
It was undoubtedly unfavorable for Yang Hao to consume it like this, he decided to take the initiative to attack, and in the past few minutes he had already judged the general position of the other party.
Yang Hao slowly retreated behind the fire, and kicked a few burning logs into a place in the darkness.
The sparks are splashing everywhere, and they fly like elves in the dark night, which is very beautiful.
Yang Hao didn't have time to appreciate it, and the killer in the dark revealed his true face.
The other side looked like a child's filthy being, like a fat human baby and a giant fly that drank blood.
It is more than 120 centimeters long and weighs almost 40 kilograms.
Its tongue is like a straw, up to 1 meter long, with a sharp tip.
It was lying on the trunk of an arbor, its all-black and innocent eyes staring at the tent behind Yang Hao.
The monster's targets are the two sleeping little Lori.

(Yang Hao can only see the first two skills)
Yang Hao has some understanding of the fly demon through the town library:
A symbol of the wickedness, cruelty, depravity, and corruption of the masters of hell, the flies were born from the frenzied reinvention of the archdemon Balzeb by the whipping of those who suffered in the flames of hell.
They flew out of the depths of the abyss, spreading filth and disease across the land. They prey on weak creatures and collect all the secrets they can get in exchange for food.
