It was late at night when I got out of the cube cabin.

But even so, Li Pu and they didn't have to wait long.

Several staff members of the association + street office soon came to Li Fan's shop.

After a series of simple but solid authentication and binding operations, two orbs of light were distributed to their respective hands.

The staff told the use method and precautions in detail, and then said goodbye and left.

"Teacher, do you mean we can go in right now?"

Li Pu held the ball of light with an expectant expression.

According to the staff, the Cube Metaverse is in another dimension, and it can be seen as a different kind of otherworld.

Players can only travel back and forth in a spirit way, and the only things they can carry back and forth are cards.

However, getting cards from the metaverse is only one of the benefits.

As testers, if they have any special experiences in the metaverse or find bugs and report them, they will be rewarded by the association when they return.

And that reward isn't just for cards.

"Come over here."

Li Fan got up and opened another secret door, revealing a bedroom.

There was only one bed in the bedroom, so Li Pu consciously lay down on the sofa.

"But we should be teleported somewhere else."

"Let's find out what is going on around first, and then find a way to meet."

After the two of them lay down, Li Fan said.

So they were driven by their minds at the same time and turned on the ball of light.

Seeing the two of them lying there as if they were asleep, Ah Yajun showed a look of envy.

A world where playing cards is respected, he also wants to go.

But there are some things that are oneself and are one's own, and if they are not, they are not.

He could only help close the door of the store and prepare to return to school.

【Jingle Bell...】

As a result, as soon as I finished cleaning up, the phone in my pocket rang.

Then after a pause, Ah Yajun realized that his mobile phone was ringing, not Li Pu's.

"Teacher?"

Seeing the caller ID, he frowned.

It's so late, what do the head teacher do when he calls his own phone.

"Hey, teacher."

"Me? I'm on Seven Star Street? ”

"What? Right back to school now? ”

"Well, someone in the association is looking for it?"

"Okay, okay."

Hanging up the phone, Ah Yajun hurriedly stopped the car and quickly returned to school.

I don't know what it is that makes the teacher urge me so tightly.

……

Unlike the Blue Star, the New World at this time is when the sun is rising.

Li Pu stood on the ground with his feet on the ground, feeling the fresh smell of earth and plants in the air.

Glancing around, the first thing he saw was ...... Li Fan.

"That's a coincidence."

Li Fan also saw him.

And it's not just them, there are some old faces from Qixing Street around.

It seems that I thought it was a random login, but it turned out to be otherwise.

It may be that Blue Star has corresponding coordinates with the metaverse, or that their batch of light beads are all at the same landing location or something.

The novelty of coming to a new place makes everyone talk.

"This place is more humble than I imagined."

"I thought there would be a medieval castle, or some kind of high-tech city full of hovercars."

"It's a bit disappointing, it's just a small town."

"Great, my thing is still there!"

"Can you not be so disgusting."

Whenever this happens, there will always be a pants removal party, first make sure that your body parts are not complete.

Although Li Pu didn't plan to take off his pants, he also felt the changes in himself.

The strength of his body seems to have been temporarily sealed.

And except for [Card Making], all other skills cannot be used.

In other words, if you talk about the body alone, you are now an ordinary person.

"Alright, let's go and explore."

"Don't forget our mission."

A king player, mobilize everyone to act quickly.

So the crowd scattered in different directions.

Li Pu didn't move around for the first time, but slowly looked at his surroundings.

It's a rather primitive and humble looking town, with outdated building materials and styles, and even a few wells to be seen, suggesting that there is no running water.

"Why, haven't you played a similar panorama virtual game?"

Li Fan couldn't help but joke when he saw Li Pu's curious look.

With Bluestar's current technology, there have also been several immersive panoramic virtual games that require a game warehouse to support operation.

There are also cubic cards, but the cards inside are fake, and you can't bring them in or out.

It is definitely not comparable to the real world created by the god in front of him.

"Oh, I forgot you just turned 18."

But before Li Pu could answer, Li Fan came to his senses.

You are not allowed to play those types of games without being 18 years old.

"It sounds like the teacher is very experienced."

Li Pu looked at Li Fan.

"Of course, let me show you how to play in this world."

Li Fan straightened his chest and walked to one of the houses.

In front of the well, there was a bald old man fetching water.

However, his physical characteristics are significantly different from those of humans, with a human in the upper body and a snake in the lower body.

"Fellow, do you want to play cards?"

Li Fan took two steps forward and said the docking code.

In those cube panorama virtual games, as long as you say this sentence to the NPC, the other party will put down everything in their hands and immediately come to play a game with the player.

"Neuropathy."

As a result, the half-snake old man gave Li Fan a blank look, and continued to make water by himself.

Li Fan: "......"

Li Pu: "You can't do it, fine, oh no, teacher." ”

"What the hell went wrong?"

Li Fan touched his chin and expressed puzzlement.

Didn't you say that playing cards is respectful, why did this NPC dare to refuse itself.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you refuse, the key is to lose face in front of the students, and you can't get off the stage.

"Could it be that the docking code ......is wrong?"

Seeing that the old man had finished fetching water and was about to turn away, Li Fan decided to give it another try.

So he took out a card and threw it directly.

Smack!

The card was directly attached to the opponent's bald top.

“…… ╬”

The old man was silent for two seconds, and when he turned around again, his face was already full of anger: "You kid, it's just too deceitful!"

！ ”

Immediately afterward, the two saw each other wave their hands and release a Blu-ray table.

"Have you finally accepted the challenge, you NPC?"

Li Fan smiled, looked back at Li Pu, and showed a look of "Uncle Ben had expected it".

"It's kind of interesting."

But Li Pu's focus is indeed on that table.

The old man launched a 3+1 game.

However, it is not the same as the 3+1 they usually play, it is sideways.

Three regular cards in front and three trumps in the back.

Perhaps in the Cube Metaverse, the 3+1 of this model is more respected.

In this way, the uncertainty factor becomes even higher.

As long as the trump card position is discovered first, it may lead to a quick defeat.

Of course, for people like Li Fan, it also improves operability.

The movements on both sides are very neat, and the deck is well placed.

"My trump card is here, do you believe it?"

Before the unveiling, Li Fan looked directly at the old man with confidence on his face and pointed to one of his trump cards.

“……”

Li Pu seriously doubted that this guy would be uncomfortable if he didn't play these flowers in a game.

"Lao Tzu cares if you die!"

However, the old man didn't seem to eat this set, and took the lead in picking up one of his folds and slapped it on the table.

[Roar!

！ 】

A huge body rushed out of the card with a roar.

This is a rather strangely shaped snake, or lizard that is much closer.

Because although it has the head and neck and tail of a snake, it also has four legs.

The most eye-catching thing is that the body is flattened.

It looks like a snake that has been squeezed, and it is oval.

And it covers a large area, and it actually occupies two tablets.

Li Pu's curious gaze followed the information on the cards displayed.

【Four-legged snake】

Berserk, 25 points, a

Attack 40,200/200

[Oversized - Passive]: The four-legged snake needs to occupy two tablet slots, but its HP is +100%

[Behemoth Bullying - Passive]: When the four-legged snake attacks a target with a score of less than 10 points, it deals an additional 20 damage

[Greedy Devouring -30% of Current Health]: The Four-legged Snake devours a target with less than 30% Health, exits the game after 2 turns, and restores 30% of its Max Health

"Ah......h

Seeing the information of this card, Li Pu was a little stunned.

This seemingly ordinary old man in a small town actually reached out and pulled out an A-grade card?

Could it be that he is some kind of incognito powerful NPC?

"Ouch, it's not bad."

However, Li Fan was not surprised when he saw this card.

Ten minutes later, they entered the old man's house without incident.

"You're testers, your strength is really impressive......"

The old man sat at the guest table, looking at Li Fan with a strange look in his eyes.

Why is this guy's card style so disgusting, he let himself be deceived twice in a row, and he didn't find the correct trump card position.

Otherwise, it's really uncertain whether you'll win or lose, huh.

"So, old man, you're really not an NPC?"

Li Fan was smoking the old man's cigarette.

It turned out that after the introduction of the other party just now, they realized that this was completely different from the virtual world they thought it was.

This is a real world, so there are no AI NPCs at all.

And these residents of the metaverse are all recruited by the messengers of the gods and voluntarily relocated from other worlds.

Some yearn for a world where cards are supreme, and some have their homes destroyed and have nowhere to go, etc., anyway, for various reasons.

Now that the Cube Metaverse has just been opened, they are also the first batch of aborigines here.

In the future, more people will be bred to build this new world that has not yet been cultivated.

"Of course the old man is a living person, you must know that before he came here, he was also a well-known card circle character, okay?"

The old man's spirit seemed slightly sluggish.

In fact, even Li Fan himself felt a trace of exhaustion.

The reason is that the two of them played a game just now, which will bring a certain degree of burden to the mental aspect.

As a loser, the old man's mental loss will be greater.

In other words, playing cards in this world has a certain degree of danger.

The consequences of mental exhaustion can be imagined.

As for the many ways to open the game, it certainly does not include Li Fan's "fellow" just now.

He just stumbled upon one of the ways to open it, and that was to contact the other party with a card.

After listening to the old man's brief introduction, the two left each other's residence.

Except for a few packs of cigarettes that Li Fan received, there was no substantial gain.

"Teacher, what should we do next?"

Li Pu wanted to hear Li Fan's opinion.

"Have you forgotten that we came into this world?"

Li Fan glanced at him: "Look for bugs." ”

To be honest, Li Pu thinks he is a person who is more good at finding bugs.

But after all, it hasn't been more than 20 minutes since they came in, and they have no clue.

"Let's go through all the aborigines of this town first, and then let's take the chance."

Li Fan waved his big hand full of pride.

"......, can't you do something pleasing to you?"

Li Pu was speechless.

This newcomer directly offended all the aborigines, how will they mix in the future?

And if you really want to provoke others, the whole town will directly give you a wave of crowd tactics to chase you to play cards, even if you keep winning, you shouldn't be able to bear it, right?

"Then you play slowly, I'll go outside."

He felt that if he stayed by this guy's side, he might even be in danger.

Just now I saw that many people have already explored outside the town, and he wants to explore too.

So after discussion, the two parted ways.

The layout of the town is very haphazard, and there are no fixed entrances and exits.

So Li Pu casually picked a direction and left the town.

However, on the way, he was relatively cautious.

After all, it's a strange place, and everything is too unknown.

"Huh?"

As a result, before he walked a few hundred meters, Li Pu saw a blue light cover suddenly arched not far away.

When I walked over and looked, I found that there was actually a game of cards going on inside the cover.

There are no tables, just tablet slots neatly laid on the ground.

All the cards are folded, indicating that the game has just begun.

The participant in the game is a woman who looks to be about 30 years old.

I don't know why, but although I haven't seen it, I vaguely feel a little familiar.

After thinking about it, Li Pu understood the identity of the other party.

It should be the opponent who fought for a spot in the same theater as himself tonight.

There are only two people in the same district who have won the quota, so the identity of You Mood is about to come out.

However, it is a little strange that in this cover, Li Pu only saw You Xing alone.

As for her opponents, there are only cards and no one.

Knock knock.

Walking to the hood, Li Pu knocked twice with the back of his hand.

It's quite hard to find, giving people a sense of indestructibility.

"Do you want to help?"

His inquiry caught Yu's attention.

Although he didn't know how to help the other party.

"No, I can do it myself."

You Xing's face was full of excitement, but he just glanced back and refused.

With her refusal, the hand in the blue light mask officially begins.

However, Li Pu saw an unexpected scene.

……
