The game store only sells various Tarot cards.

The system told Mu Qin that the products in the mall can only be refreshed after each game is over, and each refresh will only randomly display five tarot cards for players to choose arbitrarily. The probability of the main card appearing in the mall is actually not small, but it does not appear every time. According to the different rarity, the more useful the card is, the harder it is to appear-the rarity of the card seems to be determined by the card. It is determined by the number, such as the number zero Fool, it is easy to be brushed out in the mall.

Most of the secondary cards are some garbage cards, which only play some auxiliary functions, such as increasing your income in a game, doubling your reward points; or gaining some weak movement speed or attack power in the game Addition etc.

After Mu Qin opened the mall, he found that his luck was not good, because none of the five tarot cards displayed in the mall was the main card that Mu Qin wanted, and they were all secondary cards, such as the Holy Grail and Sword cards, but Muqin found that one of the five decks of cards was a very good card-the first card of the Holy Grail, which is the 1st of the Holy Grail.

The price is thirteen thousand, which is more expensive than the price of the main brand moon that Mu Qin saw in the mall before.

Generally, there are big and small kings in playing cards, also known as big and small ghosts. In the Minor Arcana of the Tarot, the trump card is number 1.

Of course, in the Minor Arcana, there are also such cards as the King of Cups, Queen of Cups, Knights, Servants, etc., but these seem to have nothing to do with trump cards.

What Muqin sees now is a Holy Grail 1, and the description on the card is as follows: The

god poured the fountain of purification into this crystal clear crystal cup.

The filthy will perish if they drink it.

The pure will live forever after drinking it.

ps: The item consumption card is automatically consumed after entering the map, so that the value of the item rewards you get after the game is over will increase to the highest value.

The description of this card aroused Mu Qin's interest. He wanted to know what the phrase "the value of item rewards has been raised to the highest level" really meant.

He first asked the system, asking: "System, what is the specific effect of this Holy Grail 1?

" Use its specific effects."

"Then... what does it mean to increase the value of item rewards to the highest?" Mu Qin changed the question, he went straight to the center, and asked straightforwardly what he wanted.

The system still just said: "I can't answer, the effect of the item card, please refer to the text description on the card, or in the game..."

Mu Qin can only sigh, he knows that he can't ask, this game is for everyone. The single-player system equipped with each player seems to have many restrictions, and it is vague about specific things.

If Zhou Yue is still there, Mu Qin can still ask Zhou Yue for help. But now Mu Qin can't contact Zhou Yue, and no one can explain the meaning of this sentence to him. So Mu Qin thought about it and made a risky decision. Mu Qin decided to look for information in the messages on the wall. There are so many people leaving messages on the wall, and there will always be one or two of them who are willing to answer Mu Qin's doubts.

Then Mu Qin asked the system for a knife and began to carve words on the "blackboard" - he found that some people's messages on the wall mentioned the word "blackboard". After looking carefully, he found that these walls Players who left messages on the Internet all called the wall where they left messages a "blackboard", which is an inexplicably appropriate word.

Mu Qin held the lettering knife, and was not in a hurry to ask someone for the first time. He quickly scanned the various messages on the blackboard, trying to find the information he needed from other people's words, but seeing After waiting for a long time, Mu Qin couldn't help frowning and thinking. Mu Qin thinks this "blackboard"...is like an anonymous forum on the Internet, where everyone is wearing a vest and speaks wantonly on it, good and bad, truth and lies are mixed in it, and a few people really know the truth right or wrong?

And there are more people who like to communicate in encrypted language, just like Mu Qin and Zhou Yue.

But the encrypted conversations of several of them... were cracked by Mnuchin.

Mu Qin can decipher some encrypted characters. He has learned basic cryptography and can understand Morse code and some simple information engineering codes. However, Mu Qin did not learn this very well, and it would take time and effort to decipher it.

So Mu Qin asked the system for a notebook and a pen, and began to copy other people's messages on the wall, and then deciphered them one by one.

During the process of cracking, Mu Qin found that... these guys who use encrypted characters to communicate are really stronger than Mu Qin expected. Their encryption seems to have made some improvements of their own, which greatly increased the workload of cracking. Compared with the "exquisite cryptography" used by these guys, the seal script used by Mu Qin and Zhou Yue in communication is simply childish.

Zhou Yue seems to know this too, but he doesn't seem to mind that the content of his conversation with Mu Qin will be leaked.

Anyway, Zhou Yue and Mu Qin didn't talk about important things on the blackboard, and if they had something important, they would definitely communicate directly in the game, so Mu Qin didn't get entangled anymore. He continued to crack other people's codes. He was still very smart. Although he only knew a little about the cracking, he was still largely successful.

After he deciphered it, he roughly understood what these encrypted messages were about, and the content was very simple.

Probably a player code-named "ABB" made an agreement with others to enter the game team together at a fixed time.

ABB and his partner (the code name or name of this partner, Mu Qin, could not be deciphered), agreed to enter the new game at 9 o'clock the next morning, and they seemed to have brought a lover card and a temperance card. They also said some "if it happens that you don't successfully enter the game together" the response plan.

Mu Qin squinted his eyes and randomly scribbled on his notebook with a pen. He discovered the benefits of cracking other people's passwords, that is... maybe Mu Qin can try to find out the specific time when others enter the game, and then keep silent and get ready. Things and that person entered together. If Mu Qin successfully entered, then Mu Qin would know the other person's "hole card" at the beginning of the game.

Knowing other people's hole cards... is actually a very huge advantage. It can save many unnecessary troubles in the competition in the game.

Especially if Mu Qin got a ghost card in the game, then as a killer, he would know the Tarot cards held by the human side.

Mu Qin thought that perhaps it was because of this that many people encrypted their conversations with their teammates during the communication on the blackboard, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening. But for things like passwords, if someone can create them, someone can crack them. After entering the game, it will happen several times that the other party knows their cards.

After deciphering the dialogue between ABB and his teammates...Although he has an idea, Mnuchin does not intend to enter the game with other people's "convoy" for the time being. He continues to search for valuable information on the blackboard. Then Mu Qin cracked the encrypted messages of many people one after another, some of them were not completely cracked, and only a few words were obtained, but Mu Qin still recorded them and wrote them in his small notebook, maybe Will come in handy later.

When the time period for players to communicate on the blackboard was about to pass, Mu Qin locked on a player who actively left messages on the blackboard, the guy code-named "Viscount".

This player named Viscount communicated with his teammates through encrypted messages, and at the same time posted some trading messages in ordinary Chinese on the blackboard, saying that he had a lot of idle main cards and secondary cards in his hand, so that players who needed Message him for a deal.

Indeed, several players interacted with him by leaving messages, and it seemed that the transaction was successful.

Muchin decided to take part, he started to leave a message to the Viscount, he wrote: Do you have any cards I need in your hand?

The Viscount quickly replied to Muchin: I have most of the cards you need.

Mu Qin: The world, is there any?

Viscount: ...are you kidding me?

Mnuchin: Why do you think so? I am serious.

Viscount: Are you new?

Muqin: That's right.

The viscount seemed to dislike Mu Qin a little, and replied after a moment of silence: I don't trade with newcomers.

Mu Qin: Then after your old customers die, you will have no new customers.

Viscount: ...Haha, well, the reason why I don't want to trade with newcomers is because you don't understand anything.

Mu Qin: I think I still know a lot. I really need the world card. Maybe you can understand the reason.

Viscount: Is it related to Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?

Mu Qin was stunned when he saw this line. It seems that the Viscount is indeed an out-and-out old player, which made Mu Qin a little happy and a little nervous.

Mu Qin wrote: Yes.

Viscount: Then I'm afraid I can't help you, the world card is too rare. I can't get it by all means.

Mu Qin: What about the Wheel of Fortune?

Viscount: I do have that one, but it has been reserved in advance, so I can't sell it to you.

Mu Qin pondered for a while, and continued to write: Do you accept cards here?

Viscount: Accept, of course I will accept cards, I will accept all kinds of main cards or useful secondary cards, it is better to have the Death card, that would be even better.

Mu Qin: Do you accept the Holy Grail 1?

Viscount: Collect it! That's a good card!

Mu Qin: Good card? Really?

The Viscount is proud: Newcomer, since you have such a good card, I will reluctantly reveal it to you. The Holy Grail 1 is the best auxiliary card for ghost players. Ghost players will get a special card from the system after the game is over. Reward box, after opening, there is a chance to get various rare cards, bonus points, and even skills.

Viscount: But opening this box is pretty cool. The best thing I have ever opened is 50,000 bonus points. It feels like flying.

Viscount: The Holy Grail 1 is used to strengthen this box. If you can be a ghost in the next game, burn a Holy Grail 1, and the reward box you get after the game has a high probability of opening good things.

After reading Viscount's message, Mu Qin touched his chin thoughtfully. He knew that Zhou Yue had been working hard to win the role of ghost in every game, just for the special reward of this ghost player.

The special reward box... I am afraid that only this box has a chance to open a world card.

The Viscount's next words also verified Mu Qin's thoughts. The Viscount wrote: Newcomers, if you want a world card, I am afraid that the only way to choose is to open the reward box. I have never seen anyone get the world. I have been selling all kinds of cards for so long, and I have never seen a single world.

Mu Qin: According to you, I should keep the Holy Grail 1, maybe I can use it to open the world?

The Viscount immediately regretted it: Aww! I'm such a bitch, I shouldn't have told you!

Mu Qin: Thank you. In this case, I want to try Holy Grail 1. Can you sell me a Death card?

The Viscount seemed to be in high spirits: How many games have you played?

Mu Qin: Two rounds.

Viscount: That's really a newcomer, you haven't been a ghost before, have you?

Mnuchin: No.

The Viscount wrote quickly in surprise: Do you really have the courage to be a ghost?

Mu Qin took a deep breath and replied: Sooner or later, there will be such a test. Instead of passively waiting, it is better to take the initiative.

The Viscount praised and wrote: Well, I have rarely met a newcomer as courageous as you. We can make friends. To show my sincerity, I will sell you a death card at a low price, as long as the original price of the mall is 10,000. You know, when I sell it to others, I always ask for 15,000 yuan.

Mnuchin: Can I get credit?

Viscount: I decided to take back what I said before, let's not be friends anymore...

But in the end, Mu Qin bought the Death Card from the Viscount. The Viscount is a good businessman, and he agreed with Mu Qin's statement that the credit is due, because in the marginal world... the transactions between players can indeed be credited, and Mu Qin can prepay the Viscount 3 Thousands of reward points will be used as a deposit, and then the final payment will be automatically deducted from the reward points that Mu Qin will get in the next game.

But if Mu Qin unfortunately dies in the next game, then the Viscount will not be able to get the final payment, so credit is considered a relatively risky approach, and most players will not choose to do this, but the Viscount seems to have great confidence in Mu Qin look.

No matter what the Viscount thought, Mu Qin still managed to get a Death Card on credit, plus the Holy Grail 1 bought in the mall.

"It's worth a try." Mu Qin said to himself holding two cards.

Mu Qin concluded that Zhou Yue did not get the world card at all, nor did he find the so-called usurper, and everything Zhou Yue said before was deceiving the king.

However, the player numbered "Thirteen" mentioned by Zhou Yue at the time may actually exist, and perhaps Zhou Yue can try to persuade Thirteen to become a usurper. While Zhou Yue was looking for the usurper, Mu Qin planned to help Zhou Yue use the Holy Grail 1 to open the world.

Although this is a very, very test of luck and face, Mu Qin's luck has always been very good.

Reaper and Holy Grail 1 completely spent the reward points that Muqin got in the previous game, so Muqin is now a poor and useless player. He wasn't depressed at all, he decided to stay in the safe house for three days until Zhou Yue came online. The three days in the safe house are equivalent to Zhou Yue's three hours in the game. As long as there are no accidents, Zhou Yue should be able to come back soon.

When Zhou Yue came back, Mu Qin would discuss with him how to deal with the king, discuss how to get the world card and find a usurper.

Mu Qin wanted to scold him severely, scolding this bastard who wanted to bear everything silently.

Mu Qin will not let him get rid of him easily, Mu Qin must follow him firmly.

But what Mu Qin didn't expect was that Zhou Yue still didn't come back when the three days of rest in the safe house were almost over.

...

In the past three days, Mu Qin has been leaving messages on the blackboard, looking forward to Zhou Yue's reply, but there has been no news from Zhou Yue.

Therefore, apart from exercising in the training room provided by the system, Mu Qin spends almost all his time guarding the blackboard, waiting for Zhou Yue's news, while deciphering other people's password messages and collecting various messages left by various players. , and recorded them one by one in his notebook.

Although he failed to contact Zhou Yue successfully, Mu Qin still gained a lot in the past three days. He became friends with the card dealer named Viscount. Viscount is a very active person and likes to chat with all kinds of players. Dealing with others, donating the information he knows to many people without hesitation, in exchange for the friendship and trust of others, so that he can conduct better transactions and get more "customers". Lots of messages.

The Viscount has a fixed number of teammates, a total of nine people, and calls himself the "Nine Wolves".

Every time the Nine Wolves will enter a new game in groups of three, assuming a successful match, the three will be together; if it fails, at least two of them will be matched to the same game; situation together.

According to the Viscount, their Nine Wolves team has changed blood many times since its establishment. The original founder died long ago. As long as a teammate loses contact with the team, other team members will find new players to fill their positions. This approach has allowed the Nine Wolves to exist to this day.

With the backing of so many teammates, the Viscount made a suggestion for the "prosperity" of the Nine Wolves.

He first recruited his own team members to work as an unscrupulous card merchant. At first, his teammates helped collect various cards, bought cards from others at low prices, and then sold them to others at high prices. Therefore, he worked together to collect a lot of reward points. These bonus points are used to help each member of the Nine Wolves acquire skills and strengthen their physical fitness, which makes the teammates of the Nine Wolves live more comfortably.

The more they live freely, the more bonus points they get in the game, and the more cards they can buy, and then throw these cards to the Viscount to sell them for money, so the Viscount's "business" is getting better and better. Prosperous, seems to have become a super merchant in the marginal world.

But the Viscount told Mu Qin, he said: There are too many unknowns in the marginal world, I don't know how long I can live, and I don't know how long my business can last.

The Viscount continued: I hope that the Nine Wolves will always exist. As long as we collect more reward points and cards to strengthen ourselves, we will become the strongest in the marginal world. It's not a dream anymore, you say?

Later, the Viscount also revealed a lot of information to Mu Qin. Starting from the Fool No. 0, he told Mu Qin the specific functions of the main cards one by one.

Except for the Fool and the Magician, the medical card Priestess that Muqin once got was a one-time use medical card. A good advantage...that is, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be saved even if it is near death.

Cooperating with some cards with serious sequelae such as demon cards, it has the effect of extending life.

After the priestess is the queen card, which is also a medical card, and it is a medical card that can be used indefinitely, but the healing speed of the queen card is very slow. If you are seriously injured, it will take a long time to recover with the queen card, and the rescue It is not possible for the dying person, because the recovery speed is slow, and the dying person is dead before recovering.

The advantage of the Empress is its battery life, it will not be consumed without durability, and it can be reused.

After the queen card is the emperor card, which is a somewhat peculiar card. The person who holds the emperor card can designate a teammate of his own to be the "knight" or "guard" of the emperor. As long as he is around the "emperor", the "guard" " will be enhanced in all aspects of physical fitness, the enhancement effect is similar to that of a chariot, but if the "Guard" is too far away from the "Emperor", the buff effect will disappear.

Next is the Pope. This card is a bit of a surprise, and the effect is that it is immune to negative effects globally. In other words, the person holding the card will not be troubled by any DeBuff, will not be affected by dizziness, pain, restraint, etc., and will not be affected by cards with control effects such as reversed demon, reversed judgment, reversed restraint, etc. Binding... It can be said to be a super powerful weapon against reversed cards. Most of the negative effects of killer reversed cards on humans can be eliminated by the pope.

Vice versa, the Reverse Pope can also prevent the killer from being affected by various human control cards - the Viscount told Mu Qin that the killer must not get this card, otherwise all members will not be able to escape.

The Viscount only told Muchin about the effects of these cards. He said that if he revealed more, he would charge a fee. Muchin was not greedy, and he was already very satisfied with the information.

Since the Viscount revealed so much information, he seemed to want to get back some information from Mu Qin, so he said to Mu Qin; you want the world card, it must be because of the Butterfly Throne, right?

Mu Qin said yes.

The Viscount said: Although I know that there is such a thing, I still don't know what it is. Many people say that when you find the Butterfly Throne, you must bring the Death Card and the world, and you can't figure out why. , can you tell me what you know?

Muchin told the Viscount what he knew about the Butterfly Throne. Mu Qin thinks that it is not a big deal to tell the other party about this kind of thing.

Muqin and the Viscount have been talking on the blackboard every day for the past three days, and they have figured out a separate encrypted text, and they are communicating secretly.

The Viscount was very surprised when he saw what Mu Qin said, and wrote: It means that if you want to escape, you have to find someone else as a substitute... It's too bad, the marginal world doesn't want us to escape at all.

Mu Qin said: The king on the throne is hunting down my friend, so I want to get a world for my friend.

The Viscount wrote: I can help you. Although the world is indeed difficult to obtain, there are many people and great strength. I have a lot of death cards in my hand. If I ask my teammates to use them to farm reward boxes, no matter how low the probability is, there will always be one person who can collect them. come out.

Mu Qin replied: But the danger is also great. You shouldn't let yourself and your teammates take this risk for a stranger like me. Moreover, even if you do this, I will not be able to repay you. The contribution is not proportional to the return. This is not what you, a businessman, should do.

The Viscount said regretfully: Yes, you are right, I took it for granted.

Viscount: You are a very smart person with courage and foresight. I admire you very much. The conversation with you these two days is also very pleasant. I hope to add you as my teammate in the future, although the current position of the Nine Wolves is It's full, but I don't mind turning into a team of ten.

Mu Qin: I would like to accept your kindness, but please wait until I finish my own affairs.

...

On the third day, the Viscount and his teammates teamed up and went to the black hole. Mu Qin still hadn't waited for Zhou Yue, and the time to start a new game forcibly next time was close at hand. Mu Qin sighed. He sat in front of the "blackboard" with his notebook that had recorded and deciphered the messages on the blackboard for the past two days. "Continue to decipher other people's messages.

The countdown to the mandatory new game has begun, and Mu Qin left a message to Zhou Yue on the blackboard. He didn't know if Zhou Yue could see it. He wrote in seal script:

Zhou Yue, I miss you so much.

And the new game has already started. In this new game, Mu Qin brought his death card and Holy Grail 1.

As soon as the game started, Mu Qin found himself in an indoor scene, which seemed to be a place similar to a very large library, because there were rows of bookshelves in front of him.

Then Mu Qin took out the card in his pocket that every player would draw at the beginning of the game-a reversed star.

"Look." Mu Qin said to himself, "I'm really lucky."
