Chapter 178 (1/2)

Probably due to the influence of the character cards, Zhao Youyue had grown fond of card collection games. There is this card collecting c.u.m battle mobile game called ”Summoner's War,” which was similar to ”Onmyoji” in the other world.

However, this was a game with a broader worldview, that involved ent.i.ties like Cthulhu, and the summoning of all kinds of weird stuff. The G.o.d Cards, The Mythology Beast Cards, and The Evil Spirit Cards etc. are SSR [1].

Upon entering ”Onmyoji,” the gamer will be given a ”Manual of The Other World”. Then, the tutorial would begin, along with putting in a variety of materials, the character, and the Monster Cards etc. that he wants to summon. The more precise the description, the more accurate the summoning would be.

But, ”Onmyoji” is truly a deceitful game. Many gamers did not acquire the card that they really wanted, even though it was close to their description.

For instance, you would like to summon a ”Mermaid Card,” and you have described it, sparing no details, and yet, a ”Medusa Card” appears. The possibility of getting this card is far greater, as the ”Mermaid Card” is very rare. Once this evil card is summoned, you will need to battle with it by using your collected cards. You can only gain more materials for summoning and experience points for leveling up by defeating it.

It was actually an exciting game to play. Its most celebrated attraction lied in its unpredictable nature. Whether it is good or bad, the results are always exciting!

At the same time, it contained many branch plots. Oftentimes, a precious SSR card would contain a series of branch tasks. One can collect it only after perfecting the character.

It is said that the game developer is so serious in developing and perfecting it that they are constantly adding new cards to the roster, keeping those obsessed collectors Whaling and RIP Liver'ing [2]. Those sheep were willing to put themselves through all of that, as they would be very happy for a month if they manage to collect an SSR card!

Unlike ”Onmyoji”, SSR cards in ”Summoner's War” were scarce. However, it was worthwhile, as the card promised great performance, often forming the basis of a specific deck build..

A legend had even popped up on the internet concerning the designer of this game, the top game planner whose nickname was [Two Big Spys], saying that this planner wanted to create a character card with its own intelligence. The card would be consistent yet kaleidoscopic; gamers could own her but not the real her…

However, a legend would remain as a legend. [Two Big Spys] had not yet specified the methods of obtaining the card, and it is impossible for an extremely rare card to possess such intelligence with today's technology.

This was merely a beautiful pipedream.

Otherwise, how could there be a game character who seemed to have a soul and really be alive in a card game?

That night, Zhao Youyue resumed her streaming, and without using ”Yu Shengfan”, she played the Whaling and RIP Liver game, ”Summoner's War.” She had been so obsessed with it recently, and did not have an SSR card yet, since she just started. All she had was a set of standard card, and all of which were side characters.

Once she started, many fans of Yu Shengfan entered, and they greeted her by using bullet curtains---

”What game will Xiao Yu play today? Will she continue to fight for higher ranking or a LAN game?”

”Watching you playing games is boring, it is too easy for you. Let's sing; I want to hear the song ”South Mountain” again!”

”Come, I am begging for some scolding. B*llsh*t Yu Shengfan, come and confront me!”

”There's a bullet curtain that begged to get scolded again, this only happens in Xiao Yu's streaming…”

”No matter what, let me send her some fish b.a.l.l.s first. Besides that, I beg of Xiao Yu to turn on the camera!”

”No point turning on the camera, the streamer must be a fat otaku girl, a big fat one!”

”What's wrong with fat otaku girls? Did she eat your rice?”
