Zhong Yi's live stream room.
"Let's start with an 【Uppercut】! Apply Vulnerability!"
"One more 【Disassemble】, with double the damage from vulnerability!"
"Let's add another 【bullying】... Here we go!!"
As Zhong Yi explained, he passionately pulled out cards and threw them onto the field, his posture resembling that of a gambler who got carried away playing poker in Lu Ze's previous life.
Despite suffering two consecutive losses at the start, Zhong Yi was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he beca more and more engrossed in the ga.
This ti, he was lucky. He got the 【Disassemble】 skill that he used very well in the previous ga right from the start, and later he got 【Uppercut】 and 【Bully】. He was very good at using a small combo and his single-target attacks were very strong.
The first-floor boss, the great demon 【Apocalypse Deer】, was easily defeated by his three-pronged attack.
"Hahaha! Fellow Daoists! Vulnerability is the right thing to do! Absolutely right!"
This was Zhong Yi's first ti killing a level 1 boss, and he was incredibly excited as he began to boast about the strategy he had discovered.
"Let's see what the great demon drops... Wow!? Golden spiritual energy!?"
Two streams of spiritual energy, one gray and one gold, rose from the corpse of the apocalyptic deer.
The gray spiritual energy is a fixed reward of 100 spirit stones.
When Zhong Yi first saw the golden spiritual energy, he excitedly blew on his hands, as if that would improve his luck.
"Co forth, Golden Myth!"
Zhong Yi shouted and reached out to grab the golden spiritual energy.
Just as he expected, the BOSS battle always drops gold cards.
【Add Firewood (1 Spirit): Consu all cards in your hand, then draw the sa number of cards. (Consus)】
【Crimson Cloak (1 Aura): At the start of your turn, lose 1 Life and gain 8 Block.】
【Hellfire (2 Auras): Whenever you draw a card with "Strike" in its na, play this card against a random enemy.】
Zhong Yi had never seen so many golden cards before. His eyes widened as he began to study them word by word, afraid of missing any crucial information.
"Consus hand cards? No way, what am I supposed to play if I consu them?? How co this thing is gold?"
"Losing a little health per turn for 8 defense... seems like a good deal? But I don't feel like I need much defense. Once I get it, I can't stop losing health... It's a bit of a loss, isn't it?"
"Hellfire... uh!?"
When Zhong Yi's gaze fell on the third card, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Automatically attack when you draw a hit???"
"Holy crap! There are such amazing cards???"
In his experience of drawing cards, he has seen far too many cards with the word "strike" on them.
At the ti, Zhong Yi even complained that Lu Ze was like him, terrible at naming things.
Who knew there was a trick in the na!
Putting everything else aside, the Ironclad Sect cultivators' initial cards include 5 "Strike" cards.
Just the fact that these 5 cards were played automatically is more than enough to make the 2 spirit energy cost worthwhile!
Zhong Yi had already imagined a scenario where, after playing 【Hellish Madman】, he would draw a card and automatically play another, getting five or six free damage cards in one turn.
"A divine card!! Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to this divine card!!!"
After saying that, Zhong Yi put 【Hellfire】 into the deck.
He felt a pang of regret, realizing he had been so focused on acquiring "Vulnerability" cards that he hadn't taken a single "Strike" related card.
"We need to get more cards with nas that imply attack... won't that make us take off?"
Zhong Yi felt increasingly pleased with himself and happily pushed open the door to the second floor.
Like the giant whale on the first floor, the second floor is also guarded by a special ancient inhabitant.
This ti, Zhong Yi encountered a pink creature with only one large eyeball on its head and a body resembling a young dragon, 【Living Rainbow】.
The big eyes didn't look very strange; they blinked and stared at Zhong Yi, looking him around, and were actually quite cute.
Zhong Yi roughly understood the setting of the Killing Immortal Tower.
The initial location of each floor is a room belonging to an ancient person.
After entering the room of the ancient people, your health will be fully restored. Then, the ancient people will give you three high-level magic items and let you choose one of them.
【Sandcastle: When picked up, randomly upgrades 6 cards】
【Driftwood: You can re-roll once for each card reward】
【Rainbow Light Touch: Upgrades the Golden Crow Bloodline to the Nirvana Bloodline (Restores 12 HP at the end of battle)】
"Holy crap?! Double the healing?! That's amazing!"
Zhong Yi, who was bloodthirsty, was originally torn between option one and option two, but when he saw the third option, he imdiately chose to upgrade.
"Hahaha~ I'm about to beco invincible~~"
Seeing his Golden Crow bloodline being upgraded to Nirvana bloodline, Zhong Yi's confidence soared, and he happily waved to the living rainbow light.
"Big Eyeball, thank you! Hahahaha!!"
Zhong Yi pushed open the door to the ancient people's house, took out the map from the second floor, and began to study it.
Having gained experience from more than a dozen battles, big and small, Zhong Yi now considers himself a seasoned tower climber.
He now fully understood the function of each room.
First, there's the campfire.
The campfire serves two purposes: first, it allows you to rest and recover health; second, it helps you upgrade your cards.
Both functions are crucial, but unfortunately, you can only choose one.
When Zhong Yi first stepped into the campfire room, he wished he could go back half an hour and slap himself twice for avoiding the campfire.
Secondly, there are shops.
The shop sells cards, magical items, and potions of varying levels.
Putting aside potions, gold cards and rare magic items are treasures that provide huge boosts!
Unfortunately, they are quite expensive, so you can only pick and choose which ones to buy.
Based on the information he had gathered, Zhong Yi changed his tower-climbing route plan once again.
"First of all, the more campfire rooms the better... Don't even consider those with few campfires!"
As Zhong Yi spoke, he crossed out the rightmost route.
"Secondly, you have to be realistic about your abilities when playing elite rooms... You definitely have to avoid the first floor, but I'm doing well now, so I should be able to take on two."
As he spoke, he marked several more elite rooms.
"And then... all other things being equal, we should go to the question mark rooms more often! We're not like Old Zhou..."
Zhong Yi's pen flew across the paper, once again negating one of the paths.
"In the end, the store only needs to do one big shopping trip, because we don't have enough money!"
Following this line of thought, Zhong Yi quickly decided on the second-level route.
The comnters on the live stream were completely bewildered by this theory.
Wow! No wonder it's Lao Zhong's analysis; it's so logical and well-founded!
【After all that babbling, isn't it just about choosing the middle option?】
【Understood, from now on I'll only take the middle route!】
【Hey, Lao Zhong, go play the new character, okay? The Crown Prince needs you!】
...
Many people don't quite understand it when they first co in, but that doesn't stop them from enjoying it imnsely.
Lu Ze did a great job creating the illusionary scenes; the special effects were gorgeous, and the combat was incredibly satisfying.
Moreover, Roguelike card gas like "Kill Tower" may seem difficult, but they are actually similar to "Three Kingdoms Kill". After watching a ga or two, you will understand the gaplay. At most, you may not be familiar with the monster chanics and card attributes.
Zhong Yi is a naturally gifted live strear who provides comntary while playing, which greatly entertains the viewers in his live stream.
After watching for a while, they even started to offer their own guidance.
【Just use Iron Slash Wave to finish one off! Why use Taunt? Do you really need those few points of defense?】
【Not using the Gold Card? Not using the Gold Card? Not using the Gold Card?】
【Are you deaf if I let you use Whirlwind Slash?】
Why are you throwing uppercuts here? I'm losing too much health. Wouldn't it be better to just go for a defensive stance?
【A strear using pig coins can even miss his target while playing cards!!】
...
Lu Ze, who was secretly watching this scene from the shadows, imdiately beca amused.
This scene was just like the little old man he used to watch others play chess in the park in his previous life.
