Chapter 608: Chapter 452: Coiling Dragon Valley

"How much can this card sell for?"

Upon seeing the other’s reaction, Li Pu had two interpretations.

Either it’s so useless that it’s shocking,

or it’s incredibly expensive, to the point of being outrageous?

Thinking it over, he felt it was the former.

After all, this card seemed quite mediocre to him—a C-level card, just a passive skill, and hardly any practical use.

It’s a product of his card-making skills, a test piece used for experiments.

The raw materials consisted of a total of 10 unused cards of various types.

These 10 cards basically had no compatibility or common features.

They were just randomly picked junk cards that were casually fused.

The only commonality was being all from the same balanced series; otherwise, they couldn’t be further fused.

[Chaotic Elements]

Balance, 10 points, C

Attack 0, 100/100

[Chaos Interference-Passive]: When revealing Chaotic Elements, it can reduce the damage/HP of a dragon-type card by 20%.

Honestly speaking, Li Pu didn’t think this card had any utility.

Firstly, dragon-type cards; to be honest, he hadn’t encountered many.

From the time he first engaged with cube cards to now, he’d come across no more than 10, and none were particularly strong, mostly A-level at best.

The strongest dragon card he’d seen was the set he currently held.

Furthermore, this Chaotic Elements card had an attack power of 0. Other than weakening a dragon card, it hardly influenced the battleground.

As an example, facing [Beast Master],

[Chaotic Elements] worth 10 points weakens the 25-point [Beast Master] by 20%.

Although the calculation surely isn’t accurate, let’s assume it reduces [Beast Master] by 5 points.

Exchanging 10 points for 5 points is undoubtedly a losing deal.

Even rare high-point cards like [Beast Master] aren’t spared; other dragon cards stand no chance.

Li Pu had tested with two [Chaotic Elements], but it couldn’t weaken a dragon card by 20%+20%=40%.

Instead, it calculated as (100%-20%)x(100%-20%)=64%.

With three cards, it becomes (100%-20%)x(100%-20%)x(100%-20%)=51.2%.

The more you stack, the worse it gets; the effect is genuinely unimpressive.

Its only value might be its rarity.

Or rather, not necessarily rare, but only his own.

He’d seen various elemental cards but never heard of chaotic elemental cards.

"Sir, I’m afraid I can’t appraise this card."

"Mind coming this way?"

The server’s demeanor shifted imperceptibly from friendly to respectful.

She then led Li Pu to an office door in the hall lounge.

Knocking, a Demon Man was inside reading a book.

His skin was deep red, with two ram horns and a black goat beard.

"Boss, there’s a gentleman’s card here..."

"I can’t determine the price."

The server closed the door and reported at the desk.

"Oh? Please take a seat."

The Demon Man raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, sizing up Li Pu.

A pure human, relatively young.

Apart from a limp, nothing stood out.

He’d actually given his subordinates a lot of discretion, curious about what kind of card left her unable to decide.

"It’s a... dragon-counter card."

"I believe it’ll aid in Coiling Dragon Valley’s exploration."

The server whispered softly.

Coiling Dragon Valley, a beast gathering place outside Lanlan Town.

The creatures there are on a whole different level than the outskirts monsters, with many card players returning in defeat.

No one has fully explored it, being blocked by dragon infantry even at the periphery.

Among Lanlan Town’s radiation zone beast sites, Coiling Dragon Valley’s beasts are the strongest.

Not only is it impossible to explore entirely, but it’s also a security concern.

Many speculate there’s enough power to destroy the town inside. Though the dragon army silently occupies the valley, who knows if they’ll surge out someday.

Thus, this place has long been a town’s residents’ concern.

In this context, dragon-counter cards appear even more valuable in Lanlan Town.

Only, the specific effect of this card, the Demon Man needed to see firsthand.

If it’s merely a standard +10 damage to dragon types, it wouldn’t carry much value.

"Sir, may I examine the card?"

Thus, the Demon Man asked with a smile.

"Sure."

Li Pu said little, placing [Chaotic Elements] on the desk and pushing it forward.

[Pop-Pop!]

A dark glow emerged off the card surface again.

(What is this thing?)

(Looks... really weak, doesn’t it?)

(Judging by appearance, the grade is low, definitely no higher than C-level.)

The Demon Man’s first reaction blamed the server with a look.

Such a card, you trouble the boss with?

But upon touching the card, its information fed back into his mind, and he froze.

"Hm?"

After a two-second pause, the Demon Man’s gaze turned excited.

With slightly trembling hands, he picked up the card, meticulously examining it repeatedly.

"It’s indeed a dragon-counter card, a strong one!"

He was overjoyed.

20% weakening, it really was a 20% weakening!

As someone daring to deal in the cubed card metaverse, the Demon Man evidently had some foundation.

He considered his insight to be among the best of his homeland.

He’d seen 20% weakening cards before.

The key here, though, was not some other type of counter weakening card, but one that specifically countered dragon types!
