With Zhong Yi consciously choosing a vulnerable playstyle, the deck's strength is quite good.

Even on the second level, the pressure was still not great.

After each battle, Zhong Yi would eagerly anticipate the card selection phase.

Because the first-floor boss dropped 【Hellish Madman】, Zhong Yi began frantically searching for cards related to "strike".

"Preparing for a strike? An old friend, here you go!"

"Double blow...tsk tsk, a bit cheap, but if it's free...take it!"

"No more blows... another Bully card? A 0-cost card, might as well take it! Haha, what great luck!!"

"What? A perfect strike! Each strike adds 2 damage?! There are cards this perfect?! Take it!!"

"Wow! Another perfect strike! With cards like these, I'll take as many as I can!!"

...

Every time Zhong Yi passed through a combat room, his face beamed with a smile as if he were celebrating the Lunar New Year.

"Haha, fellow Daoists, my deck already has 28 powerful cards! I'm terrifyingly strong now!!"

Zhong Yi generously displayed his deck of cards, showing off with smug satisfaction.

The live stream chat immediately erupted in discussion.

【Wow! Wait, let me save this screenshot, I have to copy this deck!】

So, should we go for a "vulnerability" build or a "strike" build?

【Nonsense! Of course, you play whichever card comes your way; you can win no matter what card you play if you're focusing on one.】

【The bell is brilliant!】

...

Fueled by the praise in the live chat, Zhong Yi became incredibly arrogant, acting as if he wanted to kick anyone in sight.

"I feel invincible!"

After saying that, he went into the next strange little room.

"Damn! Four monsters!!"

The moment Zhong Yi saw the four little monsters jump out, he broke out in a cold sweat.

The four swaying eels from the previous game left him with considerable psychological trauma.

He subconsciously glanced at the room attributes in the upper right corner.

"Oh...it's just a small monster...it's alright then..."

Zhong Yi patted his chest, then looked at the four ugly-looking cockroaches.

When faced with new monsters, Zhong Yi's first reaction is to check their special buffs.

【Difficult to Eliminate: All damage and health reduction effects received by the exoskeleton worm will not exceed 9 points.】

"..."

Zhong Yi took a deep breath.

A single instance of damage cannot exceed 9 points. A cockroach has about 26 health points, which means that it takes at least 3 cards to kill a cockroach.

There were four cockroaches like that.

The most frustrating thing is that Zhong Yi is obsessed with using vulnerability and attack cards, which are characterized by high single-target damage but have very little AOE or multi-hit damage...

After glancing at the damage values ​​of the four cockroaches, Zhong Yi felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Damn it!! These mobs on the second floor are even more freakish than the elites on the first floor!!!"

...

After expending 22 lives, Zhong Yi managed to kill four cockroaches with great difficulty.

"Damn! Looks like I need to grab some AoE damage cards!!"

After much painful reflection, Zhong Yi continued to optimize his deck selection, immediately picking out an AOE card from the newly dropped cards and adding it to his deck.

"Oh right, I also need to get the defense cards..."

"Our deck is all about being well-rounded!"

"Its main feature is that it can fight anyone it encounters!"

...

After defeating the cockroaches, the next steps are a random room, a shop room, a campfire room, and then a boss room.

"Hahaha! I'm rich! A lucky encounter gave me 63 spirit stones!"

Shaking the small bag of spirit stones in his hand, Zhong Yi walked out of the random room with great joy.

The next room is the shop room.

So getting the spirit stones at this point means he can buy more cards and magic items!

Zhong Yi couldn't wait to enter the store.

He now possessed a fortune of 413 spirit stones, and upon entering, he began to examine the items in the shop.

"I think I'm a bit lacking in defense..."

"No defensive cards... Wait! Iron Slash Wave? Iron Slash Wave is great! It deals damage and increases defense... Buy it!"

"Wow! Another perfect strike! Such a perfect hand for such a low price? What a waste... I'll grab more good cards, I'll buy them!"

"What!? I encountered the 【Demon Form】 here, which I didn't get to play in the last game?? And it's on sale???" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"My God, a gold card for only 74 spirit stones? Is there really such a good deal? More, more!"

"Holy crap, what kind of card is this? A group damage card with 0 spirit energy, and it deals 8 damage? Awesome! I'll buy it!"

"Delete cards?? I worked my butt off to get these, what kind of idiot would delete them? It costs 50 spirit stones... If I add a little more, I could buy a discounted gold card!"

...

Zhong Yi went on a buying spree, thinking every brand he saw was awesome.

"As long as they don't waste my cards, they're all good cards!"

Zhong Yi looked at his deck with a smug smile and left the shop satisfied.

He showed off his thick, heavy deck of cards to the live stream viewers.

"Look, fellow Daoists! The deck has already broken through the 30-card mark, and it'll be 35 cards soon!!"

The live stream chat was naturally filled with commotion and envy.

Zhong Yi arrived at the campfire.

This is the fixed campfire before the final boss. After resting here, you will face the final boss of this level.

Zhong Yi's health was down to just over 50, but he didn't plan to rest and recover.

"With so many cards, even the great demon can't do anything to me... I'd better knock down my cards!"

Zhong Yi had full confidence in his combat abilities.

In his opinion, his deck is now perfect!

The three-hit combo is incredibly effective against single targets, making things as easy as chopping vegetables!

If the BOSS's health is too high, there is also a 【Hellish Madman】 card, so the automatic card-playing system will be used.

Every round, a bunch of "attack" cards are automatically played. Doesn't that scare the BOSS?

If this BOSS is a group of monsters, or can summon minions, then he just bought two AoE damage cards, so he's not afraid either!

In short, it can be summed up in two words:

Invincible!

"Hahahaha... 34 cards, there shouldn't be any opponents in the tower now, right? Hahahaha~~"

Zhong Yi upgraded the perfect strike, then laughed wildly as he entered the BOSS room.

"【Great Demon Prophet Demon】? It doesn't look very imposing, just average."

"Do I have to choose? Lose health each turn or draw fewer cards each turn?"

"They're definitely drawing fewer cards!"

"Damn it! Where's 【Hellfire Maniac】? Where's 【Provocation】? Come on over here!"

"Damn it, I didn't disassemble it properly. Is Lao Zhou watching my live stream??"

"Ugh... Why do I have to choose again?? I'm going to explode if I draw one less card!"

"Choose the option that reduces health...it hurts!!"

"【Hell's Madman】, 【Hell's Madman】... Please, come quickly!"

"Three 【Perfect Strike】 cards?? Can you please get lost?!"

"Holy crap!! 【Hell's Madman】 is really on the last one!?"

"Why do I have to make a choice again? Can't you just give me a straight answer???"

"How on earth was this demon designed?! It's insane!!!"
