Zhong Yi's gaming experience at this time is:

Peristalsis.

It wriggled wildly.

The layout of the second-floor Immortal Tower became extremely perilous due to the influence of the treasure map incident.

The various routes that were originally available are now separated by the treasure map room.

This means that everyone must confront the fear of elite monsters directly and cannot choose to take a detour.

Even with the relatively easy Immortal Tower, Zhong Yi was under immense pressure.

Because the monster's health had increased several times, and he was carrying three burdens.

Most importantly, Soul Recall no longer works when climbing the tower in a team!

If the card order changes even slightly, the subsequent situation will change accordingly.

In a solo situation, Zhong Yi can easily replicate his previous actions and then change the cards played in key positions.

However, in multi-player scenarios, all four players must play their cards in the order of the previous round to have any chance of winning, which greatly increases the complexity, so it is generally not considered.

Without save/load (SL) and burdened with three dependents, Zhong Yi had no choice but to wriggle frantically through the Immortal Tower.

Each time I play a card, I have to mentally rehearse it several times to make sure I've reached my limit before making the move.

The extreme strategy I originally wanted to play had to be put on hold for the time being. High-quality transitional cards outside the deck had to be put into my inventory, otherwise it would be impossible to even form a complete deck.

"Hahaha! As expected of Senior Brother Zhong, he actually managed to win this!!"

Zhou Qiaoling pushed open the treasure map room and almost drooled when she opened the treasure chest.

Wow!! So much money!!!

In this Immortal Tower where regular monsters cost a dozen or so spirit stones and elite monsters cost thirty or forty, a treasure map that yields 600 spirit stones is undoubtedly a super fortune.

Otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult, since high risk means high reward.

"Then you should definitely buy more combat power cards to convert your economy into output, because I might be a bit weak later on."

Zhong Yi sighed and reminded him.

Having overcome this ultimate challenge, he will no longer use cards outside the established deck and will instead transition to a streamlined deck.

The build he wants to play requires as few cards as possible.

"Okay! I understand~~"

Zhou Qiaoling agreed with a smile.

...

Not long after.

The first battle after leaving the storehouse.

"【Kingdom Assets】 What the hell?!!!!"

...

...

It writhed for a long time.

The three of them finally reached the top of the third floor.

"This journey has been really tough...!"

As Zhou Yue watched the approaching Great Demon of the Bottom Pass, he felt a surge of emotion.

"Of course! I've never °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° seen you start it even once!"

Zhou Qiaoling chuckled as she complained.

"What do you know... It's just that you guys started too fast, leaving me no room to maneuver."

Zhou Yue blushed; he had indeed been the most disappointing one along the way.

In the first tier, he focused too much on the system cards, resulting in a weak overall strength. It wasn't until the second tier that things started to improve.

However, the other three were also quite powerful, and often the battle was over before he even started.

With his deck now about 80% complete, Zhou Yue glanced at the name of the Great Demon and immediately raised an eyebrow:

"Heh, this time the great demon was actually an experimental subject?"

The experimental subject is one of the three bosses.

It has three stages.

When a character is killed in each phase, they will enter an invincible state once, waiting for the next phase to transform.

When it enters its intangible state, it gains an extra round of super defense, taking only 1 point of damage each time, making it practically invincible.

This thing is a true master of stalling; it can definitely stall until it starts moving on its own!

The thought of being surrounded by various magical orbs, exploding the experimental subjects in one go, made Zhou Yue unable to help but curl the corners of his mouth and smile confidently:

"Hehe, just wait and see what I'm about to do!"

Zhong Yi raised an eyebrow; he naturally knew what Zhou Yue wanted to do.

Isn't it just about having all the magic orbs fully charged and radiating light?

However, he wouldn't let Zhou Yue have his way.

Otherwise, how can they show off?

"Old Zhou, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next time to see you start it up."

Zhong Yi patted Zhou Yue on the shoulder with a hearty laugh.

"Ha, we'll see!"

Zhou Yue retorted, unconvinced.

Zhong Yi looked at the last section of the route on the map.

A shop, a campfire, and then the final battle.

"Let's go shopping and have a good time, don't leave any spirit stones on us... then get some sleep! Prepare for the final battle!"

After speaking to everyone, Zhong Yi turned and entered the shop, decisively starting to delete cards.

If he were playing alone, his deck would definitely have around 15 cards at this point.

Unfortunately, the pressure was too great this time, and I took too many transition cards, now totaling 19 cards.

"Fortunately, 【Add Firewood】 and 【Brand】 are both here, so this time there shouldn't be any problems..."

Zhong Yi shook his head and muttered to himself.

The rest of the people on the other side also began their shopping spree.

Of the four, Zhou Qiaoling was the richest.

Not only did the second-floor treasure map yield 600 spirit stones, but it also continuously generated extra spirit stones through 【Hand of Greed】 and 【Kingdom Assets】, making its assets more than double those of the others.

After Zhong Yi stopped expanding his deck, Zhou Qiaoling indeed took on the main responsibility.

It's not that the card deck is particularly good, but rather that I buy a lot of magic items, and I always seem to get top-tier magic items out of nowhere, which are real boosts to my combat power.

Wow, so many gold cards?!

Zhou Qiaoling was so captivated by the dazzling golden light before her that her mouth watered.

"Ugh, this magic item smells awful... I guess I'll just buy a card!"

Zhou Qiaoling made up her mind and began to select a card deck.

"【Hammer Time】? Never seen a gold card like this before! I'll take it!...Wait, what do you mean I get a sword for my teammate while I'm forging? Pfft, that unlucky guy got a good deal!"

"【Undiscovered Gem】? This gold card is amazing! I'll get it!"

"I'm out of money... Damn it! Did I spend too much before?"

"Can't waste it... Hmm? Just enough to buy this discounted blue card, buy, buy, buy!"

"Pah! Pah! Is this how they deal cards to teammates?"

"Oh well, never mind, since I don't need spiritual energy anyway, I'll just consider it accumulating merit!"

...

...

After the three finished getting ready, they went into the campfire.

"I'll only say this once: Go to sleep! This is the final hurdle, we can't afford to fail!"

Zhong Yi looked at everyone seriously.

"Definitely! Definitely!"

"Nonsense! What else can you do if you don't sleep?"

"I'll listen to my senior brother!"

The three of them nodded in unison.

In an instant, the options above the heads of the four people all showed 【Rest】.

"Okay, then I'll count to three, two, one, and we'll all go to sleep together..."

Zhong Yi smiled with satisfaction, then held up three fingers.

"three......"

"two......"

"one!"

"sleep!"

After Zhong Yi finished speaking, Mu Yawen's character immediately lay down to rest.

The other three looked at each other awkwardly.

The cutthroat competition for cards has always been like this.

"Senior brother, I've finished resting... Why haven't you three come out yet?"

"Junior Brother Mu, you have a lot of health, so please provide us with extra defense later..."
