The third floor, the Great Demon Room.

Zhong Yi glanced at the three of them.

Everyone's development has been smooth along the way.

Zhou Qiaoling goes without saying; as the richest person in the team, she has one supermodel magic weapon after another, so she can deal damage even if she attacks randomly.

With Zhong Yi's help, Mu Yawen used the classic fully automatic card-playing combination of 【Hellish Madman】 + 【Escape】; at the same time, her health was very good, and she would help others defend whenever she had free time.

Zhou Yue...

"What are you looking at... I'm starting it up! It'll be starting up soon!!"

Zhou Yue glared back with a dark expression.

"Hahaha, good, good, good!"

Zhong Yi was overjoyed. After the experimental subject tore and bit him, their turn came again.

Upon seeing the new hand of cards, Zhong Yi's eyes narrowed and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

The key card is 【Add Fuel】, the rest are all transitional cards!

Without a second thought, Zhong Yi typed out 【Add Firewood】.

The upgraded 【Adding Firewood】 does not consume spiritual energy, but will "consume" all cards in your hand and then draw the same number of cards.

This move immediately stunned everyone else.

"Holy crap... Old Zhong, are you kidding me? These are all top-tier cards!!"

Zhou Yue was puzzled.

Cards that are consumed will not be added to the deck, and you won't draw them throughout the entire game.

What Zhong Yi burned were the powerful cards on the first and second floors that carried the team to victory!

Burning one or two is fine, after all, Zhong Yi has been burning 【brands】 just now.

But burning four sheets at once is truly astonishing.

"Hehe, you'll understand soon enough..."

Zhong Yi chuckled, looking at the newly drawn 【Mark】 in his hand, and was overjoyed once again.

"Heaven is helping me!"

With that, he branded himself and burned another card.

At this point, he only had 8 cards left in his deck.

Burn two more cards, and that will be the moment when the "infinite flow" strategy is perfected.

Just thinking about that scene of endless card play that shocked everyone made Zhong Yi want to put his hands on his hips with amusement.

"I'll show you right away, nothing... uh?"

Zhong Yi was speaking when he suddenly stopped, looking at the 【King's Sword】 that had suddenly appeared in his hand.

A quick glance revealed the ability card 【Hammer Time】 that Zhou Qiaoling had just played.

The effect is to give swords to teammates.

Zhong Yi's lips twitched violently.

Well, looks like I'll have to burn three more instead of two...

"Junior Sister Qiaoling, please don't do it again next time..."

As soon as Zhong Yi opened his mouth, another brand new card was played.

【Generous donations】.

Zhong Yi vaguely remembered it as a special card in team mode.

It seems to be a card being passed to a teammate...

not good!

Zhong Yi was shocked and was about to speak, "Don't give it to me..."

However, it was too late.

The target of that 【generous donation】 was Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi wanted to cry but had no tears.

It was supposed to be just two, but it turned into three, and now it's going to be four...

That was what he originally thought.

But when he saw six colorless cards flying towards him, Zhong Yi felt like the sky had fallen.

"Why are there 6 cards?!"

Zhong Yi almost vomited blood.

Upon closer inspection, a buff was clearly visible beneath this 【Generous Donation】:

【Replay x6】

"ah?"

Zhou Qiaoling blinked, looking completely innocent.

"I don't know... It seems like both replays of 【Undiscovered Gems】 were on it?"

Zhong Yi grabbed his hair in a fit of rage:

"ah!!!"

"Kill me!!"

...

...

Zhong Yi fell silent.

Zhou Yue was very happy about this.

Although he didn't know what tricks Zhong Yi was going to use, it was clear that it wouldn't work anytime soon.

Looking at the ever-growing number of orbs above his head, Zhou Yue felt a surge of smugness.

At this point, he had already opened up 8 spell slots. Once he filled all the spell slots, he would be able to single-handedly kill the BOSS!

This round happens to be the experimental subject's third-stage defensive round.

With the buff that grants it no physical form, it will only lose 1 point of health from any attack it receives!

Invincibility in disguise!

"Hahaha, Old Zhong... I'm going to activate it next round, aren't I? Let me show you how powerful my malfunctioning spirit puppet is!"

Zhou Yue was incredibly proud.

The test subject currently has a full 900 health points, enough for him to demonstrate his damage output!

"Hmm? I heard you're going to start it up?"

Zhong Yi immediately smiled.

Because, after relentlessly deleting cards one game after another, his strategy had become fully developed!

"Then you can activate it when you fight the architect later... Hahaha!"

After saying that, his mentor and commentator personas instantly took over.

"I've always told you, removing cards is more important than anything else, removing cards is more important than anything else..."

"But have you ever thought about this..."

"What kind of wonders could you achieve if your deck were reduced to its bare minimum?"

Upon hearing this, the other three noticed that Zhong Yi was holding five cards in his hand.

There are no cards in the discard pile, and there is only one card in the draw pile.

In other words...

He only had 6 cards left at that point!

"You keep drawing the same few cards?"

Zhou Yue blurted it out.

"That's right."

Zhong Yi smiled and played a card: 【Resentment】.

The effect is to deal 9 damage, and if the user has lost life during the turn, it also grants a card draw effect.

Above Zhong Yi's head hung a 【crimson cloak】.

Each round, 1 point of health will be automatically deducted in exchange for a block.

In other words, the card-drawing effect of 【Resentment】 will trigger 100% of the time!

"Generally speaking, this way of playing requires 2 draw cards and 1 spirit recovery card..."

"But this time, it can be done without returning to the spirit realm."

Zhong Yi explained with a smile, while simultaneously drawing the last card from his deck—

It is also 【resentment】.

The first 【Resentment】 card goes to the discard pile, and the second 【Resentment】 card goes to his hand.

Zhou Yue suddenly understood Zhong Yi's intention.

"When your deck is streamlined to its limit, you can achieve—"

"Draw a card, regain energy, draw another card, regain energy again..."

"A never-ending cycle."

Zhong Yi stood up straight, his hands unconsciously placed on his waist, and his chest lifted.

His pretentious attitude was on full display.

I would call it—

"Infinite Flow!!"

Having said that, as he played a 【Resentment】 card, another 【Resentment】 card entered his hand.

Another 【Resentment】 card is played, and yet another 【Resentment】 card is added to the inventory...

...

One after another, 【-1】 appeared on the forehead of the test subject.

The other three were initially shocked, but their expressions gradually changed as time went on.

"Holy crap!! Hold on a second, can't you let me start one game first???"

【-1】

【-1】

...

"This thing has 900 HP, by the time you finish fighting it it will be dark!!"

【-1】

【-1】

...

"Stop! Stop it now!"

【-1】

【-1】

...

"Senior brother, I'm sleepy..."

【-1】

【-1】

...

"Damn it!! Old Zhong, if you keep using those little combos like that, I'm going to beat you up right now!!!"
