Chapter 4047 - 3155: "Romantic" Wedding Season (39)
Shiller took out all the cards and found the game setup quite clever. Despite bearing the name of Three Kingdoms Kill, it actually resembled Hearthstone more closely, complete with dice rolling for checks and character summoning akin to Pokémon battles.
Every player had a Main Control Card, similar to the Lord in Three Kingdoms Kill or the Hero in Hearthstone. At the start, players would roll dice and summon characters onto the field based on their Investment points.
The characters were mostly divided into several factions of superheroes, such as The Avengers, Young Avengers, The Sanctum, Kamar-Taj, S.H.I.E.L.D., New Warriors Team, Spider Legion, Asgard, and so on.
This was originally a Disney initiative to promote American superheroes, so it mainly featured American superheroes. Shiller had heard that there was a Chinese hero version, but it was a mobile game, which they couldn't play outside the Great Wall.
Then there were the Event Cards, all of which could be summoned by dice rolls, such as a bat invasion in New York, the descent of Dark Elfs, or the grand wedding of the King of Asgard.
Shiller was very curious about the effect of his card.
The others were equally curious about theirs. Peter found his card first, and he had two of them: one was "Genius re
This kind of small fry that Wanda could casually drown by the dozen in the real world beat them up so badly in the game, and the characters they drew were all nearly killed off by the Ten Commandments' abilities.
Wanda was nearly frantic, swapping cards around, sometimes pushing Captain America to the front, sometimes asking to borrow Black Widow from others.
When their characters were nearly all dead, Shiller and Peter sent waves of small robots, strengthened several times over and piloted by humans, to the battlefield. The Ten Commandments were beaten into a retreat, and they barely defended against the event.
One should realize that if the event wasn't resolved within 10 turns, everyone would lose together, which was quite realistic since the fight had reached their home turf of New York. If they didn't mobilize everything at this point, it would indeed mean collective doom.
After the fight, the points weren't divided evenly but based on damage inflicted. Wanda, though bustling around like a tiger, didn't deal enough damage. Most of the damage was dealt by the mechanical army, and she could only watch helplessly as Shiller and the others, who arrived last, walked away with most of the points, joyfully selecting cards in the market.
Naturally, choosing cards meant picking those that would complete the mechanical deck. Shiller picked Ultron, then grabbed two Mechanical Repairs. Peter didn't choose himself but instead chose Wakanda King T'Challa, also known as Black Panther, who comes with a high-performance aircraft and can also boost mechas.
Afterward, the others couldn't really play anymore. Shiller's burst of small robots clogged up the nest completely. The others' cards barely posed a threat to the nest without the flying tag. Whenever an event occurred, Shiller resolved it first, continued to accumulate points, and bought more cards, growing bigger and bigger.
Fortunately, later on, Jarvis drew Thor and, quite by chance, drew a special action card, Vault, using Squirrel Girl's luck skill to explode a Mjölnir card out of nowhere.
This item was heaven-sent against a mechanical army; not only did it kill one robot with every lightning strike, but it could also conduct electricity for chain reactions. Shiller carelessly almost had his painstakingly amassed mechanical army wiped out in one fell swoop.
Later, Wanda drew Loki, who could use Illusion Technique. Shiller didn't understand how robots could be affected by hallucinations, but he indeed had no cards capable of dispelling them. Had it not been for Peter switching to a Spider Stream later, the two could have ended up with egg on their faces.
In the end, Peter won. Shiller didn't even make it to second place, finishing third.
Shiller found that while the mecha stream led by Iron Man was fierce in the early stages, it clearly lost momentum later on. By that time, everyone had large-scale damaging moves, all chainable, where one infection would spread to another. The small robots weren't up to par, and once dead, they took multitudes with them.
Iron Man could summon mechas, but it required spending points, which were incredibly expensive. It's annoying enough that he didn't come with his own upon entering the game, but even more so that it cost money to summon one. Wasn't this practically a life-or-death situation for Shiller?
But on second thought, it made sense. Which of Stark's suits didn't cost a fortune?
And within this deck, there was even what Stark called the "Ultimate Alloy Mecha," "Execution of Justice." This card looked powerful, but it required collecting all previous mechas and gathering two types of alloy from both "Wakanda Crisis" and the "Andromeda Galaxy Disaster", then spending a large sum of money to summon it.
Of course, you could also play with Doctor Strange using the Magic Mecha Stream, but Shiller really had bad luck with cards in the middle and late stages; he couldn't even see a magic card, let alone upgrade to Iron Demon God.
It wouldn't have been such a problem if it had been weak from start to finish, but to have such an advantage in the beginning only to be gradually beaten back was frustrating.
Shiller was angry with the mecha stream, but he knew that getting angry with a bunch of cards was pointless.
So he decided to get angry with the real Stark instead, whipping out his phone and unleashing a torrent of complaints at Stark.
Stark, who was still squabbling with Reed in the lab, was left dumbfounded by the tirade. What happened? Didn't I give the quarterly medical funds on time?
A clueless Stark arrived in the hall to find a group of people playing heatedly.
