"Slay the Spire" is a turn-based card game.

What the player needs to do is to draw cards and play the corresponding cards at the most appropriate time to defeat the monsters guarding each floor.

Climb up the layers and finally defeat the heart boss at the top.

Although it is a card game, in Xu Mu's impression, the difficulty of this game is not low.

The most difficult part is that players need to make reasonable arrangements and combinations and be familiar with the remaining card library in order to pass the level.

If you are not careful, you will be game over when surrounded by powerful monsters.

I estimated the approximate time it would take Li Erdan to complete the dungeon, based on the clearance time of "Contra".

It’s enough to farm Slay the Spire once.

After the idea was finalized, Xu Mu headed to the World Tree without stopping.

The stairs of the World Tree are built around the outside of the tree, winding down layer by layer, like a steep mountain road.

However, after climbing 100 steps, the scene here changed.

The second level is where elite players move.

Compared to the hustle and bustle on the first floor, this place is relatively quiet.

There are still a lot of players, but each one of them seems extremely vigilant.

Even if they occasionally raised their heads to look at each other, the expression in their eyes was no longer friendly. The look between their eyebrows looked more like a scrutiny.

Xu Mu did not rush to the dungeon, but went to the clothing store first and purchased a set of clothing from the inner world.

Wearing a white trench coat and a hawk-beak hood.

It looks like the classic costume from Assassin's Creed.

This can hide his appearance well in the shadows.

In addition to clothing, players can also change their appearance in the exclusive disguise store on the second floor.

Compared with the first layer, the second layer is more like a virtual network.

Everyone here carefully hides their identity.

After completing the preparations, Xu Mu took out the copy card of "Slay the Spire".

Thoughts flowed, the card floated on his fingertips, and immediately turned into a ball of flame and burned away.

His body also turned into a white light and was transported into the copy of "Slay the Spire".

This time the waiting room is no longer a chaotic space.

It is a huge arc-shaped tower.

【You have entered the 0th floor of Slay the Spire!】

Looking around, there are already densely packed players waiting here for a long time.

It's just that everyone is very far apart, and at most they are in groups of twos and threes.

The more conspicuous thing is located in the center of the bottom of the tower, where there is a man wearing a black robe, and there are several young and beautiful women gathered around him.

At this time, this man seemed to be bragging tirelessly about himself.

"Don't worry, follow me this time and I guarantee you will get high-level rewards."

"What? Will the ranking be robbed? Haha, with an expert player like me here, what are you afraid of?"

"I have the additional attribute blessing from the third level of World Tree. In this low-level copy, I say second, no one dares to say first!"

Then, there were the bragging sounds of the girls around him.

"Wow! Boss is great!"

"Following a big boss gives you a sense of security!"

There were quite a few players around who looked at him with envy.

"Damn, the big boss on the third floor..."

"I've been stuck on the second level for I don't know how long. I heard that after I get to the third level, I can receive high-level government subsidies. I can even attend government meetings."

"Yes, if you are favored by the government and even recruited, everything will be smooth sailing in the future."

"Ooooooo, I also want to be surrounded by so many sisters."

People around him were so envious that they almost cried.

Xu Mu just glanced at it and then shifted his gaze.

He has heard of the term "double civil servant".

Every city government will offer an olive branch to players who rush to the third level.

After all, judging from the statistics of Eye of the Blue Sky that day, less than 1% of the players in the city could reach the third level!

These are the elite among the elite. From a practical difficulty perspective, it is even more difficult than getting admitted to a prestigious university.

It is not surprising that he would be recruited into the government.

Not long after, a notification sound hovered above everyone's heads.

【100 players have gathered! Here are the rules of the game!】

[1. Each player initially gets ten cards, including 5 blocking cards and 5 attack cards. Other cards can only be dropped by monsters in the copy. 】

[2. Each player gets 3 bars of energy per round. Using cards will consume energy. Please pay attention to the energy consumption instructions in the upper right corner of the card. 】

[Three, please use any card in your hand reasonably, it will be crucial to your clearance!]

[Four, you can form a team in the dungeon, but the difficulty of the corresponding monsters will also increase. Please consider your choice!]

[Fifth, players can replace cards, there are no exchange restrictions, please replace cards according to personal needs!]

[Sixth, please increase the efficiency of killing enemies as much as possible! The difficulty of the overall monsters in the spire will increase as the total number of kills increases! 】

[Requirements for clearance: Defeat at least 20 enemies! The more monsters you kill, the richer the rewards will be!]

[Player Hostility: Forbidden]

[Mortality rate: lower than average]

[Output: Copy random cards]

[Limited time: 8 hours]

【The game officially begins!】

After the beep ended, a series of sounds of rotating iron ropes came out.

The iron cages that restrained the monsters were lowered from the top of the invisible spire.

The moment it touched the ground, the monster cages opened one after another, and monsters of different shapes broke out of the cages. After roaring a few times, they began to look for players nearby to fight.

Since there were only lit torches burning on the surrounding arc-shaped walls, the environment was relatively dark.

In addition, the space is sealed and there is nowhere to escape.

After the monsters are released, there are only two results, either die here, or kill all the monsters and move forward.

Various factors give people a psychologically depressing and terrifying feeling.

"Knock on me! You don't give me a sword or a sword, you only fight with cards? Are you crazy!"

"I won't play anymore!"

Some players with low psychological quality simply choose to quit the game at the beginning.

For players who have never experienced card battles.

Not having real weapons for self-defense will really make them feel uneasy.

In just a few dozen seconds, about seven or eight players quit.

But more players who enter the dungeon just to seek improvement have already begun to struggle with monsters.

Xu Mu found that on the right side of his sight, there was a long list of player IDs sorted.

The first player in the queue, whose ID is Cheetah, has already reached the third level in just a few dozen seconds.

After him, there are several IDs following his progress bar.

Come to think of it, he was the one who stood in the center of the dungeon at the beginning and acted cool.

There are indeed two brushes.

However, this time Xu Mu did not choose the speed pass method of rushing directly.

He keenly noticed the fifth dungeon rule prompt just now.

[The difficulty of the overall monsters in the tower will increase as the total number of kills increases]

Translated into vernacular, the more monsters die in the tower, the higher the overall difficulty will be!

The drop of cards is closely related to the difficulty of the monster.

In this case, it seems that climbing to a high level is not so necessary!

The closer to the top of the tower, the smaller the range, and the fewer monsters will be refreshed.

"I can play on the first level for a year." Xu Mu made a battle plan.

He glanced sideways and aimed at a red-skinned monster, pulled out the card and walked forward.

Ready to fight!
