Chapter 91 Treasure House

"I seem to have forgotten to ask what the card of death is?"

On the way to the headquarters treasury, Chen Qi muttered to himself after realizing it.

It was because the previous communication with Zhong Xingchen was too shocking and contained too much information.

When he remembered it again, the best time to communicate had passed.

He pretended to mutter to himself at this time, but Lin Biyun, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, heard it clearly.

"What is the card of death?"

"Why haven't I heard of this term?"

Lin Biyun suspected that the 7 of Hearts was deliberately saying it to her, but she really had never heard of this concept before.

"Don't you know it either?"

Chen Qi was quite confused. He had tried Kolos before, and as a betrayer, he didn't know the card of death at all.

I didn't expect that Lin Biyun, as a lawful person, didn't know it either.

So where did Jomo Yachris know it from?

If this guy hadn't died because of this, Chen Qi would have really thought he was fooled.

"What are the rules of the game in the King's Game?"

Chen Qi, who didn't give up, changed the way he asked.

Strictly speaking, most of Chen Qi's knowledge about the King's Game comes from Jomoa Chris's notes.

He felt it necessary to reconfirm and update it.

That guy's level is too low for him now.

······

"Game rules?"

"As far as I know, there is only one real game rule, that is the Judgment Day every five years, which is irresistible to any player."

Lin Biyun answered very seriously and affirmatively, but this is very different from Chen Qi's previous understanding.

"There is only one game rule in the game?"

"Then what about the swallowing and fusion of cards?"

"What about the promotion and development of skills?"

If what Lin Biyun said was true, Chen Qi suddenly realized that he might have been misled by the diary.

"I only know that the original [King's Game] did have only this one rule, and this rule was most likely created by His Majesty the King."

"But the game ultimately requires players to participate. The game itself has no rules, but players can create them."

"Many so-called game rules are agreed upon by players."

"If you have enough strength, you can make your words follow the law and let other players abide by it consciously, so you have created a game rule."

"Do you know? Captain Zhong Xingchen will die in the next round of the game."

Lin Biyun's explanation made Chen Qi think, and then he thought of his own situation.

Could the so-called card of death be a game rule created by a powerful player himself?

Jormoya Chris violated his rules, so he was killed.

And the creation of this rule must be related to the fusion of cards.

······

"What are the default rules in the game now?"

"Why do you know that Zhong Xingchen will die in the next round of the game?"

Chen Qi felt that this trip to the headquarters was really right.

How can you truly participate in the game and truly understand the King's Game without going deep into the player group?

"If you still can't become an apostle after four rounds of games, you must die in the fifth round."

"This game rule has been tacitly acknowledged by His Majesty the King and the top apostles, and it is the most powerful unspoken rule in the game."

"I was wondering why I didn't meet a player who had experienced 5 rounds of games, and this is the answer."

Lin Biyun's tone was a little low, everything in the game was not what she thought before.

Zhong Xingchen took good care of her, but she didn't expect to die in the next round of the game.

The captain must be desperate now!

Unless a miracle happens, he can become an apostle in this round.

But this is almost impossible, and Zhong Xingchen himself has given up.

"Does the four rounds of games have to make an apostle?"

"Then will the death of the Prime Minister be related to this unspoken rule?"

Although Chen Qi didn't know the deep inside story of Crozer Zeke's death.

But since this unspoken rule has been tacitly acknowledged by the king and the top players, he, a mere non-combat player, can't be exempted.

No one would be willing to wait for death, and Crozer Zeke must be the same.

He must have done something to cause the king's dissatisfaction.

This unspoken rule is not applicable to Chen Qi now, after all, he has just joined the game.

······

"Some other rules in the game, because they are not endorsed by the king and all the apostles, are basically done by the players themselves."

"For example, the situation regarding card fusion is the most chaotic."

"The betrayers have gone crazy in order to fuse the apostle's weapons."

"Some people firmly believe that a specific combination of numbers can greatly increase the probability of fusing the apostle's weapons."

"Since the cards are no different from ordinary people's playing cards, there are many players who are obsessed with it and try to apply various rules of playing cards to the game."

"It's okay if it doesn't work. If it succeeds by luck, the later ones will believe it, and then a new card fusion rule will appear."

"There are three widely circulated card fusion rules now."

"The first one is to firmly believe in the successful experience of the predecessors."

"Apostles will also die. Most players who have obtained the core cards of the past apostles will go back to the old ways."

"They think this has the highest success rate."

"The second type is 4 consecutive cards of the same suit, or 4 consecutive cards of different suits."

"For example, spades 2345, or hearts 2, spades 3, diamonds 4, clubs 5."

"The third type is the same number cards of different suits. For example, hearts 7, spades 7, diamonds 7, clubs 7."

"These three paths are most popular among powerful players because players have successfully merged them before."

"Especially those old players who are stuck in the fourth round, they will desperately try to grab every chance of survival."

"The cards you mentioned are most likely the tricks made by some old players."

In Lin Biyun's narration, players can only merge cards three times.

The perfect combination of four cards can create an apostle's weapon.

But this is not the pinnacle of the player's promotion.

After completing the apostle's weapon, the player will have to go through a day of judgment.

If they can survive the day of judgment, the player can use the shuffle mechanism before the start of a new round of the game to re-evolve the apostle's weapon.

The original Apostle Arms consisted of 4 cards, but with the help of the game mechanism of shuffling, players can transfer the ability of the Apostle Arms to their core cards.

In this way, players can truly control the Apostle Arms and become the top players.

So at the beginning of each new round of the game, the number of cards is always 54.

······

"It turns out that the so-called cards that must die are just some players who want to play a monopoly."

"For example, an old player, he firmly believes in the third fusion rule, so he hunted other players with the number 7 for 4 consecutive rounds of games. But he failed to achieve perfect fusion every time and could not construct the Apostle Arms."

"In this way, the card with the number 7 is naturally regarded as a card that must die in the eyes of players who know the inside story."

"Because the new players who have just joined the game can never beat the old players who have gone through several rounds of games."

"In the final analysis, it's just a bunch of old trash who bully newcomers!"

After figuring out everything, Chen Qi suddenly became clear in his mind. He is not afraid of any challenge, but he is afraid of the unknown.

As long as the reason is understood, there will be a way to deal with it.

Since the opponent has not started to act yet, it means that it has not entered the [Harvest Period].

In this way, he has a chance to move and survive.

According to the player strength classification described by Lin Biyun, the person behind the scenes can only be LV4.

Because the symbol of LV5 is the birth of the Apostle Arms.

The pinnacle of player strength is LV6.

This is the strength level of the King's Game.

Chen Qi can now step into LV3 at any time. The gap between him and the opponent is far from reaching the level of despair.

Humph, it is still unknown who will win.

······

Lin Biyun didn't know that her few words cleared the confusion for Chen Qi.

Under her leadership, Chen Qi finally arrived at the treasure house of the Orderly.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qi's guards were extremely strict here, and it was even a small military camp.

"According to the routine in the novel, shouldn't an old man from the Guards be assigned to guard the gate?"

Unfortunately, the reality is that there are only 12 people left in the Orderly, and everyone is busy and running around.

Who would be so bored to guard a pile of useless waste paper?

If someone volunteered, it must be because they are afraid of death and retreat at the last minute.

The reason why so many people are assigned to guard is just to prevent the knowledge from spreading to the people.

If players want to obtain all kinds of knowledge inside, there will always be a way to do it.

They are not stupid enough to rob here.

Lin Biyun obviously comes here often and enters directly by scanning her face.

Chen Qi is also not nervous about entering a military stronghold. To put it in a more exaggerated way, it will take him less than two minutes to overturn this place.

Under the leadership of Lin Biyun, Chen Qi passed through several secret doors and finally saw the last [Treasure House].

It is just an ordinary underground safe, but it has been transformed into a reading room.

Chen Qi even suspected that this place was used to store some heavy weapons in the past.

"Read it yourself!"

"If you want to take a copy, copy it yourself."

"I'm not interested in these, so I won't accompany you."

After saying this, Lin Biyun turned and left.

In the empty reading room, only Chen Qi was left.

Chen Qi looked around and found that there were not many materials on the bookshelf, only a few dozen file bags in total.

Chen Qi opened one at random, and it contained some introductions about the alchemy school.

"It's a pity, it's just some general things, and most of them are just rumors."

"It's better than nothing!"

This information should be from a player, probably something he wrote down when he was reading here.

According to the description in the information, the alchemy school is divided into two categories, namely the Creation School and the Life Alchemy School.

The Creation School pursues the refining of various powerful extraordinary instruments, and they are good at energy shaping and material reorganization.

As for the Life Alchemy School, it has always been very mysterious and rarely appears in the circle of the inner world.

It is said that they are good at human alchemy and believe that the human body has many deficiencies, which should be compensated one by one to achieve perfect life.

But this is only the theory they publicly declared. According to gossip, these guys have been studying how to create life behind the scenes.

From ancient times to the present, this faction itself has been shrouded in mystery.

The information in Chen Qi's hand did not contain specific knowledge of the alchemy school.

But he did not gain nothing, at least he understood a few concepts.

For example, Lingyun and Lingsu.
