Chapter 11: Can I really lose with 17 cards?
Chapter 11: Can I really lose with 17 cards?
Ran Xiaona was very dissatisfied with her crushing defeat in the first game.
"This is my first time playing, so losing is normal. Watch the next round!"
I'm sick of hearing that phrase. You say it in other games too!
This game looks quite interesting; I never knew card games could be played like this!
The voice acting is great too; I'm now really interested in Guan Yu and Sima Yi!
Viewers forgot their initial opinions about the game and became interested in it.
To learn from her previous experience, Ran Xiaona opened the [Generals] section and began learning the skills of other generals.
The viewers were also very happy to learn with her, and they were all immersed in the game "Three Kingdoms Kill".
Before I knew it, I had learned about the generals of various forces in the Three Kingdoms period. Although there were only 25 of them, it was still a good start.
Meanwhile, Lin Lang was also in the live stream, watching the comments and feedback from the viewers.
It has to be said that finding game streamers to promote the game is a great way to get people to know about it. Now, 3000 people in the live stream have learned about the game.
This also means an additional 3000 users!
It's worth noting that Ran Xiaona's live stream usually only has fewer than two thousand viewers, so the increase in viewership demonstrates the popularity of the game "Three Kingdoms Kill"!
And the live stream has only been going on for a short time, and the number of viewers in the live stream is still increasing!
Just then, Chen Nan called.
"Lin Lang! Are you watching the live stream?"
"I'm watching it right now!"
"I really didn't expect that these people nowadays know absolutely nothing about the Three Kingdoms period, even asking what Wei, Shu, and Wu mean! If I hadn't been in the live stream, no one would have explained it to me!"
Lin Lang chuckled upon hearing this: "It's not like the time when you told me that Hua Tuo and Guan Yu couldn't wear the same hat."
"Hey, that was just the beginning. Now I read the books about the Three Kingdoms whenever I have free time, and I already know quite a bit!" Chen Nan said confidently on the other end of the phone.
"Then let me ask you, how many other men's wives did Cao Cao have?"
"Ah... Cao Cao had this kind of quirk..."
"Where do you think NxR Ancestor came from?! Keep learning, there are over 500 more generals to be released!"
"...Really over 500? I thought you were just bragging to Zhang Yang!"
Lin Lang: ....
While the two were chatting, Ran Xiaona entered the game again.
"Brothers, don't underestimate me just because I only have one health point. Watch how I play this round! I refuse to believe I can't win with 17 cards!"
In this game, Ran Xiaona's identity is Lü Meng, and the general she chose is [Lü Meng].
His skill is quite unique: [Self-Discipline: If you have not used or played a "Kill" card during your play phase, you can skip your discard phase!]
This skill works well with his identity as a traitor; as long as he doesn't participate in combat, he can accumulate a lot of cards.
"Family, just wait until I get my hands on the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, then I'll show you a quadra kill!"
[This general is a bit overpowered. If I ever see Lü Meng again, I'll immediately label him a traitor and kill him!]
[This "forgetting home in pleasure" strategy is useless against him! He can just keep hoarding cards!]
[It's just that fate saw her losing all the time, so it's normal for her to win one last time!]
Ran Xiaona didn't care what the comments said; she already felt that the game was over!
Sure enough, in the next round of drawing cards, he directly drew a Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
The hunt has begun!
Equip the [Zhuge Repeating Crossbow] and begin the slaughter!
For her first target, Ran Xiaona chose Xiao Qiao, who was closest to her, and initiated a duel!
Just as she thought she had secured a quadra kill, Xiao Qiao activated her skill, Heavenly Fragrance!
[Tianxiang: When you take damage, you may discard a Heart card and choose another character. If you do so, you transfer the damage to that character.]
The damage was directly transferred to Cai Wenji, who had only one point of health remaining.
Good news: Ran Xiaona has eliminated her first target!
Bad news: It was Cai Wenji who died.
Because Cai Wenji's skill is [Heartbreak: When you die, the character who killed you loses all their general skills!]
rough!
And just like that, Ran Xiaona's 17 cards could no longer be kept... With only one drop of blood left, she became someone else's possession!
[Hahaha, the streamer found the one and only way to lose out of ten thousand ways to win!]
I really thought he was going to win; it's clear even fate can't save her!
[Here's a joke for you all: Ran Xiaona is a tech-savvy streamer!]
Ran Xiaona's smile had vanished; in two hours, she hadn't won a single game.
Regardless of which camp she's on, there's only one outcome.
A total of 17 cards!
Ran Xiaona's chest heaved with anger, and the viewers not only had a feast for the eyes but also couldn't stop laughing at this scene.
The barrage of comments mocking her was endless.
However, there was some good news: seeing her like this, Lin Lang sent her off in another plane.
"Thanks to the boss for the plane! The boss is so generous!"
Ran Xiaona smiled as she looked at the comments, but the next second, the screen on her computer made her eyes widen in shock!
The number of viewers in the live stream has already exceeded 5!
She also successfully squeezed into the top 20 of the game live streaming panel!
This is a level of popularity she has never had before. She never expected that her popularity would increase so much just by streaming "Three Kingdoms Kill" today!
The live chat was filled with questions like, "What's the name of this game?", "Could the streamer introduce it?", and "Who are the characters in this game?"
The endless stream of comments made her feel an unprecedented level of excitement!
Her earlier disappointment vanished instantly, and Ran Xiaona quickly changed the title of her livestream to "【Three Kingdoms Kill Technical Streamer!】"
Ran Xiaona took a deep breath and, amidst the barrage of "Let's play one more round!" comments, continued the game!
Meanwhile, Lin Lang was lying on the bed, watching the live stream's popularity soar and feeling overjoyed.
It seems everyone has felt the charm of this game!
This game is free-to-play, which means players can experience it without any cost!
This user conversion rate is unprecedentedly high!
This is only the first day. If the hype continues, the game "Three Kingdoms Kill" will definitely exceed everyone's expectations!
"Hey! Be gentle!" Lin Lang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, frowned, turned around, and scolded, "Didn't you say you studied massage?!"
Behind him was none other than Shen Qi.
Not long after Ran Xiaona started her live stream, she came to find Lin Lang, saying that Lin Lang hadn't had enough fun at the spa last time, and that she had come specifically to provide him with services this time.
Faced with such a good opportunity, Lin Lang certainly wouldn't refuse.
And so, Lin Lang watched the live stream while enjoying Shen Qi's massage.
Shen Qi withdrew her hands: "This is an acupoint I learned from someone else. It can improve kidney function. If it hurts, then forget it."
Ah~ It's good for protecting your kidneys!
That's all!
Lin Lang turned his head back: "Okay, you can continue!"
A mischievous smile appeared on Shen Qi's face. She sniffed the air and continued massaging Lin Lang.
She knew that no boy would refuse that!
Just then, Chen Nan called Lin Lang again.
"Hey Lin Lang! Go check out Zita's stream, he's playing 'Three Kingdoms Kill' too!"
As a top streamer in the gaming category on the DH live streaming platform, Zitai attracts up to 70 viewers every day!
Imagine how much buzz this would generate if it were a live stream of "Three Kingdoms Kill"!
"Hiss... Is that so... Then I'll go take a look... Hiss!" Lin Lang lay on the bed, enduring the pain as he replied to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan also sensed something strange about it.
What are you doing?
"Ah! It's nothing!"
Something's not right! Something's extremely wrong!
What could possibly cause such a sound?
After thinking for a while, Chen Nan came to an answer.
Are you and Shen Qi together?
Lin Lang: "How did you know?"
Chen Nan's face darkened.
How would I know? Can't I tell from the voice?
Can you please not answer my calls when you're doing this kind of thing?
"You two be careful... the game is about to get going, take precautions!" After saying that, Chen Nan quickly hung up the phone; he didn't want to hear any more.
Lin Lang: ? ? ?
After hanging up the phone, Lin Lang didn't bother to explain and directly opened Zita's live stream.
Having just finished his previous game, he asked the viewers in the chat what they wanted to see.
"That's all for today's 'Cyber Future' game. Next up is PE class. What games would you like to see? Type them in the comments!"
As expected of a top streamer's livestream, the chat was constantly filled with a dense barrage of comments.
Among these comments, the game mentioned most often is "Three Kingdoms Kill"!
[Hey dog, go play Three Kingdoms Kill! Ran Xiaona next door is already addicted to it, it's so much fun!]
[Three Kingdoms Kill? What game is that? Judging from the name, it sounds like just another game with a different shell!]
[This is different! This game is unlike any other historical simulation game; it's not just a rehash!]
[I never knew the history of the Great Xia Dynasty had this side!]
[It's a new release from Langyu Studio! Go download it now!]
The team also noticed this, and most of the comments on the screen were about "Three Kingdoms Kill" and Langyu Studio.
To meet everyone's needs, Zitai agreed and prepared to spend money to buy it and try it out.
However, he found that he was worrying about spending money unnecessarily.
"Free? That's interesting!"
As a top streamer, Zita wouldn't discuss sensitive topics, so he didn't say much about free games.
He also wanted to see what kind of surprise this free-to-play game, with its high demand, would bring him!
While the game was downloading, Zita clicked on the promotional CGs for each general on the official website.
He had originally planned to just relax and enjoy the game, but even after it was downloaded, he didn't stop and chose to continue watching!
Each general's CG in the game represents a story behind him!
Guan Yu's solo journey of a thousand miles, Liu Bei's oath of brotherhood in the Peach Garden, Zhuge Liang's borrowing arrows with straw boats, Zhao Yun's seven charges in and out of enemy lines, Dian Wei's heroic protection of his lord...
These CGs captivated him, drawing him into the story of the Three Kingdoms, from which he remained engrossed for a long time.
"Just look at these game CGs, I'm definitely playing this game!"
"Wow, the history of our Great Xia Dynasty is so brilliant! I feel like I wasted all those history lessons!"
[The CG production is so good, it feels like I'm watching a movie!]
Me too! When will we be able to make a TV series or movie of the same quality?!
[If this were released, I'd be the first to support it! I think it's better than the superhero movies from the US!]
[Don't even mention history class, Dog-like guy! With your education level, you probably wasted all your time in school!]
[Go play now, it's all downloaded!]
The emotions that had just begun to build up were instantly shattered by these viewers. He cleared his throat and prepared to experience "Three Kingdoms Kill"!
Lin Lang had been watching the whole time, and when he saw Zitai's comments on "Three Kingdoms Kill", he didn't hesitate to send a plane as a gift.
"Thanks to the owner of Langyu Island for sending the airplane! This game must be from the owner's studio!"
[The boss is being foolish! With this money, he should have turned these CGs into a movie!]
[Yeah, why would you give gifts to a dog like that! This is a charity livestream, no gifts allowed!]
Our livestream focuses on providing companionship, not rewarding viewers with virtual coins!
