What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Chapter 114-113- Lake Cumming Festival

The so-called "furnace card", as the name suggests, is a card game similar to poker.

Players can build different decks by themselves, and then play the character cards they want to go into battle at the beginning of each round. After playing the cards, the character cards have to 'rest' for one round before they can 'attack'.

Every time you attack and knock out the opponent's cards or the player's health, you will also deduct health equal to the attack power.

Players have a total of thirty drops of blood. If they run out, they will be considered a failure.

Of course, in the 'furnace card' game, you can also use auxiliary cards such as 'player skill cards' and 'equipment cards' to cooperate with character cards to produce various effects.

Just like a meat pigeon-like game, it is full of infinite possibilities and infinite card combinations.

In order to allow data such as 'blood volume', 'attack', and 'equipment' to change in real time, and to identify the authenticity of the cards, a special technology was used when making these cards.

A swirl-like pattern is engraved on the back of the card, and a specific magic circuit is engraved inside. It can automatically absorb magic power from nature to maintain the magic circuit inside.

Just like a solar panel powers a chip.

As soon as the two cards touch each other, the data can sense each other and change.

A small 'card drawing blind box' has also been introduced. Both parties put marked cards into it, shuffle them, and then send them out to simulate the function of random card drawing.

In this way, the desired effect can be achieved.

The rules are simple, you can get started at any time, a single game doesn’t take long, and the card pack only costs 5 Bronze Eagles!Buy a pack of blind box draws and get it for free!
As long as you play one game, you will be deeply involved, and then you will go to the "Hearth Card" themed tavern to buy "card packs" to get more powerful cards, and then fight with other people and crush them!
The loser is not willing to be outdone, so he will spend a lot of money to buy card packs, even limited edition card packs!

In this way, a lot of golden dragons, silver wolves, and bronze eagles will fall into Duomi's pocket.

That's right!

A groundbreaking card game like 'Hearth Card' was naturally not something that the natives here could come up with. It was naturally Duomi's idea.

He pioneered the first-level crest that could absorb magic power and engraved it on the back of the card. He asked his family's scientific magicians to stay up late to design the magic circuit and even set up a production assembly line.

Then it was handed over to Morey to run the operation and pointed out a clear way to open a theme pub.

After a period of publicity, the popularity it brought to the world far exceeded Duomi's imagination. In just three days, it had already dragged Edward and Argyle into the trap, and even Shia, who didn't like playing games, had already fallen into the trap. All heard a little bit.

Snapped……

Edward threw the cards on the sofa and stopped playing:

"Why do these little flying insects of yours keep hitting me? They die before they can even move! Isn't this too frustrating?"

Haha, how could Edward, who had just entered the game, be able to defeat his 'designer'? Of course, he could completely defeat him with his understanding of the game and carefully matched decks without any suspense.

"You know nothing of the power of druids."

After Argyle watched this game, Domi’s cool moves seemed to have opened the door to a new world for him. He couldn’t wait to challenge Domi with his new routine:
"Practice more and get out of the way. Domi and I will do it!"

So, the three-hour drive passed quietly in a pleasant way.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Gresa took out a small umbrella decorated with lace and said to the 'internet-addicted teenagers':

"Okay, you three, you can come down now."

"Mom, don't we have an umbrella? The sun is very hot." Edward couldn't help but ask after seeing several ladies holding small umbrellas.

"Edward, you should really learn etiquette. This is a woman's prerogative. Boys should not be afraid of being exposed~"

After all the ladies got off the bus, Edward complained quietly:

"What is this? Discrimination... If I become the king one day, I will definitely press this damn rule to my grave."

Although the sun is shining, it is not hot. If you are not afraid of your skin getting tanned, it is still very warm. Otherwise, Duomi would not lie down on a chair to bask in the sun.

Everyone walked towards the interior along the forest path. This path was paved by the residents of the next town and led directly to Lake Cumming.

After passing through the tree-lined path, the scenery suddenly opened up.

Standing on the hill, you can see the vast scenery of Cumming Lake from top to bottom. It is like a mirror embedded in the earth, clear and transparent without impurities.

Beside the lake is a flat, green grassland.

The wind blows from the other side of the lake, just enough to reach here, and brings with it the unique coolness of passing through the lake. It is indeed a suitable place and season for a picnic.

When they came to the grass, many small town residents had already arrived, most of them as a family unit. They laid out picnic blankets and took out the food prepared in advance. It was a beautiful thing for the family to have a picnic happily.

"Without further ado, let's get started." Gresa suggested.

As a boy, this is the best thing to do. Just leave delicate things like this to the women.

Rosa, Sia, Aiwei and Gresa each took a corner of the tablecloth and spread it on the soft grass, while Mrs. Greenville took out boxes of pastries and delicacies from the picnic box.

Take off your shoes and have a happy picnic on it.

The pastries brought were all handmade by Chef Michelson. Each pastry was as delicious as expected, and everyone ate it with gusto.

When they were almost done eating, Duomi suddenly discovered that the picnic box he brought was obviously too big. Even though the pastries Ai Wei's mother took out were already covered with tablecloths, most of them were still inside.

Are you afraid of wasting so much?
Or is it the tradition of the festival?Want to throw extra meals into the lake to feed the fish?
He asked this question curiously.

Gracea didn't explain much, but motioned to Domi to look around.

"around?"

He looked around and saw many gray-faced children wearing tattered clothes looking at them cautiously. The oldest among them was about 12 years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old.

They have one thing in common - thinness.

Duomi recognized their identities at just one glance:

"Children living in slums?"

"So these extra pastries are for them?" Gresa nodded slowly and waved to the children. They looked happy and immediately swarmed over with their younger brothers and sisters.

They looked chaotic, but when they got closer, they lined up politely and took boxes of picnic pastries from Gresa's hand.

It wasn't until she finished posting and received countless sincere thanks that she explained the reason:
"You know the purpose of the Kamin Lake Festival, but do you know the story behind the festival?"

Domi and the other children sat obediently in front of Gresa, like students listening to the teacher telling a story. In fact, they were really listening to the story.

They all shook their heads. This was the first time Domi had even heard of the festival, let alone the story behind it.

"Then let me tell you about it slowly..."

"Hundreds of years ago, the emperor had just defeated the old dynasty and a new country was established. At that time, everything was in ruins and all kinds of materials were scarce. At that time, you could see people starving to death for lack of food while walking on the road. people."

"But this has not happened in this small town. Even the children in the slums, who have no money, no support, and no ability to work, rarely starve to death."

"The reason is a local fisherman in his seventies, his name is Kaming."

“At the beginning of autumn that year, Cuming took fishing tools, got on a boat, and fished in the lake. At that time, there were the most fish and the fattest meat.”

"He worked from morning to night, relying on his sophisticated skills and rich experience, and naturally caught a lot of fish. At first, he sold most of the fish to make money, leaving only a little for himself. But right after On his way home, he found many people fainting from hunger on the roadside, and there were even a few children burying their heads in the garbage pile, just looking for leftovers."

"Holding the cold money bag in his hand, looking at these poor children who were still exuding warmth, he thought like this - he is a lonely old man, what is the use of all this money?"

"So he gave most of the fish he caught the next day to the children who were about to starve to death."

"But the food he distributed alone could not fill the huge gap in food demand, so he worked harder to fish..."

"Autumn passes quickly. Other fishermen make a lot of money by selling fish. At least they don't have to worry about getting through the winter. But Cumming, who is supposed to be the fisherman who earns the most, only earns the first half of the autumn. Small bags of money.”

"Everyone was very puzzled and asked him why he did this."

"He said that he was not able to save his son who died on the battlefield, but he was able to save these poor children who did not want to starve to death."

"People who barely have enough food and clothing ridicule him for overestimating his capabilities. He is the only one. No matter how much fish he catches, he can't save all the children."

"But Cumming was not discouraged. Even in the deep winter when the lake was frozen, he would cut through the thick ice and fish out the fish. Even if the falling snow piled up on his gray hair , and he still persisted, because he knew that if he caught one more fish, he could save one more child's life."

"The children who were under his care also advised him not to do this anymore. Cumming is already over [-] years old. He works so hard and doesn't have enough food or clothing to keep him warm. It's easy for him to get involved."

"But Cumming is still like this..."

"The snow was very heavy that morning. Kaming felt his body was a little hot and his head was dizzy. In his blurred eyes, he seemed to see an aqua-blue fairy rising up onto the ice."

"Others only know that Cumming does not overestimate his own abilities. Only she, the daughter of the lake, who has witnessed everything, knows what a noble spirit Cuming has and what great things he is doing."

"She offers Cumming a deal - offer his life to the leprechaun in exchange for enough fish to keep the children alive through the harsh winter."

"Cumming agreed without hesitation, without any hesitation, because he knew that he would not die soon."

“Finally, on a sunny noon, Cumming died on the frozen lake. When people found him, he was still holding the fishing rod that had saved countless children tightly in his hand, with hills piled beside him. Like a live fish.”

“That day, children from the entire town came to see him off. They were all starved to the skin and bones, but they managed to survive because of Cumming’s love. From now on, they will also survive the harsh winter because of Cumming’s dedication. "

"It was Cumming's death that awakened people's kindness that had been dormant for a long time due to the war. They took over Cuming's fishing rod. In every harvest season from now on, the residents of the town will spontaneously distribute the harvest to the poor and powerless. children and named the lake after him in memory of Cumming.”

“The current summer festival is to wish for a good harvest in the fall so that no more children will go hungry.”

"In order to inherit and carry forward Kaming's spirit, anyone who can spare some effort will make a few extra portions when they come over for a picnic and distribute them to the children in the slums. That was what happened just now."

"So that's it... I have to say, Mr. Cumming is really great." Domi did not hesitate to show his respect.

At any time and in any place, people who can dedicate themselves to others are worthy of respect.

"Yes," Gresa looked at the clear lake, "the broken world is because of people like this who are mending it, and more people survive because of them."

She rubbed the children's furry heads and said softly:
"I hope you can all learn something from this story, so that my story is not in vain."

"Okay, we've almost eaten, why not go boating on the lake."

"Row a boat? Great!" Edward yelled, "Xia Aiwei Rosa, let's have a race. My eldest brother Domi and I will team up to see who can row to the finish line first!"

"Hey, I won't lead you to be such a scumbag!" Ai Wei hated this kind of unreasonable competition.

"No matter what, Domi should be left alone! He is as strong as an animal!" Sia also complained.

Domi shook his head and smiled, then put on his shoes and followed.

Seeing the children playing carefree, Gresa felt very satisfied.

Mrs. Greenville Lucia gently stroked Gresha's back, sat next to her, and watched them play together:
"It seems like childhood was just yesterday. Do you still remember that Carlos and Mitchell were sitting here with us like this, listening to Uncle Ernest (Carlos' father) tell this story? In the blink of an eye, even Our kids are already this old.”

"Yes, time flies so fast. Sometimes, I really don't want this beautiful moment to pass by easily..."

Lake Cumming.

In order to make the festival more interesting, there is actually a specially set up boating competition.

Rowing from the shore to the buoy at the end of the field of view, and then rowing back to the shore counts as one round trip. Under the witness of the referee, the winner will also receive a winning badge issued by the "Lakeside Town" government and a Fresh big fish.

The rewards are not valuable, but they are very meaningful. They are just for celebration.

The teams are also divided.

To be fair, Edward, Argyle, and Rosa form the team of "brothers and sisters work together to break gold".

There are many animals, one person is worth two people, Mi, Xia and Ai Wei, forming a team of "Old enemies have to fight in the same boat in the end".

If there are two teams with magicians, they can use magic and various means during the game, but they cannot attack or hinder the other party. Other than that, there are no restrictions.

When the team of 'brothers and sisters work together to break gold' meets the team of 'old enemies who end up fighting on the same boat', it must be a battle between dragons and tigers...
