Ascension Journey

Generally speaking, in a relatively fair chess and card game, unless it is a lucky one, it is completely impossible for a novice to defeat an experienced player who is familiar with the rules and techniques.

In the Jade Clan card duel game with rough rules, the gap between old and new players is even greater—

Because in the transition from the basic card group "human card" shared by all players to the private "elf card" with a deep personal imprint, the "kouhu" component is very heavy.

But this nonsense is not a random fabrication.

"Human", "Cow", "Wind", "Sun", etc., or elements that can be objectively recognized in reality, or recognized by all game contacts, are the basis of human cards, just like a pair of cards that just came out of the factory -Perhaps the overall content will change, but the conceptual positioning of its framework remains the same.

In the environment of different game rules, the new concepts such as "pair", "straight", "flush", "bomb", etc., which are constructed from basic elements, are the so-called "elf cards".

Lumi's fantasy elf "Ox-Headed Axe" was derived from the three human cards of cow, man and axe in this way.

The key points and subtleties are also in this link-

It's not that you can just take a few human cards and you can come out with elves, but what kind of combination of basic elements can successfully summon a higher-level fantasy elves, this kind of thing is completely novice. There is no way to know.

If you can spend time, energy and even a heavy price to try, gradually gain experience and strength, and successfully summon the elves, only a game contact can be regarded as an official entry.

And when you can extract the power of your own fantasy elves, create additional elves cards that do not belong to the human card group, and reach the point where you can use them directly without basic elements, you can be called a veteran.

Obviously, Lumi is still a little far from the veteran.

After listening to the rules and starting the game, Shan Lin frowned deeply—he was not worried about winning or losing.

The basic quality of the mountain forest as a demon far exceeds that of Lumi. Its meticulous observation, keen reaction, and quick thinking have reached a field that Lumi could not imagine.

Even by reading only the slight change in Lumi's expression, he has a way of dismantling his intention and the card sequence, and destroying it at the card level of the human world - but he did not choose to do so in order to find out more details.

In addition, this game whose rules are in the primitive and simple stage, after entering the dark contract mode with its own supernatural power, is not so fair in itself, or it is fair on another level—

The realization of fantasy spirits is a matter of great physical and mental load. The more powerful and higher-ranking card spirits are, the stricter the summoning conditions, the greater the sacrifices required and the greater the burden it brings.

Skilled like a deer, he can only select the bull-headed axe from the low-level elves that he has come into contact with. He relies on this elves, who are at the peak of the same level of combat power, to maintain the scene suppressing power, hoping to quickly defeat the leader— He doesn't even have the energy to support multiple low elves at the same time.

However...

Lumi's physical and mental quality is still far from Shanlin's battle-hardened demon.

Not to mention that there is also cheating when the King of Crimson shoots directly - see through the back of the card, doomed to draw, absolutely lucky, secret exchange...

Anyway, after the first discovery that the power of the stand-in would not be detected by Lumi's supernatural power, the mountains and forests didn't matter at all.

Under the real mental and sexual pressure brought by the dark game, Lumi gradually became stooped and stupefied, but Shanlin began to think about things that had nothing to do with the confrontation in front of him—

For example, why are the current rules of a card game with a well-established supernatural power system so rudimentary? A tester who dares to tease even the local red line will not be able to figure out a rule of the game, right? There must be something worth figuring out here.

Shan Lin is still thinking, but the King of Crimson floating behind him has already seen some flavor—

"...Perhaps, the so-called bull-headed axe is the embodiment of the envy of some people for the strength and endurance of bulls among all the game contacts?"

After observing the time node of this night several times back and forth, the King of Crimson seems to have realized something.

So he raised his perspective and looked at the follow-up handling of the matter by Shanlin after tonight's dark duel, which is located downstream of the time axis—

Of course, the victorious Shanlin learned the relevant inside story from Lumi, and after punishing him with neither light nor severe, he promulgated regulations related to gambling, and explicitly banned such games originating from the Jade tribe. progress.

However, taking into account the current research on the only "conspicuous and not dying" supernatural force, and the role of the spiritual restraint contract in the management and control of the "sub-base" destined to open in the future, Shanlin still maintains a small-scale verification duel. group of people—

The level of productivity determines the size and population limit of a city, and the resources of a place are always limited. If you want to continue to develop, it is inevitable to build a second and third city.

However, the sinister environment outside has determined that it is very difficult to maintain a stable connection between the two cities. Even if we work **** expensive roads and transits, it is difficult to completely avoid the city's self-indulgent island state.

The mountains and forests that want to continue to develop must naturally try their best to avoid their own forces subtly split into independent city-states, so whether the dark duel that can bring the effect of spiritual contract is used depends on the research and the actual situation. two.

In this regard, the King of Crimson, who retracted his gaze and moved to other nodes, commented: "I didn't realize the crisis when I first participated in the dark duel, and even had the idea of ​​using it. If you don't die, who will die?"

The King Crimson, who has a broad vision, has clearly realized the mechanism behind the duel game after carefully observing through the carrier, and even roughly guessed what the "conspicuous" standard is—

The secret lies in the laws of construction of fantasy spirits.

Sort out some relevant known information—

1. The thinking and cognition of the local human beings in this trial world has "power", and in the absence of interference from other observers, this power will be out of control and manifest under environmental stimulation.

2. This kind of interference power based on soul consciousness is currently only reflected in human beings, and cannot directly act on human beings themselves, but can have indirect effects through the overall environment, third-party things, and spiritual levels.

3. The experience of encountering Zerg in the gray fog in the mountains proves that the tester has an alternative indigenous identity under the intervention of infinite space, and has the same characteristics as the local humans - it is not yet sure that this "certification" exists in the tester itself. It still exists on an objective server, and the result after the disguise is removed is unknown.

4. Several distant human races that died silently because of their power beyond the norm, proved the existence of observers who determined the "conspicuous" standard, and marked the insurmountable red line of the testers in this world.

5. There is a subtle difference between the supernatural power of the "card duel", whose performance is close to the red line, but has no signs of demise, and the group of warriors who also have similar signs and whose performances are constantly surpassing the limits of the human body. common ground.

6. The local mysterious power caused by the duel game is not a high-dimensional interference force, at least not high enough to interfere with the power of the Crimson King.

......

"If you think about it carefully, the mysterious manifestation beyond common sense is certainly power, but how can the knowledge and social system beyond the old state not be a 'conspicuous supernatural force'?"

After some thought, the King Crimson, who is stepping into the future, has grasped the key.

"The most important difference between the variables that perish and those that do not perish is the degree of acceptance and cognition of the contact person, and who has the ultimate dominance and control."

The social progress and development brought about by mountains and forests is certainly supernatural, but if the mountains and forests are gone, will these things disappear? Will his clan return to its originality?

If there is no external distortion, it is impossible!

The knowledge that has been mastered, the system that has been established, the mind that has been awakened... All variables have been adapted by the ethnic group and become an inseparable part of them.

Soldiers will not question that the strength they have exercised is abnormal and does not belong to them.

Therefore, it is not "conspicuous" that they continue to challenge the limits of the human body and gain power beyond inherent cognition on the martial arts field.

Because the observer who determines the "conspicuous" standard has a high probability of holding the same position as such an ordinary human being, or even the collective subconscious of a certain kind of human beings - this is also the same as the characteristics of this world.

This inference is easily verified from the question behind the card duel game -

All changes brought about by mountains and forests are recognized and accepted by their clansmen, and the existence of mountains and forests does not affect the use of such changes by their clansmen, and mountains and forests are only indirect beneficiaries of their changes, and do not directly lead or control this "power". "permission".

The rules exposed by card dueling games are also similar.

The "getting started" of the duel game is not difficult, and the contact person can easily understand and accept its rules, and the part that introduces supernatural power is built in the background of the world familiar to local humans.

The construction process of the phantom elf is very telling. Lumi's bull-headed axe is not only based on his personal fantasy of strong warriors, but also needs the potential common understanding and approval of the rest of the game contacts.

In short, as a genie concept, the "lightning-fast cliff eagle" is far easier to construct and accept than the "lightning-fast turtle"—if all game contacts believe that the turtle is the representative of fast, then the "lightning turtle" "The possibility of appearing as a genie card will greatly increase.

This kind of game is closely related to the spirit of the participants, the rules are promoted by local humans and gradually enriched, and it has always emphasized a certain level of "fairness" and "equivalent exchange". Create invisible connections.

Shanlin was finally killed, largely because he didn't realize at this moment that he had become part of the power system of this game, and he thought he was safe and continued to deepen—

Some details of Lumi's incident have been vaguely reflected. The more deeply involved in the game, the greater the impact of the game on the participants.

If you can't summon a spirit with the ability to actually interfere to prove the power of the game, the duel veteran can't even have any real influence on the ignorant who have never participated—

In the process of contracting with the elite warriors one by one, Lumi constantly displayed the bull-headed axe, read out the rules of the game, and explained the power of the elf. UU reading www.uukanshu.com originally meant to incorporate outsiders into the system, improve expressiveness, and lighten the burden. .

From this point of view, the way of existence of the observer is more inclined to the common cluster, and the possibility of its observation method is based on the human being itself - if not for some kind of internal general certification, the bull-headed axe summoned by Lumi would have long since been in the Too conspicuous and tragic in the eyes of non-participants.

So, as long as a part of the human race recognizes "inconspicuous", the risk of "conspicuous" in other humans will be greatly reduced?

However, if the power of the game comes entirely from the participants themselves, where is the dominance and control of the game system?

At least, when the Scarlet King observed closely, he did not notice any changes in power other than local factors. Lumi was indeed mobilizing the mystery of this world based on the spiritual will of himself and the participants and onlookers.

"If the creator of this card duel game does not have the underlying control over the entire self-created power system like belief in gods, then my inference can basically be verified as true."

Stepping into the inner side of the world again, the Scarlet King's field of vision shifted to the head of the Deer Clan City. He glanced at the edge of the city wall and looked down at the mountains and forests below, then floated a few steps forward and looked at the waves of envoys slowly marching outside the city.

As long as you explore the jade family and find the source of the card duel game, you can verify many, many things.

"... The observers who decide the 'conspicuous' standard in this world may not resist external 'variables', but will obliterate the 'variables' that are not accepted and mastered by human beings as a whole? Well, many definitions related to inference are yet to be defined. Verification...let's record it for now.

"But if the inference is true, then the Lord of Infinite defines this place as an open world and throws so many testers with different painting styles in. This intention is very interesting..."
