Three Towers Game

First round. Draw cards.

It seemed like a normal deck of playing cards. Wen Xishu drew one, then the Judge drew one.

But soon, Wen Xishu noticed something was off.

The Judge’s cards... were clearly more than his.

By the time Wen Xishu drew his fifth card, he had five cards, while the Judge had ten.

"Is this cheating?" Wen Xishu said.

Of course, the Judge understood what Wen Xishu meant.

The Judge merely smiled and said:

"No, this is a trait. When you beat me in a round, you also get a special reward. These rewards will give you privileges in future games."

Wen Xishu found it amusing:

"Do I get to play with others, besides you?"

The Judge said:

"Yes, if you can leave here alive, Mr. Wen Xishu, you will be able to initiate the game of Good and Evil Cards with anyone, anytime, anywhere."

Isn’t this just like Gwent?

"And as a... high-level Good and Evil Cards player, one of my privileges is a double card draw."

The Judge’s face was covered, his expression unseen, but the tone seemed to say — Yes, I’m cheating.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment:

"Okay."

You started it, so don’t blame me for not holding back.

Although the Weird Sequence couldn’t let Wen Xishu see the opponent’s cards here, nor affect the game...

But Wen Xishu felt that perhaps his other cheating methods might have miraculous effects this time.

Soon, the first round ended.

Wen Xishu drew ten cards, and the Judge drew twenty.

These ten cards weren’t very good.

The first card depicted a house, with a family of three inside.

This is the Family Card. This card can awaken lost thoughts about family. Target — limited to the lost.

But then again...

In the current environment, if you’re lucky, it’s a Family Card, if unlucky, it’s a Dysfunctional Family Card.

The second card depicted a ghostly face with one eye open and one eye closed.

This is the Prank Card. This card controls the public to briefly propose many prank suggestions.

Target — the general public outside the lost.

The third card — a Blank Card.

No effect, this type of card is equivalent to no card.

Wen Xishu drew three Blank Cards in total.

In other words, in terms of substantial cards that can sway the lost and the online public, Wen Xishu only had seven cards.

The fourth card, was quite a crucial one in Wen Xishu’s hand — the Justice Card.

The design was of Libra. Of course, this Libra had nothing to do with the zodiac but symbolized fairness and justice.

This card’s target, the general public outside the lost.

The fifth card was also good, the Rational Card.

It depicted a brain.

This card would invoke deep thought in people. Target also being the general public.

Both these cards were quite good.

But then again... the Judge had so many cards, there might be ones that could counter these.

The sixth card, depicted a person giving a speech and a crowd responding — the Passion Card.

Simply put, it’s the opposite of the Rational Card, target also being the general public.

The effect of this card is that it’s easy for the public to fall into a certain mainstream rhythm.

The seventh card, the Fear Card. Depicted a demon.

Target, the general public, able to immerse everyone in a sort of unknown fear.

The eighth card, and the last one in Wen Xishu’s hand —

The Courage Card, target being the lost. The depiction was of a sharp blade.

As the name suggests, invoking courage in the lost.

It’s a good card, but Wen Xishu didn’t have high hopes for it.

Three Blank Cards, seven substantial cards, drawn just like that.

And as for the Judge’s cards, Wen Xishu didn’t know, clearly, there were many types of cards.

Wen Xishu also understood, some cards... cannot be played without gauging the situation.

Like the Family Card.

If the lost had a family like Tang Rui’s... playing the Family Card might not need to complete ten tasks, after the first one, the lost Ning Shu might choose to end herself.

So, one must analyze thoroughly what kind of person Ning Shu is.

Through her reactions after completing certain actions, to judge Ning Shu’s character and understand the reasons shaping it.

This is key.

As long as the right remedy is applied, perhaps it could help Ning Shu find a way to accept herself, recognize the world, and continue living even in an unfavorable hand situation.

Of course, among the seven cards, two are targeted at the lost, five at the general public.

Thus, another crucial strategy lies in guiding public opinion. Wen Xishu looked at his cards, they were quite unimpressive...

The Justice Card and the Rational Card... only these two could positively guide public opinion.

But it’s too difficult, the Judge likely has counter cards.

Perhaps I should devise an unexpected move.

Just from the cards, Wen Xishu almost had no chance of winning.

"But I still have a special card, the Freedom Card."

This was Wen Xishu’s greatest strategy.

Using the Scorpion Knife, transforming into a member of the general public.

After the card-drawing round ends, the game officially begins.

In the massive screen formed by countless cards, Wen Xishu could see various posts constantly appearing in the forum.

The screen content will present the main content of the top ten posts as well as the forum post popularity ranking.

The post content constantly changed, and the forum time flow on the screen was fast.

In about five minutes for Wen Xishu, it was equivalent to a day on the screen.

Fortunately, Wen Xishu had an excellent memory, he discovered many key pieces of information.

This was the first day of the game starting.

A girl named Ning Shu initiated a voting post — Ten-Day Behavior Journey.
