When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

After staying in that small town for seven or eight days, the convoy continued on its way.

Compared with the dull atmosphere on the road before, the children who got stacks of Gwent cards seemed a lot more lively.

Gwent is a tabletop card battle game, in which the main card types are divided into three types: event cards, unit cards and faction leader cards. However, Li Shanren has not yet made faction leader cards, so the card decks they currently have only event cards and unit cards.

Unit cards can be divided into heroes and ordinary units. For example, the character card that Tifa has in her hand is a "hero" level card.

No matter what kind of unit card it is, it has its own combat power number. For example, the combat power number of Tifa’s character card is “10”.

The main way to play Gwent is to place your own unit cards on the table in order, stack up their combat power numbers, and compare them with the combat power numbers stacked up by the enemy's unit cards.

For example, when Tifa is playing Gwent with Lee Sun-in, she puts out a unit card with a power number of "10" and a unit card with a power number of "4" in sequence, then her total power is 14.

If the total combat power of the unit cards displayed by Li Shanren is less than 14, Tifa will be judged as the winner of this game.

Each game of Gwent is decided by a best-of-three round.

At the beginning of each round, you can randomly draw 10 cards from your deck. You can choose to discard two of them and draw again from the deck. You cannot draw again unless there are special card effects.

That is to say, in three games, if nothing unexpected happens, both sides will only have 10 cards to use.

At the beginning of each round, a coin toss is used to decide who plays first, and only one card can be played in each round.

Newbies often like to put out all the unit cards in their hands at once in the first game, so that their combat power points can steadily surpass those of the opponent and win the first game.

But after each round, all the cards on the table must be cleared and put into the discard pile.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second game, you will be in an embarrassing situation of having no cards in your hand and eventually lose.

In addition to unit cards, event cards are divided into weather cards, trap cards, etc. Their main function is to reduce the combat power of unit cards through various rules and create opportunities for victory.

However, hero-level unit cards will not be affected by event cards.

Fundamentally, Gwent is also a game that complicates the idea of ​​"comparing size".

Li Shanren spent two days teaching the rules and gameplay of Gwent to everyone in the team.

However, some cards have unique rules and ingenious words, which are written directly on the cards, so it will be troublesome if you don’t know how to read.

Most of the children in the team are not very literate.

Therefore, Li Shanren temporarily withheld the role cards belonging to those children, requiring them to recognize all the words on the cards and pass the test in front of him before they could get their own role cards.

The task of teaching the children to read was given to Svana, the two slave girls who remained in the caravan, and Ezio's sister Yuna.

While staying in that small town, Li Shanren had already purchased a new carriage.

According to the previous agreement, the two slave maids could choose to leave freely, but for some reason, neither of them asked to leave.

Since they didn't mention it, Li Shanren wouldn't take the initiative to say it. After all, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have two more people to help Swana.

As maids who had received good housekeeping training, Svana and Avril were naturally familiar with common characters. Love herself was of noble birth and naturally had received a good education, so teaching people to read and write was not a problem for her.

Although the two slave maids were not strictly under Li Shanren's control, they also got the Gwent cards given by Li Shanren, so in exchange, they had to join the teaching mission.

......

"Eivor, do you want to play a game of Gwent with me?"

In the evening, a young man with short black hair excitedly held up a stack of wooden cards and approached the young pharmacist who was sitting by the fire.

"But you're almost out of trading cards..."

Aivor was roasting by the fire, looking helpless.

Standing on his shoulder was a pitch-black crow, which was preening its feathers with its beak.

This crow was suddenly brought back by Eivor after he went out for a few days, and he named it "Xining".

"It doesn't matter. Brother Lisern said that I can exchange new trading cards from him through labor. I am ready to risk everything. Come on, take out your deck! Today I will definitely take back everything I lost!"

Jacob showed a fighting spirit.

The trading card is a special card created by Li Shanren. There is only a copper coin drawn on it. Ten cards will be issued to each person initially, and a new Gwent card can be drawn from Li Shanren for every five cards.

Of course, the draw is random, and what card you draw depends entirely on luck.

If you are lucky enough, you may be able to draw a rare hero card, such as the hero card [Exotic Magician Lisern], which not only has a combat power value of up to 15 points, but also has a special card ability that can be activated once per game against the limit - "Comet Azrael", which directly puts the opponent's hero unit card or two ordinary unit cards into the discard pile.

Many extra copies of these hero cards were made and placed by Li Shanren in a wooden box called the "card pool", mixed with other cards waiting to be drawn. Whether you can draw one depends entirely on luck.

However, the initial deck that each person receives contains a hero character card based on themselves.

It is precisely because Li Shanren holds his own powerful character card that he has not yet encountered a defeat. After two days of beating, no one dares to challenge him anymore.

In order to prevent them from developing the bad habit of gambling, Li Shanren stipulated that the bets in the battle could only be made with trading cards or cards from his own deck, and money was prohibited from being used as bets.

"Then come on."

Aivor casually took out the deck with nearly 40 cards in it.

These days, there are many people who challenge him, but he wins more than he loses, and gradually becomes famous.

Especially Jacob, who had challenged him four or five times and lost almost all his trading cards.

Five or six minutes later, accompanied by a wailing sound, Eivor ruthlessly took away the last trading card in Jacob's hand.

"Just help out in the team these days."

He patted Jacob's shoulder, as if to say, "As you wish."

......

At the edge of the camp, Altaïr raised his hand slightly toward the sky.

A loud and high-pitched whistle sounded from the air, and then a shadow of nearly half a meter long wings covered his head and fell down gracefully.

In the blink of an eye, a gray-white falcon landed on Altaïr's right arm, with sharp eyes and a cold attitude.

Altaïr smiled faintly, picked up a wooden plate filled with fresh meat strips and held it in front of the falcon.

Smelling the food, the falcon looked around for a while, and after making sure the surroundings were safe, it lowered its proud head and quickly pecked at the meat strips on the plate.

Standing nearby, Ezio looked at the falcon with a little envy and sighed, "I also want a partner who can be my second pair of eyes."

"When you are promoted to the Silver Elite rank, you will be able to contract a young eagle. I will then accompany you to find it." Altaïr smiled faintly.

After reaching the Gold rank, Altaïr gained a deeper understanding of the Hidden Ones' legacy, and was able to learn more about the uses of their abilities.

Eagle Vision is one of them.

The original Eagle Eye Vision only made Altaïr's senses more acute, allowing him to discover details that ordinary people could not notice. At the same time, it could also spread out a spherical field of vision, allowing him to perceive all objects within a hundred meters around him without blind spots.

Even if there are walls or underground, the perception of Eagle Eye Vision cannot be blocked, unless a special anti-mental perception array is set up, or a wall is constructed with extraordinary materials that block perception.

The powerful external mental perception is only one of the abilities of Eagle Eye Vision. Another ability is to contract a bird and share vision with the other party. It can even extend the mental perception of Eagle Eye Vision to the contracted bird, and use the other party's perspective to see through the buildings below from high altitude.

This is also an important reason why the Invisible Ones can often accurately find the location of their target.

Since the eagle has the best eyesight, is a bird of prey, has certain fighting capabilities, and is regarded as a symbol of freedom, the Invisible Ones like to contract an eagle as a partner.

During the days before leaving the caravan, Ezio accompanied Altaïr to search for birds suitable for the contract.

Finally, they found this underage falcon and it took them a lot of effort to successfully tame it.

Altaïr named it "Lacey".

Although Lacey is still a minor, it can easily fly to a height of several thousand meters. Its sharp eagle eyes can easily see anything within a radius of more than ten kilometers. (Note: The vision of eagles can reach 36 kilometers)

With Lacey's help, Altaïr could easily grasp any movement within a dozen kilometers around the convoy. It was basically impossible for him to be silently surrounded by wolves like before.

......

Outside the tent, Li Shanren sat by the campfire and smiled with satisfaction as he watched the nearby children following the three maids and Miss Yuna to learn to read seriously.

At least I found something for them to do, which is better than doing nothing and running around all day.

"You seem very happy."

The red-eyed girl with waist-length hair gently sat down next to Li Shanren.

"Is that so?" Li Shanren smiled and touched his chin without comment.

"Yes, a few days ago, everyone could see that you seemed to be worried about something, but now you look much more relaxed."

"Maybe it's because I have found a way to solve my troubles." Li Shanren smiled mysteriously.

Tifa nodded slightly and did not ask "What is Lisern's trouble?" In her opinion, if Lisern wanted to say something, he would naturally say it himself.

"If you need any help, you can always come to me. You don't have to bear everything by yourself." She still said this, and she had said similar words many times.

"No, how can I take on all the responsibilities by myself?" Li Shanren smiled lazily, "A lazy person like me will only think about how to push my own tasks to other people. You see, that's what I've been doing recently."

He pointed to the children who were attending class not far away.

Tifa shook her head helplessly. She wasn't talking about such everyday things.

She thought that Lisern should understand this as well.

But neither side broke the whistle.

"Come to think of it, Lisern is really cunning." Tifa lifted the hair hanging from her forehead.

"How am I cunning?" Li Shanren opened his eyes slightly, looking innocent.

"You recently taught everyone a game called Gwent. I heard that your character card was the only one with a combat power of 15, and you also had such unreasonable card abilities, so no one could defeat you. Many people told me about this."

"Ahem... this is what you are talking about."

Li Shanren coughed dryly, then said seriously: "That's nonsense. I can always win because I have more experience in this game than you. If you don't believe me, I promise not to use that hero character card before other cards of the same level appear. So, do you want to play a game of Gwent?"

......

Alas, I was suddenly transferred to another position recently and am busy with work handover matters.
