If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

In the dwelling on the semi-enclosed balcony, Xia Chen sat cross-legged on the small and simple wooden bed, with his eyes closed and his brows slightly wrinkled.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, and there was a hint of joy in his opened eyes.

Although the bottle of barrier-breaking potion is only the lowest level, the effect is really good, or it is very useful for Xia Chen. With the help of the potion, he doubled the thin barrier crack in the spiritual sea, which means that his spiritual strength is still strong. Force recovery speed has also been doubled.

In the next few days, he kept trying to use his mental power to attack the cracks in the barrier. The effect was not as good as taking the potion directly, but it was also slightly effective. It has only been three days, and his mental power has recovered to the point where he can use three-star cards.

Card masters are divided into seven stars just like card levels, and three stars and below are low-star card masters. After reaching three stars, they can be regarded as the mainstay with certain combat capabilities and social status, but it is a hurdle to upgrade from two stars to three stars. Can't get over it.

For example, Xia Cheng, he can be regarded as a very talented man. He successfully stimulated his mental power at the age of 12 and officially became a card master. A year later, he was promoted to a two-star card master again, but three years later, he was still stuck at a two-star card master.

As for the Xia family and his wife, they were stuck at two stars all their lives, and there was no hope of rising to stars in this life.

When Xia Cheng coaxed Jin Qili back then, he said that he could be promoted to a three-star before graduation, which meant that he was not sure of success in promotion now, but Xia Chen has now become a three-star card master.

Not every card master can display the strength of the corresponding level. If the mental power is enough, the cards are not enough, and Nakong has a whole body of mental power that still can't play a role.

There are also some decks that are not as good as others, which will also affect the outcome of the battle.

But Xia Chen doesn't have this trouble. He has countless cards in his deck. The only thing he needs to worry about is that most of the cards are too high level, and his own cards are too special to be used.

If the Xia family knew the news, their first reaction would be that they couldn't believe it, thinking that Xia Chen was insane during the day, and he was crazy to think about the companion book.

However, Xia Chen would not let them know that the parents had no love for Xia Yi. Although Xia Yi was born and raised, they started helping the family with Xia Yi when he was five or six years old. , Washing, cooking, mopping the floor, etc. have to be done well, and it is not easy to be scolded if you don't do it well.

After taking care of the housework at home, I still don’t have enough food and clothing to keep warm. What’s worse, I have to accept their verbal humiliation, similar to the words “natural disability”, “waste”, and “living is a drag” in summer. Yi's memory was deeply impressed, even Xia Chen who received the memory could feel the inferiority, fear and despair of the young Xia Yi when he heard these words.

Xia Yi didn't want to live in the morning, and Xia Chen could feel the child's depression and despair. If this accident hadn't happened, Xia Yi, who was completely abandoned as an adult, would have walked on a dead end.

So ever since Xia Chen received Xia Yi's memories, he never thought about being filial to his parents for Xia Yi. This couple may be very good to Xia Cheng, but to Xia Yi, they are not worthy of being called parents at all.

Even Xia Chen said before that he had broken his hand, these days Jin Qili not only didn't mention seeing a doctor for him, but even tried to make him continue to do housework, after Xia Chen broke two of her bowls and broke a decoration, this The woman growled and told Xia Chen to get out.

Also because of this incident, Jin Qili found an excuse to deduct Xia Chen's rations, saying that since he was too lazy to move, he should eat less so as not to waste food, and only gave him a hard fruit-filled steamed bun that could kill someone a day.

Xia Chen refused this thing, but fortunately Xia Chen found out the next day, his Wish Come True skill was refreshed after cooling down, and gave him two food cards again when he made a wish.

Because he couldn't forget the brown sugar steamed bun that he hadn't eaten enough, Xia Chen prayed for that at the time, so two brown sugar steamed buns appeared at once, and what surprised him even more was that there were two in one of them!

The three steamed buns were just divided into three meals, and Xia Chen used the little money left over from selling his Apple cards to buy a few refined and upgraded fruit-filled steamed buns that were a little more expensive than ordinary fruit-filled steamed buns. This is what Xia An made. Work, this fruit-filled steamed bun is not so dry, it tastes like a dry steamed bun that has been left for too long and loses all its moisture, but it does not have the sweet texture of steamed buns.

The combination of good and bad is good enough to fill up his stomach. Xia Chen knows that with the frequency of getting two food cards a day, if he wants to be full, it is best to get raw materials, such as flour and rice. Half a catty, processing it yourself is more cost-effective than eating ready-made ones.

It's a pity that Xia Chen didn't have the conditions to process it now, he didn't dare to open fire at Xia's house, so the next day he earnestly prayed for a card for steamed buns and a card for dried meat.

This time the luck is mediocre, there is only one brown sugar steamed bun, the jerky is beef jerky, there are a lot of thick, finger-long beef strips, there are more than ten strips.

There is meat in this world, because most animals mutate, and farmed animals can easily mutate, so it is rare to eat meat, and the price of meat remains high.

What is more expensive is the meat of mutated beasts. Most of the mutated beasts cannot be eaten, or there are viruses or parasites in the body that cannot be eliminated by the human immune system, or the taste is difficult to swallow, or it is simply poisonous and cannot be eaten.

A small number of mutated beasts are not only edible, but also very delicious. The price is unimaginably high, and there is no market for it.

There are also some mutated animal meats, which contain energy and are eaten after special treatment, which is very beneficial to the human body. The price of this kind is even higher. Xia Yiyi heard Xia Cheng mention it once, saying that he would kill that kind of meat in the future Mutant beasts take meat to honor their parents.

Xia Yi listened enviously at that time, and felt that his younger brother was worthy of being a genius, and he really had the ability, but Xia Chen had already discovered that Xia Cheng was just a good talker, and he spoke nicely.

With the conditions of the Xia family, he competed with his wealthy classmates for food and clothing everywhere, and he would tell Xia An and his wife who bought what good things, and the accompanying books only had a few card slots, so he was very embarrassing.

Xia An and Jin Qili felt that their genius son had been wronged, and tightened their belts to buy him luxury goods. On the contrary, Xia Yi, a son who kept quiet and could only do things, was completely ignored.

Having said that, Xia Yi will be sad for a while, but Xia Chen will only watch the show with a cold eye, seeing what kind of filial and promising son this couple will raise.

At least now, that family may not be able to eat meat once a year, but Xia Tongban, the thigh on Xia Chen's list, has meat every day.

This combination is more reasonable than just eating steamed buns. In fact, it is better to add some fruits and vegetables, but he can only pray for two food cards a day, and it is more important to eat enough.

To Xia Chen's surprise, after his mental power recovered to three stars today, the food cards he prayed for also became three, which means that if his mental power continues to recover, the food cards he can get every day There will be more and more.

Originally, Xia Chen still wanted to raise Xia Yi's body for a period of time before proceeding with his next plan. Now that he has an extra food card, his plan can be carried out ahead of schedule.

Three days later, Xia Chen stood in front of the gate of the building with the sign of Linyan City Arena.

It is said that it is an arena, but it is actually a gambling arena, and Xia Chen's current appearance is also completely different from his previous appearance.

With phoenix eyes and thin lips, and cold white skin, except for the fact that she is too thin to look like her, just looking at her face is like the warmth of a teenager.

This is a card effect named Thousand Faces by Xia Chen. It can manifest a mask, stick it on a person's face, and it will record the person's appearance. When other people put on the mask, they will become The appearance of being recorded.

This mask is very suitable for lurking to inquire about news, but at that time Wangxiangcheng was fighting against zombies, there was no need for such cards, and there were no human compatriots to deal with in the future. When Xia Chen left, he stayed There are many useful time-delay cards, but he didn't keep any of them.

This kind of card that has not been used much, of course, Xia Chen will not record many faces, so he asked Zi Jian to wear it during the experiment, and then put it on himself, and found that the card mask can be made according to the individual's bones Slightly adjusted so that the face and people will not look out of harmony.

This means that if you want to completely imitate a person with thousands of faces, you'd better find someone who is similar in age and body to you, otherwise you will be different from yourself.

However, Xia Chen's purpose is not to imitate Wen Shu, he simply needs to use a new identity to replace a large number of available cards, and the gambling arena is a perfect place.

According to his age, it is more appropriate to go to the underage gambling arena, but to enter the underage gambling arena, the bone age must be measured. It is impossible for a 17-year-old three-star card player to not have a little reputation in a small city like Linyan City.

There are not so many rules in the gambling arena. Over the years, there have been minors who are not afraid of tigers when they are newborns. However, these teenagers who have never experienced a formal battle rarely get off the gambling arena completely. .

Even if they are minors, when they enter the gambling platform, they will accept the adult gambling rules by default.

……

Ghost Howling Jungle Forest, this is the outskirts of Yundang Mountain Range. It is named after a black-faced ghost ape mutant beast in the forest.

The black-faced ghost ape, which looks like an ape, often makes a shrill cry like a howling ghost. The sound can slightly shock the soul and make people fear.

Although the effect is slight, it can't stand the fact that ghost apes live in groups. A group of ghost apes howl together, no matter how courageous the warrior is, his legs will tremble and his fighting spirit will disappear.

At this time, a small team was fleeing in embarrassment in the forest, and the ghost ape screamed one after another, and fell firmly behind them.

A few people ran staggeringly, and it was no joke that their legs were weak when they were frightened. The ability of the ghost monkey does not depend on the will of the people. I have already confessed it when I met the group of ghost apes.

"I, I run, I can't run anymore"

The female card master in the team said out of breath while sobbing that she was scared to cry. She was originally an auxiliary card master, and her physical strength was much weaker than that of her companions.

"Ali, you carry Xiaoke on your back." The leading man ordered, and the tallest man in the team immediately carried the girl on his back.

A group of people ran with their heads down, trying to get rid of the group of pursuers behind them, a tall and thin man running in the front suddenly shrank his pupils and shouted: "Stop!"

But it was too late, a group of ghost apes suddenly jumped out from the forest in front, as soon as they saw this group of intruders, ghost howls sounded immediately, echoing with the pursuers behind.

Flapped back and forth, doubled in fear, these poor survivors staggered two steps and fell to the ground one after another.

The accompanying books were summoned one after another, and the leading man gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Ke, use the ring of purification again."

Xiao Ke sobbed: "No more, just now was the last time."

The Ring of Purification, a four-star support card, can remove all negative states. Although it is not a one-time card, it has a limit on the number of times. Obviously, this team is really unlucky. Without the Ring of Purification, their combat effectiveness cannot be half as usual.

"Team, captain, maybe this, these two ethnic groups will fight? How about we hide, hide?"

Although ghost apes live in groups, conflicts and wars often break out between different groups.

The captain smiled wryly: "It's too late, before that, they will definitely kill us first."

"Come on, it's life or death, we have to fight!" The captain said proudly, but he was a melee fighter, with soft hands and feet, and he couldn't even lift a weapon.

"Then, what is that?"

The tall and thin man suddenly pointed to the front and muttered to himself, and the others followed his gaze, stunned.

I saw a red figure flashing across the forest quickly, as fast as flying, no, he was indeed flying, only occasionally tapped his toes on a branch, and then jumped a long distance.

And as he was advancing, he happened to be blocking the group of ghost apes. Before they had time to tell him to be careful, he saw that figure flying into the group of ghost apes, and the corpses of the ghost apes fell down one by one. It cut through the group of ghost apes blocking the way alive.
