The Complete Guide to Rearing an Alien Boyfriend - Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Rack Their Brains
Long Xi behaved so calmly it seemed that she had not picked up the identity of Loyal Minister.

As a Loyal Minister, the key point was to protect the Master and to kill the Traitor and the Rebels. Besides, she would not be killed by the Master.

She secretly observed the other players, hoping to figure out who was the Traitor.

In general, the most important part of the game was to determine which side the Traitor was choosing to help, the Master or the Rebels.

As a Loyal Minister, she could not expose herself too early. Otherwise, the Traitor would kill her first. Only in this way, could the Traitor balance the power between the Master and the Rebels.

Among them, the identity of the Traitor was the most embarrassed and weakest. The only advantage was that they could hide their identity in the game.

Next, the Master should choose their character first.

The woman in the green sari was the Master, she picked up five character-cards: Bianque, Cao Cao, Xi Shi, Liu Bang, and Genghis Khan.

Long Xi analyzed each in secret: the five characters had different Skills. Cao Cao, Bianque, and Liu Bang had the highest survival rate among the five.

Genghis Khan could only shoot the eagles with his arrows, which meant he was good at attacking from a distance.

Xi Shi was an auxiliary character. Long Xi thought it was not suitable for a Master.

She thought that if it was she that was the Master, she would focus on Liu Bang, Cao Cao, and Bianque.

Generally speaking, Bianque, as a famous doctor, could turn each card in his hands into a card of Tonic, so his living rate was extremely high. However, he was Civil Personnel and lacked attack force.

Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bang had an advantage that he could change his cards once a round.

It was obvious to Long Xi that the woman in the green sari knew the rules, as she finally chose Liu Bang. She put the card on the table.

With this selection, the woman in the green sari had five Lifepoints. One more point was rewarded as the Master. Everyone that had played Hero Kill before should know the rule.

Seeing which character the woman in the green sari had chosen gave Man Shahua a sense of secret relief.

The character, Liu Bang, was not that powerful in general. The only advantage for him was that he could change the cards. That was to say, if he had five cards in his hand and thought the five were not good enough, he could change them at a random.

This exchange could bring him good cards or bad cards. It depended on what the other cards held.

“Sister, this character is really tough.” Man Shahua started to flatter her.

“Yeah, sister, you should be relieved. Even if I pick up the Rebel, I will help you.” Long Xi also started to say something to gain the trust of the Master. As a Loyal Minister, it was wrong to be killed by the Master, so she needed to leave a good impression. Moreover, she was a Loyal Minister, but deliberately said the words of a Rebel as she wanted to confuse the other players.

Weiwei clenched her teeth and said, “Yeah, my sister, don’t kill me by accident.” Was she planning to pretend to be a Loyal Minister?

The woman in the red sari kept silent.

The woman in the green sari said in a sweet voice, “I am reassured, I know who is the Loyal Minister.”

The pure Chinese that the woman spoke, made Long Xi even more certain that she was not Indian.

Next, the other four players began to choose characters.

Long Xi picked up three characters, which were Zhao Kuangyin, Xiang Yu, and Yue Fei.

Zhao Kuangyin’s Skill was to take a drastic measure to deal with a situation. That was to say, that he was able remove other’s cards.

Xiang Yu’s Skill was Overlord. Once a Killing card was used on a player, the player needed to use two Avoiding cards to protect his Lifepoint. The character was really overbearing and had a high lethality.

Yue Fei’s Skill was to use Killing cards as Avoiding cards. In the game, he had a high living rate. At the same time, his attacking power was weak and he did not have any special skill.

The other four players had four Lifepoints each. Long Xi thought about it for a while. Finally, she turned to the arrogant Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu also had four Lifepoints and his attacking power was not weak, it was much stronger than the other two characters.

She finally chose Xiang Yu.

After the four selected their characters, the judge started to issue cards.

The Master got five cards, while the others got four. Then, in every subsequent round, each of them could choose two.

The Master played her cards first.

The woman in the green sari showed the other players the Offensive Horse card and placed it by her side.

When she placed this card by her side, her attacking distance was increased by one player, so she could kill anyone on the field.

However, in the first round, no one had revealed their identity, so she was not prepared to kill anyone.

She said, “First, summon Flames of War.”

Long Xi thought, “Flames of War is a group hurting attack. Under this attack, each player should play a Killing card. Otherwise, they will drop a Lifepoint.

It was Long Xi’s turn. She looked through the cards in her hand, including a Killing card, an Avoiding card, and an Easy to Wink card.

She took a deep breath and threw out the Killing card without hesitation.

“Xiang Yu, Killing Card!” Said Brother Fenggou.

Next followed Weiwei, who chose Yu Ji as her character. She looked around shaking her head and said, “I don’t have a Killing card.”

“Yu Ji, no Killing card. One Lifepoint drops.” Brother Fenggou said ruthlessly.

Weiwei lost a card representing a Lifepoint.

“Yu Ji, one Lifepoint dropped. Pick up two more cards.” The judge reminded her.

This was the Skill of Yu Ji. Every time she lost a Lifepoint, she could take two cards. It was terrifying!

Weiwei picked up two cards, her eyes glistening with happiness upon seeing them.

Next, the woman in the red sari played a Killing card. She chose Shang Yang as her character.

Man Shahua’s character Murong activated the Skill of Butterfly Soul.

The Skill of Butterfly Soul was able to actively avoid a group attack while she was able to pick up another card in addition.

Man Shahua said proudly, “Everybody, I am sorry.”

As she said it, she congratulated herself on choosing the character of Murong.

The woman in the green sari looked around coldly and said, “Tell me, who is my Loyal Minister?”

Man Shahua was the first to show her loyalty, “Of course, it’s me, my sister. I had already decided to follow you before.”

“Bullshit. Man Shahua, obviously I am the Loyal Minister.” Weiwei said indignantly and turned to Long Xi, “Sister, I am the Loyal Minister, but I feel that she looks like the Rebel.”

Long Xi blushed and said faintly to the woman in the green sari, “There is only one Loyal Minister. You two Rebels will meet a bad end even with your displays of fake loyalty.”

Weiwei turned red and exchanged looks with Man Shahua. Then, she snorted, turning to look at the card of identity.

Folding the cards in her hand, the women in the green sari did not choose to activate the card-exchanging skill that she could use in every round, she just said “Next.”

The next to play was Long Xi. She picked up two cards. One was an Attacking Horse, while the other was a Big Hammer.

She armed the Attacking Horse and pointedly said , “Next.”

She was very clear that it was not a smart decision to take action in the first round. She did not want to be attacked by others, especially the Traitor, who liked to kill Loyal Minister first.

It was Weiwei’s turn. She happily picked up two cards. Then, she played a card of Tonic.

“Yu Ji uses a card of Tonic. Add a Lifepoint.” Said the judge.

Long Xi gasped. It seemed that Weiwei had already owned the card of Tonic, so she deliberately lost a Lifepoint to exchange two cards.

Weiwei added a Dragon-scale Knife, whose attacking range was +2. If the attacked person had no Avoiding card, they needed to give her two cards.

Then, she hesitated to add a Defensive Horse, whose defensive range was +2. If the other players had no equipment, they could not hurt a player with a Defensive Horse.

At this moment, Weiwei had a lot of cards in her hand. Man Shahua frowned and said, “Weiwei, you have so many cards in your hand. You should play some?”

Weiwei answered, “Of course, I will.”

Then, she directly played a card at Long Xi, “Kill!”

“Xiang Yu plays a Killing Card to Yu Ji!” Said Brother Fenggou.

Long Xi frowned. She had not expected that Weiwei was so decisive, so she had to play out an Avoiding card. However, she had no Avoiding cards to play.

Weiwei snorted and said, “Thousands of Arrows”.

Thousands of Arrows was a group attack like Flames of War. Once it was played, all the players, except for Man Shahua who chose Murong as her character, would drop a Lifepoint if they were unable to play an Avoiding card.

The woman in the red sari said indifferently, “It’s fine to drop a point. I have no Avoiding card.”

Brother Fenggou said, “Shang Yang drops a Lifepoint.”

The woman in the red sari lost a Lifepoint.

“Shang Yang activates a Skill after being hurt: I am not losing, because I can pick up a card from Yu Ji.” Said the judge.

This was a Hurting Skill of Shang Yang that once he lost a Lifepoint, he could pick up a card from the one who hurt him. It was very annoying.

Weiwei held all of her cards and allowed the woman in the red sari to pick one. She found that she had selected an Avoiding card.

Then, Man Shahua activated her Skill of Butterfly Soul and picked up another card.

Man Shahua played out an Avoiding card.

When it came to Long Xi’s turn, she shook her head to express that she had no Avoiding card.

Helpless, she dropped a Lifepoint.

It was Weiwei’s turn. This time, she added a Tiger Tally.

She looked, smiling at Long Xi but her eyes were full of lethal intent.

Long Xi felt that something was wrong!

The person who added a Tiger Tally could play Killing cards without limitation. Long Xi had no Avoiding card in her hands, but Weiwei still had a few. If she played three more Killing cards towards Long Xi, Long Xi would be out of the game.

She looked at the others’ expressions, everyone was looking at her. They were all trying to figure out if she was a Rebel, Traitor or a Loyal Minister.

When everyone thought that Weiwei could start a slaughter after adding a Tiger Tally, she shook her head and said, “Unfortunately, I don’t have a Killing card.”

“The next one, it is Shang Yang’s turn.” Said the judge.

Finally, the woman in the red sari picked up two cards. She suddenly showed the equipment of Spear, adding her attacking range to the third adjacent player.

She looked around without any change in her eyes, and said in a peaceful tone, “Holding Mine.”

The effect of the Holding Mine was that: the target player should accept a judgment. If the card the player picked was among Spades 2 to 9, the mine would explode and the player would drop three Lifepoints.

If the card was not in this range, the Holding Mine would move to the next player until a player was hurt by it or it was removed.

“F*ck, you’re good. You even dare to use Holding Mine.” Man Shahua scolded.

The reason why Man Shahua was angry was that Shang Yang had the Skill of Changing the Laws.

If the selected card was red, the Mine would not explode.

However, once Shang Yang activated his Skill of Changing the Laws, he could allow the Holding Mine to detonate only if the player had a Spade 2 to 9 in their hand.

Once it exploded, the other player would drop all three of their Lifepoints!
