Chapter 1198 Card City


    ??The train was relatively calm, and it was a relatively stable train that Xu Huo had passed through so many dungeons. Before arriving at the Card City, where the poker maze was located, Liang Shuang told him some information about the dungeon.


    “Originally, the entrance to the dungeon was fixed, and there was a special maze sign that the people in Card City used to remind outsiders. However, after the dungeon was upgraded, the entrance was no longer fixed, but appeared randomly in the five station cities. "


    "There are ten stations in Area 001. The station city where we got off was Solitaire City. Originally, we could only enter this city to enter the maze. After the upgrade, four more cities were added. These cities are not too far apart for Area 001, but It would take at least half a day to travel by local high-speed aircraft.”


    ?A division that can use a large number of aircraft is already very far away, and Area 001 is more technologically advanced than Area 011, and the speed of aircraft will only be faster, which shows how big this division is.


    “There are entrances to the five cities. How many people can enter the dungeon at one time?” Xu Huo asked a question.


    "54 people," Liang Shuang said: "No matter how many people enter, they will be eliminated before the dungeon starts, so there are many tickets for the poker maze, but not everyone can successfully make the dungeon."


    “As for the elimination method, you will naturally know it after entering the dungeon.”


    "The main thing I want to say is the entrance problem. I don''t know where to get in, so when you arrive, you have to put your ticket on you. This is the first identity verification. But you have to be careful when you get there. There are many people who steal tickets, and everyone I want to go in and try my luck.”


    “Generally entrances are related to doors, so doors in the entire city may become entrances. Sometimes they are shopping mall doors, sometimes they may be toilet doors. They are hard to guard against, so there is a high probability that we will not go in together.”


    “And the place after entering the maze is also random. We can only agree on a place to gather.”


    "But if the doors we enter the dungeon are not far apart, it is very likely that we will enter the entrance of the same maze. It is said that there are at least fifteen entrances to the poker maze. If the entrances are different, then we can only go to the second half of the maze. Only then can we meet.”


    “Can’t communicate in the maze?” Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, “Then how can we agree on a place?”


    "This is a specialty of Card City. There is a one-time prop specially developed for mazes called ''Friends from the Same Door''. Two or more people wear this prop. If they are at the same maze entrance, the prop will remind them with a color. Depending on the distance between the two people, the color of the props will also change.”


    “I think this maze cannot be climbed over the wall.” Xu Huo said.


    Liang Shuang sighed regretfully, "It just depends on luck. If there is an entrance, but the separated passages are complicated, it may not be possible for a long time... At that time, we can only go our separate ways. As long as the path is correct, we will be able to reach it later." We should be able to meet him halfway.”


    ?? What he felt was distressing was nothing to Xu Huo. It was a basic operation. How could a C-level maze dungeon not even have this level of difficulty give out generous rewards?


    ??He also read some information about the maze in Dimension in advance, but most of it was before the upgrade, and after the maze was upgraded, the gameplay rules changed, and there was no complete copy guide.


    “Besides, is there anything else that needs attention?” Xu Huo asked again.


    "It''s not too late to understand other rules that need to be understood after entering the dungeon," Liang Shuang paused and then added, "The main reason is that I''m worried that the dungeon rules have changed. It would be bad if it misleads." Xu Huo expressed his understanding, no Continue to ask what he meant by "team formation", because players who enter the dungeon will be automatically divided into two teams in the end. This is the basic gameplay of the poker maze.


    The train soon arrived at the Card City. When you got off the train, the first thing you saw was the ubiquitous advertising about the poker maze. Selling maze-related items seemed to have become an industry chain, from customs clearance props to clothes, shoes and socks. There is nothing that is not branded as a playing card maze, and the playing card with a black crown has been made into a holographic advertisement and placed everywhere, even at the entrance of the station. Every guest entering and exiting will pass through the huge holographic playing card.


    "It looks very lively." Liang Shuang said: "I will take you to see the more exaggerated ones later. Billboards, aircraft spray-painting, and building projections are all trivial. In this city, even food and condoms are made into playing card shapes or printed on them. Playing card pattern."


    Xu Huo’s gaze paused, “Does the owner of the maze have no objection to this?”


    "No one has ever seen the owner of the maze. Whether he has or not is the same thing." Liang Shuang said with a smile: "But those industries will also restrain themselves and will not really put the patterns on the maze playing cards. This one It seems that a law has been enacted in the card city that only local governments or government authorization can use the same series of patterns on maze playing cards.”


    "Specialties are usually sold to outsiders." He added with a sly smile, "Anyway, I don''t think there will be players who would choose the surroundings of the maze as a personal item, a place where they can gamble their lives. Wouldn''t it be awkward to use it?" Just deceive foreign tourists.”


    ?Xu Huo nodded slightly. He did see people queuing up to buy in many gift shops, and most of them were not players.


    ? There are also many shops that buy tickets - Card City is probably the only one that can make buying tickets like buying a second-hand car.


    ??In addition to ticket buyers, there are also ticket sellers. Ordinary people have set up a platform not far from the station exit. The holographic projection behind it scrolls the number of tickets stored in real time. Some players did buy it.


    “Let’s go.” Liang Shuang lowered his voice, “It’s better not to deal with the ticket business run by local people.”


    The two found an autonomous flying machine next to the car, paid and drove to the nearest food court.


    "You''re all here, let''s try the food here first." Liang Shuang said: "The dungeon screening period lasts for one week. We came early and can wait for two days before going in."


    Xu Huo had no objection and let him arrange it.


    There are also normal meals in the food court. Not every restaurant will make playing cards. There is also a very famous vegetable called "flower bud", which is a very magical mutant plant. Before it blooms, the flower buds are rich in Various trace elements needed by evolvers, and the taste is also very good, but after flowering, the buds will quickly accumulate toxins and become highly toxic, and some of them will rapidly expand into giant human-eating single plants, which are mutations among mutations. .


    Because of this peculiar nature, all restaurants that serve this dish will sign a liability exemption form before customers eat it. Of course, this does not mean that you will die if you eat it, but it is true that some people still eat the dish even though it has been tested to be non-toxic. An example of a dead person, that’s why this happened.


    ?In addition, mature flower buds are also used as protective walls in many places, including playing card mazes.
