My exclusive card pool

Chapter 6: Card Pool and Destiny (Thanks to the leader "穿马甲314" for the reward!)

"It's so miserable..."

Zhu Yuhe looked at the ruined streets of the Rust Belt and let out a muffled sigh from inside her protective suit.

Even though she had worked at Cupid Housekeeping for three years and had seen many disaster scenes, she was still terrified every time.

At this time, Wang Xi noticed that at the other end of the street, a hundred meters away from them, there was a blue-black square tent.

There were blue cordons outside, and some fully armed soldiers were guarding the surroundings with guns. People in black uniforms were moving around inside, and it was unknown what they were doing.

"That's the entrance to the 'Disaster Card Pool'."

Team leader Lei Wen walked up to Wang Xi and explained.

Wang Xi turned his head and looked at him doubtfully.

Through the glass visor, Raven's expression revealed a look of longing. Furthermore, most of his colleagues also looked over there with envy.

"The only way to eliminate a disaster is to destroy the 'disaster core'. Where the 'disaster core' is destroyed, a 'card pool entrance' will appear, which will last for 72 hours. This pool will produce special universal cards, often with the same origin as the disaster."

Raven was very patient and said to Wang Xi with a chuckle.

"Most people don't know this information. You can't learn it in school..."

Then, Lei Wen explained it to Wang Xi again.

It turns out that the universal cards in this world have only two origins, the "Maze Card Pool" and the "Disaster Card Pool".

There are some specific areas inside each maze for drawing wild cards, but the card pool is often fixed and there is basically no change.

The Overlooking Bureau has no control over the "Maze Card Pool". Any brave person who applies and enters the maze to explore and adventure can search and draw at will.

However, the card pool generated after the annihilation of the disaster core is not fixed, and the probability of producing high-quality universal cards is higher.

After the disaster relief team clears the area, the Overlook Bureau will immediately cordon off the scene and conduct controls. You need a certain level of experience to have a chance to participate in the on-site lottery.

Wang Xi was stunned, his expression slightly strange.

'Isn't this the "Permanent Card Pool" and the "Limited Card Pool"?'

He said to himself.

As a product manager of a well-known card game in his previous life, Wang Xi was very familiar with this.

"Unfortunately, no matter what kind of card pool it is, it is too far away from most of us ordinary people."

Raven sighed, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"In fact, the biggest pursuit of many of my colleagues, myself included, is to save enough money to buy high-quality artificial wild cards on the market, so that we can qualify to apply for the Overlook Bureau's maze."

"Brother Lei, do you want to enter the maze?"

Wang Xi said in surprise.

Although he didn't have a deep understanding of this world, he was aware of the dangers of the maze.

"Who wouldn't want that!" Raven laughed. "This is a chance to change your destiny!"

"Professional heroes have an extremely high status. Not only do they have first-class citizenship and priority access to public facilities, they also enjoy many federal privileges."

"But to become a professional hero, you must be strong enough to pass the annual assessment. The maze offers many opportunities, and if you seize them, you will soar to the sky."

He shook his head again and said:
"I don't aspire to be a professional hero, but the maze is full of treasures. If I'm lucky enough to find some magic stones or ether crystals, I'll be able to turn my life around."

Wang Xi noticed that the eyes of Zhu Yuhe, Luo Xiaoliang and other scavenger colleagues were all as fierce as Lei Wen.

They seemed to admire professional heroes and look forward to the day when they could pan for gold in the maze.

High risk means high reward.

In this post-disaster era, strength and status are still linked, but in a more intuitive and explicit way.

Perhaps most people, like them, aspire to become professional warriors, to become the heroes of the new world. Alternatively, they could find precious resources in the maze, exchange them for vast wealth, and thus change their fate.

"Okay, stop looking and get to work!"

Team leader Raven smiled and ended the topic.

A white light flashed in his hand, and he was holding a ferocious and long electric saw.

The saw is painted yellow with a matte finish, and the casing is rounded and integrated. The front handle is also printed with a cute winged figure, and the saw blade is marked with the eye-catching words "Cupid Housekeeping Professional Cleaning" on both sides.

"Two streets in the Rust Belt were destroyed by this disaster. The defense team dealt with the 'disaster core' overnight, but there are still many monsters, animals, and the bodies of the victims left here."

Lei Wen greeted everyone and said:

"Team Two will be responsible for cleaning and collecting these bodies. But be careful not to get contaminated by the saccharified substances, as they are highly corrosive."

"Everyone follow me and assign homework."

"Okay, team leader."

A dull response came from the crowd's protective suits, and they followed the man in tacit understanding and order.

A group of bloated yellow figures walked on the broken road and headed deep into the ruins.

On the way, Lei Wen explained the work process in detail, mainly to Wang Xi, the newcomer.

They first need to classify the bodies and carry out targeted cleaning, and finally use a man-made card called a "mortuary box" to collect them and transport them back to the company warehouse.

As for the clearing and reconstruction of roads and buildings, it is the responsibility of other teams in the Cleaning Department and colleagues in the Engineering Department.

Wang Xi withdrew his thoughts and nodded to show that he understood.

"Work in pairs, in stages."

Raven stopped and turned to the crowd.

After assigning a few groups, he pointed to one side.

"Yuhe, take Wang Xi over there. Don't just chat for a while, focus on it."

"Know it."

Zhu Yuhe responded, feeling delighted.

Isn't this giving her a chance to be alone?
Uncle Raven is usually serious, but he's actually a thoughtful and considerate man. Knowing he's single, he leaves the new handsome guy to him...

Hey, hey hey.

Zhu Yuhe grabbed Wang Xi's arm and walked quickly.

She turned around and yelled:
"Uncle! If you die in the line of duty someday, I'll buy you the biggest wreath!"

Raven was stunned and everyone burst into laughter.

By the time the cursing voices were heard, Wang Xi had already been dragged away by Zhu Yuhe to the designated work area.

This is the ruins of a collapsed residential area.

The surroundings were covered in a multicolored, sugary substance, making it sticky and slippery. Even through the filters of his protective suit, Wang Xi could smell a rich, sweet aroma. It was like the strange aroma of toffee mixed with chocolate and various fruit candies.

It was fine at first, but gradually I started to feel nauseous.

Wang Xi and Zhu Yuhe were the first to arrive before a sugared figure. It was an old man in a short coat, covered in green syrup that had long since hardened, like a wax figure, frozen in a fallen position.

It seems that when the disaster struck, the old man hurriedly ran out of the house, trying to escape, but ended up dying here.

"Handsome boy, let me show you first."

Zhu Yuhe said to Wang Xi.

Immediately, she started the chainsaw.

Hiss—rumble!

The girl held the chainsaw in both hands and chopped it horizontally at the soles of the sugared human's feet.

Zizizi! !

A sharp and piercing noise was heard, and the high-speed rotating saw blade cut the soles of the old man's feet, and the hardened green sugar coating actually splashed out dazzling sparks.

After a while, the parts of the corpse that were stuck to the ground were cut off by the electric saw, and the whole body fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhu Yuhe took out another card and used it to transform it into a metal cabinet that looked like a coffin.

She clicked on the chainsaw.

With a few clicks, the saw blade retracted into the machine box by itself, and a pair of huge clamps popped out. After fixing the sugared corpse, three metal brackets extended from the bottom of the machine box to support it on the ground.

woo-

The clamp automatically lifted the body and Zhu Yuhe operated it to place it smoothly into the metal cabinet.

When the cabinet door slowly closed, it turned back into a card and was skillfully put into Zhu Yuhe's pocket.

"If the body is relatively intact, it needs to be cleaned like this. If it is damaged or difficult to handle, it needs to be cut up before collection."

The girl turned and said to Wang Xidao.

The latter nodded to show that he understood.

"There's a dog over there, go try it."

Zhu Yuhe pointed to a husky that was frozen in a running posture about ten meters away and said.

"Row."

Wang Xi said this and walked over.

Looking at the dog corpse in front of him that was covered in pink syrup and had already hardened, he took a deep breath and imitated Zhu Yuhe, summoning Cupid's chainsaw and turning it on.

Hiss—rumble!
The saw's operation caused a violent vibration, which would have been difficult for Wang Xi to control in the past. However, his physique had been strengthened, and he was able to hold the more than ten-pound instrument steadily.

Zizizi! !

Wang Xi swung the saw blade horizontally, aiming at the dog's four legs and cutting off the sticky parts like a hot knife into butter.

The pink husky fell straight to its side.

"Wow! Not bad!"

Zhu Yuhe walked over and exclaimed.

She looked at Wang Xi several times.

"Handsome boy, you're a quick learner and have excellent physique. The chainsaw didn't even shake... When Yu Zihan first came here, he almost sawed off his own leg."

The "Yu Zihan" she was referring to was the aloof, long-haired young man from Group 2. He was said to be a graduate of a prestigious university and his goal was to become a professional hero.

"I like to exercise normally."

Wang Xi smiled and explained casually.

Zhu Yuhe took out a new artificial card "Mortuary Box" and collected all the dog corpses.

She laughed when she heard this and said:
"Athletic student?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuhe was becoming more and more interested in him, Wang Xi secretly felt that something was wrong.

He had no feelings for this female colleague and vowed not to toy with girls' feelings anymore. He decided to turn over a new leaf and officially cut ties with his past life as a sea king.

But the best solution at the moment is not to refuse outright, after all, the other party has not made any clear proposal.

So Wang Xi decided to take another approach.

That is "down there".

As long as you are humble enough to overwhelm the natural goodwill brought by your appearance, the other person will naturally lose any thoughts or interests in this regard.

Given his rich emotional experience and experience with women, it is too easy for him to play a "shrimp-headed man".

In my heart, it was as if there was a villain named Wang Xi, who silently took out the "Shrimp Head Bible" and opened the first article -

Making dirty jokes.

"Yeah, a gym student."

Wang Xi laughed.

"I also like playing basketball. I can play solo with others all night long. Do you want to try it with me? I guarantee you won't be able to get out of bed the next day."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuhe was stunned.

Behind the glass mask, her pretty eyebrows slowly frowned.

Seeing this, Wang Xi seemed to hear the sound of his favorability dropping, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Actually, it’s pretty good to be colleagues.

"Really... is it really possible?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuhe's cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she stammered.

"I'm not very strong, but I'll try to play with you all night."

"?"

Wang Xi looked stunned.

Not sisters!

Did you not understand and really think you were going to play basketball, or did you understand and really want to play basketball?!
