#388 - I must have done something wrong while practicing card skills in a girls' school (2 in 1
At that moment, the game livestream continued.
Little Dumpling had no idea why there were suddenly so many beautiful girls in his living room!
He had no choice but to return to his bedroom in frustration, simply diving into his blanket, planning to catch up on his sleep.
The air was filled with a sweet strawberry scent, and a fair and delicate little hand gently lifted the lace-edged corner of the blanket.
The blonde-haired girl with pigtails, Elena, poked her head out, her clear blue eyes sparkling with innocence, her cherry-like mouth slightly pouting, like a spoiled kitten.
"Little Dumpling~ Wake up!"
Her soft, glutinous voice carried a spoiled tone as she reached out and tickled Little Dumpling's face, "Let's go take a bath together? I'll scrub your back~"
As she spoke, Elena's black silk-covered thighs emerged from the blanket, outlining tempting curves. The maid outfit she wore was tantalizingly short, her fair skin faintly visible, evoking endless fantasies.
Little Dumpling frowned, waving his hand impatiently: "I want to play cards, play cards, go away quickly!"
His gaze landed on the stack of cards on the bedside table, his heart ignited with fighting spirit for today's game.
No one should think about disturbing his card playing!
Just then, light footsteps came from outside the door, and a girl's figure drew closer. She wore a knee-length sailor uniform, white cotton socks covering a pair of exquisite and shapely calves, swaying slightly with her steps.
"Little Dumpling, quickly put on your coat!" Sakura Yuko handed over the school uniform jacket in her hand, revealing a sweet smile. Her long hair fluttered slightly, and a clean, fresh aura wafted over.
Little Dumpling pushed Sakura Yuko away without even turning his head.
So what if you're a JK? Who cares about this inexplicable beautiful girl, his whole mind is now on card battles!
"Hey! Don't be so violent." A slightly magnetic female voice sounded from behind.
Little Dumpling looked back and saw a short-haired beauty in a motorcycle jacket leaning against the door frame. She casually tossed her helmet onto the table, a clean and crisp movement, exuding a sense of boldness.
"Come go for a ride with me outdoors? The weather's nice today."
Yang Zihan blinked her teasing eyes, twirling a motorcycle key with her fingertip. Her T-shirt tightly wrapped her firm yet supple upper body curves, and black low-waisted jeans outlined her long and powerful thighs.
"Get lost! I said don't disturb my studies!" Little Dumpling didn't even look at her, directly slamming the door shut.
Livestream comments:
"Oh my god, so there really are people who love playing cards this much, tears."
"This is insane!"
"What the heck kind of sci-fi movie is this?"
At this moment, a sharp alarm clock rang, startling Little Dumpling from his sweet dream.
He abruptly opened his eyes, instantly devastated by the sight before him: he was lying on that narrow single bed, surrounded by the cold, hard dormitory walls.
Where were the beauties from his dream?
Instead, there was a scattered mess of cards on the floor and a thick stack of textbooks on the sofa.
"Heavens, earth!" Little Dumpling covered his face in grief, the contrast in his heart causing him piercing pain. It turned out he was just a deadbeat otaku who loved playing cards, drifting further and further away from the campus beauties!
He listlessly picked up the book "An Introduction to Battle Card Construction" from the blanket and slammed it onto the floor. A sense of powerlessness instantly swallowed his remaining fighting spirit, replaced by a deep helplessness and self-deprecation towards this "card-playing life."
There was no choice, in this world, only playing cards could lead to success!
His parents, who were working-class, had spent their savings accumulated over many years to send him to Taoyuan Academy, he couldn't slack off!
Tears welled up in Little Dumpling's eyes, but he finally gritted his teeth, picked up the book from the floor, and leaned back against the headboard to start studying again…
As long as he played his cards well, wouldn't a promotion, raise, and marrying a rich and beautiful woman be a certainty?
At this moment, the comments were going crazy:
"Hahahaha, thank goodness, it was just a dream!"
"Your fantasy time is up, please return to reality next."
…
Immediately following this, the scene switches, showing the Taoyuan Academy gate.
On a new Monday, students are densely packed, preparing to enter the school gate.
The morning sun shines on the sidewalk in front of the school gate, outlining shimmering diagonal shadows. The gate of Taoyuan Academy is surrounded by a youthful clamor and vigor.
Female students walk by in small groups, their knee-length skirts fluttering in the wind, like blooming flowers.
As the fragrance of these girls enters his nose, Little Dumpling lowers his head, silently walking alone.
His profile is hidden in the shadows, a hint of loneliness in his drooping dead-fish eyes. This scene formed such a stark contrast to his dream, and a wave of bewilderment rose in his heart again.
Little Dumpling then remembered, although he didn't know why, he was enrolled in an all-girls school.
In other words, besides him, all the students in the school were girls!
A bitter arc formed on Little Dumpling's lips.
However, even surrounded by beauties, he still had to play friggin' cards at this all-girls school!
Just then, a tall, black-haired beauty passed by him.
Their eyes met in mid-air, Little Dumpling's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly opened his mouth: "Yuko!"
Yuko turned to the side, revealing a humble and polite smile, her fair and beautiful face faintly revealing a beautiful charm.
Her lowered eyes blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering, as docile and lovable as a clever little deer: "Little Dumpling, good morning."
Hmm? Wait! Is something not quite right? Little Dumpling blinked.
The sensual dream of last night flashed through his mind, forming a stark contrast to the distant and polite scene before him, and a hint of bitterness involuntarily climbed into his heart.
Ah, this faint, damn sense of distance!
In the end, a dream is still a dream!
Little Dumpling sighed inwardly, suddenly realizing a problem:
"Why are you coming in from outside the school? The girls' dormitory for the first-year students in our Card Battle Department isn't inside the school? Only I, as a male student, live in an apartment outside the school."
Yuko paused slightly, looking a little guilty, but quickly raised the plastic bag in her hand, explaining in a perfunctory manner: "Oh, I went out to eat breakfast."
As she spoke, she subconsciously hid the plastic bag in her arms, shrinking into a small ball, like a frightened white rabbit. But this childish action inadvertently outlined her graceful figure, particularly alluring.
Yuko didn't seem to realize the flirtatious nature of her actions, simply lowering her eyes, a blush rising on her cheeks, making her even more shy and adorable.
At this moment, the game interface popped up two options for Little Dumpling to choose:
[Option 1: I don't believe you, are you fooling me?]
[Option 2: Oh, I see.]
The comments complained: "Good heavens, I knew the Taoyuan Village game wouldn't be so simple, this is definitely a GALGAME, right?"
G-chan started analyzing in the livestream:
"Since it's a beautiful girl with whom we're not so familiar, let's be cautious…"
She chose option two: "Oh, I see."
Hearing Little Dumpling's nonchalant reply, a trace of disappointment flashed between Yuko's eyebrows, and the blush on her face gradually faded.
She seemed to be hoping that Little Dumpling could ask a few more questions, perhaps she had some little secret hidden deep inside, hoping that Little Dumpling would further uncover it.
In the livestream, the audience was in an uproar:
"Is this still called a male lead? He's clearly a love idiot!"
"Quickly choose the first option, launch an attack!"
"G-chan, don't be a coward, interrogate that girl fiercely for me!"
"I'm begging you, at least ask a few more questions! What a pure idiot!"
"Friends, let's look forward to when this male protagonist can leave his virgin status and step into the threshold of adulthood together."
…
G-chan: "Don't worry, I suspect there must be some hidden reason for the male lead to enroll in an all-girls school, maybe he's here to overcome a tribulation, for example, maybe there's a love tribulation that needs to be overcome?"
The audience laughed: "With the male lead's unyielding appearance, are you sure he's overcoming a love tribulation?"
After that, Little Dumpling followed Yuko into the teaching building of the «Card Battle Department».
He saw that the classroom walls were hung high with various trophies from the «Taoyuan Village Battle Card Championship», and the showcases displayed sets of rare cards, as well as signed portraits of past champion alumni.
It could be seen that in any corner of the academy city, one could feel a fanatical atmosphere of card dueling.
The classroom was already filled with all kinds of girls, some were studying their card decks with their heads down, and some were whispering.
Seeing that they couldn't find a seat, a blonde-haired girl with pigtails in the back row, wearing a sailor uniform, was waving at them: "Hey, you two, there are seats here."
She was the same Elena that Little Dumpling had dreamed of yesterday.
Elena's figure was petite and exquisite, her skin fair and almost transparent. Her clear blue eyes blinked timidly, and a sly smile spread across the corners of her eyes.
A pair of white silk socks were carefully worn on her slender ankles, outlining shapely calf curves, vaguely visible under her skirt.
While class hadn't started yet, she secretly took off her shoes, her two tender white feet casually dangling under the seat, gently swaying from time to time, exuding a fragrant milky scent.
Little Dumpling stared at those feet, then stared at the milk bottle in his hand.
Hiss… could they be even more fragrant than milk?
She noticed Little Dumpling looking over, gave him a sweet smile, and her cherry-like mouth pouted slightly, like a spoiled kitten.
The LSPs in the livestream comments went crazy:
"Damn! Elena is truly a mischievous little witch, innocently teasing my heart."
"Milk and ice cream sales are stagnant, please help us!"
The latest novel is first published at Six/Nine/Book/Bar!
"Good heavens, is everyone in the livestream a pervert now?"
Little Dumpling naturally sat down next to Elena, and a fragrance wafted over. Beside him, Elena's pigtails trembled with her movements, captivating his soul.
G-chan: "I like Elena too, she's a bit like Marie Rose from «Dead or Alive»."
"Hey, Yuko, why did you run to the front?" Little Dumpling waved towards the front row in puzzlement, "Sit here!"
Yuko turned her head, quickly glanced at Little Dumpling, then glanced at Elena.
She shook her head slightly disappointedly: "No need, I'll sit here."
Elena quietly leaned into Little Dumpling's ear: "Dumpling classmate, you don't need to worry about her, Sakura Yuko has always been like this in class, aloof, as if she's hiding some secret."
As she spoke, her delicate drooping eyes narrowed slightly, and a teasing smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
The game popped up options:
[Option 1: Then why don't you sit in the front row?]
[Option 2: Oh, I see.]
G-chan thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll choose one this time?"
Little Dumpling retorted decisively.
The livestream was instantly in an uproar:
"Hey, you don't choose two when you should choose two, I'm really worried about the streamer."
"Thank you, streamer, for successfully curing my low blood pressure."
"I couldn't hold back, I laughed like a pig, I'm so amused!"
"I'm kneeling, when will we leave the friendship line? Hurry up and flirt!"
"I'm laughing like crazy, I'm really defeated by this silly streamer!"
Elena rested her chin on her hand, puffed up her little cheeks, and softly replied: "Because they don't really like me, why would I go looking for trouble?"
"Why don't they like you?"
Elena pouted and lazily put her delicate white feet back into her shoes,
"Heh, who knows, the reasons why girls hate someone are actually very simple."
"Oh…"
Little Dumpling scratched his head.
It seemed that the interpersonal relationships in this class were a bit… complicated.
…
Just then, the female professor walked into the classroom:
"Good morning, girls, are you all still full of energy today?"
"Good morning, Professor Iris!"
The girls stood up and saluted, Little Dumpling looked around and awkwardly stood up as well.
Then, the female professor began teaching, and the game popped up a battle card tutorial:
…
«Taoyuan Village Battle Card» is a two-player battle-type collectible card game based on classic game characters from the Taoyuan Village Company.
Before the battle begins, you first need to construct a deck of 50 cards.
First, the cards are divided into the following types:
First is the «Envoy Card», the envoy card summoned by each player on the field can use moves to attack the opponent's standing envoy, or withstand the opponent's character's attack.
The card face also has the character's «Name», «Health Value», «Camp» and «Moves»
In addition, the side of the card will also indicate the «SP value» required to activate the envoy's skills and the damage the skill can cause.
And the «SP value» that needs to be discarded for retreat
In the lower corner of the card, the «Weakness Camp» and «Resistance Camp» are displayed
Subsequently, the game interface displays the envoy card of «Iliya» (appearing in the work: «NekoPara»), for example.
The card features a beautiful catgirl Iliya character illustration, her camp is «Demi-human», her weakness camp is «Mechanical», and her resistance camp is «Beast».
That is to say, when Iliya is on the field, when she receives skill damage from the mechanical camp «Helena» (appearing in the work: «Chrono Ma:gia»), the damage is X2.
When using envoy cards, it should be noted that envoys have three stages of evolution.
These are "Common Stage," "Growth Stage," and "Perfect Stage."
The Envoy's stamina and available moves will change depending on the evolutionary stage.
If you have an Envoy of the "Common Stage" in your hand, you can directly place it on the duel board to deploy it.
......
Next, the tutorial starts introducing SP Energy Cards.
Envoys from different factions need to use Energy Cards of different colors. Generally, only one SP Energy can be attached to an Envoy per turn.
SP Cards are the basis for Envoys to activate skills. If the Envoy's move description includes "Colorless Energy Marker," then SP Energy of any attribute can meet the requirement.
......
The third type of card is "Duelist Cards," including Item Cards, Character Cards, and Field Cards.
Each Item Card has a different effect. After use, it is placed in the discard pile, and there is no limit to the number of uses. Each Envoy can equip one Item.
Character Cards are all from the classic protagonists of the Peach Garden Paradise game, and different characters will have different support effects.
After a Field Card is used, it will remain on the field, and both dueling sides can use the field effect.
......
When dueling, first shuffle the deck thoroughly and place it in the deck position. Use rock-paper-scissors to determine who goes first. The first player has a chance to evolve their Envoy Card faster, but cannot use Character Cards or skills in the first round.
Draw 6 cards from the top of the deck as your hand, choose a basic Envoy Card, and place it face down on the battlefield. If you have other Envoys in your hand, you can also place them in the standby area.
Then, draw 6 cards face down from the top of the deck as reward cards.
Conditions for winning the game:
First, the side that makes the opponent duelist "faint" and obtains all their reward cards wins.
Second, the side that makes the opponent duelist "enervated" and the opponent has no Envoy to withstand the damage wins.
Third, the side that makes the opponent duelist "de-armored," with no clothes left to cover their shame, wins.
......
Seeing this, the live broadcast chat went wild:
"Hey, wait a minute, the rules were fine before, but why does it feel a bit off here?"
"Are you sure this isn't a bug?"
