Chapter 279 - 【Chapter 279, Card Draw】

After watching the entire replay of the plot, Ye Qi had a complicated expression and could only say one thing: "The entertainment industry is truly chaotic."

In reality, Qiao Xuening is also someone who will stop at nothing to become famous. However, in her battle with Lin Yiyan, this fake sisterhood, just as she was about to surpass Lin Yiyan, Lin Yiyan kicked her into an ice cellar, almost causing her to be blacklisted. Ultimately, driven by a twisted psyche, she killed Lin Yiyan and buried her body in ice. The two initially pretended to be sisters, but when the act broke down, they even resorted to murder with a knife…

Liu Qiao concluded, "That's terrifying."

Shao Qingge asked with a smile, "Xiao Ye, after this case, do you still want to work in the entertainment industry?"

Ye Qi forced a smile and said, "This is just an isolated case. There are many people in the entertainment industry who take acting and singing seriously. We can't generalize... I only know that if I were to go into the entertainment industry, I would definitely not casually recognize any brothers or sisters."

Shao Qingge nodded: "Yes, it's very likely that those good brothers and sisters will stab you in the back at a crucial moment."

Yu Hanjiang put away the story card and looked at Red Heart A, saying, "Are there any other rewards?"

Hearts Sister said with a smile, "Of course! Everyone will receive a special function card upon clearing this level."

Everyone got excited when they heard this and immediately flipped open the card holder to check.

[Function Card: Disguise]

Rarity: A

Description: This is a limited-edition Hearts 9 escape room card, personally crafted by Ms. Qiao Xuening. It can be obtained after a perfect completion of the game.

Restrictions: All types of escape rooms except the heart room can be used.

Uses: Special function card, the card disappears after one use.

Effect: Using the Disguise Card allows you to temporarily change your appearance, transforming into any imaginary character. The disguise lasts for 4 hours. PS: You can also become Qiao Xuening.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qi couldn't help but shudder, saying, "What the hell is turning into Qiao Xuening? I'm afraid I'll have nightmares every time I sleep! I don't want to see a Qiao Xuening grinning sinisterly behind me when I look in the mirror."

Everyone felt uneasy after Ye Qi's words and ignored the cards.

The last description.

Xiao Lou said, "The difference between this card and Liu Qiao's transformation card is that Liu Qiao's card can only transform into a person or animal seen within 10 minutes, while the disguise card can transform into an imagined person, but not an animal. The duration is also different."

Liu Qiao's card is an S card, which won't be damaged, but its duration is short. The disguise card lasts for 4 hours, but unfortunately it disappears after one use.

Yu Hanjiang said, "The disguise card has a wider range of applications, allowing you to transform into an idol star. The only drawback is that it's a disposable item."

Long Sen asked excitedly, "For example, Michael Jordan, who is very good at basketball. I can imagine what he looks like. Can I change into him using a disguise card?"

Red Heart A smiled and nodded: "That's right, it can only be used once, so you have to choose the right opportunity to use it. The disguise card only changes your appearance; it doesn't inherit the other person's abilities. Don't think that just because you've become Jordan, you can play basketball like him."

Long Sen chuckled dryly, "I was just using an analogy."

Xiao Lou put the card away and looked at Yu Hanjiang, saying, "This card can actually be used as an undercover agent, especially in the later Plum Blossom Secret Chamber. If we can't beat the Hunter, we can transform into their appearance and confuse them."

Ye Qi laughed and said, "Before, if you couldn't win, you would run away. Now, if you can't win, you disguise yourself?"

Everyone: "..."

If you can't win a fight, disguise yourself—that's a new idea that Ms. Qiao Xuening has provided for everyone.

If each person has a disguise card and they all become the same person, the Hunter Alliance would probably be very confused—how can eight people look exactly the same?

The Heart Room reward cards this time aren't very strong. Yu Hanjiang put away the fixed reward cards and asked, "Can we draw cards now?"

Red Heart A placed two treasure chests in front of everyone: "Please, everyone."

Last time in the Spade Secret Room event, Shao Qingge contributed the most by transforming into the Insect King, so all the rewards were drawn by Shao Qingge. This time, Shao Qingge took the initiative to say, "I didn't help much, so Captain Yu and Professor Xiao should draw the rewards."

The other teammates had no objections.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou exchanged a glance: "One for each of us?"

Xiao Lou said, "Okay, let's smoke together."

The two of them simultaneously reached into the treasure chest—

[Weapon Card: Hand-Grenade]

Rarity: S

Description: You have a chance to win this prize when you achieve a perfect S rank in the lottery.

Uses: S cards are not destroyed after use, but only five grenades can be used in each room. After using up all the uses, the card goes into cooldown and is refreshed the next time you enter a room.

Effect: Throwing a grenade into a designated area can create a wide-range explosion, destroying buildings, clearing obstacles, or be used in conjunction with other control cards to throw into groups of enemies. Please explore how to use it yourself.

Yu Hanjiang said with satisfaction, "This card is good; it's a weapon of mass destruction."

Ye Qi exclaimed excitedly, "If we combine it with my instrument and use crowd control, we could instantly wipe out dozens of people on the other side!"

Previously, the various guns Yu Hanjiang drew, including melee and sniper rifles, were all single-shot weapons, capable of killing one enemy at a time. Sometimes, they couldn't keep up with the speed of a large number of enemies advancing. However, area-of-effect weapons like grenades are extremely useful when facing large groups of enemies. For example, in the previous Zerg-themed dungeon, throwing a few grenades into the swarm would set it ablaze, significantly reducing the difficulty.

Everyone was delighted that Captain Yu had drawn such a useful weapon card, and they all turned their attention to Xiao Lou: " What about Professor Xiao's?"

Qu Wanyue joked, " Professor Xiao, did you draw a poet again this time?"

Xiao Lou reluctantly flipped open the card in her hand.

[Summoning Card: Lu You]

Rarity: S

Description: You have a chance to win this prize when you achieve a perfect S rank in the lottery.

Additional Skill 1: A severe storm on November 4th.

Lying awake at night, I listen to the wind and rain; in my dreams, I see iron horses and icy rivers.

One of Lu You's famous works. When the time in the secret room is [Day 4] or at [4 AM] every day, you can randomly select a location to summon Lu You, causing lightning and thunder to strike the entire scene, putting all enemies within the scene into a state of fear, unable to attack, for 10 minutes.

Additional Skill 2: Plum Blossom

I have no intention of vying for spring's favor, letting all the other flowers be envious. Though I fall and turn to dust, my fragrance remains unchanged.

In this poem, Lu You praised the noble character of the plum blossom, saying that even when the plum blossom is crushed into dust, it can still exude a delicate fragrance.

Summoning Lu You allows him to designate a 500-square-meter area to be filled with plum blossoms, creating a beautiful plum blossom forest. The elegant fragrance of the plum blossoms will confuse enemies, causing all enemies within the area to fall into a hallucination state for up to 10 minutes. This can only be used once every 24 hours.

Ye Qi couldn't help but exclaim, "Two incredibly powerful crowd control skills!"

Previously, the duration of card crowd control skills was very short. Lu You's cards had more restrictions. The first skill had to be used on the fourth day or at 4 a.m., and the second skill could only be used once every 24 hours.

But the advantage is that the control period is very long.

Ten minutes of crowd control is enough to cover the collective evacuation of teammates at critical moments.

Xiao Lou sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation—he had practically summoned all the famous poets and lyricists!
