Chapter 186 - Lucky Draw Part 1 (1/2)

The team perfectly cleared 8 of Hearts and received an S-grade score. The rewards naturally wouldn’t be lacking.

Xiao Lou returned to his senses and found his teammates looking at him doubtfully from behind. He realized he had been distracted by the plot card and his eyes were a bit red as he coughed. “What are the rewards for this room?”

Ye Qi had been waiting for this sentence and he actively looked at A of Hearts. “Sister Hearts, we spent almost half a month in this room and it is an A-grade secret room, which is much more difficult than the B and C grade rooms. Shouldn’t the rewards be a bit more?”

A of Hearts smiled. “Of course. I’ll give you the fixed rewards first.”

She flicked her fingers and 10 new cards appeared in front of the group.

So many cards were neatly arranged together and Xiao Lou couldn’t help his eyes brightening.

The result was that after he took a look—

There were actually eight cards that were the clothing they wore in the ancient secret room!

For example, there was Yu Hanjiang’s ‘prime minister’s official uniform’, Xiao Lou’s ‘moon white long dress’, Long Sen’s ‘black night clothing’, Shao Qingge’s ‘silk clothing’ and even Ye Qi’s ‘custom-made Fragrant Sky House costume.’

Seeing this card, Ye Qi almost coughed up blood. “What the h.e.l.l is the Fragrant Sky House custom clothing? I don’t want to recall the experience of wearing these red clothes as a woman. You actually turned these clothes into cards to reward us? The clothes don’t have much combat power!”

A of Hearts explained, “These are the commemorative cards of 8 of Hearts. In the future, if you are lacking clothing then you can change into these clothes at any time. The advantage is that they can be turned into cards and are convenient to carry. You can bring them to any secret room and can cosplay at any time.”

Everyone, “……”

Qu Wanyue curiously took the card and tried it. She found that after activating the card, she automatically changed into the clothing. It was the set of men’s clothing she wore in Beacon in Troubled Times and she looked heroic.

Qu Wanyue smiled with satisfaction. “You can change clothes in an instant so it is very convenient. It is also tailor-made and the size is right. This type of costume can’t be bought in the City of the Moon. We might need to wear it in the future.”

Compared to ordinary clothes that they had to wear on their bodies, the clothing cards obtained from the Hearts room could be changed into instantly as long as they were activated. This was equivalent to storing a set of clothing that everyone could change into at any time and any place.

The card was easy to carry and only occupied one card slot. Since it was sent by the keeper, everyone naturally had to accept it. Perhaps they would be short of clothing in the future.

Everyone put away their clothing card.

There were 10 cards suspended in the air. Apart from the eight clothing cards, there were two other cards. Ye Qi wondered, “Are these two clothing as well? Professor Xiao, take a look.”

Xiao Lou nodded, reached for a card and turned it over.

[Tool Card: Special Poison Pill]

Rarity: A

Description: The key story item in the world Beacon in Troubled Times. It can be obtained after a perfect clearance.

A team limited card. The team that signed the same contract can only carry one.

A pill developed by Imperial Concubine Xian that looks like rock candy. It is actually highly toxic. Once mixed into tea, vegetables, fruits or meals, it will melt immediately, leaving no traces. It is colourless and odourless. Every use of one capsule is enough to poison an adult man weighing 80 kg.

Capacity: 8 capsules. The card is invalid after they are all used up.

As a good law-abiding citizen, this card is disabled in the main cities.

Ye Qi, “……”

Imperial Concubine Xian didn’t come out but she gave a poison pill to everyone.

Xiao Lou handed the card to Yu Hanjiang, who frowned slightly after taking it. “Giving us the tool of Imperial Concubine Xian means we can also poison people unknowingly, killing them.”

These cards naturally had to be used in a critical life or death moment.

Xiao Lou didn’t want his teammates to panic for the time being and calmly gave the card to Yu Hanjiang. “This card is dangerous. Anyone can use it. If someone steals it, we might end up being poisoned instead. So.. it will be kept by Group Leader Yu for the moment.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded and placed the card in his card pack.

Xiao Lou opened the last fixed reward card.

[Tool Card: White Veil]

Rarity: A

Description: A veil commonly used by the fourth young lady of the prince’s mansion in Beacon in Troubled Times. It can be obtained through a perfect clearance.

Effect: The fourth young lady loved to cover her face since childhood. After using the veil, people can’t see your face clearly and it is easy to mistake your ident.i.ty.

Covering your face with the fourth young lady’s veil can make other people misjudge your features and fail to recognize who you are. The white veil has no cooldown restrictions and can be worn on the face at all times.

This card made people unrecognizable. It was equivalent to an item to cover up their ident.i.ties when investigating a case in the following rooms. However, it had no attack or protection capabilities so it must be used with caution.

So far, the fixed rewards were over. There were eight tailor-made costume cards, two A-grade tool cards and the plot cards that had shown to everyone.

The strength of the fixed reward cards in most secret rooms wasn’t very high. The key was the draw for the perfect clearance.

Everyone was looking forward to the next draw.

Xiao Lou looked at the three treasure chests on the ground. “There are three chances to draw a card?”

A of Hearts replied, “Yes, the previous B-grade secret rooms rewarded you with two draws. At the A level, one treasure chest is added and you can send anyone to draw from it.” She paused and laughed. “You have an S-grade clearance and you are likely to draw S-grade cards.”

Xiao Lou glanced at everyone and asked, “Who wants to draw a card?”

Old Mo was very excited. He had cleared so many secret rooms but never got an S-grade evaluation. He used to get an A rating every time and most of his cards were A-grade cards.

However, the biggest credit in this secret room went to Professor Xiao and Group Leader Yu so he was embarra.s.sed to speak up.

Nevertheless, Xiao Lou seemed to see through Old Mo’s thoughts. His eyes fixed on Old Mo and he smiled warmly. “Old Mo, come.”

Mo Xuemin was flattered and immediately protested, “Cough, how can this be. I didn’t do anything…”

Xiao Lou smiled. “Don’t be modest. You found the clue to the a.s.sa.s.sins’ ident.i.ty from a book. Locking onto the a.s.sa.s.sin plot line is naturally a great achievement. In addition, you are the only one among us who doesn’t have an S-grade card. Everyone else has one.”

Long Sen nodded. “Yes, I and Wanyue have many S-grade cards. Last time, you took us to lie down and win in the secret rooms and I got the soccer and badminton cards.”

Qu Wanyue agreed. “Old Mo, go quickly.”

Liu Qiao also said, “Old Mo, go and draw it. You currently have all A-grade cards and we need to strengthen your combat power.”

The team must have a clear backbone to rely on but they also couldn’t have any obvious shortcomings. The strength of Old Mo’s previous team was average and they only got an A-grade score every time. Old Mo didn’t have an S-grade card yet. Now that the opportunity was here, Xiao Lou naturally wanted Old Mo to enhance his strength.

The teammates all agree to Old Mo drawing the card. In any case, everyone was a whole. It was good for everyone to be strong to clear the secret rooms.

Under the encouragement of his teammates, Mo Xuemin rubbed his hands excitedly and walked to the golden treasure chest. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and prayed. Then he reached into the treasure chest.

[Congratulations to Mo Xuemin for getting the S-grade Tool Card: Marble Brick!]
