Which Wave?
"At which wave should we stop?"
Guizishi looked at the percentage of [World Remaining Groups] on the panel, which was slowly decreasing, and couldn't help but ask.
"It depends on the situation." Song Shige narrowed his eyes, his pupils turning crimson, and looked at Su Luo. "One person responsible for one side?"
Su Luo nodded.
Consume 200 Tinder Shards to unlock the seventh wave.
Twelve level 7 monsters and fifty level 6 monsters.
1800 Tinder Shards.
Consume 360 Tinder Shards to unlock the eighth wave.
One level 8 monster, ten level 7 monsters, and fifty level 6 monsters.
3000 Tinder Shards.
Therefore, the real world is truly boring. Under higher attack levels, there is no difference between level 7 and level 8 monsters for Su Luo and Song Shige. The difficulty difference between the seventh and eighth waves is actually quite large, but the time consumed is the same.
There were no combat scenes, because everything was instant kills; these monsters, whose Attributes were all below 20, had no power to contend with the two of them.
Both take two seconds; the main difference is the time spent collecting the Tinder Shards and cards.
"Why aren't there any Elite monsters?" Song Shige picked up the fallen card. He hadn't even used his Zhanmadao. The overwhelming killing intent and Martial Will emanating from the condensed [Blood City] phantom behind him were enough to break the minds of these monsters, slow their movements, and prevent them from escaping the Black Flame Domain.
"I don't know, maybe the system is being lazy," Su Luo replied, while simultaneously calculating the increase in monster strength and determining at which wave it should stop.
"Currently, the difficulty and Mana consumption of the monsters should correspond to excellent quality [Tinder]."
Su Luo turned around and glanced at the [Tinder], which was still at Fine quality.
However, maintaining the [Fine] quality of the Tinder was agreed upon in advance, as emphasized earlier in the lobby. If you upgrade to a higher quality, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.
At the same time, if you can protect the [Tinder] in a low-quality [Tinder] environment, it means you can handle the current wave with ease and better control the wave.
"Let's continue."
Consume 600 Tinder Shards to unlock the ninth wave.
Two level 8 monsters and fifteen level 7 monsters.
Five thousand Tinder Shards.
Consume 1,000 Tinder Shards to unlock the tenth wave.
Three level 8 monsters and twenty-five level 7 monsters.
Eight thousand Tinder Shards.
Consuming approximately 5,000 Tinder Shards, the fourteenth wave is activated.
One level 9 monster, and twenty level 8 monsters.
Approximately 35,000 Tinder Shards.
"That's about it. After a few more waves, we'll probably see level 10 monsters. We might not be able to Perfect protect [Tinder] then, since our strength is probably only close to level 9 Elites." The phantom of [Blood City] behind Song Shige slowly dissipated.
Su Luo stayed in the core of the Laboratory, looking at the burned monster remains outside, and sensing the Laboratory's Mana Pool being replenished again. She nodded in satisfaction. "Let's take stock of the spoils first."
A total of 95,000 Tinder Shards and 12 cards were obtained.
There are three cards with the suffix "(full)".
[Wave Advancement Card) ], [Wave Repetition Card) ], [Monster Quantity Amplification Card) ]
Three cards with the suffix "(Random)".
[Wave Advance Card) ], [Negative Buff Application Card) ], [Wave Mirror Card) ]
Three cards with the suffix "(Specified)".
[Wave Mirror Card) ], [Ceasefire Agreement Card) ], [Harvest Card) ]
Three special cards.
[Wheel of Fortune Card) ], [Expansion Card) ], [Reality Interference Card) ]
"I'm tempted to go for another push... but let's play it safe for now and go in."
[Wheel of Fortune Card) ]

[...]
Inside the hall, the light and shadow remained the same, but the atmosphere seemed even more somber than before. Almost all the Forbidden Class from other areas had arrived, except for [Modifier] Chao Ketu.
Just as Su Luo and Song Shige solidified their figures, they saw Jiang Mengrui lying listlessly on the smooth tabletop, playing with a large stack of cards as if she were playing cards.
She suddenly received a live call from Su Luo.
"Hello, Ms. Jiang."
Su Luo greeted them and immediately revealed the [Wheel of Fortune Card) ].
Professional cards should be used by professionals. This card is awesome in Jiang Mengrui's hands! But in Su Luo's and the others' hands, it's worthless.
Jiang Mengrui gave Su Luo a strange look and then showed her an identical card.
"It's okay, it should stack. You should have a [Trade Card) ], right?"
Jiang Mengrui pondered for a moment, then pulled out a small stack of cards from the pile in her hand:
Which one do you want?
"Okay, everyone's here. Please show your card information as agreed, so we can share it and discuss how to use it, especially the cards with the suffix '(full)'..."
Chao Ketu frowned as he entered the hall, and the Scholar's voice immediately followed.
It seems he was the last to arrive, a little later than the others.
Chao Ketu was somewhat annoyed, blaming himself for being too greedy. Seeing tens of thousands of Tinder Shards, he couldn't resist attacking two more waves, but he couldn't even kill the new wave instantly.
It shouldn't affect my development, right?
"I understand that you might be reluctant to use key cards like [Wave Advancement Card) ], which can directly affect the rhythm of the battlefield, in the 'this world' District War..."
"But are you willing to use cards like [Wave Repetition Card) ], which can Copy high-yield waves, in Continued Battle, thus benefiting competitors from other worlds?"
As Su Luo spoke, she showed him ten cards.
Father Tali Lang smiled slightly and showed nine cards.
Following that, Shan Yixian, Gai Li, Mu Hongyuan, and others also showed off their respective collections, ranging from six to fifteen cards with a wide variety of functions.
Finally, all eyes were on Jiang Mengrui. This "Goddess of Luck" remained calm and, under everyone's watchful eyes, displayed the pile of cards in front of her like a game of chance.
Thirty-seven types, forty-five sheets, not counting the ones she hid.
Gai Li Darwin exaggeratedly leaned back in his chair, tucked his deformed, thick arm behind his neck, gazed at the illusory light source at the top of the hall, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.
Su Luo kept her gaze fixed on the card, carefully recording its effect as she pondered Jingjing.
Jiang Mengrui's luck was a bit outrageous; he quickly deduced an extreme scenario in his mind:
If this weren't cooperation, but Life and Death- or-death competition, if Jiang Mengrui were to suddenly decide to unleash her overwhelming power—the sheer number of cards she possessed that could change the course of the battle—on Zone 76...
Therefore, even if he and Song Shige exceptionally strong and won't be eliminated, they will inevitably be caught in endless troubles, unable to make any progress, let alone develop normally.
However, there are no "what ifs" in the world. Right now, everyone is striving to create a win-win situation.
Su Luo quickly suppressed the worst-case scenario and, after digesting all the card information, looked up. "Everyone, the key to our success in this District War will be the combination and application of the cards. First, we need to establish priorities and coordination methods..."
