But the moment the player chose "Let's play Gwent," the client's tearful face would instantly turn into the expression they wore before a card match, just short of shouting, "DUEL!"
Gwent could help people catch their breath when their thoughts were in chaos, steady their minds, and further sort out their emotions. Usually, after a single round, even someone on the verge of collapse could calm down.
"Mm. If this Leshen truly descended according to the Ecological Will's method, then its position in this world should be more dangerous than in its original world. The wild animals it can control here are nowhere near comparable to those of its original world."

That meant it could theoretically control even stronger dragon-beast units.
At the very least, the leader of a Jagras pack, the Great Jagras,
