Chapter Summary: “Illustrated Handbook War—Future Plans”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Feng Qi, Xiao You, Thunder, and the Li Mao Envoy enter Fate City’s Illustrated Handbook War zone on the fortieth floor.
• The Li Mao Envoy explains the game’s mechanics:
  • Players build decks of 888 cards from a collection of 5,830 illustrated Domain Creature cards.
  • Cards range from one to eight stars, with stronger cards requiring more summoning stars and waiting time.
  • Players must destroy the opponent’s 10,000-durability Life Crystal.
  • Calamity Cards can drastically alter the battlefield but have high costs.
  • Illustrated warriors can level up by hunting wild monsters, making strategy and resource management more important than simply using the strongest cards.
• Feng Qi watches a high-level match between a pale humanoid gambler and an eight-tentacled spiritual creature.
  • The tentacled creature initially gains an advantage by summoning several warriors.
  • The pale man uses a Flame-based Calamity Card to destroy most of them, then builds an army.
  • The battle repeatedly shifts through leveling, ambushes, defensive structures, traps, and powerful combinations.
  • The pale man eventually wins, earning over five million Bloodstones from the wager and Life Crystal damage.
• Feng Qi realizes that Thunder, despite having little practical experience, may possess excellent battlefield-command talent. He plans to fund Thunder’s training, though actual matches are expensive.
• While exploring the game zone, Feng Qi notices many races earning money by serving gamblers rather than gambling themselves. This inspires him to consider having humanity enter Fate City through trade, middleman services, and other nonviolent businesses.
• The Li Mao Envoy introduces Feng Qi and Thunder to low-cost Practice Boards. After waiting for an opening, they begin their own match.
• During deck construction, Feng Qi discovers cards based on several familiar or historically significant races:
  • Doomsday Stone Statue, a powerful defensive unit.
  • Deceptive Ghost Shadow, a growth-type unit that becomes stronger by absorbing defeated enemies.
  • Silver Serpent War Descendant, reflecting the engineering and archery talents of the ancient Silver Serpent Empire.
  • Dark Mist Overlord, whose abilities strongly resemble the Mist Race and suggest a possible ancestral connection.
• Feng Qi quickly assembles a deck without being able to study all 5,830 cards in detail.
• In the practice match:
  • Thunder summons early units and begins leveling them by hunting monsters.
  • Feng Qi uses the powerful Life Forbidden Zone Calamity Card to prevent monsters from spawning in much of Thunder’s territory.
  • Thunder adapts by farming monsters on Feng Qi’s side, then pressures Feng Qi with stronger units.
  • Feng Qi retreats into his defensive Core Area but later gains an advantage after drawing the fast eight-star Nether Soul.
  • Thunder counters with the Earth Shatter Calamity Card, creating a canyon that traps Feng Qi’s units on the wrong side of the battlefield.
  • Feng Qi recovers with a flying transport creature and continues adapting.
  • He briefly reduces Thunder’s Life Crystal to 7,300 durability, but Thunder’s carefully preserved low-star units, upgraded to level ten, eventually overwhelm him.
  • Thunder wins by relying on a large, highly developed army of low-cost cards.
• The post-match statistics show Feng Qi the value of studying mistakes, card abilities, unit combinations, and battlefield control.

Character Developments

• Feng Qi gains a deeper understanding of Illustrated Handbook War and discovers that victory depends on timing, deck synergy, battlefield management, and adaptability rather than card rarity alone.
• He demonstrates strong strategic instincts, using Calamity Cards, defensive positioning, high-speed units, and creative countermeasures, but lacks experience and detailed card knowledge.
• Feng Qi becomes increasingly interested in Fate City as a platform for humanity’s economic and technological development. He begins considering trade networks, service businesses, and even training professional gamblers.
• Thunder proves to be a calm and talented strategist. He quickly adapts to Feng Qi’s attempts to restrict his growth, exploits enemy territory, uses Calamity Cards intelligently, and preserves low-star units for a powerful late-game push.
• The Li Mao Envoy continues acting as Feng Qi’s guide, explaining the game’s systems and directing him toward the Practice Boards.
• The pale humanoid gambler demonstrates expert play through patience, efficient use of Calamity Cards, traps, unit leveling, and coordinated attacks.

Significant Themes

• Strategy over raw power: High-star cards are powerful, but low-cost units, proper leveling, and synergy can ultimately decide a match.
• Adaptability and counterplay: Every strategy can be answered. Players must continually respond to terrain, enemy movements, Calamity Cards, and changing resources.
• Knowledge as power: Success requires memorizing thousands of cards and understanding their abilities, racial traits, and possible combinations.
• Economic opportunity in Fate City: Feng Qi recognizes that wealth can be earned through services, trading, and information rather than combat alone.
• Humanity’s future development: Fate City may provide humanity with access to resources, knowledge, trade routes, and protection, helping it overcome its weak foundation.
• Legacy and racial continuity: The Silver Serpent War Descendant and Dark Mist Overlord cards reveal how ancient factions may have evolved into or influenced present-day races.
• Learning through defeat: Feng Qi’s loss is valuable because it exposes the importance of late-game unit preservation, low-cost card development, and familiarity with card abilities.

Important Character Interactions

• The Li Mao Envoy educates Feng Qi about the rules and recommends the Practice Boards.
• Feng Qi and Thunder agree that Thunder will receive funding to learn and participate in matches, with Feng Qi treating the expense as an investment in Thunder’s talents.
• Feng Qi and Thunder compete directly, with Thunder repeatedly countering Feng Qi’s tactics:
  • He farms monsters on Feng Qi’s territory after his own territory is sealed.
  • He uses a hook-equipped unit to pull Feng Qi’s warriors from safety.
  • He abandons weaker units to lure Feng Qi into a trap.
  • He uses Earth Shatter to divide the battlefield and isolate Feng Qi’s army.
• Their match develops from a simple practice exercise into a serious strategic contest, revealing Thunder’s natural talent and Feng Qi’s growing tactical awareness.
• Feng Qi’s observations of gamblers, service workers, and card representations of ancient races lead him to imagine a future in which humanity interacts with Fate City not only as fighters, but also as merchants, service providers, scholars, and professional players.
