Sky Heroes
For the next month, Xiao Yu's life was largely the same. During the day, he sat in the virtual office building of the game company with other BOSS players and hero players, receiving consultations from the copywriters.
The writers need to write a lot of game storylines. Since they don't know which ones will be useful and which ones won't be triggered, they often have to write several storylines for each character. In addition to writing game storylines, there are also professional writers who write official game story novels, and they also need the help of players like Xiao Yu.
In the evenings, Xiao Yu would take a walk in the game to check on the construction progress of the Immortal Throne. As time went by, this huge dungeon palace was finally nearing completion, with only the BOSS's arrival remaining.
By the end of the month, the first volume of the official novel for the game "Rise of the Elemental King" was finally completed.
Xiao Yu got his hands on a first-print limited edition copy as soon as it was available, and then read it all in one go.
The plot of this book is not unfamiliar; it mainly tells the story of Azathoth Water Elemental Prince, who embarks on the path to becoming the Elemental King in order to seek revenge.
The story begins with Esmehalda's first summoning of Azathoth and ends with her defeating Ragnaros and becoming the Elemental King. As the first book in the entire series, the plot is full of twists and turns and is quite exciting.
Especially the complex psychological descriptions, the various crushing plot twists, and even the fictionalized events Zhang Xinghun created to enhance the story's excitement, making the whole narrative feel epic. After reading it, Xiao Yu couldn't help but marvel at his own awesomeness.
He's not the only one to have earned the honor of adapting his own experiences into a game novel. Many other bosses and heroes also have their own independent novels, but most of them are standalone books. Only those who make it into the top three are qualified to write a trilogy. As for the final boss of the expansion pack, "The Rise of the Elemental King" is intended to be an entire series.
Moreover, it was released as an official main storyline novel.
On the one hand, the game's popularity can be used to boost the novel's sales; on the other hand, the novel can be used to increase the character's popularity, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
It's quite a strange feeling to see your game character become the protagonist of a novel, but the strangest thing doesn't end there.
On this day, as soon as Xiao Yu arrived at the game company's virtual office building, he found that the BOSS players and hero players were having a heated discussion, passing around cards in their hands.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
As soon as Leah Bloodmoon saw him, she rushed over to greet him, "Ha, Captain, you've finally arrived! Quickly log into the game and see if you've received any cards."
A card? Xiao Yu was puzzled, but after asking, he finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that Sky Game Company launched a new game this morning, a card battle game called "Sky Heroes".
This game is a spin-off of "Sky World," a card battle game. It's considered a spin-off because all the game cards in this game can be traced back to the original Sky World.
This game isn't much different from traditional card battle games; it's simply about Summon Minions, casting spells, and defeating the opponent's hero to achieve victory. Although the cards come from the game "Sky World," that doesn't make it any more outstanding, as many games have released accompanying card games to make money in the past.
Judging solely from the game's quality, this game is decent but unremarkable. However, this card game has made an unprecedented innovation.
In addition to the regular follower cards, weapon cards, and spell cards, this game also features a unique card system.
All players who have played a role in the storyline in the Sky World can transform their storyline character into a unique, exclusive card.
The standard for this storyline character is that their name can be displayed in the game even if they are not an adventurer player.
Basically, as long as a game character reaches the level of Rare Elite or above, you can obtain the corresponding card; each character can only obtain one card.
The game system will automatically generate a card based on the player's character's attributes and experience; even a dead character can obtain a corresponding card.
This is quite interesting, after all, it's very satisfying to see your character turn into a card in a card game.
Moreover, having a unique, exclusive card can be quite fun.
Xiao Yu was somewhat interested in card games, so he immediately logged into the Sky World. Sure enough, on the game login screen, there was a new option to convert characters into cards.
He has three characters that can be converted into cards: Azathoth, Elemental King; Eric the Goblin Pyromancer; and Raglios, the Balrog Lord.
Xiao Yu converted all three characters into cards, resulting in three cards of different qualities.
The first card is [Eric the Goblin Pyromancer (Rare Minion Card)].
Mana cost: 4 mana.
Follower Attributes: Attack 4, Health 4.
Card Effect: Flame Bomb Storm - Deals 5 points of fire damage to any random enemy.
The second card is [Raglios, the Balrog Lord (Legendary Minion Card)].
Mana cost: 8 mana.
Follower Attributes: Attack 8, Health 8.
Card effect: Deathrattle, deal 5 Fire damage to all minions and summon two 2/2 Lava minions.
The third card [Azathoth, Elemental King (Mythical Minion Card)]

Card Effect: Choice
Elemental Absorption: Eliminate all elemental creatures on the field. Draw one card for each elemental creature eliminated and gain +2/+2.
Elemental Summoning: Randomly summons an Elemental Lords to fight alongside you.
Holding the three cards, Xiao Yu returned to the game company's virtual building.
"Wow, how come you have three? I only have one!" Seeing the card "Leah Bloodmoon" in Xiao Yu's hand, she was clearly a little unhappy.
"That's because I've played three story characters," Xiao Yu said, glancing at the card of Leah Bloodmoon.
[Leah Bloodmoon, the Great Elementalist (Legendary Follower Card)]
Mana cost: 7 mana.
Follower Attributes: Attack 5, Health 5.
Card effect: Battlecry - Summon a random elemental creature.
"Her card isn't as good as mine, look at mine." The Big Water Cunt offered his cards.
[Big Water Cunt, the Wastewater Elemental Lord (Legendary Minion Card)]
Mana cost: 8 mana.
Follower Attributes: Attack 6, Health 8.
Card effect: At the end of each turn, summon a 2/2 Poisonous Slime.
After reviewing the cards of his two subordinates, Xiao Yu also showed them his own card Azathoth, Elemental King.
"Holy crap, a Mythic minion card! This is the first time I've ever seen one! That's insane!" The exclamation from the Big Water Cunt immediately attracted the attention of the others.
