Chapter 148 Intermission 34
Feng Bujue selected EXP for the additional reward without hesitation, and the puzzle card that he drew was Puzzle Card: Dog. Once he obtained the card, a possible combination appeared in his mind. He retrieved the other puzzle cards from his storage and held them in his hands. He opened the menu and selected the ’combine’ option.
"Found one possible combination."
A new window appeared on the menu, and the combination was similar to the one in Feng Bujue’s mind. The card set was ’Taz the Tasmanian Devil’, a classical cartoon character from Warner Bro’s Looney Toons. It could be made from Puzzle Card: Dog and Puzzle Card: Spin.
Feng Bujue hesitated for a moment. Since he already had Puzzle Card: Monkey and now with the card, Dog, he felt like the possibility of combination was endless. For example, the three Generals, Momotaro, twelve Zodiac, and so on... Both of these cards were part of the combination, and these were card sets that would require quite a number of cards, so their corresponding equipment would be better in quality.
However, after some thought, he decided to create the card set and see what kind of item he could get from a two-card card set.
"You are choosing to create the card set: Taz the Tasmanian Devil. Please confirm."
Feng Bujue clicked confirm, and the two Puzzle Cards dissolved into white light. A new card then appeared in his hand. In terms of size, it was no different from a normal Puzzle Card, the size of a Tarot card, and it had pictures drawn on both sides. But there was a difference on the card edge. The card appeared to have the same thickness as the rest, but the picture somehow had a holographic feel to it. Plus, the card itself felt heavier than before.
"Card set created. Would you like to trade it in for equipment?" the system asked.
Since this was his first card set, he was not going to sell it. In any case, the equipment traded for the card set would have the lowest quality of excellent. Feng Bujue was not afraid of being scammed. He chose yes again, and the card in his hand disappeared in a pool of light.
On the other side of the storage room, a column of white light appeared, and it materialized into a new glass tube. Feng Bujue walked toward it, and the equipment inside was forming. This time, the size was quite large. He took it out to take a look.

He clicked the social option on the touch screen. In his friend list, only two names were lit up. One was naturally Flashes of Sword. The guy’s status was still free. He was probably busy dealing with the arrangements of Hard Drive 2455-A-1. The other person who was online was Long Aomin, but unfortunately, Brother Long was already in-game. He had probably gotten on when Feng Bujue was already in-game and decided to queue up alone.
Initially, Feng Bujue had planned to queue up for Killing Game alone, but he had ended up being invited by Flashes of Sword to join his team. In the scenario, he did not come across the enemy team at all before ending the scenario. Without even realizing it, the PvP scenario had turned into a team survival scenario. The system had quite a good eye when giving the players their titles. The title, Plot Explorer, suited Feng Bujue a little bit too well.
Feng Bujue had a realization after so many hours of gaming that the mode he was most familiar with and, coincidentally, the mode that he preferred was Team Survival Mode. In terms of the horror effect, it was Survival Mode that was more standard. To hope for the other team to scare him in a Killing Game was a bit too preposterous.
He clicked the few buttons on the touch screen and decided to queue up for a Team Survival Mode alone.
"Feng Bujue, Level 18
