"Use the prop card 'Railway' to draw three cards."

"Use the character card 'Tecumseh' to activate the effect 'United as One', allowing all our characters to share the highest value."

“Use the prop card ‘The Last Step’. The character attacks twice in a row this round. If the opponent still has health after the attack, all health will be deducted from our side.”

"You lost!" Mashao played the last card and declared victory with a smile.

"No, no, let's do it again. I wasn't very good at playing just now." The student scratched his head in frustration.

"Okay, let's do it again." Ma Shao reshuffled the cards and said, "You are all optimistic. I want to know if anyone can beat me today."

"What will happen if I defeat you?" someone suddenly asked.

"I would like to call the person who defeats me the 'Game King'!" Ma Shao said.

Mashao, who has lived in the 21st century, has long been baptized by various lofty titles. In reality, there are pope, head of state, commander-in-chief, emperor and so on. In fantasy, there are also fighting emperors and so on. Yu-Gi-Oh!

Number.

But these young students rarely heard such a sharp title, and they were immediately excited, and they jumped into the card duels one after another.

In order to understand the explanatory text on the cards, the students' enthusiasm for literacy was unprecedentedly high. They gathered around the two players and fiercely corrected each other's reading mistakes.

After just one day, the students' literacy level has been significantly improved.

Ma Shao himself has some experience with this phenomenon. He still remembers memorizing ancient poems when he was a child, and he couldn't recite a few poems in a class. But if he changed it to Xiao Huang's poems that were circulated from unknown sources, he could memorize them after listening to them almost once.

.

Interest is the best teacher.

In addition to debating Chinese language knowledge, students naturally also point out the players' tactics.

"Stop the cauldron, burn the boat immediately! Go up and fuck him!"

"Using the ancient toad, you can collect one point of health every round!"

Faced with this behavior of watching chess and talking loudly, Ma Shao did not stop it, and even encouraged it, because he felt that this behavior and reading coexisted. After the students understood the text on a card, they would naturally have to read it.

Comment on tactics.

But what he didn't expect was that because of his encouragement, watching and talking has since become a tradition of Apache Duel Cards. Many people feel that it would be shameful if no one is around to point fingers when playing Duel Cards.

It tastes good. Of course, this is something to talk about later.

On the first day, no one could defeat Ma Shao. Even though Ma Shao was sometimes unlucky, the students' understanding of the cards was too shallow and they couldn't recognize all the words, so they couldn't win.

It was still the same on the second day, and it wasn't until the third day that a student finally defeated Ma Shao.

"There must be a... Yu-Gi-Oh." As he said that, the horse whistle took out a rough wooden crown.

The horse whistle slowly put the wooden crown on the winner's head, and at the same time handed the card to him: "Now, you are the king of the game, go and accept the challenge from others."

"Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Then came the successive battles for the throne.

Duel cards quickly became popular among the Apaches, and the spread of writing also accelerated. To this end, Mashao also commissioned people in the tribe who were good at painting to help make more cards.

At noon that day, the Chinese class hosted by Ma Shao had just ended. The students couldn't wait to get into the card duel again, and on a rainy day, they found him with a newspaper.

"What's wrong?"

"Look at this news." He was holding the Herald on a rainy day. He turned it to an inconspicuous corner and pointed to a piece of news.

Although the commercial newspapers of this period were just getting started, they were already vaguely showing signs of the UC of later generations. All kinds of eye-catching gossip news increasingly occupied the pages, while political and economic news was rather neglected.

After some strenuous reading, Mashao finally understood the content of the news.

On June 8, Captain Walker led 15 Texas Rangers and easily defeated more than 80 gun-wielding Comanches. The reason why Captain Walker was able to achieve such a success was because of the full strength of his team.

All were armed with Colt revolvers.

"Is this Colt pistol the one you bought?" Yu Tian asked.

"Probably." Ma Shao nodded.

Although he had known for a long time that people would realize the power of the Colt pistol, he did not expect it to be so fast.

After this battle, people who once dismissed Colt may have to re-examine the power of revolvers.

In addition, the Captain Walker mentioned in the news is probably the Walker of the "Walker Pistol".

It was under the advice of Captain Walker that Samuel Colt further improved the design of the revolver and launched the Walker revolver that shined in the Mexican-American War.

Rainy Day: "I wonder if this news will make it impossible for us to buy revolvers, or will Smith raise the price?"

"It's possible." Ma Shao said, "We need to prepare early..."

Facts have proved that they were worried too much.

Captain Walker's battle took place in the Republic of Texas, while Colt's factory was located in New Jersey, thousands of miles away.

And it was not until last month that the Morse coder successfully sent the first long-distance telegraph in human history - a distance of forty miles.

Therefore, except for a few major international news, the diffusion speed of most news is not significantly different from that in the feudal era.

By the time Smith delivered the ordered revolvers to the Apache camp, he hadn't even heard about it.

In this way, the Apaches got two hundred Colt pistols at a low price. Of course, the low price was only relative to the price before the collapse of the Colt company. The actual price paid by the Apache was not low. It was more than the last two.

A hundred rifles cost twice as much.

If it is sold normally, the price of a Colt pistol is about 50 US dollars, which is four times the price of many rifles. It seems to call people stupid and rich, and most people have no interest at all when they see the price.

No wonder Colt went bankrupt.

Such a high price also brings trouble to the horse whistle.

Last time, Apache had purchased two hundred rifles, which led many people to think that the musket purchase plan had come to an end, and there was no need to buy any more guns, especially such expensive guns.

In order to persuade people to buy Colt pistols, Ma Shao had to go out of his way to persuade the clans he was close to one by one.

Fortunately, people still respected him very much. After his hard lobbying, these two hundred Colt pistols were finally bought.

"Is this gun really worth so much?" Stone Crow looked at a Colt revolver repeatedly and wondered.

Ma Shao had been asked this question so many times that he felt a little guilty: "Well... a good gun needs appropriate tactics to match it. I think we should also conduct some training."
