Showdown, my deck is from the East

After fighting in his own barren territory for thousands of years and fighting a powerful enemy, he only managed to build one [Yunmeng Ze].

The resource card reserves are even gone.

This is the first time I came to this treasure land. I just picked up a few rebels and used a little trick to get the asteroid.

The bounty given by the alliance is greater than the war reserves of the entire South China Sea.

Hide them in the deserted star area first, and when the Xuanwu Gate is clear, take them all back and store them!

Lu Cheng was still looking pretty when he suddenly received a reminder.

(Because the intelligence value of the intelligent race in your deck is higher than the current strategy card targeting you, it has been exposed.)

[Luck Capacity Blockade] (You will not have the option related to "Ethereal Tribe" in any card drawing behavior, and you cannot use this option to draw additional cards.)

Lu Cheng frowned.

Although the Void Spirits are good at imitating, they do occupy the majority of the alliance's transportation capacity because of their ability to open a channel between high dimensions and low latitudes, as well as their understanding of the rules of trade.

Any alliance card master who draws a card will have the Ethereal option.

Lu Cheng was not a member of the alliance before, but he has appeared before. It should be similar to the black merchant. He pays a certain fee every round and draws additional cards.

But this is actually not easy to use!

If you could pay to draw additional cards each round, that would be okay.

But because they are in a monopoly position, they are domineering. Take the option of the virtual black merchant that appeared in Lu Cheng.

If you use them, you will not be allowed to use your own check cards to draw cards. Once discovered, they will become invalid and the fees paid will not be refunded.

Of course, in the alliance, the Void Spirit Clan cannot be so harsh. They generally allow 70% to 30%, that is, 70% must be drawn through their channels, and 30% must be drawn through your own.

If the self-developed cards in your deck are higher than this ratio, the Ethereals will think that you are competing, and will launch a trade duel against you, using various means to knock down your share, and never be able to stand up again.

The self-developed transportation capabilities of many races have been aborted.

Now that the Void Spirit Tribe has suddenly imposed a trade blockade on themselves, Lu Cheng analyzed that it may be that the Void Spirit Tribe believes that their transportation capacity has affected their status.

The business sense is quite keen.

but

So what?

The Void Spirit Tribe was originally on the small book, and the top one had to pay the annual coins.

We do not intend to take the lead in a large-scale hot war, but fierce competition is inevitable, sooner or later.

Since you play your cards first, it’s you first.

In the first scene of the dragon boat journey, I encountered a monster.

The second game is a trade showdown.

The goal is to break the Ethereal Clan's transport monopoly through hand cards and gain share within the alliance.

Even if the Void Spirit Clan didn't come across him, Lu Cheng would still have to do this.

Because, in fact, Lu Cheng's deck is not running smoothly at the moment.

During the war, nearly half of Yujing's population was located in Qingqiu and Penglai.

The other population is placed in [Yunmengze] to allow the card to produce resources.

In non-war rounds, there must be a large amount of idle population.

After [Yunmengze] was fully loaded, Lu Cheng was unable to provide enough jobs.

So the newly added [Southern State] after the war accommodated part of it, and also launched the cultural star [Taibai], cultivating a lot of "literati and poets".

The deck economy is booming.

But later, as a large number of human races returned to the Tang Dynasty, the population increased again.

And once [Food and Clothing], the human race upgraded, Lu Cheng didn't have so many high-star work cards to use.

A total of 40 million points of high-star population are idle.

They consume a lot of resources every turn and have no place to work.

In known edge worlds, the discovery rate of resource stars is extremely low.

Each round they even have to import a large amount of water from the whale tribe to survive.

How long can Lu Cheng withstand the situation?

In fact, it is not true to say that there is no such thing at all.

The "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was built by literati and craftsmen.

It is estimated that the construction of "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" will be completed in the middle of the Song Dynasty.

The labor force it provides can fully load either [Penglai] or [Qingqiu] and upgrade it to a mythical military port.

By then, assembling the Yunxiao Immortal Boat in one round will no longer be a dream.

But the problem comes again...

One is the throughput of one red star per round, which does not have so many industrial raw materials.

Second, during non-war periods, the Golden 10-Star Industrial Card is still idle. Where can the production capacity of the Shinhwa Military Port be released?

The orders from the Sand Region and the Whale Clan are really nothing for the Mythical Military Port.

Explode troops yourself?

During non-war periods, there is a limit to the standing army. Any more will lead to a negative deck state of militarism.

It's a big trouble if it explodes and you can't afford it.

If production capacity is idle and products cannot be exported, the consumption will be huge every round.

Therefore, Lu Cheng, who plays poker, must open a breakthrough in the central world as soon as possible. This is Lu Cheng's basic policy for the next stage.

It actually has nothing to do with the strategy of the Void Spirit Tribe.

Classic you hit yours, I'll hit mine...

However, Lu Cheng thought again and again.

I'm afraid we can't compete in the center world in an overly ostentatious way.

The reason is very simple.

It is impossible for Lu Cheng to know that he was wrongly evaluated by the Void Spirit Tribe as: not worth mentioning in military terms.

And this evaluation was submitted to the league.

After all, he had already flexed his muscles.

Showing enough military strength is to tell Xiaoxiao not to mess with me.

Economically, it's different. To make others stop thinking about you, you need to hide it.

A gentleman hides his treasures in his body and does not reveal his wealth in vain.

I'll tell you how good I am, but I won't tell you how profitable I am.

…

The triangle area is quite convenient as a temporary storage warehouse and a shelter for dragon boats.

Lu Cheng has a hundred-year wormhole rental agreement with the natural insect swarm.

The Zerg have a wormhole right on the edge of the triangle area, reaching directly near the Xuanwu Gate, and the freight channel is smooth.

Lu Cheng decided to stab the Void Spirit Clan in the dark first, knocking down the Void Spirit Clan's share in the Rock Kingdom and stabilizing the surrounding area of ​​the Triangle.

Iwakuni.

A typical inorganic country.

Led by a side of Imperial Granite, it occupies the Alliance's far southern border.

Usually, the Rock Tribe, which has no intelligence value at all, acts as a tabletop presence in the game rather than as a player...

After all, there is a classic saying that at a poker table, some forces are the players, some are the audience, some are just cards... and some, even just a granite table.

Their racial characteristics are such that any strategy card can take effect unconditionally.

As for why it wasn’t completely vassalized?

Completely due to the technological limitations of the current generation, the racial mainstream travel technology in the central world is far from being able to fully project its power to the extreme southern border.

Only the Void Spirit Clan with developed transportation capacity can deploy here, and the annexation of Rock Country is also a certainty.

When Lu Cheng first arrived in Iwakuni, he was deeply shocked by the active rock mine.

Humans are not good at mining.

Either with the help of tools or mountain and sea beasts.

The efficiency of the active rock mine is three times higher than that of the Song Dynasty government mine.

It's about five times the size of the sandy area!

Their basic units have extremely high mining skills.

If Iwakuni is allowed to be a mining partner and the origin of raw materials is found, even the future mythical military port may be moved!
