Stay away from Conan

"Name: Ace of Pentacles"

"Special effect: Feel your insignificance under the mountain, meet your life confidant on the mountain, and start a new chapter in your life. With the "Ace of Pentacles", you will have an increased chance of successfully gaining wealth and confidence. , and inner confidence and motivation are related to talents. When you have enough confidence, your talents in "professional knowledge" will be further expanded."

"Note: If you already hold other "Ace Cards", you need to pass the trial to obtain the blessing of the "Ace Card" effect at the same time. Otherwise, you can only activate the effect of one "Ace Card" at the same time."

——Just now, when Miyano Shiho went to the third underground floor and started to take care of Miyano Akemi, after Takato cleared the desktop, his thoughts just now reminded Takato of the rewards for the "S" grade evaluation on the previous settlement panel. I haven't received it yet, so now, Gao Yuan is thinking about which reward to choose.

In the end, after thinking for a while, he thought about "special props" and "professional knowledge" because he had already chosen them several times before, which would temporarily make Gao Yuan uninterested, and as the "star coins" of the Minor Arcana card This option may be able to open up new special effects directions like the previous "Sword", so in the end, Gao Yuan made a choice and chose the "Star Coins" with "Reward Two".

Then, the contents of the reward "Star Coins" appeared in front of Gao Yuan——

Sure enough, just like the "Sword" before, what he obtained for the first time was indeed the "Ace of Star Coins" of "Star Coins".

And, this special effect...

"The likelihood of success in acquiring wealth and confidence will increase..."

Looking at the description silently, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel that this choice was indeed a good one.

Not only does it increase the possibility of acquiring wealth, but the "confidence" that goes hand in hand with it is also mentioned later as being able to further expand "expertise".

In this regard, since a new "professional knowledge" option also appeared in the options this time, Gao Yuan quickly thought of the "professional knowledge" mentioned in the description of this special effect. "The corresponding option reward——

"magician"!

That ability allowed him to master some magic techniques and the special use of the "star" prop, and also learned part of Phantom Thief Kid's "disguise" skills through this.

In this way, considering that the "professional knowledge" mentioned in the description of "Ace of Pentacles" has a high probability of corresponding to the "professional knowledge" in the reward, then perhaps, after having the effect of "Ace of Pentacles" With the blessing, it may be helpful to expand the "magician" ability you have already acquired.

In this case, it is possible that the "cross-dressing technique" that I have been unable to learn for a long time can be further mastered...

The only problem is...

"The trump card can only activate the effect of one at the same time..."

Looking at the extra precautions, Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh and said -

It is true that the effect of "Ace of Pentacles" is very satisfying to me, but if I give up the effect of "Ace of Swords" because of this, it seems that the gain outweighs the gain.

You must know that your swordsmanship talent, combat intuition, martial arts growth and physical improvement seem to be supported by the effect of "Ace of Swords", and it seems that the feedback of the effect of "Queen of Swords" also depends on "Ace of Swords" " exists, it seems a bit unworthy to temporarily give up "Ace of Swords" for the effect of "Ace of Pentacles".

After all, the day when he and Akai Shuichi will meet is probably not far away, and even with the blessing of "Ace of Swords", he may not be able to defeat Akai Shuichi in terms of force, let alone temporarily give up the blessing of "Ace of Swords". …

So now, looking at the word "trial" mentioned in the precautions, Gao Yuan knew that he couldn't refuse——

If you want to activate the effects of two "trump cards" at the same time, you must pass the trial...

That's fine, it's not that I haven't experienced trials anyway, as long as it's not a completely unpredictable trial like the "world".

I just don’t know if it will be a “reappearance of a scene from more than twenty years ago” like “Demons” or a “stranger ten years later” plot like “The Queen of Swords”.

After thinking about this for a while, I felt that it was useless to think about it before actually facing the trial situation, so I stopped thinking about it and prepared to start the trial——

Immediately, when Gao Yuan decided to enter the trial, as his consciousness gradually entered a dream, Gao Yuan, who was originally sitting in his seat, fell directly on the bed, lying down without any sleeping position at all.

Later, this scene was seen by Miyano Shiho who came up from downstairs after taking care of Miyano Akemi...

…

As his vision dimmed due to the sudden surge of sleepiness, after an unknown amount of time, when Gao Yuan could feel his presence and could see things in his sight again, he was a little surprised. Gao Yuan saw this moment , what appeared in front of him were two cards floating in mid-air——

Among them, the picture on the card on the left is very familiar. It depicts a dreamy orange-haired girl wearing a pink and white Gothic outfit. On the girl's hands, there are Each holds a sword. Under the card, there is text - "Ace of Swords", which means "Ace of Swords".

On the side, on the card on the right, there is a picture of a girl with long golden hair. She looks very sacred. She is wearing a white gauze dress, with her eyes closed and holding a huge gold coin in her hand. , and on the gold coin, there is a six-pointed star composed of two equilateral triangles engraved on it. Under this card, the text is "Ace of Coins", which is "Ace of Star Coins".

In this way, looking at the actual pictures displayed by the two "ace cards" in front of him, Gao Yuan didn't wait for a moment to think about it, and saw that the two girls on the cards seemed to be alive, and each of them emerged from the card. It turned into little bits of light, and then regrouped, forming a realistic human form in front of Gao Yuan, which was the appearance of the two people in the original card screen——

Looking at this scene, Gao Yuan was not surprised. After all, this was similar to the situation when the "Queen of Swords" appeared.

As the figures of the two girls emerged, they both opened their eyes, looked at the distant figure in the dream, and then said in unison:

"Using different 'aces' at the same time requires the approval of all the trump cards obtained, so now, you will undergo our common trial - are you ready now? Are you sure to enter the trial?"

"I'm sure."

In this regard, listening to what these two people in front of him, who should be the incarnations of the two "aces", said, Gao Yuan did not hesitate. After all, he entered such a dream just because he planned to challenge the trial.

So, Gao Yuan nodded and affirmed.

Immediately, the two girls stepped away from each other without saying anything else——

Then, an illusory door emerged from the distance between the two...
