In that moment, many people's hands trembled.
The use of the Little King Card began with Cloud Summit, and now the King Card was once again being used for the first time by Cloud Summit!
In such a life-and-death battle, not everyone has the courage to continuously throw out their trump cards, especially since it isn't even halfway through the rounds.
Amidst the surprise and sighs, people began to speculate why Cloud Summit would use the King Card at this moment. Had they found a way to achieve victory in one fell swoop?
Once this speculation appeared, many felt a sense of unease. Could Ye Zhongming's chosen ones include themselves?
And what exactly was the King Card?
The requirement to purchase the King Card is to possess and use a Little King Card. Currently, the only ones meeting this condition, besides Cloud Summit Villa, were Great America and the Mechanical Genius.
Great America had already completed this round without using it, and the Mechanical Genius had yet to take his turn; Cloud Summit was in the middle.
It was better not to have used it, but now that it was used, everyone felt that Cloud Summit really wasn’t randomly using this card that could only be used once; their timing was indeed very well chosen.
Of course, after using it, retaliation was inevitable.
"The attributes of the King Card from Cloud Summit Villa are—multiple card options!"
"Please choose the base card for Cloud Summit Villa."
"The base card selected by Cloud Summit Villa is—Fate Link Card!"
"Please choose the three parties to be targeted by the Fate Link Card."
"Cloud Summit Villa has chosen the Mechanical Genius, jannadrah, and the women's camp as the targets for the Fate Link Card."
"Cloud Summit Villa has chosen to pay the toll."
"The King Card has the highest priority; this round, all cards used by Cloud Summit Villa are effective against the targets, and the effects cannot be exempted."
"The toll has doubled due to the increased difficulty, and the commission card has increased by one-fifth again."
"Cloud Summit Villa has completed the toll payment; please the Mechanical Genius, jannadrah, and the women's camp also pay the toll."
A series of prompts left everyone confused, especially the Mechanical Genius, jannadrah, and the women's camp, who felt as if disaster had fallen from the sky.
Because of the King Card's top-level priority, those who were not selected could not use exemption cards, meaning they would have to pay high fees just like Cloud Summit Villa. That was no small amount; it was an astronomical figure.
The Mechanical Genius, stuck in the mechanical puppet, had a murky expression. He remained silent for the time being, not knowing why.
jannadrah had just paid a hefty toll once, and although he had made a slight profit just now, due to the commission card, he would still need to pay more than double what he had paid before!
On the women's camp side, there was a deathly silence.
They had little money left in their hands; while they were unaware of the exact amount required this time, it was clear it was beyond what they could afford. So what to do? Use equipment to offset it?
If it were possible, they would rather choose to fight than be uncomfortably drained like this.
The inability to resist felt worse than death at times.
"Ah!"
A scream broke the transient silence.
It was a sharp voice unique to the Mechanical Genius.
He spoke a series of words that were extremely coherent, with long sentences filled with panic. Some recognized it as Berber, a language previously spoken in Morocco, which counted as a small language, but many knew it.
However, no one understood its meaning, but it was presumed to be nothing pleasant.
After scolding sharply in this language, the Mechanical Genius was interrupted by the voice of the space.
"Cloud Summit Villa has completed the payment; please other forces pay within five minutes.”
"This is unreasonable!" some people from the women's camp shouted.
But the space ignored them and coldly continued the countdown.
As the countdown reached one minute, it seemed jannadrah, the Mechanical Genius, and the three factions from the women's camp still hadn't paid up; either they were cursing to vent their frustrations or thinking hard about countermeasures.
