Chapter 14 – A Pitfall for All: The Comprehensive Trap of the Card Pool

"Should be... hidden in the Equipment Card category, right?"

Su Yan pondered, murmuring to himself, "If we consider the core of 'Resting in Action,' then things like highway vehicles, floating devices, etc., all fall under this category."

"If we want to be more specific, maybe an RV? A multi-person motorcycle? A four-wheel car?"

"Hmm... these are obviously part of the equipment category."

Su Yan wasn't in a hurry to draw; he shared his thoughts with Jing.

As expected, Jing offered a different perspective: "Master, I believe all six card categories have 'Rest Cards.'"

"Your thinking is correct, Master. The purpose of the Rest Card is to solve the user's dilemma of recovering while on the move, but it doesn't necessarily require large vehicle equipment to solve this problem."

"Based on the effects of cards that a few users have voluntarily exposed in the Chat Channel, the six major cards in Endless Road don't just cover technology types; they also include magic, mystic, and non-tech side cards."

"If that's the case, then Talent Cards, Skill Cards, and other cards should also include abilities that allow users to rest."

"For example, low-altitude floating magic after casting, or special abilities that control the body to move on its own... these all have similar effects."

Jing paused, then smiled and said, "Of course, I also prefer to draw Equipment Cards; it's safer."

Look at her, she's really smart!

First, she directly states her own answer, then acknowledges the leader's thinking, provides a detailed explanation, and finally affirms the leader's actions... such emotional intelligence! Such skill! It made Su Yan feel very comfortable!

"Alright, let's draw Equipment Cards!"

Su Yan smiled with satisfaction and finally decided on the type of card to draw.

As the Sacrificial Altar spun and adjusted the Card Pool, Su Yan spoke in a deep voice, "Invest 5,000 Blood Coins, draw all Equipment Cards!"

100 per draw, directly 50 consecutive draws!

Going all in, I refuse to believe I won't get a single Equipment Card with a resting effect!

Su Yan needed a Rest Card now; everything else could wait!

As the altar swallowed a large number of Blood Coins, a strong blood-red light surged and spread in front of Su Yan.

Moments later, cards flew out of the blood glow, swirling around Su Yan, rising and falling.

"I bet at least one good card will come out!"

Su Yan joked with his servants as he reached out to collect all the cards around him.

To be honest, 50 cards seemed like a lot, but they could be held in one hand, each card about palm-sized, with a thickness of 0.5 millimeters (the thickness and size of a physical game card).

But trying to precisely select and use a specific card from 50 cards was a troublesome issue.

Su Yan could only walk while flipping through the cards, evaluating and checking them one by one.

"N Card... R Card... N Card... R Card... Oh, an R Card pistol! Not bad, got a firearm!"

Su Yan beamed with joy, touching each card with satisfaction.

Each card was smooth to the touch, with a great feel, and the patterns were incredibly cool.

Non-seasoned players couldn't understand this fulfilling feeling of collecting.

Even though they were low-level cards, holding them felt heavy, giving a sense of security!

"If it weren't for survival, just the appearance of these cards would be worth a lot, having great collectible value..."

"...but the problem is, I've praised you so much, and still no SR card?!"

"Damn! All N Cards and R Cards!"

Su Yan was frustrated. What kind of lousy draw rate is this?

Even Tencent wouldn't be this stingy! Even NetEase wouldn't dare to be this ruthless! There wasn't even this kind of Card Pool before!

50 consecutive draws!

Not to mention SSR, not even a single SR?

I get it, no wonder they say Endless Road can kill people; this draw rate makes Su Yan want to die.

After a whole day of hard work, constant fighting and killing, aside from the fixed cards from the Free First Draw, he only got Natasha's SR Servant Card.

"If there's no good card, at least give me a Rest Card?"

Su Yan checked repeatedly, finally disappointed: "All combat cards! Where's my Rest Card? Where's the Rest Card!!"

When you're just trying to make great content at pawread.com .

Pistols, daggers, crossbows, boomerangs, chainmail, magic wands, casting crystal balls... from weapons to armor, from cold weapons to hot weapons, from tech weapons to magic weapons.

Everything was there!

Except for a Rest Card!

Not a single vehicle!

What, are all your vehicles UR-rank? Just won't come out, huh!

"Master, this was expected."

Jing noticed Su Yan's grim expression and softly comforted him, "If Rest Cards were easy to get, other users in the Chat Channel would have already solved the problem of resting at night."

"The fact that they're still struggling with this issue shows that Rest Cards themselves are extremely hard to obtain, and a Rest Card of the same level might be more valuable than higher-level cards."

Jing made a lot of sense.

If Su Yan were the planner, he would never let users easily draw key cards.

Too tired? Too troublesome?

Ah, that's right!

A Card Pool without guarantees is a deep pit; who knows what the next draw will give you.

In other games, users might quit in anger if they can't get what they want, but how do you quit Endless Road?

Seems like... the only way is death.

"At least, if I don't have it, others probably don't either."

Su Yan comforted himself; the Card Pool in Endless Road was a pit, but it was a pit for everyone equally.

"On the other hand, these 50 draws actually provide significant assistance."

Jing smiled slightly, speaking softly, "The combat power boost from 50 Equipment Cards can effectively compensate for our current lack of trap materials, allowing the servants to have stronger combat power."

"With enough combat power, we can further improve the efficiency of acquiring Blood Coins and have a better chance in the Endpoint exploration."

"Anyway, it's a good thing... what we need to do is find a Rest Card in 1-2 days; we still have time."

Jing's comfort didn't have much effect; everyone in the team knew that the later they got a Rest Card, the greater the risk.

No one can stay awake all night indefinitely, working 24 hours a day.

Especially in a long-term tense and dangerous combat environment, a normal person might grit their teeth and stay up for a few nights, but in Endless Road, they can only last one night at most.

"The time left for us is running out; let's keep going."

Su Yan took a deep breath, handing the stack of cards to Jing: "Select suitable cards for everyone, keep the rest safe, I don't need them for now."

Su Yan kept only one or two Equipment Cards suitable for a Martial Arts Master, and distributed the rest to the servants.

They were all low-level cards, but when combined, they formed another way to upgrade and become stronger.

With Jing's selection and distribution, each servant received Equipment Cards suited to their state and experience, including Natasha, who got a new bow and short sword, along with full-body light armor.

Even Jing herself got a handgun for self-defense; although the bullets were limited, at least the power was decent.

It's worth mentioning that servants could use the master's cards, a small mechanism that comforted Su Yan: at least he didn't have to waste time using each card one by one and then distributing the equipment, which would take too much time.

"While it's not completely dark, let's keep going!"

Su Yan took a deep breath, gritting his teeth as he led the team forward: "Let's split up and farm Blood Coins!"

"I refuse to believe I can't get a Rest Card today!"

The team's strength had been greatly enhanced, at least capable of handling 3-4 waves of Zombie Tide, which was Su Yan's biggest confidence.

With more people, the power was greater, and the speed of farming Blood Coins naturally increased.

Su Yan quickly arranged the team's standards, letting Natasha lead seven servants, while he took Jing and Da Hu, splitting into two teams.

Yes, Su Yan was also going to join the battle personally.

The Martial Arts Master, who had been holding back for a few hours, was going to descend and purge demons once more.

There's no choice... the master had spent everything on gacha.

"Hmph!"

In the center of the dim street, accompanied by the spreading red mist, Su Yan, with his black hair flying, strode out, holding dual blades with a stern face.

"I uphold justice, eliminating demons at night, kill!"

Su Yan murmured, his whole body surging with Inner Qi, radiating a gentle glow as he darted into the zombie horde like a hurricane.

Every slash was chilling, every move lethal, and in no time, black blood flew, and the headless zombie horde fell like wheat being cut.

"Master is even stronger than during the day!"

Da Hu, assisting from the side, held a giant shield, watching with surprise and envy.

"Anger strengthens the heart."

Jing softly explained from the side, "When people are angry, their combat power naturally increases..."

Anyone who can't draw anything would want to flip the table on the spot.
