Chapter 273 Ghosts in Liaozhai

Gongsun Jiuniang's successful design opened up new ideas for Xie Mingzhe.

There are also a few very famous ghosts in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - such as the best-end couple: Qiao Sheng and Liancheng.

Qiao Sheng was a very talented scholar. Although he was poor, he was righteous and often helped his friends, so he was very respected by literati. At that time, there was a juren named Shi. He had a daughter named Liancheng at home. He was proficient in embroidery and was well-educated. He wanted to find a good marriage for his daughter, so he took his daughter's embroidery works for young scholars to read pictures and write poems.

The poems written by Qiao Sheng are the most literary and are loved by Lian Cheng. Knowing that Qiao Sheng is poor, she privately gave Qiao Sheng a lot of silver to him to study hard. Qiao Sheng was particularly grateful. The two of them went back and forth, but although they had not met each other, they had already regarded each other as their close friends.

However, the father despised Qiao Sheng for being too poor and refused to marry his daughter to him. Instead, he made her engage in a marriage with the son of a wealthy businessman.

After getting engaged, Liancheng suddenly fell seriously ill. A monk told her fortune, saying that he would use a knife to cut off the flesh on his chest and crush it to cure the disease. Her fiancé cursed and drove away the monk. Liancheng's father publicly stated: Whoever can save my daughter, I will be betrothed to whom. After hearing this, the infatuated Qiao Sheng ran over without hesitation and cut off a piece of flesh on his chest with a knife to treat her. The disease was indeed cured.

However, due to the power of the wealthy businessman, Liancheng's father did not dare to break off the engagement. He only gave Qiao Sheng a thousand taels of silver as a thank you, and refused to betroth his daughter to him. Qiao Sheng did not take a penny, leaving a sentence "I saved her not for money, just because she is my close friend." He left with a look.

After hearing about this incident, Liancheng was seriously ill again, and this time he died of illness. Qiao Sheng later paid condolences to her, but he died of sorrow. The two of them failed to unite in the world, but met in the underworld, expressed their feelings, and made decisions for themselves, and got married in the ghost world.

Compared with the tragic stories of other female ghosts in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", Qiao Sheng and Lian Cheng are the happier couples in the ending. The key is that the two are infatuated with each other and regard each other as confidants. The male protagonist of this story, Qiao Sheng, is the most decisive person in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". The flesh on his chest is cut at will. The person he likes dies and he doesn't want to live alone in the world. He is also very straightforward when getting married in the underworld.

In terms of appearance, according to the description in the book, these two should be handsome men and beautiful women, very compatible. Xie Mingzhe designed Qiao Sheng as a traditional scholar dress, with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, hair tied up, and book holding, with elegant temperament; Liancheng is a small jasper, delicate and gentle girl, holding a white handkerchief and colorful embroidery thread in her hand, and there are exquisite patterns embroidered by her handkerchief.

Xie Mingzhe designed all the two characters Qiao Sheng and Lian Cheng as ghost cards, and used dual-card linkage skills.

Qiao Sheng (local system)

Level: Level 1

Evolutionary Star Rating:★

Number of usages: 1/1 time

Basic attributes: health value 1000, attack power 1200, defense power 1000, agility 20, critical hit 20%

Additional skills: Cutting flesh (the girl I love is sick and must use the flesh on the human chest as medicine to cure it. Qiao Sheng did not hesitate and decided to cut the flesh on his chest to save her - Qiao Sheng lost 50% of his own health every time he cuts flesh, and permanently increased the attack speed of the designated target by 50%; one game is limited to one use)

Additional skills: Fighting for love (I heard that my beloved died, Qiao Sheng was heartbroken and also committed suicide. After turning on his skills, Qiao Sheng could immediately commit suicide and transform into a ghost card. As a ghost, Qiao Sheng searched for his lover's figure in the ghost world. During the search process, he caused 50% of the earth-type group damage to hostile targets on the straight path. When he found his lover Liancheng, the search was terminated and caused an additional 200% critical damage to the target that Liancheng was attacking; cooldown time was 35 seconds)

Additional skills: Know each other (linkage skill. Qiao Sheng and Lian Cheng fell in love with each other, but they were unable to get married in the world due to their father's obstruction. They finally got together after becoming ghosts. If Qiao Sheng, Lian Cheng became a ghost card and was present at the same time, Qiao Sheng's speed when he moved towards Lian Cheng was automatically increased by 500%)

Liancheng (land system)

Level: Level 1

Evolutionary Star Rating:★

Number of usages: 1/1 time

Basic attributes: health value 500, attack power 1500, defense power 500, agility 30, critical hit 30%

Additional skills: Embroiderer (Liangcheng has been learning embroidery since he was a child, and the embroidered patterns are extremely exquisite. She can use a large number of colorful embroidery threads to attack opponents at a range of 23 meters, causing 200% group soil damage to hostile targets within a range of 23 meters; cooldown time is 30 seconds)

Additional skills: Resentful Ghost (Lian Cheng died of illness because his father stopped her from marrying her beloved. She can discard the embroidery thread at any time and become a resentful ghost. She became resentful, increased her attack speed by 50%, teleported behind locking the enemy target, and attacked with sharp claws. Each normal attack caused 10% basic soil damage. When the number of combos reaches a multiple of 5/10/15, an additional critical damage was caused; the normal attack skill has no cooldown time, and the combo was valid within 1 second, and it was interrupted and cleared and recalculated)

Additional skills: Know each other and agree to each other (linkage skill. When Qiao Sheng becomes a ghost card and finds himself, Lian Cheng immediately enters a violent state because of his touch, increasing the basic attack by 50%, and critical damage by 50% for 5 seconds)

Xie Mingzhe used a new idea for the design of these two cards - two modes of human and ghost, two functions.

Ghosts are not born out of thin air. Every ghost is human before his death, which makes sense in design.

The deformation of the demon clan card is data, and its shape changes completely, like two cards. Whether it is a human or a ghost, Qiao Sheng and Liancheng have no changes in appearance, and the data has no major changes, so there is no need to force it to be classified into the demon clan card. It can be understood that the skills of different time periods are different.

Liancheng in the human stage is a powerful group attack card, which relies on the group attack skill of embroidered thread to produce one-time group damage. In the ghost form, she is a super normal attack card. Qiao Sheng gave her 50% attack speed bonus, and the 50% attack speed bonus of herself becoming a ghost, just piled her attack speed to the highest value of 100%.

The damage caused by each normal attack is only 10%, which looks very low, but once the attack speed is stacked, the time interval of each attack is very short, and you can make 2 to 3 combos in 1 second, and multiple combos have additional critical hit bonuses. As long as she is alive, she will have output. The amount of damage accumulated over a long period of time is no less than the card ultimate move that relies on skills to make a living!

The linkage of these two cards is also very interesting. Qiao Sheng will get a 500% movement speed bonus when moving towards Liancheng, which is almost comparable to the Feiqin card of Shangshan Lan. The fast speed allows Qiao Sheng to support Liancheng in time, not only can cause group damage to enemies on the path, but also can perform a critical strike on the target that Liancheng is attacking.

If Lian Cheng moves during this period, Qiao Sheng can also move with her, triggering the linear damage of the 2 skill multiple times.

The two cards echo each other, and if there is a group attack, you need a group attack, and if you want a single attack, you can still harvest together, you will almost be the rhythm of staring at someone who will die!

The addition of these two flexible linkage cards can greatly enhance the combat power of Yuke ghost card deck.

With Xiao Ke's reaction speed, he also controlled four ghost cards from Nie Xiaoqian, Gongsun Jiuniang, Qiao Sheng, and Liancheng to collect fire and instantly - there were almost no cards that he could not lose in seconds.

These output cards are very versatile and suitable for any lineup. You can also be used as an assassin with strong explosive power in the later stage of the team competition. Choose the right time to harvest the remaining health, threaten the opponent's core cards at all times, so that the opponent dare not be careless.

Xiao Ke will definitely be very happy to see these new cards, right?

Xie Mingzhe smiled and put away a few ghost cards, followed by making a functional card he had long wanted to make.

This card is called "painted skin". It is also a very famous female ghost in the Chinese Studio. Its fame and influence are no less than Nie Xiaoqian. Later, it was adapted into movies and TV series many times, and it is well-known.

The allusion of the painted skin also comes from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". It tells the story of a woman with a miserable fate and a grief and anger. She transforms into a ghost, but wears the most beautiful human skin, pretends to be a stunning beauty, and specifically seduces lustful people.

When the lustful man was fascinated by her, she poached the other person's heart and peeled off the human skin on her body, showing the true face of a ghost... It was really bloody and terrifying.

Xie Mingzhe thought of this card with an interesting idea, which was inspired by the human skin disguise of the painted ghost.

She can put on the skin of a beauty and dress herself up as a beautiful beauty. Of course, she can also put on other skins and transform herself into various people. For her, human skin is just a mask for her. No one knows what her true image is.

So when designing the image, Xie Mingzhe directly drew a female ghost with a charming figure and no face. In other words, she actually had a face, but there were no clear facial features such as eyebrows, eyes, etc., and there was only a bloody and bloody look, which looked particularly scary.

The clothes were painted in a light white long skirt, like a ghost that could be blown away by the wind.

Drawing ghost (earth system)

Level: Level 1

Evolutionary Star Rating:★

Number of usages: 1/1 time

Basic attributes: health value 800, attack power 800, defense power 800, agility 30, critical hit 30%

Additional skills: Beauty Temptation (The ghost of the painting hates lustful people. She can use the disguised beauty to seduce the designated target. When launching the skill, force the designated hostile target within 23 meters to accept the temptation, walk to her, and cause a 300% single-body critical damage to the target; cooldown time of 60 seconds)

Additional skills: Human skin disguise (The skin-drawing ghost can peel off someone else's skin, cover it on his face, and disguise it as the other party's appearance - when using skills, the skin-drawing ghost can disguise itself as the image of a designated card that exists on the spot, and immediately inherit one of the skills of the card, that is, except for the dead card; limited skills, one game can be activated at most once)

Additional skills: Skinning (The skin-painted ghost can take the initiative to peel off the skin from his body and restore his original appearance. Because her true face is too terrible, when peeling off the human skin mask, it will cause group fear to hostile targets within 23 meters, for 5 seconds; skinning must be activated after disguise, and one game is limited to once)

According to the original plot, after painting the skin hooks up those lustful men, they will dig out the other person's heart.

However, if this heart-digging setting is added to the card skill description, it will be a bit too bloody. Nie Shen's tiger and Lao Zheng's elephant cannot let the painted skin dig out the heart, right? That's the heartless one... For example, what should I do if my senior brother's plant card? Do I dig out the roots of the tree?

Many children are playing this game, and the official will definitely not pass the "heart-digging" skill review.

Therefore, Xie Mingzhe directly removed the bloody description and only retained 300% of the critical damage after hooking people up. The story of digging the heart can be placed in the card encyclopedia as a supplementary introduction.

The first skill of the card of Painting is single-body control. Beauty Temptation can force the designated card to walk in front of you, and use it to lock the opponent's core card to pull it over and get it out in seconds. However, this forced displacement skill is not uncommon and is not particularly outstanding.

The strongest skin is actually the second skill: human skin disguise.

——Disguise as any card and inherit its skills immediately.

For example, when fighting the ghost prison, when the ghoul comes out, the painted skin can be disguised as a ghoul; when fighting the temple of the gods, Lucifer comes out, and the painted skin can also be temporarily disguised as Lucifer. If the opponent's card is not very useful, the painted skin can also choose one's own people to disguise, such as pretending to be Cao Pi and Sun Shangxiang to help teammates fight explosive damage.

During the disguise, she could only choose one skill to inherit, and her own attack power was not very powerful, so she was not very outrageous in terms of data.

In essence, she is similar to the "puppet master" in the ghost prison. The choice of disguised object has a great impact on her strength. She is a functional card that "will be strong when encountering strong".

This card is extremely malleable and extremely flexible. When to disguise and when to scare people, it will test the player's overall view and grasp of the rhythm of the game.

The basic data of the Drawing Ghost is very poor, and it looks like a very inconspicuous ghost in the ghost deck.

But her skills determine that she has infinite possibilities.

In a real competition, as long as the skin can choose the object of disguise at critical moments and choose the time to peel, Xie Mingzhe believes that this functional ghost card can definitely create miracles!

The author has something to say:

I have designed too many cards before, and it will be more and more difficult to design more outstanding cards. I will consider making a batch of new cards to play in the playoffs.
