“Why is there a diary on the library shelf?”
Driven by curiosity, Shi Li began to flip through the pages.
But after flipping through a few pages, I immediately found it a bit boring.
Is this what they call a library surprise?
It's really boring.
The owner of the diary should be called Ajun. All the records in the diary are daily trivialities, which are unremarkable.
Then there were some repetitive words like "I got second place today", "I got second place again this week", and "I got second place again this month".
"Huh?"
But when he turned to a certain page, his eyes were attracted.
Then he unconsciously recited it in a low voice.
[Today I got a copy key, called the Way of Balance]
[It sounds quite extraordinary]
[Later I asked someone about it and found out that all seven categories have corresponding copies of the Dao.]
Shi Li never expected to see information about the "Way of Balance" in a diary from an unknown era.
[Each system of Tao has seven levels, one to seven in total, seven levels in total]
But it seems that this is not quite the same as what I know.
There is no Level Zero in the diary.
Moreover, he had heard from Secretary He and others that the [Way of Balance] seemed to have a total of only zero to six.
Although there are also seven levels, the names are slightly different.
[It is said that when you clear level 7 and level 10, you will get the corresponding card]
[Clear the Way of Balance to get the Balance Card]
[Clear the Way of Rage to get the Rage Card]
[Clear the level... and get...] x5
[If a player collects these seven cards, he can...]
"If a player collects these seven cards, a small wish can come true."
At this moment, the voice of Director Xiu reciting suddenly sounded behind him.
"What are you doing? You scared me."
Shi Li looked back and found that the other person was standing very close to him.
"The teacher didn't come to class today, so I came to see you because I was bored."
Director Xiu spread his hands and said, "I heard that he was demonstrating how to install an air conditioner outdoor unit yesterday, and he fell from the upstairs and broke three of his legs."
"..., what race is your teacher?"
“Human beings.”
"That's really tragic. So, why not just let robots install the air conditioner?"
"You don't understand, this is called sentiment."
"Have you read this diary?"
As he spoke, Shi Li raised the diary in his hand.
Judging from the position, Director Xiu should not be able to see the content above.
"No, I just happened to know the content."
Director Xiu curled his lips, saying that it was not convenient to tell outsiders about the ancestral teachings.
"Okay, look, I'll just wander around here."
After saying that, she waved her hand, walked to the bookshelf next to her and began to flip through the books casually.
"Looks mysterious."
Shi Li shrugged his shoulders and continued reading "Ajun's Diary" for a while.
There was nothing else worth paying attention to, so I put it aside.
Then pick up "Basic Theory of Making A-Grade Cards".
Open the directory and search for what you want to know.
Unexpectedly, I actually found something.
"I see. No wonder I can't get an A-level card..."
After 30 minutes, he closed the book.
In fact, some specific theories do not need to be looked at in detail.
Because he has [absolute card sense], he can skip quite a lot of content.
No matter how much theory you read, your accuracy when shuffling cards will never be as high as the preview.
Therefore, he only needs to grasp one key point, which is how to make an A-level card, and that's it.
But with just one book, we can't be 100% sure.
So next, Shi Li asked the robot to take him to find some other books on the subject.
In the end he extracted a common theory from slightly different descriptions in several books.
I found out the reason why I couldn’t make A-level cards.
That is, if you want to make an A-level card, there is one thing you must have.
According to the book, this thing is called "Gold Edge".
An invisible definition that exists only in theory.
Only cards with gold edges can be used in the shuffle to have a chance of obtaining an A-level card.
There are several ways to get gold edges on cards.
The first type is that this card itself is an A-level card.
A-level cards have gold edges.
If you use it to shuffle cards and it is backward compatible, and you get 1 B-level card, then the brand will also have a gold border.
The second type is player talent.
Some player talents can give cards gold edges if certain conditions are met.
That is to say, for the same two cards, a player without relevant talent can only make a B-level card, while a player with relevant talent may make an A-level card.
The third type is player level.
When the player's level is high enough, there is a certain chance that gold edges will be added to the cards when shuffling them.
Even if the level is very high and the copy level of the card pool is very high, then from the moment you obtain the card and the card enters your own deck, the card may have a gold border.
There are only three methods of shuffling A-level cards summarized in books.
It is not ruled out that there are other methods, but they are not recorded in the book here.
"Obviously, the only way I can do it now is the first method..."
Standing in front of the bookshelf, Shi Li held his chin.
The solution he thought of was to get some A-level material and add it to his own cards.
The cheapest one will do, as long as you can successfully rub the cards without exploding or damaging them.
Reaching the [Second Level 9] of [The Way of Balance] gave me a lot of experience points and cubic coins.
In terms of level, it has reached LV10.
The amount of cubic coins in the wallet has reached nearly 30,000.
Maybe I really have enough money to buy an A-grade material, the cheapest kind.
"But the problem now is that there seems to be no Grade A materials for sale in our city."
This is what makes him most embarrassed.
"What A-grade material? You need A-grade material?"
Just at this moment, Director Xiu was not far away.
"Well, I want to do an experiment."
Shi Li reiterated his thoughts.
"I see."
After listening, Director Xiu nodded and said, "With about 30,000 cubic coins, you can indeed buy some relatively rubbish A-level materials."
"In fact, we can check online to see if there are any specialty stores in nearby cities that sell Grade A materials."
As she spoke, she pulled Shi Li in front of the computer and skillfully entered a URL.
A series of filtering conditions are output on the homepage, and then a lot of options pop up.
“There is actually such a website.”
Shi Li couldn't help but marvel at it.
"Of course. Most of the larger specialty stores will register online storefronts on this website. I often buy material cards in this way."
Director Xiu nodded.
But for Shi Li, it still made sense to go to the store because he had to preview the products on site.
"Look, there are quite a few A-level materials below 30,000 that meet your requirements."
"The cheapest [Golden Flying] is only 15,000 yuan."
"My, this price is equivalent to B-grade materials."
Director Xiu pointed to one of the items.
"..., flying, is it a verb or a noun?"
Shi Li took a look at the details.
My goodness, that city is far away from here.
It takes more than two days just to get there because you have to take a plane and transfer.
"The logistics will definitely not be fast enough, I have to choose a city that can be reached within three days."
He said so.
"Is that so? Then I will set further precise conditions."
Director Xiu said this and set the distance again.
Finally, the two of them locked on their target.
"Lanlan City, I'm familiar with it."
She slapped the table.
Lanlan City is a top first-tier city and also an ancient historical capital.
"If we take a plane, it won't take long."
"And there are a lot of shops there, maybe there will be some extra gains."
After looking at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, Director Xiu directly pulled Shi Li up.
"Let's go, if we start now we can arrive tonight!"
"Um, Director, are you going too?"
"certainly!"
…
Three days later, in front of the show card hall.
A man with pig ears was walking towards the card hall with his sixteen-year-old daughter.
The girl has a pretty face and is in her youth, which makes her pig ears look very cute.
"Dad, have you chosen a card room for me?"
Walking behind, my daughter seemed a little impatient.
"Of course. I've already asked around for you. Although this card show hall is a little far from our home, it has a long history. It's the oldest card show hall in our city, and it has a profound heritage, hehe."
As my father spoke, he snorted twice like a pig.
My daughter is old enough to play cards, and she has been clamoring to find a card hall to practice.
He visited many stores before finally choosing the Show Card Hall.
The most important reason is actually that the membership fee here is the most affordable.
"Really? But it seems that no one in my class goes to this card room."
My daughter took out her cell phone and was asking her classmates in the group chat.
"You joined the Show Card Hall, doesn't that mean someone from your class is here?"
The father turned around to look at his daughter, only to find that she had stopped.
"Dad, this card room seems a little strange."
My daughter pointed to the entrance of the show card hall.
At this time, there were ten guys of different races standing there. They were the players who had arrived as promised to challenge the opponent.
"Uh, how about we come back another time."
My father was a little frightened by the situation.
Some of these guys were squatting, some were sitting directly on the ground, and some were smoking cigarettes or eating melon seeds.
Anyway, they don't look like good people or good things.
It is better to have less trouble than more. I should go back and ask around.
"Wait, Dad, I know that catfish head."
But unexpectedly, his daughter held him back.
"He is my classmate's card coach. He came to school to teach us how to play cards a while ago."
"Why is he here?"
The daughter intuitively felt that there might be something exciting to watch, so she pulled her father to find a place with a wide view and stayed there.
At this time, there were actually more than just the pig-eared father and daughter in the audience nearby.
Some were just passing by, and some were members of the card show hall. They were scattered everywhere, pointing and commenting on the ten card players.
"Have you heard? These seem to be coaches from other card gyms."
"A coach from another card room? What are you doing here?"
"Kick the club, how come you are so uninformed?"
"Come on? Why don't we see our coaching staff going up to beat them?"
"You don't know this. They came here specifically to look for Coach Shi."
"Coach Shi, is there such a person in our card room?"
"Forehead……"
When the discussions around reached the door of the card hall, only a buzz remained.
Ten players were told off, but they didn't care.
At first, when they first came to help guard the door of the show card hall, they were quite uncomfortable.
But I've gotten used to it, and now I feel much more comfortable.
Some people even brought small stools.
"Hey, you guys are blocking the door like this, it's affecting our card room's business."
Mushroom was on duty at the front desk today. He stood at the door and accused these guys.
"Brother Mushroom, this can't be blamed on us."
Some of them smiled bitterly.
"That's right. Your coach hasn't shown up yet, so we can only report on time according to the competition system."
"But don't worry, today is the last day, there won't be a next time."
"After today, if your coach doesn't respond to the challenge, you will lose."
Immediately, other challengers joined in.
Especially the last sentence, which was deliberately spoken very loudly.
It's loud enough to be heard by passers-by and spectators.
The intention behind this behavior is actually very clear.
It's just to tarnish the reputation of your card show hall.
Once the reputation of the card show hall is damaged, its customers will naturally be diverted to other card show halls.
Winning and losing at the poker table is normal, and losing is of course a little embarrassing.
But it would be even more embarrassing if you were judged as losing because you avoided fighting.
In particular, there is a card hall behind it.
Now according to their understanding, the so-called rookie of the year in the city is Coach Shi.
I guess he values ​​his reputation more than the card hall.
So even if I have to hide, I don't want to be defeated by so many people in such a public place.
"He won't avoid a fight, uguma!"
When Mosaichu heard this, he got angry on the spot.
But it couldn't refute it because Shi Li had not appeared until now.
"Mushroom brother, why don't you go in and tell me something."
At this time, another player who wanted to challenge the master spoke up: "When the time comes, we won't wait for him."
Some people have already taken out their phones to check the time. There is less than half an hour .
"He's really not in the card room, alas."
Mosaichu shook his head helplessly.
Three days ago, it received a text message from Shi Li, saying that he was going on a long journey.
He didn't tell me where he was going or when he would be back.
When Secretary He, who had been hiding inside the door, heard someone say this, he became extremely anxious.
If they really lose ten games in a row here, then they will have no hope of winning this city tournament.
My cousin is really unreliable. Why did she abduct Coach Shi at this time?
After gritting his teeth, he finally took the initiative to walk out the door.
"Everyone, please be patient."
"Coach Shi is on his way here. He will probably be back soon."
He tried to appease the challengers.
"Humph, Director He, your coach Shi is really arrogant."
At this time, a bad-tempered poker player spoke up: "Not only have you delayed us for 9 days, but now it's the last minute and you still want us to wait?"
Everyone was smart, and when they heard Shi Li was about to go back to the card room, they immediately started shouting.
"Yes, it's really big!"
"We are waiting for him because of the competition system. We respect the competition system, but it does not mean we are willing to accommodate him."
"That's right, I'm waiting for time, not waiting for him!"
"When the time is up, I will leave immediately!"
Now is not the time when they just come to the show card hall to challenge. During these 9 days, there have been some PKs between players from different card halls.
Among the players present, there are many who have already lost 1, 2 or 3 games.
For some of the people who are standing with one foot on the edge of the cliff, getting the three points from Shili is crucial.
Why take the risk of going to the poker table when you can win without fighting?
If you don’t get to the table and the time is up, you will win 100%.
Once you’re at the table, who dares to say with 100% certainty what’s happening?
(Tsk, these sneaky things.)
Secretary He smiled on the surface, but was actually cursing inwardly.
In fact, he knew their purpose.
He dared to guarantee that even if Shi Li really arrived, even if he was 1 second late, these people would leave on the spot.
Some people have even started recording videos, apparently intending to have evidence in hand if the card show hall wants to seek arbitration from them later.
But unfortunately, when he called Xiu Wushuang, she didn't answer, and when he sent her text messages, she didn't reply.
Not far away, the girl with pig ears who was watching the fun now roughly understood the whole story.
"Dad, the atmosphere in this card show hall doesn't seem to be good."
In her opinion, the coach was obviously avoiding a fight.
This gave her a very bad impression of Coach Shi and this card show hall.
Losing is losing, winning is winning. What's the point of escaping? It's really despicable.
"Forehead……"
The man with pig ears looked embarrassed and sighed secretly.
Judging from the current situation, this card show hall is indeed not good.
No wonder the membership fee is so cheap. I thought it was a good deal, but in reality, I’m afraid cheap things are not good.
At this time, not only the father and daughter, but also the people watching nearby had similar ideas.
Even some members of the card room at the show felt disappointed with the room, and some have even started thinking about changing to another one.
In such an atmosphere, the catfish-headed player's gaze fell somewhere .
There, gathered several "actors" hired by their card hall.
He wanted to take this opportunity to ruin the reputation of the card show hall.
As soon as these challengers leave, these actors will pretend to be members of the card show hall and rush to the door to shout.
As for the lines and so on, they have all been booked.
Things like "Don't be worthy of us! Are you crying? Give us back our money!"
For a moment, the field was strangely silent.
The challengers each have their own thoughts and are silently waiting for the arrival of the termination timeline.
As for the Show Card Hall, they didn't know what to say next.
In this way, time slowly passed.
Until a roar sounded in the distance, which seemed to be approaching rapidly, breaking this atmosphere.
“Here it comes!”
Secretary He's eyes suddenly lit up.
He remembered it very clearly. It was the unique roar of the engine of his cousin's car!
call out!
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a lightning-like shadow flew 5 meters above the crowd. It was a hover sports car.
After stopping, it began to slowly descend.
The vehicle landed and the door opened.
"Sorry, I'm not late."
Shi Li walked out with a smile on his face.
Here he comes, he comes with the A-level card.
