After making up his mind, Spinach began to take action.
First of all, [Magnetic Drill No. 4] must attack the [Tree Giant] because it cannot be allowed to [defend].
This is the third time it attacks the [Tree Giant], and [Resilience] has already taken effect in the last round.
Then [Giant Blood-eating Mosquito] + [Magnetic Drill No. 4] + [Black Cloud Elf] + [Senior Paladin] = 50 + 20 + 45 + 30 = 145 points of damage.
This round, it intends to use saturated output.
Just in case, make sure that even if the opponent uses [First Aid], there is enough damage to kill the [Tree Giant].
If I let this terrifying giant survive one more round, I will definitely lose.
As for the [Big Cloud], go get the [Fighting Monkey] to avoid wasting output if it is taken away.
After both parties have completed their selection process, the action phase officially begins.
The first to take action was Grandma Yun’s first aid.
[Hohohoho, you are not behaving well~]
+20
A green light fell on [Magnetic Drill No. 4].
As a result, Shi Li also had [First Aid] on his side.
【Yo Yo Yo Flower～】
+30
[Hua Yulu] raised its head and howled, then used [First Aid] on [Fighting Monkey].
“You…you you you!”
Seeing this scene, Spinach's face turned green, even though it already had green color on its face.
My behavior was completely predicted!
The opponent did not use [Flower Jade Deer] to output damage, nor did he use it to heal [Tree Giant], but instead healed [Fighting Monkey]!
"What's wrong? If you don't use the healing card for healing, are you using it as a blank card?"
Shi Li spread his hands with an innocent expression.
"Bocai! The wolf-fox is so mad!"
The more he did this, the more spinach got irritated.
If I had known this would happen, I would have let [Big Cloud] perform [Defense] and [First Aid] and I would have survived.
If I had known this would happen, I could have killed the [Tree Giant] without saturation output, and the excess output could have been used to attack the [Fighting Monkey].
But there are not so many ifs and in advance knowledge at the poker table. No one can guarantee 100% success in prediction, and no one can see the future as soon as he opens his eyes.
This time, I can only say that I chose the safest strategy.
But his prediction was completely predicted by the other party.
Next, the situation is simple.
Under the saturated output, the [Tree Giant] was killed instantly without a doubt.
[Tree Tree Me...]
Bang!
-60, -60
However, the heavy punch it delivered before death also took away [Big Cloud] and knocked off 60 points of health from [Magnetic Drill No. 4].
As for the remaining 30 health points of [Magnetic Drill No. Ⅳ], they were taken away by the finishing blow of [Grandma Yun] and the [Penetration] of [Fighting Monkey] + [Sword Dancer].
Here, Spinach made another wrong prediction.
It originally thought that the target of the [Tree Giant] would be the [Giant Blood-eating Mosquito], and thought that this card would definitely die, so it did not release [First Aid]. Now it is wasted on [Magnetic Drill No. 4].
This made it angry again.
After the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Vacant] [Paladin] [Dark Cloud]
【Grandma】【Vacant Seat】【Giant Mosquito 25】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Fighting Monkey 40】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Flower Jade Deer】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Sword Dancer 85】
Because of the [gravitational traction] of [Magnetic Drill No. 4], [Grandma Yun] was dragged up when she left the stage.
“…Huh?”
When Spinach saw this card, he was stunned.
The reason why the strategy it adopted in this round is called the safest is that it doesn't matter even if Shi Li predicted several waves.
Even in this situation, I still win 1 regular card and gain health points.
But...it suddenly found itself in a very embarrassing situation without realizing it!
"Your trump card is not in the middle column."
"You want to use this as leverage to expose your trump card, huh?"
At this time, Shi Li spoke.
Although he sounded calm, he was actually secretly relieved.
He knew very well that the other party would want to use the [Fighting Monkey] to help reveal the trump card.
Once the trump card is revealed, you can use the mobility of the [Black Cloud Elf] to block in front of the trump card, and it will be foolproof.
But now, judging from Spinach’s reaction, it is obvious that the trump card is either on the left or on the right.
On the left, [Granny Yun] was pulled up, and [Pierce Through] could only hit the empty space behind her and could not reveal the trump card.
On the right side, don’t you see that there are two regular cards? How come they can’t get to the ace?
What's more, under his design, the [Black Cloud Elf] was stuck and couldn't move at all.
"Humph! So what if that's the case!"
When Spinach was guessed at the core of the matter, he immediately became angry.
No longer paying attention to Shi Li, it began to manipulate the game.
Don't be fooled by its angry appearance. In fact, after careful calculation, it is secretly happy.
In the current situation, I have a huge advantage!
It couldn't understand why the other side was still holding on and unwilling to surrender.
Don’t worry about it, just run over it!
Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Shi Li shrugged and started playing the card game.
Then a new action round arrived, and both cards took action.
In this round, Spinach took the approach of focusing all its firepower on [Fighting Monkey].
Because only in this way can we achieve saturation output and ensure that the [Fighting Monkey] is killed when its blood points turn into 70 points after receiving 30 points of [First Aid].
【Buzz buzz buzz! 】
-30
[Giant Blood-eating Mosquito] rushed out first and stung [Fighting Monkey] fiercely.
"Um?"
Seeing this, Spinach was stunned again.
He attacked directly at the beginning of the round, so there was no use for the opponent's [First Aid]!
【Hurululu! 】
-10
The [Black Cloud Elf], with only 20 attack points left, crashed into the [Fighting Monkey].
【Judge you! 】
-20
Then came the [Senior Paladin], who came down swinging his one-handed hammer.
[Hohoho, spank you~]
-10
Finally, Grandma Yun came over slowly with a cane and hit the monkey's red butt with the cane.
She originally only had 10 points of attack power. If it weren't for the 10-point bonus from the [Red Light Array], she wouldn't even be able to break the [Body Receiving Expert] of the [Fighting Monkey].
Next, it was Shi Li's turn to attack.
【Cuckoo, quack! 】
-15, -7.5 (through)
The [Fighting Monkey] rushed to the [Giant Blood-eating Mosquito], gave it a beating of monkey fists, and by the way [pierced] the [Black Cloud Elf].
【Cuckoo, quack! 】
-7.5, -3.75 (throughout)
This is a counterattack against the [Giant Blood-eating Mosquito].
【Cuckoo, quack! 】
-7.5, -3.75 (throughout)
This was a counterattack against the [Black Cloud Elf], hitting the [Giant Blood-eating Mosquito].
【Cuckoo, quack! 】
-7.5, MISS
This is a counterattack against [Senior Paladin], and by the way, it verifies that the middle column ace is empty.
【Cuckoo, quack! 】
-7.5
This is a counterattack against Grandma Yun.
"Why does it look so tired to me?"
Director Xiu, who had not spoken for a long time, finally couldn't help it.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It attacked 5 times in total."
Secretary He was counting on his fingers.
They were right. At this moment, the monkey was supporting his knees with his hands, panting with his tongue hanging out.
Fortunately, it can go off work after finishing this round.
【Yoyo Flower～】
-30
Then [Hua Yulu] ran headfirst into [Grandma Yun].
"I knew it!"
Spinach snorted in annoyance. This guy is not cute at all!
[Please accept this sword~]
-30
[Sword Dancer] Another sword.
At the end of this round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Vacant] [Paladin 92.5] [Black Cloud 85]
【Grandma 40】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Flower Jade Deer】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Sword Dancer 85】
"this……"
Spinach looked at his cards and didn't expect that in order to kill a monkey with 40 health points, he would suffer such a huge loss?
"..." x2
Director Xiu and Secretary He exchanged glances again at this time.
Secretary He: Well...it seems like there’s no hope.
Director Xiu: No, not necessarily.
Secretary He: Oh? How do you mean?
Director Xiu: Please pay attention to my eyes.
So next, Director Xiu used a pair of expressive eyes to explain to the secretary.
Director Xiu: No matter how you look at the situation on the surface, it seems that spinach is in a great advantage.
Leading by 2 cards, leading by 132.5 health points.
However, there are three unstable factors in the gambling situation.
First, the first point.
It’s [Grandma Yun] who is anemic, and this card obviously can’t heal herself.
Then, the second point.
It's the layout of the cards.
The cards on Spinach's side are too scattered and cannot take care of each other.
On the other hand, on Shi Li's side, [Hua Yulu] can hold on for a long time, enough to ensure that [Sword Dancer] has no worries about output.
Finally, the third point.
I'm not so sure about this myself.
So I believe that even the spinach guy didn't notice it.
That is the mechanism of the card [Hua Yu Lu], which is very special.
This may make it play a super powerful role under the current situation.
Of course, it's just a possibility.
Because even I have never seen this kind of card, I can't be sure it really exists.
This is how I understand it based on the text information on the cards.
I don’t know where this guy got such a strange card.
Anyway, you will understand if you keep reading.
Secretary He: What are you doing with your eyes?
Director Xiu: A little bit.
Secretary He: ..., even the void commentators are not as exaggerated as you.
After the eye contact between the two ended, Spinach also started talking.
"Kid, sometimes trying to hold on at the poker table will only make you more embarrassed."
It was now in a relaxed mood, so it joked: "You humans have a saying, called the Westerner Wei Junjie."
"What the hell, your teacher is a colonel, right?"
Shi Li was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
"snort."
Spinach didn't understand the complaint and turned to look at Secretary He: "Just wait for the copy crystal to be presented to you with both hands."
But it seems that these two people are not paying attention to the game, He Wenmi is trying to please Xiu Wushuang.
Without further ado, the game continues.
In this round, Spinach does not intend to drag it on any longer.
The strategy it adopted was to focus its fire on [Hua Yulu].
【You are not good! 】
Grandma Yun's expression became more and more ferocious, as if she was impatient and wanted to get off work, and she knocked harder with the cane in her hand.
But it's still only 20 points of damage.
【Judge you! 】
-30
【Gurgle! Gurgle!】
-20
After one round, a total of 70 health points of [Hua Yulu] were reduced.
【Yoyo Flower～】
【Look at the sword! 】
-30, -30
On Shi Li's side, he killed [Grandma Yun] with two cards.
The round ends and the cards are as follows:
[Vacant] [Paladin 92.5] [Black Cloud 85]
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Flower Jade Deer 30】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Sword Dancer 85】
Seeing this situation, Director Xiu didn't even bother to take the medicine and quickly pulled Secretary He's sleeve.
It seems that what she imagined is about to happen.
"you are done!"
Spinach didn't seem to notice it at all and was overjoyed instead.
The long-awaited [Way of Balance] is already beckoning to me.
But now the atmosphere created by these three people always makes it feel a little weird.
So at the beginning of the new round, it decided to play it safe first.
【Yoyo Flower～】
+30
[Hua Yulu] raised his head and howled, then used [First Aid] on himself.
This situation was actually within Spinach's expectations.
Anyway, no matter whether [Hua Yulu] is [Defending], [First Aid] or [Attack], after this round ends, it will not escape the fate of being killed in the next round.
However...a strange scene happened.
Click!
The stone shell quickly spread over the body of the [Flower Jade Deer], turning it into a stone sculpture in the blink of an eye!
"Ah?" x2
Spinach and Secretary He were both shocked.
"This is……?"
Secretary He, in particular, looked at Director Xiu in surprise.
The special mechanism that my cousin mentioned just now, is this what she is referring to?
"Look carefully at the cards."
Director Xiu's eyes are temporarily disabled, so he can only speak with his mouth.
【Flower Jade Deer】
Wisdom, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/4
[Flower Qi - 2 Energy]: Hua Yulu chooses a target and gains 30 [First Aid]
[Flower Stone - Passive]: After the Flower Jade Deer runs out of energy, it will continue to be [Petrified]
[Stone Flower - Passive]: When Flower Jade Deer falls into [Petrified] state, you can select a target to release 30 points of [Healing] in this round.
([Petrification]: The target loses the ability to move, and the damage from attacks received this round is -10)
As soon as Secretary He saw the situation, he reacted.
[First aid], the priority is very high.
[Petrification] is a debuff and has a high priority, but not as high as [First Aid].
Therefore, [First Aid] exhausted the energy first, allowing [Petrification] to successfully make the judgment.
If he guessed correctly, [Hua Yulu] could even release [Healing] once more in this round.
No wonder my cousin said that this mechanism is very powerful and special.
[First Aid] → [Petrification] → [Treatment]
The priorities of these three steps are quite clear, and the order is also in line with the logic of the table.
It's really rare to see a card like this.
“Is this even possible?!”
Spinach also reacted at this time. It looked at Shi Li in confusion: "Are you sure? Are you sure you are not talking nonsense because you can't beat me?"
"Well, Cube doesn't talk nonsense."
Shi Li scratched his cheek.
To be honest, he came up with this mechanism by accident.
I didn't think it would be like this when I was shuffling the cards , and only discovered it when I used them to fight monsters in the dungeon.
As Director Xiu expected, during the transformation phase when the energy was exhausted, [Hua Yulu] released two recovery effects in succession, 1 [First Aid] + 1 [Treatment].
The round ends, and the cards of both parties are as follows:
【Vacant】【Paladin 92.5】【Vacant】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Black Cloud 55】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Hua Yulu 60】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Sword Dancer 85】
Fortunately, Spinach took precautions and allowed the [Black Cloud Elf] to [move].
Because he moved and stood on the next row of cards.
Therefore, [Black Cloud Elf] directly received a 5+10 attack power bonus, and the attack power reached 35 points.
Shi Li certainly would not allow this card to continue to stack its attack power, so he did not intend to pay attention to the [Senior Paladin] and continued to attack the [Black Cloud Elf].
But in the next round, [Black Cloud Elf] chose [Defense].
After the two sides exchanged their cards, the two sides' cards were as follows:
【Vacant】【Paladin 92.5】【Vacant】
【Vacant】【Vacant】【Black Cloud 40】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Hua Yulu 70】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Sword Dancer 85】
“…”
Seeing this situation, Secretary He suddenly wanted to say something.
But before he could open his mouth, he felt his wrist being clamped.
Turning around, he saw Director Xiu shaking his head at him.
They cannot remind him at this time, just like they did not remind Spinach just now, they cannot remind Shi Li now.
But in fact, there was no need for anyone to remind him, as Shi Li seemed to have seen through Bocai's intentions.
So when a new round came, he chose to attack the [Senior Paladin].
As a result, the prediction was wrong.
This time, Spinach's choice is still to focus on two cards.
After the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Vacant] [Paladin 62.5] [Vacant]
【Vacant】【Vacant】【Black Cloud 40】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Hua Yulu 55】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Sword Dancer 85】
This made Shi Li look up at Spinach.
He discovered that the eight-color rainbow wolf-fox was not looking at him at all. Instead, it was staring at the cards quietly. Even its expression was different, and it was quite focused.
It’s like entering another higher level of competitive state.
Just then, Spinach finally looked up at him.
For a moment, their eyes met.
"?"
Shi Li suddenly realized that he didn't know how to describe the other party's look.
It was as if... an emotionless object was looking at him.
This experience is not very good.
Even when I was in a PVE game and facing ferocious monsters, I had never had such a feeling.
Neither of them spoke, and Shi Li took the initiative to look away.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the card to control it.
But suddenly, the movement paused slightly.
Because he suddenly realized that there was a trap in this game of cards.
It seems like I have fallen into the other party's conspiracy!
“It’s interesting.”
This feeling made his eyes light up slightly.
Since it's an open conspiracy, just take it.
After another round, the cards of both sides changed again:
[Vacant] [Paladin 32.5] [Vacant]
【Vacant】【Vacant】【Black Cloud 40】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Hua Yulu 40】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Sword Dancer 85】
Secretary He felt anxious when seeing this situation.
Because the opponent's concentrated fire can cause 45 points of damage, [Hua Yulu] with 40 health points has reached the kill line.
Why didn’t Shi Li attack the [Black Cloud Elf]?
If we attacked the [Black Cloud Elf], it would have died long ago!
Unlike Secretary He, Director Xiu next to him had a frown on his face.
She had already figured out the conspiracy behind this game of cards at this moment.
But she had played cards with Spinach many times before, and thought she was quite familiar with his style at the table.
Why do I always feel that this level of strategy is not something it can design?
