Normally speaking, even if a normal person predicts that he might [Exile] the [Golden Behemoth Statue], just in case, even if [Breaking Sword] does not output damage to [Golden Behemoth Statue] this round, he should still let [Breaking Sword] use the skill to avoid being killed and wasting the release opportunity.
Wang Defa could only say that this represented the other party, a person who was extremely confident in his own judgment.
But this kind of self-confidence is actually not the most terrifying thing.
If it were an ordinary new poker player, it would be fine and could be explained as recklessness.
But he knew that the person sitting across from him at the card table was a professional coach who was playing cards with others.
In other words, the other party's confidence is most likely based on a large number of successful cases.
As the saying goes, one leaf can tell the coming of autumn. At this moment, at this card table, Wang Defa finally faced Shi Li completely.
Because such a simple operation is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Then, it was Wang Defa's turn to use his cards for output.
【Jump! 】
【The tumbler is buzzing! 】
-5, -10
[Red Fire Jump] + [Golden Knight] both focused their fire on [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].
After the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Vacant】【Vacant】【Jellyfish】
[Red Fire][Behemoth 212.5][Qiweng 2.5]
VS
【Sheep Rabbit 80】【Break the Balance 57.5】【Exorcise the Demon 75】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
“…”
Such a situation made Wang Defa look gloomy.
Because in the next round, the fully charged [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] will definitely knock off 100 health points of the [Golden Behemoth Statue], and it will not be able to escape.
In other words, there is not much room for me to operate with these secondary cards.
Soon, the actions of both parties were confirmed.
【Mee-zha~! 】
Without a doubt, [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] rushed out wielding nunchakus.
-50, -50, (dizziness)
100-5=95 points of damage, which is the health loss of the [Golden Behemoth] in this round.
Then, it was [exiled].
After all, once controlled, you lose the ability to attack, so it is better to [Exile] it to avoid subsequent attacks.
【Bobobobo～】
【Jump! 】
【Buzz buzz! 】
Then Wang Defa's [Golden Demon Mother] ([Demonic Energy] + 10 Attack) + [Red Fire Jump] + [Golden Knight] all focused their fire on [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].
The final damage was 35+5+10=50 points.
As long as he continues to focus fire in the next round, [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] will definitely die.
As for Shi Li, the output was dispersed.
[Nameless Sword Spirit] killed [Golden Knight Weng] with one sword.
[Breaking Sword] + [Demon Exterminator] focus their fire on [Red Fire Jump], causing 60 points of damage.
After the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Vacant】【Vacant】【Jellyfish】
[Red Fire 40][Behemoth 117.5][Qi Weng 0]
VS
【Sheep Rabbit 30】【Break the Balance 57.5】【Exorcise the Demon 85】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
What made Wang Defa uncomfortable was that [Breaking the Balance Sword] and [Demon Killer] were still holding full energy.
I have to admit that my operation was taken advantage of in the last round, and now the opponent has caught up with me.
Every subsequent move by both parties will directly affect the outcome of the game.
So Wang Defa began to calculate in his mind what he should do in this round.
First, [Golden Demon Mother] + [Red Fire Jump] + [Golden Knight] can cause 50 points of damage to [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].
If the opponent [Defends], it will be 25 points of damage.
25 points of damage, can't kill [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].
However, if the opponent [Defends], it means that there is no energy left, and she will still die in the next round and will no longer have the chance to perform [Two Combos].
Therefore, the correct answer for this round should be to focus on [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] again while [Red Fire Jump] and [Golden Knight] are still there.
In this way, even if [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] is [defending], it can still take away 25 points of her health, leaving only 5 points, which will be more than enough for [Red Fire Jump] to deal with in the next round.
But should the [Golden Behemoth Statue] continue to be [exiled]?
If the opponent attacks the [Golden Behemoth], it will die in this round.
If the opponent does not attack the [Golden Behemoth], then it can deal high damage in this round.
But now this problem is a purely psychological game.
As the saying goes, I predicted your prediction, you predicted my prediction, and I predicted your prediction.
You can do this infinitely, in an infinite cycle.
Wang Defa knew that thinking this way would lead to no results.
So he chose the most primitive method and began to silently recite an ancient and omnipotent spell in his mind:
(Point at the soldiers, point at the soldiers. Whoever you point at… will… serve… as a soldier!)
(Well, since that is God's will.)
(Then no [Exile] this turn!)
With a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashing across his eyes, Wang Defa made a decision.
However, being imperceptible does not mean being unperceptible.
His opponent happened to be Shi Li, so...
Both parties confirm that the action is completed and enter the action round.
The first to act was [Nameless Sword Spirit], which caused 20 points of damage to [Red Fire Jump] and made it [Prohibited from Healing].
(I am.)
Seeing this, Wang Defa felt heartbroken.
This healing ban card did not apply the healing ban to the [Golden Behemoth Statue] in two rounds.
If I had known this earlier, it would have been great if I had let [Golden Knight] heal [Golden Behemoth] before he died this turn.
As a result, my energy is now only 1/3 and I can’t even produce milk if I want to.
But he knew very well that it was just a thought.
There is no such thing as "knowing it in advance" at the poker table.
If the energy of your [Golden Knight] is sufficient, the opponent might change his fighting style.
After [Nameless Sword Spirit] takes action, both sides will exchange damage.
[Golden Demon Mother] + [Red Fire Jump] + [Golden Knight] focus their fire on [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] to cause 50 points of damage and take it away.
[Golden Behemoth] attacks [Break the Balance Sword] and causes 45 points of damage, leaving it with 12.5 points of health.
But what surprised Wang Defa was that the opponent actually guessed his decision for this round.
In addition to the [Nameless Sword Spirit], everyone focused their fire on the [Golden Behemoth Statue], and even the [Breaking Sword] that had been held back was finally released.
【Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit】Causes 50 points of damage.
[Break the Balance Sword] causes 45 points of damage.
[Demon Hunter] Causes 30 points of damage.
50+45+30=125 damage, minus 5 points of [shield], which is 120 damage.
Just a little bit of it overflowed, taking away the [Golden Behemoth Statue] with 117.5 health points.
(How dare he?)
(I've been holding back on this skill for so long, and it just so happens that I'm using it right this turn!)
Wang Defa tried his best to control his expression, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
But what he didn't know was that Shi Li was not making groundless guesses.
Instead, I made this choice because I confirmed through eye contact that I had met the right person.
He has practiced this specially and can observe subtle changes in expressions of even species like slimes, grass men and mushroom men, not to mention humans.
If you want to avoid being observed by him, it is best to cover your face with a mask.
No, it’s better to wear sunglasses to cover your eyeballs.
After this round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Vacant】【Vacant】【Jellyfish】
[Red Fire 20][Vacant] [Vacant]
VS
【Vacant Position】【Break the Balance 12.5】【Exorcise the Demon 85】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
At this point, everyone outside the barrier fell silent.
The coaching staff at Wang Defa Card Gym never expected that the director, who had previously had the upper hand, would suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse in just two rounds and be beaten like this.
Lan Pi also remained silent, but was very excited.
In his eyes, it was because Coach Shi used brilliant predictions in two rounds to completely see through the opponent's strategy that he gained the advantage.
Of course, those three cards that counter monsters also played a significant role.
But looking at the cards like this, Wang Defa didn't feel that he had given up.
On the contrary, he believes he still has a lot of room for maneuver.
After all, I am a senior and the director of the card hall, so there is still a lot of room for maneuver.
Even if there is only a tiny chance left, we must fight to the end.
So a new round came and the two sides started fighting again.
Wang Defa used [Red Fire Jump] to attack [Demon Hunter], causing 10 points of damage.
[Golden Demon Mother] attacked [Breaking Balance Sword] and took it away.
Shi Li used the [Breaking Sword] to attack the [Golden Demon Mother], causing 30 points of damage.
[Nameless Sword Spirit] attacked [Golden Demon Mother], making her [unable to heal].
However, [Nameless Sword Spirit] lost the bonus of [Golden Knight], so its attack power is only 15 points.
Then [Demon Slayer] attacked [Golden Demon Mother], causing 50 points of damage.
Deduct 5 points of [Shield], and the total damage is 90 points.
At the end of the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Vacant】【Vacant】【Jellyfish 110】
[Red Fire 20][Vacant] [Vacant]
VS
【Vacant】【Vacant】【Exorcist 75】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
Although this round was a complete exchange of normal attacks, it once again caused the Void Commentator to appear.
"The curator fought beautifully in this round."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Some people haven't reacted yet and look at the Void Commentator.
They just felt it was strange. Shi Li could obviously kill [Red Fire Jump] in an instant, but why didn't he do it?
“Ahem.”
The Void Commentator cleared his throat and began to explain.
"The current situation is actually a bit embarrassing for Coach Shi."
"Because the output of [Demon Slayer] must be used on [Golden Demon Mother] to trigger the special attack, and he is the main force in defeating [Golden Demon Mother], so we can't waste even one turn on [Red Fire Jump]."
"Then [Nameless Sword Spirit] cannot attack [Red Fire Jump] either, because he must always cast [Healing Ban] on [Golden Demon Mother] to suppress its recovery."
"That is to say, the round that just ended was actually the best time for Coach Shi to eliminate [Red Fire Jump]."
"After all, at this point in the game, even 10 points of attack power is very important."
"If we don't deal with [Red Fire Jump], then in this situation, these 10 points of attack power can also accumulate to form a threat."
"But Coach Shi must have considered that if [Red Fire Jump] is [defensive], then [Breaking Balance Sword] will not be able to kill ."
"Rather than risking wasting 30 points of damage and not being able to kill the opponent, it is better to directly use the damage on the [Golden Demon Mother]. It will definitely not be a loss."
"The director's operation in this round was brilliant because he captured the opponent's mentality."
"So I didn't let [Red Fire Jump] do [Defense], but took the opportunity to attack with a single attack."
After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
A new round arrives and both sides continue to act.
[Come, sword]
-10, (No healing)
The first to take action was still the [Nameless Sword Spirit], and the target was still the [Golden Demon Mother].
However, due to the loss of the [Breaking Sword], its attack power was reduced again.
If you deduct 5 points of [Shield], there will only be 5 points of damage.
But the subsequent [movement] of the [Golden Demon Mother] caused the [ Demon Slayer's] attack to fail.
In fact, there is still a small game involved here.
That means Shi Li must judge whether the opponent will [move].
If you can't [Move], then [Demon Slayer] can just attack directly.
If he can [Move], then he must have [Demon Slayer] attack the empty row of cards in the middle column.
In Cube decks, attacking an empty column is allowed.
But since it doesn't make any sense, no one will do it.
If you do, it may be considered impolite and disrespectful to the opposing player.
If you participate in some competitions with strict rules, you may be punished.
Attacking an empty column only makes sense when facing a [Move] card, which is the current situation.
What Shi Li is facing now is a similar situation to when he was competing against Bo Xilai.
But this time, he chose to predict that the other party would not [move].
The result is just as you can see, it failed.
The price was that the output of [Demon Slayer] missed the target, and then he was hit by [Red Fire Jump] again in vain.
At the end of the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Vacant】【Jellyfish 105】【Vacant】
[Red Fire 20][Vacant] [Vacant]
VS
【Vacant】【Vacant】【Exorcist 65】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
This situation gave Shi Li a headache.
[Golden Demon Mother] still has 3/4 of its health left, which means it can move twice in a row.
In other words, this 55-50 game can be carried out at least twice.
If you lose a few more times, you will be out of luck.
Fortunately, a new round of action arrived and his prediction was accurate.
[Demon Hunter]'s attack hits again.
It should be mentioned here that although the energy of [Demon Hunter] is full, it is not suitable to release skills.
Because [Golden Demon Mother] has [Gold Resistance - Passive]: When Golden Demon Mother receives non-attack damage, the damage is -10
The [Thirteen Breaks] of the [Demon Hunter] is skill damage, that is, non-attack damage.
And the skills do not enjoy the bonus of [Tianshi].
I stayed still for one round just to have some free time, and also to ignore [Defense] just in case.
In this round, both sides exchanged attacks.
So after the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Vacant】【Jellyfish 45】【Vacant】
[Red Fire 20][Vacant] [Vacant]
VS
【Vacant Seat】【Vacant Seat】【Exorcist 15】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
This kind of situation seemed to be within Wang Defa's expectations.
So in the new round, he quickly moved [Golden Demon Mother] behind [Red Fire Jump].
Shi Li predicted this situation and changed his strategy.
It was still [Nameless Sword Spirit] + [Demon Slayer] who focused their fire, and the target was [Red Fire Jump], and they finally took it away.
This seemingly useless card finally ended its sinful life in the late stage of the game.
But in fact, it is precisely because it is inconspicuous and non-threatening that it was able to stand to the end and play a series of key roles.
At this time, [Red Fire Jump] counterattacked before death, causing 10 points of damage to [Nameless Sword Spirit].
The [Golden Demon Mother], who was finally no longer [banned from healing], performed 30 points of [healing] on herself.
After the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Jellyfish 75】【Vacant】【Vacant】
VS
【Vacant Seat】【Vacant Seat】【Exorcist 15】
[Blade and Soul 90][Cover][Cover]
Such a card situation caused the void commentator outside the barrier to sigh.
"In this round, both sides have done their best."
"First of all, Coach Shi, he even gave up the [Healing Ban] on the [Golden Demon Mother] and focused his fire to instantly kill the [Red Fire Jump]."
"Because in this round, the [Golden Demon Mother] has moved to this position, and the [Demon Exorcist] has no way to attack it."
"If we don't get rid of [Red Fire Jump] this round, it will be used as a shield in the next round, and then [Demon Exorcist] will still be unable to output."
"That's why Coach Shi allowed the [Golden Demon Mother] to perform 30 points of [Healing] and killed the [Red Fire Jump] in advance, just to give the [Demon Exterminator] one more chance to output."
"The curator had anticipated this situation, so he let Red Fire Jump counterattack before dying, knocking off 10 points of the Nameless Sword Spirit's health first."
"Because the Golden Demon Mother only has 30 attack points, and I can destroy her by 90 points in 3 rounds, which is just enough to kill her."
"Everyone should be able to foresee what will happen next."
"The key to victory or defeat lies in Coach Shi's trump card."
After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
A new round begins and the two sides exchange attacks again.
[Nameless Sword Spirit] + [Demon Hunter] caused 10+50 damage to [Golden Demon Mother] and [banned healing], while [Shield] offset 5 points of damage.
[Golden Demon Mother] used the excess damage to kill [Demon Exterminator].
After the round, the cards look like this:
【Jellyfish 20】【Vacant】【Vacant】
VS
[Blade and Soul 90][Cover][Cover]
The cards played by both sides turned into a one-on-one duel between two cards.
But there is one situation that makes the situation a little awkward.
First of all, there is only [Nameless Sword Spirit] himself left, so he only has 5 points of attack power left.
These 5 points of attack power cannot cause any damage to the [Golden Demon Mother] at all.
Because it will be offset by the 5 points of [Shield] of [Golden Demon City].
Then the [Golden Demon Mother] was also helpless.
Although the opponent cannot cause damage to it, [Healing Ban] will still be effective.
In other words, it cannot recover blood!
Then the final situation will be that [Golden Demon Mother] will reveal Shi Li's trump card with 20 health points.
Just as the Void commentator said, the outcome of this game still depends on Shi Li's trump card!
【Bobobobo～】
-30
[I will take my leave first.]
As the three rounds ended, [Nameless Sword Spirit] finally left the stage.
"call……"
Wang Defa looked at the scene in front of him and let out a long sigh.
Next, it depends on what kind of trump card the opponent will play.
I have done what I can do, and the rest is no longer under my control.
Only at this point did he realize that his back was covered in sweat.
Even if he had seen Shi Li's card game with his own eyes before, he would not have been able to imagine it.
Such a young new poker player actually puts himself under so much pressure at the poker table!
