Outside the barrier, everyone couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the card.
"I never thought that Coach Shi would fight the director to the very last man."
"Recently, I have followed the gym leader to challenge the gym, or watched other people challenge the gym's card games, but none of them have been fought to this extent."
"Perhaps the only one that came close was the tie between Pingju and the curator, but at that time both sides just revealed all the regular cards and it ended in a tie. I don't know what kind of agreement was reached at the table."
"It looks like the results of this year's show at the card show hall may be coming out."
Xiao Hou, who was in the crowd, didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing this.
The opponent who had competed with him in the Rising Star Comprehensive Competition a month or two ago was now able to fight on equal terms with his master.
He didn't know how to describe his bitter mood, it just felt bad.
At this time, another Void commentator came online in the crowd.
"Even though the gym leader's ace only has 20 health points left, it's not easy for Coach Shi to win ."
He looked at the cards and spoke slowly.
"Because the curator's [Golden Demon Mother] can [Heal] 30 points per round."
"Also, please note that this [Treatment] is clearly written as 'automatically obtained', which means that even if it is controlled, it can still recover health."
"Then unless the new card that Coach Shi reveals also has the [Healing Ban] effect, if we want to win, we must kill [Golden Demon Mother] in the first round after revealing the card."
"If you want to kill the [Golden Demon Mother] in one second, you must take those 5 points of [Shield] into consideration."
"The instant coach's trump card must have 25 attack points to be enough to win."
"Also considering that the curator can let the [Golden Demon Mother] reduce damage through [Defense], thereby delaying the number of rounds to recover health."
"Then Coach Shi's trump card needs to be upgraded. It must have an attack power of at least 45 in order to win."
"45 damage - 5 [shield], 20 damage left after hitting [defense], just right."
"This doesn't sound that difficult. Maybe we don't have a [Healing Ban] card, but I believe everyone has cards with an attack power of more than 45 points. This is not uncommon."
"But the key point is that the coach only has 10 points left."
"A 10-point card wants to have 45 attack points, or in other words, wants to deal 45 points of damage to the Golden Demon Mother in one round."
"This can only be done by an S-level monster-killing card, right?"
"Rather than expecting a card that is impossible to appear, it is better to expect the coach to reveal the [Healing Ban] card next."
"But [Healing Ban] is such a rare effect, can Coach Shi really have two of them?"
After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
Lanpi's face was gloomy at this time: Yes, this analysis is indeed correct.
But he also knew that Coach Shi could always give them surprises.
So this time, will...
Obviously, the points at which Shi Li could turn the situation around have been analyzed.
So the conclusion is.
Where did he get the S-level card to counter monsters or the second [Healing Ban] card?
"I give up."
Shi Li spread his hands and didn't reveal his trump card.
Before his pitiful 10-point trump card was revealed, if he couldn't beat Wang Defa, then he really couldn't beat him.
This deck of cards he had was a gamble of all.
Facing Wang Defa's powerful deck, he placed all his bets on regular cards.
The result was just a little bit off, there was nothing we could do.
Overall, my performance in this game was actually normal, or even exceptional.
Although there are times when mistakes are caught, there are also times when we fall into the opponent's calculations and are predicted .
But there are times when we catch the opponent, and times when we predict successfully.
After all, the opponent is the director of a card gym, the top fighter in the player circle.
Whether it's experience, deck strength, or deck richness, to be honest, they are all better than me.
You can't possibly expect the opponent to be like Ah Xiong or Catfish Head, where you can seize the initiative and beat him at will.
Moreover, even if the opponent was of the level of Ah Xiong or Catfish Head, Shi Li believed that he could not defeat him as long as the battle line was extended.
For example, if you play 10 games in a row with the same person , he may only win the first 2 to 4 games.
Because later on, all his cards were exposed.
Anyway, as long as he could reach this point, Shi Li felt that he was OK.
It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it.
Buzz...
As he pressed the surrender button, the table began to converge and the barrier slowly faded away.
"Director, that's amazing."
"The curator is mighty."
"Director Wang is excellent."
"As expected of you, Director."
The audience was stunned at first, but after they reacted, they all gave Wang Defa compliments and thumbs up. Only Lan Pi, who was hiding in the crowd, raised his middle finger.
This word "hide" holds the essence.
(So ​​you know this gesture has other meanings, right?)
Shi Li caught the blue skin's slightly flickering posture.
I thought to myself that next time the other person gives me the middle finger, I’ll really have to think about it carefully.
Just then, a hand patted his shoulder.
"Shi, very good, you played very well."
Wang Defa, who was sweating on his back just now, now smiled brightly.
Because no matter what, he won in the end .
The joy of winning a hard-fought battle is quite satisfying for poker players.
It also shows that he has already recognized the other player at the table without realizing it.
"You are still the best, Old Wang."
As a loser, Shi Li was quite honest.
“You didn’t actually lose.”
At this time, Wang Defa said again: "Because your scene cards basically have no effect."
"And the reason I was able to defeat you was because of the [Golden Demon City]."
"If neither side had a scenario card, or if you had a B-grade, no, a better C-grade scenario card, then you would have won a long time ago."
"Remember, my promise to you is still valid. The door of Wang Defa Card Hall is always open to you."
The more he looked at this boy, the more he liked him.
There's nothing you can do about it, poker players just like strong players.
But when his words were heard by the others present, their meaning gradually changed.
"If you can't beat them, join them. Coach Shi Li was impressed by Director Wang Defa at the poker table."
"Director Wang Defa acknowledged Coach Shi Li's strength and announced to the public that he lost to Coach Shi Li."
"Coach Shi beat Director Wang, so beating Coach Shi is equal to beating Director Wang?"
"If word gets out, I'm afraid Coach Shi will add a lot of challengers."
"Really? That would be interesting."
The further you go on, the further it seems to deviate from the facts.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, but the fact that they could fabricate such stories in front of the parties involved shows that these guys are not serious people in their daily lives.
"Get out! Don't you have to go to work?"
Faced with these remarks, Wang Defa could only laugh and curse.
After dispersing the crowd, he invited Shi Li and Lan Pi to sit down.
"Hours."
Playing with the golden teacup, Wang Defa suddenly became serious and said, "Do you know about the delegation from the Balance Card Hall?"
"Um."
Shi Li repeated the story of Pingju sending him the post.
"That's good."
Wang Defa nodded after listening, and then said: "I have already told my men about today's card game in advance."
“You can only reveal the results, not the process.”
"So for the next period of time, don't take out those cards of yours, especially the [Breaking Sword] and the [Nameless Sword Spirit]."
Having said that, he looked at Lanpi.
The meaning of this look is quite obvious.
"Manager Shi and I are from the same card room, so of course I can't reveal his deck!"
Lanpi understood the other person's eyes and his expression froze.
"Sure, you guy."
Shi Li began to look at the other party with a new respect.
I can't help but give a thumbs up: he knows the general situation.
Lanpi: Are you praising me or scolding me?
Shi Li: Guess.
Lanpi: ..., I feel like it has both meanings.
"I heard that there are several players around your age in the delegation from the Balance Hall this time."
At this time, Wang Defa said again: "The situation is very similar to yours. We are both new poker players with less than one year of experience."
"I heard that they will also participate in the city competition in the Balanced Region."
"Maybe you should pay more attention to them. After all, they are of the same age."
After saying that, he picked up the golden teacup and took a sip of tea.
"oh?"
Hearing that they were also newcomers and of similar age, Shi Li couldn't help but become a little interested.
Lanlan City's representative selection mechanism is similar to theirs, and the players who can be recommended by the Balance Hall must be strong.
The fact that a new player can stand out from the veteran players and be recommended is already a proof of his strength.
Needless to say, he was actually interested in meeting such an opponent.
I'm tired of always playing against players who are stronger than me. It would be nice to find a few decks of similar strength to change things up.
"It's still some time before those guys come over, you can try to go through the dungeon to level up."
"Then I'll give them a good warning."
Judging from Wang Defa's tone, he doesn't seem to like these foreign delegations very much.
"Okay, Lao Wang, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first, Lao Wang."
Shi Li looked at the time and decided to leave.
The purpose of this trip is to earn points. If I don’t get them from Lao Wang, I have to get them from somewhere else.
He actually had a record before setting off.
On the way back from Wang Defa's card hall, there are two card halls along the way. You can go there to play with Catfish Head, then go there to play with Ah Xiong, and then go home.
Catfish head:?
Ah Xiong:?
So he told Lan Pi the plan, and they embarked on a new journey to challenge the opponent.
The next two stops went smoothly, as Catfish Head and Ah Xiong were there.
He did not use Shi Li's cards such as [Nameless Sword Spirit], [Breaking Sword], and [Origin of Violence].
Overall, the two games were played back and forth, and there were even some close calls.
But at least we won.
In this way, his score rose smoothly to 40 points, which opened up a considerable gap with the players behind him.
In the end, Shi Li did not return to the card show hall, but asked Lan Pi to give him a ride home.
He had just come out of a dungeon and had played four consecutive card games, so he was quite tired.
But after washing up and lying down on the bed, I couldn't fall asleep.
After thinking about it, I decided to open the card making panel.
The issue of [Fighting Monkey] has been lingering in my mind.
The counterattack passive of this card is undoubtedly very good.
If I have to say, it can be called the best among B-grade cards.
But for cards, you can't judge their strength just by looking at the panel.
The truth can only be tested at the poker table and after enough practice.
Now it has been proven through actual combat that this card has obvious flaws.
The first obvious disadvantage is that the passive [Penetration] is easy to get out of control and lacks initiative.
In the previous card game with Ah Xiong and in the previous card game with Wang Defa, they both used this point to reveal the trump cards in advance.
Honestly speaking, when the opponent's cards are relatively complete, especially when there are guard cards, it is very disadvantageous for Shi Li if the enemy reveals the trump card in advance.
Because it is equivalent to adding one more card to the battle, forming a 7 vs. 6 situation.
In addition, although this [Penetrating] is relatively cheap compared to other [Penetrating], it does not require energy and is a permanent passive.
The problem is, its output is also cheap.
There are often damages of the order of 0.25, and even when the counterattack penetrates the [defense] target, there are even three decimal places like 0.125.
The emergence of numbers of this magnitude raises a big, important question.
It made his eyes dizzy and his head hurt.
Especially card counting, it's so annoying.
So Shi Li decided to make good use of the card [Fighting Monkey].
The core mechanism of counterattack should be retained, but [penetration] needs to be revised.
If it doesn't work, just abandon it. Anyway, so far, I haven't seen how much obvious damage this automatic [Pierce] can cause.
But how to do it specifically?
Looking at the full but unsatisfactory preview results on the card-making panel, he was a little at a loss as to where to start.
So he simply didn't take a rest and got up and ordered a takeaway, which was delivered to the entrance of the association.
Then he took a taxi and headed to the association.
Because I had made an appointment, the takeaway was delivered just in time when I arrived at the association.
So after casually eating a few bites of food, Shi Li came to the library again.
When you have an obsession in your heart, you will be particularly focused and tireless.
Shi Li stood in front of the bookshelf for two hours.
Fortunately, the association’s library is open 24 hours a day, so there is no time concern.
Two hours later, he walked to the beverage machine outside the lobby and bought a bottle of Raccoon brand Niu Niu, then found a place to sit down and rest.
There are a lot of books in the library, and there are intelligent robots to help with searching.
But Shi Li still didn't find the answer he wanted.
First, let’s take a look at the card [Fighting Monkey].
【Fighting Monkey】
Balanced, 30 points, B
Attack 15, 100/100
[Penetration - Passive]: Fighting Monkey's attack power -15, direct attack with half the attack power [Penetration]
[Defense Master - Passive]: Fighting Monkey cannot [Defend], but when directly attacked, the damage is -10
[Monkey Fist Counterattack - Passive]: When the Fighting Monkey is attacked directly, it will immediately launch a 50% direct attack on the target.
(【Penetrate】: When attacking a target, cause equal damage to 1 adjacent target behind it)
His idea was to find a skill that was compatible and fit well enough to replace [Penetration].
But I couldn't get a satisfactory result from my own preview, so I wanted to see if there was any information on card shuffling related to the term [throughout].
In particular, see if there are any terms that are more suitable for [Permeate], which can transform it from [Permeate] into another effect or something.
If there is such an entry, perhaps you can first shuffle the cards to get such a material card, and then use this material card to shuffle with [Fighting Monkey].
As a result, after flipping through the information for a long time under the guidance of the intelligent robot, I found that most of the information was about how to strengthen the term "throughout".
Occasionally there are a few articles about [throughout] substitution, but they are superficial and fail to hit the point that I want.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Just as Shi Li closed his eyes with a look of distress, a voice sounded in front of him.
He opened his eyes and saw Gong Ping whom he hadn't seen for a long time: "Boss Cai?"
"Why, are you here to scout for newbies too?"
Gong Ping looked surprised to discover a colleague.
He had been staying here for so long, but this was the first time he met a colleague. What’s more, he actually knew this person.
It’s just…what’s its name?
"Uh, of course not."
However, Shi Li immediately denied it.
"Then what are you doing here?"
Gong Ping expressed doubts.
"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Shi Li waved his hand.
"How can I understand if you don't tell me?"
Gong Ping is not very sensible.
Hearing this, Shi Li couldn't help but look the other person up and down.
I'm free anyway, so why not... share it with you?
What's more, this matter of mine is not a secret.
When people can't think of a solution, they might as well borrow another brain to help them think about it. Maybe there will be a turning point.
He looked at the other person again.
Oh, no, maybe I can only borrow half a brain.
"Your eyes are weird, are you scolding me?"
"No, no, you're overthinking it."
So Shi Li told Gong Ping roughly what had happened.
"oh."
However, Gong Ping seemed to have no interest in this and turned away after listening.
As a result, more than ten minutes later, this guy actually reappeared in front of Shi Li with a book in his hand.
"Take a look at this, maybe it can help you."
After saying that, the other party threw the book into Shi Li's arms.
"?,What's the meaning."
Shi Li took the book and expressed his confusion.
"When I usually come here to squat, I occasionally like to go to the library and browse around."
"Don't look at me like this. I have a photographic memory. It's natural."
Gong Ping pointed to his head.
"So you're so bad at playing cards? Is it a natural talent?"
Shi Li expressed doubts.
Logically speaking, if one has a photographic memory, he wouldn't be so bad at playing cards.
"Hey, you can scold me, but you can't insult me."
Gong flat face.
"...But scolding you means insulting you, right?"
Shi Li complained.
And what does "Don't look at me like this" mean? Didn't you say that yourself?
You are allowed to insult yourself but not others?
What's the reason for this?
"Anyway, take a look at it. Remember to return it to me after you finish reading it."
Gong Ping waved his hand and walked away quickly.
Because he has found the target, there are new people registering today!
A strange guy whose half body is machine and half body is red and blue demon. He looks easy to bully!
