Chapter 168: Can You Stop Pretending to be Dead?
Just like before, the Fire Phoenix finally stood at the end of Director Feng's card table.
It turned into a balance made of flames, appearing and disappearing.
Indeed, Shi Li thought that he had taken it for granted.
When playing against such experienced players, a key important point is overlooked.
In a game of poker, there is a variable factor that can change in each round.
That is the scene card.
In the previous confrontations with Director Xiu and the old director, they might have allowed themselves to slightly change the scene cards less frequently.
But now think about it, the opponent even took out the 4A deck.
Then isn't it normal to change the scene cards?
Let’s take a look at the card that Director Feng is holding in his hand.
【Phoenix Scale】
Scene B
[Phoenix Power Body Protection]: When the health limit of your own Balanced Card is greater than 100, the attack damage received is -5
[Phoenix Light Harmony]: Each round, you can choose one of your own Balanced Reveal cards to [Absorb] another one of your own Balanced Reveal card for 30 points. During this period, both sides' attack power will be -5
[Phoenix Soul Temporarily Returns]: When the first card is revealed in this round, [Resurrect] the Balance Card with the lowest score on your side for 2 rounds
(【Resurrection】: The card reappears at E level and cannot act)
At this time, outside the blue light barrier, the card players in this city all exclaimed when they saw the cards.
"Fuck! Even resurrection has come out! What a scoundrel!"
"And if I remember correctly, the only card that the opponent retired was [Big Slime], which is a balanced retirement card. It has both the highest score and the lowest score!"
"Not only that, his trump card can also absorb the blood of the resurrection card!"
"If I were Coach Shi, I'd be numb right now."
"Indeed, you were sure to win, but then someone intervened. You would be the same if it were you."
"Alas, but there should still be a fight now, let's continue watching."
【Bobobobo~】
As the [Phoenix Scale] was unveiled, a blue light like a backflow gradually condensed on the card table.
Its location is the place previously occupied by [Boss Slime].
【Bobobobo~】
When the blue light recovered, the figure of [Big Slime] appeared on the table again.
【Boss Slime】
160/160, 2 rounds
When he saw this card, Shi Li lost his appetite at all.
If you don't count its previous passive ability and it only resurrects 100 health points, you can still consider dealing with it.
But now it has 160 HP, and the cost to deal with it is a bit high.
If you don't use the [Two-Combo Technique], you won't be able to kill it in one round.
If it takes 2 rounds, why bother to output it? Just wait for it to dissipate on its own.
As for using the [Two-Link Technique]...
The maximum output in one round is 100+40+10+5=155 points, and there are still 5 points left to kill the enemy.
"This is such a coincidence, damn it."
Shi Li calculated carefully and found that even if the output was fully increased, this card still could not be killed within one round.
To put it bluntly, this resurrection card is the ace's meat shield and health pack.
So he quickly accepted the status quo and knew that his way of thinking needed to change.
Because if you still rashly rush towards the opponent's trump card, the end result will definitely be your failure.
You must know that no matter what, [Big Slime] will definitely exist for 2 rounds.
This round, [Nameless Sword Spirit] cannot hit [Chief Slime], and then it will gain 30 points of [Intake] + 30 points of [Healing].
(What should I do?)
Shi Li looked at the cards and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, his computing power is stronger than Director Feng's.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s close to a super brain, or because it faces less mental resistance, but it’s innate.
So after a while, he made a decision and completed his behavioral choice.
Director Feng, who was sitting across the card table, looked at all this with a hint of approval.
Coach Shi really has the potential to be a great general at the poker table.
Apart from cursing himself for cheating when he saw [Feng Cheng], he didn't seem to be affected by any negative impact.
Haven't given up the game yet, still trying to make it work.
Thinking about this, he also completed the confirmation of his behavior.
A new phase of action is coming soon.
This is Director Feng.
A green light floated out from [Chief Slime] and connected to the head of [Boss Slime], causing it to lose 30 health points.
Afterwards, [Chief Slime] attacked [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], causing 40 points of damage.
[Slime Crusher] attacks [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], causing 25 damage.
[Infiltrating Slime] attacks [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], causing 5 damage.
[Chief Slime] gains 30 points of [ Ingestion ].
[Light Slime] releases 30 points of [Healing] to [Chief Slime].
Shi Li is here.
[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] uses [Double Combo] on [Reckless Slime], making it [stunned] and unable to attack, and it is instantly killed.
[Source of Violence] attacked [Slime Crusher] and transformed it into [Violent Puppet].
The original [Violent Puppet] attacked [Chief Slime], causing 5 damage.
[Nameless Sword Spirit] Just chop randomly for fun.
At the end of the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Phoenix Scale】
300 points, 0 cards remaining
【Cover】【Patriarch 177.5】【Cover】
[Light 50][Puppet][Vacant Position]
【Infiltration】3/3【Vacant】【Vacant】
[Puppet][Boss 130][Vacant Seat]
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
[Violence 80] [Vacant Position] [Sheep Rabbit 30] 2/3
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
255 points, 1 (?) card left + 45 points
[Big Fish Storm] ([Center of Tranquility] 3/4, [Thrown Out] 2/3)
The situation became more tense, and players outside the blue light barrier had already begun calculating the direction of the next game.
But there were no super brains present.
There are mechanical people, but they all have normal brains and their intelligence is the same as that of ordinary humans. They are not supercomputers.
So before they could figure out the cards for the next round, the two players at the table had already completed their operations and let the game continue.
A new phase of action is coming soon.
This is Director Feng.
[Infiltrating Slime] attacks [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], causing 5 damage.
[Chief Slime] attacks [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], causing 50 points of damage, and the excess overflow takes it away.
[Chief Slime] gains 30 points of [Ingestion].
[Light Slime] releases 30 points of [Healing] to [Chief Slime].
[Boss Slime] The round count is up and he is out.
Shi Li is here.
[Big Fish Storm] activates [Thrown Out], causing 20 points of damage to [Infiltrating Slime].
[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] attacks [Slime Crusher], causing 45 damage.
[Source of Violence] attacked [Shattered Slime], causing 35 points of damage, just in time to take it away and transform it into [Violence Puppet].
Two [Violent Puppets] attack [Chief Slime], causing 10 points of damage.
[Nameless Sword Spirit] Just chop randomly for fun.
Shi Li held the [Silence] on the scene card, but it was useless, just in case.
After the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Phoenix Scale】
300 points, 0 cards remaining
【Cover】【Patriarch 227.5】【Cover】
[Light 40][Puppet][Puppet]
【Puppet】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
【Puppet】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
【Violent】【Vacant】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
255 points, 1 (?) card left + 45 points
[Big Fish Storm] ([Center of Tranquility] 4/4, [Thrown Out] 0/3)
It is worth noting that due to the withdrawal of the Slime card, the card face of [Chief Slime] has changed again.
[Chief Slime]
Balanced, 40 points, A
Attack 20+45, 247.5/250
"?"
Shi Li took a look and felt that something was wrong!
There is clearly still a slime card, why has the opponent's ace been warmed up?
"The [Resurrected] [Boss Slime] can give [Chief Slime] another exit bonus."
Director Feng saw his confusion and explained with a smile.
"Oh, I see."
Shi Li nodded and grabbed the edge of the table with both hands.
"?"
This time it was Director Feng's turn to not understand this action and to question it.
"Nothing, I just wanted to flip the table."
Shi Li said lightly.
This is too shameless.
What about this card BUG?
The same card can be counted twice if it is resurrected and then retired!
If there is a resurrection card, then it can be resurrected all the time to stack data for [Chief Slime]?
But the facts were right in front of him and he had no choice but to accept them.
A new round is coming.
This is Director Feng.
[Light Slime] performs [Defense].
[Chief Slime] attacks the [ Violent , and the excess damage takes it away.
Shi Li is here.
[Big Fish Storm] silenced [Light Slime].
[Nameless Sword Spirit] attacks [Light Slime] and inflicts [Healing Ban] on it.
Prevents it from gaining health through passive attacks.
1 [Grim Puppet] attacks [Light Slime], dealing 2.5 points
[Source of Violence] attacks [Light Slime], causing 17.5 points of damage.
The remaining 3 [Violent Puppets] attack [Chief Slime], causing 15 points of damage.
Since no kill occurred, [Source of Violence] lost 30 points of blood.
After the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Phoenix Scale】
300 points, 0 cards remaining
【Cover】【Patriarch 232.5】【Cover】
【Light 20】【Puppet】【Puppet】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
【Puppet】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
【Rage 70】【Vacant】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
255 points, 1 (?) card left + 45 points
[Big Fish Storm] ([Center of Tranquility] 0/4, [Thrown Out] 1/3)
After this round, the cards are getting closer and closer to the end, and the situation is getting more and more tense.
It's obviously getting easier and easier to calculate, but the audience outside the blue light barrier has forgotten that they can count the cards.
Some people even almost forgot to breathe, their eyes rolled wide open for fear of missing something.
A new round is coming.
This is Director Feng.
[Light Slime] attacks the [Violent Puppet] in the middle, dealing exactly 30 points of damage and taking it away.
[Chief Slime] attacks the [Violent Puppet] on the left, and the excess damage takes it away.
Shi Li is here.
[Nameless Sword Spirit] attacks [Light Slime] and inflicts [Healing Ban] on it.
[Source of Violence] attacks [Light Slime], causing 35 damage and converting it into a puppet.
The remaining 3 [Violent Puppets] attack [Chief Slime], causing 15 points of damage.
[Chief Slime] gains the bonus of attack +5 and health +10 again due to the departure of [Light Slime].
After the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
Scene Card: [Phoenix Scale]
【Cover】【Patriarch 227.5】【Cover】
【Puppet】【Puppet】【Puppet】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】

【Violence 90】【Vacant】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
Scene Card: [Big Fish Storm] ([Center of Tranquility] 1/4, [Thrown Away] 2/3)
When the game develops to this point, there is no need to look at the specific distribution of cards on the table.
Next round 1:
[Chief Slime] killed 1 [Violent Puppet].
[Big Fish Storm] causes 20 points of damage to [Chief Slime].
[Source of Violence] + 3 [Violence Puppets] cause 50 points of damage.
[Nameless Sword Spirit] cannot cause damage and can only use [Healing Ban].
[Source of Violence] Lose 30 points of health.
[Chief Slime] has 157.5 health points remaining.
Round 2:
[Chief Slime] killed [Source of Violence].
[Source of Violence] + 2 [Violence Puppets] attack [Chief Slime], causing 45 points of damage.
[Chief Slime] has 112.5 health points remaining.
Round 3:
[Chief Slime] killed 1 [Violent Puppet].
2 [Violent Puppets] attack [Chief Slime], causing 10 damage.
[Chief Slime] has 102.5 health points remaining.
Round 4:
[Chief Slime] performed [Defense].
【Big Fish Storm】 causes 10 points of damage to it.
[Violent Puppet] causes 2.5 points of damage to it.
[Chief Slime] 90 health points remaining.
Round 6:
[Chief Slime] killed the last [Violent Puppet].
[Violent Puppet] counterattacked, causing 5 damage to it.
[Chief Slime] 85 health points remaining.
"We're going to win!"
At this point, the city's void commentator couldn't help but raise his voice.
"The next operation is very simple. Coach Shi just needs to let [Nameless Sword Spirit] use [Defense] to delay the number of rounds!"
"Because the [Chief Slime] has 70 attack points, it will take three rounds to kill it."
"This way, we can trigger [Big Fish Storm] again and defeat the BOSS. Oh, sorry, I was too absorbed in it..."
"This way, we can knock down another 10 or 20 points of health from the [Chief Slime]."
"In the end, it's the [Chief Slime] with 65 or 75 HP + 70 Attack against the Ace with 200 HP + 45 Attack!"
"Even if the coach is using a blank slate, we will definitely win!"
"Because it only takes 2 turns for his trump card to kill the opponent, but it takes 3 turns for [Chief Slime] to kill his trump card!"
"You know, this doesn't even take into account whether the coach's trump card has the attributes of reducing damage from normal attacks or increasing the upper limit of health, as well as the subsequent output of [Big Fish Storm]!"
"It's stable! It's definitely stable!"
After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
Especially the players from this city, now even Xiao Hou has joined in, hoping that Shi Li can win.
Even a small group of poker players in Lanlan City are the same.
Some of them were jealous of the status of the Balanced Card Hall, while others hoped to see a game in which the weak defeated the strong.
This game of cards is already exciting enough. It would be even more perfect if the weak side defeats the strong side in the end!
But if Shi Li could hear these words outside the blue light barrier at this time, he would definitely beg the other party to shut up.
Stop planting flags for yourself.
Haven’t you learned the lesson from the appearance of [Feng Cheng] just now?
He just hoped that nothing more would happen at this point.
The subsequent development of the situation was indeed proceeding just as the Void commentator had analyzed.
Finally, when [Chief Slime] had 75 health points left, he killed [Nameless Sword Spirit].
Outside the blue light barrier, the city's card players looked at this scene with increasing excitement.
Most of the card players in Lanlan City had expressions of disappointment and disbelief on their faces.
No one spoke at this time, everyone was waiting for the final moment when the outcome of the game would be decided.
However, several card hall directors from Lanlan City present all showed meaningful smiles.
What's so great about Feng Acai?
His great talent as a card player, [Seven Phoenixes].
You can replace it with powerful scene cards at any time according to different needs.
However, if you have actually played more games with him, you will know that Feng Acai also has a scene card that is no less powerful than [Seven Phoenixes].
You should know that the seven scene cards granted by the talent [Seven Phoenixes] are all very powerful and have growth potential.
But as a price, if you want to upgrade the quality of these scene cards, not only is there a level threshold, but you also need to feed a large number of scene cards as fertilizer.
In view of this, Feng Acai basically does not keep other scene cards in his hand.
Once you get a new scene card, you will start feeding it.
Therefore, it can be kept in his deck and can be used as a main scene card.
It is absolutely the best of the best.
You have to know that he only has eight scene cards in total.
In addition to the seven cards of [Seven Phoenixes], there is also an A-level scene card!
Sure enough, during the unveiling phase of the new round, the game process got stuck.
"70 attack, it takes 3 rounds to hit 200 HP."
"45 attack, it only takes 2 rounds to hit 75 health."
"Young man, do you think so?"
I didn't expect that with only a few rounds left, Director Feng would still show off.
“…”
Shi Li raised his eyebrows, feeling that the situation was not good.
At this point, I’m afraid this guy is going to come back to life again!
Then Director Feng raised his hand and unveiled the scene card he had changed.
[Boom…]
A piece of barren land appeared out of nowhere on the card table, and the land was shaking as if it was about to crack.
Along with this shaking, a mountain slowly rose up from its place.
The camera of the virtual image quickly zoomed in and soon turned to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there is a throne emitting green light.
"This, this card!"
Outside the blue light barrier, people who had never seen this card exclaimed in surprise.
"This is……"
While Shi Li was looking at the cards, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Oh, I thought it was some amazing card.
So scary!
