Slime and Aqing were in a hurry to go shopping at the next mall, so they left after handing over to Shi Li.
Shi Li sat in the store, savoring the new scene card [Wulin] carefully.
To be honest, it was a bit unexpected.
In horizontal comparison, this card is better than the previous [Demon Attack Barrier].
[Mist Moisturizing]: Each round, specify 3 slots on your side, and when the monster card on that slot attacks 2 times or more during the round, gain 5 points of [Healing]
[Blood circulation]: Each round, designate 3 slots on your side, and when the Kung Fu card on that slot attacks twice within the round, gain 5 points of [Healing]
These two terms seem very similar, but in fact they are very different.
One is "2 times or more" and the other is " 2 times".
"It's not convenient to perform here, let's go to another place."
Shi Li thought about it, left the store and walked to the small park across the street.
He found a stone bench to sit on and put out his card table.
Buzz...
The card table constructed with blue light suddenly appeared in front of him.
Next, he will conduct a simulated card game.
However, this simulated card game is not the kind that can be imitated in a card hall using an electronic system and using other people's cards.
Instead, use the deck in your hand to play a card game that simulates the situation.
The main purpose is to allow players to test the card mechanism through practical operation.
Especially when some rare or idealized conditions are artificially set up, the mechanisms presented by the cards are revealed.
"Sure enough, it's just as I thought."
After the test, Shi Li got the answer.
The previous [Demon Attack Barrier] was estimated to allow 5 points of [Healing] as long as the attack reached 2 times or more within 1 round.
However, for this [Wulin] card, if you attack 2 times in 1 round, you will get 5 points of [Healing], and if you attack 4 times, you will get 10 points of [Healing].
It can be stacked infinitely!
"It's just a few words missing, but the effect has been greatly improved. It's quite refreshing."
Touching his chin, he happily put away the card table.
However, at present, among his cards, only [Wu Monkey] has the possibility of being triggered continuously within 1 round.
That means being attacked by 4 cards and making 4 counterattacks.
Or you may be attacked by the opponent's card four times, and then launch four counterattacks.
"But even if I only received one [treatment], it's already amazing."
"Five points of health are sometimes enough to affect the outcome of a battle."
"Besides, a little bit adds up to a lot. If I trigger a few more rounds, it means I get a few dozen more points of healing than others."
"If I have the chance in the future, I must collect some Kung Fu cards that can perform multiple attacks with normal attacks, so that I can better trigger the recovery effect. "
"And after this scene card lays the foundation for the Kung Fu card special effects, it will be easier to obtain Kung Fu card special effects when you upgrade in the future."
Thinking of this, he directly took out [Night Parade of Hundred Demons].
It's just a preview, it won't hurt anything.
[Wulin] + [One Hundred Demons Night Parade] = [One Hundred Demons Forest]
【Hundred Demon Forest】
Scene, D
[Forest Feast - Passive]: Your monster card gains 5 points of [Healing] each round.
"Uh...do you have to be so ruthless?"
After watching this preview, Shi Li was speechless.
Apart from changing a few words, there is no change at all between this [Forest of a Hundred Demons] and [A Hundred Demons Parade at Night].
But at least from this result, it can be seen that these two scene cards have relatively high compatibility.
After all, if I didn't add a material card as an intermediate material, these scene cards I had would even explode and there would be no compatibility at all.
"Okay, that's all for today."
“The harvest has been fantastic.”
Standing up and patting his butt, Shi Li decided to go home.
After returning home, I had another good sleep.
As a result, when Shi Li woke up at noon the next day, he saw another missed call from Secretary He.
I opened the message and read the message.
It was Secretary He who asked him to go to the card hall.
"How come you act like you're at work every day?"
Rubbing his face, Shi Li got up from bed reluctantly.
He still slowly tidied himself up, then slowly went out and walked towards the card hall.
"It's noon now, and Mushroom and Mushroom are on the early shift."
"It's a good opportunity to stay in the card room for a while, and then I can go home with them."
After checking the time, Shi Li walked into the card hall.
But then I saw an unexpected figure at the front desk.
Who else could it be but Huichun, the girl with the conspicuous green hair?
"Do you want to buy a membership course, or do you want to find a job?"
Shi Li remembered that he seemed to have heard the other party say yesterday that he had just arrived in this city.
I didn't expect that this guy who said last night that we would meet again if we were destined to do so actually turned out to be so destined, just one day later.
At this time, Huichun was leaning on the front desk with his elbows, chatting happily with Mosaichou who was standing on a stool.
There was also a straw man, who sat behind the front desk, sipping milk tea and lifting weights, occasionally interjecting a few words.
It seems that these three guys get along well.
"You two guys are learning something else, but you're just slacking off."
Shi Li put on a serious face, acting like a leader.
"Here, he is the person you are looking for."
"That's him, damn!"
Mushroom and the straw man pointed at Shi Li almost at the same time.
"Looking for me?"
"Are you Shi Li?"
Obviously, both of them were stunned.
"I never expected that we would pass each other by like this last night!"
Huichun looked at Shi Li again, her tone somewhat distressed.
It was something that could have been resolved last night, but it was delayed for a whole day without my knowledge.
"You don't know me, why are you looking for me?"
Shi Li expressed doubts.
"Ahem, let me introduce myself again."
Huichun cleared her throat and said seriously, "I'm the trainee coach of the Pingheng Card Hall in Lanlan City, Huichun."
"He is also one of the players who will represent Lanlan City in this city competition."
I never expected that the other party actually had this identity.
"you……"
Shi Li then remembered that he had talked with the card players in Lanlan City the night before.
The Lanlan City trials were held a little earlier, and the first half of the official trials have been completed. It will only take half a month for the second half to officially select the list of representatives.
Taking advantage of the half-month break, Director Feng, as the leader, took a group of contestants to visit various places for exchanges and learning.
So in fact, Wang Defa’s opponent that day was not the second place in the Lanlan City Balance Card Hall, but the second place in the entire Lanlan City.
But even so, as a museum director, he really shouldn't lose.
Back to the topic, at that time Shi Li learned that the other contestants from Lanlan City had joined the group, but the first place winner did not come because of something.
That's why Wang Defa faced the second place.
Now that Huichun introduced himself like this, it is obvious that he is the first place.
"What do you want from me?"
In fact, Shi Li had already vaguely guessed the other party's purpose.
"I want to play cards with you!"
Sure enough, Huichun stated her purpose straight away.
He did have some things to do, so he did not join the group.
But the night before last, I heard a big news from a colleague who lives far away here.
Director Feng actually lost to a young contestant in the exhibition match.
Other colleagues may not understand it very well, but Huichun knows it very well. Given Director Feng's personality, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to organize any exhibition match.
Most likely they clash for some reason and in the end, they lose the game.
He also understood that Director Feng would generally not show mercy in such situations.
In other words, Director Feng gave his all but still lost to the opponent.
Such an opponent naturally made him very interested.
So I dropped what I was doing, bought a plane ticket overnight, and rushed over.
If I can defeat Shi Li, can I say in a disguised way that I am greater than Director Feng?
In this way, the position of the director of the Pingheng Card Hall will be just around the corner!
"I won't fight you."
Unexpectedly, Shi Li simply waved his hand and rejected the other party's invitation.
"ah?"
Such an answer made Huichun stunned: "Why?"
“Because I’m tired.”
The reason given by Shi Li was very simple.
The 9+1 poker game is really tiring.
No, to be more precise, it was the 9+1 card game with Director Feng that was really tiring.
Just as Director Feng mentioned in the review, Shi Li's card counting ability surpassed his and was beyond his expectations.
But for Shi Li himself, he felt extremely tired even after trying his best.
It seems that the situation will gradually improve only as the player's level increases.
In short, he thought that at least until he came out of the next dungeon, he would not play PVP again.
You have to slow down and let the brain solidify.
“You have to get a membership.”
At this time, Mushroom Saigu spoke up and gave advice to the other party: "Shi Li is the coach here. You become a member and buy his lessons, then he must play cards with you."
"I see."
After hearing this, Huichun slapped his palms.
“How do you members here do it?”
So he asked about the mushroom.
"The minimum starting point is one week, and the longer the time, the greater the discount."
"The price is..."
"A one-day experience card costs 1,200 cubic coins, a one-week experience card costs 1,000 cubic coins, a monthly card costs 800 cubic coins, and an annual card costs 8,000 cubic coins."
"..., the director of your card room is really a marketing genius, so please give me a one-month promotion."
Huichun said the pricing was outrageous.
Is the trial card an experience of membership, or an experience of being taken advantage of?
But it's still quite cost-effective. The monthly card for their card room costs nearly 2,000 cubic coins.
So he took out the cubic coins and the player ID card.
Without any unnecessary formalities, Mosaicuo jumped onto the computer desk at the front desk and completed the operation by skillfully typing a few keys.
Then he held Huichun's poker player ID card and tapped it against the instrument, and asked him to press his fingerprint, and all the procedures were completed.
"Okay, now I'm a member."
"You should be willing to play cards with me, Coach Shi."
Huichun emphasized the last three words “Coach Shi”.
“You have to book my class first.”
Shi Li pointed to the side, where there was a touch screen service machine for members to make class appointments.
"Forehead……"
Huichun suddenly felt as if she had been fooled: "You are just saying this now, right? Your class has already been scheduled for several months later."
"No, my class is not currently scheduled."
Shi Li spread his hands.
"That's good. That's good."
Upon hearing this, Huichun walked to the service machine. He was very familiar with this thing, as it was universal in all card halls.
"Um?"
After reading it carefully, he found a problem.
"Are you indeed the coach here?"
"certainly."
"Then why can't I find your name in the schedule?"
“Because I never go to work.”
"???"
Huichun paused for a few seconds before glaring at Mushroom and said, "You cunning mushroom man, are you lying to me?"
But at this time, Mushroom's attention was not on him, it was dividing the money.
"Hehehe, 620 goes to the card room, and the remaining 180 belongs to me."
It is the front desk. If customers become members here, of course they will get a commission.
"Okay, I won't play cards with you."
As Shi Li spoke, he walked to Mosaichu and slapped it on the head.
"Ouch, mushroom!"
Mosaichou fell directly from the front desk, and two cubic coins flew out of his hand.
Shi Li picked up the cubic coin and threw it back to Huichun.
Then he reached out and typed a few times on the computer keyboard.
The membership fee can be fully refunded before any consumption behavior such as booking a class occurs.
"If you don't play cards with me, I'll move into your house and stay there!"
Huichun took the money but still felt unconvinced.
Just now, while chatting with Mushroom + Straw Man, he already knew that they were Shi Li’s roommates.
And when they heard that he had just arrived, they invited him to stay at the villa.
"you?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Li looked at the other person for a few times and shook his head, saying, "You can't do it."
"Why?"
"Because you're human."
Shi Li said that this family is full of strange and foreign people.
"?"
Although Huichun didn't understand, she felt that the other party's attitude was very firm.
"How about this, we don't play PVP, but a PVE card game."
So he chose to take a step back.
I rushed here overnight just to PK with the other party.
If there is nothing gained, I will never be willing to go back like this.
"PVE card game duel?"
Just as Huichun felt Shi Li's determination, he also felt the other party's persistence.
"Alright... that's fine."
So, in the end he agreed.
PVE card game duel is much easier than PVP.
It's nothing more than each side playing a game of cards with monster cards, and then the winner is determined by their respective records.
This thing is available in the club.
Use your own deck to play the monster cards set in the simulation.
So, the two of them made an agreement.
See you at the club tonight.
After Huichun left, Shi Li started to wander around the card hall.
But people don't seem to be very interested in his so-called "inspection work".
They all raised their thumbs to show their welcome.
In this kind of atmosphere, Shi Li felt a little bored, so he went to lie down on the sofa in the director's office and took a nap.
I don’t know if Secretary He is busy or slacking off recently, but he is often not at work.
So the director's office is very quiet now, and Shi Li slept until dinner time.
After dinner in the canteen, he set off for the club.
Mushrooms and straw men, join the journey.
Because of the PVE game, Mushroom is interested.
Of course, Strawman has no interest in playing cards, but he would be bored if he went home alone.
When I arrived at the entrance of the club, I found Huichun was already waiting there.
With him were Feng Xiaohu and several players from the Lanlan City delegation that night.
They are all from the younger generation and appear to be about the same age.
The straw man was so attracted by the milk tea dispenser in the buffet restaurant that he could not move, while the others took the elevator directly to the top floor.
Shi Li asked the waiter to open a lounge to serve as a private room.
If he started doing it directly in the lobby, he was afraid that too many younger brothers would come to greet him.
I met several people just on the way to the lounge.
I asked the waiter to help and bring a simulated card table for the PVE game.
Originally, this kind of service was only available to higher-level members, and Shi Li’s previous membership level was not that high.
However, he brought honor to our city the night before last. I don’t know which museum director was so happy when he left the meeting that he helped him to upgrade his membership level.
"Tell me how you want to play."
Looking at the card table, Shi Li folded his arms.
He had not played much PVE simulation game in the club.
But I still understand the general rules.
PVE simulation games are mainly divided into two categories.
Wave battles, and boss battles.
Under these two categories, there are subdivisions such as racing games, survival games, skill games, etc.
A speed round refers to the total number of rounds required to complete the entire game.
Survival refers to how many rounds you can last at the table without being eliminated.
A skill game requires you to complete some designated tasks, such as the hostage game, which is a PVE skill game.
"What game are we playing?"
As a challenger, Huichun took the lead in asking Shi Li for his opinion.
"You choose."
Shi Li didn't really care.
"In that case, we should follow the rules of our Lanlan City?"
Huichun asked.
"What are the rules over there?"
Shi Li expressed confusion.
"The rule in our Lanlan City is to take turns to ban people."
At this time, Feng Xiaohu stepped forward to explain: "Speed ​​Round/Survival Round/Skill Round, each person takes turns to remove an option, and the final result is the competition item."
This rule reminded Shi Li of the battle with the goalkeeper when he first came to the club.
I remember that at that time, the entries were placed next to each other, which is somewhat similar now.
"This is your home court, you can ban one first."
Huichun made a gesture of invitation and showed an eager expression.
"What's the point of playing at home or not?"
Shi Li curled his lips and said, "Then let's ban the skill game."
The last hostage game experience was not very good, and he didn't like this kind of game.
The key is that it is troublesome and brain-consuming.
"Okay, then I'll ban the speed racing game."
Huichun was obviously well prepared.
As long as you don't BAN the survival game, your chances of winning are very high.
As for wave games and BOSS games, both sides default to wave + BOSS.
That is, monster cards will attack in waves, and a BOSS will appear after a certain number of waves.
"Since this is a wave game, let's set it to infinite waves until the deck is destroyed."
"Then see who survives more waves. The one with more will be the winner."
Judging from Huichun's expression, he seemed very confident.
Because survival games are exactly the type of game that I am best at.
"no problem."
Shi Li nodded.
