I don’t know what Secretary He was thinking, but Shi Li was thinking that if he drank the time-travel potion again, would it count as an extra time-travel.
By then, I can awaken the second card player talent?
I have this idea, but I dare not try it for now.
What if I explode and die?
You have to consult and check before you get a definite answer.
After having lunch with Secretary He, he went out for a walk by himself.
After all, today is the last night of the exchange meeting, and after it ends tomorrow morning, they will fly back.
And so, time came to evening.
The coaches from Show Card Hall and No. 2 Card Hall gathered together again.
After these few days of exchanges, both sides had winners and losers.
Except for the first two days where the score was 3:2 in the show card hall, the game was more evenly matched afterwards.
In general, judging by the number of games, Hall No. 2 won more.
The card skills of both sides are actually similar, but the strength of the coach's deck in Card Hall No. 2 is slightly higher.
The only one who maintained an undefeated record was Shi Li.
Yes, he completed Secretary He's request.
The last match of the night is still between Shi Li and Yan Jingliang.
This time, Shi Li did not win by a crushing margin, but achieved a narrow victory with much difficulty.
However, he had exceeded his task, because not only did he not take out the Kung Fu deck, he didn't even take out the sword deck.
He didn't take out any specific deck of cards these days, but relied on a scattered card playing style.
Among the various scattered cards, there are summoning cards and frogman cards.
The strength of his summoning cards is not low. As long as they are not targeted or are less targeted in the early stage, it is easier to produce results.
The Frogman deck is of average strength, but it has some small linkages.
"How do you say it?"
After finishing the last game and reviewing it, Shi Li came to Secretary He.
He originally thought that if he completed the task, the other party would give him some reward.
However, unexpectedly, Secretary He only rewarded him with a smile.
"Boss N, Coach Shi wants to ask you for advice!"
Then, he shouted to Boss N who was sitting opposite him .
"Um?"
Shi Li was stunned on the spot.
No, after all this time, this is the reward I was expecting?
Playing cards with experts?
"Of course no problem, hehe."
Boss N has been instigated by Secretary He these days, but in fact he has been tempted for a long time.
I heard from Yan Jingliang that Shi Li once used an A-level card in the club.
However, at the exchange meeting, the other party never played an A-level card.
What does this mean? It means that the deck is being hidden intentionally.
Combined with Secretary He's behavior in the past few days, he had actually guessed that the other party was looking for an opportunity to exchange ideas.
Based on Shi Li's performance in the past few days, Boss N really wants to have a fight with this rising star from the Balanced Zone.
However, as the host and senior, it is not convenient for me to take the initiative to speak in such an occasion.
I originally wanted to play two games with Shi Li in private after the party was over.
I didn't expect Secretary He to be so anxious and give me this opportunity now.
"Coach Shi just played a game. Let's take a break first and then we can start again."
So Boss N waved his hand and generously gave Shi Li some time to prepare.
"You asked me to hide the deck, is this why?"
Shi Li was not actually tired. He moved closer to Secretary He and asked in a low voice.
I feel that Boss N is at least at the same level as Director Feng. He suddenly asked me to play cards with him, and I really have no idea what he is doing.
"Well, it's to preserve our strength and also to arouse his curiosity."
Secretary He didn't move his mouth, but he squeezed out words: "I have a copy of Boss N's deck information here."
"Take it and have a look, so you can prepare in advance."
As he spoke, he pushed a stack of paper documents in front of Shi Li.
"No, the other party doesn't know my deck anyway."
"It would be meaningless if we knew the opponent's deck in advance."
Shi Li shook his head and didn't touch the information.
It's just an exchange meeting anyway, he really doesn't care about winning or losing.
It’s not about some rigid pursuit of fairness.
The main reason is that the opportunity to play with such a master is rare, especially when it is the first game when both players are unfamiliar with each other.
It would be really not fun if you didn't prepare in advance.
"All right."
Secretary He curled his lips but didn't force it.
"Oh my god, the final game is between Boss N and Coach Shi."
"Don't tell me, I really want to see it."
"Uh, you don't think Boss N can lose to Coach Shi, do you?"
"You don't understand this. Let's not talk about other things for now. Isn't it a rare learning opportunity to watch Boss N play cards?"
"That's right. You have to know that this is an exchange meeting. There will be a review after the game."
"Anyway, I'm not going to even blink an eye."
"Nonsense, you are from the eyelidless tribe, so of course you don't need to blink."
The coaches who had originally thought about going to the party for the final revelry now gave up the idea and shifted all their enthusiasm to the upcoming card game.
Ten minutes later, Boss N stood up first.
Judging from his posture, he should be walking towards the card table in the middle.
Seeing this situation, Secretary He, who had been waiting for a long time or had been planning for a long time, finally spoke.
Secretary He: "Boss N, when someone younger challenges you, shouldn't you give them something to encourage them?"
Boss N: "Hahahaha, Secretary He, look at what you said. Of course, I'm not targeting Coach Shi, but if you really say that, do I need to prepare a gift for every junior who plays cards with me?"
Secretary He: "How about this, if Xiao Shi wins, you give it to him."
Boss N: "Oh? What do you want?"
Secretary He: "I heard that your brand house has a channel to obtain [The Way of Wisdom]..."
Boss N: "Good fellow, I finally understand. He Wenmi, you came here for this from the beginning."
“You can’t say that, ahahaha…”
The other party's last words made Secretary He laugh awkwardly.
That's right, that's what he came for.
"Okay, if Coach Shi can really beat me, I'll consider it an investment in him, so what."
Unexpectedly, Boss N was also very generous and agreed with just a wave of his hand.
"But coach, if this happens, the nature of this game will change."
Then, he looked at Shi Li again.
Originally, he didn't intend to try too hard, he just wanted to give guidance to the younger generation.
But now, this involves a valuable item like [The Way of Wisdom], and...
"And as a symbol, shouldn't you guys also do something?"
Boss N looked at Secretary He again.
Secretary He: "For us, we will provide 5 tubes of time travel potion."
Boss N: “Hmm?”
The 5 tubes of time-travel potion are intended to be compared with the [Way of Wisdom], which is somewhat unequal.
"You said it yourself, it's just symbolic."
"And when people are young, they are the younger generation."
"Besides, do you really think you can't win?"
Secretary He was pushing the other party forward with every word he said.
"Haha, okay."
Boss N gave Secretary He a look that said, "I'll remember you."
He finally understood why the other party proposed the card game on this occasion.
Isn't it just that there are enough witnesses and it's difficult for me to refuse?
Could it be that Director Feng was killed by them in this way?
But then again, it didn't really matter to him.
As I mentioned just now, even if I lose, so what? It’s like investing in a potential rising star.
Just as Secretary He mentioned just now, will I lose?
How is that possible!
“…”
After listening to the conversation between the two, Shi Li was unable to get a word in.
But it sounds like things are being finalized in his favor.
"Hey, where are those documents you just showed me? Is it too late to show them to me now?"
He looked at Secretary He.
No matter what is interesting or not , I have to win!
That is the [Way of Wisdom]!
"It's too late. There's no time. It's too late."
Secretary He rolled his eyes and uttered three sentences in a row.
"Go on stage, hurry up."
After saying that, he pushed Shili's back.
"Fuck you, grass."
Shi Li used the third tone and imitated the tone of a straw man.
Buzz!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood in front of the card table, Boss N put up a barrier.
"Since there's a gamble involved, it's better to be more formal."
Boss N said this.
"Actually, this was all Secretary He's idea. I don't mind if a few bottles of time-travel potion are given directly to Boss N."
Shi Li seemed to be giving in.
"Oh? You are quite sensible, kid."
"Of course, I also hope that Boss N will give me the [Way of Wisdom] without a care in the world."
“…”
This turn left Boss N speechless.
"Hahahaha! I didn't realize before that you are quite a joker!"
Then he laughed out loud and slapped the card table: "If you want it, come and get it with your real ability."
Buzz...
Under his arrangement, the card table began to change.
From the previous 6+1, it has become 9+1.
9+1 is definitely the most formal game.
This specification is used in all major competitions.
"Then I'll give it a try."
Shi Li didn't say much and started to lay out the cards.
It’s time to show off the deck of cards that I have hidden in Kuang Kuang City for so long.
Since he had been prepared in advance, Shi Li arranged the cards very quickly.
Boss N wasn't slow either, and it didn't take much time for either side.
"As the host, let me be the first to unveil the cards this round."
The game started, and Boss N took the lead: "Let me show you what a real mechanical deck is."
According to his observations over the past few days, Shi Li should not have any cards that can defeat the machine.
And even if there is, so what.
Do you know what intensity suppression is?
As soon as he finished speaking, he uncovered the top row of cards in his middle column.
[Protecting...is the first...mission! ]
On the card, I saw a huge body projection slowly rising from the card.
This is a rusty, slightly old-fashioned humanoid robot.
It has a distinct torso and arms, but its head is hemispherical.
Its movements are slow but have a strong sense of power.
When it rose to the middle of the body, it stopped, revealing only the upper body.
However, Shi Li could see that even if only half of its body was shown, the height of this big guy was much taller than the projection of an ordinary card. If its full body appeared, it would seem too out of place.
And now it has slightly encroached upon the two spaces on the left and right.
If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for a giant card.
【Guardian of Titans】
Determined, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 30/30, 0/4
[Multi-Shield - Passive]: Guardian Titan's HP -70, but gains 3 layers of [Titan Shield]
[Overcharge - Passive]: The damage received by Guardian Titan in a single attack does not exceed 20 points, and 3 layers of [Titan Shield] are refreshed every round.
[Shield Reorganization - 1 Energy]: Guardian Titan performs [Defense] and adds 1 layer of [Titan Shield]
[Overload Burst - All Titan Shield Layers]: Guardian Titan settles the score. For every layer of [Titan Shield] you have in this round, your attacks in the next round will carry an additional 10 points of [True Damage]
([Titan Shield]: Offsets 10 points of damage. This shield can be self-superimposed and does not accept external [Shield] blessings)
(【True Damage】: cannot be offset or reduced by any defensive means)
(Note: Thanks to the designer [Zhifei Meng], this card has been balanced)
"What the hell is this card..."
After looking through the cards, Shi Li was a little dumbfounded.
This is a card with an exclusive buff.
It was also the first time he saw a card with this kind of mechanism.
It is actually possible to deal damage by consuming shields.
To put it simply, this guy can refresh 3 layers of 10 points of [Titan Shield] every round.
If you use skills, you can continue to stack 1 layer of 10 points of [Titan Shield].
Assuming that you ignore it when its energy is fully charged, then after giving it 4 rounds, the number of shield layers of this guy will become 3+4=70 points.
Then, in the next round, it will be able to give you a terrifying burst of 30 normal damage + 70 true damage.
I believe that no opponent would want to see this situation.
Of course, this is just an ideal state.
But even in normal conditions, letting it deal 30 normal damage + 30 true damage is quite a lot of damage.
Therefore, if you want to stop its outbreak, you need to keep outputting to it.
But the key point is that although this guy has very little health, he is surprisingly tough.
Because the damage it receives each time will not exceed 20 points, that is to say, at least 20+10 output combination is required to reduce its 30-point shield value in this round.
And the more you hit it, the more energy it has, and you can continue to use [Shield Reorganization].
If the opponent uses the skill [Defense], then add another 10 points of shield, which means at least three attacks of 40+20+20 will be needed.
You have to know that this only destroyed the [Titan Shield].
If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to kill it directly, you will need to make at least two more attacks of 40+20.
It seems that the output required is much less than that of ordinary cards, but the conditions are too harsh and require many cards to participate.
It is particularly strong against single-shot burst cards like [Mantidote].
It can only be easily dealt with if it is dealt with in a relatively "gentle" way.
"Why is it so difficult to calculate the kill line for this card?"
As Shi Li kept calculating, he felt a little overwhelmed.
To sum it up simply, this card is annoying and hard to kill.
It is a threat of both survival and output, which is hard to wrap your head around, but it is also very powerful.
Outside the blue light barrier, the coaches of the show card hall were naturally exclaiming in surprise because of this card.
The coaches in Card Hall No. 2 all had proud expressions on their faces.
"It appears. The boss's strongest card of determination."
"That's right, no control is better than control."
"In fact, its [Overload Burst] is not scary at all, because the shield value will be eliminated during the skill settlement round, and it cannot offset the damage."
"If we focus fire on it at this time, we only need two normal attacks of 20+10 to kill it."
"But the key is that the boss doesn't know how to use the skill [Overload Burst] at all."
"Because it's just a threat: if you don't keep attacking me, I can deal a lot of damage to you when I burst out."
"Yes, the real meaning of this card is to continuously absorb damage from at least two cards of the opponent."
After hearing their analysis, the coaches at the show card hall gradually understood.
Now that you mention it, it’s true.
Shi Li could see the hidden conspiracy and murderous intention in [Guardian of the Titans] at a glance.
And with the system brought about by this card, he can also predict what the next two cards of the opponent will be.
It is definitely a strong output card.
Because in this system, most of the enemy's early output will definitely be absorbed by [Guardian Titan], so there is no need to put up defensive cards for the remaining two first-row cards, and you can focus on putting up output cards.
Then, Boss N uncovered the cards in the first row on his left side.
[Interference with radio waves, ready! ]
Along with a voice in a mechanical tone, a square robot with wheels emerged from the light column on the card.
"Forehead……"
Shi Li discovered that he seemed to have underestimated the opponent's tactical preparation.
This card is a bit...
【Brain Wave Interference L】
Wisdom, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 2/2
[Brand New Metal Shell - Passive]: Brainwave interference L's turn to unveil the card , damage -10 when attacked
[Residual Wave Collection - Passive]: When a mechanical card is retired, Brainwave Interference L gains 1 energy
[Excessive Electromagnetic Wave Overflow - Passive]: When Brainwave Interference L releases a skill, you can select an additional target
[Brainwave Interference - 1 Energy]: Brainwave Interference L interferes with 1 target, causing it to [Taunt] for 1 round
(【Taunt】: Forces the opponent to use direct attacks to attack you)
After browsing this card, he felt that the opponent was really difficult to deal with.
I originally thought that the opponent's [Guardian Titan] was just a threat, used to attract firepower.
The opponent will play two output cards because of the existence of [Guardian Titan].
Now, the opponent has put up a control card.
So what does this mean? It means that we want to let [Guardian Titan] deal damage!
Boss N seemed to have reserved time on purpose, and waited until Shi Li finished browsing [Brain Wave Interference No. L] before revealing his last covered card.
[Bobo is here, Bobo will take care of you~]
Judging from the voice, the style of this card seems to be a little different from the previous two.
But when his true face was revealed, Shi Li almost couldn't help laughing.
Pieces of metal casing and electronic circuits are pieced together to form a lump-like shape, with a long antenna on the top.
Isn't this what Slime dreams of becoming, a mechanical slime?
And this is actually the other person's name.
【Mechanical Slime】
Wisdom, 20 points, A
Attack 20, 100/100, 4/4
[Quantum Shield - Passive]: When the Mechanical Slime is revealed, add the [Coating] effect to the cards in the row for 1 round
[Tool No. 1 - 1 Energy]: Mechanical Slime Operating Tool, grants 20 [First Aid] to 1 target
[Tool No. 2 - 1 Energy]: Mechanical Slime Operating Tool, grants 30 [Healing] to 1 target
[Tool No. 3 - 1 Energy]: Mechanical Slime Operating Tool, grants [Quick Purification] to 1 target
(【Coating】: Immune to all debuffs)
