"You shouldn't be in front of me."
"I can't help but be impulsive when I see you."
At this time, Qingyu's eyes began to light up.
"I wanted to defeat you in a formal setting, but I regret it now."
"Because I don't know if I can draw you tomorrow."
"So, come play a round with me now."
She said so.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at what you said. What if someone misunderstands you?"
Shi Li shook his head.
If it were a straw man, it might start taking off its pants the moment the door closed, even though it doesn't wear pants.
"Don't worry, we can make a card table contract."
"The decks of both parties are not allowed to be revealed afterwards."
As he spoke, Qingyu waved his hand and placed a card table in the small space.
Her card table is the same as Wang Defa's, with skins on it.
A large number of white feathers support the blue light desktop, making it look very light.
Shi Li felt a little envious when seeing this. The feather card table looked much cooler than Lao Wang's vulgar golden card table.
I wonder when I’ll be able to get a set of card tables or card skins.
At the same time, the card table contract that had already been marked also floated in front of Shi Li under her push.
"I really can't do anything about you."
Shi Li looked at the contract and left his mark on it.
Buzz!
Then, a completely opaque blue light barrier enveloped the two of them.
"In this round, I will use my strongest deck."
"I hope the same from you."
Qingyu, who was well prepared, spread his palm on the table and completed the arrangement of the cards.
"OK."
Shi Li didn't say much and finished his work quickly.
"Do you know what constitutes a complete deck?"
When the unveiling stage was about to begin, Qingyu suddenly asked this question for no reason.
"What do you think?"
Shi Li showed an interested expression.
As it happened, he had some feelings about this recently.
So I am still somewhat interested in this topic.
The communication between players is not limited to the game.
"In my opinion, a complete deck of cards comes in two forms."
"The first is to have enough countermeasure cards to deal with various situations ."
"Take 9+1 as an example, that's a total of 40 cards."
"And in theory, 30 points would be most appropriate for each of these 40 cards."
"Because this way, when you replace a card, you don't have to worry about disrupting the score layout."
([Version Patch]: To increase tactical variability, the substitution rules are changed as follows)
(changed from "each main card has 3 substitute cards" to "the deck has a corresponding number of substitute cards")
(i.e. in a 9+1 game, there are 10 main cards and 30 substitute cards)
(In a 6+1 game, there are 7 main cards and 21 substitute cards, and so on)
(Any substitute card can replace any main cover card in any position during the replacement phase)
(The scene cards remain unchanged, and there are still 4 cards rotating)
Just by hearing this, Shi Li knew that this person had some skills.
The concept that a deck of cards is considered complete only when there are at least 40 cards is consistent with my own philosophy.
Unless you are a player whose deck strength and depth have reached a certain level, it is difficult to realize this truth in person at the poker table.
However, this was the first time he had heard of the concept of taking an average score of 30 as the optimal solution.
It can be said that this makes sense to a certain extent.
Because when a 40-point main card needs to be replaced, it is best to replace it with a 40-point card. If it is replaced with a 30-point card, it may eventually cause the overall deck to lose 10 points.
But in this case, you will have to prepare some 40-point substitute cards specifically for the 40-point cards.
And it is difficult for a substitute card with 40 points to replace a main card with 30 points.
Because 40 points plus 30 points is equivalent to 10 more points.
You have to arrange 20-point cards in other positions to make up the points.
This will result in a mixture of 40-point cards, 30-point cards and 20-point cards in the entire deck.
It does make the operation of replacing cards more factors to consider and require more complicated thinking.
In regular card games, the pressure of time limits on rounds may result in insufficient time to immediately adjust the most reasonable distribution and combination based on the current cards.
So Shi Li had to admit that Qingyu's words made sense.
But for him, he didn't quite agree with this.
There are three reasons.
First, you have an absolute sense of cards, which makes it easier for you to adjust the appropriate score during the shuffling process than other players.
It is not difficult to specially match some high-quality 40-point substitutes and 20-point substitutes for the deck.
Second, his calculation ability is outstanding, perhaps because of the double heart. Anyway, this change started after the strange disease.
Therefore, after three rounds of regular card games, he felt that the round time limit would not cause too much computing pressure for him.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the opponent is not strong.
Third, a full 30-point deck is too rigid.
30 points as an average score is naturally the most number of cards, and it is indeed easy to make up.
But in his eyes, a 40-point card has the function of a 40-point card, and a 20-point card has the function of a 20-point card.
Cards of different scores cannot be completely replaced with each other.
To give the simplest example under ideal conditions, a card's full health is 100 points.
The output of three 30-point cards is 30+30+30, and can only take away 90 points of health in one round.
If it is 30 points + 30 points + 40 points, you can kill this enemy card with 100 health points in 1 round.
Of course, this is just an ideal state.
Real card games involve many factors and cannot be calculated so directly.
But it still proves that the 40-point card has its value.
Similarly, other scores such as 50 points, 60 points, 10 points, 20 points, etc. all have their own value.
"A complete deck in its second form."
At this time, Qingyu spoke again.
"That is, there is a linkage between the 10 cards that appear."
"The most typical thing is that all 10 cards have the same label."
"Of course, if you have 10 cards with the same label, there is a greater chance that you will be targeted."
"But if your label is not a common brand like human, beast, monster, demon, etc., then it's actually okay."
“Although niche cards are difficult to collect, the advantage is that there are fewer cards that target them.”
Shi Li had no objection to this view.
My own Kung Fu deck and sword deck are developing in this direction.
"But here's what I'm saying."
Qing Yu stretched out two fingers, put them together and said, "A truly complete deck is one that combines these two forms together."
“That means 40 cards have the same label and have sufficient countermeasure functionality.”
"And my talent as a poker player happens to allow me to do this very quickly."
“【Wind Spirit Enlightenment】: Any card can be enlightened into a designated Wind Spirit card.”
"First, based on the different types of cards, namely Balance, Rage, Wisdom, Determination, Breaking the Trend, Chasing the Wind, and Listening to the Wind, I can activate the corresponding wind spirit cards for the seven directions."
"Then according to the grade of the card, from D to S."
"Okay, let's not consider the S-level for now. That means there are four grades of DCBA. I can also enlighten the corresponding wind spirit cards for the four directions."
"And they are four completely different wind spirit cards. It's not a simple progressive relationship of 'D-level [Small Wind Spirit] C [Small Wind Spirit]'."
"Adding the scores, let's say each level is 10 points, and the maximum score is only 40."
"10 points, 20 points, 30 points, 40 points, corresponding wind spirit cards for the four directions."
"But as I mentioned earlier, the most reasonable combination is a full 30 points, so let's only consider the corresponding wind spirit cards with 30 points."
"It's not realistic to have an A-level card, so let's just consider the corresponding wind spirit card of the third-level DCB."
"Then please calculate how many types of wind spirit cards I can enchant to expand my deck."
Having said that, Qingyu asked Shi Li a question with a smile.
"..., why don't you just calculate it yourself? Why are you asking me?"
Shi Li finally figured it out.
This guy in front of me talked for such a long time, but his only purpose was to elevate himself.
By raising your own level, you can humiliate your opponent.
This is a very common way of showing off.
But... he didn't intend to spoil the other party.
Qingyu: "Then let me tell you the answer, hahaha!"
Qing Yu: "The total number is 7x3=21! My Wind Spirit deck currently has more than 21 Wind Spirit cards!"
Qingyu: "Although it is still a long way from 40, it is not perfect."
Qingyu: "I believe that in time, as long as I continue..."
Ding! x3
【My body is a weapon! 】
【The wind is my eyes...】
【Guguguga! 】
Qingyu: “???!!!”
15 minutes later, the door of the deck slowly opened.
"Thanks. See you tomorrow."
Shi Li straightened his clothes and walked out.
I got the [Dragon Throat], I’m so happy.
Only Qingyu was left, slumped on the ground with a confused expression.
The 9+1 deck just now can only be described in one word: horrible.
She was numb.
many!
So much golden light!
…
The next day when Shi Li met Qingyu at the venue again, the other party avoided his gaze.
She didn't mention anything about picking Shi Li.
There’s no other way. If I really draw this pervert, I won’t be able to go to Lanlan City!
She also wants to play in the city competition!
So now Qingyu's mentality has undergone a complete change.
Now she wanted to see which unlucky person would draw Shi Li today.
After all, the opponent has such a strong deck, so he can just kill anyone he sees, right?
In the morning, there is a 24-to-12 match, and there are only 12 games in total, so they are carried out in sequence.
Among them, 9 contestants from three major industries all advanced to the top 24.
Shi Li had a relatively good understanding of Lao Wang and Ping Ju's strengths.
Excluding Qingyu, who had played a game with him yesterday, there were 21 other players, and Shi Li had paid attention to their games.
To put it simply in one sentence, he is not worried about who he gets drawn.
Good morning, everyone.
After the 24 people gathered on the stage, Zhu Chichi's voice was heard through the public broadcast.
【Welcome everyone to the 24 to 12 competition】
[Before the draw begins, please allow me to introduce today’s guest commentator]
【Let us welcome Director Feng from Lanlan City! 】
[Today he will be the guest and will explain the story to you together with me]
【welcome!】
[Ahem, hello everyone, I am Director Feng of the Balance Card Hall in Lanlan City]
[I am very happy to be here today to explain the trials to you]
"Um?"
Hearing this slightly familiar voice, Shi Li raised his eyebrows.
Then he turned his eyes to Wang Defa: You old man, your personality is in danger.
Next, Zhu Chichi announced the rules of the draw.
[Now, please prepare yourself, contestants]
[We adopt the live draw mode in this round]
[The contestants will personally go on stage to draw lots, and compete with whoever they draw]
[The next draw will be decided by the winner of the previous draw]
After these words were spoken, many contestants' faces changed slightly.
That is to say, no matter whether it is the person who draws the lots or the person who is drawn, neither of them will know who their opponent is until they are designated by the winner of the previous game or are drawn.
This is a bit exciting.
[Hehe, this competition system is to some extent designed to avoid both sides from preparing in advance after confirming their opponents]
[When it comes to the city competition, the confidentiality mechanism will be further improved]
[Until the moment they stand at the table, players will not know who their opponents are]
[This will increase the variables of the game]
[It is less likely to have a one-sided situation where the winning hand is matched, which improves the viewing experience]
[However, this mechanism can only work in the early and middle stages of the competition at best]
Director Feng at the commentary desk gave an appropriate explanation.
[As for the drawer for this round, let us, the organizer, designate one first.]
[Director Wang, thank you for your help]
Afterwards, Zhu Chichi named Wang Defa.
"Hahaha, no problem."
Wang Defa seemed to have expected this and stood up from the contestant seat with a slight smile.
"Director Wang, please show some mercy and don't hit me."
"Don't hit me either."
"Please, please, Director Wang."
Although the draw was random, many contestants still pleaded with Wang Defa to please them.
"Don't worry, everything will work out."
Wang Defa looked at them and pressed his palm downward.
His words and actions are full of the style of a senior.
The drawing device is placed next to the contestants' seats. It is a glass basin stood on a stand.
There are 23 capsule balls in the basin, each with the name of another contestant written on it.
The surface and weight of all the spheres are exactly the same, making it a fair draw.
Then Wang Defa was seen walking over with his hands behind his back and steady steps.
I randomly grabbed a capsule ball from it.
He opened the gashapon ball and glanced at the opponent's name inside from an angle that only he could see.
Then Wang Defa laughed.
"Oh my god, what is Director Wang laughing at?"
"Don't tell me you think the opponent you drew is easy to deal with."
"Who is this unlucky guy?"
"At least it's not me."
His smile made many contestants secretly frightened.
It has to be said that Wang Defa also understands something about the show effects. After knowing his opponent, he did not announce it immediately.
Instead, he smiled and scanned the group of contestants with his eyes.
Zhu Chichi: [Ahahaha, Director Wang created a little suspense here]
Director Feng: [I wonder who he picked]
At this time, the director also kindly gave a close-up shot.
Whoever Wang Defa's gaze fell on made that person feel very uncomfortable.
Some even went further, looking away directly.
Even players of Qingyu and Pingju's level had stiff expressions.
After all, being drawn by Wang Defa means being eliminated, and this is the consensus reached by everyone.
Zhu Chichi: [Ahaha, it seems that no one wants to be picked by Director Wang. The atmosphere is a bit awkward.]
Director Feng: [Is that so? But why did I see one contestant even cross his legs?]
Yes, there was one contestant who seemed out of place.
That was Shi Li, the only one who was fearless and dared to look Wang Defa in the face.
Obviously, this looked like he wasn't afraid of being hit by him.
(I'm TUI.)
In response to this, Wang Defa could only secretly spit at Shi Li in his heart.
The perfect pretentious atmosphere that I created was destroyed by this guy.
However, the player he drew was not Shi Li.
"Steel Hoof boy, come out."
Finally, his eyes fell on a human-shaped horse contestant.
The humanoid centaurs look very much like horses, but walk upright.
"ah???"
The centaur named Steel Hoof was stunned at first, and then his face fell.
It seems that my journey to the selection competition is over.
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no accidents next.
30 minutes later, Steelhoof took the initiative to press the surrender button.
Buzz...
As the blue light barrier dissipated, the commentary desk announced the end of the game.
Zhu Chichi: [Congratulations to Director Wang for advancing to the next round! ]
Zhu Chichi: [I also have to say goodbye to Steel Hoof Player with great regret. I can only stop here.]
Director Feng: [Well, it was an exciting game of cards. Both sides played very well.]
Zhu Chichi: [That’s right, the fight was so intense that it left us wanting more!]
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the two commentators are just making polite remarks.
Because everyone could see that Wang Defa really showed mercy to his opponent in terms of both deck strength and operation, and he obviously let him win.
Otherwise, Steelhoof might have surrendered 10 minutes earlier.
[Next, please ask Director Wang to designate the next contestant to draw lots for us]
So under Zhu Chichi's CUE process, Wang Defa took the microphone from the staff.
[Coach Shi, how about you show off your skills? ]
Wang Defa did not hesitate and directly called Shi Li's name.
"OK."
Shi Lizhi stood up and strode to the glass basin.
Just grab a capsule ball and open it.
The director did the same this time, giving all the contestants a big shot.
Zhu Chichi: [Wow, I think I just saw this scene]
Zhu Chichi: [Everyone is also very afraid of being picked by Shi Li]
Zhu Chichi: [It seems that in the eyes of other players, the evaluation they give to Coach Shi is no worse than that of Director Wang.]
Director Feng: [Um, is that little girl from the Winged Tribe... praying? ]
"Don't hit me, don't hit me, don't hit me..."
At this time, Qingyu was lowering his head, clasping his hands together and muttering to himself.
Wang Defa, who was standing next to her, felt a little jealous when he saw her performance.
That's not right, little girl. I didn't see you so nervous when I drew the lots just now.
Why do I feel like you seem to be more afraid of that kid Shi Li?
