As for the other one to be dealt with, it is [Huluzai].
Among his main cards, the only ones that are more suitable for it are [Double-Stick Goblin] and [Snake with a Sharp Hand].
After previewing these three cards, I found that [Sly Snake] is not compatible with [Gourd Baby] at all.
Only the [Double-Stick Goblin] is suitable, perhaps because they are all very short.
So he clapped his hands.
Buzz!
Light overflowed from the palm, and the card was completed.
The projection on the card is still the goblin holding two sticks.
【Double Stick Goblin】
Balanced, 20 points, C
Attack 20, 100/100
[Phi Stick Secret Skill - Passive]: The attacks of the double stick goblins ignore [Defense]
[Dwarf's Law - Passive]: When a Dual-Stick Goblin is attacked by a target with higher attack power than itself, the damage is -10
As a card that ignores [Defense], it is bound to be easily targeted.
Therefore, it is also very good to have a damage reduction item for self-defense.
Regarding this card, there is actually a way to increase its score in real time.
Increasing the score means increasing the attack power.
It's fine when it's paired with a 20-point card, just ignoring terms like [Defense].
Once the score goes up and the attack power goes up, compensatory negative effects will appear.
He had seen many "Ignore [Defense]" cards with 30 points or more that had negative effects.
He even has the most typical one in his hand, a 40-point, 40-attack [Sword Death] that ignores [Defense] and loses 30 health points per round.
Even if it has its own health bonus and recovery, it is difficult to fill the hole of automatic blood loss.
Slightly less useful ones, such as the B-level 20-point, 20-attack [Infiltrating Slime] that Director Feng took out earlier, ignores [Defense] + Attack Power -10.
Perhaps, Shi Li guessed that perhaps only the very best, almost supermodel 30-point 30-attack cards could ignore [Defense] at no cost.
"Okay, this wave of gains is actually quite large."
"In the next few days, combine work and rest to adjust your condition."
“Next stage, full of confidence.”
I looked at the time and it was quite late.
sleep.
…
During the 5-day rest period, Shi Li basically spent at least 8 hours every day on the simulated poker table.
Under the arrangement of Director Feng, many coaches from the Henggong Card Club came to practice with him.
Some of the coaches are really good.
Especially the most senior coaches, who have been immersed in Cube Cards for many years and have formed a very distinctive and powerful table style.
Even when Director Feng met these people, he was still respectful.
In his words, if it was just a matter of playing at the simulated poker table, he wouldn't be able to beat these guys.
One or two of them were even competitors for the position of curator at that time.
The only difference between them and Director Feng is the depth and strength of their decks.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon.
Some people are really too immersed in the pure card table, or the simulated card table, and they don’t even like to play the copy.
Some people are only good at playing cards, but not very good at dungeon matters, so their efficiency in harvesting dungeons is low.
Some people are just really unlucky and rarely draw good cards, and over time they lose their fighting spirit.
Therefore, if you want to become a truly good card player, you still have to put in a lot of effort in the dungeon aspect.
These senior coaches all have serious subject bias.
Of course, there are also people who are not biased towards any subject.
I heard that they were all managers of other branches in Lanlan City. Their simulated card table skills were also very strong. However, due to his busy official duties, Shi Li had no chance to meet them.
There was only one day out of the five days when he took out an afternoon to go out and play with Feng Xiaohu others. After all, he couldn't refuse such a kind invitation, and they actually had a lot of fun.
Moreover, Feng Xiaohu and his group of guys said they wanted to play, but in fact they were not lagging behind in terms of effort.
Their practice time was no less than Shi Li's, they just sacrificed some rest time for the sake of playing.
By the last two days of rest, I had calmed down a bit.
After 5 days of rest, everyone came to the association early in the morning according to the schedule.
The rules and arrangements for this stage were sent to each qualified player via the communicator as soon as the dungeon competition ended.
The dungeon competition is divided into 32 groups, with 5 people advancing from each group, so the total number is 160 people.
The next second stage is the group stage.
160 people were re-shuffled and drawn into 32 groups of 5 people.
Then each group will play a round-robin tournament, and the top two teams will advance to the top 64.
If there is a tie within a group that affects promotion, an extra game will be played.
At this time in the conference room, all 160 puppet light balls were still in place.
“Looking back, it’s really cruel.”
Looking at this group of puppet lights, Qing Yu couldn't help but sigh: "There were 3,200 contestants in the first round, but now there are only 160 left in the blink of an eye."
In order to facilitate mutual identification, each small group will discuss in advance and use puppet light balls to simulate some small features.
For example, the small group led by Shi Li consists of Feng Xiaohu, Huichun, Qingyu, Pingju, and Xiang Qi and his group.
Xiang Qi and the other two are close to Qingyu + Shi Li mainly because of what happened in the dungeon.
In addition, I later joined the tour under the guidance of the tour guide Feng Xiaohu, and I have become more integrated into the group.
"The cruelest thing is that those players who were eliminated in the first round didn't even have the chance to play cards at the table."
At this time, Xiang Qi heard Qingyu's words and shook his head.
“So, poker players should not be biased towards one subject.”
Shester agreed.
"Wow, look over there, that guy is so arrogant."
At this moment, Pingju suddenly pointed to the center of the conference room.
There were many small groups of contestants, and everyone used the method of simulating marks to identify each other.
But overall, the style of the small light group has not changed much.
Only where Pingju pointed, there was a person sitting there carelessly.
I don’t know whether the other party did not use the puppet operating cabin, or directly used the puppet light ball to simulate the complete appearance.
"Isn't this that guy?"
When Shi Li saw the attire, he looked at Huichun.
The ancient costume and the graceful waving of a fan are quite vivid memories.
"Damn it, I want to shudder when I see this guy."
Huichun obviously recalled some unpleasant memories.
"Is it possible that someone copied his appearance to attract hatred?"
Qingyu proposed an idea.
"Wait a minute."
Hearing what he said, Shi Li floated over and looked him over and over under the other person's nose.
Demon: “?”
"It's probably not a fake. Many details are exactly the same as what I encountered that day."
He has a good memory and got the result after comparing them.
This demon brother didn't even change his clothes.
Huichun: "Uh, aren't you afraid that he will remember you like this?"
Shi Li: "What are you afraid of? He doesn't even know who I am!"
Qingyu: "Don't mention it, it makes sense."
I have to say that this demon-casting behavior is unique and very arrogant.
What does this show? It shows that the other party has full confidence and thinks he does not need or intend to hide his identity at all.
This declarative behavior made all the players present pay more attention to him.
After a while, the hunchback sister came in with a microphone.
【Good morning, everyone! 】
First, she struck a cute pose.
[I believe that everyone has read all the relevant information about the second phase during the 5 days of rest]
[In case someone hasn’t seen it, I’ll repeat it again now]
Next, Sister Hunchback began to read out the rules.
After the group stage, it is the third stage of the competition, the knockout stage.
Although the dungeon matches in the first stage have little to do with the group matches in the second stage.
But the group stage of the second stage is closely related to the knockout stage of the third stage.
The 64 players who qualify from the group stage will be divided into two categories, namely the first and second place in the group.
Once all 64 players are confirmed, they will be matched directly.
The first place in Group A faces the second place in Group B.
The first place in Group B will face the second place in Group A.
The first place in Group C will face the second place in Group D.
The first place in Group D will face the second place in Group C.
For example, if a qualified player from Group B thinks that the first place in Group A is too strong, he does not want to meet him in the first round.
In this case, the player who qualifies from Group B needs to try his best to fight for the first place in the group so as to avoid collision.
Or maybe the player from Group B saw that the strongest player from Group A failed and dropped to second place.
Then he needs to control his points appropriately so that he can also become the second in the group, so as to avoid it.
In short, in the first round of the knockout stage, the group winner will not meet the group winner, and the group runner-up will not meet the group runner-up.
After the first round, all the winners will stand on the same starting line and draw lots again.
[Okay, contestants]
[Then please move to the venue and draw lots in front of the audience]
After saying that, Sister Hunchback went to the commentary desk first to prepare.
"Everyone, I hope we don't get drawn into the same group next time."
Seeing the host leave, Qingyu looked at everyone.
"Just shut up."
Shi Li said that the other party should talk less.
He did not forget that this guy was from the Crow Clan.
After waiting for about half an hour, the venue was ready.
Under the guidance of the staff, 160 contestants started to head towards the venue.
Perhaps influenced by Shi Mo's lead, many contestants chose large-scale mimicry.
However, they did not necessarily all draw up their own prototypes. Some of them drew up zombies, perhaps because they were addicted to it from the last copy.
【Good morning, everyone! 】
While waiting in the contestant channel, everyone heard the voice of Sister Hunchback.
[I am very happy to be the host of this year's city competition, Lanlan. I am Tuotuo]
[You can also call me Hunchback Sister]
[Next, I would like to introduce a heavyweight guest to you]
[He will serve as commentator with me in the upcoming matches]
[Please welcome the chief curator of the Lanlan City Balance Card Hall, Curator Feng! ]
【Everyone is welcome! 】
[Hehe, hello everyone, I am Director Feng]
Given Director Feng’s status in the Lanlan City poker circle, he is definitely one of the most famous guests.
[Okay, then I declare that the second stage is now officially started]
【Let us welcome all contestants to the stage with the warmest applause! 】
As the hunchback sister finished her words, Shi Li and other contestants walked out of the contestant channel at the signal of the staff.
In an instant, he felt surrounded by the wave.
This venue is many times larger than the one used for the qualifying rounds, and the auditorium was packed.
It can only be described as huge crowds of people + huge crowds of people.
In the center of the venue, there is a large transparent container.
You can see that there are many lottery balls placed inside.
If I'm not mistaken, there should be exactly 160 of them.
Then, under the guidance of the host, the contestants took turns to come forward and draw their own numbers.
After the numbers were drawn, they all went to the contestant seats at the side of the venue and took their seats.
Small groups of people also gathered together.
"Come on, come on, show us which group you got."
As soon as everyone gathered, Pingju greeted them.
As a result, everyone's reaction was surprisingly quiet.
He found that Qingyu and the others' eyes were all on Shi Li.
Some people want to meet Shi Li, such as Huichun.
However, he was the only one present who was still thinking about challenging Shi Li.
Feng Xiaohu, Qingyu and others don't want to meet Shi Li.
Although Qi and the other three who joined later had never played cards with Shi Li, after listening to Feng Xiaohu and Qingyu's exaggeration, they felt that it must be true, so they didn't want to meet him.
The only one who doesn’t care is actually Pingju.
Because he felt that there was a high probability that he would have to send it.
A win in the group stage is worth 3 points, a draw is worth 1 point.
5 players will fight against each other alternately, and one player will play 4 games in total.
Even if all four games are tied, it's only 4 points. As long as others win two games, the score will exceed.
"Since you are all unwilling, I will go first."
As he said that, Pingju twisted his own ball.
【8-5】
It had his signature on it: Group 8, No. 5.
"Wow, we're just a little bit closer."
Seeing someone taking the lead, Xiang Qi also showed his signature number, [9-1].
Group 8 and Group 9 are two adjacent groups.
However, after qualifying, Group 8 was paired with Group 7, and Group 9 was paired with Group 10, so he said it was a little bit off.
Then, everyone started showing their numbers.
Feng Xiaohu: [3-4]
Huichun: [21-5]
Qingyu: [15-2]
Shesidel: [11-4]
V-50: [28-1]
Finally, only Shi Li had not yet been displayed.
So far, none of the seven of them are in the same group, nor are they matched adjacent to each other.
This result is a happy ending for everyone.
Only Shi Li’s signature number was left, which had not been revealed.
"Hehe, sorry."
As a result, Shi Li's words made Feng Xiaohu and others feel depressed.
No way?
I got to be in the same group with him?
They all have little hearts beating like drums.
To be honest, if 8 people choose 32 numbers, the probability of choosing the same number is actually quite high.
"That's you."
Finally, Shi Li's eyes turned to Xiang Qi and he showed his own sign number, [9-2].
Not only are they in the same group, but they also met in the first game.
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah~!!!" x2
Among them, Feng Xiaohu and Qingyu hugged each other and cheered.
After all, they are sisters who have been abused by Shi Li.
As long as this pervert is in the same group with me, everything will be fine . Who cares about the life and death of others?
Seeing the two people's reactions, Sheside and V-50 were infected and couldn't help but secretly feel lucky.
"cut."
Huichun curled her lips.
Only Xiang Qi's expression looked a little ugly.
"Haha, you can't scare me."
“No one knows whether it is a mule or a horse before it is served.”
He told himself this out loud.
But even the contestant representatives from Lanlan City don’t want to meet him, so this guy must have real strength, right?
Do you want to find some information?
This is what Xiang Qi thought in his heart at this time.
As a representative of the city, I certainly have a logistics .
If you know your opponent in advance, it shouldn't be difficult to get his or her table history.
However, at this moment, he saw Shi Li floating towards him.
"Let's play a good game of cards, and then we can take first and second place."
Shi Li reached out and touched Xiang Qi's shiny head.
"this……"
This made Xiang Qi feel ashamed.
Look at the other person's demeanor, what were you thinking just now?
No competitive spirit at all!
That’s right, fair play!
Then present a wonderful game of cards to everyone!
"good!"
After thinking it through, Xiang Qi nodded heavily.
"Hello, are you there?"
However, he saw that Shi Li had turned around and dialed the communicator: "Help me investigate a guy named Xiang Qi. Yes, that's the name."
Xiang Qi: “???”
"Why are you looking at me like that? This is a competition, we have to make use of off-field factors as well."
Shi Li took it as a matter of course.
"It's probably useless for you to investigate him. He will definitely use a brand new deck."
Qingyu directly warned Xiang Qi that she already had some understanding of Shi Li's approach.
"It's all your fault!"
Xiang Qi was slightly annoyed.
However, their Group 9 schedule is relatively later, so they still have enough time to prepare.
[Okay, now the contestants have finished drawing lots! ]
[Let us begin to welcome the official arrival of the group stage! ]
【The first two contestants to take the stage and perform a wonderful match for us are from Group 1! 】
[No. 1-1 and 1-2! ]
Following the announcement by Sister Hunchback, two contestants walked out from the contestant seats.
In order to facilitate the commentary, the puppet code function was also enabled in the group stage.
At this time, the code names above the heads of these two players were the same as the codes they used in the copy.
Of course, if you want to change your code, you can do so at any time.
However, the official does not allow the use of certain codes that are too extreme or inappropriate for stage performance.
Soon, the two players arrived at the designated area at the edge of the field.
In order to enhance the viewing experience, the entire scene on the card table will be holographically enlarged and projected onto the entire venue, giving the audience an immersive experience.
Even the two contestants were projected and magnified.
The state they were simulating at this moment was like a giant standing in front of everyone.
One of them transformed himself into the appearance of a fire elemental.
The other one was modeled after a human being, wearing an ancient robe, a crown and a hat, and a jade belt around his waist with a sword hanging from it.
I don’t know if this is their true appearance.
"It's a bit strange..."
But when Li's eyes fell on the human projection, he felt that it seemed very familiar.
