Amid the cheers of the audience, Shi Li and Xiang Qi walked towards the contestants' seats.
"Why are you so strong in dungeons and also so good at the poker table?"
Xiang Qi complained with a wry smile.
“Is it possible that I am just this level of poker player?”
"Don't worry, you're not bad either."
Based on his experience of watching the first eight groups, Shi Li judged that Xiang Qi had a high probability of getting second place in the group just by relying on the strength of this elephant chess and card set.
If he can't even get second place in the group, then his chances of getting first place in the group might be in jeopardy.
"There is just one problem. Your chess and card group is too fixed."
“I believe that after this game, as long as you reveal the first [pawn], others will be able to tell what you are going to reveal next.”
"Is there no way to solve this problem?"
He kindly offered his advice.
“Well… hehehe.”
Unexpectedly, Xiang Qi laughed when he heard this.
"I don't know if you have ever really come into contact with chess."
"In chess, there are two sides, red and black."
"Although the red and black chess pieces are the same, their names are different."
"In the red chess pieces, there are generals, ministers, horses, chariots and artillery."
"Inside the black chess pieces are generals, soldiers, elephants, chariots, cannons and pawns."
When he said this, the smile on his face was quite mysterious.
"this……"
Hearing this, Shi Li seemed to understand.
Just now he put on the general, general, chariot, artillery and pawn. Isn't this a mix?
Could this kid have a set of chess and cards hidden?
Come to think of it, you are the only one allowed to hide the deck, but others are not allowed to hide it.
Afterwards, Xiang Qi had no taboos and directly introduced his talent as a poker player to him.
It turns out that his talent as a card player is [Xiangqipai].
You can obtain and upgrade the reinforcement by completing some designated tasks, and you can also modify the chess and card group to a certain extent later.
"I said, no wonder you have such a complete series of cards."
After hearing this, Shi Li finally understood.
Although Xiang Qi didn't say it explicitly, he could tell that this guy might not have put together enough chess and card sets yet.
The two of them chatted as they returned to their seats in the contestant booth.
Qingyu Pingju and others also gathered around.
Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the card game that had just happened, but they didn't know that in the other corner of the player seat, Brother Wu was still staring at Shi Li.
Then the second battle of Group 9 began.
Although this is the second game, it is the first game for both players.
So they put all their efforts into it, and each used their strongest deck.
Overall, Shi Li thinks their level is very good.
Both his card skills and decks are at the average level of all the players who have appeared on the stage so far.
But with this level of skill, it is definitely impossible to beat the elephant chess and card set that Xiang Qi just used.
As for himself, he could beat them just by using a combination of scattered cards.
You have to know that Shi Li's scattered card combination has quite good combat effectiveness.
After all, before the series of decks took shape or became a system, he was playing with scattered decks.
This is definitely an introductory process for beginners.
Strictly speaking, in the battle with Xiang Qi just now, he put up 1 [Wind Fox] + 1 [Double Stick Goblin], which is actually an impure sword deck. If you insist, you can call it a scattered deck.
For a loose deck, what matters is a high degree of flexibility.
Although it is impossible to enjoy the same harmonic effect and the benefits brought by the large-scale same label, it is also not easy to be targeted uniformly.
On the contrary, it is relatively easy to replace the targeted card from the substitute deck through the card revealed by the opponent.
Some experts, relying on their strong foundation, often break up the deck.
With the help of the extra draws from the players' talents, Director Xiu and Director Lao are experts in this field.
The next game, the third one, is between player No. 5 and player No. 1's elephant.
What Xiang Qi took out was still the same set of Xiang chess and cards.
Anyway, it has been exposed. If you are confident that you can always win, just keep using it.
As expected, even if the opponent knew his deck, and even knew his routines and tactics, he was still no match for him.
After all, even if it has fixed negative attributes and the deck cannot be changed, it is still a full A-level deck.
It's really not that difficult to use it to beat ordinary players.
After Xiang Qi's second game ended , it was the turn of No. 2 Shi Li to face No. 3 player.
Inspired by Xiang Qi, Shi Li also wanted to use the same deck as in the first game to avoid exposing other cards.
But with cube cards, sometimes it doesn’t mean that if A is greater than B and B is greater than C, then A must be greater than C.
There are also some restrained circular relationships involved.
It was obvious at first glance that player No. 3's main deck would be crushed by the elephant chess and card deck.
The result was a back-and-forth fight with Shi Li.
In the end, he was forced to change several cards before he won.
At the end of the day, Shi Li and Xiang Qi both advanced.
Shi Li won all four games and advanced as the first place.
Xiangqi won three out of four games and advanced as the second place.
Their opponents in the first round of the knockout stage will be the second and first place teams in Group 10.
Therefore, tomorrow's group match is the event that they need to pay special attention to and study.
The next morning, Shi Li and Xiang Qi arrived at the stadium on time.
There are a few fewer contestants in the box today than yesterday.
After all, some contestants became discouraged and never came back after being eliminated.
However, some contestants will continue to attend with the intention of learning or watching the fun.
Another advantage of being a player is that there is a dedicated player seat.
Regardless of whether they are eliminated or not, with official permission, they have obtained a full pass to the event.
By watching the game, Shi Li quickly discovered that the overall levels of the five players in Group 10 were very similar.
And it is slightly above the average.
Of course, it is not ruled out that someone has hidden a stronger deck and strength.
In short, the group form was very different from that presented yesterday, and there was no overwhelming lead like that between him and Xiang Qi yesterday.
The five players won and lost against each other, and judging from the results it was a mixed bag.
The end result is:
Player No. 1 beat No. 23, tied with No. 4, and lost with No. 5.
Player No. 2 beat No. 45, tied with No. 3, and lost to No. 1.
Player No. 3 beat No. 45, tied with No. 2, and lost to No. 1.
The three players had an equal record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they went into a tiebreak.
During the extra game, another dramatic scene occurred.
Number 1 wins and number 2 loses to number 3.
Number 2 wins and number 3 loses to number 1.
Number 3 wins and number 1 loses.
A closed loop is formed.
As a last resort, an extra game was held again.
After two matches, these three players have become somewhat familiar with each other's card patterns.
No. 2, who performed better, took the lead in winning two games in the extra game, emerged as the first place and became Xiang Qi's opponent.
No. 1 and No. 3 were left to duel. In order to ensure their advancement, they simultaneously started to take out their newest treasures.
In the end, No. 1 won by a small margin and advanced to the second place.
For Shi Li, he felt that he had made quite a profit.
Because today I saw player No. 1 play 7 games, 3 more than the normal players.
Through these sessions, with his keen eyesight, he was able to analyze and grasp a lot of things.
For example, the opponent's deck of cards, the opponent's playing habits, style, and tactical expertise, etc.
So at night, Shi Li made a decision.
From the time when the [Dead Beast Dilemma] dungeon came out to now, there have been 5 days of rest, plus 10 days of competition schedule.
Also, as the player's level increases, the copy cooldown time will be reduced accordingly.
It must be admitted that Group 9 is indeed a relatively ideal draw position, and the timing is very good.
In order to better improve our strength and deal with unknown situations that may arise in the future.
So he decided to enter the dungeon.
For the next 22 groups’ matches, I’ll ask the staff to help record the videos and I can watch them later.
There are many benefits to watching replays, such as avoiding the games where eliminated players compete against eliminated players, saving time.
You can also watch it at double the speed, which also saves time.
The time saved might be enough for him to make another entry.
In order to enter the dungeon, he specifically went to find out about the subsequent schedule.
After the group stage, there will still be a 5-day rest period.
22+5=27 days, which is almost equivalent to a month.
This time, Shi Li planned to enter the Seven Systems.
The time there is 1:3, that is, 3 days inside and 1 day outside.
27 days outside is equal to 81 days inside, which is more than two months.
Of course, the Seven-System Dao does not require so many days. Basically, it can be completed within 3 to 5 days. Only a little over 1 day has passed outside.
If Shi Li was a little more ruthless, he would have taken drugs immediately after coming out of the Seven System Dao.
Then maybe you can get another chance to enter the dungeon before the knockout round begins.
Although the Seven Element Way has a special built-in cooldown time, he doesn't have to enter the Seven Element Way again.
When the time comes, just find one with a larger time ratio difference.
"But should I go to the [Way of Listening to the Wind] or the [Way of Wisdom]?"
For Shi Li, these two are definitely the first choice.
Because these two are brand new, you can get more rewards if you go in.
"I'm in short supply of both the Wind Listening Card and the Wisdom Card."
"Moreover, both types of cards have more functions, and Tingfeng is more functional."
"After all, some smart cards are the kind that start with a burst of power and attack."
After thinking about it, he finally decided to go to [Listening to the Wind] first.
One of the reasons is that even if you go to [Way of Wisdom] and get a few good cards, you may not be able to form a complete system.
It is better to wait until you reach LV15 before going to [Way of Wisdom], because then you will be able to get more small level rewards and it will be easier to get enough wisdom cards to match and form a system.
As for [The Way of Listening to the Wind], as long as the appropriate function card appears, it can be immediately filled into one's own system.
Judging from the experience points, as long as this [Listening to the Wind] journey goes smoothly, there is a high probability that I can reach LV15.
The second reason is that we don’t know whether the Wind Chaser is still in [The Way of Listening to the Wind].
It would be great if he was there, maybe I could get some gift.
"The previous Spirit of Balance and Spirit of Wind Chaser were both very weak. I wonder what kind of opponent I will encounter this time."
So after completing various preparations, he took out the copy crystal.
The first time one opens the seven paths, one must pass the test of the spirit to which one belongs.
If you fail, the copy crystal will go into cooldown directly, and you will have to wait until the cooldown is complete before trying again.
Previously, because he had not exceeded LV10, the cards of Spirit of Balance and Spirit of Wind Chaser were only E-level blanks.
Now it has exceeded LV10 and reached LV14. The opponent should use D-level cards.
"Come on, then."
With a slight pinch of his palm, Shi Li activated the copy crystal.
Buzz!
With a momentary spatial vibration, he immediately felt the crystal in his hand begin to heat up.
He placed it on the ground with ease, and then a green light emerged from the crystal surface and gradually transformed into a human shape.
The green figure looked exactly like Shi Li. After he took shape, he waved his hand expressionlessly.
Buzz!
The 9+1 card table made of blue energy was spread out on the spot.
"To fight against a computer player, of course you have to use the strongest deck."
Shi Li did not hesitate and placed his complete set of Kung Fu deck in the main position.
Then he put all the sword cards, summon cards, and counter cards in the substitute deck into it.
To be honest, he didn't take his deck this seriously even in the group stage.
The game begins the moment the cards are placed.
The other party has no intelligence, so there is no need to use any tricks.
He didn't waste any time and directly revealed [Weapon Master], [Stone Monkey], and [Blind Swordsman]. The scene card was [Wulin].
3A+B, this is currently the strongest debut of Shili.
At this time, the Spirit of Listening to the Wind on the opposite side also revealed his deck of cards.
【Rustle, rustle, rustle…】
The first card's projection is an ordinary-looking tree.
【Centennial Tree】
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Good Times - Passive]: When the Centennial Tree is stationary, it will recover an additional 0.5 energy points
"It's normal."
After browsing, Shi Li shrugged.
50% extra energy recovery is not bad.
But it has no skills, so it has no use for its energy.
【Rustle, rustle, rustle…】
The second card is also a tree, and it looks more vigorous than the [Centennial Tree].
【Millennium Tree】
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/4
[Good Times - Passive]: When the Millennium Tree is stationary, it will recover an additional 1 energy point
"This skill is very good, with the same energy recovery efficiency as [Wild Fat Cat]."
"But it's still useless."
"Wait, there won't be another [Ten Thousand Years Tree] that can restore an extra 2 points."
"In this case, the strength of the entry will exceed the standard."
Amid his questioning, the third card was revealed.
【Rustle, rustle, rustle…】
Sure enough, there was another bigger tree.
【Ten Thousand Years Tree】
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/6
[Good Times - Passive]: When the Ten Thousand Year Tree is stationary, it will recover an additional 1 energy point
Fortunately, the imagined data collapse foul entry did not appear.
This [Ten Thousand Year Tree] only has an energy limit of 2 points higher than that of the [Thousand Year Tree].
The first round ended quickly with simple offense and defense.
All of these tree cards have chosen [Standstill] and pose no threat.
【Mee-zha~! 】
Then Shi Li unveiled the [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit]...
20 minutes later, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Fuck, that was so close, I almost sent it."
"There is actually such a perverted card mechanism?"
"Luckily I gave it my all and didn't let my guard down."
Tingfengzhiling's last trump card is quite powerful.
It was a tree-man evil mage who had established an almost abnormal mechanism with just one passive skill.
But fortunately, Shi Li had mobilized all his forces to attack, so there was no reason why he could not defeat the pervert.
With the defeat of the Wind-Listening Spirit, the journey of Wind-Listening officially begins.
Buzz!
In a flash, Shi Li was standing in the pure white space.
“I’m back again.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand.
call out!
The store panel immediately popped up.
"Very good, all the spell cards left by Panda are still there."
Seeing this, he felt relieved.
Unfortunately, this is the starting point of level zero, and I don’t have a penny on me, so I can’t afford it at all.
"I don't know which inscription power is more suitable for [The Way of Listening to the Wind]."
"Last time, the [Balance Method] was more useful with the [Power of Balance]."
"But my deck wasn't as strong as it is now. If I go there again now, [Power of Balance] might not be the best solution."
"As for the [Way of Chasing the Wind], I have used the [Power of Balance] and the [Power of Listening to the Wind] to pass it."
"Then would [The Way of Listening to the Wind] and [The Power of Chasing the Wind] be the best solutions?"
Thinking of this, he looked at the illustration of [Power of Chasing the Wind].
[Son of the Wind - 6]: When a card [Moves], restore 50% of its maximum health. This function only takes effect once per round. When multiple cards [Move], select one to restore.
[Wind Overflow - 10]: When your Wind Chaser card is fully charged, attack power +50%
[Wind Filling - 15]: All your cards gain 0.5 energy every turn.
"Without the initial capital, it is completely impossible to collect 15 inscriptions."
"Even 10 inscriptions are difficult."
"But generally speaking, the difficulty of the zeroth level is not that high. As long as you can get the targeted 6-inscription effect, it won't be too difficult to beat."
"But the problem is that I don't have many movement cards."
"The only ones that can be put on the stage are [Crow Man] + [Yoga Frog], and the matching scene card [Dandelion Valley]."
"The rest are a few D-rank movement cards like Wind Blaster."
"And what kind of monster card would require me to [move] all the time?"
After thinking about it, I feel that it shouldn’t be the case.
"I'd better choose [Power of Balance]. [Balanced Life] is still the first choice for opening up new lands. It is easier to deal with various situations."
So in the end, he chose [Power of Balance].
After choosing the power of inscription, there is no point in staying here.
I must hurry up on this trip.
Crash!
As soon as he entered level zero one, Shi Li was hit hard.
Storm, mad storm is raging on the earth.
No, there is no land here, only a vast ocean.
Even he himself was standing on the sea.
"What the hell is this?"
Looking down, I found myself standing on a rocky reef path that had been slightly submerged by the sea water.
"This is completely different from what I imagined the Tingfeng Level to be."
He originally thought that the copy of Listening to the Wind should be in an environment like a quiet valley.
As a result, now, listening to the mixed sounds of roaring waves and heavy rain, there is no trace of listening to the wind at all.
"Um?"
However, after standing and observing for just one minute, he felt that the sea water was deeper than before.
At this moment, a huge countdown made up of red numbers appeared in the air.
19:59
19:58
Time is ticking by second by second.
"What the hell, is there a time limit?!"
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense.
