I didn’t expect that this officer was actually a relatively rare card.
He had seen this type of card in the second-level authority of the card hall, but not many, only one or two.
I actually had the chance to meet him here.
"Then spend two chances and get one ticket each."
Shi Li completed the operation skillfully.
Then, two cards came into his hand.
[It is a soldier's nature to obey orders! ]
In the card, a captain in a dark raincoat stands on the deck in the storm, roaring sternly.
【Cold-blooded Officer】
Rage, 40 points, D
Attack 40, 100/100
[Executioner - Passive]: When a cold-blooded officer attacks his own card, his attack power increases by 20
This type of card that special attacks your own team is called an execution card.
Although this effect may seem funny, it does have tactical value.
To give the simplest example, [Cold-Blooded Officer] combined with [Golden Bell User] can make it retire one round earlier and reveal the trump card.
Of course, this doesn't mean much, especially since it's not a sword card.
Another tactic is to deal with skills that can take away control of cards.
Generally speaking, this seizure of control is also a form of control.
So there is a time limit for the round.
Just like other controls, it can only last for 1 or 2 rounds at best.
To be honest, I have never seen a 2-round Shi Li.
The significance of the execution card is that when you are worried that one of your cards is controlled by the opponent, you can use the execution card to kill it.
Or when it is your turn to seize the opponent's card, you can use the execution card to cause huge damage to it.
There are not many cards that have the function of seizing control, but it is not a bad idea to have a [Cold-Blooded Officer] in reserve.
Who knows which BOSS might be just this perverted.
For the third reward, I chose option 2 and took away a decent C-level card.
After finishing the arrangement, I walked into the portal.
More than an hour later, Shi Li appeared at the 9th level.
Level 9 is a rest level, and the scene is a small island in a stormy sea.
There was a small wooden house less than 10 square meters on the island. He pushed the door and walked in with ease.
"Hello again, Shili card player."
The Wind Chaser was already waiting there as always.
There was a small stove burning in the cabin, and she, still in her mermaid look, was sitting in front of the stove with a cup of hot tea.
"Let me lie down for a while."
Shi Li didn't say much and just lay down on the floor.
After being drenched in heavy rain for more than an hour, he finally had a chance to take a break.
Time-limited copies put people under great psychological pressure, and it is even more tiring because you have to run for your life every time.
Finally, we have a place sheltered from the wind and rain, where we can also make a fire.
"You can choose to strengthen the inscription from me."
After a while, the Wind Chaser finally couldn't wait any longer.
She wasn't the type to be quiet.
"Wait a moment."
When this was mentioned, Shi Li was no longer sleepy.
The last time he was at level 9, the Messenger of Balance gave him a hint, allowing him to defeat the BOSS without any inscription enhancement.
So this time , he planned to use the same trick again.
"Sister, tell me the truth."
"If I don't strengthen my current set, will I have a chance of getting through level 10?"
He raised his hand and took out the inscriptions and spell cards on his side.
There is only one spell card, [Sea Lich Skull].
Then the inscriptions are more complicated.
Because he found that even though he didn't have the effect of Wisdom 6 Inscription, he could still defeat the elite in the 5th level within the time limit by relying on the blessing of [Sea Lich Skull].
So later on I didn’t specifically choose wisdom inscriptions, but tried to choose useful and expensive ones.
There are 9 inscriptions in total, 6 of which are useful:
[Balance - Throttling★]: When your own card releases a control skill, restore 1 energy point
[Wisdom - Recycling Magic★]: For every 10 energy consumed by a card, 2 points are returned
[Wisdom - Brain Capacity Expansion ★★]: Card energy limit +1, gain 1 energy at the start
[Rage - Reason controls the body ★★]: Choose a rage card at the beginning of the game so that it will not lose health points
[Wisdom - Pure Energy Explosion ★★★]: When your own card consumes energy to release a damaging skill, it will inflict additional damage equal to its own score.
[Break the Power - Join Hands to Defeat the Enemy ★★★]: Choose 1 Break the Power card and 1 target card in this round. When the Break the Power card [Attacks], the energy gained will be transferred to the target card.
The remaining 2 2-stars and 1 3-star are useless to me.
"There's drama."
Unexpectedly, after reading his spell card + inscription, the Wind Chaser nodded directly.
"Huh?"
Such an attitude made Shi Li slightly stunned.
"What if I play this deck?"
So he quickly took out the deck he used to fight against [Time Mermaid].
First row: [Flag Master] [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] [Blind Swordsman]
Second row: [Ugly Man] [Sword Mourning] [Mantis Lady]
Last row: [Crowman] [Female Thief] [Male Thief]
Ace: [Wind Fox]
Scene: [Frog Pond] + [Big Fish Storm]
"No, no, the output of your deck is too low."
"Switch these two cards."
Unexpectedly, the Wind Chaser directly pointed out the [Ugly Man] and the [Wind Fox].
"Forehead……"
For this attitude, Shi Li couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Open and bright."
Look at the secretive Messenger of Balance back then, and then look at the Wind Chaser Messenger now. There is no harm without comparison.
"Don't you need to bring controls?"
"Need not."
"Don't you need to bring treatment?"
“No, no.”
"OKK."
In the end, Shi Li replaced [Ugly Man] with [Iron Stick] and [Wind Fox] with [Sneak Attack Master].
It directly changed from a deck that fights against [Time Mermaid] to a deck that fights against [Time-Devouring Anemone].
"Okay, I'll take care of you."
After watching the deck being arranged, Wind Chaser patted him on the shoulder.
Then he snapped his fingers and opened the golden portal behind him.
"Don't worry about anything after you go in, just get to work."
Even as she was watching him walk in, she didn't forget to give him a reminder.
After receiving the message, he immediately planned to go in without looking around and started running forward.
Before I actually started running, I saw a blue beam of light falling from the sky.
Buzz!
Then, the blue light card table was immediately spread out.
"Okay, I'll go."
Then when he saw the 3x3 grid on the other side, he became a little suspicious.
The first stage of this boss battle doesn't look easy to deal with.
With a wave of his hand, he laid out the preset deck and prepared for battle.
call out!
I saw a ray of light hit the enemy's card grid, and then a huge projection slowly appeared.
"It's not 9 monsters, but 1 BOSS..."
When he saw the BOSS projection slowly appearing, he understood.
What appeared in front of him at this time was a huge sea anemone monster.
【Swallowing Sea Anemone King】
Listen to the wind, attack 0, 10000/10000, 0/3
[Swallowing Time - Passive]: When swallowing, the time is reduced by 3 seconds for each round when the Sea Anemone King exists.
"this……"
Facing the BOSS's panel, Shi Li remained silent.
Look at the countdown again, 14:45.
The time left for me to fight is less than 15 minutes.
The opponent had no attack power at all in the first stage, so Shi Li directly took over the task and let the collective cards focus their fire on the BOSS.
At the same time, he began to calculate in his mind how much damage his deck could produce with this set of inscriptions.
Start with the first row of cards and count them one by one.
[Flag Master], attack power 35 points, output 35 points per round.
[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] has an attack power of 55 points. Benefiting from the influence of [Balance - Throttling★] and [Wisdom - Pure Energy Explosion★★★], it can continuously use [Two Combos], with an output of 110+40=150 points per round.
[Blind Swordsman], with an attack power of 35 points, benefits from [Break the Momentum - Defeat the Enemy Together ★★★], [Wisdom - Pure Energy Explosion ★★★] + BOSS energy recovery + its own [Enlightenment of the Wind ]. The situation is more complicated, so let's assume that it can deal a minimum of 70+30=100 damage per round.
[Iron Stick], 40 attack points, uses [Break the Momentum - Defeat the Enemy Together ★★★] to help [Blind Swordsman] recover energy, dealing 40 damage per round.
[Sword Mourning], 40 attack points, [Frenzy - Reason Controls the Flesh★★] prevents it from self-damage, dealing 40 damage per round.
[Manta Girl], 55 attack points, benefits from the influence of [Wisdom - Pure Energy Explosion ★★★], and relies on her own [We Are All Ants] to restore 5 health points. She can release [Open and Honest Slash] once every 4 rounds, which is equivalent to 67.5 damage per round on average.
[Crow Man], 25 attack points, benefits from the influence of [Wisdom - Recycling Magic★], which is equivalent to releasing [Wind of Righteousness] 4 times in 10 rounds to carry [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] or [Mantacanth], which averages out to 47 points of output per round.
[Female Bandit] + [Male Bandit], 60 attack power, the situation is a little complicated. If the benefits of [Armor Break] they apply are counted on them, the minimum output per round is 60+55=115 points.
[Master of Sneak Attack], 45 attack points, 45 output points per round.
【Big Fish Storm】, 40 points of output in 3 rounds, 13.333 points of output per round.
(Fix: [Thrown Out]: Every 3 rounds after Big Fish Storm appears, it can deal 20 damage to up to 2 adjacent targets in a row → 2 squares each)
"Oh my god, it turns out that pure wooden stake pounding is so enjoyable."
Shi Li added up all the numbers and felt a little surprised.
The total is: 35+150+100+40+40+67.5+47+115+45+13.3=652.8 points of damage.
It only takes 16 rounds to kill a BOSS with 10,000 HP.
16 rounds, about 10 seconds per round under hosting, that is 160 seconds.
Then another 48 seconds were deducted by the BOSS, adding up to 208 seconds = 3 minutes and 28 seconds.
Taking into account some odds and ends, it is not too much to say that it takes a full three and a half minutes.
"This seems to be the easiest boss battle I've ever had."
"It's all managed, there's no pressure to survive at all."
"The only thing to see is whether we can defeat the opponent before the time limit comes."
Shi Li sat down and watched the automatic battle, while also taking a look at the surrounding environment.
This is a small sand dune island in the storm, and as time goes by, the rising tide is swallowing it up little by little.
[Gurgle gurgle…]
Three and a half minutes passed quickly, and the BOSS's health was completely depleted.
But unlike the previous anemones that shrank when they died, Shi Li discovered that this one was actually expanding.
When it expands to its extreme, it explodes violently.
Bang!
Nine blue lights fell evenly on the grid.
"I'll go."
Then, Shi Li saw 9 sea anemones appear on the card table.
【Swallowing Sea Anemone】
Listen to the wind, attack 0, 1000/1000, 0/3
[Swallowing Time - Passive]: When swallowing, the time of the sea anemone is reduced by 3 seconds for each round it exists.
This scene is too much.
9 large sea anemones can deduct 27 seconds from one round, which is equivalent to half a minute.
This is much more powerful than the BOSS itself.
Fortunately, their health is only 1000.
You can kill one in 1.5 rounds.
After careful calculation, it takes about 14 rounds to resolve the battle, about 140 seconds.
For every reduction in the number of large anemones, 3 seconds will be deducted, showing a decreasing function distribution.
"If the boss battle didn't have three stages, I would have won for sure."
"Because I have a full 10 minutes to use these sea anemones. Even if we ignore the decreasing loss, they will take 27 seconds from me per round. 14 rounds will only take 378 seconds, or more than 6 minutes."
"It seems that the Wind Chaser did not deceive me."
After a rough calculation, Shi Li just lay down on his side.
Anyway, there is nothing I can do, so I can only leave it to fate.
In the end, he still got a little scared at the end of the battle.
After clearing out all 9 [Time-Swallowing Sea Anemones], they turned into 9 ordinary [Time-Swallowing Sea Anemones].
Fortunately, these [Time-Devouring Anemones] only had 500 health points, and his deck only took 8 turns to deal with them all.
When the game ended, there was still more than 1 minute and almost 2 minutes left.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Please select the following rewards after passing level 10]
[1. Select 1 card from this level, strength D]
[2. Select 1 card from the unknown deck, with a strength of E to C]
"I choose 1."
Shi Li didn't hesitate at all.
When he saw that the BOSS was the Sea Anemone King, he had already made this decision.
There are only three optional cards in this level.
I have encountered the [Time-Swallowing Anemone] before, so I just PASSED it.
The only ones left are the large anemone and the king anemone.
【Swallowing Sea Anemone】
Listen to the Wind, 10 points, D
Attack 10, 100/100, 0/2
[Swallowing Time - Passive]: When swallowing, one turn of the sea anemone is equal to 1.2 turns
【Swallowing Sea Anemone King】
Listen to the Wind, 10 points, D
Attack 0, 100/100, 0/3
[Swallowing Time - Passive]: When swallowing, the Sea Anemone King's attack power is reduced by 10, but its own 1 turn is equal to 2 turns
"Oh my god, this is much stronger than the [Time Swallowing Anemone]."
After looking at these two cards, Shi Li expressed a little surprise.
The previous [Time-Swallowing Anemone] 1 round was equal to 1.1 rounds, and he said he couldn’t understand it.
What I mean by not understanding is that I don’t know what this card can be used for.
And out of curiosity, he also brought the [Time-Swallowing Anemone] to the table for experiments during the intervals between levels.
Just as the name implies, it allows you to act twice in a row in the 10th round at the table.
What are the benefits of taking two consecutive actions? It means that you can do [Attack] x2, [Stand Still] x2, [Attack] + [Defense], [Stand Still] + [Defense], and [Stand Still] + [Attack].
However, [Defense] x2 is meaningless and does not increase the damage reduction.
Then there are some delayed effects, such as [Poison], [Fear], etc., which will take effect immediately in the 10th round at the table.
Some immediate effects, such as [Stun], will reduce its action by one, so it is generally profitable.
After all, [Defense] x2 is equivalent to not being able to be breached.
However, the card [Time-Devouring Anemone] also has obvious flaws.
When I took it to shuffle the cards, I found that all of them were busts without exception.
Yes, even the card swallowing will not happen, both cards will explode together.
This shows that the compatibility of this card is extremely poor.
Later he suspected that he might need another card with the same Time Card label.
In fact, he has a time card label in his hand.
An E-level useless card drawn from the previous ten thousand card pool.
I chose it purely because of the Time card label.
That card also exploded.
But later he chose another [Time Mermaid] in the subsequent level.
Sure enough, in the preview, rubbing two cards together will not result in a bust.
But the result is that the card is swallowed, and the [swallowing time] is gone.
Therefore, Shi Li guessed that the Time Card + Wind-Listening System would be needed to be compatible with the [Time-Swallowing Anemone].
In addition, he only loses 1 round in 10 rounds, which is not attractive to him at all.
However, it is different now. [Time-Devouring Anemone King] actually has 1 round equal to 2 rounds!
Although I don't know whether its negative effect of "Attack Power -10" is because its basic attack power is only 10 points, so 10 points are deducted, or whether it is really just a deduction of 10.
But this is definitely a rare good card.
Time mechanism, rare and useful.
Even if the conditions for shuffling the cards are harsh, even if the attack power is reduced to 0, it is still a good card.
Just imagine if Boss N's Wind-Listening Card [Interstellar Sentinel] had such an entry, then wouldn't it be possible to create Unit N with just one card in five turns?
If that were the case, it would be horrible.
"Nothing to say, I want all three."
After browsing the cards, Shi Li no longer hesitated.
Use all three chances to take down the [Time-Swallowing Anemone King].
After getting the 3 cards, I previewed them again.
As expected, it exploded like all the other cards.
Only the preview results of the two Listening to the Wind Time cards, [Time Mermaid] and [Time-Swallowing Anemone], did not explode, as they were swallowed by [Time-Swallowing Anemone King].
As for the rubbing between [Time-Swallowing Anemone King] and [Time-Swallowing Anemone King], they also swallow cards, and there is no change on the cards.
Now that the cards have been selected, there is no point in staying.
He walked into the white portal.
Buzz!
The sight blurred and I came to a pure white space.
The moment you enter, the prompt will sound immediately.
[Ding Dong! ]
[1 star is worth 10 wind listening points]
[2 stars worth 20 wind listening points]
[3 stars worth 40 wind listening points]
[Spell card value 30 Wind Listening Points]
[Inscription conversion in progress...]
[Obtain 220 Wind Listening Points]
[Converting spell cards...]
[Get 30 Wind Listening Points]
【Currently, there are 762 listening points】
[Based on the cumulative number, the amount of this instance is increased by 15 times]
"Great! This brings my limit to 24 times."
"I still have to thank Wind Chaser. If it weren't for her reminder, I would have strengthened some inscriptions."
"Now I can save more than 500 points directly."
Shi Li sat down happily, waiting for the arrival of the big reward.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Complete the entire zero level and get 5 card draw opportunities]
Then, a ball of light floated over.
However, it turned into a card and then split into two.
Two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen...
A total of ten thousand question mark cards appeared before him.
"OK, time to get to work."
Shi Li rubbed his hands.
He had a clear goal for this card drawing.
