Chapter 35 Guard Badge
6 card drawing rewards, more than the rookie copy.
There are fewer than in [City of Zombies], but it is understandable since there are no hidden missions this time.
A ball of light floated in front of me when I drew the card.
Whoosh!
Cards flew out from the ball of light and hovered in the air.
The number of cards is also between the two copies, 250.
"Let me see what good cards there are."
Raise your hand and press one.
【Meow meow meow! 】
A projection of an armored cat-headed man holding a green shield jumped out of the card.
He was very familiar with this projection.
Among the six standard members of the Ancient Temple Guard, there is always one who holds this kind of shield.
【Cat-headed Guard】
Break, 25 points, E
Attack 25, 100/100
"Rubbish."
He didn't even want to take a second look and turned to the next card.
【Woof woof woof! 】
This time it was a kobold holding a blast fork.
[Kobold Guard]
Break, 35 points, E
Attack 35, 100/100
“Same rubbish.”
Even though this [Kobold Guard] has 10 more attack points than the [Cat Guard], in his eyes there is actually not much difference.
Many times, a higher score on a card doesn't necessarily mean it's better.
The key to a deck is a combination, and the score cap needs to be taken into consideration.
If you put in high-scoring cards, you have to put in low-scoring cards to lower the average score.
So the quality of low-scoring hands is just as important as high-scoring hands.
I flipped through more than 20 pictures, and all of them were [Goblin Guards] or [Cat-Headed Guards], which was expected.
After all, these guys are the most numerous in the ancient temple.
"Finally, a different one."
After previewing five more, he saw something new.
【Woof woof woof! 】
This is a Kobold projection that is slightly stronger than the normal team members.
[Kobold Captain]
Rage, 35 points, D
Attack 35, 100/100
[New Soldiers Gathering - 60 HP]: The Kobold Captain and the Catman Captain summon a row of up to 3 [Trainee Soldiers]
When I clicked on [Intern Recruit], the panel was not very good.
Its projection was a dog-headed man without armor, holding a wooden weapon, looking like a militiaman.
【Trainee recruits】
Rage, 10 points, E
Attack 10, 10/10
Even the health points are only 10 points.
It wasn't long before he pulled out another one.
【Cat-headed Captain】
Rage, 25 points, D
Attack 25, 100/100
[New Soldiers Gathering - 60 HP]: The Cat-Headed Captain and the Dog-Headed Captain jointly summon a row of up to 3 [Trainee Soldiers]
This card is not much different from [Kobold Captain].
Cards like [Kobold Captain] and [Cat-Head Captain] are called summoning cards.
These are cards that can summon secondary units.
Generally, summoning cards are only available at relatively high grades, such as C grade or above.
D-level summoning cards are still very rare, and this is the first time Shi Li has seen one.
However, these two cards are not ordinary summoning cards, but linked summoning cards.
As the name implies, there is a linkage effect between them.
That is, to complete the summoning, both cards must be present and revealed.
Although being able to summon a row of cards at once may seem intimidating, the price you pay is actually quite high, as each card consumes 60 health points.
Perhaps it is precisely because of several harsh conditions combined together that the rare situation of D-level summoning cards occurs.
"If you take both together, you can still consider it."
First push out two cards as alternatives.
In the following previews, there were more than one picture of [Goblin Captain] and [Cat-Headed Captain], which was also within Shi Li’s expectations.
He knew that in the card pool of this copy, only the Guardian was worth looking forward to.
With the help of the vehicle, I basically traveled through the entire ancient temple in these three days.
I learned that there were ten guards in total .
However, he has only seen four of them in person, and he doesn't know whether the ones he hasn't met will enter the card pool.
And let alone things you haven’t seen before, sometimes even things you have seen before may not necessarily enter the card pool, the fire truck last time is an example.
But when he previewed a card, Shi Li quickly found out that he was wrong.
It's not just the guards who are worth looking forward to.
I also forgot the existence of one person, that is James.
[Arrest them all! ]
The card projection showed a woman with a neck longer than her body. Who else could it be but her?
"It turns out that she is really half an official."
Seeing the name of the card, he touched his chin.
[Guard Adjutant]
Balanced, 25 points, D
Attack 25, 100/100
[Tracking Secret - Passive]: When the Guard's lieutenant reveals his card, he can select a card to [Lock]
(【Lock】: Makes the target unable to be replaced)
To put it more clearly, the target selected by [Guard Lieutenant] cannot be replaced, especially during the card substitution phase.
“It’s an interesting and relatively rare effect.”
“But the value of its use is hard to say.”
He was neither optimistic nor pessimistic about this functional card.
Admittedly, not allowing your opponent to replace your cards is a pretty good effect.
But the problem is that the conditions of use are quite harsh.
After all, no one has X-ray vision.
Not to mention the three corresponding substitute cards, even the covered cards themselves cannot be seen.
When facing an unknown card situation, [Lock] is basically meaningless.
Unless it requires extremely strong prediction, Shi Li himself is not sure that he can achieve that level.
"But it has a rare effect, so it's definitely worth collecting one."
"List it as an alternative first."
He pushed this card out as well.
Continuing the preview, it was still full of cat-headed people and dog-headed people.
It wasn’t until halfway through the preview that I finally found the first Guardian card.
"Good cards."
Just one look and he was delighted.
【Reading is the source of strength】
The fox-headed man in the projection stood elegantly and intellectually, holding a book in his hand.
It was the fox-headed guard that he had met before.
【Fox Head Guard Officer】
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, C
Attack 30, 100/100, 3/3
[Reading Accumulation - Passive]: When the Fox Head Guardian reveals the card, gain 3 energy points
[Vine Seed Burst - 3 Energy]: The Fox Head Guard chooses 3 targets to reveal their cards, dealing 20 damage to each, causing them to become [Entangled] for 1 round.
([Entangle]: The target cannot [move])
"Although [Entangle] is a soft control and can only be used to restrain [Move], but controlling three at a time is quite powerful."
“If combined with a group attack card that increases damage to control, it can create a very good combo.”
"Moreover, it is a Wind Listening card, and it comes with a full charge at the start. This card is a top-quality C-grade card."
He was very satisfied with this card.
However, just in case, it was not drawn directly, but put forward as an alternative.
I continued the preview and soon discovered another Guardian card.
Look at me!
A mighty tiger-headed monk jumped out of the card, glaring angrily.
"This card is just... okay."
The Tiger Head Guard's card is slightly inferior.
【Tiger Head Guard】
Balanced, 35 points, C
Attack 35, 100/100
[Fighting Start - Passive]: When the Tiger Guardian reveals the card, he can choose a target and make it fall into [Fear] for 2 rounds.
[Momentum Exhausted - Passive]: After 3 rounds of unveiling, Tiger Guardian's attack power -15
(【Fear】: The target is forced to 【Defend】 in the next round)
With good control effects, and relatively poor negative entries.
"It's better than a useless D-rank card."
"Alternative alternative, listed as an alternative."
This card was also released.
So far, Shi Li has previewed nearly 200 cards.
Five of them were selected as alternatives.
I don’t know if there will be one or two more options among the remaining 50+ cards.
As expected, he discovered the new Guardian card again after just a few previews.
[Crackling…]
In the card projection, there is a petite female rabbit-headed person chewing a carrot.
He had met this guard officer twice in the dungeon, but he had never seen him take action, so he had no idea of his specific strength.
"As a guard officer, he is only a D-rank card. Isn't that too cheap?"
"And this card is too bad."
"How did she become a guard officer?"
Pursing his lips, he also listed it as an alternative.
Yes, the mood party is here again.
Rather than getting an ordinary E-level card with no skills, he thought it would be better to get a weird one like this.
Of course, this choice is definitely not because the appearance of this card is a female rabbit-headed person.
And if someone really collects this card just for its appearance, then he or she is probably already a full-level Fury fan.
After all, this is a female rabbit-headed person, not a bunny girl.
Finally, all the cards were previewed, and the results were a bit disappointing.
There are only three Guardians in this card pool.
All the alternative cards he picked became the main ones.
So the cards I drew this time (?) are:
[Kobold Captain] - D
[Cat-headed Captain]-D
[Guard Adjutant] - D
[Rabbit Head Guard Officer]-D
【Fox Head Guard】－C
【Tiger Guard】－C
What he wanted most was actually the card of the wolf-headed guard officer.
Cards that can single out and control must be very strong.
Unfortunately, that card did not appear.
【Card selection completed】
【Please receive the Cube Coin reward】
After drawing the card, the cubic coins floated over.
"523, that's a lot."
Shi Li took the money and curled his lips.
Just talking about this copy, I suffered a financial loss.
I spent 2000 and finally got back 500+.
However, we should not only look at the present, so don’t worry too much about it.
Buzz!
His body gradually began to weaken and he left the copy.
Back to reality, it’s still the same hall.
It's just that there are empty seats everywhere, and the crowd has become sparse.
There are only 12 contestants left who are eligible to sit here.
Everyone else was asked to leave.
However, the eliminated contestants basically did not leave. They all stood at the door of the hall, staring inside with resentment in their eyes.
In particular, there is a mechanical creature among them whose eyes are laser lights.
Those two real gazes left two red spots on Shi Li's face, which felt a little hot.
In fact, not only the eliminated contestants, but even the surviving contestants were either stealing glances at him or looking directly at him.
This atmosphere is obviously wrong.
So he looked at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart. To put it bluntly, he was pretending to be dead.
Fortunately , the person in charge came in after a while.
He then signaled the staff to drive away all the eliminated contestants.
The person in charge stepped onto the stage and said, "I hope some contestants will pay more attention in the future and not fall asleep in the detention area."
These words were obviously directed at Shi Li.
He took the longest time to draw the card, causing everyone else to wait after they came out.
After chasing someone in a car in the ancient temple for a whole night, what else could he have done but fallen asleep?
"I believe everyone knows that some unexpected situations occurred in this dungeon competition."
Then the person in charge's second sentence was still about Shi Li.
I didn’t expect that such a ruthless person would appear in this year’s Rising Star Comprehensive Competition.
The plan was to select 32 people to advance to the next round, but the number was cut by more than half.
Oh, no, more than half of them were killed.
A total of 88 contestants were eliminated, of which more than 70 died directly or indirectly at the hands of Shi Li.
It is estimated that they will not want to see the sprinkler truck or hear the song "Orchid Grass" for a while.
You have to know that the idea of advancing by eliminating others is not something that no contestant has ever considered in the past.
But thinking and doing are two different things.
Although he took advantage of the right time, place and people in the "Superpower Prison" copy, Shi Li's actions still shocked the audience.
To be honest, the person in charge is actually grateful to Shi Li.
Because she has been organizing the Rising Star Comprehensive Competition for many years, this is the first time that such a crazy copy competition has appeared.
It really boosted the popularity of their Rising Stars Competition, and they will definitely be able to sell more tickets next year.
No, we can sell more just from the subsequent events of this year.
It is estimated that the audience seats for the subsequent rounds of card games will be packed, and the ticket revenue will be a considerable amount, and her commission will be much higher.
Thinking of this, the person in charge adjusted his glasses and continued.
"So our schedule will be reduced later in the season."
"Skip 32 to 16 and start directly from 16 to 8."
"And because there aren't enough people to distribute them evenly, there will be four byes."
As she spoke, she signaled the staff to bring up a lottery machine.
A total of 48 balls are piled up inside the transparent drum of the lottery machine.
There are numbers from 1 to 12 on the balls, with 4 balls for each number.
"We'll draw lots to decide the four people who will have byes."
"The remaining 8 people will need to compete to decide the remaining 4 spots."
"The number is equal to your respective ranking in the dungeon."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused some commotion among the contestants.
"Fuck, this is all about appearance."
"12 out of 4, probability 33.333%, I hope I'll be picked."
"It's a great deal to be selected."
Players at their level don’t have a lot of deck depth.
Not only because you might lose, but even if you win, you might expose your main deck.
Therefore, fighting one more battle than others is a disadvantage.
The only two relatively calm people present were Heiyan and Shi Li.
Black smoke because the deck is far deeper than these class players.
Therefore, he was not worried about having to play one more game. After all, without the 32 to 16 round, it was already equivalent to gaining a game for free.
As for Shi Li, he didn't think that the lottery machine could draw his number 12 at all.
Because he knew that he had no luck and that such good things would never happen to him.
Now he just wants this process to end quickly so that he can go home, lie on the bed and shuffle the cards comfortably.
So at the signal from the person in charge, the staff began to shake the machine.
Gulugulugulu...
Under the blowing of turbulent air, the number balls in the transparent drum suddenly jumped around in a mess.
As soon as the staff pulled the trigger, the airflow increased instantly.
The four numbered balls were flushed into the extraction pipe one after another.
"First ball, number 12!"
The staff announced the first lucky winner of this time.
"The second ball, um, number 12!"
"The third ball...Number 12."
"The fourth ball? Or number 12?"
When the result came out, almost everyone present was dumbfounded.
"???"
This naturally includes Shi Li.
What is going on here?
That means I can have 4 byes, right?
