Chapter 42: Are You Still Allowing Me to Have Fun?
As a new employee, Shi Li’s authority over the simulated deck in the card show hall is at the lowest level.
I had never seen this kind of card when I was on Blue Star.
But at least he knew him.
Scenario cards are cards that can add extra benefits to the deck through scenarios.
It has no points, but only occupies a special scene card slot, like the one in front of you.
[Barbarian Territory]
Scene, D
[Power of Wild Shell Unity]: In this round, the same target will receive an additional 10 points of [True Damage] for every 3 direct attacks from Wild Shell.
(【True Damage】: cannot be offset or reduced by any defensive means)
Don't underestimate the mere 10 points of damage. The key is that this is [real damage] and cannot be reduced by [defense].
And if the opponent's six regular cards are all Savage Shells, Shi Li can actually be sure that this will be the case.
Then in an ideal situation, it is equivalent to the opponent dealing 20 more damage than you per round, which can basically be regarded as a 230-point deck fighting a 210-point deck.
"How about this scene card of mine?"
After Heiyan unveiled the sign, he looked at Shi Li with a smile.
“It’s pretty impressive.”
Shi Li didn't tell lies either.
If this is 4+1, I'm doomed.
Black Smoke was very happy to be recognized by his opponent.
"I wonder where your trump card is hidden."
He felt that he was in control.
“My trump card is everywhere.”
Shi Li replied expressionlessly.
Want to deceive yourself with words?
You've got the wrong person. This is like showing off your knowledge in front of an expert.
“Hehehe…”
Faced with such an answer, Heiyan could only smile awkwardly.
The other party's lines, tone and expression were flawless.
So the two of them stopped talking for the time being and started to operate the card game.
After the behavior selection is completed, the cards of both parties begin to interact.
【clang clang! 】
【Brother! 】
[Beep beep beep beep~beep beep beep~]
-26, -35, -10
The iron rods hit the head, the sprinkler trucks rammed, the brothers punched, and the target they chose to attack was the Barbarian Shell Scout on the right.
Even though the sprinkler truck is very powerful in the dungeon, it is very weak on the card table, with only 10 points of damage.
However, the animation effect made Heiyan feel a little creepy.
【Squeak!】x3
As for Black Smoke's choice, it is to let three cards attack the Brotherly Beast.
Shi Li had anticipated this result a long time ago, and he did not intend to let [Brotherly Funeral Beast] defend.
Because under the effect of [Barbarian Shell Territory], as long as the opponent wants, it will only take 2 rounds to focus fire on [Brotherly Funeral Beast] and achieve the goal.
Considering this, it would be more cost-effective to let it fight for two more rounds before dying.
So after a round of action, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Scout][Solid Shield][Scout 29]
VS
【Iron Stick】【Brother 10】【Waterwheel】
"You play cards very sensibly, but I still have the upper hand in this round."
It seemed that he was a little excited about reaching the finals, so he talked a lot about Black Smoke.
"Let's unveil the plaque."
Shi Li, on the other hand, acted very quickly.
The card he chose to reveal was the cover card behind the [iron rod].
【Keep reading! 】
The [Fox-Headed Guardian] holding a novel walked out from the light column on the card.
"Want to use AOE to reduce my deck's health? No problem."
Black Smoke seemed to have expected this and revealed the hidden card behind the low-health scout.
[Squeak!!!]
Sure enough, another wild shell insect beast jumped out of the card.
It has a slender body, stands on three legs, and has two whip-like tentacles.
[Barbarian Shell Double Whip]
Balanced, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100
[Left and Right Whips - Passive]: The attack of the Barbarian Shell Double Whip is 2 stages, and each stage deals 15 damage
As soon as this card came out, Director Wang outside the venue immediately gave it high praise.
Director Wang: [This card... is amazing! ]
Director Wang: [Its two-hit effect can trigger more scene card effects faster! ]
Director Wang: [Contestant Shi Li is in danger! ]
"I put a lot of thought into collecting a complete set of Barbarian Shell decks."
"I ran through several Barbarian Shell copies before I finally got them all."
Heiyan completed his behavioral choice while chatting and laughing.
"Really? It seems like you made quite a sacrifice for this."
Shi Li took a look at the [Barbarian Shell Double Whip] and breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, what he fears most is the opponent revealing a restraining card or a healing card.
There are obviously no restraining cards now, and the shortcoming of my deck is that it has no endurance. If the opponent plays a healing card, it will be even more difficult for me to beat him.
The sacrifice he referred to was that Black Smoke seemed to have given up the reasonable combination of the lineup in order to match the scene cards.
Of course, it is also possible that the opponent will reveal the treatment card later, but the probability is small.
When the action round comes, the first to act is the Fox-Head Guard.
【Tie them all up! 】
-20, -20, -10
The three targets she chose were the two scouts and the whip that had just been uncovered.
As expected, the low-health [Barbarian Shell Scout] chose [Defense].
At this time, its limbs were deeply inserted into the soil, and it crawled as low as possible, showing a defensive posture.
The other cards on Shi Li's side took different actions.
Brother Zang Beast + Sprinkler Truck chose to attack the low-health scout who had only 19 health left after being hit by AOE, causing 22.5 damage and taking it away.
Tiegun chose [Defense].
On the other side of the black smoke, he was also finishing off the enemy.
A Scout attacks the Brother Zombie, dealing 25 damage and taking it away.
The Strong Shield cooperated with the Long Whip to focus fire on the Iron Rod. The two cards successfully triggered the scene card effect of three attacks, causing 15+15+10 (true damage) = 40 points of damage to the Iron Rod.
In Cube Cards, if the damage overflows, it will not be passed on to the second card behind it, so how to reasonably distribute the damage while completing the last hit is a science.
After the final round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Cover】【Cover】【Double Whip 80】
[Scout 80][Solid Shield][Vacant Slot]
VS
【Iron rod 60】【Vacant space】【Water wheel】
【Fox head】【Cover】【Cover】
It was not visible during the battle at first, but when the cards were really revealed, it still gave the audience a little surprise.
Zhu Chichi: [Wow, after two rounds, Shi Li actually managed to achieve a balance? ]
Indeed, on the surface, both of them lose 40 health points and one card.
Don't say that you were able to turn the situation around by relying on the AOE of [Fox-Head Guardian], because no one knows what cards the two sides will reveal in the next round.
"sharp."
Even Black Smoke, his opponent, couldn't help but cast an approving look at Shi Li at this moment.
He got more points for revealing his cards and also had the effect of scene cards. He did not expect that such a balance would appear in the second round.
All I can say is that although the opponent across the table may not have a strong deck, he has a very good grasp of the amount of damage.
He feels inferior to me!
"Come and receive the unveiling."
However, Shi Li knew that he would not gain any benefit in the next round.
【Woof woof woof! 】
【Meow meow meow! 】
A projection of a humanoid figure wearing armor appeared on the card, but it had two heads.
One is a dog's head and the other is a cat's head.
[Two-headed Captain]
Rage, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100
[New Soldiers Gathering - Current 100% HP]: The two-headed captain summons up to 3 [Trainee Soldiers] in a row.
"Huh? You actually still have cards hidden?"
When Hei Yan saw this new card he had never seen before, he was stunned.
"There are many. The ones at the back are all new cards."
Shi Li spread his hands.
Black Smoke obviously didn't believe such remarks.
There is only one thing that he cares about more now.
That is where the opponent's trump card is hidden.
From the current perspective, the two columns on the left and right are the most suspicious.
Because there is only one [Two-Headed Captain] left in the middle, this card is a sacrifice card.
It needs to sacrifice itself to release skills. Logically, this kind of card should not be placed before the trump card.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the other party is playing a reverse psychological game on you.
“I really don’t understand.”
Shaking his head, he uncovered his hand.
Since you don’t understand, just go for it.
[Squeak! ]
An exceptionally loud cry of an insect or beast was heard, and a snake-like figure rose from the surface of the card.
Only its upper body is exposed from the card. It has a long, sharp mosquito-like mouthpart and its shell is covered with hooked barbs, making it look very ferocious.
"Oh my god, this is a bit shameless."
When Shi Li saw the other party's cards , he was speechless.
[Barbarian Shell Commander]
Chasing the Wind, 40 points, C
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/5
[Leader - Passive]: The attack power of the Barbarian Shell Leader is reduced by 10, and each round, it absorbs the energy of all the Barbarian Shells with lower scores than itself.
[Barbarian Shell Sweep - 5 Energy]: The Barbarian Shell Commander deals 30 damage to up to 3 targets in a row
This card can actually absorb the wind-chasing energy of other cards.
Fortunately, I killed a [Barbarian Shell Scout] first, otherwise its energy would be full in two turns.
[It appears! Black Smoke player pulls out the final card! ]
Seeing this card appear, Wang Defa's voice immediately became excited.
After both sides unveiled their cards, the third round of action began.
This time, Shi Li was not sure which card the opponent would use for [Defense], so he chose to disperse his firepower.
Use [Iron Rod] + [Water Wheel] for defense.
The fox-headed man attacked the Barbarian Shell scout, and the two-headed captain attacked the Barbarian Shell double whip.
The result was that the Scout took [Defense], but the Double Whip did not.
He was not unacceptable to such a result.
In his opinion, if the normal attacks of both cards hit [Defense], it would be a waste of output.
As for the black smoke on the opposite side, he chose to focus on the iron stick with the remaining three cards.
At the end of the third round, the situation was as follows:
[Cover][Command][Double Whip 50]
[Scout 65][Solid Shield][Vacant]
VS
【Iron Rod 5】【Empty Space】【Waterwheel】
【Fox Head】【Double Head】【Cover】
If this trend continues, Shi Li’s first row of cards will not survive the next round.
He was already able to foresee how the other party planned to implement its tactics.
The main thing is that in this round, [Barbarian Shell Commander] has absorbed 2 energy points from [Barbarian Shell Scout], plus the 1 point it recovered.
When the next round ends, it will recover 1 point and then absorb 1 point from [Barbarian Shell Scout], then it will have 5 full energy bars.
In the next round, all of his first-row cards will have been retired, and then [Barbarian Shell Commander] can slap him with 3 second-row cards.
However, Shi Li is not panicked, because he will have 5 cards in his hand in the next round. If the opponent wants to force a change, he can also take away two cards of the opponent in one round.
Outside the venue, two commentators were also analyzing the situation at the table.
Director Wang’s opinion is actually similar to Shi Li’s.
Zhu Chichi: [Director Wang, you mean that as long as we enter the next round, Shi Li's defeat will be completely revealed, right? ]
Director Wang: [Well, this is beyond doubt.]
Director Wang: [Although both sides still have one regular cover card to reveal, it basically does not change the situation]
Director Wang: [Everyone should note that Black Smoke’s trump card is most likely placed in the middle column, and now the first card in his middle column is not only a defensive card, but also full health.]
Director Wang: [Of course, if his style of play is too aggressive and he is too focused on quick attacks and blood exchanges, Shi Li still has a 0.01% chance.]
Director Wang: [Yes, that’s it]
Director Wang expressed his satisfaction with his speech.
Especially at the end, there is a little room left, which is both appropriate and not intrusive.
"If I just play steady, you won't stand a chance."
At the poker table, Heiyan also said something similar to Director Wang.
As soon as he finished speaking, the hand in the black mist reached out and opened.
However, the card revealed was not the regular cover card, but... a new scene card!
"!"
Shi Li understood what was going on at a glance.
Scene cards can be replaced.
By using different scene cards at different times, you can create different tactics.
At this time, the commentary booth had already exclaimed.
Zhu Chichi: [Oh my god! This is too scary! Black Smoke actually has two scene cards! ]
Director Wang: [This deck is so deep, it will definitely win the championship! ]
Even Director Wang didn't care whether to raise the flag or not, his call came from the bottom of his heart.
You have to know that under normal circumstances, scene cards will never appear in the Rising Star Comprehensive Competition.
What ’s more, two of them appeared at once!
Black Smoke did not disappoint me and exploded!
[Gurgle...]
Insect eggs emerged from the card table.
The brown barren soil was replaced by a space made up of brown flesh and blood.
"Oh my god, a C-level scene card."
At this point, Shi Li finally understood why Hei Yan called this deck his strongest deck.
[Barbarian Shell Lair]
Scene, C
[Barbarian Shell Healing]: Immediately restore 30 health points to the card with the lowest health on your side. Limited to 1 time in this game
[Barbarian Shell Nourishment]: Immediately restore 20 health points to a card with the second lowest health on your side. Limited to 1 time in this game
+30, +20
Two green healing numbers popped up on the heads of [Barbarian Shell Double Whip] and [Barbarian Shell Scout], increasing their health to 80 and 85 respectively.
It can be predicted that after the blood is restored in this round, the opponent will replace it with [Barbarian Shell Territory] again in the next round to continue to increase the output.
"Is this even fun for us?"
Shi Li suddenly felt very troubled.
