Chapter 445: 3+1 Deck Combination
The 3-minute countdown goes back second by second.
Although they cannot speak, many contestants have already started to take action.
Some of them looked very nervous, moving around quickly in a small area.
Some were calmer and found a suitable corner on the edge to observe everyone secretly.
Some were very indifferent or even in a daze, just standing there motionless, like Shi Li.
Others are more bizarre.
Although the movement seems chaotic, it actually contains some kind of pattern.
There is a kind of insect in nature that has very similar behavior to this.
They lack the means of communication, so they can only convey information to their companions by flying trajectory arcs with certain characteristics.
Apparently, when communication was impossible, some teams came up with clever solutions.
That is to identify oneself through a pre-arranged course of action.
However, the other contestants present were not fools either, and many of them quickly began to imitate various movement trajectories.
For a moment, the arena was in chaos.
A bunch of small balls of light were running around like molecules in motion.
Buzz! x36
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and all the contestants were randomly assigned a position again.
Before they could react, they received a system prompt.
[Ding Dong!]
Please note.
Communicating in any way before the game begins will be considered cheating.
Once confirmed, the entire team will be disqualified immediately. 】
As soon as this message came out, everyone suddenly became quiet.
Almost no one dared to walk around anymore, and they just stayed where they were without moving.
I was afraid that I would be mistaken for conveying my identity and be directly judged as the loser.
So the countdown starts again.
Although it was also silent, it didn't feel that quiet when everyone was moving.
In this atmosphere, the countdown suddenly seemed long.
As time passed by second by second, the countdown finally ended.
But in such an atmosphere, everyone was very cautious.
He kept looking at the other players but didn't take any action.
This caution comes from both being vigilant against unknown opponents and being worried about accidentally killing one's teammates.
In this case, the player who takes the first action is likely to be extremely confident.
So no matter which small light group moves first, the other small light groups around it will subconsciously keep their distance.
Perhaps this kind of confidence is just bluffing, but no one is willing to take the initiative to try it.
As a result, the situation on the field soon became uneven.
One party was wandering around the ring, while the other party was dodging intentionally or unintentionally.
Among them, those small light balls that were previously hiding in corners or in inconspicuous remote locations became everyone's main targets of attack.
Because compared to the small light group that dares to take the initiative to attack, this type of player is the other side.
It represents lack of confidence.
Without strength, one naturally lacks confidence.
Of course, it is also possible to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Shi Li was one of those who stayed still.
It's not that he lacks confidence, nor does he want to pretend to be a pig or anything.
I'm just too lazy to move.
Under this competition system, you have no way of knowing who your opponent is before entering the game.
In this case, there is no point in being the active party or the passive party.
Anyway, you don’t know who the other person is.
As a result, a strange situation arose.
Shi Li's stillness made many passing contestants feel uneasy.
He stayed like this for several minutes, but no one came to challenge him.
In a short while, a series of card table barriers were erected on the stage.
Shi Li counted them and found that there were 17 of them.
That means that now there are only himself and one other player who have not entered the game.
Moreover, through the gaps between several barriers, he could clearly see a small ball of light just sitting there quietly.
It was as if he was looking at himself.
In an instant, the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
You have to know that the competition system in this round is not about who kills more enemies.
The competition is about who can stand on the ring longer.
Therefore, avoiding unnecessary battles is the best strategy.
There are currently 17 poker games going on.
In other words, if Shi Li and his opponent do not play a game of cards, they can basically be sure to be in the top 19.
But if the game were to be played now, one person would be in the top 18, while the other might not even make it into the top 20.
It is a win-win strategy to tacitly pretend that each other cannot see each other.
Unlike the contestants themselves, the audience outside the venue can actually see the code name of each small light ball.
Especially for the balanced team, the director was very considerate and marked the player number as Wang Defa.
In the studio in Lanlan City, two commentators were also paying attention to Shi Li's actions.
Hunchback Sister: [It seems that the two contestants are planning to sit tight. ]
Director Feng: [It's a pity. It would be interesting to see them fight.]
Sister Hunchback: [It has just started, and contestant Ruixue is going to face No. 1 Wang Defa? This is too cruel. ]
Yes, originally when it was just the two of them left, the audience was quite looking forward to it.
The number one player of the Balance Team versus the number one player of the Wisdom Team.
Even if it is a simple 3+1 game, this gimmick alone is enough to attract people.
Unfortunately, the two sides quickly reached a tacit understanding and did not play the card game.
Then the 17 ongoing card games also showed good tacit understanding.
In order to survive longer in the ring, most of them chose to play slow-paced games.
The so-called slow pace does not refer to tactical slowness.
Instead, in every actionable stage of each round, try to drag the time limit to the end.
In this way, the game time can be relatively longer.
In the past, a 3+1 game would be over in about 10 minutes or less.
As a result, this time Shi Li waited for nearly 20 minutes, but no duel was over yet.
Fortunately, he had experienced enemies like the God of Patience, so this was just a small scene.
At this moment, one of the 17 card tables.
The little girl looked at the cards in front of her and felt bitter.
Because he recognized the opponent's card, the opponent turned out to be a teammate from the Balance team.
In this round of the competition, meeting teammates is of course the worst outcome.
This is especially true for people with small eyelashes.
If he wins, he will further solidify his title as the God of Civil War.
If I lose and am not even a god of war in the civil war, then what am I?
If it's just to delay the round time limit, then there's nothing wrong.
However, if both sides deliberately play passively and do not attack simply to waste time, the rules of this round will be triggered and both will be sent off.
Not to mention both parties, even if it is just one party, it won’t work.
It feels like this rule was set up entirely for Huichun. Otherwise, once he gains an advantage, he can rely on the healing cards to win forever.
And so, I waited for almost 30 minutes.
The first game of cards was finally over.
Buzz...
The card table barrier gradually retracted, revealing a small ball of light remaining inside.
Seeing that two other light balls on the ring had finished their battles besides himself, the contestant couldn't help but be stunned.
But after counting the number of people present, he found something wrong and suddenly realized it.
One after another, more and more winners appeared on the field.
Most of the winners who remained were relatively calm. When they saw that the number of people on the field was not right, they felt that this seemed to be a good tactic.
Under this competition system, the fewer battles the better, and it is better not to fight.
If you don't fight, there's no risk of being eliminated.
However, there are also some people who are very confident in themselves, or are rough-minded and don’t think too much.
As soon as they won, they immediately looked for new opponents to start the game.
There are still a dozen contestants left, all of whom are sitting still.
"Looks like I have to take action too."
Looking at this scene, Shi Li knew that he couldn't wait any longer.
If he continues to drag it out, it will eventually be disadvantageous to him.
Because I have no wins and others have 1 win.
Sure enough, as soon as this thought came to my mind, the organizer sent a new system message.
[Ding Dong!]
Please note that this is to prevent negative play.
Every 30 minutes, the player with the fewest wins will be automatically eliminated.
Those who are tied for the same number of wins will be eliminated together.
The person who conducts the game is not included in this list. 】
Sure enough, the organizers had anticipated this situation.
This means that if you remain passive and don't play the game, you may be eliminated.
But if you are in the hand, you will not be eliminated .
The best way is to hedge in the game every time the 30-minute moment comes.
Of course, starting a card game involves taking risks.
As soon as this system prompt was sent, Shi Li saw Ruixue taking action on the other side.
She randomly found the nearest small ball of light and started a card game.
So he was not to be outdone and picked the nearest contestant.
Buzz!
The card table barrier suddenly stood up, and blue light spread out to form the card table.
Shi Li had already prepared his deck of cards, but he still put them all down before the final deadline.
Judging from the table, the same is true for the opposing player.
Due to restrictions on the rules, even verbal communication is not allowed in this round of the game.
The unveiling phase has arrived, and both sides are waiting for the new deadline to approach before starting the unveiling.
However, the other party may be afraid of timeout or lack patience.
So in the end, it is the party that unveils the card first.
[Boom boom…]
The opponent's left card was revealed, and a heavy armored vehicle slowly drove out.
When Shi Li saw this card, he first breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he recognized it, at least it was not his teammate's card.
【Magical Wind Armor Car】
Wisdom, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100, 3/3
[Heavy Armor - Passive]: When the Magical Wind Armor Car is attacked by an alien card, 30 points of [Shield] will be activated.
[Heavy Armor Pressure - Passive]: The Magical Wind Armor Car makes the card in front of it continuously gain 10 points of [Fatigue]
[Car Body Explosion - 3 Energy]: The Magical Wind Armor Car selects 1 target and makes it [Exit] together with itself.
From this card, the opponent's tactics are basically clear at a glance.
We took the route of strong attack at the beginning.
But the combination of entries is not very good, and it is still a B-level card with few entries.
The entry [Heavy Armor] means that if it is attacked by a wild card, 30 points of [Shield] will appear.
When attacked by a wild card, [Shield] is triggered.
When attacked by wild cards + non-wild cards, [Shield] is triggered.
Only attacked by non-wild cards, [Shield] will not be triggered.
In a 3+1 deck, this entry is basically 100% triggered.
But [vehicle body explosion] is somewhat conflicting with the other two entries.
Since you can take away other people's cards at the beginning of the game, what's the point of the survival entry?
Let’s talk about the skill [Car Body Explosion] again. It is very similar to [Wilson’s Fire Boy].
Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.
But overall, Shi Li thinks that [Wilson's Boy] is more advanced.
Because it can hit 2 targets, plus its own output this round, a total of 30+60+60=150 damage.
Now for this [Magical Wind Armor Car], you can feel that the player has given it a lot of thought.
The general meaning is that if the opponent's card has no value to take away, then it will go for survival and play defensive counterattack.
If the opponent's card is obviously too strong, just take it away.
[Boom boom…]
As a result, the opponent's card on the right was another identical [Magical Wind Armor Car].
“That’s interesting.”
In Shi Li's opinion, the difference between one self-destruct card and two self-destruct cards is huge.
[Divine power, invincible! ]
A man in a tight uniform walked out from the card.
In addition to the tight-fitting uniform, they also wear a simple mechanical exoskeleton that covers the entire body.
There are many slots and holes on the exoskeleton, which looks like a device that can be used to load and unload something.
【Land Combat Expert】
Wisdom, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 3/1
[Expert - Passive]: When a Land Combat Expert reveals his card, he gains an extra 2 energy points, and his health is fully restored in the next round after using a skill.
[Thunderstorm - 3 Energy]: Land Combat Expert makes this round's attack have a [Stun] effect. Can be used when there is no card on the left side of the team.
[Weasel - 3 Energy]: Land Combat Expert grants [Super Armor] to the player in this round. Can be used when there is no card on the right side of the team.
[Firepower - 3 Energy]: Land Combat Expert increases the maximum HP by 50 and the attack power by 20. Can be used when there is no card in the group.
3 Active skill cards, relatively rare.
[Expert] increases the energy limit of this card to 3/1, which is enough for it to release one skill.
However, if you want to use charging cards to use three skills consecutively, it is unrealistic.
Unless there is a card that can increase the energy limit, such cards are very rare.
As soon as this card came out, Shi Li finally understood the opponent's tactical intentions.
As for the opponent's three cards, their combination can indeed lead to very flexible tactical changes.
The most direct tactic is for the [Magical Wind Armor Car] on both sides to take away one powerful card from the opponent.
Then he used the [Land Combat Expert] of [Firepower] to transform into a numerical monster and fight against the opponent.
“Not bad, no wonder you can beat one player.
The changeable style of play at the beginning is really hard to deal with."
Shi Li gave the other party a good recognition.
But he is not afraid of this combination.
Because the first row of cards on my side, from left to right, are...
【Guguguga! 】
【roar!】
【Friendship comes first, learning comes second. 】
[False Saint] + [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] + [Master of Sneak Attack].
Come on stage.
As soon as these three cards were revealed, Shi Li could see that the movement of the small light ball on the opposite side paused significantly.
Because the two cards [False Saint] and [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] have exposed his identity.
Obviously, the other party knew that they had hit a wall.
