[Muscle Armor - Passive]: When a giant zombie [Defends], damage -10
“This…this, this, this!”
Heiyan's face suddenly turned dark, although his face was already black.
He never expected that the opponent's ace's health volume was even more exaggerated than his own.
400 points?!
He quickly calculated in his mind.
It takes 7 rounds for me to kill the opponent, but it only takes 5 rounds for the opponent to kill me!
No suspense!
Damn it! Why is this happening?!
"This is impossible!"
The old general finally shouted out the destined lines.
(I’m only one step away from getting that dungeon crystal…)
That beautiful white smoke face flashed through his mind with a chuckle.
Then it really disappeared like smoke.
"I... give up!"
Finally, those deep blue eyes dimmed.
He pressed the surrender button.
Click.
After a brief silence, the entire venue fell into an uproar.
"it's over?!"
"This, this is too sudden!"
"It was correct for him to surrender. I calculated that as long as the opponent doesn't make mistakes, his chance of winning is 0%."
"But...he just revealed his B-rank trump card!"
"Sure enough, the level of the card sometimes doesn't mean everything."
"But this guy Shi Li is too strong. The opponent is a demoted boss!"
"Yeah, he obviously didn't have any scenario cards, but he still managed to win."
"Alright, stop talking so much, just shout with me."
"666666!"
[Wow! I actually guessed it right! ]
[The champion of this year's Rising Star Comprehensive Competition has been born! 】
[I declare——it is contestant Shi Li～～～～! ]
In the commentary room, Zhu Chichi cheered excitedly.
【……】
Director Wang Defa's face turned pale.
The turn of the game is truly magical.
He never expected that Shi Li designed such a tactic to suppress the points and focus on high-scoring and high-health aces. The key is that the opponent actually has cards to support this tactic!
At this time, he had already seen the staff in the commentary room, who seemed to be whispering to each other and pointing fingers at him.
Faintly, words like "consecration" and "poisonous milk" were heard.
This made Wang Defa very upset, but he couldn't refute or get angry. He had to bite the bullet and put on an awkward smile, pretending he didn't hear it.
As the 100x projection on the stage was removed, the game was officially declared over.
"Thank you. This is a wonderful game of cards."
Shi Li nodded at the other party, then turned and left.
"Eh?! Aren't you going to tell me where I lost?"
Heiyan was stunned and asked hurriedly.
“That’s a paid item.”
Shi Li didn't even turn his head, but just waved his hand.
He knew from the beginning that the opponent's deck depth was far stronger than his own.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that what you finally paid out was 1B+3C+1D+2E, while the other party’s was 1B+2C+2D+2E.
In fact, the C-level [Brother's Beast] did not play any role at all, it was just equivalent to an E-level card.
What's more, the opponent was using a deck and took out two scene cards.
The difference in deck strength and depth between the two sides is really huge.
However, precisely because he had long known that there was a hardware gap between the two sides , Shi Li was thinking about how he could use the only cards at hand to make a comeback.
In the end, the only answer he got was - [Giant Zombie Beast].
This C-level card, which was originally supposed to be a cheap first-row card, was discovered to have a new purpose by him.
That is to take advantage of the opponent in terms of card position and life value.
To be more specific, when using the [Giant Zombie Beast] as a trump card, he can gain two advantages.
The first point is the advantage of the tablet position.
In a normal 6+1 game, there are 7 available slots.
The characteristic of [Giant Zombie] as the trump card makes his deck occupy a full 9 grids.
In a sense, it can be seen that he is using 9 cards to fight against the opponent's 7 cards.
The second point is the blood volume advantage.
When [Giant Zombie] is placed in the regular position, it has 200 health points and occupies 3 card positions, which is 100 health points less than the regular 3 cards with 300 health points.
But if it is placed in the ace position, then this disadvantage will turn into an advantage, and it will be transformed into a big blood cow with 400 health.
Without considering treatment, it is equivalent to him using his total health of 1,000 to attack the opponent's total health of 800.
These two points are the core ideas he planned to make up for the gap with Black Smoke's deck.
In addition, he used his acting skills, oh no, card skills, to seize a wave of flaws.
After meeting these conditions, it was finally possible to win the victory after a very difficult battle to the last man.
Next, after the host’s introduction, this Rising Star Competition came to its finale.
That's the award ceremony.
As the champion of this session, Shi Li naturally enjoyed cheers and applause when he took the stage again.
But what he cares most about is the championship reward.
The accumulated bonus is 15,000 cubic coins, a copy key, a bottle of E-level experience potion, and a chance to enter the association warehouse and choose any C-level material.
After receiving the bonus, Shi Li’s assets reached 18,000.
He thought that when the opportunity was right, he could go to the material store again to touch those B-level materials.
Experience potion is a potion that can increase experience points.
The price is not high, but it is often out of stock.
The association finally used its own channels to get two tubes for the champion and runner-up.
Shi Li drank it on the spot and reached level 4.
Then when he got the copy key, his face suddenly looked a little unhappy.
Because the requirement for this single-player copy is actually LV5.
This made Black Smoke standing next to him feel quite uncomfortable for a moment.
He wanted it, but didn't get it.
Others got it, but can't use it for the time being.
After completing the process on stage, the next step is the material reward.
So under the guidance of the staff, Shi Li took the lead in going to different warehouses.
It was called a warehouse, but when I arrived there, I found that it was just a small room that looked like an office converted from a warehouse.
There are built-in safes on all three walls.
"Player Shi Li, these are all C-rank material cards."
The staff entered the password and the safes opened one by one.
There are three safes, each containing about 200 cards, so the total number is 600+.
"Oh my god, this quantity is much more than what you can find in specialty stores out there."
Only then did he realize that he had underestimated the association's strengths.
"You're welcome, pick any one you want."
There was a hint of pride on the staff's faces.
Shi Li walked to one of the safes and suddenly turned his head back: "I have never seen much of the world, can I touch it casually?"
"sure."
The staff was laughing with sweat in their eyes.
You can even take out a B-grade card at the poker table, and you still have the nerve to say that you have never seen the world?
After getting permission, Shi Li touched the card in the first safe.
"But please pay attention to the time. We can only stay here for half an hour at most."
Just as he was about to have a good preview, he heard a reminder from the staff.
"OK."
In desperation, he had to change his strategy.
Originally, given his accumulated knowledge of material cards during this period, he did not expect to gain any actual enhancements to his main deck.
Since time is limited and there are many material cards, just preview the two main targets.
That's the sprinkler truck and the iron rod.
After these two cards are integrated with the materials, they may be more practical.
By narrowing the scope of the main cards, his preview became quite quick.
"Huh?"
After previewing nearly 400 cards, he suddenly stopped.
The material card in his hand is called [Highly Refined Iron].
[Highly Refined Iron]: Can improve the quality of ironware
It had an ordinary name and a simple introduction, but it was the best material in this warehouse, no, it should be said that it was the best material he had encountered since he had previewed the material.
It actually substantially improved the card quality of [Iron Rod] and made it a C-level card.
"This one is good, keep it for now ."
Resisting the urge to finalize the deal, he temporarily handed the card to the staff.
Then I previewed the remaining 200-odd material cards one by one.
"Hello, I want [Highly Refined Iron]."
After confirming that there was no material comparable to [Highly Refined Iron], Shi Li signaled to the staff.
"OK, wait a moment."
The staff member nodded and pulled out a flashlight-like instrument from his waist.
At one end of the instrument is a glass probe that resembles a six-star array.
The surface of those material cards has a six-star array pattern of the same size. This is a magical technology used to prevent theft.
The instrument is pointed at the card surface and it beeps.
"Congratulations, this card is now yours."
The six-star array disappeared, and he handed the card to Shi Li.
"Thanks."
After getting the card, Shi Li did not fuse it on the spot, but returned to his lounge.
There, the mushrooms were still waiting for me.
"Awesome, awesome, mushroom!"
"Congratulations, grass!"
“Master is awesome!”
As soon as he entered the door, he received congratulations from three non-humans.
"Basic exercises, just basic exercises."
Shi Li smiled and kicked away the straw man who tried to rush over to hug him, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go and have a meal."
"I knew you would say that. I even booked the location in advance!"
Mushroom still understands him very well.
"Master, so it's your treat tonight?"
"Of course."
So one person, one grass, one mushroom, and one history left the association.
When they heard that Shi Li was treating them, they had no intention of helping him save money. They didn't even take the bus and took a taxi directly to the most upscale hotel club in the city.
Mosaigo took the menu and ordered all the dishes with the word "mushroom" written on them.
The dish didn't have mushrooms, and the chef was forced to add mushrooms.
Fortunately, this wasteful behavior was stopped in time by Shi Li.
As for Cao Ren, he was very useless. He came to the most upscale hotel, but asked the waiter to go downstairs to pack milk tea for him.
Slime didn't need to eat, but seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he also ordered a few bottles of wine.
Mosaichou also secretly added wine into Caoren's milk tea, and the guy was completely unaware.
After the last meal, everyone was drunk and went to a KTV room upstairs from the restaurant.
The Slime was already drunk and limp, like a pool of mud.
Mosaichu turned into a red mushroom man, holding a microphone and howling like a ghost.
The straw man was quite drunk. He found a cigarette from somewhere and pretended to be serious, but he didn't light it.
Shi Li was relatively restrained just now and had not drunk too much.
At this time, he finally had time to take out the [Highly Refined Iron] and - [Iron Rod].
When two cards are placed together, the preview result is immediately displayed.
【Iron rod】
Break, 20 points, C
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/2
[Iron Products - Passive]: Iron rod's attack power +5
[Iron Products - Passive]: Iron rod's attack power +5
If he hadn't previewed it once before, he would have thought that he was drunk and his eyes were blurry.
This card is very interesting, it actually has two identical attributes.
But in terms of the effect of the cards, it is amazing.
It simply adds 10 points of attack power.
20-point cards, 30-point attack, simple, crude and affordable.
Bang!
He clapped his hands, and light overflowed from between his palms.
"It feels good."
After completing this task, Shi Li completely relaxed and let his body sink deeply into the sofa.
The fatigue from the intense concentration during the day's competition and the slightly tipsy state made him want to close his eyes and sleep.
But I couldn’t sleep because Mushroom’s singing was really unpleasant.
The tune is the same, but something doesn't seem right.
At this moment, the red mushroom man standing on the table was singing wildly, while the straw man was standing beside the table with a cigarette in his mouth, shaking his head and dancing along.
The song is "Take Everything You Want" by a singer named Hu.
It is said that this song was one of its specialties when it performed part-time with Cao Ren, but he has not had the chance to hear it in person.
[One year, two years, three years～]
[I have been silent~]
[It sounds so pitiful to say goodbye in peace~]
At this time, the song was about to reach its climax, when Mosaichu suddenly skillfully swung the microphone and put it to the straw man's mouth.
[Everything I see is sold at a discount, regardless of whether it is expensive or cheap, one after another, row after row, counted and eliminated, and the lights are turned off, damn! ]
A string of hot lyrics spurted out of the straw man's mouth like a string of cannonballs.
Mushroom: [We owe each other nothing~]
"?"
Shi Li sobered up almost immediately.
What the hell?
Is this still the straw man I know?
Originally, he thought that the singing show performed by these two people was nothing more than "The Most Exciting National Style", and the straw man was just responsible for saying "Stay, straw!" or something like that.
It turns out that he can't even speak clearly, but his singing is so good?
It is truly a mysterious species.
In the end, everyone continued drinking until late at night.
When Shi Li returned home and woke up at noon the next day, he found that the straw man was gone.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that I was so busy taking care of the unconscious Mushroom and Slime that I ignored the guy who was still able to move independently.
Fortunately, this guy finally returned home when he and Moshigu were having lunch.
It didn't look like it was missing any limbs, but its steps were unsteady, its hair was messy, and there were red lipstick marks on its face and body.
Before Shi Li could open his mouth to complain, his cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw it was a call from the manager of the card hall.
