Chapter 459 1V1 Poker Game
It was still the same quiet bamboo forest, and Shi Li was standing at the entrance of the pavilion.
"You're here again."
The wind-listening messenger sat in the pavilion, holding a cup of tea.
Although the other party's tone was flat, the word "again" seemed particularly sarcastic.
"Yes, I am here."
Shi Li was not annoyed, as this level of annoyance was not enough to cause any waves in his heart.
Compared to the first time, his deck combination has changed a lot now.
The magician brand, pig brand, monk brand and dragon brand were originally [Master Fahai], [Sheep God], [Sweeping Monk] and [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] respectively.
Today, he didn't carry any of the above four cards.
The card that replaced the wizard card is [Demon Hunter].
That’s right, there were three alternatives at that time.
[Master Fahai], [Horned Magician], and the [Demon Hunter] whose prototype is quite unreliable.
Through the experience gained from the previous few times, it was found that [Master Fahai] and [Horned Magician] both have their own limitations and cannot handle various trials very well.
So today he wanted to try [Demon Exorcist] to see if it would work.
【Demon Exorcist】
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Tianshi - Passive]: When the demon hunter attacks the demon card, the damage caused is +10
[Breath Holding - Passive]: This is the first time the Exorcist stops in this round. It does not take up any action.
[Quiet Heart Technique - Passive]: The first time the demon hunter stops in this round, he will recover an additional 2 energy points
[Thirteen Breaks - 3 Energy]: The demon slayer deals 30 damage to 1 target. If the target is a demon card, the demon slayer ignores [Defense] for the next 2 rounds.
He had already turned this card into an A-grade card.
Added [Hold Your Breath], a very valuable static-related passive for the Wind-Listening card.
It’s not that Shi Li didn’t want to give this entry to other cards, but the materials at that time were only compatible with [Monster Exorcist].
However, even if it becomes A-level, as a card collected in the early stage, it is not strong enough to be used in the field.
It only appears occasionally as a card to counter monsters.
In fact, Shi Li didn't know what characteristics this card would show after it became a puppet follower in the Trial of Listening.
Let’s see if we can perform well in the trial.
The original pig card used the universal label of [Beginning Stick] to bring [Kung Fu Sheep God] into the field.
Unfortunately, after many experiments, it was discovered that although [Kung Fu Sheep God] is very powerful, it is not suitable for use in the Di Ting Trial.
Aside from a few combat or agility levels, its performance is pretty average.
It can only be said that even S-level cards have their limitations.
Invincible at the poker table, but outside the table it depends on the situation.
The current Pig Brand Shili is a direct copy of the original [Shigun].
Because he accidentally triggered a hidden rule.
That is if the cards on the board cannot form a puppet with autonomous action capabilities, such as weapons and other props.
Then the players will equip these items themselves and conduct the trial.
To be more precise, it is a homogeneous puppet projection of the player himself.
In short, it will definitely not harm the player himself.
In terms of physical strength, Shi Li is definitely far inferior to [Yang Shi Shen].
But it wins in maneuverability.
Puppets are puppets after all. Their intelligence is virtual and they do not possess emotions or humanity.
In some trials, one may appear overly mechanical.
Even the puppet followers on the side of the Tingfeng Messenger are the same.
Therefore, letting Shi Li take control directly can often produce unexpected results.
There was originally only one candidate for the monk card: [Sweeping Monk].
But [Sweeping Monk] is really useless.
When it comes to fighting skills, he is not as good as the Sheep God, and is even on par with the Monkey King.
In terms of physique, he is also at the bottom.
I'm not very strong, but I know a little bit of Qigong.
Anyway, it's not outstanding, so Shi Li plans to change it today.
The one that was replaced was the A-level monk card that was just made recently, [Demon Monk].
The prototype of the "Demon Monk" is Shisan, who is a good friend and colleague of the prototype of the "Demon Hunter".
【Great Demon Monk】
Rage, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100
[Demon Spirit - Passive]: When the demon monk attacks normal creature cards, the damage caused is +10
[False Mercy - Passive]: When a card is retired, the demon monk gains 30 points of [Healing]
[Monk Chanting - 30% Max HP]: The demon monk attacks 1 target, causing it to be [Sealed] for 2 turns
[Instant Buddhahood - 100% of current HP]: The demon monk exits the game and silences 1 target for 3 turns
Compared to before, there is an additional active skill [Silence].
Silences the target for a long time at the expense of oneself.
It can be used when the health is low or when the opponent is about to counterattack.
It's like being about to exit the game anyway, but gaining an extra control skill.
The [Demon Monk] was made like this mainly for use in competitions.
It’s just that after I got the cards, there hasn’t been a suitable opportunity to play yet.
This card is similar to [Demon Hunter] and has not yet appeared in the Trial of Listening.
Mainly because [Sweeping Monk] is not very good, so he got the opportunity to appear.
The last dragon card replaces the [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] with itself.
The performance of [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] is actually not bad.
Its comprehensiveness is relatively high, and it is capable of handling many kinds of trials.
In this trial, he is the one who provides the bottom line.
But he felt that it was not enough and wanted to be stronger.
[Five-clawed Golden Dragon] + [Spiritual Master] = [Five-clawed Spiritual Dragon]
【Five-clawed Dragon】
Breaking momentum, 100 points, S
Attack 100, 300/300, 0/5
[Large Size - Passive]: Five-clawed dragon occupies 3 slots in 1 row, HP +200
[Red Dragon Scale - Passive]: The five-clawed dragon has the [Coating] effect
[Golden Claw Fist - 2 Energy]: Five-clawed dragon attacks the target, with [Stun]
[Golden Claw Scissors - 4 Energy]: Five-clawed dragon attacks the target, with [Full Penetration]
[Golden Claw Cloth - 2 Energy]: Five-clawed dragon attacks the target, with [Seal]
After several rounds of practical summary, he believed that [Five-clawed Spirit Dragon] was the best.
The card is reflected in the puppet follower, which is big and meaty. It has magic immunity when it is directly put into the ground, and it also has three special moves.
Finally, paired with the unchangeable [False Saint], these are the 5 cards he will use to participate in the trial today.
Being familiar with the steps and procedures, Shi Li directly started fighting with the messenger Tingfeng.
The first level is the wrist strength level.
Shi Li thought for 2 seconds and gave up the challenge opportunity.
Every time he encountered this wrist strength test before, he couldn't go far.
Because there are only a handful of minions in the deck that can defeat the Kirin Arm Robot.
Previously, both the Sheep God and the Golden Dragon could win, but after winning, they would lose a strong follower.
And now in my own deck, I am afraid that only the [Five-clawed Spirit Dragon] can fight against the robot.
If you use up all your hidden cards too early, you will definitely not be able to pass the level.
So he sent out the [Demon Hunter] to fight.
Just try it, what if this follower is good at strength and wins.
The result was undoubtedly a loss.
So the first of three chances was wasted so hastily.
The second challenge, this time the level is no longer a wrist wrestling level.
But enter the state of concentration.
After several attempts at the game, Shi Li thought he had experienced 95% of the levels.
He has encountered basically every kind of situation.
Entering the state of concentration refers to accepting the calcination of the fire in the alchemy furnace. The follower who persists longer will be considered the winner.
An ordinary mortal body cannot pass this level.
So [Demon Hunter] and [Great Demon Monk] can be ruled out.
What remains is to choose one from [False Saint], [Original Stick] and [Five-clawed Spirit Dragon].
After a brief thought, Shi Li decided to choose [False Saint].
[False Saint] cannot be burned to death at all, so it is the safest choice to let him fight this level.
The other two S-level cards are kept for other uses.
Sure enough, it was time to make an appearance in the second level.
The second level is the Tangram level, which requires solving 77 tangram puzzles.
This level is simply a torture for followers with insufficient intelligence.
But Shi Li controlled his own puppet, holding the [Beginning Stick], and participated in this level.
In fact, you don’t need a very smart brain. This level only requires the thinking of a normal person, and you will definitely solve it faster than the puppet.
So he passed the second level easily.
The third level is the Monster Customs.
This is a completely new level that you have never encountered before.
Shi Li could only say that it was almost tailor-made for the role of "Demon Hunter".
The content is similar to the previous Abyss Level , which is to fight among a horde of monsters.
Not only is it required to survive, but it is also required to kill as many monsters as possible within the specified time.
The side that kills more monsters will be the winner.
This level is even easier than the previous one because Shi Li doesn't have to do it himself, he just has to watch.
After three levels, he had a hunch.
I might be able to complete this S-level task today.
There is no basis for this, just a hunch.
After all, there has never been a challenge that goes so smoothly.
The fourth level is another familiar level.
Knife Mountain Pass.
He asked his followers to search for the only famous sword among the mountains composed of tens of millions of knives.
There is a time scale, one minute outside is one year in the mountain of swords inside.
At this stage, Shi Li was a little confused about who to send.
To be honest, neither the [Great Demon Monk] nor the [Five-clawed Spirit Dragon] seems to be suitable.
The most suitable one is [False Saint].
Its sharp eyes are very useful for finding things.
But now that the [False Saint] is gone, we can only choose one of the two.
Finally, Shi Li decided to try his luck.
The [Five-clawed Spirit Dragon], which might be more useful in the later levels, was kept for support, and the [Demon Monk] was sent out.
The last time I encountered this level was when I first entered the dungeon.
At that time, he also sent out a monk with a nameplate, [Sweeping Monk].
It turned out that the other side was also a pure manual search, but the speed was faster than that of [Sweeping Monk].
In 10 years, the [Sweeping Monk] had not even searched half of the mountain of swords, but the other party was lucky enough to find the famous sword.
This time, the messenger who listened to the wind sent out the same follower.
It seems that she doesn't have any good answer for this level.
This time, luck was on Shi Li's side.
In the 13th year of the level, the [Great Demon Monk] finally found the famous sword.
The followers of the Messenger Tingfeng were actually faster and had already searched 3/4 of the entire mountain of swords.
But unfortunately, the [Great Demon Monk] was even more destined and completed the task after searching only half of the way.
"Finally, huh..."
After the 4th level was over, Shi Li let out a long sigh.
This was the first time he reached the 5th level.
The previous best result was just completing the 3rd level.
"It seems that you are only one step away from success."
The messenger Tingfeng didn't seem to be in a hurry and took a sip of tea.
Putting the cup down, she snapped her fingers.
Bang!
Buzz...
A Lotto-style lottery machine just appeared out of nowhere in the pavilion.
Inside the round glass cover, there are a bunch of crystal balls.
There are two words written on the surface of each sphere, such as [Escape], [Secret Escape], [Fierce Battle], etc.
"Since this is the first time to challenge the finale, I'll leave the contents of this level to you to draw ."
The messenger Tingfeng gave the chance to draw to Shi Li.
"Okay, let me try."
Shi Li was not superstitious about such things. He walked straight forward and pulled the wrench of the instrument.
【Beep beep beep beep! 】
As the wrench was pulled down, colorful flashing lights lit up on the spherical glass vessel.
A powerful airflow rushed into the container, blowing the crystal balls into a frenzy.
They hit the glass wall and made quite irregular movements.
The crystal ball was moving very fast, and even with his excellent dynamic vision he couldn't tell which was which.
It was not until one of the crystal balls stood out and fell into the glass tube that he could vaguely see two words from the rolling ball: [Card Game].
"Oh, this level is the card game level."
The messenger who listened to the wind also saw the words clearly.
"Card game?"
This was a level that he had never encountered before, and Shi Li was puzzled.
The card game level is definitely used for playing cards.
Now I only have one card in my hand, how can I form a game?
Could it be that the followers are to act as players and manipulate some simulated card games or endgames?
Playing cards is such a complicated thing, wouldn’t it be a bit too difficult for the puppet followers?
“The card game level, as the name suggests, is about playing cards.
Let the puppet follower return to the form of a card and then fight. "
The Wind Listener smiled and explained, "Actually, we each play a card and compete one-on-one.
From the unveiling of the cards to the end of the game.
1V1, all are the rules of the game."
Shi Li: "Is there a limit on the score?"
The Wind Listener: "No limit."
Shi Li: “Are there any special rules?”
The Messenger of Listening to the Wind: “No.”
Shi Li: "Then why don't you die?"
The Wind Listener: “…”
Shi Li was not lying.
No matter what card the other party has in his hand.
First take a look at what you have in your hand.
S level, 100 points.
A giant card with 300 health points.
If there is a trump card mechanism in the 1V1 game, it would be 600 health points.
It also has [coating], so you don’t have to worry about any negativity.
It also has control, not only can you control others, but you can also hedge against control.
Even if the [Kung Fu Sheep God] came, he would not be able to defeat the [Five-clawed Spirit Dragon].
What's more, he knew what cards the Wind-Listening Messenger had left.
That fairy card is extremely weak just by looking at the appearance of the follower.
It's not that it's weak, but it's absolutely impossible for it to defeat the [Five-clawed Spirit Dragon].
There is no fight.
There is no point in winning this 1V1 game.
Therefore, I have to complete this S-level mission myself today.
