Because of the opponent's prediction, I was at a disadvantage and obviously lost blood.
After thinking for a few seconds, she decided to adopt a more stable approach.
As long as you can quickly clear out [Kung Fu Sheep Girl], victory will still belong to you.
The [Shield] with 10 health points will definitely die in the next round, so just use 40 attack points for normal attacks.
As for the other two cards, in order to prevent being correctly predicted and attacked again, it is safer to release the [Shield Strike] skill.
(Yes, that’s right.)
(That’s it, I’m stable.)
This is what she thought to herself after deciding on the strategy.
This is what the gatekeeper thinks and does.
But just as she confirmed her behavior, the card table suddenly shook.
Buzz!
This is a reminder that the game is about to enter the next stage, indicating that the action round has begun.
This situation made her feel a little nervous.
Why? Because as soon as I confirmed, I entered the action round, which means that the other party made a decision faster than me.
The faster a decision is made, the more confident the other party is!
Sure enough, she didn't wait for her card to attack immediately.
Instead, he first saw the strange little mechanical car, which emitted a wave of light towards the sheep and rabbit.
[Confirm target, charge]
+2
An orange number popped out from the sheep rabbit's head.
Orange is the color of the energy of the breaking system.
After releasing the [Double Combo] once, the Sheep Rabbit's energy is 2/3, and it will naturally be full to 3 after getting 2 points of replenishment.
Although the priority of [Energy Recharge] is equal to that of Buff/Debuff, because it is a friendly card, after confirming that the skill is released on the Sheep Rabbit, the table will assume that the Sheep Rabbit's energy has reached 3/3 and the skill can be used in the same round.
The only thing that is a bit wasteful is that the overflowing energy cannot be counted.
Otherwise, after the 4/3 Sheep and Rabbit use a [Double Combo], it will still be 3/3 fully charged at the end of the round.
That means she can release [Two-Combination Technique] for three consecutive rounds in this situation, which is a bit too shameless.
【Ah, do-me~! 】
The gatekeeper saw the sheep-rabbit rushing towards his own card first.
And the target she chose was surprisingly her own low-health card!
-30, -30, dizziness
Two numbers + control effects popped up, and this [Shield Hit Shield] was stunned and could not attack!
10 points of health, but it takes 60 points of damage to kill.
This is not called killing a nut with a sledgehammer, it's called...strategy.
"Tsk...you kid."
“I really know how to play cards.”
Obviously, the gatekeeper also understood the opponent's strategy.
Before confirming the behavior, she had already anticipated the possibility that she would be predicted.
But we can only say that it is conservative, all for the sake of conservatism.
【Clang clang, clang!】x2
-10, -10
As a result, the other two cards only dealt 20 points of damage.
The card that was originally intended to kill the sheep rabbit failed to be used!
【Wuhu～】
-15
The will-o'-the-wisp boy attacks again.
After a round of confrontation, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Shield][Shield 70][Empty]
VS
【37】【Willow Fire】【Sheep Rabbit 10】
“This is embarrassing.”
The gatekeeper's expression fell.
"Brother, this kid is pretty good at playing cards."
Director Xiu was feeling somewhat proud at this moment.
She brought those people here herself, and since the other side fought well, she would naturally feel proud.
When it comes to playing cards, sometimes it's all about talent.
Especially, when it comes to predicting the opponent.
The player level represents the depth of the deck and the strength of the player's physique in the dungeon.
Sometimes it also represents experience at the poker table.
But when it comes to prediction, experience + talent are both indispensable.
In fact, she found that perhaps because he was a coach and often played cards with others, Shi Li’s experience was actually quite good.
Add to that his natural acting skills (? ) + intuition (? ), and it seems like this guy has a pretty high success rate in predicting things.
"Humph, the winner has not yet been decided."
At this time, the gatekeeper had a stern face and continued to operate the card game.
She decided to play it safe this round. After all, the energy values ​​of the two cards were 1/3 and 3/3, which was enough.
The Sheep Rabbit only has 10 health points, so even if both cards use [Shield Bash] and then [Defense], you can still deal with her.
So the action round begins.
【Clang clang, clang!】x2
-15, -15
Sure enough, the excessive damage was enough to take the sheep and rabbit away.
【Mee-zha~! 】
-17.5
The sheep and rabbit rushed towards the shield with full health.
【Wuhu～】
-15
The will-o'-the-wisp boy's target is another one.
The round is over and the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Shield 82.5][Shield 55][Vacant]
VS
【37】【Wisp】【Vacant seat】
"Wow, bro."
"With the help of the entry, your room for maneuver in this 3+1 game is a bit limited."
Seeing this situation, Director Xiu sighed.
Because the health point of 55 has reached the opponent's self-destruction kill line.
“…”
The gatekeeper remained silent.
(Wait, is this a trick?)
(What if he actually just wanted to trick me into self-destructing?)
Thinking of this, she suddenly had a new idea.
(But what if the ace is really behind "Ghost Fire Boy"?)
(No matter what, keep one hand steady and do both!)
Thinking of this, she made a decision.
Currently, the energy of the two cards is still sufficient, so continue to use skills.
Let one card attack the ace position exposed by the Sheep Rabbit, and the other card attack [Willow Fire Boy].
【clang clang boom clang! 】
-15
【Wuhu～】
-15
So the two cards were exchanged.
【clang clang boom clang! 】
(Revelation)
Another shield attacked the ace cover, and a word popped up.
"Haha, I guessed it right!"
"This way, I can deplete your ace's HP before my card is out of the game."
"I still have the advantage in this game!"
Perhaps it was the sudden turn of events that made the gatekeeper unconsciously excited.
He completely forgot that he was just playing a test round with the new player.
I looked up at the guy opposite me. He was smiling the whole time and didn't say a word.
It seems like he has everything under control, which is a bit infuriating!
And now, his smile seems even more annoying!
And Xiao Xiuxiu, why is she laughing too?
What is going on?
The gatekeeper always felt something was odd.
【Ahhh! 】
A huge funeral beast card occupying three card spaces was revealed.
"Oh my god! 400 HP?!"
Her face changed immediately.
Then, I suddenly understood.
I understand why these two people's smiles are so annoying.
Xiao Xiuxiu's smile was a mocking smile. This guy already knew what kind of trump card the other party had hidden!
And the human boy's smile was even more excessive; it was the kind of smile that only a winner would have, a smile of pity!
Damn it!
(No, calm down!)
But the next second, the gatekeeper took a deep breath.
After analyzing it carefully for a few seconds, she made a careful calculation.
Even though the opponent has 400 health points, you still have the advantage!
Because your trump card is stronger than the opponent's, and before the trump card is revealed, two regular cards can completely consume the [Giant Zombie Beast].
And in the current situation, even if she doesn't kill the [Willow Fire Boy], she can still attack the Ace.
If you calculate carefully, as long as you operate it properly... it seems like there's a chance?
So she thought about it and confirmed the action for this round.
【Clang clang, clang!】x2
-40, -15
Two shields flew out and hit the giant zombie, causing two damage numbers to pop up above its head.
Relying on the fact that one of her cards had 82.5 health points and would not be killed instantly, she only activated the skill of one card.
【Wuhu～】
-0
The will-o'-the-wisp boy crashed into the ace card and covered it.
But the two words (i.e. reveal) did not appear, indicating that the ace was not hit.
【A-37】 with 0 attack power cannot take any attack actions, so he is the only one who can take on the task of exploring the ace.
"Haha! 400 HP is nothing more than that!"
Seeing this, the gatekeeper felt that he had made a profit.
Her trump card is stronger than the opponent's. If she can reduce the health of the [Giant Zombie] to 250, then her trump card will win in a one-on-one fight.
However, the next second, the giant zombie's actions startled her.
【Ahhh! 】
Bang!
-60
It clasped its fists together and hit the will-o'-the-wisp boy hard!
"Oh my god, I forgot there was such a trick!"
Amid the gatekeeper's exclamation of frustration, the two sides began to settle the cards.
【Cover】【Cover】【Empty seat】
[Shield 82.5][Shield 55][Vacant]
VS
【37】【Wisp 25】【Vacant】
【Giant Funeral Beast 345】
“…”
It can be said that this move caused the goalkeeper to lose .
She's almost out of the game!
"Brother, as a test bureau you can't surrender."
As a result, Director Xiu’s reminder from the side was simply heartbreaking.
So she had no choice but to continue operating.
Theoretically, I still have a chance to win.
For example, the other party suddenly has a seizure and starts to act chaotically.
In this round, the shield with 55 health was bound to die, so she chose to attack directly.
The shield with 82.5 health chooses the conservative [Shield Bash].
【Clang clang, clang!】x2
-15, -40
【Wuhu～】
-15
The attack of the will-o'-the-wisp boy hit the [Shield Strike] just as she expected.
【Ahhh! 】
Bang!
-60
But the attack of the [Giant Zombie Beast] was beyond her expectation and instantly destroyed the 55-health shield!
The round ends and both parties settle the accounts:
【Cover】【Cover】【Empty seat】
[Shield 67.5][Vacant][Vacant]
VS
【37】【Wisp 25】【Vacant】
【Giant Funeral Beast 290】
It seemed as if he was only one step away from his goal - reducing the opponent's ace's health to 250, but the goalkeeper still reacted.
"You are so cruel."
"Is this going to blow up my trump card?"
Her words were equivalent to exposing the position of the trump card invisibly.
The ace will be blown up, which means her ace is placed in the middle column.
But whether exposed or not, she actually doesn't care.
When the giant zombie beast beat the will-o'-the-wisp boy, the opponent had already killed the game.
My own winning rate is completely 0%, and there is no room for maneuver.
If what Director Xiu said just now that we cannot "surrender" was a heart-breaking move.
The behavior of this smiling guy is simply like dancing on a grave!
The little fairy was really pissed off!
There is no need to elaborate on the following process.
【Ahhh! 】
Bang!
Shi Li's giant zombie beast clasped its fists and smashed out, killing the goalkeeper's ace.
"One more round!"
"I just don't believe it!"
Her chubby little face was red and her wings behind her were flapping rapidly.
"Brother, wake up!"
Director Xiu covered his face and smiled bitterly.
Then he looked at Shi Li reproachfully.
How come you get angry when someone plays cards with you?
"It's none of my business."
Shi Li spread his hands innocently.
Indeed, he basically didn't say a word the entire time.
But in fact, if you want to blame someone, just blame him for the fact that he had to use self-destruction to kill the opponent's trump card even though he had already won.
There is no way. If you don’t use a new card well, you will feel unhappy.
"Hmph! Go in!"
The gatekeeper who was reminded finally opened the door to the top floor and threatened: "Wait for me inside! I will come to you as soon as I get off work! Let's continue the PK at the card table!"
"Haha, let's talk about it later, big brother. Let's go in first."
Without waiting for Shi Li to answer, Director Xiu pushed him into the door.
In the club, she knew the gatekeeper best.
Once they get carried away, they will continue to pester the other person, which is extremely annoying.
As for why I understand.
Because she herself is that kind of person.
As you walk into the top floor lobby, the first thing that catches your eye is the bustling noise of people.
His first impression was that it was like a big casino.
This made him suddenly realize that the so-called gatekeeper test was actually not very valuable.
"Many people pay to play here. As long as they apply for black gold VIP, they can come in directly without having to go through the gatekeeper."
Just at this time, Director Xiu explained.
"Does it mean that people are stupid and have a lot of money?"
He glanced at the other person.
"Don't look at me like that. I defeated the gatekeeper and came in with honor."
Director Xiu understood what he meant.
"I win! Hahahaha!"
Just then, someone at the table closest to them cheered.
Shi Li looked over there and found several people gathered in front of a holographic projection table that looked like a sand table.
"That's Cube Auto Chess. According to the number of participants, the contestants will evenly share the cost and provide their own E-level cards. As long as you have 48 follower cards and 10 equipment cards, you can complete the game."
Director Xiu introduced.
"It sounds interesting, let's go and take a look."
He was somewhat interested, so he walked to the sand table.
A new game just started at this time.
The person who just won is choosing his initial character in front of a list.
"Auto Chess has its own special card layout, which may not be the same as the usual cube cards."
“Players can randomly select cards from the card pool on the table. Every turn, they have a chance to choose 1 of 6 minion cards, and every 3 turns, they have a chance to choose 1 of 3 equipment cards.”
"When you get the same cards, 2 E-level cards can be combined into 1 D-level card. 1D+1E=1C, 1C+1E=1B, 1B+1E=1A, 1A+1E=1S. If you get 6 identical E-level cards in total, you can combine them into an S-level card."
"But it's quite difficult to randomly pick the same card 6 times out of 48 cards."
"Once you have made your selection, the system will randomly assign you an opponent to compete with you."
"Continuously fight with your opponent until there is only one person left at the table."
"The battle is automatic and the players cannot control it."
"In addition to the combination of cards, the formation and positioning are also very important."
Director Xiu explained beside him.
For Shi Li, this was the first time he had heard of this way of playing.
It was something new, but he had no intention of trying it.
Because once you hear the rules, you know that winning requires a lot of luck.
In addition to choosing followers, you also have to choose equipment, which is simply luck within luck.
After watching the game for about ten minutes and roughly understanding the rules, he chose to leave and go to the next table.
"This is another classic board game, the Battle of Eight Gods based on a cube card system."
"Yagami? The one with the eight young girls and the one with the wild shooting?"
Hearing the name, Shi Li stopped again.
However, he took a look at the desktop and the layout seemed a bit similar to the Three Kingdoms game on Blue Planet.
"Battle of the Eight Gods is a card board game based on the seven factions."
"Each faction has its own trump card."
"They are the God of Balance, the God of Rage, the God of Wisdom, the God of Breaking Power, the God of Determination, the God of Listening to the Wind, and the God of Chasing the Wind."
"The game is divided into 8 parties, each party is assigned to a camp, and there will be no duplication."
"Eight camps compete to determine the final winner."
"But I heard that this board game originated from the Zuoxin World, so the main god cards of these 7 camps are the main god cards of the Zuoxin World."
Director Xiu introduced it like this.
"Wait, it's not 8, there are only 7 main god cards here."
Shi Li was puzzled.
"Oh, there is also a Chaos God card."
"It contains all the divine cards of the non-7th camp, including those of the Right Heart World. "
"So the Chaos God camp has many trump cards, with a higher degree of choice, unlike the 7-series camp where there is no choice of trump cards."
"I heard that the main god card of the Right Heart World will be added in the future to expand the new camp."
"By the way, I recently heard that the Chaos God camp has added two super powerful cards, Left Li God and Right Li God. I want to play with them later."
As he spoke, Director Xiu became eager to try.
"You can play now if you want."
Shi Li said he didn't care.
Not long after he came here, he heard that the cubic metaverse was created by the gods together.
Some gods will even temporarily put aside their divinity and reincarnate to play with life.
However, he felt that these were very far away from him, and at most he could only hear their names in this kind of board game.
"No, no, it's still early. I'll show you around."
Director Xiu looked a little reluctant, but still led him inside.
"This is a game of chasing. Each player has seven pieces of each series. The players roll dice to determine the number of moves the pieces make. The player who first reaches the finish line with four pieces is the winner."
"The restraint relationship among the seven systems is Balance → Rage → Wisdom → Determination → Breaking the Trend → Listening to the Wind → Chasing the Wind → Balance."
"When the restraining piece exceeds the restrained piece, it can be returned to the starting point."
This is a racing board game that is somewhat similar to Ludo.
"Seven-door game, 4 people in a game. According to the card type and arrangement, the first person to collect four doors in each of the seven series will be the winner."
"There are various ways to play Hu, such as Ping Hu, Peng Peng Hu, Qing Yi Se, and Shi Xiao Dui."
There are also games like mahjong.
"Whispering Rhodes, a card that has nothing to do with Cube Cards."
"But the popularity is quite high. It's terrifyingly high."
There are even cards that don't seem to belong to this world.
In this way, they walked through about half of the top floor, and Director Xiu introduced Shi Li all the way down.
During the process, she also met three big brothers.
Two of them were avoided while she was dragged away, and one was walking towards her directly and there was no way to avoid him, so she could only call him "Big Brother" obediently.
"etc."
As they walked, Director Xiu grabbed Shi Li again.
"..., your eldest brother is indeed a lot."
Shi Li was already very familiar with this situation.
This guy is probably going to drag me around and avoid him again.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go up and say hello."
After saying this, Director Xiu walked away.
"? I didn't expect that he is such a respectable elder brother."
Considering the previous few times, he felt a little strange that the other party had to take the initiative to say hello.
Then, from a distance, separated by several people, Shi Li saw Director Xiu bowing to a handsome young man with fox ears who looked only two or three years older than him.
When he walked back, he saw that Director Xiu's face was not very happy again.
"Why, were you scolded by your elder brother?"
He couldn't help but joke.
"No, the one just now was not the eldest brother."
Director Xiu shook his head and said with a hint of reluctance, "It's Dad."
"A father-level figure is superior to a big brother-level figure."
"This circle has its own rules. When you see my father, you must take the initiative to go up and bow to say hello."
She said so.
“…”
Shi Li didn’t understand what the “circle” she was referring to was, but it sounded quite outrageous.
"So what does it take to become a big brother or a father?"
Finally he asked out of curiosity.
"If you lose three games of any kind to the same person in a row, that person will automatically become your big brother."
"This relationship between superiors and subordinates will continue until you win three games in a row, and then the relationship will be dissolved."
"If you beat him three more times after the relationship ends, you can still be his big brother."
Director Xiu explained.
"What about you, do you have a little brother?"
Shi Li felt that if he counted it this way, and if being crushed by the sprinkler truck in the copy was also counted as one time, then he seemed to have defeated someone three times.
I just don't know what my little brother's name is.
"Of course, I have four brothers in this club alone."
Director Xiu puffed out his chest proudly.
"..., you are really, no, you guys are really outrageous."
"What about the dad level? How can you reach the dad level?"
Shi Li then asked again.
"After becoming a big brother, if you win 10 games in a row against that person, you will become a father."
Director Xiu continued.
"So you lost 13 games in a row to the same person? Then you really should call him dad."
Shi Li raised his eyebrows. Director Xiu said that she had 18 brothers and 3 fathers here. Now looking at it this way, she really lost miserably.
"By the way, is there a grandfather level?"
He thought again.
"Well, there are. The standard for grandfather level is to win 100 games in a row against the same person based on the father level."
“?!”
After hearing these words, Shi Li immediately retreated tactically.
It's like if you want to have a grandson, you have to win 113 games in a row.
Even if he was facing the likes of Mushroom Slime, he didn't have the confidence to win so many games in a row.
Perhaps only a guy like Straw Man who doesn't know how to play cards has a chance.
But if you want to make the straw man your grandson, you don’t have to win 113 games against it, just give it a cup of milk tea.
He even suspected that if he packaged the milk tea for a year, this guy would kneel down and worship you as his ancestor.
