"It sounds like your fathers are strong men."
"How can I win against a being of this level?"
At this moment, he remembered the commission from Director Xiu on the way here.
"Although I also want to see you kill my dad, but forget about that dad just now."
"The games he accepts are the ones he is good at, but those games may not be suitable for you."
"My target tonight is another dad, just help me kill her."
"Hey! Found her, she's over there!"
As he was talking, Director Xiu discovered his target.
In the direction she pointed, there was a woman with long braids, pointy ears and purple skin.
This is a female dad.
At this time, the purple-skinned woman was standing in front of an empty card table, with no opponent to play against her.
She sat on the stool with her eyes squinted, not knowing whether she fell asleep.
People passed by from time to time, and they all just gave a slightly awed look.
"Good evening, Dad!"
Director Xiu walked over and bowed deeply.
“…”
Although he was mentally prepared, Shi Li still felt a little speechless standing by.
"Uh-huh, do you want to come to the table?"
The girl’s father nodded.
Shi Li took the opportunity to look at the special table, which was filled with covered cards.
"Director, what kind of game is this?"
So he asked curiously.
Before Director Xiu could answer, the girl's father took over the conversation.
"Have you ever played blind cards?"
She smiled and opened her eyes, which made Shi Li frown slightly.
This person's eyes are beautiful but they are not real eyes, but a pair of gems.
"Blind poker means playing the game with all your cards covered."
"To be fair, each party's deck will be drawn by the other party."
"So generally speaking, I will try to give the opponent some bad cards."
Director Xiu introduced the general rules.
"Like this."
As an example, the female father stroked one of the covered cards.
Buzz!
【Ahem～! 】
A werewolf head jumped out of the card.
【？ ？ ？】
? , ? points, D
attack?,?/?
【？ 】：？
This card has no information other than its projection and rank.
"Is there such a way to play?"
Shi Li was stunned for a moment, feeling a little complicated.
The deck belongs to someone else, and the cards are covered, which means that it is difficult to even operate the deck.
You might not even realize that you are burning your own health when using a skill.
It requires not only strategy and memory, but also luck.
"For this game, luck is the most important thing."
Even the girl’s father admitted it at this point.
While speaking, he took out one of his jewel eyeballs and wiped it carefully with a handkerchief.
"From your performance in the dungeon, I think you should be good at this kind of game."
Director Xiu nudged Shi Li with his elbow.
What she was referring to was probably those times when [Demon Lock] was opened in seconds.
"Forehead……"
But Shi Li knew his own affairs.
Playing [Locking the Magic] is different from this blind card game. He has tried it and [Absolute Card Sense] doesn't work.
The fact that this female father was able to beat the show manager 13 games in a row and still make people around him stay away from him shows that he must be very good at this genre.
So without hesitation, he pulled Director Xiu away.
"Director, why don't you go visit your third father?"
He suggested.
"The third father didn't come today."
"So what exactly was your first father good at?"
"Okay, I'll take you there to have a look."
Director Xiu sighed.
Compared to the female father, she feels truly powerless facing the elf father.
At least I still have a chance of winning the blind card game, but the Elf Daddy's competition is...
While thinking, the two came to where the elf father was.
At this time, he was fighting with someone, and there were many spectators around him.
There were five people in total on the circular table, including the elf dad.
In front of them was a stack of nearly 100 cards.
Some people's cards are scattered all over the place, while others are stacked more neatly.
In the middle of the table was an hourglass, measuring the passing time.
Elf Dad was the only person on the field who did not touch the cards. He just looked at the other four people who were either busy or distressed with a calm smile.
"Got it! Watch me!"
One of them suddenly cheered.
His shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The man was a large man, wearing a tight vest, and had a pair of strange apple-shaped horns on his head.
He held a card in each hand, and Shi Li felt that this posture was a little familiar.
Sure enough, Apple Corner clapped his hands.
Bang!
Light overflowed between the two palms.
This is clearly shuffling the cards.
"The event that Elf Dad is good at is shuffling cards."
"ah?"
Without paying attention to Shi Li's reaction, Director Xiu began to introduce with a serious expression.
"In a card shuffle duel, each player is randomly dealt the same 100 different E-level material cards."
"Whoever can shuffle the cards successfully or has the most cards successfully within the specified time will be the winner."
"Don't be fooled by the big, strong man in Apple Corner. He is actually a genuine formula maker."
She said so.
A formulator is a noble profession certified by the association, who explores formulas by studying successful cases and breaking down principles.
A successful formulator needs rich theoretical knowledge and accumulated experience.
"100 E-level material cards? So rich?"
Shi Li said he was frightened.
"It's okay, these are just some cheap material cards."
"Strictly speaking, it's the kind of super cheap material where you can get dozens of copies for every one you draw."
For example, if there is a [Pile of Iron Nails] in the dungeon, if you actually draw it, you will directly get [Iron Nails] xN.
This kind of material card is usually very cheap. For example, you can usually buy 1 [Iron Nail] for 1 cubic coin.
"I see. This kind of matchup is indeed more suitable for formulators to participate in."
"So Director, are you also a formulator?"
Shi Li looked at Director Xiu.
"Me? Not yet, but I've been studying for the last ten years and I'm almost there."
Director Xiu is a little proud.
"..., you really deserve to be someone else's son."
While the two were talking, Apple Corner kept his hands clasped together for a long time without moving.
"Apple, you failed to shuffle the cards."
"Looking at your confident expression, I thought you were going to succeed."
"I was like, you already have inspiration after just a short while? Impossible."
"What a waste, hahahaha!"
"Look, Mr. Yushou hasn't even moved yet!"
The other audience members all laughed and joked when they saw this.
Everyone's words made Apple Corner's face turn red.
The other three people were relieved .
Fortunately, they all kept their composure and were not the first to start, otherwise they would have been the ones being laughed at.
As for the elf father known as Jade Hands, he just smiled and said nothing.
These cards are encrypted and the information inside can only be known when you touch them.
Therefore, there is no such thing as copying homework or learning from failure experiences.
"Humph! I don't believe it!"
At this time, Apple Corner seemed to have given up.
Pick up the two selected cards again and clap your hands!
Bang!
This time there wasn't even any light.
continue.
Bang!
Come again.
Bang bang bang!
When I rubbed the seventh piece, I finally succeeded in completing the two-in-one.
"call……"
Apple Corner breathed a sigh of relief.
For this kind of cheap material card, it took 14 cards to succeed in 1, so the success rate is actually quite good.
His success immediately put pressure on others.
To be precise, it should be the other three people.
When they got to this table, they never thought about taking first place.
The reason is simple, because Mr. Yu Shou is here.
If they can get second place, it is equivalent to being the first in their hearts.
Bang!
Soon, someone else took action.
He clapped his hands with bat wings.
Buzz!
A flash of light.
"Haha! I succeeded! I succeeded in one go!"
The man was overjoyed.
Bang bang bang...!
So he continued to press on and tried 19 more times in a row.
In the end, all of them failed, and his face suddenly turned dark.
"Bat brother, what are you doing?"
"Hahahaha, I thought you were clapping."
"1 in 20, this success rate is probably at the bottom."
The ridicule from the crowd made it impossible for him to refute at all.
There are 100 material cards, and now there are only 60 left. Only 1 was successful. If he is not at the bottom, who will be?
But at this point he had no choice but to continue shuffling the cards.
Except for Mr. Yu Te, everyone else started to move.
When the hourglass time was more than halfway through, the four people at the table had used up all 100 material cards.
The performance of these four people varies.
The worst was Batman, who only succeeded 3 times.
The best was the apple corner, with 7 successful ones.
After seeing these four people finish, everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Yu Shou.
“Is it finally my turn?”
Mr. Yushou didn't let anyone wait any longer. He spread out the stack of cards in front of him with a wave of his hand.
100 material cards were evenly laid out in front of him to form an arch.
"Amazing! Just from this opening move, I know that Mr. Yu Shou is very skilled."
"Damn it! I've been learning from him for a long time but I'm still not as handsome as him. I always feel like I'm missing the last step. What exactly is missing?"
"Is it possible that what you lack in the end is a face?"
"I really don't want to admit what you said."
This one move alone was enough to make everyone praise him and feel inferior to him.
Amidst such admiration, Mr. Yushou glanced over the cards.
“This one is good.”
With two fingers, he picked up a piece of [Low-grade Firewood].
"It goes perfectly with this one."
The second one fell into another hand, [Concave and convex glass fragment]
Then place one card flat on your palm and gently cover it with the second card.
"Mr. Yushou's card shuffling is simply art."
“It’s always fascinating to watch.”
"Just one word, handsome."
The audience was talking about it.
But when it came to Shi Li's direction, they were all discussing its posture, appearance and other things, and no one discussed whether this card shuffling would be successful or not.
Buzz!
Light overflowed from between the two palms, and its solidity proved everything.
A new material card, [Burning Wood] appeared in his hand.
Mr. Yushou is the symbol of success at this table.
Next, his performance time officially began.
"This one, and this one."
Buzz!
"Well, maybe they can give it a try."
Buzz!
"That's definitely fine."
Buzz!
Success success success success...
The light from the shuffling cards on the table continued, and under its illumination, the remaining gravel in the hourglass became less and less.
"Okay, that's it."
“The timing is just right.”
Finally, at the last moment when the hourglass ran out, Mr. Yushou stopped.
From beginning to end, he had a gentle smile on his face.
And his result was a total of 10 successfully fused material cards.
"You're pretty good."
At this time, Mr. Yushou looked at Apple Corner.
"Because your score is pretty close to the correct answer."
"Ten success cards are already the limit of this deck."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted discussions from the audience.
"Oh my god, his strength is actually recognized by Mr. Yu Shou."
"Not bad, 7 out of 10 are impressive."
"But Mr. Yu Shou is still amazing."
"I was able to get 100 points not because I could only get 100 points, but because the test paper was only worth 100 points."
"That's not the case."
Even Apple Corner showed a slight look of pride amid the discussions.
There are many formulators in the club, but only a few can get positive comments from Mr. Yu Shou.
I really had a great time tonight.
In such an atmosphere, Director Xiu quietly pulled Shi Li back a few steps.
"Well, now you see how powerful my father is."
"His card-shuffling skills are undoubtedly the best in the entire club."
"It's impossible to beat him in shuffling cards."
She said this to Shi Li.
"Then if you knew that, why did you compete with him in the first place?"
Shi Li was a little confused.
"What I'm competing with him in is not shuffling cards."
Unexpectedly, Director Xiu answered like this.
"Hmm? Then what are you competing for?"
"We compete in putting on and taking off clothes."
"Hello……"
"No, you misunderstood. I mean using material cards to dress and undress humanoid cards."
"Isn't that still shuffling the cards?"
After a few sentences, Shi Li was even more speechless.
"So, you should go and challenge the blind cards."
Finally, Director Xiu persuaded him like this.
"NONO."
As a result, Shi Li shook his finger.
"First of all, I didn't agree to help you get revenge."
"Secondly, I think this shuffle is quite interesting."
This made Director Xiu look unconvinced.
"Shuffle the cards? Can you beat Jade Hand?"
She questioned.
“Hmm…”
Shi Li hesitated for a few seconds before slowly saying, "If we really want to compare, I can be his ancestor."
"Ah? ...Are you serious?"
"uh-huh."
"You didn't lie to me?"
"I lied to you that you were a puppy. Hey, where are you touching?"
"See if you have a dog's tail."
After confirming it several times, Director Xiu was still skeptical.
But just half-belief was enough for her.
She didn't ask Shi Lizhen to win every battle as he said, but at least there was hope of winning.
If you can't beat your dad, it's also a good idea to let someone else beat your dad to help you vent your anger.
After some thought in his mind, Director Xiu finally promised.
"Go up there and if you beat him, I'll grant you a month's paid leave."
"make a deal."
Shi Li agreed readily.
Seeing how confident he was, Director Xiu's confidence increased by another 1%, and he simply stopped caring about it.
Anyway, we might as well give it a try. If we lose, we won’t lose anything, but if we win, we will feel great.
Anyway, bald people are not afraid of losing their armpit hair. Even if he is not given leave, this guy may not come to work for a few days in a month.
So she slowly raised her hand.
"Dad Jade Hand, someone wants to challenge you!"
Her shouting of this immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It is not strange to call Mr. Yushou "Dad". There are many people who call him "Dad".
But the key point is that I haven't heard such words as challenging Mr. Tamate in the club for a long time.
Regardless of whether they are sincere or not, at least when other formulators come to Mr. Yushou, they all say they are asking for advice or guidance.
A challenge means that this person is here to defeat Mr. Ying Yushou.
But is this realistic? Is it possible?
"oh?"
Mr. Tamate was well-educated and did not feel offended.
On the contrary, he showed an expression of interest.
I don’t know when it started, but I haven’t received any challenges in this club for a long time.
In full view of everyone, Shi Li was gently pushed out by Director Xiu.
"Brother, are you the one who wants to challenge me?"
Mr. Yushou took out a fan from somewhere and tapped it in his hand with a smile.
"That's right."
"Do you know what challenge means on my table?"
"How?"
The other party's words made Shi Li stunned.
It's just a card shuffling competition, why is there so much to it?
At this time, Mr. Yushou just smiled but said nothing, but one of his sons answered for him.
"Since it is a challenge, there will naturally be winners and losers."
" As the challenged, it is only right for Jade Hand Dad to win, but what if he loses?"
"Don't look at me like that. I mean just in case, just in case."
"But young man, as a challenger, if you win you can gain fame, but if you lose you will not lose anything."
"So if there really is a challenge, both sides should set up some bargaining chips in advance."
"And you have to offer enough chips to make Jade Hand's father excited, so that he will accept your challenge."
This good son explained the rules clearly and unambiguously.
"It's okay, it's okay. Seeing how young this guy is, it's a bit difficult for him to come up with something that will impress me."
"You are willing to challenge me, which is commendable."
"So just take out a chip at random, and I'll give you one of roughly the same value."
Mr. Yushou seemed very generous.
"Listen, this is Mr. Yu Shou's pattern."
"It's obvious that this guy is a newcomer. Mr. Yushou is really tolerant towards newcomers."
"An expert really has the demeanor of an expert."
"This is the first time I see Mr. Yu Te being challenged. I'm a huge fan now."
"I hope this guy won't be too devastated after losing."
Shi Li turned a deaf ear to all the flattery around him.
He just waited until the noise died down and took out something.
"How about using this as a bargaining chip?"
"Huh?"
The light in Mr. Yushou's eyes, who had been calm all along, flickered slightly.
Obviously, he was moved.
