Buzz!
call out!
A successfully fused card was popped out again.
14 photos. This is the 14th one.
silence.
There was silence all around.
When the winner was finally decided, the audience fell silent.
Mr. Tamate lost in the head-on confrontation...?
They were so shocked that they were speechless.
"This is impossible!"
Mr. Yu Te's tone was full of disbelief.
I have clearly already browsed through all these 100 cards, and the limit is to fuse 13 of them.
How could there be a 14th one?
"You have good skills."
"It's almost a perfect answer."
At this time, Shi Li had his hands behind his back, looking confident and calm.
For a moment, the audience felt that this scene was a little familiar, as if... the roles were reversed!
"Don't you think that this posture of waiting for the opponent to finish rubbing first and then attacking is very similar to Mr. Yushou's routine?"
"And he used Mr. Yu Te's favorite and most commonly used routine to defeat Mr. Yu Te!"
"This slap in the face is too strong."
"He acted so cool this time."
Only then did they come to their senses and start talking.
"Referee, I want to inspect the finished cards of both teams!"
Mr. Tamate no longer cared about the comments and turned to the staff.
It’s not that he couldn’t afford to lose, but he really wanted to know which card made him lose and why he didn’t notice it!
This kind of comparison check is not uncommon in card-shuffling duels.
Sometimes duel participants want to communicate with each other and make such suggestions.
Generally speaking, however, the consent of all participants at the table is required.
"No problem."
Seeing the staff asking him for instructions, Shi Li nodded.
So both sides began to unveil the cards one by one.
[Simple darts], both of them have them.
[The smashed melon], both of them have it.
[Pulley and chain], both of them have it.
Every time Shi Li showed a picture, Mr. Yu Shou would show one next.
Their answers to the first 13 questions were all correct.
This last picture is the answer that Mr. Yu Shou is most concerned about.
Under his close gaze, Shi Li opened the material card.
A gray and black mass of loose soil-like unidentified object with a lot of impurities appeared before his eyes.
"【fertilizer】?"
When Mr. Yushou saw the name of the card, he was stunned.
He knew about fertilizer, but he didn't understand which material cards among these 100 cards could be made into fertilizer.
"Excuse me, could you please tell me where this card came from?"
He couldn't help his curiosity, so he asked.
"If I remember correctly, it should be [guano] + [bucket]."
Shi Li thought about it.
Because they were all previewed directly and synthesized when the results came out, he didn't remember it very clearly.
"What's the principle behind this?"
Mr. Yushou was stunned.
In his store of knowledge there was no such thing.
The audience around also began to talk about it.
"Guano plus a bucket of water, isn't that just a bucket of guano?"
"Hahahaha, you thought the same as I did."
"I've been to a farming dungeon before, and I asked the farmer there. I heard that bird droppings can't be used as fertilizer directly. They need to be sealed in a container and fermented before they can be used."
"Wow brother, you even know this?"
There was actually someone who actually revealed the key information.
This time, Mr. Yushou was completely speechless.
"Brother, you are awesome."
"I admit that I lost this game."
He straightened his expression and looked sincere: "Let's start the third game."
In this club, at this card-shuffling table, he hadn't felt a sense of crisis for a long time.
If I lose another round, I will have to hand over my chips.
It doesn’t matter whether you lose chips or not; what matters is winning back your face.
However, he is still confident about the upcoming third game.
13:14, I didn’t lose that much.
Maybe the other person just happened to have more knowledge about guano fertilizer than I do?
"OK."
Shi Li nodded, thinking that it was finally over.
Previewing so many cards is a bit exhausting for him.
[E-level materials, 100 pieces]
【Two-player game】
Rustle, rustle, rustle...!
So the card dealing machine spits out the cards again.
"please!"
Mr. Yushou made a gesture.
Obviously, he paid much more attention to Shi Li in this round compared to the previous two rounds.
No matter what, the opponent across the table is someone who is on par with you in this kind of card game.
After saying this, he spread out the cards and began to browse through them one by one.
Shi Li remained silent and held the entire stack of cards in his hand, just like in the previous round.
And so, both sides fell silent again.
Since it was a match point game, the audience was more focused.
In the end, Mr. Yushou is going to turn the tables.
Or will this young man of unknown origin win 3:0?
Unlike the previous game, this time Mr. Yu Shou did not take the previous approach of immediately rubbing the two suitable cards as soon as he saw them.
Instead, all the cards that were considered to be playable were picked out and then screened a second time.
(This set of cards...)
But after picking them all out, he secretly looked up and observed the opposite side.
The guy opposite had his eyes closed and held the cards in one hand, so no information could be seen.
The reason why he peeked at the other party's reaction was because Mr. Yu Shou found that the cards in this group were not very playable.
The cards he picked out were only 17 in total.
There are 17 pieces, and at most only 8 pieces can be finished.
And considering that the success rate could not be 100%, he thought that at most 6 or 7 cards could be produced.
On this table, this set of E-level material cards is considered relatively "poor".
"Huh?"
However, when Mr. Yushou was trying to match the 17 cards in his mind, he noticed something unusual.
(Luckily I was serious enough in this game!)
(There are actually traps in these cards!)
Wherever he looked, there were four cards.
That is [a pinch of cotton] [a toothpick] [a few rags] [dry grass].
Based on the experience gained from shuffling the cards, he knew that there were several fusion relationships among these four cards.
[a pinch of cotton] + [toothpick] = [cotton swab]
[a pinch of cotton] + [a few pieces of rags] = [a bag of rags]
[Dry grass] + [a few pieces of rags] = [rag bag] (another type)
Why do I say that there are traps in these 4 cards?
That is, if you choose to combine [a pinch of cotton] + [a few pieces of rags], then the [dry grass] and [toothpick] will be useless.
It's actually a problem of permutations and combinations.
If you choose [a pinch of cotton] + [a few pieces of rags], then you can only get one card out of these four cards, which is [a bag of rags].
But if you choose [a pinch of cotton] + [toothpick], then these four cards can be rubbed out into two cards, namely [cotton swab] and [rag bag].
Therefore, if you are not careful or act too hastily, it is easy to ignore the relationship between these four cards and miss a successful card.
(So, I have the advantage in this game!)
Mr. Tamate, who discovered this little trap, showed excitement in his eyes.
I'm going to get back at the scoreboard!
Because I browsed more carefully and thoroughly this time, it took me longer.
When he decided to start shuffling the cards, Shi Li was also preparing to start.
Buzz!
Here's one.
Buzz!
One over there.
The lights of the shuffled cards at both ends of the round table rose and fell.
The two of them took turns rubbing out cards.
Mr. Yushou rubbed out one piece, and Mr. Shili rubbed out one piece.
Mr. Yushou rubbed out another piece, and Shi Li also rubbed out one piece.
As a result, the two of them unintentionally formed a situation of comparison and competition.
This situation is of course quite exciting for the audience who like to play cards .
"Wow, it looks like they're evenly matched!"
"I haven't seen Jade Hand's father look so serious in a long time, but that little brother is also very good."
"Who do you think will win in the end?"
Just when someone asked this puzzling question, new changes occurred in the situation.
Buzz!
Mr. Yushou has just successfully drawn his 7th card.
"Um?"
But Shi Li, who was originally chasing closely, was suddenly stunned.
Because he has no cards.
To be more precise, he found that there were no more cards that could be fused.
[Absolute Card Sense] It is definitely impossible to deceive yourself. Among the remaining 88 cards, there is no successful combination.
But why does the opponent get one more card than you?
While he was shuffling the cards just now, he was actually observing the other party and did not notice any unusual behavior.
This is very confusing.
At this moment, all the changes in his expression fell into Mr. Yushou's eyes.
"You have good skills."
"It's almost a perfect answer."
He smiled and repeated exactly what Shi Li said at the end of the previous game.
"But young people are bound to be a little irritable."
“It’s understandable that mistakes are made because of the rush.”
But he added two more words.
“…”
When Shi Li heard this, his brows slightly frowned.
The fact before him is that there is really no solution.
After thinking about it, he could only wave his hand to call the staff to act as half the referee.
"Don't worry, there's no way this card-dealing machine will malfunction."
Mr. Tamate watched this scene, thinking that the other party was going to question whether the two people's material decks were exactly the same.
"It will give each participant 100 identical cards."
"No one will get different cards in the same game."
He explained with a smile.
But Shi Li just looked up at the other person. This was not the question he wanted to ask.
This staff member is a green-skinned goblin.
Because he was short, he could only lean over to ask.
There was no race with a special talent for hearing among the people present, and in order not to interfere with the duel, the audience was some distance away from the participants, so no one heard what he asked the other party.
But looking at the staff member's expression, he was obviously stunned.
Then the goblin showed an expression of disbelief, but nodded.
"Okay, I understand then."
When he got the answer, he smiled slightly.
He just stretched out his hand and picked up his [rag bag].
Just as Mr. Yu Shou expected, this [rag bag] was made of [a pinch of cotton] and [a few pieces of rags].
So he has one less cotton swab than Mr. Yu Shou.
But now this kind of thing is not a problem at all.
The other hand begins to touch the remaining material cards.
“Hmm…”
As luck would have it, his hand rested on the toothpick.
Because the cards could not be seen, no one, including Mr. Tamate, understood the meaning of this action.
But Shi Li's next move surprised them.
Bang!
Buzz!
He clapped his hands and light overflowed from his palms.
However, this light was obviously stronger than before in both color and intensity.
"?"
The audience's first reaction was confusion.
They didn't understand why the light was stronger.
But it was different for Mr. Yushou, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
"impossible!"
"This is... the second fusion!"
He exclaimed again.
The degree of shock this time was even greater than when we lost the last game.
"What?! Is this the second fusion?"
"I dug a hole in the ground. Today I have learned a lot at this table."
"In the card shuffle duel, someone was able to perform a second fusion."
"Yes, even though it's just cheap and simple materials, it's still amazing."
After being reminded by Mr. Yu Shou, the audience came to their senses.
But Mr. Yushou's expression was a little ugly.
The difficulty of secondary fusion is much higher than that of primary fusion.
To put it more intuitively, this table provides 100 material cards each time, and the average number of cards that can be successfully rolled out is about 9.
However, if he wants to successfully make a secondary fusion material card, he will probably have to spend 200 to 300 basic materials to be sure.
However, the most important thing is not these.
But Mr. Tamate is very clear about the rules of the duel at this table.
Second fusion card, count as 3 successes!
In other words, the opponent consumed 1 success number in exchange for 2 success numbers.
In this way, the score between the two sides becomes 7:8, and I am going to lose!
"Which card can be fused twice?"
Seeing that there was some time left on the hourglass, Mr. Yushou quickly began searching through the remaining basic material cards.
Soon, he locked eyes.
That [magnet powder] seems to be compatible with the [metal needles] that I rubbed out myself?
To be honest, he wasn't sure.
If a bust occurs, the score will become 6:8, and you will fall further behind.
Even if the cards are not busted but the shuffling fails, the score is still 7:8.
So if you don’t try, you will lose no matter what you do.
" Take a gamble."
So he gritted his teeth and grabbed the two cards.
Bang!
Buzz!
With a clap of his hands, light overflowed.
"It's done!"
Mr. Yushou immediately showed joy on his face.
Consume 1 primary fusion card and transform it into a secondary fusion card.
Now the score is 9:8, another reversal! I still win!
However, at this moment, the cheers of the audience brought him to the bottom.
"Wow! This guy has created a second secondary fusion card!"
"Oh my god, what did I see?!"
"Is his success rate in shuffling cards 100%?!"
Mr. Tamate couldn't believe his ears.
But when he looked at Shi Li's desk, he did see that one first fusion card was missing again, and a second second fusion card was added.
In other words, the score is 9:10, and I still lose!
“This…is impossible!”
Jade Hand has said this three times at this table tonight, each time louder than the last.
As he looked in disbelief, the time in the hourglass just ran out.
The result is obvious, Shi Li won by 1 point.
This score may seem very tense, but in fact, the audience who witnessed the whole process know that this 1 point is of great value.
To put it bluntly, their Mr. Jade Hands and Jade Hands Daddy were crushed tonight.
…
In the lounge, Yu Shou sat on the soft sofa, pressing her temples with her hands.
The card-shuffling duel lasted for a whole night, and the last two cards in particular were quite exhausting for him.
"Xiu Wushuang, you finally found a good opponent for me today."
He looked at Director Xiu next to him and smiled bitterly.
"Daddy Yushou, stop wasting time."
" If you lose the bet, you should accept the loss and take out your chips quickly."
Even though Director Xiu called me dad, his expression at this moment was one of great joy.
If your employees beat the other party, then rounding up means you beat the other party.
"Of course, take your time to choose, big brother."
She waved her hand across the table and laid out a row of cards: "All the C-rank material cards I have are here."
"Thanks."
Shi Li's smile came from the heart.
Not only did I earn a month's paid vacation tonight, but I also got a C-level material card. How could I not be happy?
“…”
Jade Hand watched the other party start to select one by one, and sighed secretly in her heart.
Although he didn't ask directly just now, he also learned something about Shi Li's situation.
He had just crossed over, was a low-level card player, and was not even a registered formulator in the association.
If with such qualifications he can still beat himself in a card game, then the answer is obvious - the player's talent.
Perhaps it is some kind of card-shuffling talent that can accurately identify E-level formulas.
He had heard that some people did have this talent that formulators envied.
At this moment, Shi Li was still immersed in the selection of material cards.
Mr. Yushou is indeed a father-level formulator.
The number of C-level material cards in my hand is nearly a hundred.
You have to know that the specialty stores outside the association can only sell about 50 C-level cards.
In other words, Yu Shou alone can run two stores.
"Just take your time to look at it first, I'll go out for a walk."
After waiting for a while and realizing that Shi Li couldn't finish it for a while, she stood up with her jade hand.
He played too many poker games today and wanted to try something else.
As for these cards, he was not afraid of the other party taking more than them.
They are all locked with their own card system, and no one can actually take them away until they are unlocked.
"You can! I can't tell!"
As soon as Yushou left, Director Xiu slapped Shi Li hard on the back.
She felt so relieved when she saw her father being abused.
"Be more respectful in your actions. What are you doing?"
"?"
"I'm your father's eldest brother. Think carefully about what to call me."
"???"
