"Speaking of which, I'll take you to meet my grandfather later."
Director Xiu lay back down on the sofa.
"Farewell, can I call you Big Brother?"
Shi Li quickly refused.
Winning 3 games in a row makes you the big brother, and winning 10 games in a row on the basis of the big brother level makes you the father.
And on the basis of being a father, you have to win 100 games in a row to become a grandfather.
He couldn't even imagine how powerful this "grandfather" of Director Xiu was.
It must be much stronger than the jewel-eyed female elf father just now.
The most I can do is rely on cheats to bully the father-level guys like Yu Shou. If I go to meet the grandfather-level guys, I'm afraid I'll be asking for trouble.
"Anyway, just finish your work first."
Director Xiu pointed to the material cards on the table and did not comment.
So Shi Li devoted himself to the preview again.
There was no time limit here, so he read slowly.
Compare all the cards in your hand with these nearly 100 C-level material cards preview.
(Fortunately, I don’t have many cards now.)
(If you have hundreds of cards in your hand in the future, it will probably take a lot of time just to preview and compare one material card.)
(When that time comes, what should I do?)
He thought this in his mind while previewing the video.
【bite!】
However, it was precisely because of this thought that he suddenly discovered that his card-making panel had changed.
A batch preview panel is displayed.
One side is the main card, and the other side is the secondary card/material card. Both sides can be placed in batches.
As long as you put all the information in at once, all the results will be automatically displayed.
(The Cube Card System is so user-friendly.)
Shi Li felt happy and relieved at the same time. From now on, he could save much more effort.
In the main card option, enter all the card information you own.
Sub-deck option, put in this pile of material cards.
Then the preview was turned on.
Bang!
As a result, there was a sudden shock in his mind, his eyes suddenly went dark, and his feet felt so light that he was about to fall.
Plop!
Fortunately, there was a soft sofa behind him, and Shi Li fell down.
In the darkness of his vision, he heard Director Xiu's gloating voice.
"What's wrong, you are like this."
"Are you using the system panel to process information in batches? You look like that."
"Take it easy, you are only a few levels of poker player."
After hearing what she said, Shi Li suddenly realized.
Batch processing is convenient, but it also consumes mental energy.
Especially for a preview like his, he has to arrange the combinations countless times.
Sure enough, a strong feeling of dizziness came over him like a tide.
"Don't shut down the computer, or the batch processing will stop automatically."
As a result, Director Xiu's words forced him to stay clear-headed and not give up consciousness and faint.
This state lasted for about 3 minutes, and vision finally gradually recovered.
The real feeling of heavy fatigue proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.
So he simply stopped moving and just lay quietly on the sofa with his eyes closed to relax.
Seeing his look, Director Xiu was tactful enough not to disturb him.
After about 10 minutes, Shi Li felt better.
However, he still did not open his eyes, but previewed the results of the batch processing in his mind.
(The quality of this C-grade material is not good.)
Looking at the preview results of less than 20, he curled his lips.
With this success rate, it’s no wonder that the price of material cards cannot be raised.
Taking a quick glance, first look at the actual changes in the cards, a total of 10 cards.
There are 6 cards whose appearance has been weakened, such as [Wild Fat Cat] + [Sunglasses] = [Wild Fat Cat].
The fat cat in the projection was directly equipped with sunglasses for its eyes, and it dropped from a C-level card back to a D-level card, and the passive skill [King's Gaze] was gone.
The results for the remaining 4 photos were not very good either.
They all belong to the type of horizontal development and cannot be considered as enhancement in the true sense.
For example, [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] + [A small ball of floating fairy air] = [Sheep and Rabbit Fairy], which resulted in a significant change in the card surface.
In the projection, the heroic Sheep and Rabbit Girl wearing a Kung Fu cheongsam turned into a fairy in ancient silk clothes.
【Sheep and Rabbit Fairy】
Break, 25 points, B
Attack 25, 100/100, 0/3
[Agility - Passive]: When the Sheep Rabbit Fairy is directly attacked, the damage is -5
[Fairy Spirit - Passive]: When the Sheep Rabbit Fairy attacks a monster card, the damage is +10
[Ding Zi Jue - 2 Energy]: The Sheep Rabbit Fairy blows out a breath of fairy air, causing a target to become [Petrified] for 1 round.
([Petrification]: The target cannot attack or move, and the total amount of damage received this round is -25)
This card appears to be flat, but it is actually a bit weakened.
The special attack passive has changed from targeting cards with higher scores than itself to targeting monster-type cards, which is equivalent to narrowing the scope.
Active skills lack damage and energy recovery.
And the effect of [Petrification] is obviously weaker than [Stun].
The reason why [Ding Zi Jue] is more powerful than [Er Lian Jue] is that it only requires 2 energy points and has a quick warm-up time.
And if [Petrification] is used on your own [Defending] card, it can have a higher life-saving effect.
[Sheep Rabbit Fairy] is a card that is more useful in specific situations and specific copies, and is not as versatile as [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].
The remaining 3 preview results are similar to those of [Sheep Rabbit Fairy].
So Shi Li didn't intend to choose them.
However, one of the preview results where the cards did not change caught his attention.
[Iron stick] + [a small ball of floating fairy air] = [Iron stick]
On paper, nothing has changed.
But it is worth noting that there were a few wisps of smoke surrounding the projection of the iron rod.
Combined with the face of this material card, it is easy to understand.
[A small ball of fairy air]: can make the main card gain a little fairy air.
Shi Li was not sure about the original effect of the fairy energy.
However, the preview results of [Sheep Rabbit Fairy] are of great reference value.
His next target copy was the copy key of the demon world.
It would be a good idea to get an iron stick for special attacks on monsters.
"Okay, I've chosen it."
After resting for a while, he stood up.
The two left the lounge to look for Mr. Yu Shou, intending to ask him to unlock the selected material card.
In fact, the top floor of the club is very large, and there are many tables that Shi Li has not visited before. Many new card games also refreshed him. It took him some time to stop and watch and understand the rules.
Finally, the two found Yushou next to a card table with a lot of spectators.
In this game, he was not a participant, but a spectator.
The two people facing off at the card table were a Youyou clan member wearing a white cloak with only two black eye holes, and a pure human old man with gray hair but a tall and sturdy figure and a vigorous spirit.
The card table they used seemed to be a regular card table.
The most we play are games with term restrictions, not those messy games.
When Shi Li and the other man arrived, the card game had just ended.
The Youyou clan looked weak and must have lost the duel.
Without saying a word, its body gradually became completely transparent, and then disappeared from everyone's sight, and no one knew where it floated to.
"He is my grandfather."
After Shi Li finished the handover with Mr. Yu Shou, Director Xiu pointed at the old man.
At this time, the old man walked off the stage with a smile on his face, and the audience around him immediately bowed to him.
"Hello, brother!"
"Hello, Dad!"
A group of people bowed.
Among them, Shi Li saw Mr. Yu Shou beside him also bent down respectfully and called him Dad.
"Dad's dad is grandpa."
He looked at Director Xiu: "It seems to be correct."
"No, you may have misunderstood. He is really my grandfather."
Director Xiu explained.
"Oh? The director of the previous term?"
Shi Li was stunned when he heard this.
"Yeah, but I've lost more than a hundred games to him in a row."
"So in theory, he should be considered my double grandfather."
Director Xiu’s words made Shi Li roll his eyes. What the hell is a double grandfather?
"Grandpa, this way!"
Seeing the old man coming over here, she raised her hand and waved.
"Hahahaha, Xiao Shuangshuang, you're here!"
The old man laughed heartily a few times and quickened his pace to walk in front of the two people.
He was estimated to be about 2.3 meters tall, like a giant.
The big palm directly covered the head of Director Xiu and rubbed it with a little indulgence.
"Let me introduce you. He's the new coach I mentioned to you."
"This is my grandfather, Xiu Batian."
Director Xiu struggled to pry open the big hand and introduced the two people to each other.
"Hello, old curator."
Shi Li greeted politely.
He looked at the other person. He was wearing a loose sleeveless shirt that showed off his muscular arms. The low neckline made his double-door pectoral muscles faintly visible, and even the gap between the doors was exposed.
I thought to myself, why don’t you call yourself “Show Muscle Master”, that seems more appropriate.
"Is that the one you mentioned who won the Rising Stars Competition?"
Grandpa Xiu showed an interested expression.
"Come on, come on, come to the lounge, let me test your quality."
As he said that, he pushed one person with each hand and led them to the lounge.
Shi Li only felt a huge force pushing on his back, to the extent that he could not resist.
So, under the gaze of Yu Shou, Shi Li returned to the lounge again.
But this lounge is not the same one as before.
This lounge is equipped with fitness equipment.
"The last round took too long and I felt uncomfortable. Wait for me to push a few sets first."
Grandpa Xiu immediately lay down on the bench press and started pushing the barbell with a hissing sound.
The barbell doesn't look heavy, and there is one piece on each side.
“…”
But Shi Li saw that the thin barbell plate clearly said 100kg.
One piece on each side, plus the weight of the bar, it is 210kg.
During the bench press, Grandpa Xiu's triceps were highlighted and he looked quite relaxed.
He felt that even the straw man with the talent [Walker from Another World] in the dungeon might not be as strong as this guy.
The two of them waited by the side and watched him push up 4 sets, 12 in each set.
"Comfortable!"
Grandpa Xiu, who was slightly sweating, sat up from the bench press and continued, "Make a cup of protein powder first, wait a moment."
As he said this, he started to tinker with it again.
The large cup of protein powder didn't look very tasty, so he tilted his head back and gulped it down in one breath.
"Take a shower, wait a little longer."
After saying that, he went into the bathroom again.
"You're a grandpa with a lot to do."
Hearing the sound of the shower coming from inside, Shi Li couldn't help it.
If the other person wasn’t the curator’s grandfather.
If the other party was not the director of the previous term.
Either the opponent has too much muscle, or the opponent has too much muscle, or the opponent has too much muscle.
He had already left.
Fortunately, after taking a bath, Grandpa Xiu didn't waste any more time and summoned the blue light card table with a wave of his hand.
"Come on, play with me."
Buzz!
There are many card holes on the table.
"9+1... OK."
Shi Li thought about it carefully. This was the first time he used his own deck to play 9+1 at the table.
The two of them started laying out their cards without saying much.
He didn't have many cards, so he set them up quickly.
And Grandpa Xiu didn't seem to be taking it too seriously, and he was also moving pretty fast.
bite!
After a crisp sound, the game officially began.
Shi Li was not polite and took the lead in revealing his card.
【Ahhh! 】
A huge half-dead beast occupying 3 spaces on the card crawled out from the surface of the card.
"Well, your card is quite interesting."
Although Grandpa Xiu said this, there was no surprise in his tone.
While speaking, he also revealed his first row of cards.
[Listen, the fury of thunder and lightning! ]
【Kill the enemies with me, charge! 】
【Woof woof roar! 】
All three cards are impressive.
Among them, the card in the middle is the most eye-catching.
“…”
Shi Li raised his eyebrows and looked at the one in the middle.
The projection was of a general wearing ancient armor, riding a strong pure white horse, and holding a halberd.
【Vanguard General】
Chasing the Wind, 30 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100, 0/3
[Vanguard - Passive]: When the Vanguard General is placed in the first row, attack power +10
[Charge - Passive]: Damage +5 for each row of cards between the mounted vanguard general and the target.
[Dismount - 3 Energy]: The Vanguard General abandons his horse, and his HP becomes 50/50
[Tactical Halberd - 2 Energy]: Vanguard General ignores the target's [Defense] this round.
After reading this A-level card, Shi Li almost drooled.
What kind of magical card is this? The output is too high.
Theoretically in a 9+1 game, if he stands in the first row and plays until the opponent's trump card is revealed, then one attack can cause 55 points of damage.
You have to know that this is just a 30-point card, and you have to know that these attack buffs are just passive effects with no consumption.
And if your health is too low, you can choose to [Dismount] to prolong your life.
It's simply a matter of output and output, and saving lives.
Look at the two cards next to it, they are also high-quality B-grade cards.
Click.
"I give up."
On second thought, he pressed the surrender button.
What a joke, why play this kind of cards?
Isn't this just being abused in vain to make others happy?
He won't do that.
"Forehead……"
Grandpa Xiu was caught off guard by such a quick admission of defeat.
In fact , Shi Li really guessed what he was thinking.
He actually paid attention to the Rising Star Comprehensive Competition and watched the live broadcast of the finals.
The so-called testing of one's quality is just to torture the other party.
Because I participated in the Rising Star Comprehensive Competition that year and lost to the champion in the final.
So now that he meets a champion, he wants to take revenge, even though it’s not the same person.
"Hahahaha! You're too straightforward."
Director Xiu seemed to understand Shi Li's mentality and expressed his approval.
Since you know you can't win, why do you let the old man torture you?
"Grandpa, you are obviously bullying me."
"How many poker players are there, how many poker players are there."
She even helped to say a few fair words.
“Hehehe…”
Xiu Batian felt a little embarrassed after being exposed, so he motioned Shi Li to sit down.
"Actually, I've seen your game, you do have some card skills."
He admitted it generously and took the initiative to ask: "The club has a competition next month, do you want to participate?"
"Club? What event?"
On the contrary, when Director Xiu heard it, his eyes showed interest.
She knew that her grandfather was the top VIP in the club, and he was familiar with the club's management, so he sometimes got some inside information in advance.
"This competition is..."
Xiu Batian looked at his granddaughter and said slowly, "Big Brother Cup."
Big Brother Cup, as the name suggests.
That is, only those who have the qualifications of a big brother can participate.
Of course, in theory, it is very easy to get the qualifications of a big brother in the club as long as you find an acquaintance.
But basically no one would do such a thing, because once others knew about it, it would be extremely embarrassing.
This is a world where playing cards is respected, and everyone will consciously abide by certain rules and bottom lines.
"Big Brother Cup? Where will it be held?"
Director Xiu seemed to be more concerned about the venue.
After all, the meaning of being in the club and being outside are different.
"This time, we chose the Holy Spirit Relics which is 300 kilometers away from us."
"I'll go, you must come with me!"
Upon hearing the words "Holy Spirit Relics", Director Xiu immediately slapped Shi Li hard on the back.
He has won the Jade Hand three times and has already qualified to be the big brother.
"What am I going to do, seek abuse?"
Shi Li rolled his eyes.
I know the depth of my deck. It's hard for me to even get a 9+1 game. How can I compete with those veteran players?
"You don't understand this. That is the Holy Spirit Relics, not an ordinary place to play cards!"
"There are invisible and unconscious ancient spirits there. They are floating in the ruins all the time."
"Winning or losing is not the most important thing. What's important is that if your performance in the game is recognized by them, you will receive a favor on the spot!"
Director Xiu explained the reason for his excitement.
She had witnessed with her own eyes that someone was given a very exquisite wedding dress material card at a certain holy relic site.
If she could get this kind of clothes, she could put them on the male paper figures she likes.
"Is there such a thing?"
This was the first time I heard of Shi Li.
Originally, being in this high-tech city, he thought that the cubic metaverse was full of technology, but he didn't expect that there was such a mysterious place.
But it is acceptable. This is a strange world in itself.
"But of course it would be better if we could win."
At this time, Xiu Batian next to him threw something to him: "Take this thing."
