"Wow, is this what you drew?"
"You're so lucky, Qing!"
"It's so blinding, damn!"
Each mushroom, each plant, and each grass has its own reaction.
Got B-level material?
Shi Li also found this a little unbelievable.
First of all, the mere appearance of B-level materials in the card pool is already a low-probability event.
You still want to get it. Do you really think everyone is a lucky drawer?
But this is not the point. The point is what Ah Qing wrote next.
"Do you need these two cards?"
Look at what it means, it actually wants to sell material cards.
"How much?"
Shi Li asked.
He is the only one among the group who cares more about material cards, after all, they are useful.
"B-level 100,000, C-level 50,000."
Ah Qing holds up a sign.
"?"
Shi Li was stunned.
"Just kidding."
But Ah Qing immediately erased those numbers and wrote: "Just give it to me as you see fit. I'm too lazy to take it to a specialty store."
It doesn't want to go through so much trouble to make a trip.
"Let me take a look at the cards first. If it's suitable, I'll give it to you at the market price."
At that time, such a path was established.
"OK."
Ah Qing didn't write much and just handed the card over.
As soon as he got the card, Shi Li knew that the other party was really kind.
These two material cards are unlocked.
This shows that Ah Qing trusts himself very much.
After all, the total price of a 1B+1C material card would have to be around 15,000 even if you lower the price.
If it's not locked, there's nothing he can do even if he takes it away directly.
Let’s first take a look at the panels of these two cards.
First, there is the C-grade material.
The material projection is a leaf.
The shape of this leaf looks familiar, as if it is something on the tree giant.
And they are not ordinary leaves, but the kind of leaves on the highest crown of the tree above its head.
The green is quite rich, giving people a feeling of vitality.
[Leaf of World Essence]: Improves the attributes of wood-type cards
“It’s a good thing.”
Shi Li took just one look and couldn't help but admire it.
There are very few materials that can directly improve the quality of the cards, and he has never seen anything that clearly states that it can improve the quality of the cards.
Since this leaf came from the tree giant, the first person he thought of for fusion was naturally the [Tree Giant].
What's more, he doesn't seem to have any wood-related cards except the [Tree Giant].
So I called up the card-making panel in my mind and took a look at the preview.
Sure enough, this material card, when used on the [Tree Giant], can increase its health by 20 points.
Although 20 points is not a lot for a monster with 400 health points, the problem cannot be viewed in this way.
This is a free upgrade, so why not do it?
"I want this card."
Shi Li held the [Leaf of World Essence] between his two fingers and said, "As for the price, I'll give you 10,000."
"?"
Ah Qing put a big question mark and continued writing: "You gave too much."
Just because it's too lazy to go to a specialty store doesn't mean it doesn't understand the market.
Material cards like [Leaf of World Essence] should be considered the best among C-level material cards.
In a specialty store, it is estimated to be sold for around 8,000 or 9,000 yuan.
But that is the price sold by the specialty store. If they were purchasing it , they would definitely not give 8,000 or 9,000.
In its psychological expectation, the specialty store would only offer a purchase price of around 7,000 at most, because other people open stores to make money.
Shili asked for 10,000 yuan right away, which was much more generous than the specialty store and equivalent to more than 40% more.
"It's okay. This material is more compatible with one of my cards."
Shi Li waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big deal.
When it comes to knowledge of specialty stores, he is no worse than Ah Qing.
The extra balance was actually the ticket fee he paid.
After all, the copy key belongs to Ah Qing. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have the chance to get 20 draws or the chance to get 3 B-level cards.
What's more, I'm rich now.
Ah Qing seemed to understand the meaning and didn't say anything more.
Next is the second material card, the B-level one.
Its projection looks like a piece of unknown metal.
[Giant Tree Core Iron]: The metal component in the heart of the tree giant
"Forehead……"
Shi Li didn't expect that the second material actually came from the tree giant.
Taking the compatibility into consideration, we will preview the result of the fusion with the [Tree Giant].
Sure enough, it can be integrated.
Can increase the attack power of [Tree Giant] by 40 points.
Of course, 40 points will also be added.
This seems unnecessary for Shi Li.
120 points for 4 boxes is equivalent to 30 points for 1 box, which is actually the average score.
But 4 times 160 points means 40 points per box.
If it is a 6+1 game with a full score of 210 points, it alone accounts for 160 points, which is too much of a squeeze on the living space of the remaining 3 cards.
Only the 9+1 game with a full score of 300 points can accommodate it, but it still squeezes out other cards.
In general, a high score is not necessarily a good thing. Being too bloated will hinder the rationality of the deck combination.
Therefore, he does not intend to have this fusion.
(etc.)
But the word "iron" in the name of the material reminded Shi Li of another card of his.
【Iron rod】.
After taking a look, he almost shuffled the cards directly, forgetting to pay the bill first.
[Iron Rod] + [Giant Tree Core Iron] = [Iron Rod]
【Iron rod】
Break, 20 points, B
Attack 35, 100/100, 0/2
[Iron Products - Passive]: Iron rod's attack power +5
[Iron Products - Passive]: Iron rod's attack power +5
[Iron Products - Passive]: Iron rod's attack power +5
The passive ability of iron products suddenly turned into three lines.
It simply increases attack power, which is extremely simple yet quite practical.
The permanent attack of 20 minutes and 35 points is a bit exaggerated.
(With this card in hand, I can even build a full B-level 6+1 lineup).
He felt that the recent wave of improvements was really great.
Seeing this expression at this time, Ah Qing knew that the other party was moved again.
"This card is 1W."
This time it took the initiative.
I've already received your love once, it would be a bit too much to ask for it again.
"Okay, no problem."
Shi Li looked at the other person deeply and said, "Thank you."
Two material cards, both very useful on their own.
However, I spent 20,000 yuan of my fortune in one go, so it seems I don’t need to go to the specialty store for the time being.
Keep 18,000 yuan in case of emergency.
"I didn't realize you're so good, Qing. You can actually draw two material cards out of 10 draws."
Seeing that Ah Qing made 20,000 yuan in one transaction, Mosaichu couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not a smoke."
But unexpectedly, Ah Qing raised the sign and added a line of words: "I picked it up from the dungeon."
"?" x4
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Because they have never heard of being able to take things out of a copy.
"Is it because of...your talent as a poker player?"
Shi Li was the first to react.
Ah Qing's card player talent is [Travel Frog], which allows him to gain extra personal load when entering a dungeon.
You should know that for normal poker players, the personal burden they obtain is extremely low.
This thing does not improve as the player level increases.
In fact, the material cards that Ah Qing brought were just projections.
Assuming that the load is sufficient, if a player carries an item out of the dungeon, the item will be intercepted before entering the pure white space and converted into a projection, that is, the material card enters the player's pocket.
The key in this process is that you must first have enough weight to "bring" the object out.
And if you want to put the physical copy into the "pocket", there is another very important rule, that is, its weight will be multiplied many times in the judgment.
For example, the [Leaf of World Essence] may not be a leaf, but as the precious "hair" of the tree giant, its size and weight can be imagined.
As for the [Giant Tree Core Iron], which was obviously very heavy just by looking at the name, Shi Li estimated that what Ah Qing could carry at that time might be just a piece as big as a peanut.
But it must be admitted that without this player's talent, other players would not be able to bring things out of the dungeon so easily.
Sure enough, Ah Qing’s own explanation was basically the same as Shi Li’s judgment.
It completely emptied the doll costume and put the two materials back in place.
"My goodness, if I rely on you in the dungeon, I can get whatever materials I want."
After listening to this, Mosaichou sighed.
"How annoying! I want to participate in the dungeon, too!"
Slime made up his mind that next time he went into the dungeon with everyone, he would never get eliminated in an instant again.
“I am very pleased to see that the team configuration is becoming more and more perfect.”
Shi Li stood by and looked at everyone and nodded.
Slime, a lucky mascot.
Ah Qing, a porter.
Straw man, a strong laborer.
Mushroom, to be determined.
"?"
Mosaigu was dissatisfied with his own evaluation: "What about you? What is your own position?"
"Of course I'm the captain."
Shi Li folded his arms.
…
On the 7th day after leaving the world of insect elves, Shi Li received a call from Director Xiu.
If it were Secretary He or Deputy Director Lanpi, he would definitely find an excuse to get away with it.
But since it was the curator who spoke, he still had to go over there.
It just so happened that Mushroom and the others were about to go to work, so they followed along.
On the way to the card hall, Shi Li guessed the purpose of the show's director calling him this time.
Looking at the time, I guess the preliminaries of the city competition are about to begin.
He still didn't know the specific rules, so the curator of this show probably wanted to explain these things to him.
I walked into the card hall and greeted all my colleagues.
Everyone was very enthusiastic and gave him a thumbs-up in welcome.
Out of politeness, Shi Liyi gave a thumbs-up in return.
Among them, one octopus guy was the most active. He laughed and cursed, saying things like "Long time no see" and "Where have you been?", while giving him thumbs-up greetings with his eight hands in turn.
He also responded positively to the other party and quietly broke the other person's pencil when passing by his workstation.
In this way, we walked all the way and arrived at Director Xiu's nominal office, which was Secretary He's actual office location.
I knocked on the door and went in, and sure enough, both she and Secretary He were there.
To his surprise, the old curator was also there, sitting on the sofa, lifting dumbbells and exercising his biceps.
"Two things."
When Director Xiu saw him coming, he didn't even raise his head.
He was busy signing the office documents given to him by Secretary He.
In fact, she didn't even look at the specific contents of the document. If it weren't for Secretary He, she wouldn't have known it if someone else had sold her out.
"Forget it, you tell me."
As a result, Director Xiu still found it troublesome and entrusted the explanation to Secretary He.
"Coach Shi, sit down."
Secretary He was already accustomed to this situation and began to introduce things.
"The first thing is that the selection of representatives for the city competition has begun."
Sure enough, it was just as Shi Li expected.
"But this schedule will be a bit complicated. Please listen to me and I will explain it to you slowly."
"First of all, the representative for this city competition must naturally be selected from our city."
"Finally, three representatives were selected."
The city where they live has a population of over a million.
Although not everyone is keen on playing cards, choosing only three people can almost be considered one in a million.
To be honest, facing such a ratio, although Shi Li agreed to compete in the card hall, he did not have much confidence.
"What you need to know is that these three representatives are not necessarily from our card room circle."
Then Secretary He said.
"Although our card room specializes in playing cards, there are many talents in every industry, and our industry is not necessarily the only one that dominates."
"In previous years, it was rare for our card room to take up all three spots. Usually, we would have one spot, and getting two spots was considered good."
In the Cube Card Metaverse, there are many people playing cards.
People who open florists, sell breakfast, and guard the door may all be card-playing masters. There are countless such examples.
"Strictly speaking, what we are doing now is a selection within the industry."
"That is, selecting the representatives who will participate in the representative trials."
Secretary He's words were a bit difficult to understand, but Shi Li still understood them.
The general meaning is that the card hall industry in this city needs to select some players and send them to participate in the city's representative selection competition to compete with players sent by other industries for the only three places.
"So the start I just mentioned was the internal selection within our card room."
"This time, the directors of all the card halls, including me, have discussed and decided that the internal selection method is - a challenge match."
Next, he explained to Shi Li in detail what a challenge match was.
The challenge match is actually a selection competition based on a points system.
It is divided into two parts: challenging and defending.
One card hall sends a representative to the other card hall to play a 6+1 card game.
The winning side gets 3 points.
The losing side gets no points.
The rule of the challenging party is that a card room can only be challenged once, regardless of success or failure.
"Because the official city selection will be in three months, the time limit for our internal competition will also be three months."
"During these three months, you can choose any time to challenge the master."
"If the guard is not here, the kick-out will be postponed for 3 days."
"Once the challenge is issued, the challenger must arrive on time. If the challenger does not show up after three days, he or she will be deemed the loser."
"When facing the same challenger, the defender can postpone the fight three times in total. If he fails to respond three times, he will be declared the loser."
"Each card room can only send one player to serve as the challenger and defender."
"It was you who was reported to our card room."
"So in theory, you have to play two games with every representative from other gyms, one for you to challenge the other gym, and one for you to defend the other gym."
"By the way, players who have represented this city in the city tournament before will not be allowed to participate again."
In fact, whether you are challenging or defending the club, the table rules are the same.
It's nothing more than a two-round system, which gives players more room for error.
As for things like kicking out or defending a hall, it is a tradition among card halls and can be seen as a sense of ritual.
"Okay, I understand."
Shi Li nodded and asked, "What about the second thing?"
When he raised this question, the old curator put down the dumbbells.
Because the second thing was said by him.
"Boy, how long have you been here?"
He asked first.
"Hmm... about 456 months, I can't remember exactly."
"Then did you know that the Cube Metaverse is divided into seven regions?"
"Know."
"Then do you know which district our city belongs to?"
"Yes, Balance District."
The concept of a region here is quite large.
Shi Li didn't know exactly how big it was, he just knew that one large region alone was much larger than his hometown Blue Star.
The city competition they are going to participate in is actually just the city competition in the Balanced Region.
"Okay, now that you know, let me introduce something to you."
"Our Balance Region's specialty, [The Way of Balance]."
As he spoke, the old curator walked to the desk, opened Curator Xiu's drawer, and took out a crystal from it.
"This is... the key to the replica."
Shi Li had already recognized it.
The crystal is hexagonal in shape, like a token.
In the middle of the token were written two big words: Balance.
“Yes and no. This is not the copy key you understand.”
The old curator said as he threw it towards Shi Li.
“This is a growing + reusable copy that will grow with your player level.”
"Bind it, it's yours."
The crystal fell into Shi Li's hands.
"this……"
He felt that the old curator was too generous. Wasn't he just giving away the copy key so casually?
"Don't worry, although this thing is hard to find, it's not expensive either."
Director Xiu seemed to have sensed his emotions.
One hand signed, the other hand turned palm up.
Buzz!
The same hexagonal copy key appeared, and there was a projection on it with three big words "Four Levels and Eight" written on it.
"You've been so idle lately, girl. You're still at [Fourth Level Eight]?"
The old curator seemed very dissatisfied with those three words and pressed her head with his big hand.
"Don't worry, with the Xiu family's background, this thing is actually not precious. We all have it."
Seeing the old director bullying Director Xiu, Secretary He continued the introduction on his behalf.
He also showed his [Way of Balance], which read [Four Levels and Three].
"Look at Xiao He, his poker player level is not as good as yours, but now he has reached level 4-3!"
"Maybe one day I'll catch up with you, aren't you ashamed?"
Seeing his numbers, the old curator became even angrier.
“Ahem.”
Secretary He coughed twice after his success and said to Shi Li with a smile: "This copy is really special. I'd rather leave it for you to explore and explore. I won't introduce it in detail."
"Anyway, you should find it very interesting."
After hearing what the other party said, Shi Li actually became interested.
But just when he wanted to check the copy information, there was a knock on the office door.
"Director He, there's someone outside who wants to challenge us!"
The coach didn't know there were other people inside, and called to Secretary He through the door.
