Sorry, I don't play poker with luck

Chapter 289 Manager wins + major version update
A new phase of action has arrived again.

Stand here now.

[Martial Arts] releases 30 points of [First Aid] for [Sneak Attack Master].

[Golden Brave Sheep] conducted [Defense].

[Sneak Attack Master] performed [Defense].

[Blind Swordsman] attacks the [Defending] [Mount Emperor Turtle], causing 10 points of damage and gaining 1 point of energy.

[Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] releases its skill to attack the [Defending] [Mountain Emperor Turtle], causing 20+20 points of damage.

[Golden Brave Sheep]'s 2 rounds of [Stay] are over and it will retire.

The corner man is here.

[Mountain Emperor Turtle] performs [Defense].

[Card of Horns] attacks [Defending] [Sneak Attack Master], causing 30 points of damage.

[Shan Emperor Turtle] gained 15 points of [Healing].

After the end of the second round, the cards of both sides are as follows:

【Card of Firmness】

300 points, remaining 0 cards 0 points

【犄角】2/2【空位】【帝龟265】4/4
【Empty seat】【Empty seat】【Empty seat】

【Empty seat】【Empty seat】【Empty seat】

【Empty seat】【Empty seat】【Empty seat】

VS
【Empty seat】【Empty seat】【Empty seat】

[Blind Sword 40] 1/1.5 [Vacant] [Vacant]

[Sheep and Rabbit] 2/3 [Sneak Attack 25] [Vacant]

【Cover】【Empty Seat】【Empty Seat】

250 points, remaining 1 cards 50 points

【Martial Arts】(6/9)

In this round, the corner player takes the initiative and chooses 2 out of 1.

Don't look at [Blind Swordsman] gained another 1 point of energy, but it's hard to use it now.

If the opponent uses skills and [Blind Swordsman] does not [defend], it will lead to being taken away and involve [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] losing a huge amount of health.

But for [Defense], if the opponent chooses to take away [Sneak Attack Master], [Blind Swordsman] will waste another output opportunity.

At this time, the shortcomings of [Sneak Attack Master] are exposed.

Because once it attacks during the unveiling phase, the opponent can use its behavior this round to infer the behavior of its other cards.

(Forget it.)
But Shi Li knew that [Sneak Attack Master] could not be retained.

Even if [defend], they will be taken away by the opponent.

Then comes a new stage of action.

Stand here now.

[Sneak Attack Master] attacks [Mountain Emperor Turtle], causing 30 points of damage.

[Martial Arts] releases 30 points of [First Aid] on [Sneak Attack Master].

[Blind Swordsman] releases a skill to attack [Defending] [Mountain Emperor Turtle], causing 30 points of damage, and deducting 1 point of its energy, invalidating [Steady Fighting Spirit].

[Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] attacks the [Defensive] [Shandi Tortoise], causing 25 points of damage.

The corner man is here.

[Mountain Emperor Turtle] performs [Defense].

[Card of Horns] attacks [Sneak Attack Master], causing 65 points of damage and taking it away.

[Shan Emperor Turtle] gained 15 points of [Healing].

After the end of the second round, the cards of both sides are as follows:

【Card of Firmness】

300 points, remaining 0 cards 0 points

【犄角】2/2【空位】【帝龟195】4/4
【Empty seat】【Empty seat】【Empty seat】

【Martial Arts】(7/9)

Seeing this card, I immediately knew that I was safe.

After all, his trump card hasn’t been revealed yet.

He even started to review it in his mind.

As an S-level card, [Card of Horns] is extremely powerful.

But no matter how strong the S-level cards are, there is still a limit.

If the opponent loses, he loses, too hasty.

Being too eager to quickly accumulate attack power is a bit like exchanging blood with yourself at any cost.

Indeed, it is true that the [Card of Horns] accumulated a huge amount of attack power when it was revealed.

But his own cards were not bad either, with a lot of regular cards left, while the opponent had only 2 regular cards left when the [Card of Horns] was revealed.

S-level cards are strong, but they are not just 1VN casually.

Speaking of the unveiling, there is another point. The guy opposite is too pretentious.

In fact, he did not reveal the card for one round, and then revealed the [Card of Horns].

If it is revealed one turn earlier, it can be charged and outputted one turn earlier. There is no need to stick to accumulating a few points of attack power.

Finally, there is one more crucial point for you to win.

That was the first round. I successfully used [Three-Eyed Spy] to trick the opponent.

Otherwise, if [Golden Demon King Ox] changes its target to [Weapon Master], the situation will definitely become different.

If it were in the past, these words would have been said immediately on the card table.

But this time, he tried his best to show respect to his opponent.

It can be said that it depends on the meal.

No, it should be up to God.

Yes, based on various signs, he suspected that the other party was a god.

Even if not, it must have something to do with the gods.

In fact, it's not like he has never seen S-class cards before.

To be more precise, I saw a few on TV.

S-level cards are very strong, but they don't seem to be as strong as [Card of Horns].

If the S-level card he saw before was level 1, then this [Card of Horns] felt like level 1.2S, although there was no such criterion.

Although these thoughts were all in Toki Li's heart.

But he didn't know that he had been penetrated.

【I heard the music in his mind】

[He is despising the horns]

Outside the blue light barrier, the Antenna Man said this.

[Hahahaha, are you despised?]

[It’s true, there are three scene cards of seven series, and the result is like this]

【Who insists on pretending】

[Shame on you, shame on you, even if you win like this, it’s like losing, right?]

【If I had been allowed to play, I would have won cleanly】

[You can laugh at him for a long time later]

The Antenna Man's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

In this atmosphere, a new stage of action arrives.

Stand here now.

[Blind Swordsman] performed [Defense].

[Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] releases its skill to attack the [Defending] [Mountain Emperor Turtle], causing 20+20 points of damage.

The corner man is here.

[Mountain Emperor Turtle] performs [Defense].

[Horned Card] released a skill on [Defense]'s [Blind Swordsman], causing 37.5 points of damage.

Causes 37.5 points of damage to [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] behind.

At the same time, the standing trump card is displayed as ready to be revealed.

[Shan Emperor Turtle] gained 10 points of [Healing].

After the end of the second round, the cards of both sides are as follows:

【Card of Firmness】

300 points, remaining 0 cards 0 points

【犄角】1/2【空位】【帝龟165】4/4
【Empty seat】【Empty seat】【Empty seat】

【Empty seat】【Empty seat】【Empty seat】

【Empty seat】【Empty seat】【Empty seat】

VS
【Empty seat】【Empty seat】【Empty seat】

[Blind Sword 2.5] 0/1.5 [Vacant] [Vacant]

[Sheep and Rabbit 62.5] 2/3 [Vacant] [Vacant]

【Reveal immediately】【Vacancy】【Vacancy】

250 points, remaining 1 cards 50 points

【Martial Arts】(7/9)

When he came to this card, he immediately knew that he had won and the opponent had no power to resist.

unless……

He didn't dare to think too much about planting a flag like this and quickly revealed his trump card.

Ding!
【The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky~! 】

On the projection of the card, a handsome young man dressed in a white robe + standing with his hands behind his back + stepping on a flying sword + with a fairy air flew out from the card.

【Flying Sword Immortal】

Tingfeng, 30 points, A
攻20+10，220/220，0/3
[Flying Sword - Passive]: Flying Sword Immortal's attack power -10, no consumption per round [Move] 1 time

[Xianfei-Passive]: When Feijianxian causes 3 displacements in total, gain 1 layer of [Barrier] in the next round

[Sword Immortal-Passive]: Flying Sword Immortal cannot [Defend] and [Attack], every time [Move] can cause 1 (1) points of damage to the target
[Flying Immortal - 1 point of energy]: Flying Sword Immortal performs [Movement] an extra time

([Barrier]: This round offsets the damage with the largest value once)

【Um? ! 】

Through the curtain, Shili could clearly see that Kakuto on the opposite side paused for a moment.

Although he has 50 points in hand, in the current situation, the [Flying Sword Fairy] that can [move] is obviously more suitable.

As soon as this card was played, several people outside the blue light barrier were amazed.

[This card is a good card]

[There are so many cards on the field now, it’s simply too high to allow birds to fly]

[And it is "damage" not "attack", and can bypass the damage reduction provided by the Firm Card]

[It's a pity that this guy with horns couldn't hold on. 】

[That’s right, we could have seen a shooting game at the end of the card game]

[Hahaha, don’t tell me, it’s really a shooting game]

They have already made a judgment on the cards of both sides at this time.

What Tokidachi is actually a little worried about is that the opponent's scene cards will be changed.

But if the scene card is changed, [Shandi Tortoise] will lose the blessing of [Stalwart King], and the HP and upper limit will drop by 50 points.

This way, you will win faster. [Hmph, do you think this is the end?]

However, Kakuto seemed to understand Tokidachi's thoughts and let out a cold snort.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand.

call out!
【Boom...】

I saw a large phantom formed by a circle of strange horns rising from the ground.

There are many invisible shadows hovering over the formation.

Although silent, it seems like they can be heard whispering.

【Horn Clan Divine Array】

Scene, S…

【Crack! 】

However, before Shili could finish browsing the scene card, the blue light barrier above his head suddenly cracked, attracting his attention.

In just one second, the entire blue light barrier cracked open.

【Horns, enough】

[Don’t take out that card of yours]

[Isn’t that embarrassing enough? Hahaha]

The others behind the curtain sounded sarcastic.

"..."

This sudden situation made Toki Li remain silent.

It was the first time he knew about the blue light barrier on this card table, that someone could directly intervene.

Now, his guess about the identities of these guys is more solid.

But...a row of gods?
Is this posture too big?

It’s true that I heard that gods don’t have any airs, but they seem too idle, right?

So many people come to interview me, a small poker player?

[Ahem, you performed very well]

[Passed the assessment]

Horns hid behind the curtain and coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

In fact, their assessment does not require players to win.

On the contrary, it is almost impossible for the player to win.

That's why he was embarrassed after being beaten so badly.

【Since you are the one who killed me, then you should deal with the aftermath】

At this time, the Antenna Man left a message and left the scene first.

In fact, they had already collectively agreed to pass this assessment when Horns unveiled the [Card of Horns].

The rest of the game is just that the horns are unwilling to end.

call out!
At that moment, he saw the human silhouette suddenly emit a flash of light and then disappear completely.

call out!call out!call out!
Several other shadows followed closely behind.

【If you want to ask anything, just ask】

The horns that were left behind sat down again.

"senior."

The other party revealed his identity, so Shi Li didn't point it out.

In fact, he really had something to ask.

"Did you get those scene cards from the Seven Elements?"

That's his biggest concern.

【Yes】

[After passing the 7th level of the Seven Elements, you can get a customized scene card]

"Customized scene cards mean..."

[That is, within the limit of a certain number of points, you can select inscriptions and modify them into scene card entries]

"It's really like this, it's amazing."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh.

"But aren't the cards of the seven series obtained after passing the seventh level used to make wishes?"

"Collect seven of them and summon the dragon."

[Haha, where did you hear this rumor from?]

【Absolute thing】

"Senior... the highest level of the Seven Elements is probably only the 6th level."

"How can I enter the 7th level?"

This issue is definitely Shili's biggest concern.

The seven levels of the Seven Elements are from level 7 to level 0.

The seventh level that the other party mentioned was something he had only seen mentioned in the "Ajun Diary" before.

Now listening to what the other party said, the seventh level actually does exist.

【This is a question...】

The horn on the opposite side paused.

【You are not qualified to know yet】

[Ask me again when you have done a good job as a manager]

Obviously, he had no intention of telling Toki Li.

"..."

Although Tokidachi also knew that it might not be that easy to get the answer, he was still a little disappointed.

Then before he could react, a bolt shot out from the corner of the horn through the curtain and engulfed his forehead.

hum!
After the brain shook, there was some more information about the manager.

"Manager performance..."

Now, he finally understood the meaning of this achievement.

But when it comes to looking for performance, I have a place to go.

You want to know why Zhu Shisan managed to kill 60 evil demons in just 100 days?
That's of course because Duan is in his old nest.

Now that we have discovered the opponent's lair, if we follow the clues... we might actually be able to find some valuable money. Oh no, it's the hateful card player criminal.

After Tokidachi finished digesting the information, Horns spoke again.

[Okay, that’s it for today]

[Again, you played well]

[These three material cards are matching and can be regarded as a reward for you]

As he spoke, three cards passed under the curtain and floated to Tokidachi.

call out!
Then, the horn disappeared in a flash.

"what?"

Picking up these three cards, Shi Li couldn't help but be stunned.

……

……

Monthly pass
[Version update patch]

Dear players and designers:

After practical feedback and an overnight meeting with the gods in the group, the following updates were made.

[-]. Card fine-tuning

In view of the two consecutive games, the excessively excellent performance of [Bi An Xian] showed signs of imbalance.

Therefore, we will fine-tune it temporarily and continue to observe:

[Bi'an Xian]: 3 points of energy limit → 5 points of energy limit

[Manzhu Shahua]: 3 points of energy consumption → 4 points of energy consumption

[-]. New mechanism

After the last round of updates, summoning cards still failed to effectively target summoning cards.

The knife-blocking effect of summons/derivatives is still too strong, and a new summon mechanism is now added:
Summons/tokens will be divided into two types in the future.

Minion level: no entry, low panel, low summoning cost, unable to block attacks (similar to [Exile])
Elite level: There are entries, the panel is relatively high, the summoning cost is high, and it still has the function of blocking the knife.
The specific strength adjustment will be displayed when the card appears.

[-]. Card rework

1. Summoning cards and derivative cards have too many entries that do not match the strength of the cards, resulting in an imbalance in the game.

The entries for summon/derived cards are now redone to:
Number of main card entries + number of summons/derivative entries = level entries
which is

The number of entries for A-level main cards + the number of entries for A-level summons/derivatives = 4 entries

Levels B, C and so on.

2. For specific examples, we redid it while retaining the core mechanism of [Martial Monkey].

At the same time, [Sweeping Student] was redone to [Sweeping Monk] as compensation.

New version:

【Martial Monkey】

Balanced, 20 points, A
Attack 20, 100/100
[Stone Monkey - Passive]: When the Wu Monkey's health reaches 0, it will become a [Stone Monkey] that is in the [Petrified] state continuously.

[Fire Eye - 1 time]: Wu Hou can choose a regular folded card to activate [See Through] at the revealing stage, and make it [Lock]

【Stone Monkey】

Balanced, 0 points, A
Attack 0, 50/50
[Return-Passive]: If the stone monkey does not leave the field for 2 rounds, it will become [Wu Hou] again at the time of settlement.

[True False-Passive]: Stone Monkey can release [Camouflage] on one of its own foreign cards, only once per round

compensate:

【Sweeping Monk】

Firm, 20 points, C
攻20，100/100，0/2
[Calmitude-Passive]: The sweeping monk cannot [Defend] and [Attack]

[Counterattack-Passive]: When the sweeping monk is attacked, he immediately attacks the target.

3. In order to facilitate the understanding of players and designers, here we show the modifications of [Two-Headed Captain] as the main body of the low-cost minion card.

Correction:

【Two-headed captain】

Berserk, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100
[Captain-Passive]: For each summoning card owned by the two-headed captain, attack power +5
[Sense of Achievement - Passive]: Every time the two-headed captain's summon card launches an attack, it can get 5 points of [healing]

[Recruits gathering -30 → 10 health points]: The two-headed captain issues a gathering command and summons [trainee recruits] at the 1st tablet.

【Practice recruits】

Rampage, 5 points, E
Attack 5, 10/10
The health cost of [Recruit Gathering] has been reduced by 20 points.

The attack power of [Trainee Recruit] has been reduced.

This turns [Two-Headed Captain] into a card that relies more on summons to bring benefits to itself, and at the same time uses itself as the main body of the battle.

4. In order to facilitate the understanding of players and designers, here we show the modifications that [Horn Magician], as the main body of the high-cost elite card, has received.

Correction:

【Horned Magician】

Listening to the wind, 30 points, B
攻30，100/100，0/3
[Hellfire - 3 points of energy]: The Horned Mage summons 1 [Hellfire] on an empty tablet, only once per game.

【Hellfire】

Berserk, 40 points, B
Attack 40, 150/150
[Huge size - passive]: Hellfire occupies 1 row of 2 tiles, life value +50
[Continuous Burning-Passive]: Hellfire deals 10 points of [ignite] damage to adjacent units every round

Eliminated the "warlikeness" and "irritability" of "Horned Magician".

Taking into account the cost of charging the wind-listening system, the energy consumption has been reduced by 1 point.

[Hellfire]'s [Heavenly Fire Coming] has been removed, but its golden edge attribute is still maintained.

Turn [Horn Magician] into a card that mainly relies on summons to fight. After the summons is completed, it can participate in attacks/absorb damage.

5. The strength of other related cards will be adjusted when they appear on the stage.

The above is the entire content of this update patch.

I wish all the players and designers a happy life.

(End of this chapter)
