A moment later, all four were ready.

at the same time--

The middle-aged man with glasses across from me suddenly looked up.

His gaze passed over the glasses and landed precisely on Mo Fan.

Then he spoke.

"You did manage to exploit a small loophole."

His voice was soft, and his tone was casual, as if he were stating something perfectly ordinary.

The moment those words were spoken, the card table fell silent.

Murong Jiao was stunned.

Murong Sha's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Fang Xu looked around blankly: "Huh? What vulnerability? Who exploited it?"

Mo Fan's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.

The other party actually saw through his actions?

What is this ghost?

How did the other party see through it?

Logically speaking, the two sides are opponents, and the other side is just a player in the rules. How can they know his/her actions?

unless......

But then, the bespectacled man's next words completely confirmed Mo Fan's guess.

"However, this vulnerability was something I designed intentionally."

He pushed up the round-framed glasses that had slipped off his nose, and a very faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It can be seen as making things a little easier for those who come after."

After saying this, he said no more, lowered his head, and lightly traced the cards on the deck in front of him with his slender fingers.

Eighty-two cards, each shimmering with different colors, flipped over in unison.

Fang Xu's expression changed.

"He...he revealed all his cards?"

That's right.

In the first four rounds, your opponents' hands are all face down, just like in a normal card game—you can't see what they have.

But the bespectacled man simply laid all his cards out on the table, facing Mo Fan and his companions.

As the final test.

He has a total of 82 cards.

At that moment, all 82 cards were turned over, their faces exposed to everyone.

This is now an open game.

Fang Xu asked, puzzled, "What does this mean? Is he telling us to leave?"

Mo Fan offered a contrasting view: "I don't think so. Since he knew I exploited a bug, he probably also knows what our cards are."

Therefore, his revealing his hand cannot be said to be giving us an advantage; it can only be described as a fair competition.

At the same time, Murong Sha carefully observed the other person's figure.

At that moment, it seemed she had finally confirmed the other person's identity.

He tentatively asked, "Who are you? Walker?"

"Walker from the pet training room?"

"Is that Kurapika next to you?"

Indeed, after careful recollection, combined with the other party's clothing and the characteristics of the phantom, Murong Sha came to this conclusion.

[Volker: Exclusive pet instructor at the Magic Academy, and the kingdom's top pet research expert. He authored the "Combat Manual," invented a pet identification device, and was awarded the title of "Honorary Teacher" by the King.]

The Battle Manual is a comprehensive guide to attribute counters, pet personalities, and capture knowledge, serving as the standard guide for pet raising throughout the kingdom.

The ace pet is Kula.

Obsessed with pet experiments, he spends most of his time in the training room, neglecting his appearance; his students jokingly call him "Stinky Teacher." He dislikes blind dates, focusing solely on scientific research, and frequently purchases large quantities of supplies for his experiments.

(P.S.: The browser game and the mobile game seem to be a bit different. In the mobile game, I think Walker's identity is a detective?)

At that moment, the illusory image of the bespectacled man also revealed a smile.

"I really like the title of Honorary Teacher, and the Combat Manual was indeed written by me."

"but......"

Volker coughed lightly.

"The nickname 'Stinky Teacher' was given to me behind my back by some disobedient students. Don't take it to heart."

"in addition......"

Walker looked at Mo Fan.

"Actually, I can't see your cards. After all, I designed the rules. As the rule-maker, I can only check if anyone is taking advantage of loopholes."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan nodded: "I see. It seems I misunderstood you, Professor Walker. I'm sorry."

"However...Professor Walker, I don't know what state you are in right now."

But I still want to ask one question: What kind of world is this really?

Volker didn't answer immediately, but instead adjusted his glasses and smiled:

"If you want the answer, defeat me."

Murong Jiao slammed her hand on the table: "Fine! Then let's see how I deal with you!"

Fang Xu stared at Warwick's cards and swallowed hard. "Boss, I don't think we have a good chance of winning."

He pointed to Warwick's cards, gesturing for Murong Jiao to look closely.

Murong Jiao looked in that direction, and her pupils immediately widened.

"!"

"You cheat!"

Walker smiled and said, "Little girl, you can't say that. I was just lucky."

Murong Jiao clearly disagreed, her eyes widening as she nearly stood up.

"Are you kidding me? Look at your cards yourself, aren't they cheating?!"

"You have a total of 12 electric cards! 12 electric cards? Are you kidding me?!"

At this moment, on the card table...

Of Volker's 82 cards, 12 are electric, and the remaining 70 cards have at least three of each of the other attributes. The entire deck is remarkably well-rounded, with no weaknesses whatsoever!

Chapter 167 cleared?

Walker's expression remained calm.

"So I've lowered the difficulty for you—I've revealed all my cards, but you still have a chance to beat me."

He pushed up his round-framed glasses and spoke as if he were explaining a simple math problem.

"In addition, I will increase your chances of exchanging cards to 12."

"How about it? Do you feel a bit more confident now?"

Murong Jiao crossed her arms and curled her lip.

Can I say that it's not too much at all?

She took a deep breath, her fighting spirit undiminished: "However, no matter what, I still have to give it a try!"

"I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily!"

"Take this, you wretched, smelly teacher!"

When Walker heard this familiar address, his lips twitched, and while he felt helpless, there seemed to be a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

As soon as the words were spoken, the battle officially began.

-

Time passed by, second by second.

The card table was ablaze with light and shadow, and the sound of cards flying everywhere was incessant.

The two sides traded blows rapidly, with offense and defense shifting dramatically. Walker's plays were steady and precise, each card placed in the most opportune moment. Meanwhile, Mo Fan and his three teammates gave it their all, increasing their card-swapping opportunities from 4 to 12, giving them greater room to maneuver.

But the 12 electric cards in Volker's hand are truly an unsolvable problem.

As a versatile attribute, Electric can be combined with any card. This means he has almost no weaknesses, and no matter what attribute cards the other four players play, Volker can find a way to counter them.

After thirty rounds—

The air around the card table seemed to freeze.

Fang Xu sat in his seat, his head tilted to one side, on the verge of tears.

His health bar had long since been reduced to zero; he was simply dragged out until now.

Murong Sha remained silent, her slender fingers pressed against her forehead, her brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Mo Fan leaned back in his chair expressionlessly, staring at his empty health bar, speechless for a full ten seconds.

Murong Jiao rested her hands on the table, her eyes slightly red, and her voice trembled.

"What the hell? How are we supposed to win?"

Yes, they lost.
