Free Web NovelChapter 1003: Chapter 365 I admit defeat, next one_2
Clearly, if Ree Shil had let Sneak Attack Master + Ugly Man attack Prehistoric Duck Dragon in combination with the DPS from Sword Loss, he could have taken it down all the same.
So why did he choose to let Spirit Lord Red Dragon DPS the Prehistoric Duck Dragon instead? This move directly resulted in a high DPS of 40 points.
Plainly, Ugly Man’s Taunting this round didn’t seem necessary."
These words resonated with the managers, as they all nodded, expressing the same doubt.
You see, right now Ree Shil only has an advantage, not a guaranteed victory.
Such small details not being handled well, he really doesn’t seem like someone who would be rated S in Card Performance.
"..."
Among everyone, only Museum Director Phoenix stayed silent.
He knew all too well, this young lad was simply on a mission!
He wanted every card the other party played to be taken out by Spirit Lord Red Dragon.
(My good brother Ree, you’ve got to grasp this well, don’t mess it up.)
(If you lose this match, you... don’t seem to have any loss, right?)
As he pondered, Museum Director Phoenix suddenly realized something.
The rookie competition didn’t involve points, it was simply an opportunity for players to adapt to online play and for the managers to observe.
Ree Shil was well aware of this.
Truth be told, even in the later professional competitions (?!), he didn’t care about winning or losing at all.
After all, in terms of points, it wasn’t an elimination system.
He was here just to complete missions, after all.
And so, a new action round arrived.
Princess Xinxin showed her new move.
She activated the other two terms of the Scene Card Prehistoric Stratum which had not been utilized before.
Deep Burial of the Earth: Every round, petrify 1 of your Prehistoric cards
Years of Nourishment: Your cards that are petrified gain 20% of their maximum Health Points in Healing
20% health, for Prehistoric Dragon Elephant, that’s 80 health points.
That’s why she insisted on playing Giant Cards even though she knew their weakness.
Percentage-based recovery is just too good for Giant Cards.
Then, after careful consideration, she had Small Spider x2 + Prehistoric Trilobite attack the completely unguarded Spirit Lord Red Dragon, 230/300.
On Ree Shil’s side, there’s not much to say.
Full DPS on Prehistoric Dragon Elephant, 220/400→70/400.
Prehistoric Dragon Elephant received another 80 points of Healing, 70/400→150/400.
The 7th round ends, both sides’ card faces are as follows:
Empty Slot[Trilobite][Trilobite]
Empty Slot[Dragon Elephant][Dragon Elephant]
Empty Slot[Dragon Elephant][Dragon Elephant]
Empty Slot[Empty Slot][Empty Slot]
VS
Empty Slot[Spider][Spider]
[Stealth Master][Empty Slot][Empty Slot]
[Red Dragon][Red Dragon][Red Dragon]
As one manager said, Giant Cards really fear Control.
"This card face doesn’t look good..."
At this time, Museum Director Phoenix looked at both parties’ card faces, his expression grave.
"Hey, Feng Phoenix, aren’t you setting your standards a bit too high for your own player?"
"Exactly, as long as Henry Thompson’s 30 point card doesn’t flop, there’s a good chance of winning."
"What, at this stage, you’re still not satisfied?"
"Exactly, you can’t fake it like this, it’s too stiff."
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but give a sidelong glance.
"You all don’t know squat."
Museum Director Phoenix knew he misspoke, but still replied stiffly.
He didn’t think Ree Shil would lose, but from Ree Shil’s perspective, he was considering whether Spirit Lord Red Dragon could take out the Prehistoric Trilobite to complete the mission.
The new action round came just like that.
On Princess Xinxin’s side.
Prehistoric Dragon Elephant chose to [Defense].
The others Focused Fire on the [Defending] Spirit Lord Red Dragon, causing 70 points of Damage, 230/300→160/300.
Void Commentator: "This time, Princess Xinxin did not use [Petrification] again.
Because she clearly understood, with only 150 Health Points remaining, even if [Petrified], the Prehistoric Dragon Elephant could not be saved.
[Petrification] would have actually delayed [Defense], resulting in no chance to receive another 80 points of Healing."
On Ree Shil’s side.
Sneak Attack Master bypassed [Defense] and attacked the [Defending] Prehistoric Dragon Elephant, inflicting 40 points of damage.
Spirit Lord Red Dragon attacked Defense’s Prehistoric Dragon Elephant, dealing 50 points of damage.
Big Fish Storm attacked 2 slots, dealing 20 points of damage to Defense’s Prehistoric Dragon Elephant.
Prehistoric Dragon Elephant 150/400→40/400.
End of the 8th round, both sides’ card faces were as follows:
Empty Slot[Trilobite][Trilobite]
Empty Slot[Dragon Elephant][Dragon Elephant]
Empty Slot[Dragon Elephant][Dragon Elephant]
VS
Empty Slot[Spider][Spider]
Sneak Attack Empty Slot Empty Slot
[Red Dragon][Red Dragon][Red Dragon]
However, in the following new round, an unexpected event occurred.
Princess Xinxin chose to focus fire on Spirit Lord Red Dragon, and to everyone’s astonishment, Spirit Lord Red Dragon didn’t defend, leading to its defeat.
On Ree Shil’s side, it was Spirit Lord Red Dragon’s dying counterattack that also took down the Prehistoric Dragon Elephant.
After the end of the 9th round, Princess Xinxin was left with a King Card and 2 level-2 cards.
And Ree Shil was left with only 1 regular card. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Eh?" xN
Looking at this situation, the managers were immediately puzzled.
This is not right, is it!
"What’s happening, shouldn’t Spirit Lord Red Dragon have been defending this round,
and then let Sneak Attack Master directly harvest the Prehistoric Dragon Elephant?"
"What is Henry Thompson thinking? This doesn’t seem like a card skill worthy of an S-rank Card Performance!"
"Could it be... is he throwing the game on purpose?"
"Phoenix, did you intentionally let him hide his strength in the newcomer competition? But this is too obvious."
The card game’s progression from the last round to this step was not something everyone expected.
In their opinion, the only way for Ree Shil to win the card game was to have Spirit Lord Red Dragon severely weaken Prehistoric Trilobite first.
Because the beheading line of Prehistoric Trilobite is quite high.
No, to be more precise, it’s not about the beheading line, but the damage threshold.
Under its own skills combined with the Prehistoric stratum, Prehistoric Trilobite could have a 10 points Shield + 10 points damage reduction per round, and then also recover 40 health points.
Translated into specific numbers, this means if one card wishes to inflict damage, it must have at least an attack power of 60 points.
points are negated by the Shield, 10 points are negated by damage reduction, and then 40 points are negated by the amount of healing.
If there are two cards attacking, they will need a combined DPS of 70 points, because you have to count the 10 points of damage reduction twice.
So, in their view, Ree Shil’s best strategy would have been for Spirit Lord Red Dragon to, together with Sneak Attack Master, take down the Prehistoric Trilobite directly.
But now, Spirit Lord Red Dragon was gone.
Void Commentator: "If Henry Thompson wants to win... there are currently only two scenarios.
The first one is that his King Card can reveal itself immediately, then, combined with Sneak Attack Master, attack Prehistoric Trilobite. The combined attack would be sufficient.
But just now we didn’t see the words ’Reveal Immediately.’
The second scenario is that Henry Thompson pulls out an S-rank card capable of a miraculous turnaround.
Of course, the likelihood of that is zero.
Given that his card deck is rated B- Grade, you all understand what I mean."
Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded in agreement, finding it quite reasonable.
Only Museum Director Phoenix in the back felt something was off. The first part was okay, no problem there.
But this guy... he actually does have an S-rank card!
At this moment, only he was looking forward to, hoping that Ree Shil would pull out Kung Fu Sheep God.
Meanwhile, at the card table, Ree Shil seemed to have no intention of doing so.
"Still not bad."
He looked at his mission panel.
The number of living creatures had increased by four, indicating that the prehistoric cards on the other side were all fresh species.
"But it’s not enough, what a pity."
Then he shook his head.
Because he hadn’t filled up completely, when he could have taken five, he only got four.
Moreover, this game tested that the starting hand of this card deck still had problems, not quite suitable for missions.
He would have to adjust it before proceeding.
Lost in thought, Ree Shil pressed the surrender button: "I concede, next one."
"Hmm?"
Just by the ease of it, Princess Xinxin couldn’t shake the feeling that it was the other party who had won the card game?
...
