Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 1041: Chapter 384 [False Saint] Mission_2

[Only using these 5 cards including False Saint, defeat Wind Messenger: 0/1]

"Now, that’s more like it.

The difficulty’s literally dropped by a hundredfold."

Ree Shil hadn’t expected to be this lucky.

These collection missions, somehow, just damn got completed out of nowhere!

"I can understand it from a literal sense.

An A-level or higher Mage Card should refer to ’Master Halsey.’

They’re both monks, so that’s correct, right?

An A-level or higher ’monk’ card is ’Sweeping Monk,’ no issues there.

An A-level or higher ’dragon’ card includes ’Mechanical Sin Dragon,’ ’Time Magic Dragon,’ and ’Wicked Dragon Demon.’

There’s also ’Spirit Master’ and the forthcoming ’Soul Dragon.’

But this A-level ’pig’ card, I clearly don’t have one of those...

Uh, could it be ’Beginning Stick’?

Can the universal tag be used in this way too."

After some pondering, he thought he had found the answer.

The last challenge then became how to become the so-called "One who has attained The Path."

He had Carson Shaw’s phone number on hand.

If all else fails, he could look for an opportunity to ask him at some point.

The reliable reincarnation of gods might know something.

Carrying two S-rank tasks at once made Ree Shil feel a bit pressured, yet even more excited.

Just as he felt he’d had about enough alcohol and was about to call for the little ciliate person to leave.

[Ding Dong!]

[There is a major version update, please check the details.]

A panel popped out in front of him.

Every person still sober in the Exchange’s bar was startled.

Because they were card players too, and had also received the notification.

"What’s going on here?"

The little ciliate person seemed confused.

"A major version update..."

All of a sudden, Ree Shil thought of something.

He pulled out his mobile phone and opened a certain group chat.

[Henry Thompson Gaming Hall Core Group]

[Show Family Head]: Wow, a version update!

[Director Brown]: Truly living to see miracles, I’ve heard Cube Card would get periodic updates, but the last update was nearly a century ago.

[Henry Thompson]: Curator, George Brown, did you guys get it too?

[Henry Thompson himself]: ?, what’s with this group name?

[Henry Thompson himself]: Also, who are you?

In no time, whether it was the Cube Card Metaverse or card players on missions in Instances, everyone received the exact same message. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Ree Shil followed the prompt to open up the panel information, looking through the content that wasn’t very voluminous.

But as the notification indicated, it was indeed a pretty significant update.

This update was just like what Carson Shaw shared with him before, related to Scene Cards.

After reading the entire information, he summarized as follows:

1. Each card game can only bring 1 Scene Card

2. Each Scene Card has only 1 fixed entry + 1 flexible entry

3. During the Replacement Phase, you can select to change the flexible entry, and complete it during the Unveiling Stage

4. The card-making mechanism for Scene Cards has changed

"Wow, this update is quite something."

The little ciliate person opposite him had also finished reading and extracted these key points.

"But this is actually good."

He stroked his large chin and said, "Before, having 3 Scene Cards was just too many, it caused a bit of an imbalance.

Some card decks were so flexible that they became unbalanced; just swap one Scene Card and the entire deck changes to a different style.

The most absurd was when a deck at a big disadvantage could twist fortunes around just by swapping a powerful scene card.

Now it’s actually better, Scene Cards have been greatly weakened.

But at the same time, their functionality is still there, enough to influence the course of the game, but not so imbalanced.

For those guys who rely on Scene Cards to make a living, the margin for error has been greatly reduced.

An A-level Scene Card only has 4 entries, 1 fixed and 3 flexible, meaning no matter how you swap, you’re always shuffling between those 3 flexible entries."

The little ciliate person’s analysis was spot on, and Ree Shil breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he had gotten the message from Carson Shaw early and hadn’t invested too much into Scene Cards.

So for him, this update was rather positive.

Originally, he had planned to focus on Scene Cards for the upcoming Regional Competition.

Looks like he doesn’t need to anymore.

Or rather, a slight effort would suffice, no need for heavy investment.

He glanced at the three Scene Cards he often used.

The fixed entry for [Martial Woods] is a 30-point [First Aid] known as [Emergency Aid].

This one’s okay, acceptable.

After all, this card’s most frequently used aspect was precisely this [First Aid].

Then, Chaotic Frog Post’s fixed entry is the summoning of Frog Soldiers.

Also OK, anyhow this card only has two entries, and this version update doesn’t affect it.

Last is [Sword Soul Palace].

[Sword Soul Palace]

Scene, C, 0/15

[Sword’s Return-Fixed]: Each sword card revealed by the ally provides 1 Energy Point to Sword Soul Palace every round

[Sword Shaking Technique-15 Energy Points]: Sword Soul Palace causes an allied sword card to attack with [Dizziness] for 1 round

The fixed entry is [Sword’s Return], seems like the strategy for this card in the future will be to collect energy for Sword Soul Palace every round, then switch out different active skills to release.

"I’ve got some cheap Scene Card Materials here! Anyone interested?"

Just at that moment, someone in the bar suddenly shouted loudly.

"I’m selling, too!"

"I’ll just lay them out; everyone feel free to pick and choose."

"Right, right, right, I’m selling as well."

Quite a few people caught on, responding one after another.

"This..."

The young man was stunned for a moment, somewhat tempted.

"This is all a normal reaction to the version update, which is particularly unfavorable news for Scene Cards."

Ree Shil wasn’t puzzled, "Because you can only have two entries now, it significantly narrows the gap between C-level and A-level Scene Cards from before.

No, it’s more accurate to say there isn’t really a distinction between C-level and A-level Scene Cards now.

Just look at the new card-making mechanism for Scene Cards.

Consequently, Scene Card Materials will no longer be labeled as A, B, or C.

Naturally, the price of A-level Scene Card Materials will drop."

"Oh? Does that mean, right now, I can purchase previous top-tier A-level Scene Card Materials for a really cheap price?"

Listening to the prices being called out, the young man felt very tempted.

"No rush, just watch. The market for Scene Cards is about to experience a super chill.

Buy when that time comes."

Ree Shil held him back.

Now, Scene Cards have become a 1+1 style, and with the version update, the card-making mechanism has also changed significantly.

Scene Card Materials no longer differentiate between C, B, and A levels.

It could be said that the original A-level has decreased, or the original C-level has increased.

In any case, their prices are definitely going to converge.

Add to that the 1+1 style and only being able to play one card per game, which means the influence of Scene Cards on the game will be weakened; so the trend of prices will certainly be downward.

Therefore, the cost of enhancing Scene Cards will greatly reduce.

Ree Shil checked his own pocket.

He had saved some money during this period, having tens of thousands of Cube coins on hand.

And some Material Cards of OK grade that he had accumulated but didn’t need.

These things should be enough to enhance his Scene Cards.

However, Scene Cards can be made but not right now.

The market will definitely be quite chaotic shortly, so it is better to wait until prices stabilize. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

So Ree Shil also decided to stay in Generation City for the time being; it’s rare to come here, and it will be harder to browse the Exchange in the future.

During the waiting period... he could enter Instances.

The cooldown for [Way of Breakthrough] was only a few days away.

In the days that followed, Ree Shil spent the time eating and drinking with the young man.

Of course, he drank in moderation.

He didn’t touch any of the numerous potions.

Finally, the cooldown for [Way of Breakthrough] ended.

After dealing with miscellaneous matters, Ree Shil locked himself in his hotel room.

Compared to last time, he now had an additional S-rank card [Spirit Master] at his disposal.

Also a Healing card, [Golden Arhats].

The card deck setup was more complete than last time.

"A Full Breakthrough Card Set, right? I’m on it this time."

He clutched the Instance Crystal, and then he vanished on the spot.

After a few seconds, he woke up in a liquid pod.

"Hold on, where is this?"

Ree Shil was taken aback.
