Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 1074: Chapter 401 You Mortal Insult Me

This guy’s Destiny Card is named "Patience Card," which means the fellow in front of me is none other than the God of Patience.

Now Ree Shil finally understood why, after leaving for several months, the other party was still waiting for him.

The God of Patience obviously wouldn’t lack patience, right?

But this "Patience Card" is truly something else.

You should know that in the Cube Card game, there is more than one time limit per round.

Usually, there’s a time limit for the Substitute Card and Reveal Card Unveiling Stage, and another during the Action Confirmation Stage.

A total of two times.

So, now this means I only have a total of 4 seconds for these two tries.

Especially during the Substitute Card Unveiling Stage with a 2-second time limit, it might be too tight even for a card player with average hand speed to switch cards in time.

And the Action Confirmation Stage is no different; managing 5 or 6 cards at once wouldn’t be easy either.

Lucky for me, my hand speed is pretty fast.

"Ding!

You have exceeded the time limit!"

"Huh?"

However, lost in thought, Ree Shil found that he had already run out of time during this Action Confirmation Stage.

If you exceed the time limit during the action phase, your cards will "Standstill."

As if this round was for naught.

And to top it off, I have to suffer a full 5 points of Health Points loss!

If you miss both times in one round, that’s a loss of 10 points.

"Hehehe, why did you run out of time, huh?" the God of Patience said with a teasing tone.

"..."

Suddenly, Ree Shil found this guy to be quite punchable.

Is he sure he won’t get thrashed when playing cards with other divine deities?

Could it be that he offended a bunch of divine deities and got banished to the Buffer Zone?

"Bwaha~"

Ree Shil glanced over at the fellow across him, who was yawning at the moment.

I’ve run out of time, so next up is waiting for the other party’s Action Confirmation.

Yet this "Patience Card" is quite hypocritical.

It gives the opponent only 2 seconds, but grants the God of Patience a whopping 2000 seconds.

seconds, that’s 33.33 minutes.

Two time limits per round equates to about an hour.

If the God of Patience uses up nearly all of the time each chance he gets...

Is this damn thing really testing the opponent’s patience or its own?

"Bwahaha~"

Just then, he suddenly heard a sly chuckle from across the table.

-5, -5, -5, -5

Above the 4 Reveal Cards on Ree Shil’s side, damage numbers suddenly popped up.

"Ding!

You have exceeded the time limit!"

And before he could come to his senses, the warning chimed in his ear once again.

I missed the Reveal Card Stage again!

"You must actually be called the God of Deceit, right?"

Ree Shil couldn’t help but understand what the other party had done.

Just now, the other party completed their action confirmation early, so the Action Phase began.

And the kicker is, this guy chose to bring all Reveal Cards to a "Standstill."

That way, all cards from both sides will be at a "Standstill."

On the Card Table, nothing happens, jumping straight to the T6 Damage Settlement.

This is to prevent me from having any time to respond and to run out of time once again. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

If this isn’t underhanded, I don’t know what is.

Missing the Reveal Card Stage means I’ve got no cards to play during my turn.

"Oh? How did you know one of my other monikers, huh?" responded the God of Patience from the other side, forgoing his Reveal Card for this round.

With that action, the Reveal Card Stage was skipped, moving directly to the Action Confirmation Stage.

"Damn it."

Luckily, Ree Shil was well-prepared and pressed down with a swift hand.

He commanded the "Spirit Master" to lead the cards in a charge against the "Water-formed Octopus."

Honestly, one card from this guy is weirder than the next.

It’s the first time I’ve come across cards with such bizarre mechanisms.

You could say that cutting down the time limit is an external factor, but that doesn’t seem right either.

After all, the time limit is a part of the Cube Card game too.

This divine deity’s Destiny Card really opened my eyes.

But at the same time, I’ve also grasped the opponent’s play style.

Bluffing and staying the course.

Sometimes they skip quickly or end stages abruptly, catching you off guard with a time out.

Other times they drag out the time limit just to torture you - it’s purely a torment.

This kind of strategy, I must say, is completely unorthodox.

In response, Ree Shil decided he would never indulge such tactics.

It’s just a matter of spending time, after all; I’m in it for the duration.

So he sat down directly.

The God of Patience took note of this act with a smug chuckle in his heart.

Every first-timer facing the "Patience Card" generally reacts with the same attitude.

They start with anger, determined to outlast the God of Patience.

It’s something he has grown accustomed to.

But you see, because of the vast difference in the Time Ratio between the two sides,

Whether fast or slow, the initiative is entirely in his hands.

The advantage of this initiative is that he can play quite loosely.

While the opponent has to closely watch the Card Game at all times, without a moment of slack.

With time, the opponent’s mental endurance suffers greatly.

Forget mere card players, even divine deities can’t withstand such a mental drain.

No, that’s not right; divine deities could handle the mental strain, but who would have that kind of patience?

The strongest patience in the world is right here, isn’t it?

Think you can outlast the God of Patience?

You must be kidding.

However, what the God of Patience doesn’t know is that Ree Shil has plenty of time on his side.

He came here to take advantage of the Time Ratio for an S-rank task.

And furthermore...

Seeing that the God of Patience had no actions planned, he simply lay down on the spot and closed his eyes.

"Hm?"

This baffled the God of Patience for a moment, and then he laughed, "Hehe..."

In the laughter, there was an undertone of anger. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Because it was obvious that this guy was looking down on him.

Actually, against the Burning Rope Strategy, there is one not-so-great solution.
