Looking at his own hand, he also had a card in position 1, but it came with a score quota of 60 points.
In summary, the card he revealed was...
[Ding ding ding ding ding♪~ Ding ding ding ding ding♫~]
A melodious tune rang out from the face of the card.
Many in the audience from the Balance District, watching through the screen, recalled a familiar scene.
Indeed, a Water Sprinkler Truck slowly drove out.
"What a coincidence, the card I revealed this turn is also a vehicle card."
[Water Sprinkler Truck]
Determination, 60 points, E
Attack 60, 100/100
Unbeknownst to many, this card had become a high-scoring card after various modifications.
And yet... it had no special abilities, still an E-level card.
It was purely for a joke, occasionally put into a Substitute Card deck.
Who would have thought it would actually get a chance to appear today; one can only say it was fate.
Hunchback Woman:[Wow wow wow! He actually revealed an E-class card at a time like this?!]
Museum Director Phoenix:[..., Strictly speaking, E-class cards are rarer than S-rank cards in this tournament.]
Museum Director Phoenix was right; who would bring out an E-class card for no reason!
But you can’t accuse Ree Shil of insulting his opponent either since he indeed needed a 60-point card to fill his score quota completely.
Both sides finished revealing cards, and the Action Phase arrived.
This round was a crucial turn in the card game.
The first to go was [Pointed Shield King’s Guard], finally killed off.
In an effort to protect the [Special Operator], Meilai once again used [Commander Doctor] to swap its position with the [Special Operator].
But Ree Shil wouldn’t be fooled by the same tactic a second time so easily.
His direct target for focusing fire was the [Special Operator].
So, as soon as the [Special Operator] hit the ground, it was beaten up by a bunch of burly men.
Lacking self-protection ability, it was immediately removed from play.
The key point here is that, with the loss of the only sustaining card, it’s clear to any discerning eye that Meilai is at a distinct disadvantage.
Even though the Peach Blossom Jade Deer was left with low health due to being targeted,
at least it could heal a bit more next turn, and the presence of the [Climbing Dragon] acted indirectly as a sustain mechanism.
After all, as long as it occupied a grid, it could increase its health.
Now in the late stages of the game, various cards were successively exiting play.
[Climbing Dragon], being a Withered card, was not short on energy at all.
And so, Ree Shil steadily advanced using the [Climbing Dragon] as a protective wall.
He gradually eroded the opponent’s card grid, harvesting their cards.
In the end, he won with a clear edge. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Thus, the Balance Representative Team advanced to the next round with a score of 2:1.
And their opponents would be drawn from the Berserk Representative Team, Wind Chasing Representative Team, and Determination Representative Team.
The good news is, the Wisdom Representative Team was taken down by the Berserk Representative Team.
All being top-tier teams, it wasn’t considered an upset no matter who defeated whom.
It’s just that after the early stages of the district competition, the Berserk Representative Team started to show signs of gaining momentum.
Now, having stepped on the Wisdom Representative Team, they’ve shown their prowess to a great extent.
As for the Wisdom Representative Team, they had to swallow the bitter pill of defeat.
They will decide the 5th and 6th places against the Listening to the Wind Representative Team and hence eliminate the bottom 5th and 6th place players.
Such a fierce showdown at the bottom of the rankings was unexpected before the tournament began.
However, another surprising turn of events occurred in the top 4.
The Balance Representative Team drew the Berserk Representative Team, which made the faces of the Wind Chasing Representative Team and Determination Representative Team bloom with joy.
For these two teams who were previously at the bottom, at least there was a chance to compete for the 1st or 2nd place.
Even taking 2nd place would be considered regaining a lot of lost ground.
The catch, however, was that the Balance Representative Team was eliminated with a score of 1:2.
Ree Shil was the only one to win a game; Little Lashes and number 3, Henry Thompson, were successfully targeted and taken down by the opponents.
In the end, they had to compete with the old acquaintances from the Determination Representative Team for 3rd and 4th place. Even winning meant they would still have to eliminate 3 players.
Greenfeather and Samuel Chess were thus forced to say goodbye to the stage.
In the battle against the Determination Representative Team, the Balance Representative Team’s victory was hard-earned.
They managed a 2:1 win.
It goes to show that at the card table, everyone is equal.
But aside from those eliminated, the most frustrated person was Little Lashes.
Three rounds of competition, and he lost all three games.
Teased by his teammates for winning in-team battles but being a pushover in external games.
If the team’s ranking wasn’t already set, he might have been booted by everyone.
After this round of play, the tournament entered another period of recess.
Ree Shil suddenly felt like there was nothing left to do.
Before, he still had a few S-rank tasks and "The Path of Breakthrough" to ponder over.
But now, only the ill-named "Listening to the Wind Trial" remained.
The key 10 days hadn’t passed yet, so he couldn’t continue the challenge.
With nothing better to do, he simply decided to slack off for a few days.
But he couldn’t sit still for even half a day before he got restless again.
"How come such a thing is out now, and I didn’t know about it?"
Leaping off the bed, he looked at the holographic projection list in front of him.
Originally thinking he was bored, he decided to browse the Administrator’s points exchange shop.
To his surprise, he discovered something quite incredible.
[Second Order Card Player’s Talent Upgrade Potion]: Allows card players who have used the [Card Player’s Talent Upgrade Potion] to upgrade their talent again
The price made me curse.
It was more expensive than two S-rank material cards.
25,000 points.
And this time, it seemed there was no discount event.
Then as he looked at his own points, they were almost at 0.
He had no idea how many Administrators had exchanged for the last batch of potions.
In any case, he felt this item was something he absolutely had to get.
"It’s just points, if it comes to it, I’ll just grind them out."
The last upgrade to [S-rank Expert]benefited Ree Shil greatly, so he was quite excited about this item.
The [Second Order Card Player’s Talent Upgrade Potion]had no mentioned probability, so it should be a 100% upgrade.
It could only be used by card players or talents that had previously used the [Card Player’s Talent Upgrade Potion].
Which meant it was applicable to [S-rank Expert].
He wondered what kind of new feature it would add to him this time.
...
At that moment, in some technical management center at the Card Player Association Headquarters.
An old man with a deer head sat uncomfortably in front of a tea table.
In front of him, two men were sipping tea.
One of them he naturally knew, his nominal superior at the Card Players Association.
The reincarnation of a divine deity, Carson Shaw.
As for the other, he had never seen him before.
But as a descendant of the divine deity’s incarnation, his family had been worshiping a divine deity for many years, and still did.
Thus, he himself had a little trick to discern such things.
He could clearly sense that the seemingly ordinary man in front of him was also a divine deity.
He could also tell that this deity was different from Carson Shaw.
Despite sitting there drinking tea, he didn’t have a real physical presence.
It seemed to be some kind of short-lived shell formed by a spiritual power secret technique.
Meaning, the man was not a reincarnation of a god but a genuine divine deity!
Unlike reincarnations who come to the Cube Card Metaverse and temporarily lose their divine power, a true deity possesses divine power!
This was the real reason the deer-headed old man was nervous; after all, this was the first time he had ever seen a real deity.
Moreover, since the two men sat down, they had been sipping tea in silence.
Half an hour had passed, and they hadn’t exchanged more than five sentences.
(But come to think of it, what kind of deity might this one be?)
Just as he was curious, the deer-headed old man caught a glimpse of the tea stove’s flame igniting the man’s trouser leg.
"Great One!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
The deity, who just now had the demeanor of a deity, suddenly jumped up shouting, "Fire extinguisher! Get me a fire extinguisher quickly!"
Carson Shaw, as if he had done this before, casually grabbed a fire extinguisher that had been waiting nearby and directly sprayed it.
Pssst...!
A cloud of dry ice filled the entire teahouse.
"Okay, you can go back to your business now,"
Amid the white smoke, the deer-headed old man heard Carson Shaw’s call.
"Yes, Chief Officer."
Not caring if the other could see him, he respectfully nodded.
Then he found the door in the white-out, or rather in the white, and left the room.
Once the old deer-headed man closed the door, the dry ice settled and dissipated.
Only then did Carson Shaw finally speak again, "What on earth is a [Second Order Card Player’s Talent Upgrade Potion]? I have never heard of such a non-existent thing."
...
