Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 1156: Chapter 444: Preparing for Battle with Card-Making_2

1,000 points. If the cards explode, that would be a terrible loss.

"Let’s borrow it for a preview first."

Ree Shil wasn’t worried about the cards exploding.

"Why can the Laser Sword give the cards the [Charm] effect?"

He was more curious about this.

So he took the card in hand, laid down, and went straight into a batch-style preview.

Normally, only humanoid cards which could be fused with material cards like this solid sword-type have fusion compatibility.

Or to put it simply, having hands would suffice.

Octopus tentacles should work too, though he didn’t have such cards.

"Phew..."

minutes later, Ree Shil opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Good thing I didn’t sell it. Otherwise, 99.99% of people would have lost everything."

Out of his many humanoid cards, ranging from E-Rank to A-Rank, only one card was compatible with the [Laser Sword].

And it was a D-Level Card.

Who would use a D-Level card to fuse with A-Level material?

He couldn’t even remember where that card came from. Its projection was a warrior in a black cloak and fully enclosed black armor.

He chose it because he thought the single combat term wasn’t too bad and it looked pretty decent.

But if it were fused with the [Laser Sword], that term would be devoured.

The preview result was as follows:

[Skywalker Warrior]

Breaking force, 30 points, D

Attack 30, 100/100, 0/5

["I am your father-5 Energy Points"]: Skywalker Warrior selects a target to inflict [Charm]

Frankly, this skill seemed pretty useless.

An energy cost of 5 points, and then wasting a round of action.

If not for some extreme situation, it would hardly have a chance to be used.

Besides, Ree Shil believed that even in extreme situations, there must be better solutions.

"Let’s pass on this card; put it back and wait for someone destined."

Returning the [Laser Sword], he continued to look further.

"What the heck is [’I Have a Sword’], such a casual name."

"[’Sword Discussion at Huashan’] has appeared, is this supposed to be a sword’s name?"

["Time-Slaying Sword"]; that sounds quite ominous at first glance."

He looked through several cards in a row but didn’t find any good materials.

That ["Time-Slaying Sword"] was slightly interesting as it could potentially create cards that counter the Time tag.

But there hadn’t been many Time-tagged cards this time, the biggest one was probably Marsh’s [Time Comprehender]. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

It didn’t seem to have much of a role.

Continuing to select and preview this way, three hours later Ree Shil’s gaze fell on a card worth only 100 points.

[Throat-Sealing Sword]: Extremely small chance of the card’s attack carrying the [Silence] effect

Again, an extremely small chance.

But this is powerful."

This material card stated that it was attached to attacks.

That means it doesn’t need to consume any energy, and it can increase the priority level of the card’s normal attack to T2.

The words "extremely small chance" are enough to deter most, but it was perfect for him.

Once again, he borrowed the card for a preview.

"Nice."

After just a few minutes of previewing, Ree Shil instantly jumped up from the sofa.

Because a card that could fuse with the [Throat-Sealing Sword] had appeared.

And this result was quite perfect!

Exactly what he wanted.

The card that could be fused was... [Stealth Master].

A B-Level Card that would upgrade to A after fusion.

[Stealth Master]

Balance, 30 points, A

Attack 40, 100/100

[[Noble-Passive]]: Decrease the score of Stealth Master by 5

[[Kind-Passive]]: Decrease the score of Stealth Master by 5

[[Modesty-Passive]]: Stealth Master’s normal attack carries the [Silence] effect

[[Martial Virtue-Passive]]: Increase the priority of Stealth Master’s normal attack to the Reveal Card stage

The projection of the skinny penguin now held a longsword.

The blade had hooked barbs on both sides, and there was a long blood groove on its face.

This thing obviously wasn’t a weapon used by any honorable fighters.

"This card is perfect."

Without criticizing the name of the new term, this new entry was exactly what Ree Shil wanted.

"With that, the configuration of the first row cards is basically perfected.

What’s left is the King Card."

In a Horizontal 3+1, basically, the only thing that can still change is the King Card.

The first row cards are revealed together by everyone, and unless there are special cards in special situations, according to the battle situation and the other party’s card face, the only changes a card player can make are swapping out Scene Card terms and choosing the King Card.

"It’s not easy to change the Scene Card for now.

I should focus on the King Card."

He believed that in a Horizontal 3+1 Card Game, there were only a few types of powerful King Cards.

The first type was a strong ability to fight one-on-one.

Including but not limited to abilities for Damage Reduction, Control, Summon, Healing, etc.

The second type was to Self-Reveal early to join the battle.

The rhythm of 3+1 is very fast, and basically, it’s best to Self-Reveal in the first round.

The Self-Revealing King Card is divided into two types, one is auxiliary, like the [Dragon Flag Master] which boosts the whole team.

Or like powerful DPS, like [King of Ghost Fire][Spirit Master] these high-score big hands.

The third type depends on the situation and belongs to various categories.

Putting aside the miscellaneous category for now, Ree Shil believed what he currently lacked was the second type.

The first type of card, he had several, represented by [Kung Fu Sheep God].

The second type of King Card, also had to be made.

Thus after another round of searching, he successfully upgraded several B-Class Cards into King Card options that were quite suitable.

The first card was more of an auxiliary type, [Sect Leader Frog].

[Sect Leader Frog]

Wisdom, 30 points, A

Attack 30, 100/100, 4/4

[Sinful Pleasure-Passive]: When there are cards from his side leaving the field, Sect Leader Frog recovers 1 point of energy

[Sect Leader Entrance-Passive]: When the last Regular card on his side is revealed, Sect Leader Frog is revealed alongside it

[Frog Sword Blessing-2 points of energy]: Sect Leader Frog selects a target, granting it a 30-point [Shield] for 1 round

[Frog Dew-3 points of energy]: Sect Leader Frog selects a target and applies [Quick Purify] to it

([Shield]: Absorbs the corresponding amount of damage)

([Quick Purify]: Removes all negative states applied to allies)

In a 3+1 Card Game, this is almost equivalent to revealing in the first round.

And Wisdom Cards are also very suitable for this fast-paced, small-scale combat.

Two instances of [Shield] or one instance of [Quick Purify], perhaps, might be enough to change the course of the battle.

When not using its skills, it can also contribute the damage output of an average card.

It’s quite a good functional King Card.

The second card, leaning towards DPS, [Doram’s Captain].

[Doram’s Captain]

Chasing the Wind, 40 points, A

Attack 40, 100/100, 0/4

[Tenacious Soul-Passive]: When Doram’s Captain is the King Card, it gains [Domineering Body]

[Lonely Soul-Passive]: When Doram’s Captain is the King Card, it gains [True Damage]

[Crisis Moment-Passive]: When there are fewer End Row Cards on his side than the enemy’s, Doram’s Captain is automatically revealed

[Lonesome Sword-4 points of energy]: Doram’s Captain makes an attack causing (30) +20 points of Damage, and if there are no other cards from his side on the field, it gains a 30-point [Healing]

This card used to be Ree Shil’s King Card in his Sword Card Deck, following the solo fighting path.

In terms of one-on-one, this card is actually very powerful, completely on par with those A-Level Cards.

It has helped him earn great merits in the Lan-Lan Metropolis regional competition.

However, due to now having too many good cards, it seldom gets a chance to play.

Now it has added a self-revealing term, while also raising the upper limit by 10 points.

Both these cards are basically on the verge of being phased out.

So he didn’t need to worry too much about the future when making them, as long as they were useful for now.

After organizing several King Cards for various situations like this, this round of competition preparation came to an end.

Before he knew it, it was late at night, so he freshened up and then got a good night’s rest, waiting for tomorrow to come.

Early the next day, Ree Shil logged in together with Grace Spring.

After following the system prompts to review the rules again, everyone was teleported out.

Hum!

When consciousness was restored, Ree Shil found himself once again in that small elf light group form.

There were 35 other light groups just like him.

At that time, all the players were on a massive stone platform arena.

Without any distinct facial features, no identifiers, unable to make a sound.

There was no way to distinguish who was who.

A gigantic countdown number floated above the platform.

minutes (24 Hours) remained before the start of the competition.
