Free Web NovelChapter 1160: Chapter 446: A Bit Handsome_2
Hunchback Woman: "I believe many audience members have been following our representative team’s card game without changing the channel."
Let me synchronize the information for everyone here.
Now, Contestant 1 Henry Thompson is up against the 15th seed from the Berserk Representative Team.
Codename: The Slightly Handsome Player.
Museum Director Phoenix: "The 15th pick, that should be the lowest ranked player on this stage.
Since the Berserk Representative Team has sent him out, it seems they must have some plot in mind."
Hunchback Woman: "Exactly, and his confidence is somewhat puzzling.
But according to the news from the director, he has already defeated two players.
They are the 7th ranked from the Wisdom Representative Team and the 3rd ranked from the Determination Representative Team."
Museum Director Phoenix: "Even the 3rd ranked has been defeated, indeed he should not be underestimated."
Hunchback Woman: "Not only that, it’s said that he won quite easily.
He used completely different card games in two rounds, both having a good restraining effect on the enemy."
Museum Director Phoenix: "It seems this player has got something, his confidence is not unfounded."
As the two commentators spoke, the card table between Ree Shil and his opponent was set up.
Just as they said, The Slightly Handsome Player really is very confident.
It is all because of his card player’s talent—[Recall].
When the game unfolds at the card table, he can recall the cards his opponent revealed in the previous game.
Each representative team has conducted internal training for this type of competition.
The information about the card games in this competition would not be disclosed to other players outside the ring, so basically everyone would only prepare their strongest set of first row 3 cards to reveal.
Therefore, The Slightly Handsome Player’s talent has a unique advantage in this competition.
That’s why he, currently ranked last as the 15th pick of his team, was chosen to play in this round.
He had no foundation for his first game since he had just started.
But as luck would have it, his opponent’s most recent game was the training game within the team.
So, he hit the jackpot, catching them squarely.
With 3 counter cards laid out, he almost secured the win.
The second game was even easier to determine because the opponent had already played a game on the stage.
So the opponent’s last game was right here on this very stage.
The consecutive two rounds of easy suppression made The Slightly Handsome Player’s confidence swell.
That’s why, as soon as he left the card table, he headed straight for Ree Shil, the only free contestant on the field.
At this time, both parties intended to drag out the time and didn’t immediately lay out their cards, waiting for the time limit to slowly pass.
This suited The Slightly Handsome Player just fine, giving him time to slowly browse the opponent’s card deck.
"What the hell is this?!"
He hadn’t expected much, but upon seeing it, his face fell immediately.
A monkey, a golden dragon, isn’t that the big devil from the Balance Representative Team?
He doesn’t have any S-rank cards, so even if he knows in advance what the opponent is likely to play, how can he possibly beat them?
Especially that [Five Claws Golden Dragon], which ignores immunity!
How is he supposed to fight against that?
"And, let me say, what rubbish were his last opponents, geez.
Why didn’t they reveal their king card!"
Being only able to see Ree Shil’s 3 first row cards makes The Slightly Handsome Player very speechless.
But with things as they are, there’s not much to say.
As the king of the tournament, each team of course has studied Ree Shil’s cards and playing style in detail.
The playing style is one thing, you can’t really say it exists.
It is intentional on Ree Shil’s part to vary his tactics and style even with nearly identical decks, in different games.
The purpose is to avoid being caught out by others.
As for the card decks, the strategic teams of each representative team will certainly not let them slip by.
Especially those S-rank cards.
In order to find ways to counter these S-rank cards, every team has spared no effort.
Particularly for players like The Slightly Handsome Player, who do not have much presence within the team and do not get many opportunities to play, they conduct all kinds of research and card-making with the help of the support team.
Just so they can pull out cards tailored against the strong players from different teams at the right occasion.
Now, the only thing The Slightly Handsome Player finds consoling is that he actually has one.
He actually has a card designed to target the [Five Claws Golden Dragon].
While contemplating this, he had already set up his own card deck, just a click away from pressing the confirm button. fгeewebnovёl.com
With both sides tacitly dragging out the delay, they eventually clicked confirm as the time limit was about to end.
So, the Unveiling Stage arrived, and the two commenced the waiting game again.
Fortunately, this was not the first game of the day, so the audience had already gotten used to this rhythm and patiently waited.
Just before the time limit expired, Ree Shil was the first to reveal his cards.
"False Saint" + "Five Claws Golden Dragon" + "Sneak Attack Master", it was still the same combination, no change.
Almost simultaneously, Youdian Xiaoshuai also revealed his first row cards.
"Stand behind my Shield!"
He was the first to reveal the card in the middle column.
The card featured a Spartan-style man holding a long spear in one hand and a round shield in the other.
The design of his shield was a bit peculiar, with a ring of irregular holes that seemed to be about the same diameter as the spear.
"Sun Warrior"
Chasing the wind, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/4
"Resilience - Passive": When the Sun Warrior is affected by control or negative effects, it gains 1 Energy Point
"Unyielding - Passive": When the Sun Warrior is affected by control or negative effects, it immediately attacks the target 1 time
"Bulwark - Passive": When the Sun Warrior is affected by control or negative effects, it triggers a 30 Point [Shield]
"Chivalry - 4 Point Energy": The Sun Warrior gives itself a 50 Point [First Aid], this round’s same row unveiled cards can also trigger "Resilience"
"Oh?"
The appearance of this card made Ree Shil involuntarily raise his eyebrows.
Hunchback Woman: "Wow! Just like the last game, Youdian Xiaoshuai once again pulls out a card that counters the opponent!"
Museum Director Phoenix: "Since immunity is not an option, might as well counterattack directly, huh."
Hunchback Woman: "This card is indeed a strong counter, because both ’Five Claws Golden Dragon’ and ’Sneak Attack Master’ are control-focused cards.
Especially the ’Sneak Attack Master’, its control is passive, there’s no way to control whether to use it."
Museum Director Phoenix: "Moreover, there’s an additional charge mechanism, plus a 30 point [Shield]...
This level of toughness in a 3+1 card game format is almost akin to [Defense].
However, this mechanism can only be triggered once per round and once per layer, but that’s quite formidable."
Hunchback Woman: "In that case, it seems that Contestant 1 Henry Thompson will have to prioritize attacking the other cards."
Museum Director Phoenix: "Not necessarily."
Since "Sun Warrior" was revealed, surely the opponent’s other two cards must also be prepared.
Sure enough, Youdian Xiaoshuai then unveiled the Covered Card on his left side.
"Thunder, watching over you!"
When the card was revealed, the figure of a dwarf standing amidst lightning became faintly visible.
He was clad in white armor and wore a crown.
In his hand, he held a short hammer, wrapped in lightning as well.
"Hill Thunder King"
Wisdom, 40 points, A
Attack 40, 130/130, 4/4
"Disdain - Passive": The Hill Thunder King cannot perform [Attack]
"Kingship - Passive": Before the unveiling of the King Card on the field, the Health Upper Limit of Hill Thunder King +30
"Thunder Armor - Passive": When the Hill Thunder King takes control or is affected by negative attack, damage received -10
"Punishment - Passive": When the enemy’s card uses an Active Skill, Hill Thunder King immediately auto-consumes 2 Point Energy to deal 40 Points of [Fixed Damage]
Hunchback Woman: "Really, it’s another card targeting ’Five Claws Golden Dragon’!"
But this is not too bad, if Active Skills are not used, then it might as well be a wooden post."
Museum Director Phoenix: "That’s not quite the right way to view it. If you avoid using skills for fear of ’Hill Thunder King’,
then ’Five Claws Golden Dragon’ isn’t much more than a post itself.
But the [Seal] takes effect only after T2 ends, meaning if the ’Five Claws Golden Dragon’ seals the opponent, it must endure at least 40 Points of [Fixed Damage].
And by taking the opportunity when it activates skills, the other two balance cards can simply focus fire and take it down.
40+30+30=100.
A fatal counterattack, it only takes one blow."
Hunchback Woman: "So... what do you do?"
Museum Director Phoenix: "It’s indeed hard to say, the opponent still has 1 card that has not been revealed."
With just the opening Two Cards revealed, Youdian Xiaoshuai had already taken a proactive advantage.
