Free Web NovelChapter 1177: Chapter 455: Playing Landlord
On the other end of the territories, Ree Shil had just finished a card game.
"The cunning intelligence was wrong, this guy isn’t the president. frёeωebɳovel.com
Just a vice president?"
Having expelled a Divine Deity, he did not receive any notification about capturing territory.
He couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment.
"But then again, who would have thought that someone would actually join my breaking force?
Quite surprising."
Just now, he received a system prompt that 2 card players had joined his power.
From the photos, they appeared to be administrators.
Now that his power was weak, having two more people or two fewer people didn’t matter much to Ree Shil.
What he was more concerned about was how to seize the time to rack up points.
Without encountering a Power Master, there were no extra points to be gained.
The vice president Divine Deity just now had only given him a few hundred points.
So, for the next few days, Ree Shil devoted all his attention and energy to defending his territories.
There were many card players invading from around, and he had his hands full just dealing with them.
A few days passed, and a new round of competition was approaching.
Ree Shil timed it right and left the Buffer Zone.
In these past days, his gains were moderate; apart from the God of Green Head, he hadn’t encountered any other power masters.
Before logging off, he took a glance and saw that his points stood around 7,000 and were slowly increasing.
Back to the competition, the number of participants in this round was small.
Because the second team facing the risk of elimination had emerged.
The Determination Representative Team now had only 5 team members left.
If they got 5th or 6th place in this round, they would have to eliminate 5/6 of their members.
Thus, there was a theoretical possibility of elimination, and judging from their past performance, it wasn’t small.
This round adopted a three-way battle mode. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
And it was not just any three-way battle.
After all, if it were a pure three-party melee, then inevitably, two sides would gang up on one, which would be very disadvantageous for the top teams.
One could imagine that if Balance Representative Team or Ree Shil were on the card table, they would certainly be targeted jointly by the other two sides.
Therefore, the three-way battle mode here was a Fight the Landlord mode.
The two sides are united by the rules and do not need to form alliances under the table.
Then, the landlord’s advantage is that the score cap is doubled.
All three card decks are 9+1, but the landlord’s cap is 700 points.
On the basis of doubling the 9+1, add another 100 points.
The combined score of the other two sides is 600, and their advantage lies in having more cards.
Each Representative Team must assume the role of landlord twice, and the opponents are decided by drawing lots.
In total, there will be 12 card games this round.
Each team must send 5 players to compete, and each player must participate at least once and no more than three times.
The maximum of three appearances felt like it was a rule set specifically for players like himself and Snow Charm.
Otherwise, other teammates using up four chances to play and himself using eight would have been the most beneficial for the team.
Now that each person can only play a maximum of three times, the influence of top players like Ree Shil will be greatly reduced.
After discussions within the team, Ree Shil’s final assignment was to play once as the landlord and twice as a peasant.
The peasant’s game was actually okay, just treat it like a regular card game.
The key lay in that landlord game.
points, 10 cards, an average of 70 points per card.
Ree Shil had never played such a lavish game before.
But he knew his experience wasn’t deep enough, so in terms of the depth of the card deck, he would be at a slight disadvantage.
A card deck that averages 70 points per card might be hard enough to assemble a set of 9+1 in the first place.
To have two completely different sets, or mostly different sets, to prevent targeting was indeed hard to achieve in a short time.
Therefore, he only took on the role of landlord once for this game.
Before the match started, Ree Shil locked himself in his room and began to arrange the cards needed for the 700 point game.
First, he had to determine the central idea of this type of game.
Only when cards reached 70 points could they be considered evenly distributed; even general Giant Cards wouldn’t suffice.
Moreover, since Giant Cards occupied multiple card positions, they actually wasted more points.
Without a doubt, under such circumstances, the most suitable cards are those like [Spirit Master], which only take up one position and yet are as high as 100 points.
Even his own [King of Ghost Fire], a 50-point single position card, could not fill a single position’s average score.
So, after all, he had to craft.
"If there was a way to simply raise the score and Attack Power, and then return them to their original state after, that would be ideal."
Ree Shil felt that was the best possible scenario.
But it’s hardly easy to freely adjust the score of a card, let alone raise it and then readjust it back.
"It needs to be high enough to fill as much of the 700-point cap as possible to avoid overflowing and wasting points.
Then apart from Attack Power, the card itself must also possess strength in other aspects.
I believe even other players would find it difficult to achieve perfection.
Perhaps I could take a different approach and follow a point-based strategy."
The so-called point-based strategy refers to cards like [Flawless Galaxy], where the higher the opponent’s points, the higher your own Damage becomes.
Or like the previous [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], which could deal special attacks against targets with higher points than itself.
These are point-based strategy cards, where the mechanism is linked to points.
Anyway, with plenty of Administrator Points at his disposal, obtaining a few such cards might not be too difficult.
"First comes the Injury Card."
He rummaged through his card deck and found a suitable prototype.
