Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 119: Chapter 55: The Hierarchy of Status Within the Circle

Because of the other party’s accurate prediction, she found herself at a disadvantage, having clearly lost more health.

After a few seconds of thought, she decided to adopt a more steady approach.

As long as she could quickly defeat the Kung-Fu Sheep Lady, the victory would still be hers.

The 10-point health Shield card would undoubtedly die in the next turn, so she used a direct 40-point attack power to attack normally.

As for the other two cards, to prevent being accurately predicted and attacked again, releasing the [Shield Strike] skill would be more reliable.

(Yeah, that’s right.)

(That’s how I’ll stay stable.)

After confirming the strategy, she thought to herself.

That’s what the Gatekeeper thought and what she did.

But as soon as she confirmed her actions, the card table suddenly shook.

Hum!

This was a sign that the card game was entering the next stage, signaling the action round had begun.

Such a situation caused her heart to shudder slightly.

Because what? Because as soon as she confirmed, the action round began, indicating the other party had made a choice faster than her.

Making a faster decision means the other party is very confident!

As expected, she did not immediately see her own card attacks.

Instead, she first saw the odd little machine car, emitting a light wave at Sheep Rabbit.

[Target confirmed, charging]

+2

An orange number popped out of Sheep Rabbit’s head.

Orange is the color of breakthrough energy.

Sheep Rabbit had 2/3 energy after releasing [Double Strike] once, so getting 2 points to replenish made it full again with 3/3.

Although the priority of [Energy Replenishment] is the same as that of Buff/Debuff, because it’s on her own cards, the card table would default to Sheep Rabbit reaching 3/3 energy and being able to use the skill again in the same turn.

The only waste is that the excess 1 point of energy doesn’t count.

Otherwise, a 4/3 Sheep Rabbit that hits [Double Strike] and ends the turn at 3/3 full charge would mean she could continuously release [Double Strike] for three turns in this situation, which would be a bit too cheeky.

[Ah, Dome~]

The Gatekeeper saw Sheep Rabbit charge towards her cards first. freewёbnoνel.com

And her chosen target was her own almost dead card!

-30, -30, Dizzy

Two numbers and a control effect popped out, leaving the [Shield Strike Shield] card dazed and unable to attack!

10-point health card, but using 60 points of damage to kill.

This is not overkill, it’s called... strategy.

"Tsk... you, young lad."

"You really know how to play cards."

Obviously, the Gatekeeper also understood the other party’s strategy.

Before confirming her actions, she had already anticipated that she might be predicted correctly.

But conservatism is for the sake of being conservative.

-10, -10

In the end, the other two cards only dealt 20 points of damage. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

The card originally meant to finish off Sheep Rabbit could not make a move!

[Woohoo~]

-15

Ghostfire Boy launched another attack.

After a round of confrontation, the two sides had the following cards:

[Shield][Shield 70][Empty Slot]

VS

[Three Seven][Ghostfire][Sheep Rabbit 10]

"This is awkward."

The Gatekeeper’s expression fell.

"Big Brother, this young lad is quite skilled at playing cards."

The Show Director was a bit proud at this moment.

Since she brought the person in, it naturally made her look good if they played well.

Playing cards is sometimes about innate talent.

Especially, in accurately predicting opponents.

Card player level represents card deck depth and physical strength in the Instance, as well as experience at the card table.

But predicting is about experience and talent, both of which are indispensable.

In fact, she found perhaps due to being a coach and often playing cards with others, Ree Shil’s experience was not bad.

Plus, his born acting skills (?) + intuition (?), anyway, she felt that his prediction success rate was high.

"Hmph, the game isn’t over yet."

At that moment, the Gatekeeper put on a serious face and continued playing the card game.

This round, she was still playing it safe. Anyway, the energy values of the two cards are 1/3 and 3/3, enough to use.

Sheep Rabbit only has 10 points of health, and even if both cards use [Shield Strike] and she uses [Defense], they can still take care of her.

So, the action round began.

[Clang Clang Boom Clang!]x2

-15, -15

As expected, the excessive damage was enough to take Sheep Rabbit down.

[Miecha~!]

-17.5

Sheep Rabbit charged at the full health Shield card.

[Woohoo~]

-15

Ghostfire Boy’s target was the other card.

After the round settled, both sides had the following cards:

[Shield 82.5][Shield 55][Empty Slot]

VS

[Three Seven][Ghostfire][Empty Slot]

"Wow, Big Brother."

"Under the effect of the card entries, your operational space in this 3+1 game is a bit small."

Seeing this situation, the Show Director sighed.

Because 55 points of health has reached the beheading line for the other party’s Self-Destruct.

"..."

The Gatekeeper remained silent.

(Wait, could this be a trick?)

(What if he just wants to trick me into causing the Self-Destruct?)

Thinking about this, she suddenly came up with a new idea.

(But what if the King Card really is behind Ghostfire Boy?)

(No matter, I’ll play it safe and double down!)

With that thought, she made her Decision.

Currently, the energy of the two cards is still enough, so just continue using the skills.

Let one aim for the King Card Slot left vacant by Sheep Rabbit and the other for [Ghostfire Boy].

[Clang Clang Boom Clang!]

-15

[Woohoo~]

-15

So, the two cards switched places.
