"It sounds like all your fathers are strong players."
"How could I possibly win against beings of those levels?"
At this moment, Ree Shil remembered the task entrusted to him by the Curator on the way here.
"Although I’d love to see you defeat my father, let’s pass on the one we just saw."
"He only accepts challenges in games he’s good at, and that game probably wouldn’t suit you."
"Tonight my target is another father. You just need to help me knock her out."
"Ah! Found her, she’s over there!"
As she spoke, the Show Director spotted her target.
The location she pointed to showcased a long-braided, pointy-eared, purple-skinned young lady.
This was a Mother Father.
At this moment, the purple-skinned lady was standing in front of an empty card table, with no opponent in sight.
She sat on a stool with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
From time to time, passersby would glance at her with a touch of respect.
"Good evening, Father!"
The Curator went over and deeply bowed.
"..."
Although mentally prepared, Ree Shil still found it somewhat speechless standing at the side.
"Hmm, are you going to play?"
Mother Father nodded her head.
Ree Shil took this opportunity to look at the special table, which was filled with covered cards.
"Curator, what is this game?"
Curious, he asked.
Before the Show Director could answer, Mother Father took over the conversation.
"Blind Cards. Have you played before?"
She opened her eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful gem-looking eyes, which caused Ree Shil to frown slightly.
"In Blind Cards, the game is played with all cards covered."
"In the interest of fairness, the card deck is provided by the opponent."
"So, generally speaking, you would try to give your opponent as many lousy cards as possible."
The Show Director introduced the basic rules.
"For example, like this."
Mother Father demonstrated by touching one of the covered cards.
Hum!
[Awooo!]
A werewolf head leaped out from the card face.
[???]
?,? Points, D
Atk ?,? / ?
[?] : ?
This card, aside from the projection and tier, had no information.
"So, there’s this kind of game too?"
Ree Shil was taken aback, feeling it was a bit complicated.
The.card deck belonged to someone else and was covered, which meant that even operating was a challenge.
One might not even know if their skill was harming themselves.
This game required not only strategy and memory but also luck.
"In this game, luck is the most important."
Even Mother Father admitted it at this point.
As she spoke, she took out one of her gem eyes and began to polish it with a handkerchief.
"Judging by how you performed in the Instance, you must be pretty good at these types of games."
The Show Director nudged Ree Shil with her elbow.
She was referring to the few instances where he instantly opened [Lock Demon].
"Uh..."
But Ree Shil was well aware of his own situation.
Handling [Lock Demon] was different from playing Blind Cards. He had already tried, but his Absolute card sense could not take effect.
Mother Father could win against the Curator in 13 consecutive rounds which showed that she must be quite skilled in this type of game.
Therefore, without hesitation, he pulled the Show Director away.
"Director, let’s go visit your third father instead."
He suggested.
"My third father isn’t here today."
"Then what is your first father good at?"
"Alright, I’ll take you to see." freewёbnoνel.com
The Curator sighed.
Compared to Mother Father, she felt truly powerless in facing Elf Dad.
At least in Blind Cards, she still had some hope of winning, but in the event that Elf Dad competed in...
While thinking, the two arrived at Elf Dad’s current location.
At this moment, he was in the midst of a match, surrounded by quite a few spectators.
At the circular table, including Elf Dad, there were a total of five people.
And in front of them were nearly 100 cards.
Some of the cards were scattered everywhere, while others were neatly stacked.
An hourglass placed in the center of the table counted the time that was passing.
Elf Dad was the only person not touching those cards. He just watched the other four players, who appeared busy or troubled, with a calm smile on his face.
"Got it! Watch this!"
One person suddenly shouted with excitement.
His cry quickly attracted everyone’s attention.
This man had a burly figure, wore a tight vest, and had a pair of strange, round-cornered protrusions on his head that looked like apples.
He held a card in each hand, and this gesture looked quite familiar to Ree Shil.
As expected, Apple Horns clasped his hands together with a slap.
Clap!
Light erupted between the two palms.
He was clearly engaged in Card-Making.
"Elf Dad’s specialty is Card-Making."
"Huh?"
Ignoring Ree Shil’s reaction, the Show Director solemnly introduced the game.
"In a Card-Making duel, each player is randomly given 100 different E-Rank material cards."
"Within the given time limit, the player who successfully makes the most cards or makes them faster wins."
"Don’t let his burly appearance fool you; he is a genuine Formula Master."
She said.
Formula Masters are prestigious professionals certified by the Association who explore formulas by studying successful cases and dissecting their underlying principles.
A successful Formula Master must have extensive theoretical knowledge and accumulated experience.
"100 E-Rank material cards? That’s opulent."
Ree Shil was shocked.
"It’s fine, they’re just some cheap material cards after all."
