Free Web NovelChapter 1234: Chapter 483: An Opponent Who Can Foresee the Future
The Listening to the Wind Representative Team’s number 1 seed, what are you looking at.
This player can be said to be the one that Ree Shil watches the most closely.
The level of attention is even higher than for Snow Charm.
Out of the 210 players from seven representative teams, excluding himself, that makes 219.
Only what are you looking at is the one Ree Shil can’t see through.
If he had to choose an opponent he didn’t want to encounter in this competition, it would definitely be this person.
Hunchback Woman: [Lan-Lan TV Station, Lan-Lan Radio Station, Lan-Lan Video Network.
Dear audience, hello.
We are now live broadcasting the last game of the last round of the 55th City Competition, Regional Competition segment.]
Museum Director Phoenix: [Hello everyone.]
Hunchback Woman: [I believe everyone is still immersed in the joy of our Balance District’s championship victory this year.
But don’t forget to watch this last card game and cheer for our Player Henry Thompson.] fгeewebnovёl.com
Museum Director Phoenix: [Actually, we can look forward to this match.
The representative team has already won the championship, and if we win this game, he will truly be the number one player of this competition.]
At this moment, everyone in the Balance District who is following the competition can be said to be extremely happy.
After all, the regional competition is not about taking turns as champions, there is no concept like you win today and it’s my turn tomorrow.
In fact, the Balance District has been weak in recent years, with a full twenty terms without winning a championship.
So this championship win is indeed an event worth celebrating with a long holiday for the entire district.
On this basis, Museum Director Phoenix is several times happier than ordinary people.
Because the title under which Ree Shil is competing is none other than the Lan-Lan Balance Card Hall of Lan-Lan City.
Presumably, with this momentum, the Lan-Lan Balance Card Hall will definitely soar.
And his career will reach an unprecedented peak in his life.
Therefore, including Museum Director Phoenix, all Balance people are thinking that if they can win this game, it would be the perfect conclusion.
Ree Shil had also studied the other party’s historical record carefully during this period.
Unexpectedly, the length of time this person has been a card player was almost the same as his.
No wonder, just from the card deck strength, the other party wasn’t all that powerful.
In the Wind-listening District internal competition and even at the start of the inter-district confrontation, it was a mix of A and B Level cards.
It was only in the mid-to-late game that it gradually transitioned to all A Level cards.
But with such card deck strength, this guy has never lost in crucial card games.
Those inconsequential card games, it was clear he was playing erratically on purpose.
The reason Ree Shil didn’t want to encounter this person isn’t because of his high win rate.
But it’s because he always felt that this person’s card skill was astounding.
Especially in prediction, he was practically flawless.
It even made him think for a while that this person could foresee the future.
But when you think about it, you know it’s just a ridiculous idea and impossible.
So Ree Shil’s final explanation is that this person is very lucky and has an exceptionally great sense of the card table.
You should know he himself also belongs to those card players with a sense of the card table, and rarely meets opponents with better intuition than him.
Facing an opponent like what are you looking at, Ree Shil had already thought of a strategy.
He wasn’t worried; as long as he surpassed the other party in card deck strength, it would be fine.
And so, both came to the card table and took their places.
"You’re pretty good."
The words from what are you looking at seemed out of the blue, and the tone was more like that of an elder.
Ree Shil did not respond, just sizing up the other party.
As if he wanted to perceive something from the opponent’s online virtual avatar.
"What are you looking at, let’s start."
The other party seemed not to like being stared at like this.
"Sorry. Please."
Ree Shil snapped back to reality.
And so, both started placing their cards.
Since it was the last match, Ree Shil decided not to hold anything back.
He would choose the stronger cards as long as the pairing didn’t conflict terribly.
And ideally cards that had either appeared infrequently or never before, to reduce the chance of being targeted.
So for his first row cards, he sacrificed:
[Soul Dragon] + [Kane Berry] + [Cassius Hayes]
Don’t forget that [Soul Dragon] is ultimately a Determination Card.
Just withstanding 10 hits could provide enough endurance for a considerable part of the early game.
And without [Defense] concerns, it could unleash DPS with abandon.
[Kane Berry] comes with Damage Reduction and a higher Maximum Life Value.
As for [Cassius Hayes]...
Hunchback Woman: [It’s a bit strange. I can understand the other two cards.
But why would he choose a card like [Cassius Hayes]?]
Museum Director Phoenix: [I don’t understand either.
[Cassius Hayes]’s Attack even during T0 phase, like [Sneak Attack Master].
Such a card, once it attacks, will become the target in the real Action Phase that follows.]
Hunchback Woman: [But Player Henry Thompson has never made any meaningless arrangements.
I believe he has a reason for doing this.]
Museum Director Phoenix: [Maybe he’s planning to keep it as an Outer Card, so he can Displace it immediately if there’s an Empty Slot.]
Hunchback Woman: [On what are you looking at player’s side, the first row cards he revealed are relatively average in strength.
This seems to be his consistent style, using ordinary cards to produce outstanding effects.]
Museum Director Phoenix: [Those three A level cards on his side look ordinary, true, but their counter is way too strong...
All three are combo cards, capable of launching 7 attacks in one round.]
Hunchback Woman: [Indeed, did he guess that Henry Thompson would reveal [Soul Dragon]?]
attacks, and in 2 rounds, [Soul Dragon] would be taken down.
And as a Determination Card, at most it could Release 7 Points of Energy for 7x10=70 Damage during the 2nd round.
Plus the normal Attack of the first round, that’s precisely 100 Points of DPS.]
