Free Web NovelChapter 179: Chapter 74 Big Brother Cup_3
""Actually, there are quite a few Big Brother-Level players who aren’t good at playing cards."
"Just look at the various matchups in our clubhouse; it’s not their main goal."
"Many people are just here to join in the fun."
"I think with the strength of your card deck, if you find the right opportunities, you have a good chance of winning three or four games."
She tried to comfort him like this.
"What about you, Curator?"
Ree Shil was a little curious.
"Come on, I’m the curator of a card club, after all."
"I’ve been forced to play cards since I was a kid, otherwise, why do you think I call my grandpa ’grandpa’ so much?"
Show Director even had a plan to make a defender for each of the eight statues.
Back at the foot of the mountain, on their way back to the hotel, they ran into Mossy Mushroom and Slame.
These two guys were taking a group photo with a staff member dressed in a green frog doll costume at the time.
Mossy Mushroom and Slame were very excited, taking photos happily, while the staff member seemed a bit reserved.
The key thing was that after the photo was taken, they tried to give money to the staff member, but they refused.
"Are you guys really just here for vacation, and what’s the point of taking photos like this?"
When he walked up to them, Ree Shil seemed a little helpless.
"This is called checking in, you don’t understand, Cute Mushroom."
"Exactly, Master doesn’t understand."
Taking advantage of their conversation, the frog doll quickly ran away.
"You guys are out to play, where’s Straw Man?"
Show Director noticed that Straw Man was not with them.
"That guy came back to life after taking a hot bath and disappeared, probably hooking up with a female."
Mossy Mushroom shrugged.
It seemed that his words were true, as Straw Man never returned until everyone went to the hotel for a night’s rest and set off for the mountain the next evening.
When he took the cable car to the mountain peak, Ree Shil saw a different scene from yesterday.
The big tent had been set up, with eight large screens inside.
Everyone could watch the card game on-site or in the warm and comfortable tent through the live broadcast.
Small tents were also set up next to the eight statues to block the snow.
Under the small tent, there was a regular-size table made of blue light.
Show Director said that it was the card table automatically generated by Sacred Spirit Relic during its active period, and only by playing on these eight card tables could the Sacred Spirit sense it.
Next, the staff began to organize the drawing of lots.
There were more than a hundred players in this year’s Big Brother Cup, and now eight of them were to be drawn to serve as the initial defenders.
After the draw, the eight players went to the statue they needed to defend.
They were:
1, A red-painted robot, defending a dancing sword statue.
2, A hippo man with a human body and a hippo head, defending a wild boar statue.
3, A yak covered in fur, defending a flower statue.
4, A woman in white, defending a pearl oyster statue.
5, An insectoid that looks like an alien, defending a roaring wild beast statue.
6, A water elemental lifeform, defending a flame-shaped statue.
7, A centaur man, defending a hammer-shaped statue.
8, Show Director, defending a responding statue.
It can be seen that Show Director’s luck was not bad.
At this time, Ree Shil looked at the crowd in the big tent and spotted the three-eyed girl from yesterday.
And to his surprise, yesterday’s frog doll costume wearer was also there.
"Doing business here...huh?"
But soon enough, he made an even more surprising discovery.
It was Vegetable Boss—Daniel Smith.
"Eh? Why are you here?"
The two of them saw each other.
"This is not the place for you."
Ree Shil said half-joking, half-serious.
"What are you talking about? It’s you who shouldn’t be here! I’m a player tonight!"
Unexpectedly, Daniel Smith puffed out his chest.
"?"
For a moment, Ree Shil began to doubt the value of the Big Brother Cup.
"Humph, you didn’t expect it, did you!"
Seeing the other party silent, Daniel Smith thought they were shocked.
Actually, speaking of which, he himself was quite surprised.
He’s been at the clubhouse for quite a while now, always being a Little Brother-Level presence.
But a few nights ago, at the clubhouse, he met a young guy in the dark.
He actually lost to him in three consecutive games at a table, pushing him to the Big Brother-Level.
Seeing the people around him sign up for the Big Brother Cup, he followed suit in a daze and signed up.
"Anyway, you just take care of yourself."
Ree Shil didn’t care or worry about why the other party could participate, waved his hand, and left.
"Hey! Stop! Wait!"
To his surprise, Daniel Smith grabbed him at this point.
"What do you want?"
"Well, I was wondering if you’d like to work together."
"Cooperate?"
Next, Daniel Smith explained his idea.
The biggest disadvantage of being a defender is being the focus of other card players.
Such as playing habits, card deck composition, and other factors.
If researched thoroughly, they might find some personal flaws.
He knew that Ree Shil was the champion of the Nova Championships, so he must have card skills.
So he wanted to ask Ree Shil to join him in analyzing the defenders together.
"What’s in it for me if I help you analyze?"
Ree Shil looked at him.
"I can help you scout."
"After researching the defenders, I’ll deal with them first." freēwēbnovel.com
"If I lose, it’s like helping you further explore the other party’s information."
"If I win, then you can beat me easily."
"Isn’t this very fair?"
Daniel Smith seemed to have self-awareness, and he knew what to say.
"You’re not that stupid, how come your card playing is so bad?"
Ree Shil looked him up and down a few times, and he couldn’t help but change his view on him.
He knew that this guy’s card deck variety must be higher than his own, so this plan actually had some practicability.
Straw Man and Mossy Mushroom didn’t participate, so he did lack some errand runners.
It didn’t hurt to have one more person helping him scout.
