Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 216: Chapter 87: Cracking the Hostage Situation

With Sisi’s appearance, a panel popped up in front of Ree Shil and Andrew Hill.

[Temporary Mission: Defeat your opponent without letting Sisi die]

[If the mission fails, the card game will be lost]

"Damn it."

Andrew Hill held up his card, while Ree Shil read the words on it.

If they lost the card game, they would lose directly.

As the challengers in the PVP card game, they had no room for choice.

If they didn’t want to be kicked out of the Instance, they had to win.

And now you’re telling me there’s a new way to lose besides getting the King Card destroyed?

[Attack and defend... both!]

At this time, the Gnome Mothman’s King Card projection also popped up its card face.

It was a tall lizard-man with stone-like scales covering its body, holding a crude long spear in its hand.

It looked strong but its attack power was actually quite low.

[Lizard-Man Warrior]

Balance, 30 points, B

Attack 10, 200/200

[Hunting Instinct - Passive]: When the Lizard-Man Warrior attacks a target with less than 40% health, Attack Power +20 frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

[Crazy Impulse - Passive]: When the Lizard-Man Warrior attacks a target with less than 20% health, Attack Power +40

[Bloodthirsty Talent - Passive]: The Lizard-Man Warrior’s attack power is -20, but gains equal healing to the damage inflicted during an attack]

This card was temporarily swapped by the Gnome Mothman.

Originally, he had prepared a King Card with even greater attack power.

But considering the presence of the[Sword Dancing Lady], he chose this card with lower attack power but strong endurance.

Facing this card, Ree Shil fell into deep thought.

From the very beginning, he had been thinking about one issue.

Why didn’t the other party reveal their last regular card?

There were two possibilities. freewebnoveℓ.com

First, the other party was holding back a big move.

Similar to the Three-eyed Girl’s[Lotus Buried Bone], one that could instantly kill when revealed.

Second, the regular card couldn’t be exposed too early.

Exposing it too early might give the opponent time to prepare.

What kind of card couldn’t be exposed too early?

Probably like[Ghostfire-Youth], cards having explosive or landmine properties that one couldn’t easily touch.

From the current situation, the other party left their last regular card unrevealed for their last round, obviously for the second reason.

Then, he noticed earlier that the other party’s King Card and last regular card, only scored a total of 30 points.

It means that there must be a weak card between the two of them or both cards might be weak.

That’s why he placed the[Sword Dancing Lady]in the King Card position to gain 200 hit points and used the[Golden Bell Demon]to expose it early.

His thought was to use[Penetration]to perform chain attacks, attacking the other party’s King Card through the regular card.

But now...

The conditions were more stringent than he expected.

This[Hostage]wasn’t a landmine card, but it was better than a landmine card.

"Let’s see what you’re going to do now, hehehe."

So that’s the reason why Gnome Mothman was so fearless.

[Hostage]was in his hands, so he saw the issuance of the mission too.

"I knew, you drew a Treatment Card, afraid that I was hiding a landmine card, right?"

"But even if it’s a landmine card, what can you do."

"A wisdom card, how many times can it heal?"

"If you want to win, you have to destroy her, but if you destroy her, you lose."

"But you can hold back. You’ve never touched my covered card. I should praise that, hahaha!"

This was the first time for the Gnome Mothman to know how refreshing it was to kidnap someone else’s mission NPC!

Even in a 2v1, there was nothing they could do about him!

"Really?"

However, Ree Shil seemed to be not bothered at all.

"Huh?"

Then the Gnome Mothman discovered that the other party didn’t reveal their card during this round.

The last regular card was still covered.

"Trying to imitate me? Humph, mystify and bluff!"

He snorted coldly, controlling the King Card to attack the[Jade-Horned Deer].

Dealing with this healing card first would make him feel safer.

[Prey!]

-10

The Lizard-Man Warrior thrust a spear, and the damage number popped up.

[Yoohoo!]

+30

However, the Jade-Horned Deer raised its head and shouted, and a green light surrounded it.

"Sisi, can you hear me?"

At this moment, Ree Shil sent a message to Sisi.

[I can hear you! Save me, sob sob sob!]

Sisi was still crying.

This round, Ree Shil had all his other cards choose[Defense].

After this round, the card situation was as follows:

[Lizard-Man]

[Hostage]

VS

[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Ugly Man 74]

[Jade Horn 67][Empty Slot][Set card]

[Empty Slot][Dancing Lady][Empty Slot]

As the new round arrived, Ree Shil was ready to reveal his card.

The reason he hadn’t revealed his card in the previous round was because he wanted to observe the situation a little longer.

The original covered card was a[Wild fat cat].

The reason for placing this card was simple.

It could release[Fear].

[Fear]: The target is forced to[Defend]in the next round.

Forcing the other party’s landmine card to[Defend], and then attacking with[Penetration].

That way, the damage against the landmine card could be minimized.

But now it seemed that the other party’s King Card had recovery abilities, so the[Wild fat cat]was not enough.

Moreover, for self-preservation, the Jade-Horned Deer had used up its energy.

If they used the[Wild fat cat], the most they could do was to force the opponent’s King Card and[Hostage]to die together.
