Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 254: Chapter 99 [The Path of Balance]_3

"First of all, the representatives for the city competition will naturally be chosen from our city."

"There will ultimately be three representatives."

The city they are in has a population of millions.

Although not everyone is enthusiastic about playing cards, picking only three people is like choosing one in a million.

To be honest, facing such odds, Ree Shil agreed to join the Card Club battle, but he didn’t have much confidence.

"You should know that those three representatives may not all come from our Card Club circle."

Then Secretary Brown continued.

"Although our profession in the Card Club is playing cards, there are talented individuals in all walks of life, and it’s not necessarily our exclusive domain."

"In previous years, it was rare for our Card Club to occupy all three places. Usually, we would have one stable spot, and having two representatives would be considered good."

In the Cube Card Metaverse, many people play cards.

Florists, breakfast shop owners, gatekeepers - all of them could be card masters, and such examples were countless.

"Strictly speaking, what we are doing now is the selection within the industry."

"That is, selecting representatives to participate in the representative selection tournament."

Secretary Brown’s words were a bit convoluted, but Ree Shil understood.

The general idea was that the Card Club industry in their city would select some players to participate in the city’s representative selection tournament, competing with players recommended by other industries for the mere three spots available.

"So when I said ’begin,’ I was referring to the internal selection of our Card Club circle."

"For this year, various Card Club Directors, including myself, have decided on an internal selection method called the Challenge Hall Match."

Next, he explained in detail what the Challenge Hall Match was for Ree Shil. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The Challenge Hall Match was actually a point-based selection contest.

It was divided into two parts: kicking the hall and guarding the hall.

One side’s Card Club would send a representative to the other side’s Card Club venue to play a 6+1 card round.

The winning side would get 3 points.

The losing side would get no points.

The rules for the challengers were that each Card Club could only challenge once, whether successful or not.

"The official city selection will take place in three months, so the time limit for our internal Challenge Hall Match is also three months."

"Within these three months, you can freely choose the time to kick the hall."

"If the defender is not available, the challenge will be postponed for 3 days."

"Once a challenge is initiated, the challenger must arrive on time, and if the challenger does not arrive 3 days later, they are considered defeated."

"The defender can postpone three times against the same challenger, and if they do not accept the challenge after three times, they will be directly considered defeated."

"Each Card Club can only recommend one player to act as both the challenger and the defender."

"Our Card Club has nominated you."

"In theory, you will have to play two rounds of card games with every representative from the other competing Card Clubs, one round in which you are the challenger and the other round in which you are the defender."

"By the way, those who have represented our city in the City Competition in the past are not allowed to participate again."

In practice, the rules for the card table were the same whether it was for kicking the hall or defending the hall.

It was simply a two-round system to give card players a higher error tolerance rate.

As for the kicking and defending hall, it was a tradition among Card Clubs and could be seen as a ceremonial event.

"Alright, I get it."

Ree Shil nodded and asked, "What’s the second thing?"

As he brought up the question, the old Curator put down the dumbbell on the other end.

Because the second matter was left for him to discuss.

"Young lad, how long have you been here since you traversed?"

He inquired first.

"Uh... about 456 months, I can’t remember exactly."

"Do you know that the Cube Card Metaverse is divided into seven major regions?"

"Yes, I know."

"Then do you know which region our city belongs to?"

"Yes, I know - the balance district."

The concept of a major region here is vast.

Ree Shil did not understand how vast it was, he only knew that even one region was far larger than the Blue Star of his hometown.

The City Competition they were going to participate in was just the Balance District City Competition.

"Good, now that you know that, let me introduce something to you."

"Our Balance District’s specialty: the ’Way of Balance’."

As he spoke, the old Curator walked to the front of the desk, pulled open the drawer, and took out a crystal from it.

"This is... a Dungeon key."

Ree Shil recognized it.

The crystal was hexagonally shaped, like a token.

Two big characters were written in the middle of the token: Balance.

"Yes and no, this is not the Dungeon key you understand." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The old Curator said as he tossed it to Ree Shil.

"This is a growth-type + recyclable instance that will grow with your card player level."

"Bind it, and it’s yours."

The crystal fell into Ree Shil’s hands.

"This... "

He felt that the old Curator was perhaps too generous, giving away the Dungeon keys so casually?

"Don’t worry, this thing is not easy to find, but it’s not a valuable item either."

Director Brown seemed to notice his mood.

While signing with one hand, she flipped her other palm upwards.

Hum!

The same hexagonal Dungeon key appeared, and there was even a projection on it, with the words ’Fourth Level Eight’ written on it.

"You slacker, you’re still at ’Fourth Level Eight’?"

The old Curator seemed quite dissatisfied with those three characters and pressed his big hand directly on her head.

"Rest assured, with the foundation of Show Family, this thing is not precious, and we all have it."

Seeing the old Curator tussling with Director Brown, Secretary Brown continued to explain.

He also showed off his own "Way of Balance", which was written as ’Fourth Level Three’.

"Look at little Brown here, his card player level is lower than yours, and now he’s already reached Fourth Level Three!"

"Maybe one day he’ll catch up with you, how shameful would that be!"

Seeing his numbers, the old Curator’s anger grew even stronger.

"Ahem."

Secretary Brown, who had succeeded in stirring the pot, coughed twice and smiled at Ree Shil, "This instance is really special, I think you should explore it yourself, and I won’t introduce more about it."

"Anyway, you should find it interesting."

With that said, Ree Shil became interested as well.

However, just as he was about to check the Instance information, the door to the office was suddenly knocked on.

"Director Brown, there’s someone outside wanting to challenge the hall!"

The coach didn’t know there were other people inside, so he called out to Secretary Brown through the door.
