Chapter 298: Chapter 114: The Mysterious Book_2
"Indeed, that would make the two of us look like complete losers."
Secretary Brown showed a bitter smile on the side.
"That’s not true, not true at all."
Ree Shil signalled the two of them not to belittle themselves: "I had a hard time just making it to [Second Gate Nine]." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
He wasn’t lying.
After reaching the second stage, the difficulty of the small monsters became very apparent.
Moreover, since the inscriptions needed to be collected again, the first few levels were particularly tough.
He failed several times at the [Second Gate Five] elite monster.
Not to mention the BOSS of [Second Gate Ten], he only saw it once and died without knowing why.
The one and only record of [Second Gate Nine] was also achieved there.
Overall, Ree Shil believed his all B level card deck was not too bad.
At least in terms of strength, playing the second stage shouldn’t be a problem.
But one of the key points is that he didn’t have a good PVE card deck.
Specialized PVE card decks are weak on the PVP card table, but great in instances.
The second key point is that he is indeed not familiar enough with various inscriptions, resonance effects, and spell cards.
During this instance, he had encountered many repeated inscriptions, which meant that there might not be as many types and varieties of inscriptions as he had imagined.
The same was true for spell cards.
So he still lacked a lot of concepts on how to match inscriptions and spell cards.
He would definitely perform better the next time he enters the [Way of Balance].
Knock knock.
Just then, a coach knocked on the Office Room door.
"Ah? Coach Shil, you finally showed up."
Seeing Ree Shil, the coach raised his eyebrows: "The challenge players are already at the entrance of the Card Club, waiting for you."
He came here to report this matter.
Show Director and Secretary Brown both looked at Ree Shil at the same time.
Since he had already come out of the [Way of Balance], his card deck should be stronger than before.
If Ree Shil was willing, he could immediately accept the challenge now.
"Let them go back first, tell them I didn’t go to work because I really didn’t go to work." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Ree Shil waved his hand, signaling the other party to help drive them away.
As for himself, he put his feet flat on the sofa and was ready to take a break and rest for a while.
"Alright."
The coach looked at him and then nodded and left.
"What’s your plan now?"
Secretary Brown looked at Ree Shil.
If he doesn’t accept the challenge this time, it means that in three days, he will have to accept the challenge by the last deadline.
"I... want to go to the Association Headquarters and attend some classes, about card-making, oh no, about the official card-making course."
Ree Shil spoke out his previous idea.
He had encountered a bottleneck in card-making.
No matter how good the card quality or compatibility, he couldn’t see an A level card preview result.
Perhaps he needed some proper theory knowledge.
"But the card-making course doesn’t happen every day."
Show Director, who was more familiar with this field, said with a frown, "Relevant professional teachers are quite rare, and they are usually arranged by the Association Headquarters to travel back and forth between various cities for classes."
"I’ve checked the recent schedule, and there are no card-making related courses."
Her words inevitably disappointed Ree Shil a bit.
"Or, are you interested in shuffling cards?"
"Today is the shuffling cards class, which teaches how to shuffle cards in a dazzling manner."
"Tomorrow, it’s the stacking cards class, like building a pyramid or a domino array."
"The card back carving course is in three days, teaching card players how to make their own card covers."
Then she recommended a bunch of other random courses to Ree Shil.
"...These three courses are really useless."
Ree Shil was speechless.
"Oh, you want something practical, why didn’t you say so earlier!"
Unexpectedly, the Show Director admitted that shuffling and stacking cards were useless, and then introduced the other courses like a machine gun.
"There are also other professional skills courses in the Association Headquarters."
"Hair cutting, cooking, gardening, tailoring, skydiving, excavators, reversing into parking spaces, air conditioner installation and troubleshooting, driver’s escape and surrender..."
"Wait, wait."
Finally, Ree Shil interrupted her.
He rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit dazed.
Is this some subsidiary of New Oriental? But New Oriental wouldn’t teach skydiving, would it?
By the way...
He had been calling it the Association Headquarters for the whole time, but he never paid attention to its full name.
"The Association... isn’t it the Card Players Association?"
He felt that he had been misunderstanding for a long time.
Show Director: "Of course, of course, it is."
Ree Shil: "Then why are there these random courses...?"
Show Director: "The Association serves card players, so naturally, if card players want to learn, we will arrange the corresponding courses."
Secretary Brown: "I heard that the Association in the city next door even teaches how to fall in love, and how girls chase boys."
Ree Shil: "Chased by girls or chased by boys?"
Secretary Brown: "Both."
Ree Shil: "..."
There were just too many different species in the Cube Card Metaverse. Even after having traversed for several months, Ree Shil still couldn’t adapt to the diversity.
"If you just need some basic theory and introductory knowledge, you don’t need to attend professional courses."
"You can directly go to the Reading Hall of Association Headquarters to consult materials."
At this time, Secretary Brown gave him a very useful suggestion.
"Right, considering the diverse duties of the Association Headquarters, how could they not have a library?"
