Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 385: Chapter 143 This is a bit embarrassing

Logically, even if a normal person was to predict that their opponent might [Exile] the [Golden Behemoth Statue], they would still prefer to use the skill of [Breaking Balance Sword] to be on the safe side, in case they were killed and missed the chance to use it.

Henry Thompson could only say that this represented the other party’s extreme confidence in themselves.

But this confidence was not the most terrifying thing.

Had this been an ordinary new card player, it could be easily explained away as recklessness.

But he knew that the person across the card table was a professional coach for playing cards.

That said, the other party’s confidence could very well be based on a multitude of successful cases.

As the saying goes, one could judge the quality of a tree by its leaves. At this moment on this card table, Henry Thompson finally saw Ree Shil for who they truly were.

Such a simple move was something that not many people could pull off.

Next, it was Henry Thompson’s turn for his cards to do damage.

[Jumping Roar!]

[Weeble Wobble!]

-5, -10

[Red Fire Jump]+[Golden Knight] both focused their fire on[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].

At the end of the round, the card faces of both sides are as follows:

[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Jellyfish]

[Red Fire][Behemoth 212.5][Elder Rider 2.5] freewebnoveℓ.com

VS

[Sheep Rabbit 80][Balance Breaking 57.5][Exorcism 75]

[Sword Spirit][Set Card][Set Card]

"..."

This kind of card face made Henry Thompson’s face dark.

Because in the next round, the fully charged [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] will inevitably take off 100 Health Points from the [Golden Behemoth Statue], making escape impossible.

This meant that there wasn’t much room for his subsequent cards to operate.

Soon, both sides confirmed their actions.

[Miecha~!]

Without a doubt, the [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] swung its nunchaku and charged out.

-50, -50, (Dizzy)

100-5=95 points of damage- that was the loss of Health Points for the [Golden Behemoth Statue] in this round.

Then, it was [Exiled].

After all, being controlled and losing the ability to attack, it’s better to be [Exiled] to avoid subsequent attacks.

[Boo-boo-boo~]

[Jumping Roar!]

[Elder Rider Buzz!]

Then Henry Thompson’s [Golden Demon Mother] ([Demon Qi]+10 Attack)+[Red Fire Jump]+[Golden Knight], all focused their fire on the [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].

Finally, they dealt 35+5+10=50 points of damage.

As long as he continues to focus fire next round, [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] is bound to die.

On Ree Shil’s side, however, the damage was distributed.

[Nameless Sword Spirit] killed [Golden Knight] with a single strike.

[Breaking Balance Sword]+[Demon-eliminating Human] focused fire on [Red Fire Jump], dealing 60 points of damage.

At the end of the round, both sides’ card faces are as follows:

[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Jellyfish]

[Red Fire 40][Behemoth 117.5][Elder Rider 0]

VS

[Sheep Rabbit 30][Balance Breaking 57.5][Exterminator 85]

[Sword Spirit][Set Card][Set Card]

What saddened Henry Thompson was that [Breaking Balance Sword] and [Demon-eliminating Human] were still holding onto their fully charged energy.

He had to admit that his moves had been caught by his opponent last round, and now the opponent had caught up.

The next moves of both sides directly affected the outcome of the card game.

So, Henry Thompson began to calculate in his mind what he should do this round.

Firstly, the combination of [Golden Demon Mother]+[Red Fire Jump]+[Golden Knight] could deal 50 points of damage to [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].

If the opponent goes into [Defense], then it would be 25 points of damage.

Twenty-five points of damage would not kill the [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].

However, if the opponent goes into [Defense], it means they didn’t add more energy, and they would have to die next round without any chance to play[Double Strike].

So the correct move for him this round should be to once again focus fire on[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] while[Red Fire Jump]and[Golden Knight]are still on the board.

That way, even if[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit]goes into [Defense], they can still take off 25 Health Points, leaving only 5 Health Points, which will be more than enough for[Red Fire Jump]to clean up in the next round.

But should he continue to[Exile]the[Golden Behemoth Statue]?

If the opponent attacks the[Golden Behemoth Statue], then it will be killed this round.

If the opponent does not attack the[Golden Behemoth Statue], then it can deal high damage output this round.

But now this issue is purely a psychological game.)

They say I predicted your prediction, you predicted my prediction of your prediction, and I predicted your prediction of my prediction of your prediction.

It could go on infinitely, in an endless loop.

Henry Thompson knew that thinking this way would not lead to an outcome.

So he chose the most primitive method, reciting a well-known ancient mantra in his mind:

(Tip the soldiers, tip the soldiers, whoever... you... tip... shall... be... conscripted!)

(Well, since that’s the will of fate.)

(Then don’t[Exile]this round!)

With a hint of vicious determination in his eyes, hardly noticeable, Henry Thompson made a decision.

But hard to notice does not mean impossible to notice.

His opponent was Ree Shil, so...

Both sides confirmed their actions and entered the action round.

The first to act is [Nameless Sword Spirit], dealing 20 points of damage to [Red Fire Jump], and putting it into a [Healing Forbidden] state.

(My god.)

Seeing this, Henry Thompson couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.

This Healing Forbidden card didn’t put[Healing Forbidden]on the[Golden Behemoth Statue] for two rounds already.

If he had known, he would have let the[Golden Knight]heal the[Golden Behemoth Statue]before dying this round.
