Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 389: Chapter 144: Are you here to squat for the newcomer too?_2

At the same time, it also showed that unconsciously, he had already acknowledged the other player’s skills on the card table.

"Old Thompson, you’re amazing."

As the loser, Ree Shil was quite candid about it.

"Actually, you didn’t lose."

At this point, Henry Thompson said, "Because your Scene Card didn’t play much of a role."

"And the reason I won was because of the[Golden Demon City]."

"If neither side had a Scene Card, or if you had a B-level, no, a better C-level Scene Card, you would have won a long time ago."

"Remember, my promise to you still stands, and the door of Henry Thompson Gaming Hall is always open for you."

The more he looked at the young lad, the more he liked him.

There’s no way around it; card players just love strong ones.

However, hearing these words from the others around took on a different meaning.

"Join if you can’t beat them. Coach Ree Shil was convinced by Curator Thompson on the card table."

"Curator Thompson acknowledges Coach Ree Shil’s strength and claims that he lost to Coach Ree Shil."

"Has Coach Shil won against Director Thompson, meaning winning against Coach Shil is equal to winning against Director Thompson?"

"If these words get out, I’m afraid Coach Shil will have more challengers."

"Is that so? That would be interesting."

As the conversation progresses, it seems to deviate from the truth.

As the saying goes, three people can create a tiger, but to fabricate in front of the parties involved shows that these guys aren’t very serious.

"Get out! Don’t you have to go to work?"

Faced with these comments, all Henry Thompson could do was laugh and scold.

After dispelling the crowd, he asked Ree Shil and Blue Skin to sit down.

"Stanley."

Playing with the golden teacup, Henry Thompson’s tone suddenly turned serious, "You’ve heard about the Balance Hall delegation, haven’t you?"

"Yeah."

Ree Shil recounted the situation when Flat Orange sent the post. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"That’s good."

After listening, Henry Thompson nodded and continued, "I had already explained the situation to my men about today’s card game."

"Only reveal the result, not the process."

"So, in the following days, don’t take out those cards, especially the [Breaking Balance Sword] and [Nameless Sword Spirit]."

At this point, he looked at Blue Skin.

The meaning of his gaze was quite apparent.

"Coach Shil and I belong to the same Card Club, so of course, we wouldn’t reveal his card deck!"

Blue Skin understood the meaning of the other’s gaze and was a bit apprehensive.

"Not bad, you guy."

Ree Shil had a new level of respect for the other.

He couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: knowing the big picture.

Blue Skin: Are you praising me or cursing me?

Ree Shil: You guess.

Blue Skin: ..., I feel both meanings are there.

"I heard that among the representatives of the Balance Hall this time, there are a few card players of your age who have the same experience as you."

At this time, Henry Thompson continued, "They are also newcomers in the field of card playing the past year."

"I heard they will also participate in the Balance District City Competition."

"Perhaps you should pay more attention to them as your peers."

After speaking, he picked up the golden teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Oh?"

Hearing they were also new, and of a similar age made Ree Shil more interested.

The representative selection mechanism in Lan-Lan Metropolis is similar to their side, so the card players recommended by Balance Hall are definitely not weak.

Just being a newcomer and being able to stand out among the veteran players is proof of strength.

He was really interested in meeting such opponents.

Playing against stronger card players all the time gets boring, so finding a few similar strength opponents for a change is not bad.

"There is some time before those guys come, you can try to improve yourself by taking another trip to Instance."

"At that time, give them a good shock."

Listening to Henry Thompson’s tone, it seemed he wasn’t too fond of the foreign delegations.

"Alright, Old Thompson, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first, Old Thompson."

After checking the time, Ree Shil decided to leave.

The purpose of this trip was to earn points, and since he didn’t get any from Old Thompson, he had to look elsewhere.

Before departure, he had a backup plan.

On the way back from Henry Thompson Gaming Hall, there were two Card Clubs along the way where he could fish for Catfish Heads and then go for Bear before going home.

Catfish Head: ?

Bear: ?

So, after telling Blue Skin the plan, they embarked on a new Challenge Hall journey.

The next two stops were relatively smooth, as Catfish Head and Bear just happened to be there.

Ree Shil’s [Nameless Sword Spirit], [Breaking Balance Sword], and [Origins of Malice] cards were not used during these games.

All in all, the two games were back and forth, even thrilling but not dangerous.

But, at least, he won.

This way, his score increased to 40 points, pulling a significant gap between him and the other players.

In the end, Ree Shil didn’t return to Showcase Club but asked Blue Skin to drop him off at home.

Initially, coming out of Instance and playing four consecutive card games, he felt quite exhausted.

But after freshening up and lying in bed, he couldn’t fall asleep.

After some thought, he decided to open the card-making panel.

The [Martial Fighting Monkey] problem kept lingering in his mind.

This card’s counterattack ability is undoubtedly excellent.

And if you insist on saying so, it can be called a mini-top-tier card in the B-Class Cards.

But when it comes to cards, you can’t only look at the panel to judge their strength fully.

You need to see the real thing on the card table and practice through enough games.
