Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 390: Chapter 144: Are you here to squat for the newcomer too?_3

Now proven by actual combat, this card has obvious flaws.

The first obvious disadvantage is that passive [Penetration] is prone to losing control and lacking initiative.

In the previous card games against Bear and Henry Thompson, they both took advantage of this flaw and revealed the King Card prematurely.

Honestly, when the opposing card face is relatively intact, especially when there are still Guard Cards present, the premature unveiling of the King Card is a disadvantage for Ree Shil.

It’s like having an extra card in the battle, forming a 7 to 6 situation.

Additionally, although this[Penetration] is relatively cheap compared to other[Penetration], it doesn’t require energy and is a permanent passive.

But the problem is, its DPS is also very cheap.

Often dealing damages at the level of 0.25, or even when the counter-penetration target reaches the [Defense], decimals up to the third place like 0.125 appear.

What’s the big, important problem when such figures appear?

It’s that they dazzle his eyes, making his head ache when calculating cards.

Especially when calculating cards, it’s simply annoying.

So Ree Shil decided to properly modify the[Martial Fighting Monkey]card.

He will keep the core mechanism of counterattack, but needs to make some changes to[Penetration].

If it doesn’t work out, he’ll just abandon it altogether since so far, he hasn’t seen a significant amount of damage dealt by the automatic[Penetration].

But how should he go about it in practice...?

Looking at the full yet unsatisfactory preview results in the card-making panel, he felt a bit overwhelmed.

So he simply didn’t rest and directly ordered some takeout to be delivered to the Association Entrance.

Then he took a car and headed to the Association Headquarters.

Since he had made a reservation, the takeout arrived just as he got to the Association.

After stuffing some food into his mouth, Ree Shil came to the library once again.

When one has an obsession in mind, they can be especially focused and tireless.

Ree Shil stood in front of the bookshelf for a full 2 hours.

Fortunately, the Association’s library is open 24 hours, so there was no concern about time.

hours later, he went to the automatic beverage machine in the Grand Hall and bought a bottle of Little Raccoon Brand Cowcow. He then found a place to sit and rest.

There are many books in the library, as well as smart robots to help search.

But Ree Shil still couldn’t find the answer he was looking for.

First, let’s take a look at the[Martial Fighting Monkey]card.

[Martial Fighting Monkey]

Balance, 30 points, B

Attack 15, 100/100

[Thorough Strength-Passive]: Martial Fighting Monkey’s attack power -15, direct attacks with a direct [Penetration] halved

[Passive Expert-Passive]: Martial Fighting Monkey cannot [Defense], but direct damage is reduced by 10 when attacked directly

[Monkey Fist Counterattack-Passive]: When Martial Fighting Monkey is directly attacked, immediately retaliate with a 50% direct attack on the target

([Penetration]: When attacking a target, deal equal damage to one adjacent target behind it)

His idea is to find a skill with a high compatibility and fit to replace[Thorough Strength].

But since he couldn’t get satisfactory results from the previews, he wanted to see if there are any card-making materials related to the word[Penetration].

Especially if there is anything with a high compatibility with[Penetration], allowing it to change from one effect to another.

If such compatible material exists, maybe he can first make a material card through card making and then use this material card for[Martial Fighting Monkey].

After searching with the help of the smart robot for a long time, he found that most information is about strengthening the[Penetration]entry.

The few documents on[Penetration]replacement are not helpful and don’t point to what he wants.

"Eh, what are you doing here?"

As Ree Shil was frowning with his eyes closed, a voice sounded in front of him.

He opened his eyes and saw the long-lost Daniel Smith: "Vegetable Boss?"

"What, you’re here to watch newcomers too?"

Daniel Smith was pleasantly surprised to find a colleague.

He had been watching newcomers for a long time and never encountered a colleague, let alone someone he knew.

What was his... name again?

"Uh, of course not."

However, Ree Shil immediately denied it.

"Then what are you doing here?"

Daniel Smith was puzzled.

"Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you."

Ree Shil waved his hand.

"How would I know if you don’t tell me?"

Daniel Smith was not very tactful.

Hearing this, Ree couldn’t help but size him up.

He was free anyway, so why not... share?

Moreover, it was not a secret.

When you can’t think of a solution, you can always borrow someone else’s brain to help. Maybe there will be a turnaround.

He size up Daniel again.

Oh, no. It seems like he can only borrow half a brain.

"Your gaze is weird, are you cursing me?"

"No, no, it’s just your imagination."

So Ree Shil briefly explained the situation to Daniel Smith.

"Oh."

However, Daniel Smith didn’t seem very interested in it, and he walked away after listening.

About ten minutes later, the guy surprisingly reappeared in front of Ree Shil with a book in his hand.

"Take a look at this, it might help."

Having said that, Daniel handed the book to Ree Shil.

"? What do you mean?"

Ree Shil accepted the book, puzzled.

"When I’m here waiting for newcomers, I occasionally like to go to the library and flip through books."

"I may look like this, but I have a photographic memory."

Daniel Smith pointed to his head.

"If you’re so talented, why are you still so bad at cards? Is that also innate?"

Ree Shil was suspicious.

Logically, if someone has a photographic memory, they shouldn’t be that bad at cards.

"Hey, you can curse me, but you can’t insult me."

Daniel Smith’s face turned serious.

"...," But cursing you means insulting you, right?"

Ree Shil retorted.

And he’s not the one who said "don’t look at me like that". ƒrēewebnovel.com

It’s okay for him to insult himself, but not for others to insult him?

What’s the reason?

"Anyway, just check it out. Remember to return it after you’re done."

Daniel Smith gestured and hurried away.

Because he spotted a target, a newcomer registered today!

A strange guy, half mechanical and half red-blue demon, looking very easy to bully!
