Chapter 393: Chapter 145: The Prototype of the Great Sage_3
"Currently, my card deck must include the [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], worth 40 points. If I have a 20-point [Martial Monkey], it can better lower the score."
"For example, if I used [Martial Monkey] against Old Thompson today, I could save 10 points and play [Iron Stick] as the King Card."
"So, I should control the card deck’s score well."
After coming to a conclusion, he clapped his hands together.
Slap!
Light leaked from his palms, and the cards formed.
"I don’t need to worry about survivability. I excel at finding solutions for that."
As one of the first choices for the first row cards, [Martial Monkey]’s shortcoming is its inability to [Defense], but he has a solution for it.
[Martial Monkey] is just a C level card, so there’s plenty of room for improvement.
Therefore, after lying back down on his chair, he started to preview.
"Got it."
Soon after, Ree Shil reopened his eyes.
He noticed one formula.
[Martial Monkey]+[Disease Mutant Stone-eating Beast]=[Martial Monkey]
This [Disease Mutant Stone-eating Beast] isn’t the one he used to create cards with the Floral Jade Deer.
It’s another one he encountered in the big "zero" level of the [Balance-Way of balance].
Unlike the previous white-colored diseased Stone-eating Beast, this Stone-eating Beast was fully blackened. They just have the same name.
[Disease Mutant Stone-eating Beast]
Balance, 20 points, D
Attack 20, 100/100
[Stone Disease - Passive]: When the Disease Mutant Stone-eating Beast’s health reaches 0, it turns into a [Stone Statue]
Although it also has Stone Disease, the effect is different.
Let’s see the result of this card combined with [Martial Monkey].
[Martial Monkey]
Balance, 20 points, B
Attack 20, 100/100
[Temperament-Passive]: Martial Monkey is unable to use [Defense] or [Attack]
[Counter-Attack Passive]: When Martial Monkey is attacked, it immediately counterattacks the target
[Stone Monkey-Passive]: When Martial Monkey’s health reaches 0, it turns into a [Stone Monkey]
This [Stone Monkey] is the essence of it all.
[Stone Monkey]
Balance, 0 points, D
Attack 0, 60/60 freeωebnovēl.c૦m
[Immovable-Passive]: Stone Monkey remains in a [Petrified] state
([Petrification]: Target loses action ability, damage taken in this round is -10)
From the card face, it can be seen as a second-level summoned card.
However, Ree Shil thought it is still [Martial Monkey], as it retains the original labels, such as Kung Fu Card Set and others.
You know, under normal circumstances, the most significant function of the first row cards is to withstand damage.
Although the [Stone Monkey] has no attack power, it can withstand damage.
It can be seen as the [Martial Monkey] having 160 health points with damage reduction for the last 60.
Isn’t that a better tank than the previous [Martial Fighting Monkey]?
Well, let’s do a specific analysis based on the situation.
When facing different opponents, the two cards can withstand different levels of damage, each with its advantages and disadvantages.
But Ree Shil felt that his goal has been achieved.
Eliminating the risky automatic [Penetration], and both survivability and DPS don’t suffer too much.
Withstanding damage and delivering damage, this card is still top-notch.
Then he clapped his hands.
Hum!
Light spilled from his palms, and the cards formed.
"*Sigh*...
Relief washed over Ree Shil after accomplishing his goal.
’Stone Monkey, Stone Monkey, will I end up making a Great Saint card in the end?’
Kong, Ree Shil played with the Great Saint card, wondering.
Stepping outside the Association Headquarters, Ree Shil’s satisfaction was apparent.
On his way out, he ran into Daniel Smith who had just schooled a few newcomers. He too seemed quite contented.
Ree Shil expressed his gratitude and bid farewell.
Both of them completely forgot to exchange names.
After returning home and getting a good night’s sleep, he went to the Showcase Club to see the Curator the next day.
Ree Shil handed over all of his Dungeon profits to the Curator and still owed a hefty sum of 10,000.
The Curator had heard of his close loss to Henry Thompson and appeared regretful.
Nothing really happened for the following few days.
Perhaps it was because of the imminent arrival of Lan-Lan’s City Delegation Team, the selection tournament suddenly quieted down for them.
There was no one initiating a challenge at the hall.
Since there would be side effects to consuming too many Cooldown Potions, Ree Shil decided this time to focus on patiently waiting for the Dungeon cooldown time.
Finally, the cooldown time ended and he prepared to go to The Way of the Wind.
Compared to the already-explored Balance-Way of balance, the unexplored Way of the Wind would surely have greater returns.
Before embarking on his adventure, Mossy Mushroom came to find Ree Shil.
It acted as a representative for the group, inviting him for a Dungeon.
Slame, somehow, had gotten their hands on an Instance Crystal.
The Dungeon was called the Mythical Version of Three Kingdoms. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
At the sound of the name alone, it gave the impression of being incredibly vast.
Evidently, the time ratio was 1:30.
This was a whopping ten times that of Balance-Way of balance and Way of the Wind.
As a comparison, Ree Shil, of course, would have preferred going to Way of the Wind.
So he refused their invitation and promised to join them on the next Dungeon instead.
And so, he entered Way of the Wind.
[Dungeon key detected]
[Activating Dungeon...]
Buzz...
His figure blurred and wavered before vanishing inside the room.
As his vision switched and his feet touched solid ground, Ree Shil found himself standing in a Pure White Space.
[Please select, the card power you desire for this journey]
As the pleasant mechanical voice spoke, panels appeared one by one before him.
The seven cards floating in front of him were[Balance][Berserk][Wisdom][Determination][Breaking Force][Chasing Wind][Listening Wind].
’Let me think. What card power should I choose for this time?’
With his chin propped on his hand, he pondered over his decision.
’Based on my experience in Balance-Way of balance, the most suitable card power for Way of the Wind might be [Chasing Wind] itself.’
’Or it could be that achieving balance isn’t possible, so[Balance]might be the most suitable for Balance-Way of balance.’
’I have a feeling that[Listening Wind]might pose a better resistance to Way of the Wind.’
’But this is my first time exploring a new area, and the most crucial is to venture further and see farther.’
’From a survival perspective, [Determination]should be the primary choice.’
’[Balance], with its 6-inscriptions effect, shares health points and is also a strong choice for staying alive.’
After giving it some thought, he ultimately decided to choose [Determination Power].
’Way of the Wind, huh? Here I come.’
