Free Web NovelChapter 44: Chapter 21: The Life-Card
"Kid, I’ve finally managed to wait for you."
At this time, Daniel Smith spoke with a resentful tone, combined with his line, one would think the two of them had some unresolved issues.
Ree Shil recognized the familiar voice and looked back. It was none other than the generous yet unskilled boss.
"Today, I’ll avenge my previous humiliation."
Daniel Smith said so.
That day, after going back he was so upset that he couldn’t eat dinner, only having a midnight snack.
He had been beating weaker players for so long, but it was his first time losing to a Level 1 new card player.
Since then, Daniel Smith would come to the Association Headquarters whenever he had time, waiting for Ree Shil to appear, hoping for revenge.
"Forget it, Boss."
Ree Shil waved his hand: "I’m not in the mood today."
He no longer had much interest in the small prize of 100 cubic coins.
It would be better to go home early and catch up on some sleep.
"..."
Daniel Smith seemed to have anticipated Ree’s rejection.
However, this time, he didn’t plan to lure him.
"? What are you doing?"
Ree Shil took a few steps and noticed that the guy was following him closely.
"Are you in a better mood now?"
Daniel Smith showed a harmless smile: "If you’re still not in the mood, I’ll ask you again later."
It seemed like he had the intention of following Ree home.
"..."
Ree Shil knew that he had encountered an annoying card player.
He understood that if he didn’t let him win once, this guy would probably keep pestering him endlessly.
"Fine, let’s do it."
So, he decided to get it over with, quickly lose a game, and leave.
"Ahahahaha!"
An opportunity for revenge had arrived, causing Daniel Smith to become excited.
Daniel Smith: "After losing to you last time, I went back and reviewed the game."
Ree Shil: "It was just a 2+1 game, what’s there to review?" freeweɓnovel.cøm
Daniel Smith: "For the sake of fairness, let’s not use C-Class Cards this time, alright?"
Ree Shil: "... I think you just don’t have any C-Class Cards."
Daniel Smith: "Enough talking, I let you win last time, but today I will use all my strength!"
Daniel Smith: "You’ve defeated me, so I acknowledge your strength, and I won’t see you as a new card player anymore."
Daniel Smith: "So, this game, let’s do 3+1!"
In the end, Ree Shil didn’t bother to respond to what he said.
It was just a 3+1 game, but he spoke as if it was far more advanced than a 2+1 game.
Buzz!
Daniel Smith waved his hand and summoned the blue light card table.
There are two types of 3+1 card games.
One is vertical 3+1:
[Set card]
[Set card]
[Set card]
[King card]
In this type of game, under normal circumstances, one needs to break through a whole row of three regular cards to reach the King Card.
The other type is horizontal 3+1:
[Set card][Set card][Set card]
[King card][King card][King card]
In this type of game, there are three card slots in the King Card Row, and they all appear as Covered Cards, but in reality, there is only one King Card.
To defeat an opponent, one must quickly guess and find which King Card Slot the opponent’s King Card is actually in.
The game Daniel Smith chose today was vertical 3+1.
Both sides finished setting their cards, and the game officially began.
"This time, I’ll let you reveal the card first!"
Daniel Smith folded his arms, showing a magnanimous attitude.
He had lost last time because he revealed his card first.
"Superstition is not a good thing."
Ree Shil didn’t care, and flicked his finger.
[Clang!]
A dark black iron stick floated above the card face.
"Hmph, it’s this card again."
"Let me show you what a Level 10 card player’s foundation is like."
Daniel Smith’s lips curled up slightly and revealed his first card.
White strong light enveloped the card face.
[Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!]x4
As the light receded, a mobile goblin cannon appeared.
The so-called mobile cannon referred to the cannon placed on a wooden frame with four short green goblins carrying it.
"This is a good card."
Ree Shil clearly saw the card face and praised it.
[Goblin Mobile Cannon]
Breaking Force, 40 Points, D
Attack 20, 100/100
[Special Shells-Passive]: Goblin Mobile Cannon’s Attack Power -20, but has[Penetration]effect.
([Penetration]: When attacking the target, it deals equal damage to the target’s back.)
In his view, what made this card good was its[Penetration]effect, which was relatively rare among DPS effects.
It could attack two cards in one column at the same time.
When it was time for the action round, the four goblins put down the turret and started a series of operations on it.
One was cleaning the cannon by using a long, fluffy stick to scrub it.
Two of them were loading shells, struggling to carry a huge iron ball and stuff it into the cannon.
Finally, the last one was holding a torch and was responsible for igniting the cannon.
Bang!
-20, -20
The cannonball hit the iron stick and the Covered Card behind it, and two damage numbers popped up.
[Clang! Clang!]
As the iron stick was attacked, it swung into a counterattack.
Boom!
-26
The mobile cannon suffered some damage.
"Hahahaha! 40 points of damage traded for 26 points, this round is a huge advantage for me!"
Daniel Smith laughed triumphantly.
He chose the vertical 3+1 specifically to make use of his[Goblin Mobile Cannon]card.
"But don’t think it’s over yet. The next round is when I’ll truly show off my prowess."
"Hehehehehe..."
He looked at Ree Shil with a sinister grin: "Do you know, when it comes to Card Player’s Talents, there’s a universally recognized law?"
"Talent doesn’t play on the table?"
Ree Shil actually knew this law.
The so-called talent doesn’t play on the table means that there are countless types of card player talents, but they all share one characteristic.
