Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 460: Chapter 168: Can You Please Stop Playing Possum

Just like before, the Fire Phoenix ultimately stood at the other end of the Curator’s card table.

Transforming into a flame-formed balance scale, it appeared faintly visible.

Indeed, Ree Shil thought he was too presumptuous.

When playing cards with such a veteran card player, he overlooked a crucial point.

In the card game, there was a variable factor that could change every round.

That was— Scene Card.

During previous battles with the Show Director and Old Curator, they might have given him some leeway and did not change the Scene Card frequently.

But looking back now, they even took out the 4A card set.

So, changing the Scene Card was normal, right?

Now take a look at the card face in the Curator’s hand.

[Phoenix Scale]

Scene, B

[Phoenix Strength Protection]:When the upper limit of one’s Balanced Reveal Card’s Health Points is greater than 100, the attack damage received is reduced by 5.

[Phoenix Light Harmony]: Each round, choose one’s own Balanced Reveal Card to perform 30 points of [Absorption] on another Balanced Reveal Card, both cards’ Attack Power is reduced by 5 during this time.

[Phoenix Soul Temporarily Returned]: Resurrect the lowest-scoring Balanced Card on your side for 2 rounds during the first reveal of this game.

([Resurrection]: The card reappears on the field in an E-Rank state and cannot take action)

At this time, outside the Blue Light Barrier, the card players in our city saw the card face and gasped in amazement.

"Damn! There’s even a resurrection card! What a scoundrel!"

"And if I remember correctly, the only retired Balanced Card on the other side is a[Boss Slime], which has both the highest and the lowest score!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Not only that, his King Card can also absorb the blood of the resurrection card!"

"If I were Coach Shil, I’d be numb right now."

"Indeed, you’d feel numb if you were in his shoes, having victory snatched away like that."

"Well, there’s still room for a comeback, let’s keep watching."

[Blop Blop Blop~]

With the reveal of the [Phoenix Scale], a blue light flowed and gradually condensed on the card table.

The position was where the [Boss Slime] had previously been.

[Blop Blop Blop~]

After the blue light finished flowing and gathering, the figure of the [Boss Slime] reappeared on the card table.

[Boss Slime]

160/160, 2 rounds.

Seeing this card, Ree Shil had no appetite for it.

If its passive effect was not counted and it only resurrected with 100 Health Points, it would have been worth considering taking it on.

But with 160 Health Points now, the cost to deal with it would be too high.

Without using[Double Strike], it wouldn’t be killed in one round.

If it took two rounds, then there would be no point in attacking it; he could just wait for it to disappear on its own.

As for using[Double Strike]...

In a single round, the maximum output would be 100+40+10+5=155 points, still 5 points short of killing it.

"What a coincidence, it’s infuriating."

Ree Shil calculated carefully, finding that even with a full burst of output, he still couldn’t kill the card in one round.

In plain words, this resurrection card was a meat shield and a blood bag for the King Card.

So he quickly accepted the situation, knowing that his approach needed to change.

Because if he recklessly charged at the opponent’s King Card, he would surely lose.

No matter what, the [Boss Slime] would definitely be on the field for two rounds.

This round, the [Nameless Sword Spirit] couldn’t reach the [Chief Slime], but it would still receive 30 points of [Absorption] and 30 points of [Healing].

(What should I do...)

Ree Shil looked at the current card face and fell into deep thought.

His computing power was, honestly, stronger than the Curator’s.

It was unknown whether it was due to his brain being close to a super-brain, or the small amount of mental resistance he faced. Anyway, it was innate.

A moment later, he made up his mind, completing his action choices.

Across the card table, the Curator observed all of this with a hint of approval on his face.

This Coach Shil held the potential of a formidable card player in the making.

Aside from cursing himself for cheating when he saw the[Phoenix Scale], he didn’t seem to suffer any negative effects.

He did not give up on the card game and continued to try new strategies.

Thinking of these points, the Curator also completed his action confirmation.

The new Action Phase began immediately.

On the Curator’s side:

A green light floated from the [Chief Slime], connecting to the top of the[Boss Slime], causing it to lose 30 Health Points.

Then, the[Chief Slime]attacked the[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], causing 40 points of damage.

[Shattered Slime]attacked the[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], causing 25 points of damage.

[Permeating Slime]attacked the[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], causing 5 points of damage.

The [Chief Slime]received 30 points of [Absorption].

[Light Slime]released 30 points of[Healing]on the[Chief Slime].

On Ree Shil’s side:

[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit]used[Double Strike]on[Reckless Slime], causing it to be [Dizzy] and unable to attack, as well as dying instantly.

[Origin of Malice Qi]attacked[Shattered Slime]and turned it into a[Malicious Puppet].

The original[Malicious Puppet]attacked the[Chief Slime], causing 5 points of damage.

[Nameless Sword Spirit]slashed around randomly for fun.

The round ended, and the cards on both sides were as follows:
