Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 467: Chapter 170: Exclusive Scene Card for Kung Fu Card Set_2

Museum Director Phoenix: "Well, that’s hard to say, I’ve just heard that they aren’t weak."

"So, you want to poach our Stanley, huh?"

Show Director guessed the other party’s intentions.

"Exactly, I wonder if Coach Shil would consider switching sides... after securing the city’s slot, of course, come to our Card Club."

Museum Director Phoenix stated the purpose of his visit.

"You’ve got guts, poaching my guy and announcing it to my face?"

If it was anyone else, she would have thrown him out by now.

"Stanley will decide for himself, I don’t have the final say."

For now, all she did was shrug.

Museum Director Phoenix: "Or maybe he could work two jobs, signing with both our Card Clubs?"

Show Director: "Heh, work two jobs you say."

Museum Director Phoenix: "Or how about an honorary employee or something to that effect on our end?"

Show Director: "You’ve been recruiting everywhere you go with the delegation, don’t you? Approaching every potential and capable player you see."

Museum Director Phoenix: "Of course, and I’ve already successfully recruited a few."

Show Director: "Among them, anyone who has beaten you in a card game?"

Museum Director Phoenix: "Hm? Peerless Show?"

Show Director: "Hahahaha... hic!"

Even with the teasing, Show Director still agreed to relay the message.

If Ree Shil is interested, he could directly contact Museum Director Phoenix.

With this, Museum Director Phoenix had more or less accomplished his objective.

Seeing that Show Director was still teasing him, he knew he’d overstayed his welcome.

"Oh, there’s one more thing."

Just as he was about to leave, he turned back around.

"You know, I’ve done some research on scene cards."

"Yesterday, playing against Coach Shil, I noticed his Kung Fu deck has a lot of potential."

Previously, he’d just skimmed over the data. It was only after actually playing against Ree Shil that he realized his Kung Fu deck was both proficient and strong.

The key was that Kung Fu cards are a niche category and not easy to counter.

There were perhaps only two directions where the deck may be vulnerable.

The first, similar to his Slime deck of last night, which focused on attack and damage reduction.

As far as he could see, Ree Shil’s Kung Fu deck relied solely on attack.

Non-attack damage skills, like energy damage, fluctuation damage, or poisoning damage were absent. freewёbnoνel.com

The second, cards that broadly counter, like those countering human-shaped cards or countering flesh and blood.

Kung Fu cards were typically human-shaped cards, or what could be considered as flesh and blood cards.

However, retaliate tags tend to be more effective the more specific they are.

Tags with a broad scope tend to either have a bad card face, weak retaliation effect or cost and side effects. fгeewebnovёl.com

Of course, the "Breaking Balance Sword" he saw yesterday was an exception.

The coverage was broad, and the effect was powerful, making it quite a formidable card.

You must remember, this is just a B-Class Card. He didn’t dare imagine what it would be like if it were an A-Class Card.

Nor have I seen many of the seven major card type counter cards.

"So, let him know that his Kung Fu card set is well worth further cultivation."

"Heh, as if you need to tell me that. You’re just a sore loser!"

"Screw you, that’s enough."

Museum Director Phoenix, dumbfounded by her remark, pulled a small scroll from his pocket.

"I have a scene card recipe that’s well-suited to a Kung Fu deck."

"With just some not-too-valuable Material Cards, it could be made into a D-grade Scenery Card."

"Moreover, there are plenty of substitutions for these Material Cards."

"Could you pass it along to him?"

With that, he tossed the scroll over.

Here, it is important to notice that this was not an attempt to bribe Ree Shil.

It was simply a feeling that the recipe was wasted in his hands.

Now that he had met a newcomer perfectly suited to this Scene Card, why not give it away?

Think of it as a love of talent.

"Oh? It’s still sealed?"

Show Director raised an eyebrow as she took the scroll.

The rope buckle on the scroll was made of blue light energy.

This indicated that as soon as it was unlocked, it would immediately bind.

As a veteran card player, she naturally knew what this was.

A consumable recipe.

Simply put, Material Card A + Material Card B can be combined, possibly resulting in either a card explosion or the fusion of something else.

If you want to synthesize the card in this formula, you need Material Card A + Material Card B + Recipe Scroll. None of them can be missing.

"Hmm, it was a reward I got in the card-making instance."

"I had a quick glance over the card’s effect during the Instance Mission, don’t worry."

"I take my leave."

Waving his hand, Museum Director Phoenix left the office casually.

"Thanks, consider this compensation for his victory."

But the words of Show Director on the other end directly caused his failure, so he quickly left.

I won’t be back in this city for a couple of years, I swear!

Oh, wait, Peerless Show is probably also going to Lan-Lan Metropolis by then!

Darn.

Thinking of this, Museum Director Phoenix’s mood immediately sank.

...

That evening, Ree Shil arrived at the Card Club.

Show Director had contacted him at noon, but he hadn’t come.

No, it wasn’t because he was being a diva, but because the 9+1 card game with Museum Director Phoenix was really exhausting.

The intensity of just one game was even higher than the simultaneous 1v10 6+1 from before.
