Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 55: Chapter 26: Do you know how to play cards?_2

"Not bad, definitely a talent."

Show Director smiled, her eyes flashing with a hint of envy.

She had a dream, to revitalize their Card Club.

Talent, of course, was an indispensable element in the revitalization process.

Unfortunately, the fame of their Club is too small, and good seedlings have gone to those big clubs, and they haven’t caught any for the past few years.

"Director, it’s time for my game."

"I’d like to go down and get ready."

At this point, Jason Hou said to Director Thompson.

"Alright, go ahead."

"But since Show Director is here today, you can show her your skills."

"It’s also a good opportunity for her to help critique."

Director Thompson’s smile made the two from Showcase Club feel uneasy.

What kind of critique is this? Doesn’t he just want to show off in front of them?

"Alright, Director."

Jason Hou, who had just turned around, stopped, turned back and said, "5 rounds."

"I will end the battle within 5 rounds."

He held out his palm.

The young boy’s confidence was on full display at this time.

"Sigh..."

As Show Director watched the young boy’s figure walk down the audience seats, she secretly sighed.

When would their Club have such outstanding students?

Soon, Jason Hou arrived at the designated card table.

Buzz...

A Blue Light Barrier enveloped the two players.

This was a specially treated barrier, where the sound inside could be transmitted out, but the sound outside could not be transmitted in, to prevent outside pointing.

"Well, Jason’s opponent seems to be very young too."

In the audience seats, Director Thompson folded his arms.

Their card table was right next to the railing, so they could see everything clearly.

"Huh?"

But when Secretary Brown saw the person opposite Jason, his face suddenly became weird.

"Um... Director, Jason’s opponent is from our Club."

He spoke hesitantly.

"Your student?"

Director Thompson was surprised at first, but then laughed, "Show Director, I’m so sorry."

"There aren’t many students from your Club participating in the competition this year. What a pity."

"It’s only the first round, and they’ll be sent home by our Jason."

"If I had known it was one of yours, I would have asked him to be more merciful."

"So as not to lose face and hurt the relationship between the two clubs."

The more he spoke, the brighter his smile.’

He originally just wanted to show off a little, but who knew he would end up showing off straight into someone else’s face.

It was all about fate.

"..."

Show Director remained silent, her face naturally looking a bit uncomfortable.

"No, he’s not our student."

"He’s a coach."

Secretary Brown shook his head.

"Coach?" x2

Both directors were taken aback.

"Secretary Brown, are you kidding? There’s no way there’s a coach that young."

Director Thompson didn’t believe it.

"Little Brown, who did you recruit when I wasn’t around?"

"Is this guy capable enough to be a coach when he’s participating in a newcomer competition?"

Show Director frowned and scolded.

"..."

Secretary Brown didn’t know what to say.

Although Coach Shil was young, his card skills were top-notch.

Honestly, he felt that even if Show Director played herself, she wouldn’t be able to beat him.

However, he heard that the other party had just become a card player a few days ago.

His card deck was probably weak, and even if his skills were good, it would be useless.

After all, this is a real card table, a huge deck difference can bridge the gap in skills.

So Secretary Brown scratched his nose and didn’t say anything more.

Seeing his reaction, Director Thompson thought it seems the opponent is not lying.

But even so, as he said just now, Jason’s card skills are no worse than those of an ordinary coach.

Furthermore, wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to win against Showcase Club’s coach rather than a student? ƒrēewebnovel.com

With that thought, he became more and more excited.

In front of the card table, the two stood facing each other. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Unlike the good behavior in front of the director, Jason at this time seemed slightly proud and aloof.

The director is watching from the side, he must win beautifully.

Hum!

As both sides’ decks of cards were laid out, a stream of light swirled and flowed on the card table.

The card game officially began.

Without saying a word, Jason Hou began by revealing one of his own cards.

As the card was flipped over, a unique stream of smoke surged.

[Death Approaching...]

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing a man sitting cross-legged.

He had white hair and beard, with wrinkled skin and age spots.

Eyes closed, he wore an old-fashioned training suit.

At this point, he sat on the ground giving off an impression like a mountain.

However, it seemed that the mountain was about to collapse.

The old man’s face was pale, showing no signs of blood.

[Old Sect Leader]

Balance, 50 points, D

Attack 0, 100/100

[Pass it on-Passive]: Old Sect Leader’s attack power -50, when revealing the card, you can choose a human-shaped card to increase their attack power +50 this round

What caught the eye first was the high score of 50 points.

This was the first time Ree Shil had encountered such a high-scoring card in a real card table.

In an instant, he understood the other party’s tactical intentions.

Burst Speed Strategy: A tactic relying on an explosive opening.

In a 4+1 card game, the upper limit for points is only 150 points.

A 50-point card isn’t really suitable for this type of game.

It is now apparent that this [Old Sect Leader] card is an auxiliary card.

The real trump card should be another card, which made him curious.

This curiosity was immediately answered as Jason Hou revealed his second card.

[Kill Kill Kill!]

A fierce-looking projection of a muscular man wielding a large blade jumped out of the card.

The clothes he wore seemed to be of the same style as the [Old Sect Leader] card.

Although the action round hadn’t started yet, the Old Sect Leader could be seen pushing both hands forward.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose on the card table, and a dense cloud of smoke erupted from the old man’s palms.

The smoke swirled into a vortex above the card table and then immersed into the muscular man’s forehead.

[Ugh...Kill!]

The muscular man immediately let out a howl.

[Crazy Apprentice]

Breaking force, 50 points, C

Attack 50+50, 100/100, 0/4

[Gratitude-Passive]: Crazy Apprentice ignores [Defense] when receiving buffs from Old Sect Leader this round

[Killing Intent-Passive]: If Crazy Apprentice participated in a kill this round, he can attack an additional target this round

"This is..."

Show Director frowned: "Linkage Card."

Linkage card refers to a specific connection between certain cards.

For example, right now the [Crazy Apprentice] has received additional bonuses.

"Moreover, it’s a 100-point linkage card."

Secretary Brown looked serious: "Director Thompson, your student is so lucky to draw two cards like that."

"Not at all, not at all, 1 D+1 C, trash cards, just two trash cards."

Director Thompson waved his hand humbly.

(What a showoff.)

Show Director couldn’t help feeling annoyed.

Such a level of cards isn’t considered trash at all to them.

And especially in a newcomer competition."

A 100-point attack that ignores [Defense], a preset attack path that as long as it kills the first card can attack the second card.

Kill the second card and attack the third card...

Kill the third card, it will be the fourth card’s turn...

Theoretically, as long as the conditions are met, all the opponent’s regular cards can be wiped out in just one round."

No wonder he dared to say he’d defeat his opponent within five rounds. And that’s not even mentioning the existence of a King Card, which wouldn’t even take that long.

"Director Thompson, your students are out of line."

Secretary Brown didn’t know what else to say, giving him a thumbs up.

Such a powerful deck isn’t something a student should have.

"You can’t say that, Secretary Brown."

"It’s obviously our Card Club’s excellent teaching."

Although Director Thompson seemed to be refuting the accusation, he was actually flaunting it.

However, it was at this moment that Ree Shil’s voice came from within the Blue Light Barrier, as if following up on his words.

"Who taught you how to play cards like this?"

"Do you know how to play cards?"
