Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 648: Chapter 230: Becoming a Member Against the Gods_3

"The contract you’re looking at now is exclusive to us at the Lan-Lan Balance Card Hall."

"If you can secure a good enough ranking in our Lan-Lan district tournament..."

"Then you can upgrade this contract to one from the headquarters."

"Of course,"

"Your first step is to stand out in this afternoon’s card games and secure your spot in the Lan-Lan city."

"Are you confident you can do that?"

At this point, Museum Director Phoenix stared intently at Ree Shil’s eyes.

Implied within his words, was another question.

In his view, the afternoon’s game was a 12 to 6 elimination.

Of the other eleven contestants, only Henry Thompson is a competitor Ree Shil should consider.

The probability of Ree Shil facing Henry Thompson is 9%.

So the underlying question here is, is Ree Shil confident about defeating Henry Thompson?

"Of course."

Ree Shil gave a shrug.

"Very good, just as I said earlier,"

"I see great potential in you."

Museum Director Phoenix nodded in approval and tossed over a few items. "Then, you should take these."

"What is this...?"

Ree Shil caught them for a look.

It was unmistakenly two material cards and a scroll.

"This is a Scene Card Recipe Scroll that I personally bought just for you."

"Consider it an advance for signing a contract with us. If you continue to advance in the games this afternoon, we’ll immediately sign the contract."

Museum Director Phoenix winked.

"Err, aren’t you afraid I’ll go back on my word, Director Phoenix?"

"Hehe, I’m not so skeptical about the person Peerless Show and Wembley Brown have their eyes on."

Hearing him say this, Ree Shil looked at the scroll in his hand and immersed his mind into it.

Whoa!

No wonder Phoenix said this was handpicked for him.

When he previewed the two closely compatible B-rank material cards in conjunction with the recipe scroll, he got the result immediately.

A real treasure. Definitely a precious find!

The projection of this scene card was a massive monument.

The monument was covered densely with numerous rows of texts.

And each text was written in a different script.

It looked epic to the viewers.

[Martial Arts Monument]

Scene, D

[Bloodline Inheritance]: For every 3 regular Kung Fu cards, increase Attack Power of Kung Fu King Card by 5.

(Note: thanks to designer [Shadow Clan] for the concept idea).

The effect of this Scene card has significantly boosted his entire Kung Fu deck.

In the 6+1 card group, it could add most 10 points of Attack Power to the King card.

In the 9+1 card group, it could add up to 15 points.

Don’t underestimate this meagre 10 or 15 points of Attack Power.

It’s crucial for the King Card.

Remember that his [Marshal Tower Master] already has 40 points of Attack Power, it would take him five rounds to defeat a 200-blood ace.

However, if he gains a boost of 10 points in Attack Power, he’d only need four rounds.

A one round difference is usually the key to victory!

And remember, [Marshal Tower Master] is a self-revealing king card.

It doesn’t have to wait to cash in on the Attack Power boost during a face-off, it could come into play earlier!

Even in the case of encountering some special situation where the king card is not [Marshal Tower Master] but other Kung Fu cards, this [Martial Arts Monument] can still bring a strong blessing.

You have to admit, Museum Director Phoenix has indeed given him a big gift.

Ree Shil estimated that these two B-rank material cards + recipe scroll would be worth between 40,000 and 50,000 cube coins.

Fun fact, the older the gentleman, the more adorable he looks.

"Thanks a lot, Director Phoenix. But it would be better to hand this over to me tonight."

Even if he was longing to keep them, he still had to give them back.

You could take the items, but not right now.

"... Fine."

Museum Director Phoenix gave Ree Shil a deep look.

Thought to himself that he definitely did not misjudge him.

What did he mean by giving him the items tonight?

The implication was that Ree Shil was 100% confident that he would win this afternoon’s game.

After bidding farewell to Museum Director Phoenix, Ree Shil went to the Contestant Lounge for a nap.

Then, in a full spirit, he waited for the afternoon match of 12 to 6 elimination to begin.

It was the same contestant seat, only this time there were 12 people instead of 24 in the morning.

As soon as it was time for the match, Rose Cooper’s voice filled the entire arena.

[Greetings, everybody, good afternoon!]

[Finally, the final match that everybody has been anticipating has begun!]

[This afternoon, we will determine the six contestants representing our city!] ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

[Before we start drawing lots, let me reintroduce today’s guest commentators for the audience members who couldn’t make it this morning.]

[Let’s welcome from Lan-Lan... Museum Director Phoenix!]

[He will be our guest commentator for this afternoon’s grand finals, providing live commentary alongside me.]

[Welcome!]

[Hehe, hello to all old and new friends, I’m Museum Director Phoenix from Lan-Lan Balance Card Hall.]

While the venue was being prepared, the two commentators started their chat.

Rose Cooper: [I believe Museum Director Phoenix, after watching our 24 to 12 elimination this morning, has already got an understanding of the contestants.]

Rose Cooper: [Could you please make a prediction on which six contestants could ultimately advance?]

Museum Director Phoenix: [Hahaha, directly predicting six contestants? That might not be ideal.]

Museum Director Phoenix: [It feels a little unfair to the other six that weren’t chosen.]

Museum Director Phoenix: [Moreover, the ultimate six to advance mainly depends on the results of drawing lots, doesn’t it?]

Rose Cooper: [Museum Director Phoenix has a point(Old Fox), then let’s rephrase the question.]

Rose Cooper: [Is there any contestant you particularly fancy?]

Museum Director Phoenix: [Favorable contestants? Of course, there are.]

Museum Director Phoenix: [In this case, I will just name three.]

Rose Cooper: [Oh? They are...?]

Museum Director Phoenix: [Ree, Wong, and Qing, these three.]

Rose Cooper: [Huh? Museum Director Phoenix, does your order imply that you’re putting Coach Shil on top?]

Museum Director Phoenix: [Ahahaha, it’s a coincidence, a mere coincidence.]

While Museum Director Phoenix was having fun with Rose Cooper, Henry Thompson on the field had finished drawing lots.

When he revealed the result, both commentators saw it.

Rose Cooper: [Wow!]

Museum Director Phoenix: [Oh my!]
