Chapter 664: Chapter 236: The First B-Class Scene Card
However, A-level Material Cards are expensive and rare, so the Association’s card repository doesn’t store too many of them.
In these Material Cards, Ree Shil couldn’t find a single one that would provide immediate successful results.
So, he chose an A-level Material Card that seemed to have promising future potential.
There was one main reason for choosing it.
It’s because since deciding to build a summoning card deck, his deck has only had a few summoned cards and hasn’t taken shape yet.
But the card game with Old Thompson in the afternoon gave him some significant insights.
More specifically, it was the [Golden Carved Lotus].
[Golden Lotus Punishment - Passive]: When a 2nd Grade Summoning Card is played, the Golden Carved Lotus immediately deals 30 points of True Damage to it
This card might be something Old Thompson added after guessing that Ree Shil would use [Malicious Puppet] and seeing the [Frog Soldier].
Ree Shil himself has a similar card in his hand.
[Demon-Slaying Puppet]
Balance, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100 freewebnσvel.cøm
[Paper Master - Passive]: When the Demon-Slaying Puppet attacks a Demon Card, its Attack Power +10
[Little Demon Slayer - Passive]: When the Demon-Slaying Puppet attacks a 2nd Grade Summoned Demon Card, its Attack Power +20
[First Strike Charm - Passive]: After the Demon-Slaying Puppet reveals its card, when the opponent unveils a Demon Card, the card immediately loses 10 Health Points
Originally, [Demon-Slaying Puppet] targeted only 2nd Grade Summoned Demon Cards, so its coverage area wasn’t very wide. freewebnσvel.cѳm
However, the appearance of [Golden Carved Lotus] set off an alarm for him.
This similar mechanism is an absolute counter for summoning card decks.
Moreover, it only takes one card to counter an entire summoning card deck.
(Patch note: Due to the general 30-point Health Points of 2nd Grade Summoning Cards being too strong, they require 60 Attack Power to be killed under [Defense] condition, which affects the game’s balance.
Therefore, a great divine deity made the following decision:
In the future, depending on the situation, adjustments will be made to the maximum Health Points, summoning conditions, and the strength of main cards of summoning cards to a certain extent.
The adjustment range includes the summoning cards already in Ree Shil’s possession.
At the same time, the power of cards that counter summoning cards will also be adjusted to a certain extent.)
"By common sense, every player in the City Competition should be at least at Old Thompson’s level."
"Oh, no. That’s not right."
"If Old Thompson didn’t meet me, he would have actually advanced."
Henry Thompson: Enough, don’t keep whipping a dead horse.
"Let’s set the advancing level to be at Flat Orange and Greenfeather’s tier."
"To be honest, in their 9+1 card deck of 31 cards and 21 replacement cards, they should have at least 5 or 6 targeted counter cards."
"And among these 5 or 6 targeted counter cards, there may be 1 card specifically against summoning."
"Of course, they might not have 1 single counter-summoning card, or maybe they have more than 1, but considering the limited number of cards, they can at most have 1."
"But even if there’s only 1 counter-summoning card, it’ll still have a huge impact on the summoning card deck."
"The shield-bearer tactic of the summoning card deck is cool, but it’s extremely difficult when being countered."
"Perhaps because of the chain reaction caused by this 1 counter-summoning card, the summoning card deck will be defeated."
"Another tactic to counter the summoning card deck that I’ve used before is summoning occupation."
"As well as summoning counter-charge, big scores eating small scores, and so on."
"So, how can we protect the summoning card deck from being countered to some extent when playing it?"
Ree Shil looked at the A-level Material Card in his hand.
This was the answer he came up with.
A projection of the card showed a floating, blood-red, translucent gem.
The shape of the gem was also quite peculiar, like a whirlpool.
Ree Shil had only seen a similar shape on teleportation portals before.
[Top-grade Dimensional Demon Enhancement Stone]: Has a certain chance to increase the strength of Demon Class 2nd Grade Summoning Cards
The enhancement methods for summoning class cards’ 2nd Grade Summonings are different from transformation cards/derivative cards.
Ree Shil didn’t delve into it for the time being, only knowing that overall, enhancing 2nd Grade Summoning Cards wasn’t as sophisticated as with transformation cards/derivative cards.
However, it’s certain that enhancing these would be more difficult than enhancing general main cards.
And this material card is actually a rarer type among Material Cards.
It specifically stated that it could increase the strength of 2nd Grade Summoning Cards, making it a material specifically for 2nd Grade Summoning Cards.
Ree Shil’s answer came from Boss N’s [Machine N] that day.
Of course, he didn’t want to create a 2nd Grade Summoning Card with such exaggerated strength but a high summoning cost.
However, if the strength of a 2nd Grade Summoning Card could be similar to a regular 30-point average card, that would be great.
At least with dozens or even hundreds of Health Points, they wouldn’t be instantly killed by counter-summoning cards like [Golden Carved Lotus] when they come on stage.
"I’ll wait and see later. I don’t have any demon summoning cards yet."
Ree Shil put away the [Top-grade Dimensional Demon Enhancement Stone] and took out the personal gift from Museum Director Phoenix.
He had signed that contract.
Before signing, Ree Shil also asked Show Director for his opinion.
As a result, the Show Director asked him to consult Secretary Brown.
Secretary Brown said it was fine and asked him to check with the Show Director again.
After learning Secretary Brown’s approval, the Show Director also said it was OK.
After a few back-and-forths, Ree Shil felt slightly annoyed.
Luckily his mood was good today, so he didn’t mind it. Happy!
