Free Web NovelChapter 736: Chapter 260: This Is Not the Place I Imagined
Amidst the cheering of the audience, Ree Shil and Samuel Chess walked toward the contestant seats.
"Why are you so strong in Instances and also so powerful at the Card table?"
Samuel Chess complained with a bitter smile.
"Isn’t it possible that I’m just that level of card player?"
"Don’t worry, you’re not bad either."
Based on Ree Shil’s experience from watching the previous eight groups, he judged that Samuel Chess had a high probability of getting second place in the group just by depending on the strength of this Chess Card Group.
If he couldn’t even get that, his own first place might be in jeopardy.
"There’s just one problem, your Chess Card Group is too fixed."
"I believe after this game, as soon as you reveal the first [Pawn Chess], others will be able to judge what you are going to reveal next."
"This problem, is there no way to solve it?"
He kindly offered his suggestion.
"Well...hehehe."
Unexpectedly, Samuel Chess laughed when he heard this.
"I don’t know if you’ve ever really encountered Chess."
"In Chess, there are two sides, red and black."
"Although the chess pieces for both sides are the same, their names are different."
"In red chess, there are general/advisor/elephant/horse/chariot/cannon/pawn."
"In black chess, there are general/soldier/elephant/horse/chariot/cannon/pawn."
As he said this, the smile on his face was quite mysterious.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Ree Shil seemed to understand.
Just now, he had used a mixture of red and black chess pieces, wasn’t that a mix-match?
Was this young lad hiding another Chess Card Group?
He thought about it, it wasn’t unreasonable for others to hide card groups as well.
Afterward, Samuel Chess didn’t hesitate and directly introduced his Card player’s talent to him.
It turned out that his Card player’s talent was [Chess Card].
By completing certain designated missions, he could obtain and upgrade reinforcement, and later modify the Chess Card Group to some extent.
"I knew it, no wonder you could have such a complete Series Card."
Hearing this, Ree Shil finally understood. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Although Samuel Chess didn’t say it explicitly, he heard that this guy might not have two complete Chess Card Groups yet.
The two of them were talking and had already returned to the contestant seats.
Others like Greenfeather Flat Orange also gathered around.
Everyone was excitedly discussing the previous card game, not knowing that in another corner of the contestant seats, Big Brother Brown was still staring at Ree Shil.
Then, the second battle of the Ninth Group began.
This may have been the second game, but it was the first for both players.
As such, they both went full force, each bringing out their strongest card decks.
All in all, Ree Shil thought their proficiency was quite good.
Both their card skills and card decks were on par with the average of the card players who had taken the stage so far.
But with merely this level, they definitely wouldn’t be able to beat Samuel Chess’s Chess Card Group from earlier.
As for himself, he could win against them using just a scattered card combination.
It’s worth noting that Ree Shil’s scattered card combinations were not weak.
After all, before his series card group formed or became a system, he had been playing with scattered card decks.
This was an absolute entry-level process for a newbie.
Strictly speaking, during his showdown with Samuel Chess just now, he had used 1 [Wind Fox] + 1 [Dual-stick Goblin], which could be considered a semi-sword card set up or even a scattered card deck.
A scattered card deck emphasizes high flexibility.
Although it cannot enjoy the effects of harmony and the benefits of the large-scale same tag, it’s also not easy to be targeted in a unified way.
On the contrary, it’s more likely to swap out counter cards from the substitute card group based on the reveal card shown by the other party.
Some experts, relying on their own deep experience, often play scattered card decks.
Show Director and Old Curator are good examples of this strategy, thanks to their extra draws from their card player talent.
In the following third game, Contestant 5 was up against Samuel Chess, Contestant 1.
Samuel Chess still used his Chess Card Group.
After all, it had already been revealed, and as long as he had confidence in winning, he would continue using it.
As expected, even though the other party knew his deck and tactics, they still couldn’t beat him.
After all, even with a fixed negative attribute and inability to change the card deck, it was still an all A-level deck.
Playing against ordinary players, it’s really not that difficult.
By the end of the second round of Samuel Chess, it was Ree Shil’s turn to face Contestant 3.
Inspired by Samuel Chess, Ree Shil wanted to fully follow the first game’s cards to avoid exposing other cards.
But the thing with Cube Card is that sometimes if A > B, B > C, A is not necessarily greater than C.
Contestant 3’s main card group was evidently crushed by the Chess Card Group but ended up fighting back and forth with Ree Shil.
In the end, he still forced him to change several cards before obtaining victory.
That’s how it went for the whole day, with Ree Shil and Samuel Chess both advancing.
Ree Shil won all four matches and advanced in first place.
Samuel Chess won three out of four matches and advanced in second place.
Their opponents in the first round of the elimination matches will be the second and first-place players from Group Ten.
Thus, they both need to pay close attention to and research tomorrow’s group matches.
Early the next morning, Ree Shil and Samuel Chess arrived at the racecourse on time.
Today’s contestant seats had fewer people than yesterday.
After all, some contestants had lost the motivation to continue after being eliminated.
However, some contestants would still attend with the mentality of learning or watching for fun.
