Free Web NovelChapter 997: Chapter 362: The Monster Newcomer Makes an Entrance_2
"Manager Ke, what’s the story with this newcomer? Tell us about her."
At this moment, someone asked out of curiosity.
"Cough, cough, you wouldn’t believe it if I told you.
It took quite an effort to convince her to enter the competition."
Under everyone’s gaze, Keke Su cleared his throat and put on an air, "This lady was a player representing the Wind-listening District in the last City Competition.
Out of all the players from the other six districts, her performance was the best in the Wind-listening District.
To say she was the number one player in the Wind-listening District of that competition isn’t an exaggeration at all."
As soon as these words came out, there were various reactions from the crowd.
"Wow, that’s quite an impressive record."
"Sure takes some skill to make a name for yourself in the City Competition."
"I heard that last time’s competition wasn’t as significant because of the participation of reincarnations of gods, but even so, her strength must be beyond doubt."
"Come off it, even if it were you, you might not be able to make it into the representative team."
"Come on, Manager Ke, let’s see what grade this recruit of yours will be."
Now that Manager Ke had built up enough suspense, he began to take action under the urging of the crowd.
He picked up the microphone and spoke to the elf girl in the holographic projection, "Hey there, can you hear me? If you can, nod your head."
The girl in the image looked around without finding the source of the voice and then nodded.
"We need to conduct a system assessment on you now, don’t dodge when the light sweeps over you.
Don’t worry, it won’t reveal any of your personal privacy."
Upon hearing this, the girl nodded again.
Keke Su entered a few commands, and then a halo began to scan the elf girl from head to toe.
A few minutes later, the system had its results.
[Ding ding! Analysis complete...]
A panel appeared, under his control, unreservedly displayed before everyone’s eyes.
[Code name]: Princess Xinxin
[Win Rate]: B+
[Record]: A
[Card Deck]: B+
[Card Performance]: A-
[Overall Assessment]: A-
Whirr!
Along with the panel, a rich golden glow appeared.
"Wow! A level!"
"Manager Ke, you’ve struck gold!" freewebnσvel.cøm
"Getting an A rating from this system isn’t easy."
"Indeed, even if we were up, we might not get an A."
Even though the panel showed A-, to everyone present it was as if she had already stepped into the ranks of A level.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the panel showed only four simple evaluation factors; they’re not easy to achieve.
Firstly, the [Win Rate] category.
You have to understand, this reflects the record of historical card games.
Even though recent win rates carry more weight, early win rates are also taken into account.
Everyone starts as a newbie, where could your win rates go?
Furthermore, as card players get stronger, so too do their opponents. Just entering the mature phase doesn’t guarantee high win rates.
To talk about this win rate, the most direct way to get an excellent rating would probably be to persistently prey on newbies.
But who would be keen to waste time on such a foolish task?
So B+, is already a very high rating.
Among these Curators, it’s not uncommon to see C levels.
The [Record] category isn’t heavily related to the win rate.
This one could be seen as a card game score.
For example, if you’re Level 1 and you beat a Level 1 opponent, you get 1 point.
If you’re Level 1 and beat a Level 10 opponent, you get 10 points.
Of course, opponents aren’t necessarily tied to levels.
In short, the more games you win and the stronger the opponents you beat, the higher your [Record] will be.
Most of the Curator group members are the main operators of Card Clubs, with not much time for card games.
If we talk about the average historical record, it’s not really that good.
Mainly, not having many notable victorious games, their ratings are generally around B level.
Some Curators who are keen on battles, or who had some outstanding accomplishments in card games during their younger days, can make it to A level.
The [Card Deck] category focuses on the quantity and strength of the card decks.
This mainly involves an accumulation over time.
In this respect, the Curators have quite an advantage.
Most of them are seasoned card players, and even when busy, they hardly waste any Instance Cooldown Time.
No matter the difficulty level or completion rate of the Instance, the more you play, the larger and stronger your card deck naturally becomes.
Therefore, in this category, their ratings mainly fluctuate between A- and A+.
The last metric, "Card Performance," is somewhat similar to "Battle Results."
Its primary parameters are the brilliant maneuvers within the card game and the frequency and span of wins against stronger opponents.
It’s more about the card player’s Card Skill.
Card Skill involves both innate and learned factors.
As Curators with rich experience, they might not have many instances of winning against stronger opponents, but as Curators of the Seven Major Halls, Card Skill is one of their assessment criteria.
So they certainly can’t be said to have poor Card Skill.
In this category, the Curators are distributed roughly between B and A.
Given all the above, that’s why Princess Xinxin’s A- overall assessment is considered very high.
Because even for the Curators, their overall ratings are generally only between B and A.
"How about that, the player I’ve discovered is pretty good, right?"
At this time, Keke Su was also very satisfied with the result, "If in the later stages a few A or A+ level Curator teachers provide some guidance, maybe her proficiency could rise to A level."
It was impossible for Keke Su not to be proud.
After all, among all the players he had scouted, Princess Xinxin had the highest initial score.
"With this A-level player, you’re gonna be ’fishing’ during the newbie protection period, aren’t you?"
Someone beside him said half jokingly, half enviously at the moment.
The newbie protection period refers to a separate area for newly registered players in "King Manager."
In this area, they would only face opponents who are also in their newbie period.
For strong newbies, this is an excellent stage to easily farm League Credit Points and Score.
Although "King Manager" doesn’t offer any substantial rewards.
Players are provided with a small subsidy of Cube Coins and currently useless League Credit Points.
And for the Managers, even less so.
But the problem lies in the fact that this competition isn’t a purely internal one.
These Managers each belong to a Card Club.
Hence, the fight for supremacy, both overt and covert, within the seven major factions has intensified naturally.
What more could they desire at their stage?
Social status, prestige, assets, they lack none.
What they seek, naturally, is face!
And not just any face, but face within their own circle of peers of Curators!
It must be said that the Seven Major Halls’ move is indeed interesting, almost like getting something for nothing, they stimulated the Managers’ enthusiasm.
"Look, Manager Ke, how about you transfer this player to me?
I’ll pay you a transfer fee offline in return."
Clearly, someone was already smitten with Princess Xinxin.
"Hey, hey, hey! What’s with the boundary stepping, the people from the Wisdom District? Manager Ke is a manager of our Wind Chasing Region, if he’s going to transfer anyone’s talent, it should be to a manager under our Wind Chasing Region!"
"Not at all, not at all, this player is from the Wind-listening District, she should be transferred to our Wind-listening manager."
"Enough, I come from the Balance District where fairness has always reigned supreme, let me speak a fair word then.
Manager Ke, please let her transfer to my side."
"Go to hell, it’s your Balance District that’s the underhanded one!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Is this a regional attack, huh?"
For a moment, those gathered around seemed to become more and more heated.
"Alright, enough fighting!"
Eventually, Keke Su couldn’t help but raise his voice and shout.
He admitted that he had indeed carried out numerous player transfers before, reaping quite a few benefits from them.
But this time it was different; Princess Xinxin was the strongest newcomer he had ever discovered.
He was determined that this time he would properly cultivate her talent.
However, once the room fell silent, just as Keke Su was about to speak with righteous indignation,
suddenly, an out-of-place, bizarre cheer came from a corner of the Grand Hall.
"Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo, woohoo, woohoo!"
The crowd looked towards the source of the noise and saw a panel glowing with rainbow light.
