Sorry, I don't play poker with luck

So the blind swordsman and the golden dragon entered their respective abyss and black holes.

In the black hole, Shi Li didn't know what was happening and couldn't see it.

Anyway, after a few minutes, a golden light burst out at the entrance of the cave.

【Roar! ! ! 】

The five-clawed golden dragon rushed out from inside with bruises all over its body.

"This……"

He didn't expect that the abyss inside would be so dangerous.

Isn’t it easy to break through even S-level followers?

"Hey, there was a slight mistake, and my follower was killed in battle."

After half a minute, Tingfeng Messenger said again.

This third level was passed by Tokidachi in a daze.

He began to wonder if the messenger was causing trouble.

I always feel that whether I am chasing the wind or listening to the wind messenger, it gives me a somewhat intimate feeling.

But it turned out that he thought too much.

Level 4, Daoshan Pass.

The entourage was asked to search for the only famous sword among the mountains composed of tens of millions of knives.

In this level, there is also time to scale.

1 minute in the display and 1 year in the scene.

Then he immediately looked at the follower of Tingfeng Messenger and spent 10 years finally finding the correct answer.

And the sweeping monks he sent out didn't even search half of Daoshan.

In the end, he was defeated at this level.

In fact, if [Pseudo Saint] were deployed in this level, it would probably be easy to complete with its piercing eyes.

On his third challenge, Tokidachi was defeated after only 3 levels.

The first level is the Fire Customs, which requires followers to capture a fire koi in an ocean made of lava.

He sent out a five-clawed golden dragon, which relied on the golden light to break through the lava as easily as flying.

The messenger sent by Tingfeng was a unicorn-arm robot.

Once it hit the sea of ​​​​fire, it melted directly.

It seems to be Tian Ji's horse racing strategy again.

Shi Li seriously suspected that the only use of this robot might be for arm wrestling.

The second level is Tingshui Pass.

This level is more or less like listening to the wind.

No, it should be said that the smell is very strong.

The content is to place ten thousand cups with different levels of water filling.

Find the only correct answer by tapping the tone of the sound.

The correct answer can only be heard once before the official start, and among these thousands of water glasses, some of the water volumes are extremely close to the correct answer.

Shi Li suspected that even the legendary absolute pitch would be extremely prone to making mistakes in the face of this difficult problem.

What's more, even if there is no error in the identification, if there are 10,000 water glasses, you may have forgotten what the correct answer is by the thousandth time.

At this level, he sent [Master Fahai].

Then the entourage sent by Tingfeng Messenger turned out to be an expert among experts.

The blind swordsman.

Everyone knows that a blind man's hearing is particularly acute.

What's more, this should be an S-level follower.

At the beginning of the level, the opponent resorted to what Toki thought was cheating.

Directly use the sword energy to stir up the 10,000 water glasses present at the same time.

It can be said that he is very cool.

But the result was unsatisfactory. It can be said that the blind swordsman was in vain.

The sounds made by ten thousand water glasses at the same time were too complicated, and he actually chose the wrong answer.

The first party to find the correct answer is the winner.

If the answer is submitted first but is wrong, the other person wins.

So Fa Hai, the big bald man, won the victory inexplicably.

In order to worry about Tingfeng Messenger's face, Shi Li really suppressed his laughter and felt a little uncomfortable.

Level 3, taste level.

Nearly a thousand condiments were placed in front of the entourage, allowing them to taste them one by one.

After tasting, a pot of devilish dishes is served.

The kind that allows followers to taste unlimited food, and then add more if they don’t have enough.

But it is required to name all the seasonings used in it at once.

It was the fairy sent by Tingfeng Messenger.

The one sent immediately was the sweeping monk.

Just after tasting various condiments, the expressions on the faces of the two attendants were enough to describe a journey of life.

And it was accompanied by vomiting in turns.

When they tasted the main course, the two attendants fainted at the same time after taking the first bite.

According to this situation, the two sides finally decided to draw.

Judging from Tingfeng Messenger's face, she must have known that this level was set up unreasonably.

However, according to the rules, Tokidachi did not win, so this round was considered his failure.

After finally running out of three opportunities and seeing all kinds of weird challenges, he was expelled from the dungeon.

"None of these challenges are normal at all, so it seems I have to take some unusual paths."

He had some ideas in his mind, but unfortunately it would take ten days to realize them.

A new round of regional competition will begin soon.

This time, a normal competition format finally appeared.

Each of the 6 representative teams has 3 players and plays a normal 9+1 card game.

The format of the game is a best-of-three game system.

Then lots will be drawn and the top 8 will be played.

If 6 teams compete in the top 8, then naturally two teams will have a bye.

Then 4 of the remaining 2 teams will advance to the top four.

The two losing teams compete again to determine the 5th and 6th place.

4强也是如此，赢的2支决出1、2名，输的2支决出3、4名。

As for which two teams received a bye, the organizers' decision was a bit surprising.

It’s not a matter of luck or destiny.

Instead, the two teams currently ranked 5th and 6th in total will be given a bye.

It can be regarded as a kind of care for poor grades.

These two teams are the chasing team and the determined team.

Then the remaining 4 teams will draw lots.

The remaining teams are the Balanced Team, the Wisdom Team, the Violent Team, and the Tingfeng Team.

Among them, the teams that are most unwilling to be encountered by other teams are naturally the balanced team and the wise team.

Then the result of the draw went as expected. The balanced team and the wise team were drawn on different sides.

After the top four are decided, the two sides will draw lots again.

The opponent of the balanced team is the Tingfeng team.

Before the game started, they were known as the top three teams because they had S-level cards.

It's just that the follow-up is weak, and now it has been overtaken by the violent representative team.

In a normal poker game, there is naturally nothing much to say.

Shi Li took their side and arranged them according to the order within the team.

He, Xiaoshiren, and the third person in the team.

Now I can no longer tell who is who, they are all called Wang Defa.

Simply call him No. 3 Wang Defa.

On the day of the game, the three were transported to the arena on time.

[Balance representative team, I hope both of us can contribute a wonderful game. 】

The two sides stood still, and the greetings of the Tingfeng representative team came from the opposite side. Perhaps because of the regional atmosphere, the Tingfeng team was not so aggressive.

I have seen the information about their team in Shili.

What is more eye-catching is that the player with S-level cards is not the first pick in the team.

But it's No. 2, which is very strange.

Before the game officially starts, there is a procedure to determine the order in which each team will play.

"What should I say, which one of us will win this match?"

In the area where the players are waiting for battle, Xiaoshiren looks at his two teammates.

"Tian Ji races a horse."

Shi Li told what he had learned from Tingfeng Messenger a few days ago.

最好就是他们的1号打对面的2号，2号打对面的3号，3号打对面的1号。

"But we don't know the opponent's playing order, how should we deal with it?"

Wang Defa asked on the 3rd.

"..."

Shi Li glanced at the other party and said again: "Tian Ji is racing."

"In fact, the opponent has no way of knowing our order."

The little eyelash person put forward his own suggestion: "According to common sense, 123 or 321 is a more common order.

But the problem is that the strength of the opponent's No. 2 and No. 1 is a bit confusing.

I have been studying the information provided by the logistics team these days.

In fact, from the beginning of the representative qualifying rounds to the past ten rounds of the regional competition, the number 1 of the Tingfeng representative team has never performed better than the number 2.

So it’s really hard to say whether No. 1 is better than No. 2.

I don’t know how they are ranked internally. "

In the end, after some discussion, the three of them temporarily arranged the order.

Those who are not playing can change the order at any time, so the most important thing now is who to send first.

The one they sent here was the little eyelash man.

So far, Toki's performance on the court can be said to be transcendent.

In fact, without him, Xiaojiren should be the undisputed No. 1 pick of the Balanced Team.

In other words, this player already has the ability to be the leader of the representative team, but he just met Tokidachi.

As a result, the No. 2 pick was the first to appear, and he met the No. 1 pick on the opposite side.

Then in this game, the opponent's chief showed why he was able to defeat No. 2, who had an S-level card, with all A cards.

But few people may see this.

Tokidachi is one of them.

He could clearly feel that this No. 1 was hiding his strength.

The other party's predictions are as if they were pre-judged, and they are accurate every time.

But this is only used to establish an advantage in the early stages of the game.

After the advantage was determined, the opponent began to make moves without leaving any trace.

Anyway, it is always a small advantage to win in the end.

At this moment, Shi Li finally understood why the other party's intelligence evaluation was not high.

Because they all seemed to be narrow or small wins.

But he always had the feeling that the entire game was under the opponent's control.

In this regard, he deliberately paid attention to the other party's code name.

It’s called [What are you looking at?], a very strange code name.

For the best of 3 sets, Xiaojiren only lost 2 game, and the balanced representative was on the edge.

As long as you lose one more game, you will be eliminated in this round.

However, after another discussion, Toki Li chose to trust his teammates.

The second player they sent was No. 2 Wang Defa.

In fact, it doesn't make much sense who goes up first and who goes up last.

Because no matter the order, you need to win all the remaining games to advance.

The other side seemed to want Tian Ji to play horse racing, and sent the third-ranked player.

As a result, he met Wang Defa No. 3, and the plan failed.

No. 3 Wang Defa's personal characteristics in this game are more obvious. His main focus is a set of quick attacks that turn into sustain.

Start with a burst attack to create an opening on the card table.

Then if you establish an advantage, continue your attack.

If you are at a disadvantage or tied, you will switch to using the open space on the field to play an explosive summoning flow.

In the end, they won with a clear advantage.

So in this way, Tokidachi's opponent is decided.

That is, the No. 2 pick of the Tingfeng representative team who has an S-level card.

Whoever wins will advance to the next round.

The opponent's S-level cards have been displayed before.

That was a card that even Tokidachi was envious of.

Its projection is a floating old man that is almost void.

【Time Enlightenment】

Tingfeng, 30 minutes, S

攻0，200/200，0/10

[Wu Zheng-Passive]: The Time Enlightenment cannot [Attack] and [Defend]

[Self-cultivation-Passive]: Time Enlightenment's attack power -30, maximum health +100

[Enlightenment-Passive]: One turn of the Time Enlightenment is equal to 1 turns

[Evangelist-Passive]: When the Enlightenment of Time exits the field, an unveiling card with a score of no more than 1 points will gain an additional entry of the Enlightenment of Time in this game.

[Dedicating the Way - 10 points of energy]: The Time Enlightenment will exit the field, and an unveiling card with a score of no more than 1 points will gain an additional Time Enlightenment entry in this game.

(Note: Thanks to the designer [Book Friends 20230107012833328], this card has a balance correction)

This card is very similar to his [Time Demon Dragon].

Then there is an excellent S-level support card.

In fact, it has only one function, which is to change the 1 turn of your own card into 2 turns.

For these three cards, Listening to the Wind, Chasing the Wind and Breaking the Potential, the increase in rounds can not only double the output, but also bring about the possibility of doubling the energy recovery.

The key is that the two terms [Preaching] and [Martyrdom] can act on different objects respectively.

That is, [offer the Tao] to card A, so that it can obtain [Enlightenment].

Then pass [Pass to] to card B, so that it can also obtain [Enlightenment].

In this way, it is almost equivalent to sacrificing 1 card of [Time Enlightenment], giving oneself 2 more cards.

You earn 1 card for nothing in the middle, not to mention the self-amplification you can get from the benefited cards.

For example, if [Kung Fu Goat God] gets [Enlightenment], then it can directly play [Retire] twice in one round. Isn't this invincible?

There is also [Five-clawed Golden Dragon], which can complete two inescapable controls every round, which is amazing.

Of course, the skill [Preaching] theoretically does not just allow the target card to learn the skill [Enlightenment].

The key is that these entries of [Time Enlightenment Person] have nothing to use except [Enlightenment].

[Wuzheng] is a completely useless entry.

[Slimming] can be used as a human shield.

However, [Time Enlightenment] requires 5 rounds of the actual card table to charge. In such a high-end game, by the time it is fully charged, the human shield will probably be almost dead.

On the other hand, the two terms [Preaching] and [Dedicating the Way] can actually be inherited.

Shi Li has also seen the other party use it this way in cases.

It's roughly a method of A→B→C.

For example, [Time Enlightenment] lets [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] choose one of its own skills.

[Five-clawed Golden Dragon] chose [Preaching] or [Dedicated].

Then [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] uses his [Domineering-Passive]: The effects caused by the Five-clawed Golden Dragon cannot be immune to

Pass it to [Kung Fu Goat God] so that it will no longer be afraid of [Coating].

This method is feasible.

It’s just that it’s too cumbersome to operate.

It also involves issues such as whether card B has enough energy limit of 10 points and whether it can exit the game in time.

It can make the tactics more versatile, but it is not as practical as directly delivering [Enlightenment].

Anyway, Tokidachi is not afraid of this card.

It's easy to crack it.

……

Sorry, I'm late.

Busy business. (End of chapter)
