Sorry, I don't play poker with luck

The 3-minute countdown goes backwards by one second.

Although they cannot speak, many players have already started to take action.

Some looked very nervous, wandering around in a small area.

Some were calmer and found a suitable edge corner to observe everyone secretly.

Some are very indifferent or in a daze, just staying in place motionless, such as Shili.

Others are more strange.

The movements may seem chaotic, but actually there is a certain pattern hidden behind them.

There is an insect in nature that behaves very similar to this.

They lack the means of communication, so they can only convey information to their companions through the trajectory arc of certain characteristics of flight.

Obviously, some teams came up with clever ways when they were unable to communicate.

That is to show your identity through a pre-discussed action trajectory.

However, the other players present were not fools, and many quickly imitated various movement trajectories.

For a moment, the chaos in the ring turned into a pot of porridge.

A bunch of small light clusters were scurrying around like molecular motion.

Buzz! x36

As a result, there was a sudden flash of light, and all the players were randomly assigned a position.

Before they could react, they received a system prompt.

[Ding dong!

caution.

Any communication before the game begins will be considered cheating.

Once confirmed, the entire team will be immediately disqualified. 】

As soon as this message came out, everyone suddenly became quiet.

Almost no one dared to walk around anymore and just stayed in place without moving.

I am afraid that if someone is accidentally misunderstood, I will be conveyed my identity and will be directly judged as a loser.

So the countdown started again.

Although it was also silent, it didn't feel so quiet when everyone was moving.

In this atmosphere, the countdown suddenly became longer.

Watching the time passing second by second, finally, the countdown ended.

But in this atmosphere, everyone is very cautious.

Constantly looking at other players but taking no action.

This caution comes not only from being wary of unknown opponents, but also from the fear of hitting one's own teammates and causing a manslaughter.

In this case, the player who takes the first action is often likely to represent extreme self-confidence.

So whichever small light group moves first, the other small light groups around it will subconsciously move away from each other.

Maybe this confidence is a bluff, but no one is willing to take the initiative to give it a try.

As a result, a two-sided situation quickly emerged on the court.

One side was wandering around in the ring, while the other side was dodging intentionally or unintentionally.

Among them, those small light groups that were nestled in corners or at inconspicuous and remote edges have become the main targets of everyone's attacks.

Because compared to the small light group who dare to take the initiative, these players are the opposite.

Represents lack of confidence.

Without strength, you naturally lack confidence.

Of course, it is also possible to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

Tokidachi was one of those people who stayed still.

It’s not that he lacks confidence, nor is he trying to act like a pig or anything.

Just too lazy to move.

Under this format, there is no way to know who your opponent is before entering the game.

In this case, it makes no sense to be the active party or the passive party.

You don’t know who the other person is anyway.

As a result, a strange situation occurred.

Tokidachi's stillness made many passing players feel taboo.

He stayed like this for several minutes, and no one came to challenge him.

After a while, card table barriers were erected on the stage.

Shi Li counted and found that there were 17 of them.

In other words, now only myself and one other player are left on the field and have not entered the card game.

And through the gaps between several barriers, he could clearly see a small light group staying there quietly.

It was as if he was also looking at himself.

In an instant, the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

You must know that the format of this round does not matter who kills more enemies.

It's about who can stand in the ring longer.

Therefore, avoiding unnecessary battles is the best strategy.

There are 17 card games going on now.

In other words, if Shili and his opponent do not play cards, then they are basically guaranteed to be among the top 19.

But if we play poker now, one person will be in the top 18, and the other person may not be able to enter the 20th.

It is a win-win strategy to treat each other as if they can't see each other tacitly.

Unlike the players themselves, the audience outside the venue can actually see the code name of each small light group.

Especially for the Balance Team, the director also very thoughtfully marked the number of Wang Defa.

In the studio in Lanlan City, the two commentators were also paying attention to Shi Li's actions.

Sister Hunchback: [It seems that the two players are planning to stay put. 】

Director Feng: [It's a pity. It would be interesting to watch if they had a duel. 】

Sister Hunchback: [It has just begun. Player Ruixue is about to face No. 1 Wang Defa. This would be too cruel. 】

Yes, the audience was quite looking forward to it when it was just the two of them.

The first player on the balanced team faced off against the first player on the smart team.

Even if it is a simple 3+1 card game, this gimmick alone is attractive enough.

Unfortunately, the two sides quickly reached a tacit understanding and did not play cards.

Then there is a tacit understanding in the 17 ongoing card games.

In order to survive longer in the ring, most of them chose to play slow-paced poker games.

The so-called slow pace does not mean tactically slow.

Rather, in each operable stage of each round, try to delay the time limit to the end.

In this way, the poker game time can be relatively longer.

In the past, the 3+1 card game could be over in about 10 minutes or less.

As a result, Shi Zuzu waited for nearly 20 minutes this time, and the duel was not over yet.

Fortunately, he has experienced enemies like the God of Patience, and this is just a small scene.

At this moment, one of the 17 card tables.

Xiaoshiren looked at the cards in front of him and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

Because he recognized the opponent's card, the opponent turned out to be a teammate of the Balanced Team.

In this round of competition, meeting teammates is of course the worst outcome.

This is especially true for people with small eyelashes.

If he wins, he will further establish himself as the God of War in the Civil War.

If you lose, if you are not even the God of War in the Civil War, then you are nothing.

If you just drag out the round time limit, that's nothing.

However, if both sides deliberately play passively and do not attack to delay time, the rules of this round will be triggered and both players will be sent off.

Not to mention both sides, not even one side.

It feels like this rule is set up entirely for Hui Chun, otherwise once he gains an advantage, wouldn't he be able to rely on milk cards to last forever.

Just like that, I waited for almost 30 minutes.

The first card game was finally played.

hum…

The card table barrier gradually retracted, revealing only a small ball of light inside.

Seeing that besides himself, there were two light groups on the ring that had ended the battle, the player couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. But after counting the number of people present, he realized something was wrong and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Continuously, more and more winners appeared on the field.

Most of the remaining winners were relatively calm. When they saw the number of people on the field was wrong, they felt that this seemed to be a good tactic.

Under this competition system, the fewer battles the better, and it is better to not fight than to fight.

If you don’t fight, there is no risk of being eliminated.

However, there are also some people who are very confident in themselves, or have rough lines and don’t think too much about it.

As soon as they won, they immediately looked for new opponents to start the game.

There are still a dozen players left, all of whom are standing still.

"It seems I have to take action."

Looking at this scene, I immediately knew that I couldn't wait any longer.

If he continues to delay, it will eventually be detrimental to him.

Because I have no victory, others have 1 victory.

Sure enough, as soon as this idea came up, the organizer sent a new system message.

[Ding dong!

Please note that to prevent negative matches.

The player with the fewest wins will be automatically eliminated every 30 minutes.

Those tied for victory will be eliminated together.

The person who plays the game is not included in this list. 】

Sure enough, the organizers had long expected this situation.

This means that if you remain passive and do not play cards, you may be eliminated.

But if you are in a poker game, even if you are the player with the fewest wins currently, you will not be eliminated.

The best way is to take hedging in the game every time the 30-minute time comes.

Of course, starting a poker game inherently requires taking a risk.

As soon as this system prompt was sent, I saw Ruixue taking action on the other side.

She randomly found the nearest small light group and started the card game directly.

So he was not to be outdone and picked the nearest player.

hum!

The card table barrier immediately stood up, and blue light covered the card table.

Tokidachi had already prepared his deck, but he still put them all down before the last deadline.

Judging from the poker table, the opposite player is also the same.

Due to the rules, this round of poker does not even allow verbal communication.

The unveiling stage is coming, and both sides are waiting for the new time limit to approach before starting to unveil.

However, the other party may be afraid of timeout or lack of patience.

So after all, it is the party that is relatively first to unveil the cards.

[Rumble...]

The card on the opponent's left was revealed, and a heavy armored vehicle slowly drove out.

Seeing this card, Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he recognized it, at least it wasn't his teammate's card.

【Magical Wind Armor Car】

Wisdom, 30 points, B

攻30，100/100，3/3

[Heavy Armor-Passive]: When the magical armored vehicle is attacked by a foreign brand, 30 points of [Shield] will be activated.

[Heavy Armored Oppression-Passive]: The magical armored car causes the card directly in front to continuously gain 1 points of [Weakness]

[Vehicle explosion - 3 points of energy]: The magical wind-armored vehicle selects a target and makes it [exit] with itself.

Judging from this card, the opponent's tactics are basically clear.

They followed the route of a strong attack at the beginning.

However, the matching of the entries is not very good, it is still a B-level card with few entries.

The meaning of [Heavy Armor] is that if it is attacked by a foreign card, 30 points of [Shield] will appear.

When attacked by a foreign card, [Shield] is triggered.

When attacked by a wild card + a non-wild card, [Shield] is triggered.

Only when attacked by non-wild cards, [Shield] will not be triggered.

In the 3+1 deck, this entry is basically 100% triggered.

But [car body explosion] is somewhat conflicting with the other two entries.

Since you can take away other people's cards at the beginning, what's the use of the survival entry?

Let’s go back to the skill [Car Body Explosion], which is very similar to [Wild Fire Boy].

Each has its own pros and cons.

But overall, Tokidachi thinks [Wisp Boy] is more superior.

因为它可以打2个目标，再加上自己的本回合输出共30+60+60=150点伤害。

Now with this [Magical Wind Armor Car], you can feel that the players have put more thought into it.

The general meaning is that if the opponent's card has no value in taking away, then it will survive and play defensive counterattack.

If the opponent's card is obviously too strong, just take it away.

[Rumble...]

As a result, the opponent's card on the right was another identical [Magical Wind Armor Car].

"That's interesting."

In Toki's opinion, the difference between one self-destruction card and two self-destruction cards is huge.

[Supernatural power, invincible! 】

A man in a tight-fitting uniform walked out of the cards.

In addition to the tight-fitting uniform, he also wears a full-body simple mechanical exoskeleton.

There are many slot holes on the exoskeleton, which looks like a device that can be loaded and unloaded.

【Land Warfare Expert】

Wisdom, 30 points, A

攻30，100/100，3/1

[Expert-Passive]: The land warfare expert will gain an additional 2 points of energy when he unveils his card, and his health will be fully restored in the next round when using skills.

[Thunderstorm - 3 points of energy]: The land warfare expert adds a [stun] effect to the attack in this round. It can be used when there is no card on the left side of the companion.

[Weasel - 3 points of energy]: The land warfare expert gives himself the [Hegemony] effect in this game. He can use it when there is no card on the right side of the companion.

[Firepower - 3 points of energy]: The land warfare expert increases his own health limit by +50 and attack power by +20. He can use it when his companions have no cards.

3 Active skill cards are relatively rare.

[Expert] changes the energy limit of this card to 3/1, which is enough for it to release one skill.

But if you want to use charging cards to use three skills in a row, it is unrealistic.

Unless there are cards that can increase the energy limit, there are very few such cards.

As soon as this card was played, Shi Li fully understood the opponent's tactical intentions.

As far as the opponent's three cards are concerned, they can indeed be used together to achieve very flexible tactical changes.

The most direct tactic is that the [Magical Wind Armored Vehicles] on both sides take away a strong card from the opponent.

Then the [Land Combat Expert] who used [Firepower] turned into a numerical monster and challenged the opponent in a one-on-one duel.

"It's not bad, no wonder I can defeat one player.

It's really hard to deal with this changeable play style at the beginning. "

Shili gave the other party good recognition.

But he is not afraid of this combination.

Because the first row of cards on my side, from left to right, are...

【Cuckoo! 】

【Roar! 】

[Friendship first, discussion second. 】

[Pseudo Saint] + [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] + [Sneak Attack Master].

Debut.

As soon as these three cards are revealed, you can immediately see the movement of the small light group on the opposite side.

Because the two cards [False Saint] and [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] have exposed his identity.

Obviously, the other party knew that he had hit an iron plate.
