Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

"This is a grade C material card, and the price is 3,500 cubic coins."

The clerk took a look and made an offer.

"I bought it."

Shi Li did not hesitate.

So a piece of [Advanced Lubricating Oil], just like this.

He had previewed this card just now, and there was no suitable main card.

But it's different now, because I have a new card.

[Bald Beast] + [Advanced Lubricating Oil] = [Brother Precious Beast]

Clap your hands, and the light overflows from the palms.

Snapped!

[Brother is expensive! 】

The new card projection is actually not much different from the bald beast, it's nothing more than a layer of shiny oil on its body.

But the card grade changed from D grade to C grade.

"This recipe, sell it too."

He handed over 【Brother Guisang Beast】.

"Okay buddy, you have nothing to say about your luck."

The clerk had no choice but to give a thumbs up while picking up the identification device.

"No, no, strength is all strength."

Shi Li smiled and waved his hand.

He rubbed out [Brother Guisang Beast] on the spot, and he was not afraid of being stolen by the other party.

Because the real finished product is in your own hands, it can only be certified through system handover.

And really think [Brother Guisang Beast] is so easy to reproduce?

Just find a bald card to anoint, believe it or not, I will give you a [big bald head] [big oily head] or something like that every minute.

"Please wait."

Obviously the clerk understands this and behaves professionally.

"Congratulations, the quotation given by the formula company is 5,000 cubic dollars!"

The probability of the materials directly enhancing the panel is too small, so the formula of D-level cards + C-level materials = C-level cards is more valuable than the formula of D-level cards + D-level cards = C-level cards.

It is even much higher than the price of C-level [Kung Fu Tailor] + D-level [Big Sheep] = C-level [Kung Fu Sheep].

The clerk knew that he had met a god-man today.

I bought two material cards for nothing in the specialty store, and made 1,000 cubic coins backhanded, can you believe it?

Holding [Brother Guisang Beast] + 1000 cubic coins, Shi Li left the specialty store contentedly.

"Here, pay your money back."

He returned the 10,000 cubic coins to Slime in full.

"Eh? Master, 1000 interest is missing!"

Shrem took the money, dumbfounded.

"You said earlier how much the interest was."

"10% a day!"

"Oh, I haven't borrowed enough for a day, so of course there is no interest."

"???"

Shrem suddenly realized that she had been fooled.

Master's words are so reasonable, but it can't refute them!

...

The 2-day game break passed quickly, and Shi Li came to the association's arena again.

Today still needs to play 2 games, and it is still 4+1.

After these two games, the 100 players who have advanced will enter the copy stage, and finally the top 32 will be selected to return to the poker table to compete.

Unlike the preliminaries, today finally got some real spectators.

In particular, there are several groups of people in the auditorium that are quite obvious, because they all wear various uniforms.

On a seat next to a fence, there were also two people wearing the same uniform.

However, compared with those groups, it seems weak.

"Curator, we only have two people, is it really appropriate?"

One of them was a male secretary wearing black-rimmed glasses.

"Hmph, it doesn't mean that more people come to be useful."

"What matters at the poker table is strength, not ostentation."

The woman known as the curator folded her hands and snorted coldly.

The woman appears to be in her early 30s, with fair hair and good looks.

Her surname is Xiu, and she runs an ancestral card shop.

That's right, it's the Xiupai Pavilion, the one where the three of Shi Li worked part-time.

But curator Xiu doesn't know Shi Li, because she has been out of town for the past six months and just came back today.

As for today's purpose, it's not to cheer for the staff of the card hall.

Instead, the main target was on other players.

Because the city's annual Rising Star Competition is one of the channels for card halls to find talents.

Those groups wearing uniforms are the various card halls in this city.

"Yo, isn't this the curator of the show?"

At this time, a middle-aged male curator not far away led the team over.

"Long time no see, Director Wang."

The curator of the show said hello.

As a colleague, the other party is his old acquaintance.

"I heard that you went to Lanlan City. How was your trip?"

Curator Wang sat down beside her with an amiable smile.

Lanlan City, a top first-tier city, is also an ancient capital.

"Don't mention the matter over there."

"How about it, does Curator Wang have any promising newcomers?"

The curator of the show changed the topic.

"Hahaha, we are not here to find newcomers today."

Unexpectedly, curator Wang raised his legs and said with a smile, "Because the strongest newcomer this year is already in our card hall."

"Xiao Hou, come and say hello to Director Xiu."

"Yes, curator."

A handsome boy about 15 or 6 years old came out of the line and nodded politely to the curator of the show: "Hello, curator of the show."

"Xiaohou, he has been a student of our card hall since he was 10 years old."

"At the simulated poker table, ordinary coaches may not be able to beat him."

"Now he is a LV10 player, and he owns nearly 10 C-level cards."

Director Wang smiled and introduced the basic situation of the little Hou.

"..."

Hearing these words, the male secretary behind Director Xiu couldn't help showing approval.

You must know that most LV10 players will not have more than 5 C-level cards.

And the other party has such a deck at such a young age, it really deserves to be the key training object of Curator Wang.

"Yes, it is indeed a talent."

Curator Xiu smiled, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

She has a dream, that is to revive her own card shop.

Talent, of course, is an essential element in the revival process.

It's a pity that the reputation of my own brand hall is too small, and all the good seedlings have gone to those big brand halls, and I haven't picked up a single one in the past few years.

"Curator, it's time for my show."

"I want to go down and get ready."

At this time, Xiao Hou said to the curator Wang.

"Well, let's go."

"But since curator Xiu is here today, you can show her a hand."

"It's also good to ask her to help review and comment."

The smile on Director Wang's face made the two of them uncomfortable in the show hall.

What kind of comments are they talking about? In fact, they just want to pretend to be aggressive in front of them.

"Okay, curator."

Xiao Hou, who had just turned around, stopped and turned around again: "5 rounds."

"Within 5 rounds, I will end the battle."

He held out his palm.

The youth's self-confidence was clearly visible at this moment.

"well……"

Watching the young man's back walk down the auditorium, curator Xiu secretly sighed.

When will there be such an outstanding student in his card hall?

Soon, Xiao Hou walked to the designated card table.

hum...

A blue light barrier enveloped the two players.

This is a specially treated barrier, the sound inside can pass out, but the sound outside cannot pass in, in order to prevent off-site pointers.

"Well, Xiaohou's opponent also looks very young."

In the auditorium, Director Wang folded his hands.

Xiaohou's card table happened to be right next to the fence, so he could see it clearly.

"Huh?"

But when the male secretary saw the person opposite Xiaohou, his expression suddenly became weird.

"That... curator, Xiaohou's opponent is someone from our card hall."

He hesitated to speak.

"Your students?"

Director Wang was the first to show surprise, but then smiled again: "Director Xiu, I'm sorry."

"It's a pity that there are not many students participating in your card hall this year."

"This is only the first round, and we will be sent home by our Xiaohou."

"I knew it was one of yours. I should have told him to show mercy just now."

"In order not to lose too ugly and hurt the feelings of the two card halls."

The more he talked, the brighter his smile became.

Originally, I just wanted to pretend to be a small one, but I didn't expect it to be pretended directly on other people's faces.

So, fate.

"..."

Curator Xiu was silent, his face was naturally a little ugly.

"No, he is not a student of our card hall."

"It's the coach."

The male secretary shook his head.

"Coach?" x2

The two curators were taken aback at the same time.

"Secretary He, you are just joking, how can there be such a young coach."

Director Wang didn't believe it.

"Xiao He, who did you recruit when I was away?"

"The guy who participated in the rookie competition is qualified to be a coach?"

Curator Xiu frowned and blamed.

"..."

Secretary He didn't know what to say about this.

It's true that the coach was young at that time, but his poker skills were impressive.

To be honest, he felt that even Director Xiu, who served the table himself, probably couldn't beat him.

But he heard that the opponent had just awakened as a poker player for a few days.

I'm afraid the deck is weak, and no matter how good the cards are, it won't help.

After all, the comparison is now at a real poker table, and the huge gap in the decks is enough to make up for the skills.

So Secretary He touched his nose and didn't answer any more.

Seeing his reaction, curator Wang thought that it seemed that the other party was not lying.

But so what, as I said just now, Xiao Hou's card skills are not inferior to ordinary coaches.

Besides, isn't a coach in the Yingxiu card hall more enjoyable than winning students?

Thinking of this, he became more and more looking forward to it.

At the poker table, the two faced each other.

Different from being well-behaved in front of the curator, Xiaohou at this time seemed a little proud + cold.

The curator is watching from the side, he wants to win the beauty.

hum!

As the decks of both sides were placed, the light fluctuated and flowed from the card table.

The game officially begins.

Without further ado, Xiao Hou revealed one of his own cards first.

The card was turned over, and a distinctive smoke rose up.

【The big period is coming...】

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing a figure sitting cross-legged.

He is an old man with white hair and beard, dry skin and age spots.

His eyes were closed, and he was wearing old exercise clothes.

At this time, he was sitting on the ground like this, but it gave people a feeling of being like a mountain.

It's just that this mountain seems to be about to collapse.

The old man's face was pale, and there was no blood in sight.

【Old head】

Balanced, 50 points, D

Attack 0, 100/100

[Chuan Gong-Passive]: The attack power of the old head is -50. When revealing the card, you can choose one of your own dolls to make it attack +50 this round.

The first thing that catches the eye is the score as high as 50.

This is the first time that Shi Li encountered an enemy card with such a high score on a real poker table.

In an instant, he understood the opponent's tactical intentions.

Explosive quick attack style, a tactic that relies on high explosiveness at the beginning to open up the situation.

You must know that the upper limit of points for 4+1 games is only 150 points.

A card with 50 points is actually not suitable to appear in this kind of game.

It is now obvious that this [Old Master] is a support card.

The opponent's real trump card should be another revealing card, which made him a little curious.

This curiosity was immediately answered with the unveiling of Xiaohou's second first card.

[Kill, kill, kill! 】

A projection of a burly man holding a big knife + a ferocious spirit jumped out of the card.

The clothes he was wearing seemed to be in the same style as the [Old Master].

The action round hadn't started yet, but at this moment, the old headmaster pushed forward with both palms.

call!

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up on the card table, and a condensed stream of smoke gushed out from his palms.

It hovered over the card table for a few weeks to form a vortex, and then all of them poured into the burly man's Tianling Cap.

[Uh... kill! 】

The burly man immediately raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.

【Crazy Apprentice】

Breakthrough, 50 points, C

Attack 50+50, 100/100, 0/4

[Master-Passive]: When the crazy apprentice receives the buff from the old master, this round ignores [Defense]

[Killing Intent-Passive]: If the crazy apprentice participates in the kill this round, he can attack an additional target this round

"This is……"

The curator of the show frowned: "Linkage cards."

Linkage cards refer to the special bond relationship between specific cards and specific cards.

Just like [Crazy Apprentice] now, he got an extra bonus.

"And it's a full 100-point linkage card."

Secretary He's expression was quite solemn: "Director Wang, you student is so lucky that you can draw two such cards."

"No, no, 1D+1C, scum card, just two scum cards."

Curator Wang waved his hand "modestly".

(This damn guy, I really pretended for him today.)

Curator Xiu looked at the other party's attitude, and couldn't get angry.

Cards of this grade cannot be regarded as scumbags for them.

What's more, it's still a rookie event.

Ignore the 100 attack power of [Defense], and set the attack route in advance. Once the first card is killed, the second card can be attacked.

If you kill the second card, you can attack the third card...

After killing the third card, it's the fourth card's turn...

In theory, as long as the conditions are met, all the regular cards on the opposite side can be cleared in just one round.

It's no wonder that if you dare to say that you can solve the opponent within 5 rounds, if there is no trump card, it won't even take that long.

"Director Wang, you students... have exceeded the standard."

Secretary He didn't know what to say, so he gave him a thumbs up.

A deck of this strength is not something a student should have.

"You can't say that, Secretary He."

"This is obviously because our card house teaches well."

Curator Wang seems to refute, but in fact shows off.

However, at this moment, consecutive questions came from the blue light barrier, as if they were answering his words.

"Who taught you to play cards like this?"

"Can you play cards?"

...

...
