Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

Chapter 326 A-level [Breaking Sword] A-level [A-40]

The reward for entering the top 4 is 2 A-level cards.

For those veteran players who have a lot of experience and accumulation, this may not be a big deal.

Moreover, if an experienced player gets an A-grade material card, there may be a 95% chance that it will explode or they will not be able to get the card they want.

But for Toki, who has been a poker player for less than a year and has "absolute poker sense", it is very precious.

This is not the first time he has come to the card library, so he is somewhat familiar with it.

The material card to be chosen this time has already been answered.

Fortunately, the cards I was interested in were not selected by other top 16 players.

"I choose these two, thank you."

He went straight to the cabinet and took two cards.

"OK, just a second."

The staff member took the card and left. After operating it for a while, the card was released from theft protection and returned to Shili.

He returned to the dormitory without staying while holding the card.

After taking a rest, he took out the first card.

Its projection is a yellow talisman.

A large number of complex but symmetrical rune patterns were drawn on it using a blue liquid that looked like blood.

And in the center of the spell, there is a scrawled word "coffin" written on it.

The whole spell gives people a sense of the heaviness of time.

Holding it in his hand made Shili feel heavy in his heart.

"This must be a good card. It can have a slight impact on people just by the appearance of the projection."

[Coffin Covering Talisman]: Use unknown

When you get the material card, what you are most afraid of encountering are these four words: unknown use.

Maybe he is the only one who is not afraid.

In fact, there are very few cards in Tokidachi's hand that can be integrated with this material card.

If we want to talk about adaptation, there is only one.

【Breaking Balance Sword】+【Coffin Cover Talisman】=【Breaking Balance Sword】

"Since it is a card specially designed to counterbalance the balanced cards, it should go the same way to the end."

"Even if the opponent only has one balanced card, [Breaking Sword] can use this card as a breakthrough to gain an advantage for one's own deck."

"So for this last entry, of course, we must take the specialization route."

So each holds a card and claps with both hands.

Buzz!

The light overflows from the palm, and the card is completed.

In the new projection, blue light runes appear vaguely on the surface of the sword body, almost exactly the same as what was seen on the material card just now.

It is also like a dragon and a phoenix, but symmetrical.

Only the word "coffin" is missing.

【Breaking Sword】

Breaking the trend, 30 points, A

Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3

[Balance-Breaking Spirit-Passive]: When the Balance-Breaking Sword is attacked by a Balance card, the damage is -10

[Balance-Breaking Attack-Passive]: When the Balance-Breaking Sword causes damage to the Balance card, it is [True Damage]

[The Art of Covering the Balance - Passive]: When the Balance-breaking Sword releases its skill on the Balance card, it will re-cover the card and [Lock]

[Breaking Balance Sword - 3 points of energy]: The balancing sword swings a sword energy of 30 points of damage to the target. Each time there is a balanced unveiling card on the field, an additional 5 points of damage will be added.

"In this way, this card will become much stronger."

Looking at the brand new cards, I immediately felt happy.

After previous actual combat feedback, he was dissatisfied with the card [Breaking Sword] for two reasons.

The first point is that the output effect of [True Damage] is not great when facing cards without damage reduction.

To put it more bluntly, it is completely ineffective.

Because what others should [Defend] is still [Defense], [Real Damage] can only ignore its damage reduction entry, but cannot ignore [Defense].

This leads to the fact that although it is called breaking the balance, it is actually not broken at all.

So this card has damage reduction against balanced cards, but no special attack against balanced cards.

You must know that the cards on the opposite side will definitely not all be balanced cards, so when [Breaking Sword] becomes a wild card, this mere 10 points of specific damage reduction cannot bring it too much survivability.

The second point is that its active skills are weak.

The 3-point energy warm-up is a bit too long, which can sometimes lead to an awkward situation.

Uncover [Breaking Sword] at the end of the line. By the time it warms up, there may not be many Balance cards left on the field, and the damage bonus it can provide is actually not that high.

If [Breaking Sword] is revealed in the next row, it may have become a wild card before it has warmed up.

If you continue to attack or use skills at this time, there is a high risk of being taken away by the opponent's concentrated fire.

Then it fires "sword energy", which is "damage" and not "attack".

In other words, after completing the skill, it is 0/3 instead of 1/3.

This requires you to start accumulating energy again, which is equivalent to 4 rounds to create an output cycle.

How many 4 rounds can there be in a 9+1 game?

But now, the situation is completely different.

The current "covering" effect is equivalent to a hard control.

Moreover, it is unparalleled hard control, because most of the entries cannot take effect when the cards are folded, and the same goes for [defense], [attack] and other actions.

Even [stillness] is not recognized.

Because [Stillness] was interrupted midway.

In addition, the function of [Lock] is to prevent the opponent player from replacing this card with a substitute card when it is folded for the second time.

And [Lock] is also a negative effect and belongs to T1 priority.

what does that mean.

This means that as long as the Balance Sword makes the target fold the card at T1, even if the target completes the hedging with [Balance Sword] or other negative attacks at T1, it will still be equivalent to a fold in the T1 and T3 stages of this round. target.

If it is the early and middle stages of the game, it may also waste the opponent's opportunity to reveal the card and delay the entire unveiling step.

Taking into account all the considerations, even if [Breaking Sword] can only use one skill in the whole game, it is definitely worth it.

As for the second material card, it is a strange-looking capsule.

Unlike ordinary drug capsules, this thing looks to be made entirely of metal.

There are also traces of electronic circuits and plate welding on the surface. This is a mechanical capsule.

[Mechanical Rebirth Capsule]: There is a very small probability that the mechanical card will be upgraded and reorganized and optimized.

Upgrading, in Shili's concept, means improving one's level.

Then I have never heard of this reorganization and optimization.

There are only 2 cards that can be fused with this material card.

[Rhinoceros King] and [A-39].

You can get the answer from the preview results of [Rhinoceros King] and this material card.

[Rhinoceros King] + [Mechanical Rebirth Capsule] = [Rhinoceros King]

There is actually not much change in the card projection after the fusion.

It just looks like the original mechanical rhinoceros, with rows of missiles added to its back.

But the cards are quite different.

【The Ox King】

Chasing the Wind, 30 points, C

Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3

(Old) [Shock Wave - Passive]: When the Rhino King transforms, it can cause a [Knockback] effect to up to 3 cards in a row in front of it.

(New) [Shock Wave-Passive]: When the Bull King transforms, it can cause your own wild cards to [collide] with the enemy's wild cards.

([Collision]: The party with the lower score will receive 20 points of damage, if the scores are equal, both parties will receive 10 points of damage)

The original [Repulse] is actually very difficult to use.

Because it is actually very difficult to achieve if there is a space behind the other party.

There are only two ways Todachi can envision using the old version of [Shock Wave].

One type is used to hinder the opponent's displacement cards from moving, making them unable to reach the target location they want to go to.

The other is to push one's own wild cards forward and occupy the opposite card grid, giving the feeling of conquering a city or territory.

But in fact, this card in his hand is more of an entertainment card, used to make things happen.

After all, the strength and versatility of this card are not suitable for today's PVP environment.

Then the [Change Form] skill has no change, it still transforms once with 2 points of energy.

And [Rhinoceros King] is not a derivative card, so its deformation does not cause the card face to change, it just changes the projection appearance.

In addition, merging with [Mechanical Rebirth Capsule] can also add a new entry to it.

[Cattle Bullet - Passive]: When the Ox King transforms, it will cause 10 points of damage to all enemy wild cards regardless of defense.

This passive is a bit powerful, which is equivalent to enhancing the group damage ability of [Bull King].

and provide a greater threat to its transformation.

A [Mechanical Rebirth Capsule] not only changes the existing entry of [Rhinoceros King], but also adds a new entry to it. It can be said to be an excellent material card.

However, Tokidachi's answer was not to fuse these two cards, but to fuse it with [A-39].

This card actually has a big problem, which has always made Tokidachi dissatisfied.

That is, its second entry is almost useless.

[Repeating Cycle System - Passive]: When A-39 continuously restores energy to a target, the amount of recovery will be doubled.

Continuously restore energy to the same target, and the recovery amount can be as high as 6 points.

However, the fact is that so far, this volume of replies has all exceeded.

Among the cards in his hand that are strong enough to appear, only [Time Demon Dragon] with an energy limit of 8 points and [Yoga Frog] with 6 points can fully utilize the effect of this 2-skill.

Seriously, it's quite a waste.

In actual PVP combat, these 2 skills have never shown value once.

But it's different now.

After the transformation of [Mechanical Rebirth Capsule], it basically turned into a brand new card.

【A-40】

Listen to the wind, 0 points, A

Attack 0, 100/100, 2/3

[Recharge in advance - Passive]: When A-40 is unveiled, gain 1→2 energy points

[Repeat cycle - Passive]: When A-40 continuously releases skills on one target, the energy consumption is 2

[Peace Machine-Passive]: A-40's attack power is always 0 and can be placed on any tablet.

[Energy Supply-3 points of energy]: A-40 restores 3 points of energy for a card

After doing this, this card rose directly to the ranks of top brands.

First, the unveiling charge has been increased by 1 point, allowing it to release the first skill faster.

However, for the same goal, "energy consumption is 2" is obviously more practical than "energy recovery doubled".

Finally, it can be placed in the ace row like [Unknown Sword Spirit] and [Sword Seeker].

"This A-grade material card feels like the best."

“It feels like it would be worth at least 5 to 10 million cubic coins if placed on an underground exchange.”

“‘Low probability’ scares away too many people and makes it gather dust.”

"Fortunately, it ended up in my hands."

Press the two cards and clap your hands.

Buzz!

The light overflows from the palm, and the card is completed.

"Appeal, get it done."

After dealing with these two material cards, Shi immediately wiped his forehead.

"Next, it's time to continue entering the dungeon and do the tasks."

The 8-to-4 game lasts for 2 days, and after 2 days there is still 5 days of rest.

So almost like last time, he has 5 days to continue the mission.

Now he has experienced the taste of long-term tasks. According to the time in the dungeon, it has basically taken almost a year.

As a result, it's not even half done yet.

There are 3 more memory scenes.

Then the relatively densely distributed fragments have been almost collected, and the rest are quite scattered.

Although there are only 26 pieces left, it should take longer than the previous 47 pieces.

In addition, he looked at the talent progress bar.

"If we continue at this pace, I estimate that within two or three days after the finals, my second talent as a poker player will be awakened."

"Everything is progressing in an orderly and stable manner, which is good."

After summarizing, Tokidachi flashed and entered the copy.

…

5 days later, in the dormitory.

Buzz!

Tokidachi's figure reappeared.

"I'm going, it's not easy..."

His first move was to throw himself down on the bed.

5 days is 50 days in it.

These 50 days have been so tiring.

Unexpectedly, the nameless sword spirit's third place of memory would be another right-centered den.

The key point is that this time it was a loss, because it seemed that because I blew up one of their strongholds last time, these guys seemed to have become defensive.

By the time I got there, the building was already deserted. I didn't meet a single player, they were all evil monsters.

If it hadn't been for the recall of Zhu Shisan and Feijianxian in advance.

The scavenger, the will-o'-the-wisp boy who can only self-destruct, and the nameless sword spirit alone can't keep him safe at all.

But the ending is finally good, and the progress of this mission has been improved.

[Stage 3 (1): Find sword body fragments 47 for the unknown sword spirit → 52/73]

[Stage 3 (2): Find the former owner of the unknown sword spirit 2→3/5]

Just then, his phone rang.

【Jingle Bell…】

"Hey, what are you doing?"

[You are finally out of the copy]

Xiang Qi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Waiting for me? Who wins, you or Qingyu?"

【Of course it's me, where are you now】

【I have something to ask you】

After some communication, Xiangqi came to Shili's dormitory.

"You look so strange."

Shi Li looked at Xiang Qi.

Today he is no longer an elf light ball, but an original elephant-headed man.

"You're about the same."

The same feeling as Xiang Qi.

So next, Xiang Qi told Shi Li his thoughts.

It turns out that after the two entered the top four, they became their respective semi-final opponents.

What he meant was that since they were all acquaintances, how about they play the semi-finals in private.

This way, there is no need to reveal the deck in a public event.

It is beneficial to the winning side and may help it go further, that is, win the championship.

Tokidachi: "What you mean is that we both use our strongest decks for a round in private."

Xiang Qi: "Yes, after all, I believe we have reached this point, and you and I have no intention of letting things go."

Shili: "Is it possible that I will let go, just to make your loss less ugly?

Xiang Qi: "..., are you starting to engage in psychological warfare now?"

Tokichi: "I'm telling the truth."

But there is one thing to say, Xiang Qi's proposal is indeed good for both of them.

So Shili agreed without thinking.

And also invited Hui Chun to serve as the referee (void commentator).

Yes, they decided to start now.

Play this 4-in-2 semi-final privately in advance.
