As the chessboard continued to unfold, Huai Shi opened his eyes again and found himself standing in a vast fog.
In front of him was a huge blank chessboard that served as a battlefield. On both sides were the graveyard and the card library, as well as the ocean that represented the abyss below the battlefield.
And on the other side of the chessboard, Madam Sophie's figure slowly appeared.
"Oh my, so rich …"
Huai Shi pretended to suck in a few breaths of cold air. Anyway, there was no cold air for him to breathe in.
There wasn't even an air conditioner, but it didn't feel stuffy.
It was a limited edition "aerial battlefield simulation kit" sold by Tomorrow News' gaming company, Super World Records, aimed at rich players. The miniature framework meticulously fabricated by the Creator was implanted into the relics created by alchemy, finally creating this real space.
Of course, you could find a random place on the ground and draw a few grids, but the top-notch sound and visual effects were f * cking different.
Otherwise, how could it highlight the prettiness of a pay-to-win player?
In particular, the set in front of Huai Shi was simply the best of the best. It had its own projection and mimicry effects, and could perfectly restore the characters and artifacts represented by each card. There was even a bondage voice and full destruction special effect. Marrying a paper person was not a dream!
Huai Shi tried to throw out his one-of-a-kind commemorative Prince of Paradise card from his bag.
In an instant, the projection of a mountain spirit riding a white horse and holding a Sword of Virtue slowly appeared in the grids in front of him. A crown of light floated above his head, handsome and majestic.
How should he put it … Huai Shi was quite embarrassed.
Actually, he wasn't that handsome, was he?
Did he use too much of the beautifying lens?
Madam Sophie was quite patient. She waited until Huai Shi finished showing off before asking, "Are there any favoritism rules? If you're not familiar with it, you can practice two rounds of man-machine mode. "
"No need." Huai Shi waved his hand. "It took me five minutes to completely master this game."
"…"
Madam Sophie's eyebrows seemed to be raised slightly, but she didn't say anything. She nodded. "Then, let's use the standard mode. How about it?"
"Okay."
Huai Shi nodded and sat down on his chair, motioning for her to bring it on.
Today, I'll show you what a godly dog is.
He had completely forgotten about his terrible luck of not being in Nigeria.
The Standard Mode was the most common rule in the Myriad Worlds Cards.
In a 1v1, both sides would choose their own module card packs, then combine them with the common card packs and create their own card packs. They would then roll the dice to decide who would win first and then start the competition. Both sides had 20 HP each, and once the HP was deducted, the other side would win.
Two out of three wins.
This was the easiest way to learn, and it was also the most technical way to compete.
However, most of the time, it depended on the content of the deck prepared by the other party. After all, there were natural restraints between some card packs.
For example, the Roman genealogy and the Russian Federation genealogy were both in their later stages. However, the Pantheon Temple, which was upgraded from the Hall of the Pharaoh, was able to suppress the artificial Holy Spirits of the Russian Federation genealogy with a sea of people.
The most common tactic of the Egyptian genealogy was the Jiurong God. When faced with the "Ennead" of the American genealogy, it could not bring out the iconic turtle style of play.
Green Sun's card pack could completely counter the artifact tactics of the Astronomy Association's card pack, and Golden Dawn, which also liked to use the artifact route like the Astronomy Association, could completely defeat Green Sun's surprise attack strategy.
At the same time, most of the Abyss card packs would be targeted by the Astronomy Association …
Every card pack had its own strengths and weaknesses, but more often than not, there was a comprehensive score and evaluation. Some card packs dropped from S + to C- after going through the environment.
Even if this was not balanced to some extent, this imbalance itself was part of the whole dynamic balance.
The Yingzhou genealogy, which jumped to A rating because of the environment, had no reason to be on par with the Ranch's main deck, which had been immovable for thousands of years, right?
Without taking advantage of Huai Shi, Madame Sophie took the lead to choose her card pack, leaving plenty of room for Huai Shi to think.
The American genealogy, the battle between the North and the South.
This category was built around the civil war between the American Free Cities and the United Nations more than a hundred years ago. At that time, it could be said to be the prelude to the American Golden Age. There were many cards with potential that could be arranged in advance at a lower cost. From the middle, they would crazily increase their own lethality, and their ability to protect themselves in the early stage was definitely not bad.
She did not underestimate Huai Shi and adopt a fast attack strategy.
She was very cautious and prepared to go all out. She was determined to shave him bald.
After pondering for a moment, Huai Shi raised his head and looked at the star-like card pack classification in front of him, revealing a mysterious smile.
Madame Sophie suddenly became alert.
She braced herself.
She still didn't know Huai Shi very well.
Those who knew him knew that once he showed such a smile … it meant that he had begun to ask the three questions in life.
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing … There are so many card packs, which one should I choose!
Completely embarrassed to show his cowardice in front of the rich woman, Huai Shi, who had only played the basic version of the novice card pack, fell into a dilemma.
Then, he began to be stubborn out of habit.
He closed his eyes and counted the soldiers … When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge button in the direction his finger was pointing.
— Randomly selected.
Huai Shi's smile suddenly stiffened.
Oh my god, I'm dead …
In an instant, countless star-like card packs rapidly changed. In the end, accompanied by a hoarse battle cry, a card pack made of ancient leather fell from the sky.
Three overlapping triangles represented the existence of the World Tree.
Nordic pedigree.
The outstanding representative of fast attack, berserker, and mad dog, the first choice for masters to bully noobs. The typical style of "you cut me, if you can't cut me, I'll cut you to death."
"When my life points drop below five points, you'll be dead!"
Most of the artifacts had amazing power, but the side effect was to reduce the player's life points. If Valhalla's economy couldn't recover, then it would directly die on the spot …
But at this time, he must not be afraid.
If he showed an expression of "what the f * ck should I do", he would lose half the game before it even started.
So, Huai Shi's smile became more and more mysterious.
Then, looking at the three randomly selected identity cards in front of him, he began to stare blankly.
Wanderer – Odin. Skill – Wisdom: You can play one more Rune Totem every turn. You can draw one more card for every Rune Totem you lose.
Surter, Skill Dusk: Can designate a character card at any time to obtain the Weapon Card Levantin. Can only be used once. After the character enters the graveyard, Levantin will be exiled and lost forever.
Queen of Heaven Frija, Skill Glory: Every round, every time there is a Rune Totem, can designate a character card on the field to obtain the life points effect.
…
How should he choose? Which one should he choose?
Huai Shi closed his eyes and continued to choose the cards. Finally, he opened his eyes. Okay, Odin.
On the opposite side, Madame Sophie took out Itsam, the leader of the Ennead. Skill: Every blood sacrifice on the field will increase the character card's value.
It felt very powerful!
Anyway, Huai Shi didn't understand how to play this!
But he still took the lead to pick up the dice and decided to play first.
"Take my Lucky King's Power!"
Huai Shi raised his hand confidently, and then under Madame Sophie's silent gaze.
He rolled a 'one'.
How did you do it.jpg
Huai Shi also wanted to ask himself, how did he get the smallest number out of the twenty dice?
Looking at the unconcealable dullness and guilt on the young man's face, Madame Sophie couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. Am I being too cautious? There's no need to care about this kind of newbie, right?
She picked up the dice and threw it casually.
Then … she also rolled a 'one'.
Madame Sophie: "…"
Huai Shi: "…"
In the long silence, the two sides looked at each other awkwardly, feeling as if they had met the people from Africa in a foreign country. The originally austere atmosphere also became somewhat cordial in a sense.
When the two sides had the same number, they had to continue to roll, or the one who rolled first would have the upper hand.
Madame Sophie was too lazy to care about this. She waved her hand and signaled Huai Shi to play first.
Huai Shi looked at the pile of cards to his right that he had just searched online and matched on the spot. With a wave of his hand, seven cards suddenly flew across the air and floated in front of Huai Shi.
His luck was not bad.
Three Rune Totems as resources, one spell, one weapon, and two character cards — a high-cost Valkyrie and an iconic Berserker.
After swiftly placing down two Rune Totems, Huai Shi threw out the Berserker.
Instantly, the bare-chested, white-bearded Berserker with scars all over his body walked out of the sweeping cold wind, holding a greatsword and roaring at the sky.
He didn't know what Huai Shi was thinking behind him.
Anyway, the Berserker's passive was to lose HP and increase attack. Let him take a beating first …
After the end of the round, Madame Sophie swung down a Temple and used the spell card to exchange the Temple for a high-grade resource card, Cotton Plantation.
As an economic building, in addition to the fixed production of resources, every round was equivalent to a blood sacrifice for the Ennead.
Immediately afterward, the Skinning Warrior with the Obsidian Axe was summoned in advance during the blood sacrifice. After being endowed with the Dexterity special effect, he swung the big club inlaid with Obsidian Fragments and smashed it down on the Berserker's head.
In an instant, the Berserker's HP was about to hit bottom, but blood-red flames rose on his body and his attack power jumped wildly, almost doubling.
But then, the Skinning Warrior's ability gave him a stun effect …
He was stopped for one round!
Oh my God …
Huai Shi was stunned and felt a chill at the back of his head.
He began to wonder if he had been too confident just now.
.
.
"You mean … the All Ages card?"
Also on the cruise ship, Crow was stunned after hearing about ST's test from the DM and KP.
As far as she knew, ST was a super collector and enthusiast. Although she didn't know the specific record, she was once a candidate for the annual Hall of Fame selection more than a decade ago because of her outstanding contributions to the revision of the competition system!
If she wanted to play the All Ages card with Huai Shi, it could be said that Antarctica basically had nothing to do with her.
Pack your luggage and go back to Gao Laozhuang!
"What are you guys doing?" Crow was furious. "This is not what we agreed on. Even if you want to go back on your word, you don't have to do this, do you?"
In the silence, KP and the DM suddenly looked at each other strangely.
"Ahem."
KP came out to smooth things over, smiling and waving his hand. "That … Don't worry, although ST's mouth is vicious, she's actually the kindest of the three of us …
As long as the players follow her rules, nothing will happen. She has never done things like 'seeing the Ancient God as soon as you enter the door' or 'using the Wishing Spell to directly airdrop the adult Red Dragon on the next table over the newcomer group' …
As long as Huai Shi's level is passable, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that nothing will happen … right? "
Speaking of this, he was a little unsure.
After all, ST was the most serious one among them. Her harshness was second only to the DM.
Crow couldn't help but sigh.
Throwing away the trivial rules of the All Ages card game, in the end, it was nothing more than a game of numbers … With Huai Shi's mathematical ability, let alone probability, it was already a miracle that he could calculate his economy and maximum output for each round.
What's more, how could she not know how bad Huai Shi was?
He would never be able to reach the level of God of Whipping in this lifetime.
If he really went up, let alone winning, it would be ST's mercy if he could last ten rounds.
"You guys need to give me an explanation for this!"
Crow asked solemnly, "Are you guys planning to violate the Covenant? Or is it that Golden Dawn has given you a higher price so that you're ready to be a traitor? "
As she spoke, her pupils turned scarlet, and countless black gas overflowed from her feathers, faintly outlining the ferocious outline of a black hole.
"Wait, don't worry, don't worry!"
KP suddenly panicked and hurriedly raised his hand to signal her to calm down.
He turned back and glanced at the DM. "Hey! Say something, didn't you agree at that time? "
The old DM's face was as calm as water, and as always, there was no expression on his face. He just shook his head, unable to watch this farce anymore.
"Do you want to say it, or should I?" the DM asked.
"…"
In silence, the two looked at each other, and finally KP said, "Forget it, I'll do this kind of thing that offends her … anyway, it's not the first time anyway, cough cough … to be honest."
KP took a deep breath, and his expression became more and more strange.
It was as if he was trying very hard to hold back his laughter, and under professional training, he didn't laugh out loud.
"ST she … ST she … pfft …"
He turned his head and covered his mouth, his face flushed red. "ST she knows the rules very well, especially likes the All Ages card, and is one of the few collectors in the entire territory …
But in fact, since seventy years ago … she has been secretly participating in the border region's qualifiers without us knowing. But until now, she hasn't made it in even once, pfft, hahahaha!!!! "
He finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Although I don't want to say it, but … you really don't have to worry about this."
KP hammered his knees and laughed until tears almost came out of his eyes. "She always thinks that she's super strong, just that her luck isn't too good. But in fact, her ability to play cards is super weak. She can't even beat someone like Lili who just started learning, and she doesn't even let people talk about it, hahahahaha … even the officials don't understand why she's so weak!
Last time … last time she couldn't beat someone online, and her mouth was so foul that even her account was banned … I said a few words, and she gave me a look, hahahaha, I can't take it anymore … DM, quickly take a screenshot of her expression at that time, it's too interesting, hahaha … "
"He's right."
DM calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip.
He still looked calm and serious, but his trembling fingers betrayed him. It was obvious that he was resisting the urge to laugh wildly, and he was kind enough to not hit his companion when he was down.
"What the hell?"
Crow couldn't believe it. "Are you kidding me?"
"That's right."
KP pulled out a piece of tissue and wiped his tears of laughter. He continued to expose ST's dark secrets, "She's been playing for seventy years, and has written more than four hundred sets of strategies and analysis, but in fact, she can't even beat the simplest man-machine mode … She even smashed several chessboards in anger."
"In short …"
He said sternly, "This is what it means to be a chicken pecking at each other."
.
.
On the chessboard, the difficult battle had already entered its final stage.
Unknowingly, both of them were already sweating profusely, and steam was rising from their heads. When they looked at each other, their hearts were full of vigilance and fighting spirit.
That's right, this was a strong opponent!
Huai Shi didn't expect that she would be able to match up to the Prince of Fish Pond!
She looked like a newbie, but he didn't expect her to be at his level!
Amazing!
It seemed that he had to show his true ability.
"My turn, draw a card!"
Huai Shi shouted, and then a devastating golden light illuminated his face.
— — Weapon card, Great Divine Proclamation, Gungnir!
A bright and glorious pillar of light descended from the sky and fell on the battlefield, held in the hands of the Valkyrie.
Passive effect: banish all the Rune Totems. Each Rune Totem increases attack power by three points. At the same time, Odin's skill was triggered. Every time a Rune Totem is lost, a card will be automatically drawn …
Huai Shi's hand was filled up in an instant. At the same time, after the Valkyrie Brunhilda's four turns, the legendary hero Siegelud, who had the most expensive card in the deck, automatically appeared.
Huai Shi didn't have the Sword of Victory in his hand, but his attack power was still frighteningly high.
The most terrible thing was that if the husband and wife were on the battlefield at the same time, their attack power could be stacked!
As Gungnir flew out from Brunhilda's hand, Robert Li, the incarnation of the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan, immediately appeared and turned into ashes.
With the help of Huai Shi's Spell Card, Siegelud's body was wrapped in a golden light, and he stepped forward and slashed.
With the blessing of the husband and wife buff, and Siegelud's natural ability to suppress dragons, the STs' Dragonblood Skinning Templar was cleanly cut in two.
After losing the suppression of the two, Huai Shi laughed and the Berserkers swarmed forward … and they were all killed.
Huai Shi was stunned.
"What a pity."
Madam Sophie shook her head calmly and hid her trembling fingers behind her back. "Not bad."
Divine Artifact, Crystal Skull.
All the Creature Cards that entered the graveyard would be regarded as Blood Sacrifice and be banished forever. Each Creature Card would bring one point of mana.
At the same time, every time a Blood Sacrifice was used, Itsam's skill would give a bonus point to the Lycan Lieutenant General. After Huai Shi's Berserkers killed all the cannon fodder, the Lycan Lieutenant General's attack and defense had been stacked to a terrifying degree.
It could not break through its defense at all.
Then in the next round, it easily took away the last two points of Huai Shi's HP.
The outcome was clear.
Huai Shi was petrified in place, unable to believe what had just happened.
Just a little bit more!
Sophie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost fallen into the boy's trap. She thought that he was a newbie, but she did not expect that it was all a disguise!
If he hadn't subconsciously put up his guard, he would have failed miserably at such an easy task.
But when she thought of the card game just now — that kind of long-awaited battle to her heart's content, she couldn't help but be eager to try again.
It was hard to find another person who could fight back and forth with him.
"How about …"
Sophie took the lead and suggested, "Let's play again?"
She decided to give Huai Shi another chance.
Let this young man have a good taste of what a real master is!
