Chapter 87: Chapter 41: A Table on the Water-Sprinkling Cart_2

Director Thompson: [The latter tells the story of a summoner with a disability who’s even stronger than the summoned beasts, and how he leads a group of bizarre and outrageous summoned beasts to gradually grow]

Director Thompson: [Please show your support]

At this point, the lines given by the director had come to an end, and it was time for the two commentators to improvise.

Rose Cooper:[ Director Thompson, I wonder which side you favor in this game]

Director Thompson: [Hahaha, you’re trying to trick me again]

Director Thompson: [I put up so many layers of armor this morning, but in the end, I still picked the wrong side and got slapped in the face]

Director Thompson: [After stepping down, I received a lot of well-wishes from old friends]

Rose Cooper: [That’s fine, this time we’ll say the player we’re rooting for at the same time]

Director Thompson: [Oh? Sincerity for sincerity? No bargaining?]

Rose Cooper: [Yes, sincerity for sincerity, no bargaining!]

Director Thompson: [Alright then, 3, 2, 1...]

Director Thompson:[Black Smoke!]

Rose Cooper:[Ree Shil!]

As a result, both of them announced the players they thought would win at the same time.

But when Director Thompson saw the deep meaning behind Rose’s smile, he still felt like he had been tricked.

Rose Cooper:[ Haha, it seems we support different players, so let’s let Director Thompson explain his reasoning]

Director Thompson: [... Ah, the reasoning is actually quite simple]

Director Thompson: [As I mentioned earlier, Black Smoke is not an ordinary guy, his card deck is probably beyond Level 10]

Director Thompson: [I can be sure that he will certainly pull out a different powerful card deck this time]

Director Thompson:[In the face of absolute strength, even if Ree Shil is a skilled card player, there’s nothing he can do]

Director Thompson:[Alright, now it’s your turn to explain why you support Ree Shil]

Rose Cooper:[Actually, my reasoning is very simple - because he’s good-looking]

Director Thompson:[???]

In fact, Rose Cooper had other reasons she didn’t mention.

After so many years as a host and commentator, she had developed a skill to judge people.

It’s not about how accurate her judgment of card players is; this skill mainly helps her... identify poison milk.

Based on her experience and intuition, Director Thompson looked very much like a poison milk.

Whatsmore, everyone knows Black Smoke’s strength.

Going with the flow and taking sides doesn’t make you stand out.

Supporting Ree Shil, on the other hand, puts her in the position of sympathizing with the underdog.

And what if Ree Shil actually wins? Just what if.

On stage, Ree Shil and Black Smoke stood face to face.

Black Smoke: "We’ve met from afar at the preliminaries, right?"

Ree Shil: "Mm-hm."

Black Smoke: "You should be at most Level 3. It’s already impressive that you’ve come this far."

Ree Shil: "You’re just Level 5."

Black Smoke: "I... am different."

Black Smoke: "Anyway, I apologize."

Black Smoke: "There’s a 100% chance you won’t be able to defeat me, and the championship is definitely mine, the prize is as good as in my hands, once I get the championship, I will leave this city."

Ree Shil: "... Let’s get started, General."

In the middle of their conversation, their respective card decks were already set up.

In fact, Ree Shil had preconfigured his card deck for this 6+1 card round.

When it came to the first revealing of the cards, he had no real choice in the matter.

Hum!

The blue light wave signifying the start of the card game spread across the table.

Ree Shil raised his hand, and all three cards were revealed.

[Clang!]

[Brother Noble!]

[Beep beep beep beep beep♪~ beep beep beep beep♫~]

These three cards, from left to right, were:

[Iron stick][Brother Grieving Beast][Water Sprinkler Truck]

The projections on their card table were all magnified 100 times and cast onto the stage, so when the familiar Water Sprinkler Truck appeared, it immediately provoked a response from the audience.

"Wow! It’s here! The Grim Reaper Water Truck!"

"Hahahaha, I never thought I’d see this card on a card table."

"The dead memories suddenly attack me..."

"No, no, don’t!"

The general audience were all there to enjoy the show, while the expressions of the eliminated players were mostly bad.

"..."

Even Black Smoke’s eyes involuntarily wavered slightly.

After all, he had personally witnessed the scene from a close distance.

"You don’t have enough cards for 6+1, so you’re even playing a 10-point card."

But after browsing through these three cards, his tone contained a bit of teasing.

How could he compete with just these cards?

"Actually, I’ve been feeling quite constrained playing 4+1 before."

Black Smoke confidently looked at his opponent and leisurely said, "Because my strongest card deck requires at least a 6+1 card round to play."

"So let me show you the world above Level 10."

With that, he consecutively revealed his three cards.

[Squeak!]x3

Three strange creatures, like bugs and beasts, leaped out of the card face.

They all had a dark brown + black patterned hard camouflage shell, and two of them looked exactly the same.

The two identical creatures on the left and right were slightly dog-like in shape, with sharp, insect-like limbs.

𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

[Savage Shell Scout]

Chasing the Wind, 25 points, E

Attack 25, 100/100, 0/2

Ree Shil frowned as he first saw these two cards.

Rose Cooper: [An E-level card? In the finals stage, player Black Smoke actually revealed two E-level cards? This situation hasn’t occurred in the previous rounds]

Director Thompson: [It’s even more outrageous than Ree Shil’s one E-level card, but I believe his playing of these cards must have a deep meaning]

Both commentators gave their timely comments.

The blue light barrier blocked the sound from the outside, otherwise, Ree Shil would definitely agree with Director Thompson’s words.

Because at a glance, the three opening cards seemed to be part of a set.

The card in the middle of Black Smoke’s hand was a beetle-like creature.

Its movements were sluggish, and its massive, heavy shell-covered back resembled an elephant’s trunk.

[Savage Shell Sturdy Shield]

Determination, 30 points, D

Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3

[Thick Old Cocoon - 3 Point Energy]: Savage Shell Sturdy Shield performs [Defense] and releases a layer of [Shield], blocking 50 points of damage for itself

This card was a remarkably tough defensive card.

With this card revealed, Ree Shil could basically deduce that Black Smoke was telling him that his King Card was in the middle column.

Because this beetle’s survival ability was far stronger than the two dog-bugs next to it.

But what concerned him the most were the common prefixes on the three cards: Savage Shell.

"A linkage card?"

Looking at these three cards, Ree Shil had a bad feeling.

His revealed card deck contained mostly Zombie Beasts Cards and Human-shaped Cards.

Revealing an[Iron Stick]+[Brother Grieving Beast]+[Water Sprinkler Truck]at the beginning was actually a way to preemptively deal with the opponent, in case Black Smoke really pulled out a counter card, so his own early game disadvantage wouldn’t be too big.

He believed that with Black Smoke’s card deck depth, there was a high probability of having a counter card, but now he pulled out three set cards, which...

Please don’t be some kind of combo where revealing three Savage Shell Bugs grants an additional Savage Shell Bug reveal, otherwise, he’ll be at a significant disadvantage at the beginning.

"Linkage card? Yes and no."

Faced with Ree Shil’s question, Black Smoke smiled slightly.

At this time, the revealing round hadn’t ended yet, as there were still cards to be revealed.

He flicked his hand as if it disappeared into the void and pulled out a card.

"Tsk."

Upon seeing the opponent’s actions, Ree Shil immediately understood.

With a snap, Black Smoke placed the extra card, not belonging to any card in the 6+1 card group, on the card table.

[Rustling...]

A wasteland of deep brown barren mud spread across the pure blue light card table.

When the barren wasteland spread across half of Black Smoke’s card table, it finally stopped.

[Squeak!]x3

Standing in this kind of environment, the three Savage Shell Beasts let out cheerful cries, as if they were delighted.

Rose Cooper: [Wow, amazing, player Black Smoke actually pulled out a Scene Card!]

Director Thompson: [Scene Cards only appear in Instances above Lv10, so now the rumor of Black Smoke’s demotion is confirmed]

Director Thompson: [But the chances of drawing a Scene Card are extremely low]

Rose Cooper: [Ree Shil was already far behind in card deck depth compared to Black Smoke, and now with the addition of a Scene Card...]

When they saw the information on this Scene Card, both commentators thought Ree Shil’s chances were slim.
