Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

"Okay, thanks anyway."

Shi Li held up the book and thanked him.

But looking at the excited little eyes of the other party, it is estimated that he can no longer hear it.

So he picked up the book and was about to start flipping through it.

The books are thick and heavy.

The name is "Purified Thinking About Cards".

"Purification?"

This is the first time Shili has heard of this word, but he has roughly understood what it means.

Turn over the first few pages, let's take a look at the introduction and introduction.

Unexpectedly, after reading the introduction with only a few thousand words, he closed the book.

"So that's how it is, and it can still be like this!"

I really want to thank Boss Cai for this wave. A few pages in a book can make me enlightened.

After reading the brief introduction, Shi Li knew the concept of "purification".

It refers to the behavior of extracting a powerful entry and reconfiguring it with other desired entries in order to make better use of it.

Looking back at my previous card-shuffle process, I was basically doing addition.

For addition, he is already very experienced.

To put it simply, there are only two words: preview to death, and filter slowly.

But this approach does not work today.

Because wanting to get rid of [penetration] belongs to the category of subtraction.

Previously, my idea was to find a suitable entry to replace the entry of [Penetration] on [Wu Dou Monkey].

This method is called horizontal shuffling in the book.

To put it bluntly, I just want to do it in one step.

Judging from the preview results, it is impossible to achieve.

So before he flipped through the books in the library, he wanted to find out if there was a two-step or even three-step method to achieve the purpose of horizontally shuffling cards.

But the problem lies in two points.

The first point is that his deck is limited in depth and does not have enough bases to provide options.

The second point is that he can only preview one step, so there are too many uncertain factors in the two-step or even three-step horizontal card shuffling.

So for now, taking the route of purification may be a better answer.

The first step of purification is backward compatibility shuffling.

That is to make [Martial Monkey] change from a B-level card to a C-level card.

In the process of changing B to C, discard the entry [Toujin].

Then, through addition, turn the C-level card into a B-level card again, and obtain the finished card you want.

Shi Li is very familiar with this last step.

As for this first step, it seems that there is no ready-made answer in the previewed results.

"But I can synthesize cards that are backward compatible and get rid of [Toujin] by rubbing cards to achieve the purpose of purification."

At this time, he drew inferences from one instance and thought of the answer.

Still take one more step, but the purpose of taking a few more steps is not horizontal, but downward.

It is a curve to save the country.

"Then let's see if there is any relevant information in the book."

So he reopened the book and opened the table of contents.

Sure enough, I found information about [Penetration] in it.

[The penetration effect often depends on the characteristics of the card itself]

[If you want to remove this effect, you can start with the card itself]

[Find its characteristics by observing the projection, or understand the background of the card, etc., and find a solution]

[There is a chance to achieve the purpose of purification]

From the beginning of the chapter, the most central idea is pointed out.

Then the following are actual cases one by one, followed by theoretical analysis.

I immediately saw a few typical examples:

For example, the Swordsman card has the [Penetrate] effect, so find a suitable scabbard card to fuse with it, and this effect can be removed.

However, scabbard cards are more difficult to find. The player in the case made the scabbard card through wood card + material card + recipe scroll.

Another example is that the cannon card has the [Penetrate] effect, so look for a rusty water card to fuse with it, and this effect can be eliminated.

These cases seem to be very simple.

But in the book, it took quite a lot of space just to analyze how to create a suitable scabbard card based on the characteristics of the swordsman card.

It clarifies many theories of a large volume.

Regarding these theoretical contents, Shi Li chose to skip directly.

Because he has hunger, he doesn't need to study.

After reading all the cases throughout the chapter, I have a better idea now.

"The [penetration] of this monkey is punched out, so if I make a pair of gloves or shackles, it can restrict its fist."

"Maybe we can get rid of [Penetrating]."

He doesn't have a direct glove card or a shackle card.

But there is one card each for Fists and Shackles.

The result of directly rubbing these two cards with [Martial Monkey] is not very good, so they can't be directly merged.

So the first step he has to do is to change these two cards to see if they can improve their compatibility with [Martial Monkey].

First, let's take a look at these two cards.

【let me out! 】

The projection of the first card is an ant-man locked in a small cell.

With its hands in shackles, it was wandering back and forth violently in the cell.

Not only are there shackles on its hands, but it also has iron chains tied to its ankles, which are connected to large iron balls.

【Ant-Man Prisoner】

Listening to the wind, 20 points, C

Attack 20, 100/100, 0/2

[Overload - Passive]: Ant-man prisoners can act once in 2 rounds

[Free Heart - Passive]: Ant-Man Prisoners will not recover energy when stationary

This card was drawn by him in the copy of [Source of Pollution], and the source should be the deteriorating patient who was locked up.

At that time, I thought the double-negative entry of this card was very interesting, so I kept it.

Regardless of the face of the card, he wanted to purify the card and twist it into handcuffs.

But after a dizzy batch processing, the answer told him that he was thinking too much.

Sure enough, subtraction is the most difficult thing. It is too difficult to remove Ant-Man and leave only handcuffs.

So after thinking about it, I still looked at the second card.

【Never retreat! 】

The projection of this card is a floating Youyou covered in white cloth.

There are some patches sewn on the white cloth like a Band-Aid, and the expression made by its black eyes and mouth is a bit fierce.

But as a white cloth Youyou, no matter how fierce it is, it doesn't seem to be really fierce, it looks more like it is deliberately pretending to be fierce.

This guy was also wearing a pair of red boxing gloves, which was the focus of Shi Li's attention.

【Ghost Boxer】

Balanced, 10 points, C

Attack 10, 100/100

[Door Wide Open - Passive]: Youyou Boxer cannot [Defend]

[Bluff - Passive]: Youyou Boxer cannot [Attack]

The source of this card is the ten thousand card pool of [The Way of Balance].

The reason why I chose it in the first place was very simple, and it was also because it was fun.

"Youyou Physique should be relatively easy to deal with, maybe you can really make a card like a boxing glove."

After setting up the batch preview in his mind, Shili closed his eyes.

Soon, the results were displayed one by one.

"Well, there really are."

Among these results, he found an answer.

【Youyou Boxer】+【Destroyer Talisman】=【Youyou Boxing Gloves】

With one more word, the card projection is completely different.

"Hahahahaha, this is fine!"

Seeing this result, Shi Li couldn't help laughing.

This [Destroying Spirit Talisman] is an E-grade material card, and it was given to him by Ah Qing.

Ah Qing took Slime out to sell the spoils that day, but the price offered by the specialty store couldn't satisfy her.

So at the instigation of Slime, it sold all the spells to Slime.

As a result, Shrem turned around and gave the spell to everyone, and even Ah Qing received a new copy, which was really dumbfounding.

Unexpectedly, today, the mistake played a role.

"But can this card really have a purification effect?"

Seeing this card, Shi Li hesitated.

【Youyou Boxing Gloves】

Balanced, 10 points, C

Attack 10, 100/100

[Fist of Generosity - Passive]: Youyou Boxing Gloves cannot [Defend]

[Fist of Benevolence - Passive]: Youyou's boxing gloves cannot [attack]

In fact, except that the projection changed from Youyou wearing gloves to only a pair of gloves, the specific effect of the card surface has not changed at all.

"Let's give it a try."

With the mentality of trying, he previewed this card and [Martial Monkey] together.

"Tsk, it really did happen."

The previewed results made him frown.

On the projection of the card surface, there is no change at all.

The imaginary picture of the monkey putting on the glove did not appear, but the card actually changed.

The monkey in the projection is more like a human being.

Instead of hanging his hands on the ground, he stood up straight with his hands behind his back.

The name has also changed a little bit.

【Martial Monkey】

Balanced, 20 points, C

Attack 20, 100/100

[Game-Passive]: Martial Monkey cannot [Defend] and [Attack]

[Reverse Attack - Passive]: When the Wuhou is attacked, it will immediately attack the target once

First of all, this card was downgraded to a C-rank card.

Then the two skills [Fist of Generosity] and [Fist of Benevolence] were merged.

It may be because the original [Martial Monkey] had an entry that could not be [defended].

The [penetration] that I most wanted to get rid of was indeed solved.

"Well……"

Looking at this card, Shi Li began to think about gains and losses.

This card is not completely useless like [Ghostly Boxer]. Although it cannot take the initiative to attack, it can counterattack by being hit.

And the advantage is that the previous counterattack attack power is halved.

Let's do a calculation first and make assumptions.

Suppose [Martial Monkey] takes the initiative to attack once and is attacked once.

Then counting the [Penetration] damage, the total damage is:

(15+7.5)+(7.5+3.75)=33.75 damage.

Take the initiative to attack 1 time, get hit 2 times, the total damage is:

(15+7.5)+(7.5+3.75)+(7.5+3.75)=45 total damage.

Take the initiative to attack 1 time, get hit 3 times, the total damage is:

(15+7.5)+(7.5+3.75)+(7.5+3.75)+(7.5+3.75)=56.25 total damage.

"Tsk... If you do the calculations like this, [Martial Monkey] is quite powerful just from the statistics."

"If you get hit twice in a round, you can hit 45 points, which is very strong."

"It's just that the damage is too scattered, and the sense of reality on the poker table is not very good."

Facing the answer to the math problem, he tilted his head.

Let’s take a look at the new version of [Martial Monkey].

Assuming [Wuhou] is hit once, the counterattack damage is 20 points.

After being hit twice, the counterattack damage is 40 points.

After being hit 3 times, the counterattack damage is 60 points.

If within 1 round, if [Martial Monkey] is hit 3 times, then its output will exceed [Martial Monkey].

It doesn't look like a loss.

"Overall, there are pros and cons to each."

"[Martial Monkey] needs 30 points, but it has 10 points of damage reduction from [Body Expert], so it can withstand more attacks."

"[Martial Monkey] only needs 20 points, the survivability is much weaker, but it can save 10 points for the deck."

"My card deck is currently [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] is basically a must-have card. She has 40 points. If there is a 20-point [Martial Monkey], it can lower the score line even better."

"For example, if I played [Martial Monkey] today when I was playing Pharaoh, I could save 10 points, and the trump card would be [Iron Rod]."

"So the score of the deck must be controlled."

After reaching the conclusion, he clapped his hands together.

Snapped!

The palm of the hand overflows with light, and the card is completed.

"Don't worry about survivability, I'm best at addition."

As one of the first choices for the first line of cards, being unable to [defend] is the shortcoming of [Wu Hou], but he has a way to solve it.

[Martial Monkey] is only a C grade, there is plenty of room for improvement.

So he lay down again on the seat, and he started the preview.

"Yes."

Soon after, Shi Li opened his eyes again.

One of the recipes caught his attention.

【Martial Monkey】+【Disease Stone Eater】=【Martial Monkey】

This [Disease Stone Eater] is not the one that was used to play cards with Huayulu before.

It was another one he encountered in the zero mark of [The Way of Balance].

Unlike the previous stone-eating beast with albinism, that stone-eating beast is blackened all over, but it has the same name.

【Disease Stone Eater】

Balanced, 20 points, D

Attack 20, 100/100

[Petrochemical Disease - Passive]: When the HP of the diseased Stone Eater returns to 0, it becomes a [Stone Statue]

It is also a petrification disease, but it is another manifestation of the effect.

Let's take a look at the result of rubbing this card with 【Martial Monkey】.

【Martial Monkey】

Balanced, 20 points, B

Attack 20, 100/100

[Game-Passive]: Martial Monkey cannot [Defend] and [Attack]

[Reverse Attack - Passive]: When the Wuhou is attacked, it will immediately attack the target once

[Stone Monkey-Passive]: When Wu Monkey's HP returns to 0, it becomes [Stone Monkey]

This [Stone Monkey] is the essence.

【Stone Monkey】

Balanced, 0 points, D

Attack 0, 60/60

[Immediate-Passive]: The stone monkey remains in the state of [Petrochemical]

([Petrochemical]: The target loses the ability to move, and the damage is -10 when attacked this round)

It can be seen from the surface of the card that this is a second-level summoning card.

However, Shi Li felt that it was actually [Wu Hou], because the original labels were still retained, such as the Kung Fu brand label.

You need to know what the biggest effect of the first row of cards is under normal circumstances, and that is to take damage.

Although [Stone Monkey] has no attack power, it can carry it.

It can be regarded as [Martial Monkey] this card has 160 blood points, and the last 60 points also have damage reduction.

Isn't this better than the previous [Martial Monkey]?

Well, let's analyze the specific situation.

Facing different opponents, the degree to which the two cards can be carried is different, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

But Shi Li felt that his goal had been achieved.

The potentially harmful automatic [penetration] is eliminated, and the output ability of survivability is not considered damaged.

Can handle and output, this card is still the best.

So clap your hands.

hum!

The palm of the hand overflows with light, and the card is completed.

"call……"

Shi Li, who finally fulfilled his wish, heaved a sigh of relief.

"Stone Monkey, Stone Monkey, I won't turn this card into something like a great sage in the end, right?"

Playing with [Martial Monkey], he came up with such an idea.

Walking out of the association, Shi Li was satisfied.

When he was leaving, he happened to run into Gong Ping again. This guy abused a few newcomers today, and he was satisfied.

Shi Li thanked again and said goodbye.

Both parties still forgot to report their names.

After returning home and having a full sleep, I went to the Xiu Pai Museum the next day to meet the curator Xiu.

Shi Li gave all the income from the previous dungeon to the other party, and currently still owes 1W.

Director Xiu had already heard that he lost to Wang Defa, so he expressed great regret.

In the next few days, basically nothing happened.

Perhaps because of the upcoming arrival of the Lanlan City delegation, the trials on their side suddenly became quiet.

None of the contestants initiated a kick-off.

Because taking too much cooling potion will have side effects, so this time Shi Li waited for the cooling time of the dungeon with peace of mind.

After the final time cool down, he was ready to go to [Way of Chasing the Wind].

Compared with the [Way of Equilibrium] that has been opened up, the [Way of Chasing the Wind] that has not been opened up must be more profitable.

Before departure, Mushroom came to look for Shili.

As a representative of everyone, it came to send him a copy invitation.

Because Slime got a dungeon crystal from nowhere.

The dungeon is called [Mythical Three Kingdoms].

As soon as the name sounded, it gave him a very, very long feeling.

After further questioning, the time ratio is actually 1:30.

It is 10 times as much as [The Way of Balance] and [The Way of Chasing the Wind].

In contrast, of course Shi Li wanted to go to [The Way of Chasing the Wind].

So he rejected their invitation and agreed to be together in the next instance.

So just like that, he entered the [Way of Chasing the Wind].

[Copy key detected]

[The copy is opening...]

hum...

The figure blurred and swayed, and he disappeared into the room.

The line of sight changes, the body lightens and then the feet are down to earth.

Shi Li was already standing in the pure white space.

[Please choose, the power of the card for your trip]

Accompanied by the melodious mechanical sound, panels appeared in front of him one by one.

There are a total of 7 boards floating in front of you.

They are [Balance], [Rage], [Wisdom], [Firmness], [Breaking Potential], [Chasing the Wind] and [Listening to the Wind].

"Let me think about it, what card power should I choose this time."

Holding his chin, he fell into thought.

"According to the experience of [The Way of Balance] last time, the most suitable card power for the Way of Chasing the Wind may be [Chasing the Wind] itself."

"Or the balance is not paired, so [balance] is suitable for [the way of balance]."

"I feel that the one that may be more restrained in [The Way of Chasing the Wind] will be [Listening to the Wind]."

"But it's my first time opening up wasteland. The most important thing is to go further and see further."

"From the perspective of survival, [firmness] is the first choice."

"[Equilibrium]'s 6 inscription effect is to share the life value, and the life preservation is also very strong."

After thinking about it, he finally decided to choose [Power of Firmness].

[Way of Chasing the Wind] Right, the young master is here.
