Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

Shi Li got into the car and found that Wang Defa and Ping Ju were also there.

It turned out that not only he was picked up by the special car, but also two other representatives of the card shop industry.

The car is spacious and has a lot of space.

Shi Li greeted the two of them and sat down.

At this time, the three of them were still amicable.

Because according to the competition system of the selection competition, before the start of each round, lots will be drawn to determine the opponents and the order of appearance.

Players from the same industry have a protection mechanism, and they will not be drawn as opponents in the first three rounds.

"Director Wang, Coach Shi, this competition will depend on your performance."

On the way to the venue, Ping Ju said to the two with a smile.

He probably knows his own level and feels that it is more difficult to enter the top six.

After all, although the card hall industry is directly related to cube cards, this does not mean that players in other industries are weak.

"Haha, as long as they don't draw together in the next three rounds, it's fine."

Wang Defa was full of confidence, waved his hand, and planted a flag by the way.

With his status and level in this city, if he doesn't even get the qualification to qualify, he will be laughed out of his teeth.

The special car drove for half an hour and arrived at the venue to which the association belongs.

This venue is quite familiar at the time, it was the place where I participated in the Rising Star Competition.

The number of participants in that event was much higher than today.

But in the audience, it was the exact opposite.

Except for the semi-finals and the finals of the Rising Star Competition, the entire venue is sparsely populated.

Today, when Shi Li walked into the venue, he felt the atmosphere of crowds.

The auditorium is full.

"As expected, there is only one competition in several years."

Looking around at the packed auditorium, Ping Ju couldn't help sighing: "For ordinary people and ordinary poker players, the city tournament is already the biggest tournament."

"Three, please go to the player room to draw lots."

Under the guidance of the staff, they came to the meeting room.

The representative of the poker hall industry naturally received widespread attention from other players.

"Director Wang, long time no see!"

"Hello, Director Wang."

"Curator Wang, you have to be merciful to our subordinates later!"

Many people took the initiative to say hello to Wang Defa.

After all, in the card circle of this city, Wang Defa's status lies here.

Many players present were even explained by Wang Defa.

When they heard that Wang Defa was going to participate in this selection competition, they were all shocked and surprised.

More importantly, wouldn't 6 quotas be equivalent to a direct loss of 1?

Of course, some people looked at Shi Li and whispered.

"Have you seen that human boy? I heard that he is a lot stronger."

"He is the second player in the card hall industry this time, and no one can cure him except Wang Defa."

"So powerful, looks so young..."

"Oh, don't be fooled by appearance."

"Have you heard of the 1V10 at the entrance of the show hall?"

"Huh? It's him?"

The voices of those people became louder and louder, and Shi Li and Ping Ju came to the last row of seats and sat down.

"Huh... this atmosphere is not very pleasant."

Shi Li felt that they were almost becoming animals in the zoo, especially Wang Defa, who was directly surrounded by the greeting crowd, the kind who would sweat all over just shaking hands.

However, he found that there were a few people who were still sitting in their positions.

He didn't seem to care much.

"Did you find out?"

Following his gaze, Ping Ju also saw these people.

Shi Li: "What did you find?"

Ping Ju: "A competitor."

Shi Li: "?"

Ping Ju: "No, Coach Shi, you haven't even paid attention to today's opponents, have you?"

Shi Li: "Didn't it mean that whoever is drawn before the game, the logistics team of the card hall will provide us with information?"

Pingju: "That's true."

Shi Li: "Then why bother to understand in advance."

Pingju: "..., it makes sense for you to say that."

However, investigating the opponent in advance is to give oneself a bottom line.

So he simply told Shi Li about the consultation he had so far.

In the city's card circle, or in this year's 64 industries, there are 3 recognized leading industries.

The first one is naturally the card hall industry engaged in work related to cube cards.

In addition to Wang Defa's entry this year, he has been booked as the first person.

Therefore, the card hall industry has received a lot of attention.

The second is the club.

The city's service industry is well developed with a large number of employees.

But the line of the club is actually very small.

There are a total of 8 clubs in the city, distributed in 1 large and 7 small ones.

The big one is naturally the one that Shi Li often goes to.

I heard that this year, the club didn't even conduct internal trials.

Since none of the other seven companies participated, the club owner waved his hand and elected three people.

However, even so, the club is still a strong contender every year.

"Did you see that robot over there?"

While introducing, Ping Ju pointed to the contestant sitting in the other corner.

"This guy...is a bit strange."

Shi Li followed what he was pointing at, frowning slightly.

The other party is a silver humanoid robot, which is actually not uncommon.

After all, the robot clan is a big clan, and humanoid machines are everywhere.

But I always feel that the player's figure is a bit erratic.

"Because it's not an ordinary robot."

"It's... the Youyou Machine Race."

"Oh? There is such a race?"

Shi Li frowned, which was indeed quite unexpected.

"The new manager of the club in the past two years, hehehedada."

"..., can I complain about this name?"

"Oh, you can't understand the naming art of the machine race."

Ping Ju waved his hand and introduced him.

Different from those mechanical clans that Shi Li met in Jiaotong City, this manager of Hahadada is good at the Youyou deck.

According to his ranking, this manager of Hahadada was at least among the top five in terms of comprehensive strength in the selection competition.

At this moment, the manager of hehehedada seemed to notice the gazes of the two of them, and turned his head to look over.

Then he took off his mechanical head and raised it towards them.

"Is it demonstrating against us? It's like 'what to look at, and if you look at it again, I'll take your head off like this'."

Trying to read each other's body language.

"What are you talking about?"

Ping Ju said that he thought too much.

This kind of behavior is equivalent to a human's hat removal ceremony in the mechanical race, which is a kind of greeting.

It shows that the manager of hehehedada is quite nice.

"I see."

After getting the explanation, Shi Li nodded and gave the other party a middle finger.

"Shili, it's been a long time."

At this moment, a beautiful figure stood in front of him.

This is a winged human girl with wings instead of hands, young and tall.

"You are... Jing... Jing Yu."

Shi Li pondered for a few seconds, then slapped his head.

"Qingyu, it's Qingyu!"

Qingyu put her hands on her hips, a little annoyed.

"I'm looking forward to meeting you in the trials."

Ever since she lost the Rising Stars Competition, she has been thinking of taking revenge against Shi Li in public poker games.

Come here now, just to declare war.

"I lost to you last time because I didn't have the strongest deck!"

"And now I am different from before!"

"Wait and see you, hum!"

Leaving those words behind, Qing Yu turned her head and left.

"..."

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Shi Li shook his head.

Although this guy has a pair of non-human bird-wing arms, he is still very close to the human race as a whole and belongs to the humanoid race.

Humanoids are not eligible to live in his villa, which is reassuring.

"Coach Shi, do you know her?"

Pingju came over at this moment.

"It's not considered acquaintance."

Shi Li briefly introduced the process.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to have such a relationship."

"This Qingyu girl is indeed a new star that the association has rarely cultivated in recent years."

After listening, Ping Ju nodded.

Among the city's three leading industries, the last remaining one is the Cube Card Association.

Needless to say, the status of Cube Card Association in the circle.

If the many card halls in this city are just a union, then the Cube Card Association is a whole.

The competition in the previous city competitions mainly took place among the three leading industries, among which the Cube Card Association has the best record in history, even the card hall can't compare.

"The leader of the players in this year's association is Miss Qingyu, a young LV17 player."

"Oh? LV17?"

Shili himself was only LV13, but he didn't expect that the other party was already LV17, leveling up faster than himself.

It must be kryptonite.

"Because the player's talent is too strong, Miss Qingyu's cards are formed extremely quickly."

"In this trial, her comprehensive ability can be ranked among the top three."

Pingju stretched out three fingers.

If Shi Li remembered correctly, the opponent's player talent seemed to be inspired by a card.

The kind that can turn any card into a designated card.

As Ping Ju said, with the help of such a talent, players will be formed quite quickly in the early stage.

And it is very easy to make a complete set, even a deck with 10 identical cards.

Such a card group should be quite powerful when used to play PVE.

Similarly, PVP is not weak.

"Of course, others may not think so for the time being, but to me, Coach Shi, you are also among the top three."

Pingju added.

"Don't tell me, I really want to try her at the poker table."

Shi Li didn't care about the ranking or anything, he stroked his chin showing interest.

After waiting for a while, all the players finally arrived.

Then everyone began to draw lots.

The lottery that Shili drew was the 80th game, which was relatively late.

Today is the first day of the selection competition, only the first round, that is, 192 players, a total of 96 games.

Every 4 games is a simultaneous wave, and his ranking in the 80th game is naturally very low.

After the lottery was drawn, the contestants dispersed.

You can choose to wait in the comfortable lounge, or you can choose to go to the auditorium to experience a more enthusiastic atmosphere.

Shi Li's choice is to go to the auditorium.

Because the idlers who came to the scene on their own, waiting for Mushroom and his party, had already launched a series of fatal calls to him.

However, before he could get out of the meeting room, he was stopped by the staff.

"Teacher Shi, please follow me."

"?"

...

In the auditorium, Mushroom put down the phone, looking confused.

"That guy Shi Li, hang up the phone."

It reports to the straw men next to them.

"Does the game disappear at this time?"

Ah Qing raised his sign.

"Leave him alone, let's see, grass."

The straw man sipped the milk tea in a bucket, but he didn't care.

"Master, don't you think it's embarrassing to be with us, that's why you don't come?"

Slime also specially made a hairstyle today.

To be more precise, it is a head shape, because it has no hair.

"Not to mention, you are really ashamed now."

Mushroom stared at Slime's new hairstyle, as if to answer.

【Everyone, good morning everyone】

【I am today's host, Zhu Chichi】

At this time, the voice of the host came from the public broadcast in the venue.

Sure enough, the level of this selection competition is higher than that of the new star comprehensive competition, and there has been a host since the first round.

[Today we are honored to invite a guest]

【Come, please say hello to everyone】

[..., Hello everyone, I am Coach Shi from the Xiupai Pavilion]

"Fucking grass!"

"Mushroom!"

"Master!"

Hearing this voice, Yigu Yicao Yishi exclaimed on the spot.

"No wonder I didn't come, I went to the commentary station to play."

Ah Qing suddenly raised the sign.

[Coach Shi is the champion of this year's Rising Star Comprehensive Competition]

【At the same time also participated in the selection competition of this year】

[I believe that some loyal viewers are no strangers to him]

【Let's welcome Coach Shi once again】

[All the games played this morning will be explained by Coach Shi and me]

【Let's take a look at the list of 8 players for the first duel now】

[Table No. 1, Qingyu VS Akuba]

[Table 2, ...]

[Table 3, ...]

[Table 4, ...]

[These 8 players, coach Shi, what do you think? 】

After announcing the list, Zhu Chichi's CUE immediately came to him.

Shi Li: [These eight contestants...have one thing in common]

Zhu Chichi: [Oh? What unique insights does Coach Shi have?]

Shi Li: [I don't know them all]

Zhu Chichi: […]

Zhu Chichi: [Hahaha, I didn't expect Coach Shi to be such a joking poker player]

Zhu Chichi: [If I remember correctly, you had a duel with Qing Yu in the new star competition a few months ago, right?]

Shi Li: [Indeed, Qingyu player's deck should be very strong]

Shi Li: [The association arranged her for the first round, it should be to give a good start to today's competition]

Shi Li: [Huh? Why are you stepping on me?]

Shi Li: [Oh, the games of the contestants are arranged by random draw, and the association has absolutely no secret operations]

Shi Li: 【The emphasis is on fairness and justice. Is it okay for me to say this? 】

Zhu Chichi: 【Ahahahaha! Let's move on to an ad! 】

When the wheat was cut and the advertisement started to sound, Zhu Chichi immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Coach Shi, there are some things you can't say on the table."

"We're doing it live."

She smiled wryly at Shi Li.

"Sorry, I didn't know much the first time."

Shi Li also realized that he seemed too casual just now.

But there is no way, he is really not mentally prepared for this.

It was probably arranged by Secretary He, and he didn't even tell himself in advance, maybe he just wanted to see himself embarrassed.

Maybe that guy is snickering somewhere now.

As Shi Li expected, at this moment in a certain VIP box, the three managements of Wang Defa card shop, show card shop, and local equilibrium card shop gathered together.

"Xiao He, you arranged this."

Wang Defa asked Secretary He with a smile.

"Yes, it has already been arranged."

"But he didn't ask, and I didn't say anything."

Secretary He held a cup of coffee with a triumphant smile on his face.

At the same time, there are also gratifications.

Generally speaking, if you have no influence in the industry, you are not qualified to be on the commentary stage casually.

Even if Shi Li was the former champion of the new star comprehensive competition, he is not qualified.

And the organizers took the initiative to send out invitations a few days ago, which shows that the influence of their show hall has been greatly improved recently and has been recognized.

If Shi Li explained well, it would probably increase the favorability of the show hall.

[The game is over, Qingyu won]

As a result, when they thought this way just now, everyone suddenly heard Shi Li say so.

They looked at the big screen, and it was the match between Qingyu players at the No. 1 table.

It's just that the game has just begun, and the two sides have just unveiled the first row of cards and scene cards, so why did they declare it to be over?

【ah? 】

Obviously, Zhu Chichi on the other end was also stunned, and couldn't even answer the conversation for a while.

You are right to be optimistic about Qing Yu, but you don't have to say it so hard at the beginning.

This is a 9+1 game, and the advantages and disadvantages in the early stage cannot fully represent the direction of the game.

What's more, they have just unveiled their cards, and they haven't even moved.

Is it too early to draw conclusions like this?

【I've heard that Coach Shi is very good at poker and has been widely recognized in the industry】

【You talked about this at the beginning of the game, you must have noticed something through it】

[Could it be because of the four cards revealed by player Akuba that there are some big flaws? 】

[Or is there any mystery hidden in these four cards of Qing Yu? 】

[Please also ask Coach Shi to analyze it for us, let us learn and learn]

But Zhu Chichi reacted quickly.

Hearing what she said, everyone in the audience quieted down and listened attentively.

At the same time, following her words, carefully looked at the cards on both sides.

To be honest, none of them noticed anything unusual.

He even felt that Akuba's cards were more solid, and it seemed that he should be able to take advantage of this round.

So the instant conclusion made everyone even more curious.

After all, he came to such a conclusion because he saw some mystery that so many eyes did not see.

【cough cough】

So he immediately cleared his throat when he heard it, and said casually.

【No basis, just intuition】

"..." xN

【…】

【a ha ha ha! I can be regarded as heard it! 】

[Coach Shi is enlivening the atmosphere! 】

[You are such a funny poker player! 】

Such remarks are obviously unconvincing.

While Zhu Chichi was rescuing the field, he was also secretly crying in his heart.

At this time, the coach's level of playing cards is not up to me to evaluate and question, but he is definitely not a qualified commentary partner.

It seems that this morning, I will suffer.

However, neither Zhu Chi Chi nor the audience present would have expected that Shi Li was just beginning.

The next morning's commentary will develop in a strange direction.

And Shi Li will also make a name for himself in a way outside the poker table.

...

...

I said I would take a break last month, but I still haven't taken a day off until now.

Now, on the last day, I was almost able to make up 1,000 monthly tickets.

I also ask you big brothers to help out and save the children.
