Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

As for the other one to be dealt with, it was [Gourd Cub].

Among his main cards, the only ones that are more suitable for it are [Twin Stick Goblin] and [Snake Hand].

After previewing these three cards, I found that [Diaoshou Snake] is not compatible with [Gourd Cub] at all.

Only [Twin Stick Goblin] is suitable, maybe because they are all short.

So clap your hands.

hum!

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

The projection of the card is still the Goblin holding the double stick.

【Twin Stick Goblin】

Balanced, 20 points, C

Attack 20, 100/100

[Philippine Mystery - Passive]: Double Goblin's attack ignores [Defense]

[Dwarf Law - Passive]: When the Double Stick Goblin is attacked by a target whose attack power is higher than his own, damage -10

As a card that ignores [Defense], it is bound to be vulnerable to focus fire.

So there is a damage reduction entry for self-defense, which is also very good.

Regarding this card, there is a way to improve its score immediately.

Increase the score, that is, increase the attack power.

Just ignore the entry [Defense], and it's fine when paired with 20-point cards.

Once the score goes up and the attack power goes up, there will be compensatory negative effects.

He has seen many "Ignore [Defense]" cards with 30 points or more have negative effects.

Even I have the most typical [Sword Mourning] with 40 points and 40 attacks in my hand, ignoring [Defense] + losing 30 HP every round.

Even if it has its own health bonus and recovery, it is difficult to fill the hole of automatic blood loss.

A little rubbish, such as the B-level 20 points and 20 attacks [Infiltrating Slime] that Curator Feng took out before, ignores [Defense] + Attack Power -10.

Perhaps, Shi Li guessed that maybe only the top-notch, almost supermodel 30 points and 30 attack cards can ignore [defense] at no cost.

"Okay, the harvest of this wave is actually not small."

"In the next few days, work and rest to adjust the state."

"In the next stage, I am full of confidence."

Looking at the time, it was quite late.

sleep.

...

During the 5-day rest period, Shili basically spent at least 8 hours a day on the simulated poker table.

Under the arrangement of Curator Feng, many coaches from the Balance Card Gym came to practice with him.

Some of the coaches are great.

Especially the most senior coaches, who have been immersed in Cube for many years, have formed a quite distinctive and powerful poker table style.

Even if Director Feng met these few people, he would be respectful and respectful.

According to his words, if he was only on the simulated poker table, he would not be able to beat these players.

One or two of them were even contenders for the position of curator at that time.

The only difference between them and Director Feng is the depth and strength of the deck.

There are many reasons for this phenomenon.

Some are really too immersed in the pure poker table, or on the simulated poker table, and even don't like to play dungeons.

Some are only good at playing cards, but not very good at dungeon matters, so the efficiency of earning money is low.

Some of them really have bad hands and rarely get good cards, and their spirits are worn down over time.

Therefore, if you want to become a good poker player in the true sense, you still need to work hard on dungeons.

These senior coaches are all seriously biased.

Of course, there are also unbiased ones.

I heard that they are all working as curators in other branches in Lanlan City, and their simulation card table skills are also very strong, but due to the busy work, there is no chance for Shili to meet them.

There was only one day out of the 5 days. He spared an afternoon to play with Feng Xiaohu and the others.

And Feng Xiaohu and his group of guys said they wanted to play, but in fact they didn't drop much in terms of effort.

Their practice time is not less than that of Shi Li, but they sacrificed some rest time for fun.

In the last 2 days of the rest day, I also restrained somewhat.

The 5-day rest was over, and everyone came to the association early in the morning according to the schedule.

The rules and arrangements for this stage were sent to each of the advanced contestants through the communicator as soon as the dungeon match ended.

The dungeon competition is divided into 32 groups, and each group advances to 5 people, so the total number is 160 people.

The next second stage is the group stage.

The 160 people were still randomly drawn and divided into 32 groups of 5 people.

Then there will be a round robin within each group, and the top 2 will advance to the top 64.

If there is a situation where the record is tied in the group and affects the promotion, there will be an extra match.

At this time in the large meeting room, all 160 puppet light groups were still in place.

"Actually, looking back, it's really cruel."

Looking at this puppet light group, Qingyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There were still 3,200 contestants in the first round, but in the blink of an eye, there are only 160 contestants left."

In order to facilitate mutual identification, each small group will discuss in advance to use the puppet light group to simulate some small features.

For example, the small group on Shi Li's side is Feng Xiaohu + Hui Chun + Qing Yu + Ping Ju, and Xiang Qi.

The three of Xiang Qi are mainly because of the dungeon, so they are relatively close to Qing Yu + Shi Li.

In addition, I later participated in the tour under the leadership of Feng Xiaohu's tour guide, and I have already integrated into this group.

"The cruelest thing is that those players who were eliminated in the first round didn't even have the chance to play poker at the table."

At this time, Xiang Qi also shook his head when he heard Qing Yu's words.

"So, players still can't be biased."

Shester agreed.

"Wow, look over there, that guy is so arrogant."

At this moment, Ping Ju suddenly pointed to the middle of the conference room.

There are many small groups of players, and everyone uses the method of modeling and marking to identify each other.

But generally speaking, the style of the small light cluster has not changed much.

Only where Ping Ju pointed, there was a person sitting carelessly.

I don't know if the other party didn't use the puppet operation cabin, or directly used the puppet light group to simulate a complete appearance.

"Isn't that who?"

When Shi Li saw the attire, he looked at Hui Chun.

The ancient clothes, and the graceful shaking of the fan, can be regarded as quite vivid memories.

"Mo Dan, I want to shudder when I see this guy."

Hui Chun obviously recalled bad memories.

"Is it possible that someone else imitated his appearance and came out to spread hatred?"

Qingyu proposed an idea.

"Wait a minute."

Hearing his words, Shi immediately floated over, and looked at the front and back of the other party under the eyes of the other party.

Shi Mo: "?"

"It shouldn't be a fake. The details of many places are exactly the same as those encountered that day."

His memory is not bad, and a comparison will yield results.

Brother Shi Mo didn't even change his clothes.

Hui Chun: "Eh, you're not afraid of being remembered by him."

Shi Li: "What are you afraid of, he doesn't know who I am!"

Qingyu: "Don't say it, it's quite reasonable."

It has to be said that this act of casting magic is the only one present, which is very arrogant.

What does this show? It shows that the other party has full confidence, thinking that he doesn't need it at all and doesn't intend to hide his identity.

This kind of declarative behavior made the players on the scene pay more attention to it.

After a while, Sister Tuozi came in with a microphone.

[Every player, good morning everyone~! 】

First of all, she put on a second pose.

[I believe that everyone has read all the relevant information of the second stage during the 5 days of rest]

[In case someone didn't read it, let me repeat it now]

Next, Sister Tuozi began to read the rules.

After the group stage, there is the third stage of the game, the knockout stage.

Although the copy match in the first stage has little to do with the group stage in the second stage.

But the group stage of the second stage is closely related to the knockout stage of the third stage.

The 64 players who qualified in the group stage will be divided into two categories, that is, the first in the group and the second in the group.

After the 64 players are completely determined, they will be matched directly.

First place in Group A, against second place in Group B.

The first place in Group B, against the second place in Group A.

First place in Group C, against second place in Group D.

First place in Group D, against second place in Group C.

For example, if a player who advances in Group B thinks that the first place in Group A is too strong, he doesn't want to meet him in the first round.

If this is the case, this group B promotion player needs to do his best to compete for the first place in the group, so as to avoid collisions.

Or maybe the player in group B saw the strongest player in group A miss and fell to second place.

Then he needs to properly control his points and make himself the second place in the group, which can also be avoided.

In short, in the first round of the knockout round, the first in the group will not meet the first in the group, and the second in the group will not meet the second in the group.

After the first round is over, all the winners will stand on the same starting line and draw lots again.

[Okay, players]

[Then please move to the venue later, and draw lots under the witness of the audience]

After speaking, Sister Tuozi took the lead to go to the commentary stand to prepare.

"Guys, I hope we don't draw the same group next time."

Seeing the host leave, Qing Yu looked at everyone.

"Just shut up."

Shi Li said that the other party had better talk less.

He didn't forget that this guy belonged to the crow clan.

After waiting for about half an hour, the venue was ready.

Under the guidance of the staff, 160 contestants began to set off for the venue.

Perhaps due to the leading influence of Shi Mo, many players have chosen large-scale mimicry.

But they didn't necessarily draw up their own prototypes, and some people drew up beasts, maybe because they were addicted to the copy last time.

[Every audience, good morning! 】

While waiting in the player channel, everyone heard the voice of Sister Tuozi.

[I am very happy to be the host of this city's Sailanlan competition area, I am a camel]

【You can also call me sister hunchback】

[Next, I will introduce a heavyweight guest to you]

【He will be the commentator with me in the upcoming matches】

[I would like to invite the chief curator of Lanlan City Balance Card Museum, curator Feng! 】

[Everyone welcome! 】

[Hehehe, hello everyone, I am curator Feng]

Curator Yifeng's status in the card circle of Lanlan City is definitely one of the biggest guests.

[Okay, then I announce that the second stage is now officially started]

[Let us give the most intense applause to welcome all contestants to the stage! 】

Following the words of Sister Tuo Zi, Shi Li and the other contestants walked out of the contestant passage under the guidance of the staff.

For a moment, he felt surrounded by waves.

This venue is many times larger than the venue for the qualifying competition, and the auditorium is full of seats.

It can only be described as a sea of ​​people + a sea of ​​people.

In the center of the venue, there is a large transparent vessel.

It can be seen that there are many signed balls placed inside.

If I guess correctly, it should be exactly 160.

So according to the guidance of the hostess, the contestants took turns to draw their own numbers.

After the numbers were drawn, they all went to the player seats on the side of the field to sit down.

At that time, the small group also gathered together.

"Come on, come on, quickly show which group you have drawn."

As soon as they got together, Pingju greeted everyone.

As a result, everyone's reaction was surprisingly quiet.

He found that Qing Yu's eyes fell on Shi Li.

Some people want to meet Shi Li, such as Huichun.

But he was the only one present who still wanted to challenge Shili.

Feng Xiaohu + Qing Yu and the others didn't want to meet Shi Li.

Xiang Qi and the three who joined later did not play poker with Shi Li, but after hearing that Feng Xiaohu + Qing Yu had exaggerated too much, they felt that it was definitely not groundless, so they didn't want to meet him either.

The only thing I don't care about is actually Pingju.

Because he feels that there is a high probability that he will send it.

3 points for a group stage win, 1 point for a draw.

5 players cross battle, 1 person plays 4 rounds in total.

Even if all 4 rounds are tied, it is only 4 points. As long as others win two rounds, the points will be exceeded.

"Since none of you are willing, then I will come first."

With that said, Ping Ju unscrewed his signature ball.

【8-5】

It says his signature, No. 5 in Group 8.

"Hey, we're almost there."

Seeing someone taking the lead, Xiang Qi also showed his signature, [9-1].

Group 8 and Group 9 are two adjacent groups.

However, after qualifying, the 8th group was paired with the 7th group, and the 9th group was paired with the 10th group, so he said it was a little bit close.

Afterwards, everyone began to show their numbers one after another.

Feng Xiaohu: [3-4]

Fennel: [21-5]

Qingyu: 【15-2】

Shester: [11-4]

V-50: [28-1]

In the end, there was only Shili that hadn't been shown yet.

So far, none of the seven of them are in the same group, nor are they matched adjacently.

This result is a happy one.

Only Shili's signature is left, which has not been announced yet.

"Hehe, sorry."

As a result, Shi Li's words immediately made Feng Xiaohu's and others' hearts sink to the bottom of the valley.

No way?

Did I draw a team with him?

They are all beating drums.

There is one thing to say, 8 people choose 32 numbers, and the probability of choosing the same number is actually quite high.

"You are the one."

In the end, Shi Li turned his attention to Xiang Qi, and showed his sign, [9-2].

Not only the same group, but also met in the first game.

"Yeah yeah~!!!" x2

Among them, Feng Xiaohu and Qing Yu hugged and cheered together.

After all, the two of them are sisters and sisters, both of whom were violently raped by Shi Li.

This pervert is not in the same group as himself, everything will be fine, who cares whether other people live or die.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Shester and V-50 were infected, and she couldn't help secretly rejoicing.

"cut."

Anise Chun curled her lips.

Only Xiang Qi's complexion was a bit ugly.

"Hehehe, don't scare me."

"No one knows whether it is a mule or a horse before it is served on the table."

He told himself aloud.

But even the player representatives from Lanlan City didn't want to meet him. This guy must have real strength, right?

Do you want to find some information?

At this time, Xiang Qi thought of it in his heart.

As a city representative, of course there is a logistics team behind him.

If you know your opponents ahead of time, it may not be too difficult to get their table history.

But at this moment, he saw Shi Li floating towards him.

"Have a good game, and then we'll finish first or second."

Shi Li stretched out his hand and touched Xiang Qi's shiny head.

"this……"

Now, Xiang Qi couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Look at the attitude of others, what was I thinking just now!

No competitive spirit at all!

Yes, fair play!

Then we will present you with a wonderful poker game!

"good!"

After thinking it over, Xiang Qi nodded heavily.

"Hello, are you there?"

However, he saw that Shi Li had turned around at this time, and dialed the communicator: "Help me investigate a guy named Xiang Qi, yes, that's the name."

Xiang Qi: "???"

"Why are you looking at me like this? This is a game, and off-court factors must be used."

Shi Li acted like it was a matter of course.

"It's probably useless for you to investigate him, he will definitely play a brand new deck."

Qing Yu directly warned Xiang Qi, but she already had some understanding of Shi Li's way.

"It's not because of your crow's mouth!"

Xiang Qi was slightly annoyed.

However, their schedule for Group 9 is relatively late, and they still have enough time to prepare.

[Okay, now the players have drawn lots! 】

[Let us begin to welcome the official arrival of the group stage! 】

[The two players from Group 1 were the first to come on stage and give us a wonderful game! 】

[No. 1-1 and 1-2! 】

Accompanied by Sister Tuozi's announcement, the two contestants walked out of the contestants' seats.

In order to facilitate the commentary, the group stage also enabled the code name function of the puppet.

At this time, the code names on the heads of the two players followed their own code names in the dungeon.

Of course, if you want to change the code name, you can do it at any time.

However, some code names that are too excessive or not suitable for the stage are officially not allowed to be used.

Not long after, the two players came to the designated area on the edge of the field.

In order to improve viewing, all the scenes on the poker table will be holographically enlarged and projected on the entire venue, allowing the audience to have an immersive experience.

Even the two contestants were also projected and magnified.

At this time, their simulated state is like a giant standing in front of everyone.

One of them simulated himself into the appearance of a fire elemental person.

The other was modeled into a human being, wearing an ancient robe, a hat, and a jade belt around his waist with a sword attached to it.

I don't know if this is the original appearance of their bodies.

"It's kind of weird..."

But when Li's eyes fell on the human projection, he felt that something seemed familiar.
