Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

"You kid is back!"

Curator Xiu showed joy, and slapped Shi Li on the shoulder.

Shi Li didn't answer, but just waved his hands, and then sat down on the sofa with his body sunken.

tired.

1 day outside and 3 days inside, since he passed [Zero Pass Ten], his feeling is just one word, tired.

The following levels are more difficult to beat.

That is exhausting and time consuming.

"Thanks for your hard work. Opening up wasteland [The Way of Balance] is really tiring."

"Especially when you have to start from scratch."

Secretary He handed over a bottle of functional nutrition drink.

As someone who has experienced it, he has a deep understanding of the difficulty of opening up wasteland.

Although [The Way of Balance] belongs to the dungeon that does not require eating and drinking, Shi Li still took the drink and gulped it down.

There may not be any relief in the mental aspect, but when the cold liquid flows through his throat, he feels comfortable and his fatigue seems to subside a little.

"It's the first day now."

After taking a breather, he relaxed physically and mentally, so he asked.

In the later stage, I lived in a muddle, just playing cards all the time, and lay down when I was really tired from playing, with almost no specific concept of time.

"Today is already the sixth day of your entry, which means that you should have been in the dungeon for nearly 18 days."

Secretary He looked at the time: "It is estimated that the players from other card halls will arrive soon, and they have already visited once 3 days ago."

"How is it going, is it going well, what is your zeroth level boss?"

At this time, the director of the show came up to ask with great interest.

"A giant dollop of lava ice cream."

Shi Li replied.

It's been a while since he captured that guy, and he almost can't remember.

Curator Xiu: "Huh? Stone-eating beasts?"

Secretary He: "Hiss..."

The two looked at each other, showing a little seriousness.

It just so happened that they had also encountered a stone-eating beast before, and they knew that that guy was really difficult to deal with.

In the first stage, it is necessary to fight the tentacles to output the boss, and in the second stage, it is necessary to get stuck for 10 rounds and kill the boss to enter the third stage.

If it appeared in the third and fourth hurdles later, it would be even more perverted.

So when the two of them heard that Shili's zeroth level boss was a stone-eating beast, they were immediately pessimistic about it.

"So have you hit it?"

So Secretary He asked cautiously.

If he hadn't even passed zero or ten, he could have predicted that Shi Li's trip to [The Way of Balance] would be a bit worthless.

You must know that the dungeon key of [The Way of Balance] has its own CD, even if the player takes drugs, he cannot re-enter in a short time.

"Of course I did."

Shi Li thought about it for a while, and told them the general process of his time.

"Correct choice, playing that thing is indeed [Balanced Power] is a more common way of playing."

Curator Xiu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and nodded: "You can do it, you figured out the strategy by yourself."

At the beginning, she pounced on that guy many times.

In view of the dignity of the players, [Balanced Way] rarely has a strategy outflow.

Even if there is a strategy, most people choose not to look for it.

Unless you are desperately abused, you will look for the relevant BOSS strategy.

The problem is that even if you read the guide, it is still unknown when you will meet the same boss next time.

"What about the boss of the first level? Have you seen it?"

At this moment, Secretary He asked again.

They are stuck in the fourth level because the mobs in each level will be more difficult, and every game is like fighting a boss.

However, the level of difficulty between the zero level and the first level is not so great. If you can beat the level of ten bosses in zero level, theoretically at least you can see the level of ten bosses in level one.

"I see, that thing..."

Mentioning this matter immediately plunged into memory.

The one level ten style that I encountered this trip is the fairyland Tiangong.

The entire map is in the Immortal Palace in the Clouds, and the monsters are all kinds of monsters or fairies.

Instead, he received a wave of good demon cards.

The final boss is an alchemy old man, [Poison Immortal Lord].

[Poisoning] with one hand is extremely powerful.

The more he narrated, the uglier his expression became.

Obviously, it was a bad memory.

"It's nothing, you're already very good if you hit [One Level Ten] on your first instinct."

"That poisonous old man is really hard to deal with, but it's normal if he can't beat him."

Seeing his expression, curator Xiu comforted him.

"I didn't say I didn't fight, did I?"

Shi Li raised his head, showing a trace of bewilderment.

"Is the strategy the one with 15 inscriptions [The Power of Listening to the Wind], which can relieve negative states?"

"[Poisoning] Well, it will be much easier to fight after you get rid of it."

He stated the core of his strategy.

In order to be able to get 15 inscriptions, he also replayed the zeroth level again.

In order to get more starting balance points, you can buy suitable inscriptions and spell cards at the very beginning.

"...Huh?" x2

Director Xiu and Secretary He's mouths were both open and closed.

15 Ming Tingfeng is indeed the best solution for [Duxianjun], but...

But it's the first time he entered the capital, and he has passed the first hurdle?

"Then what is your progress now?"

After recovering, Secretary He asked.

"it's here."

Shi Li didn't say much, took out the dungeon key and squeezed it lightly.

hum!

【Second Pass Nine】

Three clearly projected characters radiated from the key crystal.

"call……"

Seeing these numbers, Curator Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm afraid you said you even passed the second level."

"Indeed, this will make us look like useless people."

Secretary He smiled wryly beside him.

"No, no, no."

Shi Li signaled the two not to underestimate themselves: "Just being able to get to [Second Pass Nine] is already quite difficult."

What he said was not a lie.

After reaching the second level, the difficulty of those little monsters has increased significantly.

In addition, the inscriptions need to be collected again, so the first few stages are particularly difficult.

I fell on the elite monsters in [Second Level 5] several times.

Not to mention the boss of [Second Level Ten], I've only seen it once, and it's still unclear.

My only [Second Pass Nine] record was also refreshed there.

In general, Shi Li felt that he basically had a B-level deck, which was actually not too bad.

In terms of strength, at least hitting the second mark is definitely not a problem.

But one of the key points is that he doesn't have a good PVE deck.

The special PVE card group is very weak on the PVP table, but it will shine in the dungeon.

The second key point is that I am not familiar enough with various inscriptions, resonance effects, and spell cards.

In this dungeon, he has encountered many repeated inscriptions, which means that the number and types of inscriptions may not be as many as he imagined.

In the same situation, there are spell cards.

So he still lacks a lot of concepts about how to match inscriptions and how to match spell cards.

The next time you enter [The Way of Balance], you will definitely perform better.

Knock knock.

Just then, a coach knocked on the office door.

"Huh? Coach Shi, you finally showed up."

Seeing Shi Li, the coach frowned: "The group of players who kicked the hall have arrived at the gate of the hall, and are waiting for you."

He came here to report this.

Director Xiu and Secretary He looked at Shi Li at the same time.

Now that it has come out of [The Way of Balance], the deck should be stronger than before.

If Shi Li is willing, he can fight right now.

"Let them go back first, just say that I don't go to work, and I really don't go to work."

Shi Li waved his hand, motioning for the other party to help drive them away.

As for himself, he directly put his feet flat on the sofa, preparing to take a rest for a while.

"good."

The coach looked at him, then nodded and left.

"What are you going to do now?"

Secretary He looked at Shi Li.

If you don't challenge this time, it means that the deadline will be 3 days later, and you will have to fight at that time.

"I... want to go to the association to take a class, about rubbing, oh no, a formal class about card making."

Shi Li expressed his previous thoughts.

He encountered a bottleneck in card shuffling.

No matter how good the quality and compatibility of the cards are, the preview results of A-level cards cannot appear.

Perhaps, I need some serious theoretical knowledge.

"But in terms of card making courses, it's not every day."

Director Xiu was familiar with the situation in this area, and said with a frown: "There are relatively few professional teachers, and they are usually arranged by the association to travel back and forth between cities to teach."

"I checked the latest class schedule, and there are no license-related courses."

Her words undoubtedly disappointed Shi Li.

"Or, are you interested in shuffling the cards?"

"Today happens to be the card shuffling class, which is the kind that teaches everyone how to shuffle the cards."

"Tomorrow, it's a card building class, such as building a pyramid, building a domino array, and so on."

"These two courses are the only ones I've been taking lately. Most of them are card back carvings, teaching players how to make their own card covers."

Then she recommended a bunch of messy courses to Shi Li.

"..., your three courses are really useless."

Shi Li was speechless.

"Oh, you want something with practical value, so tell me earlier!"

Unexpectedly, the director of the show also admitted that shuffling and building cards is useless, so he introduced it like a cannonball.

"Other professional skills, there are also courses in the association."

"Hair cutting, cooking, gardening, tailoring, skydiving, excavators, reversing into storage, debugging and installation of air conditioners, escape and surrender of the driver..."

"etc."

In the end, Shi Li interrupted the other party.

He pressed his forehead, feeling a little confused.

Is this a New Oriental branch school? But New Oriental doesn't teach skydiving, does it?

By the way...

I have always been called the association, and it seems that I have never really cared what the full name of the association is.

"Association...isn't it the Players' Association?"

He felt that for so long, he seemed to have misunderstood.

Show Curator: "Of course, of course the Players Association."

Shi Li: "Then why are there these messy classes..."

Director Xiu: "The association serves poker players. Since there are poker players who want to learn, they will naturally arrange corresponding courses."

Secretary He: "I heard that the association in the next city even teaches how to fall in love and chase boys."

Shi Li: "Girls chasing or boys chasing."

Secretary He: "All of them."

Shi Li: "..."

There are too many clans in the Cube Universe, and even though it has been several months, Shi Li still has not been able to adapt to these diversity.

"If it's just some common sense theories and introductory courses, you don't actually need to take professional courses at all."

"You can go directly to the reading library of the association to check the information."

At this time, Secretary He gave him a very useful suggestion.

"That's right, the responsibilities of the association are so complicated, how could there be no library."

Shili hammered his palm.

"Then are you going now? I just happen to be going to the association's air-conditioning installation base today, so I can drop by for you."

Curator Xiu hooked his hands and said.

"..., so you are the one who wants to learn how to install air conditioners!"

"You don't have too many skills. If you are expelled from the cube card universe and exiled to some original world, maybe you still have the ability to beg for food."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go."

Finally, under the urging of Shi Li, the two came to the underground garage, and headed to the association in Director Xiu's suspension sports car without a steering wheel.

After arriving at the association, Shi Li parted ways with Director Xiu.

When he came to the library, he was frightened by the sight in front of him.

It looks like an ordinary gate, but when you walk in, you find that its area is as big as a sports field, no, it should be bigger than a sports field.

What came into view was rows of tall bookshelves, and the bookshelves were full of all kinds of books.

The covers and spines of the books form colorful blocks that dazzle the eye.

In the quiet atmosphere, there is a mysterious atmosphere, as if there is infinite wisdom and knowledge here.

Like the forest, but also like the sea.

For a moment he didn't know where to start.

"This is your first time here, young man."

The librarian who was standing by the door saw his expression with a smile in his tone.

This administrator is a mechanical race, like an iron pier, with no feet and only crawlers.

The voice system uses aunt's voice, and the face on the electronic screen is also aunt.

"It's indeed the first time I've come here. I didn't expect the association to have so many books."

Shi Li nodded in acknowledgment.

"The most famous place in our city is the library."

"It has a long history. It is said that it is a big treasure that existed in the early days of the Cube Universe."

"This qualification is enough to crush the libraries in other surrounding cities, and even in the balanced area, they are all ranked high."

"At the beginning, the association was built around this library. It can be said that there is this library before the association."

The administrator introduced it proudly.

Regarding this point, Shi Li had never heard of it before.

"Are you looking for books related to cards, or are you looking for other books?"

"Card-related."

"Oh, it's easy to find, 95% of the books here are not related to cards."

"..., shouldn't it be more reasonable for 95% to be related to cards?"

Shi Li couldn't help complaining.

"Actually, if you have a clear goal, you can directly use the computer to search."

The administrator pointed to a row of computers next to him: "All the books in the library have already been entered into the electronic system."

"Of course, if you are a fan of pure paper, you can also browse through human flesh."

"Sometimes, you might be able to find some little secrets."

The aunt on the electronic screen blinked.

Because the years are long, there will always be some caring people or mischievous guys who put something in physical books or bookshelves, waiting for someone who is destined.

This is one of the reasons why their library keeps paper, which is a feature.

So under her recommendation, Shi Li rode an intelligent robot with a guiding function into the depths of the bookshelf, and began to search slowly.

In fact, as the administrator said, there are really few books about cards here.

Riding the intelligent robot, he went all the way to the end of the library, only to see the area with the words [Cube].

"Are there any books on card making?"

He asked about the robot.

[Little B is searching for you]

The robot hesitantly calculated, and then moved the wheels.

Stopping in front of a 2-meter-high bookshelf, a probe protruded from its case to project a projection.

As a result, on the bookshelves on both sides, the spines of dozens of books were marked with red light.

【Tag making, books, a total of 183 books】

[Here, quantity, 23 copies]

[Yes, go, next, bookshelf]

"Is there any book suitable for beginners?"

Shi Li continued to ask, but after thinking about it, he changed his words: "Is there anything about making A-level cards?"

[A level, card, theory]

【locking】

da da da da...

The sound of running in the case sounded, and one of the books not far away was marked by a heavier red light.

So Shi Li walked to the book, only to find that the bookshelf seemed to have been out of care for a long time, and a lot of dust had accumulated on it.

"You... don't you usually do cleaning and maintenance?"

He looked back at the intelligent robot.

【work, default】

【fishing, paddling】

【Please keep it confidential】

"It's really smart enough, maybe it will be able to play cards after a while."

Shi Li looked at the robot, a little speechless.

However, it is not uncommon for intelligent robots to awaken their personality and wisdom in the Cube Universe.

A Tubo is not an example.

And this is an inclusive world, as long as they really wake up, there will naturally be a special person in charge of docking and teaching them how to become a real "human being".

Looking back at the book recommended by the robot, the book is not too thick.

The title of the book is quite straightforward: "Basic Theory on Making A-Class Cards".

Patting the dust on it, he reached for it.

But I found that the book was squeezed by the books on both sides and stuck tightly.

It took a little effort to break it off.

Because the book was jammed so tightly, this force seemed to have touched the tight structure of the original bookshelf.

Shi Li felt the bookshelf in front of him shake slightly.

Clap!

Then, something fell from the top row of the bookshelf.

"Um?"

Shi Li looked down subconsciously, and found that what fell on the ground was a small yellowish hard-covered book.

Bending down to pick it up, nothing was written on the cover.

This tactile feeling is very rough, and it should be a long time ago.

Thinking of the administrator's introduction before, he opened this little book with curiosity.

On the title page, there are four big characters written.

""A Jun Diary"?"

He read it unconsciously.
