Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

Resting in the card hall for a few hours, waiting for Mushroom and the others to get off work, Shi Li followed him back home.

Today's Mushroom and Straw Man also have a little money on hand, and the income from dungeons alone is enough to support themselves.

However, they are used to this kind of work rhythm, and they can enjoy social welfare subsidies at work, which can save a lot of money, so they have no plans to play poker full-time for the time being.

According to Mushroom's statement, it is due to the fact that the straw man has a job, otherwise this guy may endanger the society if he is released.

As for the two guys, Shrem and Ah Qing, they just go shopping and play around all day long, highlighting that they are idle and don’t go to work. Anyway, they have enough income to support them.

Shili is the middle point between the two factions: they have jobs, but they don't go to work.

While everyone was there at dinner time, he expressed his idea of ​​forming a team to play the game.

The dungeon key in his hand is a 5-player dungeon, and the upper limit is just at LV12.

In the last instance, Ah Qing didn't upgrade, and the experience value was still a little bit short, so it was still LV12.

Regarding Shi Li's proposal, everyone expressed no opinion.

Their dungeon cooldown has ended since the last dungeon.

It was because Shi Li took a bottle of medicine that he downloaded an extra dungeon.

However, taking drugs continuously is not good for your health, so he plans to wait for a few days before taking another drug.

I am quite satisfied with the current team composition.

Slime is the mascot, responsible for increasing the income for everyone.

Ah Qing is a porter who can provide various small props and bring back precious materials.

The straw man has recently strengthened his training, and after entering the dungeon, his body must be more suitable for coolies.

As for mushrooms... it should be useful someday.

Mushrooms:?

In this way, the days that followed were relatively easy.

When Shi Li has nothing to do, he will go to the card hall for a walk, and if he is in a good mood, he will take a few classes.

Or go to the curator's office to lie down, the sofa there is very comfortable to lie on.

That night, Shi Li was dragged to the club by the curator of the show.

They stayed on the top floor for a while, the kind of casual stroll.

On the top floor, Shi Li saw Gong Ping's figure.

Last time on the top of the snow mountain, he woke up after being unconscious for half a day, still alive and well.

After that, Shi Li never saw each other again.

But today, his complexion is quite normal, but it seems that he is not very happy in the club, and he is a bit humble.

Almost every few steps I have to call someone "big brother", it feels like my waist is broken.

Without greeting Gong Ping, Shi Li and Director Xiu finally went down to the second floor.

The architectural style of the second floor is similar to that of the Colosseum on the Blue Star, and the theme is the arena of entourage cards.

"Why, want to play something else today?"

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Director Xiu took himself to the second floor.

"That's not true. Recently, I'm not interested in follower card PK."

"The main reason is that I made an appointment with a friend here today."

Curator Xiu spread his hands.

When passing by last time, what Shili saw was a huge arena.

However, the club didn't seem to organize any large-scale arena activities recently, so it was transformed into relatively small arena rooms.

At this time, a competitive battle is taking place in the arena closest to the elevator exit.

This arena is a tropical rainforest scene simulated by holographic projection.

Through each screen, you can see what is happening inside.

Shi Li noticed that on one of the screens, there was a tyrannosaurus beast quietly lurking in the jungle relying on the protective skin color.

Not far from it, a mecha robot with a strange shape is approaching.

There are protruding spikes on the body of the mecha, and the blue light of electric current is emitting from the spikes.

When all the spikes were charged, the current formed a blue net on its surface.

【Roar! ! ! 】

After the mecha entered the attack range, the tyrannosaurus beast rushed out.

The mecha reacted immediately, and pulled out two sophisticated energy weapons from the weapon warehouse on its back.

Then a series of laser beams were fired at the tyrannosaurus beast.

The tyrannosaurus beast was shot by the laser beam and let out a painful scream.

However, it did not give up, but continued to rush towards the mecha.

The mecha reacted quickly, activating its backup weapon system.

Whoosh~ Boom!

A cluster of rockets shot out from the robot's shoulders, blasting the tyrannosaur beast to pieces on the spot.

Similar battles don't just happen in one place.

This is a multi-entry PK. Through the split screen above, you can immediately see a fierce battle unfolding in various places in the jungle.

Both the mecha group and the beasts are very powerful, and they are attacking each other with all their strength.

The mecha group launched various attack methods such as laser beams, rockets, and electromagnetic pulses.

But the wild beasts were nimble, dodging these attacks and fighting back with their own sharp claws and teeth.

This is not a real battle, but a duel between follower cards, so the strength of these beasts is not inferior to the mechas, and they can even directly shatter the metal mechas when they catch a flaw.

As the battle continued, the beast side gradually gained the upper hand.

In the end, the beasts took the opportunity to launch a final attack, wiped out all the remaining mechs, and won the victory.

After the battle, the depths of the virtual jungle returned to silence.

The parts of the mecha were scattered all over the place, and the beasts showed a victorious gesture.

The entire jungle resounded with the roar of the beasts, as if they had regained control of the land.

"Don't say it, it's quite interesting to watch."

Shi Li stood in the auditorium, still in the aftertaste.

"Well, anyway, the guy I was waiting for hasn't arrived yet."

"Do you want to find a place to play two games?"

The curator of the show suggested.

"also."

Shi Li nodded, in fact, he was still a little interested.

I heard that in some dungeons, follower cards are the most important combat power.

But he has never had the opportunity to experience, commanding follower cards to fight freely.

The copy of tower defense does not count, it does not belong to free battle.

"This kind of medium and large-scale battle is not suitable for a novice like you."

"Let's go, I'll take you to a smaller venue."

With that said, curator Xiu led Shi Li to the depths.

Soon they came to a minimum spec arena.

The area available for battle is only about the size of a basketball court.

At this time, they were in a closed small room at the outer end of the arena, the operating room.

"First step, you need to connect your own card system to the terminal."

Director Xiu immediately swiped his membership card as he gestured, and then pressed his hand on the palm-print-shaped touch interface on the console.

[Beep beep! 】

At that time, Li kept his hand on the interface for 5 seconds, and the screen of the console turned on.

One by one his card information was temporarily read on the screen.

However, in order to protect the privacy of the players, these cards only have names and projections, and no specific card faces.

"This arena is a single follower duel."

"First of all, you have to choose which follower card to send to participate in the battle."

Director Xiu introduced.

"Of course the strongest is chosen."

Shi Li clicked [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] without hesitation.

[Baa Zha~Hey! 】

As a result, the holographic stereoscopic projection of the goat and rabbit immediately popped up from the console.

There is no difference from the appearance on the poker table.

"Now, can I manipulate her into playing?"

He turned to look at Director Xiu.

"Don't worry, you can take a look at her panel first."

"The battle strength of the arena reflects the data, which is different from the poker table."

With that said, curator Xiu helped Shili open the panel.

【Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit】

Attack: 82

Agility: 75

Defense: 34

Health: 60

Belongs to: Poshi

Overall Rating: 251

Skill: [Double Link]

"As expected, it is an A-level card."

Seeing this panel, the curator's eyes lit up: "The full score for each item is 100 points, and the general score of B-level cards is about 180 points."

"Your follower card is just a blank board, and it is enough to be evenly matched with those armed B-level cards."

she said so.

"But there is only one skill."

Shi Li frowned.

【Er Lian Jue】: Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit strikes twice at a very fast speed, making the target stunned for a short time when hit

Moreover, this skill is not as detailed as the description on the poker table, it is a relatively vague and general rhetoric.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to install equipment cards and spell cards for her, and the problem can be solved."

"Equipment cards, like the ones in dungeons?"

It seems that this follower card arena is more fun to play than he imagined.

"That's right, here your follower card can carry two equipment cards and two spell cards."

"The concept of an equipment card is similar to that of a dungeon equipment card. After being equipped, it can improve the quality of the card and give it a passive ability."

"Spell cards are randomly selected from your deck, and then one of their active skills can be turned into a spell and given to followers."

Director Xiu introduced.

"I see."

Shi Li said he understood.

It feels a bit like a universal card game with a higher degree of freedom.

After thinking about it, he called out a card, 【Knife Mantis】.

There is only one skill that can be selected by this card.

[Bright Qi Blade Slash]: Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit shoots a medium-sized Qi Blade forward

"Oh~ it has become a long-range attack method, and it doesn't look like a berserk skill anymore, it doesn't consume blood."

"According to the energy recovery rules of the Potential Breaking System, wouldn't it be possible for the Qi Blade to continuously fire if it hits all the time?"

Shi Li's eyes lit up, and he used [Sword Mantis Lady] as a spell card, and put it on [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].

"A+B, it should be very powerful."

Curator Xiu nodded: "Generally, in this kind of arena with a single follower card, the card will have a survival-oriented spell."

Hearing her suggestion, Shi Li took out the [Flower Jade Deer] again.

[Flower Fragrance]: Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit surround themselves with flower qi and receive continuous small healing

Curator Show: "If you have selected both spell cards, you can choose equipment cards."

When it came to the equipment card, of course Shi Li took out his royal weapon first.

[Mysterious Iron Rod]: The user's physique has been greatly enhanced

This one is of course good, so equip it.

"Even if it's not equipment, it can be installed, and it will be automatically modified into equipment."

Hearing what the curator of the show said, Shi Li chose [Monk] as the last one.

Equipped with [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit], this card turned into a bracelet made of large wooden beads, which looked quite suitable.

[Monster Qi Buddha Bead]: Attacks increase the threat to ordinary creatures

After finishing everything, the panel of the sheep and rabbit has been greatly strengthened.

【Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit】

Attack: 82+20

Agility: 75+5

Defense: 34+5

Life: 60+10

Belongs to: Poshi

Overall Rating: 291

Skills: [Erlian Jue] [Bright Qi Blade Slash] [Flower Fragrance] [Mysterious Iron Rod] [Monster Qi Bead]

"It really didn't disappoint me. With a total score close to 300, even if your follower is managed, you might have a winning rate of more than 60%."

The curator of the show nodded when he saw it.

"How about we play a game?"

Looking at the goat and rabbit with an iron rod in one hand and a Buddhist bead in the other, Shi Li wanted to test his strength.

"Stop making trouble, if I go to the opposite side, who will guide you."

The curator of the show waved his hand.

It's very boring to abuse vegetables and fry fish.

"Don't worry, we just need to wait for a while."

"I just clicked 'Welcome to Discuss' before I came in. Someone will definitely come in when they see it."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Director Xiu finished speaking, a red light lit up in their room.

This means that the opponent's room has already entered, which means that preparations can be made.

"Look, whatever you say, come and prepare for battle."

So she smiled.

Waited like this for a few minutes.

hum!

Another green light came on.

"The other side is ready, you put on the holographic control helmet."

She picked up a half-covered helmet from the side of the console.

"This thing allows you to control follower cards through brainwaves, or telepathy."

"As for whether you want a first-person perspective or a third-person perspective, it depends on your personal habits, and you can adjust it yourself."

There is a short antenna on the helmet, and it is also equipped with output goggles, which can directly see the picture in the arena.

"Can you use the second person?"

Immediately put on the helmet.

"Don't be poor, do you want to look at your follower cards and beat yourself up?"

Curator Xiu tapped the helmet with his knuckles angrily.

But don't tell me, she has heard of fans in this area.

It is the kind that uses the second person to manipulate the follower cards.

But this is a regular club for all ages and it doesn't offer that.

hum!

As Shi Li adjusted everything, the third yellow light came on.

This means that the follower cards of both sides have been connected and will appear in the arena soon.

"Okay, you have fun."

"I'll just watch from the side and try not to disturb you."

Curator Xiu walked to the side and watched through the screen.

In order to facilitate instant adaptation, she helped adjust the original venue for this round.

It is the simplest arena paved with stone slabs and big bricks.

hum!

A beam of blue light fell, and the goat and rabbit appeared on the ring.

hum!

Another beam of light followed, falling on the other side of the ring.

Curator Show: "Huh?"

At this time, standing opposite the sheep and rabbit was a creature with a very strange shape.

It's an animal that looks a bit like a wolf-fox composite.

The fur is fluffy, shaped like clouds and cotton, and it comes in eight colors.

The seven colors of the rainbow plus the blackness of the dark clouds, eight colors.

【Interesting, is the opponent this time a beast ear girl?】

From the public speakers in the arena, a slightly immature voice, who could not tell the difference between male and female, sounded.

Hearing the other party's words, Shi Li's sitting posture was obviously stagnant.

"There is a speaking function on the helmet, which is also activated by brain waves."

Fortunately, curator Xiu reminded him.

【Hello】

So he responded curiously.

【Hello, hello, wait a moment】

While talking, he manipulated the eight-color wolf-fox card and ran to a corner of the ring.

I saw it raised its hind legs and trembled towards the corner of the ring.

Crackling!

A thunderbolt of electricity shot out like urine.

【You are...】

Shi Li expressed his puzzlement.

[A little metaphysics before the opening, don't worry about it, Bocai! 】

Saying that, the eight-color wolf fox ran to the second corner again.

Crackling!

third corner.

Crackling!

fourth corner.

Crackling!

After the four corners of the arena had been visited, the eight-colored wolf and fox returned to their original positions.

If Shi Li read it correctly, it even seemed to have a satisfied expression on its face.

【Okay, let's start】

That end finally said.

【OK】

Shi Li nodded, but just as he was about to give the goat and rabbit an order, he suddenly saw lightning lights up at the four corners of the arena.

Crackling! x4

Four bolts of lightning shot towards the sky above the ring, condensing into a disc made of blue light.

Then……

Boom!

The thunderbolt, which was thick enough to cover half of the ring, directly bombarded the sheep and rabbits and the eight-colored wolf and fox.

Everything in the line of sight is obscured by the electric blue light.

hum...

Shi Li felt his helmet vibrate slightly, and then a line of text jumped out of the goggles.

【The battle is over, you lost】

"this……"

He was a little confused.

[Woo ha ha ha ha! How about it! Surprise! 】

The triumphant laughter sounded from the opposite side, proving that this is its masterpiece.

"It turns out that it's not metaphysics at all. I've been fooled."

Shi Li understood.

"..."

He who was wearing a helmet didn't see that the curator next to him was wiping his forehead.

This battle without experience made Shi Li open the communication voice again.

【You succeeded this time, come again】

[Okay, Bocai! 】

So the two sides came to power again.

Shili is still the sheep and rabbit, and the opposite is still the eight-color wolf and fox.

As a result, the opponent didn't use any tricks this time, and defeated Shi Li in an upright manner.

【The battle is over, you lost】

【come again】

【Good~】

【The battle is over, you lost】

【come again】

【Good~】

【The battle is over, you lost】

【come again】

【Good~】

As a result, Shi Li got better and better, and he couldn't win no matter what.

After losing more than a dozen games in a row, he suddenly remembered something.

"Sorry, curator."

Taking off his helmet, he looked at Director Xiu: "I forgot about the game, has the person you were waiting for arrived?"

"Uh...here we are."

The curator of the show didn't know how to explain: "It's right across from you, my friend."

"Opposite? You mean..."

Shi Li paused for two seconds before reacting.

It turns out that the person who has been torturing him is the friend of curator Xiu.

"That's right, that's it."

"And this guy didn't use the main body of the follower card just now."

Curator Xiu smiled helplessly.

"?"

Shi Li remembered that she had introduced before that if players wished, they could also equip cards in person and enter the arena in the form of projection.

In other words, that friend's body is a eight-color wolf fox?

...

...
