This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 362 - 333: An Absurd Turn of Events in the Card Game
"Every time he manages to play a card that counters perfectly."
"Doesn’t that just mean he’s well-prepared?"
"Exactly! Even if you were playing with his cards, you probably wouldn’t have made it this far."
"Did you guys notice something scary? He’s made it all the way here, and his trump card hasn’t been revealed once..."
"Now that you mention it, that does seem to be the case."
"This can’t just be luck anymore."
"I heard his last 17 points are actually hidden in a super strong S-level card."
"What?! An S-level card?!"
"Shh! It’s just a rumor!"
"They say once he reveals his 17-point card, he can instantly wipe out a row of opposing cards."
"Instantly wipe out a row? That’s insane! Isn’t that stronger than the [Rock General]!"
"You’re wrong; I heard once he reveals his 17-point card, all his own cards will revive."
"Wipe the slate clean, all resurrected?!"
"I heard once that card is revealed, the opponent’s trump card will automatically explode."
"That’s ridiculous..."
Finally, the discussions grew increasingly mysterious.
But one thing everyone agreed on: Mo Saike’s card-playing skills are top-notch.
"Ouch!!!"
Just then, a cry of pain drew attention.
Everyone looked towards the sound and saw Chang Shoushang clutching his leg, sprawled on the ground.
Li Pu stood nearby, hands in his pockets, looking down at Chang with a sense of authority.
"What’s going on?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"I... I think I saw Mo Saike kick that guy."
"But aren’t they supposed to be teammates?"
"To turn on a teammate with such force over a minor disagreement, what’s going on here?"
As a result, Li Pu gained another reputation: not only is he a skilled card player, but he’s also very ruthless.
"Is it done?"
Li Pu asked.
"Done, done. Thanks, junior."
Despite sweating from the pain, Chang Shoushang felt his leg injury was healed.
"Be more careful next time."
Li Pu shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.
Just as he was exiting the audience area, he heard some peculiar whispers.
"Being his follower is really so humiliating..."
"Exactly, being kicked hard and still saying thank you."
"This person is too cold, downright heartless."
Li Pu paid no attention to it; he wanted to hurry to the market before it closed.
Besides the materials needed for the contract with Ugly Little Wolf, he wanted to see if there were any suitable cards.
I have to admit that today’s players and the recent match with Shi Zhen put a lot of pressure on me.
If he could find suitable cards or card materials, it was best to collect them.
With significant strength enhancement leading to increased Spiritual Power, his [Card Creation] now doesn’t have the long cooldown it once had.
On average, he can fuse about two cards in a day, nearly doubling the efficiency.
...
In the evening, at the team leader’s dormitory.
Li Fan and Hidekura Ka were having a drink at the table.
"Speaking of which, your student plays cards quite well."
After a few rounds of drinks, Hidekura Ka recalled the day’s tournament.
Many cards in Li Pu’s hand were ones she hadn’t seen before, but she never really valued mushroom-type cards, so she hadn’t studied them much.
"That’s obviously because I taught him well."
Li Fan smirked, looking as if it was the most obvious thing.
"Haha, you’re still so full of yourself."
Hidekura Ka drank some more wine and continued, "Speaking of which, the Cubic Card Association contacted me recently, asking me to recommend some platinum-ranked newcomers for the Cubic Card sub-system slot selection."
The Cubic Card sub-system, as the name suggests.
Is an alternate world dominated entirely by Cubic Cards, where all battles are card games.
Often, you can obtain some cards or nurturing materials as a reward.
"Slot selection, is it card playing against the association’s robots again."
Li Fan heard this and raised an eyebrow, "This could be a good opportunity for him."
"If his performance is smooth enough, he should reach platinum rank after this tournament."
He speculated.
"Alright, I’ll get a machine from the association to send to you later."
Hidekura Ka nodded.
...
Outside the venue, in the market, Li Pu successfully collected the necessary materials according to Li Fan’s plan.
It cost almost 50,000 Crystal Coins total, not too expensive.
The remaining task was to look for any attractive cards.
Unfortunately, after a full round, he didn’t find anything suitable for his needs.
Before he realized it, he arrived at the Skill Light Group Store where he previously traded cards.
"Boss, how’s business?"
After thinking for a moment, Li Pu went in to say hello.
Though he asked, it was apparent from a glance that the shop was as quiet as usual.
"Oh, it’s you."
Upon seeing Li Pu, the middle-aged shopkeeper with a pipe in his mouth brightened his eyes, "How about it, looking to sell some rare cards today?"
"No, not short on cash these days."
"I’m looking to trade some cards."
Li Pu thought perhaps the shopkeeper had something he wanted.
"Didn’t you already trade last time? Did you acquire more cards recently?"
The shopkeeper, hearing this, looked slightly disappointed.
They had traded everything useful last time.
"This time... I want to trade rare cards for cards."
Li Pu expressed his intention.
The shopkeeper had offered a batch of ordinary cards last time.
Ordinary to the point they almost couldn’t be played in a game, mediocre and weak.
It’s clear that with the shopkeeper’s collector enthusiasm, he must have a lot of good cards he can use tucked away.
"Oh? Have you thought this through?"
The shopkeeper put down his pipe immediately upon hearing.
"Yes, but I only want deck series cards."
Li Pu’s focus was clear.
After all, while [Card Creation] has a cooldown limit, strengthening a few cards within a deck series to make it stronger is feasible.
But trying to create an all-new deck similar to the Mushroom Legion within these few days would be difficult.
Now everyone knows he uses mushroom cards, so it’s smart to prepare several other deck series for surprise tactics.
"Deck series, huh? You’ve come to the right person."
The shopkeeper chuckled and put on his mechanical gloves.
"Tell me, what level do you want?"
"Like average C-level, or B-level, that kind."
As he spoke, he began organizing his card sets.
Since the two had worked together before, a foundation of trust existed, so the shopkeeper was willing to first show his cards for Li Pu to select slowly.
Once chosen, they could discuss the trading terms.
"Uh, average C-level will do."
Li Pu thought about it; B-level decks seemed excessive, fearing his trading chips might fall short.
"Right, and some unusual or powerful individual B-level cards, I’d like to see as well."
He added one last note.
"Sure, no problem."
"Then take a look at this deck first."
The shopkeeper nodded, swiped his hand across the counter, and displayed six cards.
[Rock To Rock!] x6
The projections of these six cards looked almost identical.
Round rocky bodies paired with stick-figure-like limbs.
"What a coincidence."
Li Pu had just played a match against Shi Zhen’s rock-themed deck, and now he saw a rock-themed deck here.
"Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji Stones."
Before Li Pu could examine them closely, the shopkeeper began to introduce.
"Their origin is a secret mountain in the Tai region."
"I found it by chance while exploring other places."
"I’m not sure if others know the location of this mountain, but I named it Living Stone Mountain."
"The magical beasts there aren’t very strong, but the quality of the cards is quite decent."
"I explored the mountain thoroughly and found there were only these six types of beasts."
"But it seems fortunate that the cards they produce complete a set."
He first shared his experience and the cards’ origin.
...
