This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 383 - 344: Second Round Major Update

"Uh..." x2

Li Pu and Ah Yajun faced each other in silence for a moment.

Version update.

It’s a super big deal that will shake the entire card game circle!

The last time was just a "small" revision and it already changed the card circle significantly. Now they say it’s a "large" revision, how could that be?

"Goodbye!"

The first to react was Ah Yajun, who closed the door and hurried away.

The main reasons are twofold. The first is to meet up with his teacher immediately when faced with such an important event.

The second reason is that he fears another light orb of card skills might appear above his head.

Likewise, Li Pu also started staring at his head.

Jiang Guiju and Chang Shoushang lost their card skills in the last update since they didn’t have any summoned beast/magic beast lineage.

But for him, this time more light orbs might appear.

It’s not like before, Li Pu is no longer a complete newcomer to the card circle; he believes he can fully understand the version update information now.

So, in this tense atmosphere, information gradually surfaced in his mind.

[Update Rule One, cancel card defense attribute]

[Defensive actions, change to halve the damage received]

[Adjust card attack power appropriately]

"This is freaking great news." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

With this news, Li Pu exclaimed in joy.

He’s been playing so much that his brain almost can’t keep up anymore.

All day he has to calculate the addition and subtraction of attack power and defense power, sometimes also calculating the reduction rate of [Defense].

It’s okay when there’s only one or two cards, but when the number of revealed cards increases, it becomes a chaotic mix of addition and subtraction.

It makes one’s head spin.

Overwhelmed, he’s feeling exhausted and tired.

Now, with the retention of the [Defense] action, the tactical maneuvering in the game remains, but it greatly reduces the computational load, which is a good thing.

And although defense is canceled, it adjusts to be more balanced.

Because in Li Pu’s view, the scraping mechanism was actually a bit unbalanced.

At first glance, its purpose is to counteract the situation where a single high-stat card dominates a bunch of weaker cards, but actually, it’s somewhat biased.

Let’s give a simple example.

Card A: 3 points, attack/defense 1/2

Card B: 5 points, attack/defense 3/2

Without considering other interfering factors, the ultimate result of the duel between Cards A and B ends in a draw.

A 3-point card, how can it duel evenly against a 5-point card? This is imbalance.

But among this, Li Pu feels there is another issue.

That is, if odd attack powers like 1, 3, 5 are [Defended], could it make the opponent’s life points end up as decimals like 0.5?

Fortunately, the second piece of information provided him with an answer.

[Update second rule, all card life points in the game increased to 10 times their original value]

[Adjust card attack power appropriately]

"Makes sense too, after all, decimals do look a bit untidy."

Li Pu agrees with this one.

Both the first and second rule updates mention appropriate attack power adjustments; he will see the specifics later.

So far, Li Pu doesn’t feel these are "major" changes.

"Canceling defense" seems less significant compared to the previous round’s update of "adding [Defense] action".

So he guesses, the real big change is yet to come.

Indeed, as expected.

[Update third rule, add a substitute phase before the reveal phase]

[Players can replace any face-down cards based on actual situations, but the total card points in the game remain unchanged, and the trump card’s designated position remains unchanged]

"Whoa."

Upon hearing this, Li Pu was directly stunned.

What does this mean? Does it mean that other players can also use [Substitute]?

And it sounds even more advanced, as cards with different scores can be swapped?

It’s important to know that [Substitute] is one of his current two trump cards.

If everyone can [Substitute], then he is left with only [Crafting] as his advantage.

Rushing to open the panel, Li Pu was shocked to discover that his [Substitute] was really gone, completely erased.

It seems it conflicted with the new substitute phase and was forcefully removed.

"Never mind, that’s alright."

After thinking for a moment, he soon accepted the reality.

Being the only person who could [Substitute] seemed a bit too unreasonable and uninteresting to win.

After all, with the [Crafting] method at his disposal, he already has a substantial advantage.

Through this recent cube card tournament, he realized this more deeply.

After all, [Crafting] is able to specifically get the card he wants, much more efficient than other players who gamble in the magic beast area, fishing in the vast ocean to assemble decks.

However, what Li Pu didn’t know is that the next piece of information is great news for his [Crafting].

[Update fourth rule, introduce a new card mechanism]

[Cards will be classified into seven categories]

[Please explore the specific situation on your own]

"Seven categories?!"

Jiang Guiju, who had been quietly listening to the information, exclaimed at this moment.

Adding a classification to the cards is truly a significant change.

And Li Pu was more direct, casually drawing out a card to browse.

"What the hell."

Yet with just one glance, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

[Blue Mushroom]

Wisdom, 6 points, D

Attack 10, 100/100, 3/3

The original [Blue Mushroom] had a skill, but now it’s gone.
