Chapter 45: Last Place in the Upper Bracket
So this time, Lin Xi plans to find some "normal" players to challenge, and the opponent or something is temporarily exempted, and in addition, he urgently needs to reconfigure the deck, so as not to be seconds at the beginning of this game.
In fact, for that kind of high-level waiting card, in fact, it is not completely impossible, as Lin Xi said before, in the real world, Lin Xi has many ways to crack this pause, so the same, only need to write these cracking methods into cards.
For example, the time protection card, to protect the user will not be paused for a certain round, according to the level of the card, the initial level can protect one round, the intermediate level can protect two rounds, and so on, then the effect of the waiting card can be resolved.
However, although the effect is relative, the energy consumption of the two is really unbalanced, and the source power consumed by the time protection card is at least twice as much as that of the waiting card of the same level, and only when it is made into diamond quality, it can barely be kept at twice the line.
It's frustrating, but if you don't have this card, you'll only be defeated by your opponent in three rounds of waiting.
Fortunately, Lin Xi is not the only one in the multiverse who will make these two cards, otherwise Lin Xi may need to sell the time protection card to ensure that the game is close to balance.
But to be honest, the longer he has been a card maker, the more Lin Xi feels that this card game is not balanced at all, and many times the gap is so big that it is very perverted.
However, there are indeed a lot of lives from selling cards, at least Lin Xi came to participate in the Card King League this time, the purpose is to promote his card shop, other parts, championships or something, let's pay a respect.
In addition to adding time protection cards to the deck, Lin Xi found that a good deck does need to have a lot of connections between the cards, such as how to combine the Gundam cards, or with a lot of cultivation cards, generally many powerful magic weapon items, only in the hands of the cultivator can exert real power.
Of course, under normal circumstances, even at the level of the temple group, there may not be many people who will configure the Xiuzhen type card deck, at most they will place some magic weapon type item cards in the card deck.
The reason is also very simple, the higher the cultivation, the more source power will be consumed when it is manufactured, even the current Lin Xi cannot guarantee that a cultivator in the Enlightenment Period will be created in an instant, let alone the higher the realm.
This also leads to the fact that many source players can't make a cultivator even if they exhaust the source power output for a round, so often the creature cards of the cultivator type are "chicken ribs", and novices will not match them in the deck.
Therefore, Lin Xi will not sell the corresponding type of cards normally.
As for the Gundam class, although Lin Xi often receives such orders to make screws or steel plates or cannonball warheads, but as far as Lin Xi's personal feeling is concerned, the output area of the Gundam class is still not wide enough, although they are already powerful weapons for conquering the universe.
Lin Xi wanted to put together a deck that would work together in many ways, so he found a multiclass plane.
The reason is also very simple, Lin Xi needs to record the data of these multiple professions, and then he can write these data into the card, otherwise even if he is a "legendary card maker", he can't make something out of nothing.
Multi-class planes, in fact, are not very demanding, melee physical attackers, ranged physical attackers, spell attackers, spell defenders, these four things are enough, and their data is made into a set of twelve cards.
It seems to be only one-tenth of the whole deck, but Lin Xi can divide the same kind of cards into stars, such as melee fighters, and can make three kinds of stars, seven stars, eight stars, and nine stars, so that the number of cards in the whole deck increases to thirty-six.
Then each class is equipped with the corresponding item cards, as well as support skill cards, and in total, there are as many as sixty or seventy cards, accounting for half of the total number of cards.
At this time, you can't increase the number of cards of the same type, otherwise there will be a situation where the routine is too single and easy to be restrained after multiple games, so you should leave a place for forty or fifty cards to replace them at any time according to the situation.
Theoretically speaking, the effect should be quite good this time, but the level of dimensional force found by Lin Xi is not high, even if he is a high-level upper source, the creature card created can only reach a high-level one-star, and such a card is easy to defeat when encountering an opponent like Tan Wei.
So even with the current deck, Lin Xi still doesn't plan to challenge the "opponents" officially designated by the tournament.
Find other contestants to score points.
At first, Lin Xi didn't know that during the period of entering Tan Wei's plane, he realized that the contestant badge could provide the location information of other contestants, so that the contestants were prone to competitions.
It's just that there are still many contestants who are the same as Lin Xi at the beginning, and they don't know this function, or some contestants are too lazy to find other contestants, so there is still a need for a fixed position but powerful opponent.
Soon, Lin Xi relied on this function to find nearly eighty contestants in this hall, get these fifty points, and start to qualify for the finals of the hall.
These more than 80 fights have indeed proved that ordinary players and opponents are far behind.
There are about two hundred contestants who have entered the finals of the palace, and I feel that the pressure is even greater than that of the points competition at the beginning, and most of these people are opponents, in desperation, Lin Xi also feels that he should change the main card.
After all, as mentioned before, his set of more than sixty main cards, the highest creature card is only a high-level one-star, and it can't bear the high-star creatures of the opponent at all, so it is imperative to match a new set.
In terms of items, there is no problem, Lin Xi's arsenal is full of items, so he only needs to replace the thirty-six creatures.
Lin Xi found another multi-class plane in this hall on the spot, the requirements are the same, melee range, physical spell support is indispensable, the same thirty-six cards, but this time the lowest twelve also have three stars.
As for the conflict with these high-level creatures in the process of copying data, needless to say, Lin Xi's shield is indeed too meaty now.
From the time of setting up a new deck to returning to the tournament, it is actually about less than a second in terms of the scene, and in some ways the source is really quite convenient.
The format of the finals is divided into two stages, the first stage is the group knockout round, where more than 200 participants are divided into 20 groups, and then the players in the group take turns to compete, and the top few points will be able to enter the next stage.
However, perhaps the organizers of the Card King League also feel that the card game of the source is unbalanced, so those players who were eliminated in the first stage still have the opportunity to participate in the repechage, enter the lower bracket, and compete with the players eliminated in the upper bracket in the second stage of the competition, and if they win, they still have a chance to return to the upper bracket and have a chance to win the final victory.
Although Lin Xi is not a professional, he still got the top ranking in the group stage and directly entered the normal group of the second stage, but there is a rumor about this format, that is, he would rather enter the lower bracket than be the last few in the upper bracket.
It's a pity that Lin Xi happened to be the third from the bottom of the winner's group.
In fact, this rumor refers to the kind of ordinary players or teams that are not well known, and there is a great chance of falling into this embarrassing position after the group stage, but theoretically speaking, it is definitely better to enter the upper bracket than to enter the lower bracket, because as long as the player in the upper bracket has an extra chance, regardless of the ranking before and after the group stage.
So Lin Xi didn't have anything to be annoyed about, and adjusted the deck slightly according to the performance of the opponents in the previous group game, and continued to participate in the game.
In the second stage, only the top four players can qualify for the finals of the palace group, in fact, this position is enough for Lin Xi, if only the first place can participate, he does have a long way to stop at the finals of this palace.
The interval between the matches in the second stage has been extended to two days, and the upper and lower brackets are staggered from each other, which ensures that the spectators have a game to watch every day, and the players are not too tired to play back-to-back.
Therefore, compared to the previous points competition, the finals did not take much time, and it was not long before Lin Xi played.
Looking at the opponent, Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart, this person seems to have gotten the highest score in that group?
Although in the finals of the palace, the game between the two opponents is a best-of-three system, but under normal circumstances, only one game is needed, in fact, the gap between the two sides can be seen, and it has little to do with whether it is the first to do so.
Therefore, in Lin Xi's first game in the upper bracket, the opponent he met may be the same as Tan Wei.
Fortunately, this time Lin Xi drew the first move, he looked at the seven cards in his hand, there are two main cards, but both are non-physical ranged, and they can't be equipped with armor, and they can't be used in the first round, but if they don't draw cards like warrior cards in the next few rounds, then the mage cards released will definitely wash and sleep.
Therefore, Lin Xi did not rush to release the creature card, but first threw a high-level star fluorescent sword and put it on the field.
This sword is a high-level seven-star, but the special effects are gorgeous, but it doesn't have much lethality, and the only advantage is that when it is controlled by the source and attacks directly, the source power consumed is very small, and it is close to the level of being used by creatures.
So without ambiguity, Lin Xi directly ordered the Star Fluorescent Sword to attack the opponent, and then the round ended.
The damage of this sword is really not high, and if this sword goes down, it will also knock out the opponent's durability of less than ten percent.
However, the opponent still had a solemn look on his face, as if he didn't expect that this kind of high-level seven-star item card could actually attack immediately in the embodied round.
Unlike what this person thought, Lin Xi felt that this sword was very weak.
