Chapter 63: Are you related to the dealer?
Ran Xiaona's live stream.
All that training over such a long period of time paid off, and she successfully advanced to the final round.
But that's not her goal. At the very least, she wants to secure a top-three position and take control of the spokesperson role.
[I can't believe this streamer made it to the finals! Wasn't he supposed to be an entertainment streamer?]
[Haha, do you really think Ran Xiaona is just a pretty face? She's the number one winner in an offline entertainment competition!]
If I had Liu Bei and Lu Xun, I'd be amazing too! I could practically own the entire deck!
[It's also related to knowing about the competition beforehand. Didn't you see she only played 8-player mode for a short period of time, and didn't touch any national war mode at all?]
[Saying anything is useless; the skill is there, so why can't some people advance?]
[It would be best if the streamer could get a spokesperson to participate; the top three prizes are quite generous, and it'll be impressive to talk about it later.]
[Keep it up, host!]
The viewers in the live chat were discussing whether she could make it into the top three, with both haters and supporters, but Ran Xiaona couldn't see it.
The game has started.
In the first game, Ran Xiaona played the role of "Loyal Minister" and chose "Lu Xun" to enter the match.
The reason for choosing this general is simple: he's my main general, and he helped me win first place in the [National War] event.
On the other hand, it's strong!
With the defense of "Humility", you can safely retain key cards without worrying about the restrictions of "Forgetting Home" and "Taking Advantage".
And if she's lucky, [Lianying] will create miracles for her.
However, the requirements for equipment cards are quite high.
Enter the game.
Ran Xiaona was assigned to position 8, which is relatively far back, but the advantage is that she can make a preliminary judgment on the identity of the people in front of her by observing their moves.
The rebel's goal is simple: eliminate the lord. However, it's still early for her turn to play, so she can just watch the show for now!
In this game, everyone attacked very quickly. Jiu Shen's identity was [Lord] [Yuan Shao]. He immediately used [Volley of Arrows] to get a preliminary look at everyone's identity and hand.
Position 2 is occupied by Zhang Bucai, whose general, Sima Yi, did not attempt to conceal his identity and immediately activated his skill feedback.
What goes around comes around!
Stealing a card!
This series of actions also made Jiu Shen realize who the "traitor" was.
You like selling your blood, huh?
You like to steal cards, don't you!
Come on! [Create Something from Nothing: During your turn, use this on yourself to draw two cards!]
One [Iron Chains] card, one [Kill] card!
Activate the skill [Rapid Strike: You can treat two cards of the same suit as Arrows]!
[Archers! Fire!]
[Yuan Shao inflicted the first damage on Sima Yi!]
Activate skill: [Feedback]!
Sima Yi took away a Kill card and also disrupted Yuan Shao's hand, preventing him from using Random Attack.
"Sima Yi was lucky to get the [Kill] card, but now Yuan Shao has figured out who the [Rebel] is, so he probably won't hold back."
"Indeed, I can understand Sima Yi sacrificing his health to gain cards in the first round, but this is the second wave. Doesn't Sima Yi have a [Dodge] card in his hand? Why doesn't he use it?" Zitai also voiced this question.
Because it's from God's perspective, he can clearly observe everyone's hand.
Why aren't you using the [Flash] feature?
You'll have to use [Flash] sooner or later anyway, so keeping it around just increases the danger!
"I guess it's to prevent Yuan Shao from using [Kill], that's why it was saved for last. It's better to sacrifice some health to disrupt Yuan Shao's hand first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand several 'Ten Thousand Arrows'."
Su Keke shared her understanding.
However, some viewers in the live chat still disagreed with this statement.
This is really unnecessary. If I had left in the first round, now people would know I'm a traitor!
[This offline tournament champion's performance was just average, about the same as mine!]
[Being greedy is useless! You'll still die eventually!]
He also has a "Peach" (a lucky charm), so he shouldn't be worried!
[If the opponent doesn't kill you in the end, then the game was more about skill than strategy!]
As everyone said, since you, Sima Yi, didn't use your "Dodge" ability, then don't blame Yuan Shen for being impolite!
At this point, Sima Yi only had one point of health left and six cards. Although it was known that he had a [Kill] and a [Steal], from the perspective of others, he had no [Dodge] available.
Jiushen knew this too, and now he didn't have many cards left in his hand, only one [Iron Chain] and one [Kill].
But one [Kill] card is enough!
Jiu Shen was not impatient. Instead, he reforged the [Iron Chain] to see what kind of card he would get.
【liquor】.
Jiu Shen's eyes lit up. If one [Kill] wasn't enough, you might have one [Peach] or one [Wine], but what about now!
[Alcohol Killer]!
Let's see if you can defend against this!
[Sima Yi uses Flash].
Zhang Bucai had been waiting for this moment!
The purpose of sacrificing blood earlier was to disrupt Yuan Shao's hand. With good luck, four copies of "Arrow Barrage" could completely wipe out several "rebels".
Furthermore, considering the need to draw cards after killing the "rebel," he has no choice but to make a move.
The reason for leaving a "dodge" is to prevent this from happening!
This definitely involves a gamble. If the opponent doesn't have a "Kill" card, or only has one "Kill" card, the importance of keeping a "Dodge" card won't be apparent.
But the purpose is to prevent a single instance of alcohol-related murder!
Zhang Bucai made the right bet!
Instead of turning into a clown, he pulled off a series of brilliant plays!
This move wasn't given by the dealer; he made it himself!
"My God! Did he foresee this? How did he know that the [Iron Chain] combo would be followed by a [Wine] card?!" Zitai's eyes widened.
This flash made all his previous statements look like those of a clown!
It directly prevented two points of damage!
"As expected, the offline tournament champion is quite something! He was anticipating the opponent's moves. If the opponent hadn't used [Wine Kill], his performance would have been unremarkable!"
If the opponent doesn't get a kill, they'll turn into a clown, but he's willing to gamble and make risky plays. If he had used Flash beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to withstand those two points of damage!
Su Keke's eyes lit up, and she continued to praise him, following the tone of his words.
Holy crap, I've turned into the clown!
That was a really cool move, especially in a competitive match! I can brag about that for a lifetime!
[Boldness to gamble and bold moves—that's the true value of a champion!]
Zhang Bucai's move not only stunned them but also surprised the other players.
Ran Xiaona thought her teammates had gloriously logged off so early, and when she saw Yuan Shao's [Wine Kill] card, she was ready to fight to the death.
But I never expected that he would save his [Flash] card for last!
If it were up to me, I might have given up the first wave!
Hisago frowned.
No way! How come he also has a [flash] ability?!
He really pulled off a highlight play; he ended up being the background character!
Now that I have no cards left in my hand, I'm doomed!
Having no cards in hand, he can only skip, and his turn ends.
Next, he faced a massive attack from the crowd. Fortunately, Sima Yi's offensive capabilities were not strong, and he only lost two drops of health before the turn ended.
Meanwhile, positions 3 and 4 are both on the side of the Lord, one being Sun Shangxiang and the other Hua Tuo.
He managed to fully restore Yuan Shao's status.
They also eliminated Sima Yi, who was in position 2.
The remaining rebels haven't drawn any weapon cards yet, and because they're too far away, they can only target Sun Shangxiang and Hua Tuo.
Yuan Shao is still in good health.
Soon, it was Ran Xiaona's turn.
Since it was position 8, she specifically drew two [Dodge] cards and two [Kill] cards.
But after the attack from position 7, I now only have one point of health left, and two [Kill] cards.
They won't cause any trouble at all.
Moreover, the dealer dealt a [Peach] and a [Serpent Spear].
It's just so-so...
But when she finished eating the peach, equipped the spear, and prepared to use a "Kill" card on Yuan Shao...
A lightbulb suddenly lit up above Ran Xiaona's head!
Hey! If I activate [Zhangba Serpent Spear: Can use any two cards in hand as a Kill], will [Chain Camp] give me an AK?
Anyway, I reckon I'll be dead in the next round!
Without hesitation, he played the two [Kill] cards in his hand as one [Kill] card!
Lu Xun inflicted one drop of damage on Yuan Shao.
Activate [Chain Camp: When you lose cards in your hand, if you have no cards left, you may draw one card!]
[Zhuge Repeating Crossbow]...AK is here.
And just like that... the dealer got going!
[Kill][Kill][Kill]....
Even if the loyal minister and the traitor use peaches to save them, it won't help!
It seems like there are no other cards in this deck, so I'll just play a [Kill] card on her!
And just like that, effortlessly, Ran Xiaona led her team to victory!
"Let's congratulate the [Rebels] on their victory, securing three points! This game had so many memorable moments!"
Ran Xiaona announced the end of the first game, and at the same time, she did not forget to express her feelings.
Zitai couldn't help but chime in, "Yes, this kind of scene of Lu Xun's continuous attacks and killings... I've only ever dreamed of it in my dreams, I never thought I'd actually see it one day!"
He was so envious of Ran Xiaona!
Who wouldn't want to play a round of Lu Shen and have some fun!
Does this require some action?
There's absolutely no need for that!
[Invincible! If Zhang Bucai relied on skill, then Ran Xiaona relied purely on luck!]
[Is he related to the dealer? His cards are just too good!]
[It's not just what Zita said; who wouldn't want a thrilling match with Lu Shen!]
[It seems that whether you have good teamwork or skill, good luck is all you need!]
Ran Xiaona didn't expect the dealer to be so accommodating!
Since they've already brought the [Zhuge Repeating Crossbow], how could I possibly refuse it?
"The next game will officially start in 15 minutes. Everyone can take a break first!"
