Chapter 130 Gambling Chips

On the large screen, the blue whale Neo is steaming in a waterfall, and three options are displayed in a row:

"Lead Paperweight": Choose one of two random colorless cards to add to your deck.

'Golden Pearl', you will receive 150 gold coins.

"Loosen the Wool Shears" - Takes 13 damage, then choose 2 cards to delete.

The commentator's voice quickly came over the loudspeaker, filled with professional enthusiasm: "Alright! The three starting options have appeared! Let's see what's going on."

"The 'lead paperweight' is highly random and carries some risk. The 'loose wool shears' has purely negative effects and is a trap option."

"Golden pearls, with their stable gold coin returns, are undoubtedly the safest and most reliable choice! Let's see how the players will decide."

"When they arrived at the Ghost Team's side, they hardly hesitated. As expected, all four of them unanimously chose the 'Golden Pearl'."

This is a feature of the international version; unlike the original version, everyone sees the same options in online mode.

Although the options presented are the same, each player in the team makes independent decisions that do not affect each other.

This means that each party can choose their own path, or they can reach a consensus, making it more strategic and interactive.

"This is a solid start. Golden Pearl is the consensus choice for most players. Especially with a pre-purchase shop, the initial return is extremely high —" the commentator explained.

"Let's see what the Hundred-Team chooses."

Before he could finish speaking, the director switched the camera to the Hundred-Team, where all four of them simultaneously selected "Loosen the Sheep Shears".

The commentator paused noticeably before repeating a sentence: "The Hundred-Team has chosen—"

"What did the Hundred-Team choose? 'Loosening the sheep shears'?"

"Is this a decision-making error, or is there another motive?"

The commentator clearly couldn't find a reasonable explanation and could only hastily try to fill in the gaps.

This decision clearly surprised the audience, and a cacophony of voices immediately rose from below the stage: "Is Xingyuan deliberately going easy on us?"

"You don't understand. They're like players in Go, deliberately giving each other a handicap."

"7

"They're basically telling the other side that even if we give you 13 health at the start and have two cards left, we can still beat you."

"So confident?"

Before the four members of the Hundred-Link Team could explain, they all tacitly deleted the initial pair of "Attack" and "Defense".

The player loses 13 health points at the start of the game, and the deck is reduced from 10 cards to 8.

Xingyuan smiled slightly, and after confirming that the team members had finished, he began to plan the route.

The commentator paused for a few seconds before explaining, "This is a very bold choice. Losing 13 health points at the start greatly impacts the margin for error in the early stages of the game."

"As for the motive, we don't know for the time being. Perhaps it was a tactic of underestimating the enemy."

"Of course, this fully demonstrates that the Hundred-League Team is very confident in its early operations. Let's wait and see."

""

Liu Huazi sat in his seat and, upon hearing that Bailian had chosen sheep shears, slapped his forehead in frustration.

Seeing this, the teammate next to him quietly nudged his shoulder and whispered, "Captain, they're not following the plan. What do we do?"

Liu Huazi remained silent, thinking to himself, "This Xingyuan really doesn't play by the rules." He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

But he could only shake his head helplessly, give his teammates a look, and continue according to the original plan.

In the audience, an old man watching this scene almost couldn't breathe.

This man was Yu Deng, who was gritting his teeth and dropping the walnuts in his hand to the ground.

"Mr. Yu! Mr. Yu!" The secretary next to him patted him on the shoulder.

According to Yu Deng's original plan, the Hundred-Team should also choose the Golden Pearl.

They originally expected that, logically speaking, most players would choose the golden pearl over the other two options.

And if you choose the Golden Pearl, you will naturally choose the route with the prerequisite shop.

This route happens to be the only shop visible on the entire first floor map.

In the general understanding of professions, if you choose "Golden Pearl" but don't go through the prerequisite shop, it's as if you didn't choose it at all.

Therefore, they were certain that the Hundred-Team would not only choose the "Golden Pearl," but would also definitely choose this route.

They had already revealed information about this seed to the Ghost Team.

They all knew that the road, though seemingly lucrative, was actually an extremely well-hidden trap.

The route to that shop is mostly filled with question marks, and those question marks are filled with negative events and minor monsters.

There are many dangerous question marks, but very few campfires. There are also two elites blocking the way. Fighting elites while low on health is extremely dangerous.

Their Ghost Team, on the other hand, will take a different path filled with question marks. This path seems to have no shops, but in fact, the second question mark contains a shop.

In this way, they both set a trap for the 100-pull event and were able to successfully reap the initial benefits of the 'Golden Pearl' pre-requisite shop.

Furthermore, most of the question marks following their route also indicate positive buffs. Overall, the entire route was very rewarding.

But now, Bailian is not playing by the rules, and their plan has been disrupted.

Yu Deng was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder. His secretary immediately handed him pills and a thermos.

"Mr. Yu, don't get agitated!" The secretary brought him another sip of water to help him calm down.

Yu Deng took the water glass, took a sip, swallowed the pill, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

He looked at Xingyuan and sneered, "Even if you don't choose 'Golden Pearl,' starting with 13 HP deducted, let's see how you get past the first level!"

Ye Fei sat in the audience, still with a hot dog skewer in his mouth.

Just now, he glanced quickly at the map and made a rough judgment.

In this situation, using sheep shears is not actually the optimal solution.

This map has a lot of elites and few shops. You start with 13 HP deducted, so you might have to avoid fighting the elites.

This will limit development. Without a shop, the development you can get from campfires, question marks, and monsters is very limited.

While removing two cards at the start might seem "comfortable," it doesn't actually offer much early-game benefit and doesn't significantly help with transitioning to the next level.

In contrast, lead paperweights, while seemingly highly random, actually offer extremely high potential returns.

Anyone familiar with the second-generation colorless deck library and environment knows that many colorless transitional decks are very powerful and generally of high quality.

For example, "Bright Sword," "Shining Debut," "Fist Fight," "Omnidirectional Slash," "Ultimate Strike," "Ultimate Defense," and "Splash."

They might be high-efficiency area-of-effect damage, have extremely high card efficiency, or have maxed-out stats.

These cards make up a significant portion of the deck, and simply getting one of them can greatly reduce the pressure of progressing through the early stages.

Not to mention the high-quality colorless ability cards like "Tighten," "Extraordinary Memory," and "Automation," obtaining just one is practically equivalent to a guaranteed advancement to the next level.

If he were doing it himself, he would most likely choose a lead paperweight.

But considering that advancing to level seven, the difficulty of the dense forest wasn't too high. And considering Xingyuan and the others' route, this choice was feasible and there wasn't much of a problem, so Ye Fei didn't say anything.

The commentator's voice rang out again: "The Ghost team's choice is very interesting—they picked a 'Golden Pearl'!"

"But instead of taking the usual route with the pre-positioned stores, they chose a route that was full of questions."

"Are they going all in? They seem really confident in their luck!"
