Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

"Pfft~" Han Lu couldn't help but laugh.

As the older sister, she always wanted to be a role model, but with Su Bai, she discovered that she could be her true self.

"How's your dance and singing practice going?"

"Is it alright?"

Han Lu felt a little guilty. These days, the two of them had been swiping their cards non-stop, so they hadn't had any time to practice.

Han Meng remained silent; the two were perfectly in sync.

"Alright, alright, that's settled then!"

Su Bai was at a loss with the two of them.

"You guys shouldn't be idle either; you should study hard at school."

"I've prepared a deck for you; you can study it yourselves."

As he spoke, Su Bai handed a stack of documents to the two Han sisters.

"Battle Cry Gambler Style!"

The battle cry emitted when a magical creature is summoned can trigger certain effects.

However, the effect is random, as it can range from very poor to exceptionally good.

If it's just a fixed one, then its power is limited.

Su Bai enjoys creating this blind box effect, where card decks are entirely based on luck, which might be quite exciting.

Each battle has a different effect, but the surprises and the shocks are the same.

However, this deck has a fatal flaw: it is banned by the "God of Misfortune".

For lucky players, the battle cry effects are all positive, as if divinely aided.

For those with bad luck, their battle cries have negative effects, and they may not even be able to utter them at all.

"War Cry?"

"Gambling addict?"

The two sisters looked bewildered. What were all these things?

However, after seeing the information, both of them looked pleasantly surprised.

This is really interesting because this deck has endless variations and can't be countered.

The only ones who can target them are themselves.

"There are some introductions to magic cards above; you can make them according to the instructions."

"If there's a better idea, that would be even better."

This deck isn't exactly a secret, but it requires proper synergy to achieve its full effect.

Su Bai hasn't told the Han sisters about the magic card that has the best synergy in his deck yet.

After all, some things should be kept in one's own hands. You can't know what's in someone's heart, let alone just a working relationship.

"Don't let this deck get out; you guys can study it yourselves."

Hearing Su Bai's words, the two sisters looked at each other and nodded.

After giving his instructions, Su Bai left.

Only the two sisters returned home looking preoccupied.

"Sister, what should we do?" Han Meng asked, her face showing worry and a conflicted expression.

Clearly, what happened today has somewhat unsettled her.

Hearing her sister's words, Han Lu finally snapped out of her reverie.

She was conflicted when she saw what she was holding in her hand.

“If we take the money and don’t do anything, the Chen family will cause trouble for us.”

“Not only the Chen family, but the Nan family is also involved. There is no place for us in this city.”

It turned out that before the college entrance examination, the Nan and Chen families found the two Han sisters.

They were given a large sum of money, which they have already spent almost all of.

They had a wonderful three-day trip to Kyoto and felt absolutely no guilt whatsoever.

However, after seeing Su Bai's information, I was still terrified.

They need to go undercover and pass on information to the Nan and Chen families.

When needed, they also need to act as an inside agent to deal with Su Bai.

Originally, the two of them didn't have a good impression of Su Bai; they just felt that Su Bai wanted to use them to make money.

He is the same kind of person as the Nan and Chen families, but today's events have made them hesitate.

It turns out that Su Bai was genuinely looking out for them, while the Nan and Chen families were simply using them.

But do they still have a chance to turn back?

"But we've already spent almost all the money, so we can't get a refund."

"We've been poor for so long, this is really embarrassing."

The documents in my hand suddenly felt hot to the touch; I felt a little guilty holding them.

"But the magic cards and decks introduced here are really amazing! Is it really necessary to offend someone as talented as Su Bai?"

"Battlecry effect, I've always known about that, but the random triggering aspect is truly the essence."

"And the sheer number of random effects to choose from is astonishing."

Faced with Su Bai's gift, Han Lu felt for the first time that a multiple-choice question was so difficult.

Chapter 86 Be a Little More Reserved

86. Be a little more reserved

After leaving, Su Bai returned to his home.

Battlecry betting is a relatively luck-based strategy, but with the right approach, there are actually many more options available.

Su Bai already has many methods, but the most direct method is to increase the number of times the War Cry effect can be triggered.

For example, while others can only trigger the Battlecry effect once, a special card can trigger the Battlecry effect twice.

If triggered multiple times and the person is lucky, their strength will increase significantly.

Once you reach a higher level, you can also use environment cards in conjunction with them.

Environment cards are a type of special card that can change the environment within a certain range, triggering your own advantages.

For example, if the duel takes place by a river, but you only know how to play with fire, you can trigger an environment card that changes the environment within a few meters.

Environmental changes offer a natural advantage to Magic Card creatures and can have unexpected effects.

However, environment cards require a lot of magic power, so generally not many people use them frequently.

Environment cards can also trigger battlecry effects.

A random environment, a hundred times more exciting, isn't it?

One accidental random advantage given to the opponent can end the match in an instant.

This is much more exciting than gambling on demon cards. Demon cards are gambled on when they are created, while Battlecry cards are gambled on every time they are released.

Nine out of ten bets result in a loss, so this deck is not stable.

Only by increasing the number of triggers can a balance between good and bad effects be achieved based on the average effect.

There are too many effects of War Cry, and too many possible combinations.

So this kind of deck is both despairing and full of hope.

For someone like Su Bai, who is both stubborn and cunning, constantly shifting his allegiance is the best way to go.

If he were to find a powerful force to exert his influence, he would certainly be valued, and might even be treated as an honored guest.

However, Su Bai knew very well that serving a ruler was like walking on thin ice, and he was unwilling to entrust his life and death to others.

Su Bai remembered the story of "releasing military power over a cup of wine" very clearly. When you have the ability to help someone conquer the country, you are a meritorious official.

But once your position is stable, you become a source of instability.

There have been too many such cases in history. Su Bai would rather not develop than lose everything he has.

Although the system is a jerk, it is also generous, and Su Bai is not yet in a situation where he has to live under someone else's roof.

If he really intends to go and confront powerful families, even nine lives wouldn't be enough.

After all, the system is collecting his negative energy; he's unlikely to die, but a miserable death is certain.

Life is pretty good now. I joined the Magic Card Master Association simply because it prevents me from being controlled by any force.

Ring ring.

There was a knock at the door.

Why are you here?

Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?

Jinru wore a red dress, high-heeled ribbon shoes, and a stylish small crossbody bag.

Her face was incredibly refined, making her look almost like a big star.

However, Su Bai frowned; something was off about this person.

What are you doing here so late at night?

"You didn't tell your husband you went out to get your hair done, did you?"

Jinru: ? ? ?

"I don't have a husband!"
