"It really changed all of them. My deck and the opponent's deck are not shared, which ans the probability of playing a heart flush next round will... increase quite a lot?"
After Mio changed several high cards of other suits into hearts.
Half of her current deck was already made up of heart cards!
This made the flush combinations that originally required her to discard several tis beco much easier to play.
"But it still isn't one hundred percent. Are there more chances to modify it?"
Mio continued moving forward along the route map and entered a place called the Soul Shop.
Here, a dazzling array of relics was placed on the shelves, all requiring soul chips to exchange for them.
"As expected, I can keep strengthening myself. Let see... Rare Relic, Blazing Sun: heart flush multiplier x3. Price: 220 soul chips. Good stuff! Bought!"
"Common Relic, Dyer: choose four cards and change them into the suit you want. Price: 150 soul chips. Bought!"
"Common Relic, Heart-Cleaving Axe: delete any two cards from your deck. Price: 134 soul chips. Bought!"
Mio waved her hand in the shop and bought, bought, bought. Every ti she bought a relic, the other relics would permanently increase in price.
This also caused Mio to spend her soul chips in an instant until she only had 2 left!
But after buying these relics, Mio felt terrifyingly strong!
Now, more than half of the cards in her deck were hearts, and the multiplier of her heart flush could be multiplied by another x3!
"Um... now that I think about it, soul chips are both money and the player's HP? I only have two bucks left now... Doesn't that an if I lose the next round, I'm dead?"
Only now did Mio realize that in this ga, her money was her HP.
"But it doesn't matter! From now on, I just need to brainlessly play heart flushes and I can slaughter everything! Totally invincible!"
Mio could no longer wait to take the cheating deck she had just built and directly charged to the second challenger.
The second duel began.
The second challenger was called the Wealthy Gambler, and his trait was that he had a full 800 soul chips.
But Mio was not afraid at all!
In the first hand, the opponent once again played a straight, taking an extrely high score of 135 points.
If this had been before, Mio might have gnashed her teeth and discarded cards for ages, searching for cards, only to still fail to beat it.
But now... instant kill!
Mio directly played a heart flush combination that should have been impossible in a normal poker match.
(Heart flush base score 35 heart K 13 heart K 13 heart K 13 heart Q 12 heart Q 12) x4 heart flush multiplier x3 Relic, Blazing Sun, total score 1176 points!!
Along with a series of ding-ding-mimi score calculation sounds that sounded extrely pleasant to Mio.
Mio played a high score she had not even dared to imagine before!
In an instant, a giant iron hamr descended from the sky and smashed heavily onto the Wealthy Gambler. After producing an extrely satisfying hit effect.
A damage number of -1041 instantly popped out. The opponent could not even survive the first round and was instantly killed by Mio!
So satisfying! Why is it this satisfying?
Mio watched as all eight hundred chips on that gambler's body went to her.
The satisfying feeling of instantly killing the opponent, the satisfaction of winning big money, and the anticipation of taking that big money to buy stronger weapons and equipnt instantly filled Mio's heart!
So satisfying! This is what playing a ga is supposed to feel like!
After defeating the enemy, Mio continued moving forward. Afterward, she bought a huge pile of relics to strengthen herself.
First was changing as many cards in her deck as possible into hearts.
Second were relics that increased the multiplier of heart flushes.
Third, there were also so especially rare relics that could even change the rules of the ga.
For example, Rare Relic, Multi-Headed Monster: the number of cards you draw each ti 1, and the number of cards you can play each ti 1. This relic can stack. Price: 300 soul chips.
Originally, Mio could only draw eight cards at a ti, then choose six cards from those eight to play.
But after obtaining this relic, she could play one more card each ti to get even more points! She could create even more combinations.
After another round of strengthening, Mio's deck had already beco frighteningly strong. She could easily play scores in the thousands with her eyes closed.
There was also sothing like Rare Relic, Card-Stealing Hook: once per hand, you can steal any one card played by the enemy. Price: 300 soul chips.
Mio did not really need this one, but from this relic, she could also glimpse that this ga really had many different builds.
Not only making flushes, but also stealing other people's cards, stuffing all kinds of junk cards into other people's decks, and so on.
But right now, Mio had already high-rolled the heart flush build, so there was no need to take relics from other builds.
"Oh dear, I accidentally beca too strong. It seems a little boring now."
Mio arrived before a new enemy again and accidentally said her true thoughts out loud.
You think the enemy is too weak, right? Fine! Carl also made adjustnts at just the right ti.
He gave Mio an option to raise the stakes before challenging an enemy.
Raise: Before challenging an enemy, you may choose to increase the challenge difficulty as much as you want. Afterward, that enemy will be replaced with a more difficult enemy, and the number of soul chips you obtain after victory will also increase!
This setting was pretty good! Mio did not like steamrolling victories either, so she directly raised the stakes and increased the enemy's strength to around 3000 soul chips.
Then the next enemy Mio faced instantly changed into a knight wearing decayed armor, with crimson light leaking from the gaps in the armor, and an ominous glow emanating from his entire body.
No matter how you looked at him, he did not seem like a character who should appear in a casino!
[Heart-Cleaving Knight, 4000 soul chips.
Special Ability: Every ti you play cards, he will draw his sword and cut the two cards with the lowest values in your played hand, making their values invalid! However, the hand type you ford when playing the cards will not change because of this.]
The opponent also had cheating abilities? Now this was interesting... Otherwise, if they were all just HP sponges, there would be no difference.
The Heart-Cleaving Knight's ability was not much of a problem for Mio, especially since she had bought the Multi-Headed Monster relic.
She once again played a high score that the current monster could hardly reach!
(Heart flush base score 35 diamond heart K 13 golden heart K 13 golden heart K 13 heart Q 12, cut heart Q 12, cut) x4 heart flush multiplier x3 relic multiplier, score... 5200 points!
With the support of various relics and the heart flush, after a ding-ding-dang-dang series of calculations brought her close to a high score of 5200, she cut down this elite monster's 4000 HP!
"So satisfying! If I take this 4000 to the shop and strengthen myself again, then co back out, won't I just slaughter everything?"
Mio's thinking was indeed correct. After the third and fourth rounds of strengthening, her heart flush deck was already invincible!
Even when Mio kept raising the stakes all the way to ten thousand points, she could still easily take it down.
Because with the support of multiple relic multipliers and extra cards played.
The score Mio could play in one hand had already shot straight up to around 12000.
"I finally reached the final boss. But... anyway, it's probably the kind I can casually instant kill."
Mio carried a huge pile of super strong relics, as well as a deck full of hearts, even full of diamond heart kings, golden heart queens, silver heart aces, and other top-scoring high cards that had gone through a series of strengthening and modifications, and arrived before the final boss.
Then... a small prompt popped up in front of the final boss's door.
Would you like to challenge one of the four strongest Despairs in this casino? Yes / No.
This prompt was asking Mio whether she wanted to replace the current ordinary boss with the strongest hidden boss.
"Strongest? What kind of strongest? Can it survive the first round against my invincible heart deck? Of course I choose yes!"
Mio chose yes without even thinking!
Then the surrounding lights suddenly dimd. Along with a fierce gust of wind, a terrifying figure completely shrouded in a worn-out cloak appeared before Mio!
[Despair of Cowardice, 20000 soul chips.
Special Ability: You begin to fear the consequences of failure. Despair envelops you. All your heart cards and heart flush base scores will beco invalid! The situation will only get worse from now on!]
Although this boss was designed by Carl, it really was not sothing Carl had deliberately arranged here!
It was purely random! If Mio had chosen the normal boss, she would have cleared it in the first hand, but...
Mio repeatedly confird this boss's special ability.
When the extrely glaring words, all your heart cards will beco invalid, appeared before her eyes...
Mio shouted out in complete refusal to accept reality.
"What is with this skill? It makes all heart cards invalid?! This... Isn't this cheating?"
For soone bringing a deck full of heart cards, you really have no right to call soone else a cheater...
In short, this boss's ability was practically a hard counter to the current Mio.
Mio refused to believe it and played the first hand.
(Heart flush base score 35, invalid heart K 13, invalid heart K 13, invalid heart K 13, invalid heart K 13, invalid heart K 13, invalid...) x4 heart flush multiplier x3 relic multiplier 2 relic multiplier... Score 0.
Then the opponent's first round score was 1201 points!
In an instant, Mio suffered 1201 damage! If not for the fact that the goods in the Soul Shop were limited each ti, and the price of relics increased as the number of relics she had increased.
If she had not barely saved up quite a few soul chips in the end, letting her accumulate over 3000 soul chips.
She would have lost in that instant.
But even if she could last a few more rounds, what use was that?
"It hurts! They really are all invalid! What the hell is this chanic? Is this really a boss made by humans?"
In the end, no matter how much Mio complained, it was useless. Under several consecutive attacks from the boss, Mio's soul chips were directly emptied, instantly declaring her death in this round of the ga!
"D-Damn it... I was so close! Carl! One more round!"
After failing, Mio imdiately shouted at Carl without even thinking.
However, after Carl appeared, he tapped the wrist where he was not wearing a watch and said,
"Miss Player, you played this round for almost an hour. It is already ten at night. Do you not have work tomorrow?"
"Huh? It's already ten?"
Mio imdiately glanced at the ga ti and discovered that it really was already ten at night in the real world. If she did not sleep now, she would not be able to get up tomorrow.
"One more round... should be fine, right? It's only ten, after all. I'll call a taxi when I go to work tomorrow and sleep in the car for a bit."
"Anyway, one more round! Just one round! If I'd known the final boss was like that, I wouldn't have gone all-in on the heart build this ti!"
"If I don't win one round, I feel like I won't be able to sleep all night!" Mio said with bloodshot eyes, placing both hands on Carl's shoulders.
Carl revealed a doting expression that said, "I really can't do anything about you," and opened another round for Mio.
After gaining experience, Mio naturally succeeded in winning the second round.
After winning, Mio logged off in satisfaction.
Although she had suffered three whole days of tornt from Oath, the mini-ga Carl gave her at the end still allowed her to regain the satisfying feeling of playing a ga.
Mio was extrely grateful to Carl for saving her night!
And just as Carl was surprised that Mio's self-control was actually this strong, not long after... Mio suddenly logged on again.
"Um... Miss Player, it is already one in the morning. Did you not go to sleep?" Carl asked.
"I did go to sleep! I'm lying in bed playing on my phone right now."
"I couldn't sleep, and I wanted to try the card-stealing build. Just open a round for directly on mobile."
Mio's character movents looked extrely stiff. It seed she really was logged in through the mobile client.
She had probably been lying in bed preparing to sleep, then subconsciously wanted to scroll through her phone a little.
Judging by this... she was definitely going to call in sick for work tomorrow!
