Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards Chapter 1157 - 445: The 3 1 Card Deck Combination

The 3-minute countdown ticked away, second by second.

Though voice communication was banned, many players had already started to move.

So appeared very nervous, frantically shifting within a small area.

Others were calr, finding a suitable edge or corner to secretly observe everyone.

There were those who seed indifferent, or perhaps dazed, standing motionless, like Ree Shil.

And so were quite strange.

Their movents seed random and chaotic, but in reality, they followed a certain pattern.

In Mother Nature, there is a kind of Insect that exhibits very similar behavior.

Lacking ans of communication, they can only convey ssages to their peers by flying in certain characteristic trajectories.

Clearly, so Representative Teams had co up with clever tricks under the restriction of silence.

That was to reveal their identities through prearranged patterns of movent.

However, other players in the arena were no fools, and many quickly began to imitate various movent trajectories.

Suddenly, the stage beca a chaotic ss.

A bunch of Light Groups scattered all over like molecules in Brownian motion.

Buzz! x36

Then, out of the blue, there was a Flash of light, and all players were randomly reassigned to new positions.

Before they could react, they received a system notification.

[Ding dong!

Please note.

Any form of communication before the start of the Card Ga will be regarded as cheating.

Once confird, the entire team’s participation will be imdiately disqualified.]

This ssage made everyone go silent instantly.

Hardly anyone dared to move recklessly after that, staying immobile just where they were.

Fearing an accidental misinterpretation of transmitting identities, and being directly disqualified.

Thus, the countdown started anew.

Though equally silent, the ti didn’t feel so quiet when everyone was previously moving.

In this atmosphere, the countdown suddenly seed to drag on.

As ti slipped by, second after second, the countdown finally ended.

Amidst such a tense mood, everyone remained cautious.

They kept sizing up the other players but refrained from taking any action.

This caution stemd from both being on guard against unknown opponents and fearing to mistakenly hit their own teammates.

In such circumstances, the players who took action first were likely exhibiting extre confidence.

So much so that whenever any Light Group made a move, the others around it would instinctively move away.

This confidence might be a bluff, but no one was willing to put it to the test.

Consequently, the arena quickly split into two factions.

One wandered around the stage, while the other dodged, intentionally or not.

Among them, the Light Groups that previously nestled in corners or inconspicuous edges beca everyone’s primary targets.

Because compared to those who daringly attacked, these players represented the opposite.

They represented a lack of confidence.

No strength, naturally no confidence.

Of course, it was also possible that they were playing possum.

Ree Shil was one of those who stayed put.

It wasn’t that he lacked confidence, nor was he playing possum.

He simply couldn’t be bothered to move.

Under this competition’s rules, it was impossible to know who your opponent was before entering the Card Ga.

Since that was the case, there was no point in being proactive or Passive.

After all, you didn’t know who the other party was.

Resulting from this, a curious situation erged.

Ree Shil’s Standstill led many passing players to harbor wariness.

He managed to remain unchallenged for several minutes, astonishingly, without anyone approaching him to fight.

Before long, barriers started to erect Card tables on the stage.

Ree Shil counted, there were already 17 of them.

That ant only he and one other player were left not engaged in a Card Ga.

Moreover, peering through the gaps between the barriers, he could clearly see another Light Group idly standing there.

It was as if they were also watching him.

In an instant, it seed as though the two had reached an unspoken agreent.

One must understand that this round’s rules didn’t compare who eliminated more enemies.

It was about who could last longer on the stage.

Thus, avoiding unnecessary battles was the best strategy.

Now, with 17 Card Gas taking place on the stage,

It ant if Ree Shil and his counterpart refrained from engaging in a Card Ga, they could almost guarantee ranking among the top 19.

But if they began a Card Ga now, one would be in the top 18 while the other might not make the top 20.

Pretending not to see each other was a win-win strategy.

Unlike the players, the audience outside the arena could actually see every Light Group’s number.

Specifically for the Balance Representative Team, the Director had kindly labeled it as Contestant 1 Henry Thompson.

In the Studio of Lan-Lan tropolis, the two comntators were also paying attention to Ree Shil’s actions.

Hunchback Woman: [It seems the two players have decided to hold their positions.]

Museum Director Phoenix: [It’s a pity, it would have been interesting if they had a showdown.]

Hunchback Woman: [Just at the start, Snow Charm faces off against Contestant 1 Henry Thompson, isn’t this a bit too cruel?]

Indeed, the audience was quite excited when it was just the two of them left.

The first from the Balance Representative Team against the first from the Wisdom Representative Team.

Even if it was a simple 3 1 Card Ga, the hype alone was enough to attract attention.

Unfortunately, the two quickly reached an unspoken agreent and opted out of the Card Ga.

Then the 17 Card Gas already taking place also settled into an unspoken agreent.

To last longer on the stage, they mostly chose to play a slow-paced Card Ga.
