Ree Shil sensed that the atmosphere was off, so he silently walked over and sat down beside Secretary Brown.
The directors of the Twin City Pavilion were sitting together, but since Secretary Brown wasn’t a curator, he had to find a random seat.
"What’s the current situation?"
As soon as Ree Shil sat down, he quietly asked Secretary Brown.
"You’ve finally arrived!"
Secretary Brown lowered his voice, sounding slightly anxious.
The so-called exchange eting naturally involved both sides playing cards and learning from each other.
Both sides were paired based on their current rankings and played cards against each other.
Many gas had already been played, and both sides had experienced wins and losses, but Lan-Lan tropolis had clearly won more.
Lan-Lan tropolis’s top scorer didn’t show up today, so Henry Thompson naturally took on the second-ranked opponent.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if the other players lose, but Henry Thompson’s ga is crucial; it cannot be lost.
First of all, naturally, because he is a senior card player, losing to a junior in this situation would be quite embarrassing.
It might even affect the reputation of his Henry Thompson Gaming Hall.
Furthermore, if the top scorer of our city loses to the second-ranked player of the other city, doesn’t that imply that our city’s card club industry is inferior to Lan-Lan’s?
But Ree Shil witnessed the outco: Henry Thompson lost the card ga.
He lost face for himself, for Henry Thompson Gaming Hall, and for the city.
Looking around, the overall atmosphere on our city’s side was indeed very down at the mont.
"Should I go up then?"
He looked at Secretary Brown.
"Let’s see, they paired up everyone before you arrived, and the numbers matched perfectly."
Secretary Brown wasn’t sure if the late Ree Shil would have a chance to play.
On the other side, Little Phoenix Fox ca over to the directors’ table from Lan-Lan tropolis.
Several card clubs from Lan-Lan tropolis participated, led by a man with a rooster-shaped head.
Upon closer inspection, it seed that his head wasn’t a rooster but a bird of more elegant and noble appearance than a chicken.
"Father."
Little Phoenix Fox sat beside the man, her tone sweet and obedient.
That’s right, her father was none other than the Curator of the Lan-Lan Balance Card Hall, Phoenix A. Wealthy.
A high-status position with a rather underwhelming na.
Since Little Phoenix Fox’s mother was a mber of the Fox-Eared Tribe, she inherited a human-like appearance instead of a bird’s head.
"Hmmph, so you finally rember to co back?"
Museum Director Phoenix glared at her, his deanor stern.
"I didn’t go out to play, I-I went to investigate!"
Little Phoenix Fox quickly found an excuse as her eyes shifted.
"Investigate? Investigate what?"
"What needs your investigation?"
Museum Director Phoenix slapped a bunch of files onto the table in front of her.
"Uh...".
When Little Phoenix Fox picked up the files, she discovered they held information on the opposing players.
Race, gender, card table habits, card player level, commonly used card sets, professional analysis, and so forth were all noted.
Gathering intelligence was a common practice among card players.
However, seasoned senior players usually had at least 7-8, or even more than a dozen, primary card decks.
For those at this level, such information wasn’t particularly important.
So what if you know my card deck? You can only bring up to 4 decks to a single ga, can you be sure to guess all of mine correctly?
"Ah? Him! Him! Him!"
When Little Phoenix Fox turned to the second page, she imdiately saw Ree Shil’s photo.
Below the photo were lines of information:
Ree Shil: Pure Human (Convex)
Showcase Club, Position: Supervisor (sidelined)
Card Table Habit: Loves to show off
Card Player Level: Level 11 (suspected)
Commonly Used Card Sets: Giant Card, Kung Fu Card Set
Individual Analysis:
1. This card player excels in controlling the mood at the table, leading opponents to make mistakes.
2. The card player excels in card table predictions and psychological warfare.
3. Investigations agents conducted on-site examinations at the Showcase Club found staff mbers highly praising Ree Shil’s excellent interpersonal relationships.
Apart from these details, there were so minor inaccuracies and less reliable intelligence.
"By the way, what does ’sidelined’ an?"
"This person, is he currently the second-ranking player in points?"
As Little Phoenix Fox complained, she was also surprised.
She had attended several delegations with her father and knew that placing the files as the second sheet ant the individual was currently the second-ranked player in card clubs for that city.
(So... his second place was referring to himself just now?)
Now Little Phoenix Fox felt even more awkward.
Speaking about soone in person in such a manner is indeed impolite.
However, she soon turned up her nose, after all, what she said was just the truth; there was nothing wrong with it.
"Albert, is this your daughter? She’s quite pretty."
Show Director, who was sitting next to Museum Director Phoenix, cast a glance over.
"How many tis do I need to tell you, call Museum Director Phoenix!"
Museum Director Phoenix looked furious.
So it turned out that these two were old acquaintances.
"Alright, alright, I won’t call you Albert for these two days, in light of the favor you did for ."
Show Director waved his hand.
Spinach had arrived earlier in Lan-Lan tropolis, so she asked Museum Director Phoenix to sell her so information.
"By the way, have you entered the Way of the Chasing Wind? How’s your progress?"
Upon being reminded, Museum Director Phoenix rembered this matter and expressed so envy.
"Just started it, so the progress is pretty average, I’m at Three Passes Four."
Show Director shrugged.
When this reached Little Phoenix Fox’s ears, she secretly admires it.
Way of Chasing Wind: a copy alongside the Way of Balance.
She had played the Way of Balance so many tis, yet barely achieved the progress of [Third Pass One].
