This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 359 - 332: Hit by a Scam, Poor [Shield Mushroom]

Chapter 359: Chapter 332: Hit by a Scam, Poor [Shield Mushroom]

"I know your mushroom deck is strong."

At this moment, Shi Zhen spoke.

"I’ve been keeping this trump card hidden for a long time. If it weren’t for encountering you, I wouldn’t have planned to bring it out this round."

She is clever, speaking but not boasting.

"It is indeed a good card."

Li Pu nodded in agreement.

Before him now is a choice.

Whether or not to take advantage of the opponent’s center card being facedown, to launch an attack first.

The combined attack power of his three face-up cards is a total of 9 points.

This is a very good number.

It can precisely reduce that facedown card’s life by 9 points, and then decide whether to make a follow-up attack when it is revealed.

After thinking it over, Li Pu discovered there are only two ways to defeat Shi Zhen.

The first method is to forcibly take down the opponent’s [Rock General].

The [Rock General] alone occupies 20 points, adding up the other two face-up cards, the score consumed has reached 40.

This means that adding the trump card, Shi Zhen has a total of 4 cards which are worth at most 30 points, not very strong in power.

Forcing a takedown of the [Rock General] would greatly increase his chances of victory.

Originally if the [Cannon Fungus]’s attack power boost didn’t have a limitation on the target’s Defense, it would have been the best option now.

Not to mention an 11-point attack power kill line, only needing to add two more attack power boost cards including the [Horn Mushroom] would make a 13-point kill line possible.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work now.

This means if he wants to rush kill the [Rock General], he must first take out the facedown card in front of it.

The second method is to pressure the health line.

Pressuring the health line means reducing the life of all cards that can be attacked on Shi Zhen’s side.

Ideally, they will all be left with just 1 point of life, and then in one turn, wipe them all out.

No matter how many of Li Pu’s stone cards exit in a turn, [Rock General] can only grant one card the [Stone Race Crush] effect.

So the more cards taken down in one turn, the more advantageous for Li Pu.

The best outcome is for only one [Rock General] to remain as a regular card on the opponent’s side, while he still has several regular cards left.

Then, it might trigger the stalemate mechanism of cube cards.

The existence of this mechanism is to prevent both sides from being stuck in a stalemate where nothing can be done.

Once this situation occurs, all cards on each side increase attack power by 1 point each round, until a victory is achieved.

If the stalemate mechanism is triggered, the side with more remaining cards is more likely to win.

In any case, whether to forcibly kill the [Rock General] or to pressure the health line, attacking the facedown card in the center of Shi Zhen’s side this turn is the best choice.

Having understood this point, Li Pu completed his action command.

"Have you thought of a solution?"

Because Shi Zhen completed her choice early with confidence, she smiled.

As both sides finished choosing, the battle commenced directly.

[Mushroom Stomp!] x3

Three mushroom creatures rushed forward, furiously stomping on the facedown card.

[Yanyan!] x3

The opponent’s three stone creatures gave the [Sand Mushroom King] a gentle massage instead.

At the end of the round, the result was that the [Sand Mushroom King] lost 2 life, leaving Li Pu dumbfounded.

He never expected that Shi Zhen, who seemed so sweet, would be so cunning.

Even though he managed to knock 9 life points off that facedown card, it went down anyway!

But it was only when the facedown card was revealed and exited simultaneously that Li Pu understood the situation.

[Little Pebble] -1 point, D

1/1

Attack 0, Defense 0

[Useless Fellow]: Little Pebble loses an additional 9 life points

This is completely a junk card, brought out just to mess with him!

"Darn, Mo Saike got hit."

"Next turn [Stone Race Crush] activates directly, that girl really calculated well."

"A card for a card, but the opponent exchanged for a 1-point junk card."

The audience whispered among themselves.

But to call it cunning, Shi Zhen truly couldn’t be considered despicable.

Because just as Li Pu envisioned, no matter which strategy he chose, attacking the facedown card was the best option for this round.

All that could be said is that Shi Zhen used an open strategy, and there was no avoiding the trap.

This round’s challenge was completely thrown to Li Pu.

Now in this second turn, one of his three tank cards must exit.

What card should he reveal to turn this situation around? It’s a difficult problem.

Wait!

Suddenly, Li Pu thought of something.

So he took a few seconds to straighten out the relationships and finally made a decision.

"Huh?"

Shi Zhen, who had made her choice early again, was slightly stunned.

She had expected the opponent would need quite some time to ponder, but he made the decision so quickly.

Both sides finished choosing, and the second round of the reveal phase began.

[Clear the Way!]

The first card revealed was the facedown card from Shi Zhen’s side.

An awkwardly proportioned stone giant composed of nearly spherical stones leaped out from the card.

The place where the stone giant’s body was disproportionate was its right arm, which was particularly robust, much larger than the left arm.

[Rock Thrower] -11 points, C

10/10

Attack 3, Defense 5

[Rock Throw]: The Rock Thrower can attack using throwing methods, allowing it to strike over one row of enemy cards.

[Fragile Form]: Each time the Rock Thrower uses [Rock Throw], its maximum life decreases by 1.
