This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 364 - 334: Supplementing the Card Pool, Contracting the Ugly Little Wolf_2
Let’s not talk about the others for now; we must at least find one or two cards to counter Ah Yajun’s shield strategy.
Later, the shop owner took out several sets of C-level decks, but they all had obvious weaknesses, and Li Pu’s card pool couldn’t compensate enough.
So in the end, he wasn’t interested and only liked the lightning deck.
Since he wasn’t interested in the deck, he shifted his trading strategy to individual cards.
For individual cards, Li Pu raised the grade requirement a bit.
Only B-level cards or exceptional C-level cards.
"If you’re looking for shield-breaking types, I do have a few."
"But there aren’t many, and only one of them is B-level."
The shop owner showed a difficult expression after hearing Li Pu’s specific requirements.
"It’s fine, let’s take a look first."
Li Pu thought about it and chose to accept.
It didn’t matter if they weren’t B-level; he could upgrade them to B-level himself if needed.
"Alright then."
The shop owner nodded and took out three cards.
[Pierce! Pierce!]
The projection of the first card was a metallic sharp-headed man.
Yes, a sharp-headed man.
Its body was generally similar to humans, just with slightly odd proportions and reversed bow-shaped legs, a bit like Zerg limbs.
Then above its neck was a cone-shaped metallic point, without any facial features.
After jumping out from the card face, it kept running in circles.
The running posture was quite peculiar, with its head lowered forward, like a sprinter crossing the finish line.
[Sharp Head Escapes] -5 points, C
Attack 1, Defense 2
[Sharp Head]: When Sharp Head Escapes attacks a target, it can ignore the target’s shield
[Distance Charge]: For every card position between Sharp Head Escapes and the target, damage increases by +1
This card has more potential in 3+1 and 9+1 card games.
Because these two card games have 8 card positions per column.
Assuming [Sharp Head Escapes] is an ace, and the opposing ace is directly opposite, the gap between the two would be 6 positions, causing 1+6=7 damage.
However, in a 6+1 card game, it might only be useful in the second row, showing little effect.
[Magic, the Source!]
The second card was a projection of a wizard floating low in the air.
It wore a long wizard robe, almost covering its entire body.
Beneath the low-pressed wizard hat, one could see a face resembling a black mist.
Within the black mist were two crimson dots, presumably its eyes.
[Black Mist Wizard] -10 points, D
Attack 4, Defense 2
[Anti-Magic Barrier]: When Black Mist Wizard is revealed, it can designate two card positions, rendering the shields on those cards ineffective for 3 turns
This is also a card best used reactively, ideally paired with a high-output card from one’s own side.
Strike the enemy’s card while benefiting from the 3-turn shield ineffective period.
[You Thieves!]
The third card had a deep and angry voice, a semi-humanoid projection made of white smoke with a conical bottom, resembling a genie.
Its entire body was encased in a nearly transparent protective shield, seemingly vulnerable without it.
[Shield Spirit] -10 points, B
Attack 0, Defense 0
[Shield of Life]: Every reveal phase, Shield Spirit gains 1 point of [Shield], up to 20 layers
[Shield Strike]: Shield Spirit’s [Shield] does not deplete, and for each point of [Shield], attack power increases by 1
[Shield Seize]: Shield Spirit can select a target with lower [Shield] than itself and seize all its [Shield], 2 turn cooldown
As expected of a B-level card, its quality is the highest among the three.
Not only can it seize other cards’ [Shield], but it’s also a charge-up card.
Theoretically, if the game lasts long enough and the [Shield Spirit] remains unattacked, it can stack up to 20 points of [Shield] and 20 points of attack.
A great card, it’s not only a card that counters [Shield] but can also serve as a core in the right circumstances.
"How do we trade for these cards?"
After viewing them, Li Pu was quite satisfied with all three.
"For the B-level and C-level ones, 1.25 cards, the D-level one can be bundled as a freebie."
The shop owner’s smile seemed to have a mischievous air.
"A 0.25 card? You’re crafty, shop owner."
Li Pu helplessly smiled and shook his head.
But as long as it’s worth it, he’s willing to trade.
Next, the shop owner continued to bring out his private collection.
Some of which were eccentric, such that even Li Pu didn’t know how to use them.
Like the [Prankster Magician] that moves the opponent’s ace to the leftmost column of their side, scoring high at 15 points but with very low stats.
And the [Unstable Vanguard] that proactively reveals and self-destructs at the start, with points and stats irrelevant because it self-destructs anyway.
There was also [Devouring Spirit], which can consume allied same-type cards to strengthen itself. The conditions to trigger devouring were harsh, and the high cost wasn’t offset by a favorable conversion rate, making it not worth it.
The remaining individual cards didn’t attract Li Pu much.
Either they didn’t fit his lineup and tactics, or his card pool already had similar substitutes.
In the end, Li Pu used four of his own fusion cards that he realized were entirely unusable rare scraps to trade for a pile of cards, including the [Thunder-skin Half-Orc] set.
He was satisfied with the result.
The shop owner was also satisfied; a win-win.
Taking the cards, he went early to a corner to use the [Card-Making] opportunity, then returned to the dormitory.
But he returned not to rest, but to take Caocao+BuBu+Ugly Little Wolf away.
Now nearing midnight, according to the pact-making plan, it’s the best time to make a pact with Ugly Little Wolf.
So with them, he hired a taxi to head outside the metropolitan area.
He had been focused on card games for the past two days, and these guys had been having a blast.
Especially Caocao, which was said to be running rampant in the rest area, and now in the dorm area, wherever one went, you could always encounter its followers.
Today, upon hearing Ugly Little Wolf was joining the organization, Caocao and BuBu were even more excited.
They had started discussing how to welcome the new member.
Unfortunately, Ugly Little Wolf had yet to join the group chat and couldn’t understand their conversation.
The taxi stopped at the outskirts, and Li Pu, following a pre-prepared map, spent over an hour traversing wastelands to reach a large mountain.
It was the tallest mountain in the vicinity, uninhabited.
It fit Ugly Little Wolf’s pact requirements and wasn’t easily disturbed.
"Come on, let’s make a ladder."
Looking at the steep mountain wall, Li Pu turned to Caocao.
He could climb if necessary.
But with Caocao, there was no need to save energy.
[Caocao!]
Caocao: Summoner, leave it to Ben Cao!
Perhaps having not performed in a while, it seemed eager to seize the opportunity and surprisingly didn’t haggle.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
Thin jade-like vines emerged from the mountain wall, seemingly alive, arranging themselves into a long climbing ladder.
"Okay, let’s head up, hmm?"
Li Pu was about to set off, looking down to find that Ugly Little Wolf was no longer beside him.
Raising his eyes, he saw it had somehow ended up at the mountain’s foot.
[Whimper~]
Crackle!
An electric spark fired out; it seemed to be marking new territory again.
"That’s not a good habit; once telepathy is established, it needs proper training."
"Or it’ll cause trouble for me in the future."
Li Pu lamented while lifting it by the neck.
As for BuBu, it predictably bit onto Caocao’s nape.
Thus, man and grass started to ascend the peak.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the summit.
The area at the top was quite flat and spacious, making Ugly Little Wolf unusually excited once it got up there.
[Awoooo~Bop!]
It mimicked the howling of those cloud wolves, but the final "bop" sound betrayed its identity as a slime.
"Timing is just right."
Li Pu looked up at the sky, with no moon or stars in sight.
Looks like today’s luck is good.
