This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 370 - 337: External Factors
Since the draw results were already known, Li Pu had looked up this person’s information in advance.
First-year at Hedou University, Cube Card major, Ke Mogu.
His deck consisted of a mixed beast type and a half-plant half-aquatic type.
Skilled in tactics such as endurance, strong attack, and defensive counter-attack.
From the more detailed data on the specific deck, Li Pu felt it would be relatively easy to deal with this person.
At this moment, Ke Mogu was a bit depressed.
Because just not long ago, he was harshly scolded, somewhat affecting his mood.
As he had drawn Li Pu’s name as his opponent, he too made preparations in advance.
At that time, he called a number from the ranking list, intending to buy cards targeted at mushroom types.
The first time, he seemed to have dialed the wrong number.
The second time he called, he was met with a barrage of insults from the other side.
Things like wishing your trump cards would explode, forgetting to reveal cards each turn, missing commands every action round, and so on.
All were harsh curses related to cube cards, not involving personal attacks, but quite hurtful to a competitor in the tournament.
Fortunately, later on, he managed to buy a set of cards targeting mushrooms through the introduction of another information broker.
Yes, an entire set.
"Alright, now I declare the game officially started."
With the staff’s command, both sides entered the official card-revealing phase.
[Eat Mushrooms!]
The first card revealed was from Ke Mogu’s left side.
A projection of a large lizard with mushrooms growing on its back, flicking its tongue as it crawled out of the card.
[Mushroom Eater Lizard] -13 points, C
10/10
Attack 2, Defense 2
[Fear Mushroom Aura]: After Mushroom Eater Lizard is revealed, all mushroom reveals this game have their attack/defense reduced by 1.
[Crazy Mushroom Eating]: When Mushroom Eater Lizard attacks a mushroom card, it can attack another mushroom card in addition.
As soon as this card appeared, the audience started buzzing with conversation.
"Tsk tsk tsk, another card countering mushrooms."
"Seems like every game with Mushroom Tournament has opponents like these."
"Can’t be helped, he has only one set of mushroom cards, naturally he gets targeted."
"Ladies and gentlemen, let’s see how he plans to turn this around."
They were already used to this situation, not even feeling nervous for Li Pu.
"Ah..."
But when Li Pu saw this card, his mouth opened slightly.
This reaction made Ke Mogu smile slightly.
Great, this was exactly what he wanted to see.
It was worth the Crystal Coins he spent, buying this entire set of anti-mushroom cards.
(Bring out as many mushroom cards as you like.)
He thought to himself.
[Eat Mushrooms!]
The second card revealed was also Ke Mogu’s.
The card’s projection was a splendid large tiger, walking with steady steps, exuding the majesty of the king of beasts.
However, the ears replaced with two mushroom shapes made it appear less fierce and more adorable.
[Mushroom Eater Tiger] -10 points, D
10/10
Attack 3, Defense 2
[Tiger’s Might Suppression]: After Mushroom Eater Tiger is revealed, the first mushroom card directly in front of it has its attack/defense reduced by 2.
Although the stats weren’t high and it was a lower grade, in terms of suppression of single mushroom cards, [Mushroom Eater Tiger] seemed stronger than [Mushroom Eater Lizard].
"Oh no, now Mushroom Tournament is in trouble."
"Two counter cards, this is really tough."
"Just from the stats, so many values are reduced. Can he really handle this?"
"This is a sinking ship for sure."
"Is our Mushroom Tournament really going to end here?"
"Oh well, he’s only ranked 99, entering the top 100 is already lucky enough."
"Indeed, if his matches had started a few rounds earlier, he wouldn’t have made it to the top 100."
After the second card was revealed, most of the audience had given up hope.
"Ah this..."
Li Pu’s mouth opened even wider at this point.
"Heh heh."
Ke Mogu, who was observing his opponent’s expression the whole time, thought if this was his surprise now, he would be even more astonished later.
[Eat Mushrooms!]
As luck would have it, the third card revealed was still his.
A sheep with meek expressions and gestures, chewing away as it walked out of the card face.
Unlike ordinary sheep, its body is covered with tiny mushrooms instead of wool.
This makes many people with trypophobia feel disgusted just looking at it.
While everyone was wondering what it was eating, suddenly the sheep swallowed, then reached over and tore a piece of mushroom from its body and started chewing again.
Just this action alone allows one to imagine that this is no ordinary Mogu card.
Eating its own mushrooms, what kind of insane card is this?
[Mushroom-Eating Sheep] -15 points, C
10/10
Attack 2, Defense 2
[Appetite Driven]: Each time a mushroom card is unveiled this game, the Mushroom-Eating Sheep gains Attack/Defense/Health +1
[Continuous Mushroom Eating]: Each time the Mushroom-Eating Sheep participates in defeating a mushroom card, it gains an extra opportunity this round to attack a mushroom card
"Oh my God! This Mogu card is too powerful!"
"As expected, when it comes to eating mushrooms, herbivorous animals are the strongest..."
"Just this one card feels like it could obliterate a mushroom card deck."
"With 6 regular cards on the board, that makes the sheep 2+6, 2+6, 16/16, wow."
"It’s over, the Mushroom Contest is completely over."
"It feels like just these three cards are enough to crush his six mushroom cards."
With this card’s appearance, the audience familiar with Li Pu completely turned against him, and no one thought he could win anymore.
"Hahahahaha!"
Listening to the discussions in the audience, Ke Mogu couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Did they really think he would give up here? NO!
Next up, his three regular covered cards + trump card, all are Mogu cards!
Let’s see how your Mushroom Contest dies this time!
"Ah this... it’s really great!"
Yet with his mouth agape, Li Pu uttered these words.
[Crackling!]
[Come on! Shock me!]
[Feel the wrath of the thunder!]
His three starting cards were unveiled one by one, and in an instant, lightning erupted on the table.
Compared to the earlier Mogu cards, the audience was even more astonished by these three cards.
"What the heck?!"
"What are these cards! Not a single one related to mushrooms!"
"So he was hiding a lightning deck all this time?!"
"Really patient, holding back since the group stage to show it only at the round of 128?"
"Mushroom Contest! Where did our Mushroom Contest go?"
"I just became a mushroom card fan..."
"He gave up on faith, which is truly disappointing."
"That’s right, the mushroom cards may have lost, but with honor!"
"Bring back our mushroom cards!"
"Unfollowing, unfollowing."
"Massive Lightning, what do you think of this name?"
Unexpectedly, Li Pu, due to his performance in this competition, gained a group of fans he definitely didn’t want.
The worst part was some oblivious person even attempted to give him a new nickname.
Angrily looking towards the source of the voice, he found it was Chang Shoushang.
It seemed he couldn’t go a day without causing trouble, itching all over.
But if anyone had the biggest reaction to seeing these three cards, it was surely Ke Mogu.
"You you you... where are your mushroom cards?!"
He stuttered while pointing at Li Pu, his face so pale it was unnoticeable, since his skin was black.
At this moment, Ke Mogu felt completely thrown off.
Especially with this experience, it felt like a betrayal, truly unsettling.
"No one said you have to play mushroom cards, right."
To this, Li Pu just shrugged and spread his hands.
Honestly speaking, this game turned out a bit unexpectedly.
He didn’t anticipate the opponent would bring out so many Mogu cards.
If his three starting cards had really been three mushroom meat shields, he would definitely have had to rely on [Dragon Lady Tree] to finish.
Now it’s nice, safely passing another round.
As for why Li Pu chose to use a newly acquired lightning deck in this game, it’s all because of that ranking list.
As a classic line once said:
"I came here today not to prove how great I am, but to show everyone that I’m not just about mushroom cards."
The final result of this game naturally needs no more explanation.
Mogu cards against non-mushroom cards, Li Pu won overwhelmingly.
