Chapter 1182: The real Duelists

Translator: 549690339 

“I … I actually lost …” Snow sat on the ground with a look of disbelief on his face. He muttered,”why … Why did my comprehensive and rigorous fighting style lose to your unreasonable and messy tactics?”

“Ha! What a joke.”Feng bujue laughed out loud.” You think my strategy is a mess because you’re too weak and have a weak will.”

“The will of the duelers …” Snow shook his head and smiled bitterly.”Heh … I still don’t know what that is.”

“Is that so …” Feng bujue replied.”Then, I’ll tell you a little.” He paused for half a second and continued,”just now … In the last round, if you and I were in the same position, I’m sure your choice would be different, right?”

Snow thought for a moment and nodded.”If it were me, first of all, I wouldn’t activate the special effect of the ‘thousand-year scale’ during the drawing of cards.”

“Why?” Feng bujue asked.

“In that situation, wouldn’t it be better to choose to draw a card?” Snow replied,”although you have the effect of [grudge], judging from the situation of [hand overdraft] and [magic Deathmatch], you have already drawn many magic and Trap Cards in a row. Therefore, the probability of you drawing a Monster Card is very high.”

“So what if I got it?” Feng bujue asked.

“Won’t we be able to summon him during the main stage if we draw him?” Snow replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Oh.” “Okay,” brother Jue replied indifferently.”And then?”

“Then, it’s the battle stage. If it were me … I wouldn’t have chosen Tamamo to attack [notera-Hiros.h.i.+].” Snow replied,”I’ll use [Sakamoto-kun], which also has 2000 attack power, to kill [notera-Hiros.h.i.+] together. Then, I’ll use Tamamo to attack [corpse monster]. This way … I can have one more G.o.dly card on the field to stand by because Tamamo-no-Mae will not be taken away by [drag to h.e.l.l].”

“Oh.” This time, Feng bujue only gave a half-hearted reply.

“After that, I used [Nameless King] ‘s two attacks to destroy [Shadow Token] and took out 5000 points of HP. In the end … I used the summon monster that I drew during the card drawing stage to make up for the last 500 hp.” Snow said,”this is the normal way of thinking!”

“Yes, this way of thinking reflects the gap between you and the ‘real duelers’.” Feng bujue added.

“Tsk … It’s clearly just luck. Could it be that you can deny that my strategy is more reasonable?” Snow retorted.

“Of course you can.” Feng bujue replied,”I’ll explain it to you step by step …” He paused before continuing,”first of all, there is a problem with the most basic part of your strategy because it is based on a ‘hypothesis’, and that hypothesis is that I will draw a summoned beast below four-star.”

“But in terms of probability …” Snow still wanted to continue.

However, Feng bujue cut him off.””In terms of probability, I may or may not get it. I just want to ask … What if I don’t get it?”

“Hmph …” Snow replied unhappily,”if you can’t get it, then so be it! So what if you got a magic card and it was discarded by the effects of [grudge]? According to my style of play, there could be one more G.o.d standing on the field!”

“Yes, we can have one more G.o.d standing on it.” Feng bujue replied,”but what is the price? If the price is ‘a certain chance’ that you’ll live to the next round,’I don’t think it’s worth it. Because as long as you can draw a card, it means you still have a chance to win. ”

“Ridiculous …” Snow said.”If my field is filled with ten cards and you have no cards … It’s your turn now, and you only have one card in your deck. Do you still think you can win?”

“Of course.” Feng bujue replied firmly. Then, he raised his dueling plate.”A real dueling player has a belief that no matter how bad the situation is, no matter how many ‘G.o.ds’ there are on the other side, or how strong those ‘G.o.ds’ are … As long as there is one card in my deck, there is still hope of winning.”

“That kind of belief is useless 99% of the time!” Snow said loudly,”in fact, how many extreme comebacks can there be? A card game is a game where you gradually acc.u.mulate an advantage and eventually turn it into a victory!”

“I don’t need you to tell me about this!” At that moment, Feng bujue suddenly shouted with excitement.

His shout gave snow a big scare.

From the start of the battle until now, brother Jue had been hot-blooded, Chuunibyou, ruffian, lunatic, and so on, but this was the first time he had shown such an expression.

“I know what card games are! I also know how to play with a high win rate!” Feng bujue shouted at the top of his lungs,”those ‘correct’ and ‘brilliant’ choices, as long as you spend some time … Everyone will be able to come up with them, and everyone will get the same answer. This is because the so-called ‘correct’ choice is nothing more than the choice that has a higher than 51% probability of leading you to victory. ”

He took a deep breath and continued,”then what about the” error “?” Out of a hundred choices, there were ninety-nine that would result in a loss. Naturally, it was a ‘wrong’ and ‘unreasonable’ choice. “Yes … I understand the logic …” At this point, he calmed down a little.”But should the strategy of only winning once in a hundred times be abandoned and ignored? Should the person who made that choice be despised and ridiculed?”

Hearing this, Snow’s expression changed. If it was before the duel, he would have scoffed at such a question and answered clearly,”yes.”

But at this moment, snow was also thinking …

He had played card games for many years, and he had indeed seen some players … Who would be very persistent in putting their favorite card into the deck, or even conceptualize the deck with the card as the core. Even though … The card itself did not even have any special effects.

A White Dragon, a black magician … From Snow’s point of view, those old cards that required two sacrifices to be summoned, but might not be able to defeat the monsters that were later summoned at a lower cost; The kind of card that relied on a pile of matching cards to barely have any effect; That kind of card, apart from its symbolic meaning, wasn’t really that strong … It wasn’t worth putting in any effort to develop it, let alone putting in any feelings.

The way to win was to directly choose a more powerful card and form a powerful, mainstream card set and routine. This was because the winning rate was something that would not lie. It was the embodiment of strength.

But Feng bujue … Clearly did not think that way.

As brother Jue spoke, he looked at the deck on his dueling plate.”A card game where everyone uses the ‘correct way of playing’ and ‘mature routines’ is a game that truly depends on luck. Because everyone’s thinking is the same and the routine is also common. Winning or losing depends on the restraint between the card sets, followed by the luck of the cards … As you said, the outcome is already 70% decided before the start of the game …”

At this point, he couldn’t help but sneer,””Hmph … That kind of game can’t be called a ‘duel’. Those who use common card sets and routines, adhere to fixed ideas, have no beliefs, and are self-satisfied with things like ‘winning rate’… Are not worthy of being called ‘Duelists’.”

Snow was shot several times in a row and was a little depressed. Fortunately, he did not consider himself a “Duelist” to begin with, so he was not angry.”Okay … I admit that you have faith. Although I don’t understand your ‘Duelist’ spirit, I respect your thoughts … However, I still have to ask you, Qianqian, if your so-called Duelist spirit is the kind of gambling, losing nine out of ten, what’s the point? Using faith as a cover when you’re defeated?”

“Who said I was gambling?” Feng bujue retorted,”the will of a Dueler does not mean that you will lose your thinking and calculation and fight blindly … On the contrary, my fighting style is the ultimate Fighting style that can complete ONE time KILL with one hundred percent certainty.”

“Hmph …” Snow was still a little unconvinced. He still believed that his solution was better and more stable.”Now that you’ve won, of course you dare to say that.”

“I haven’t finished explaining just now.” Feng bujue continued the previous topic.”Do you think … I activated the thousand-year scale because I was worried about being discarded by the effect of [grudge] or because I wanted to replenish my 1000p?”

“Isn’t that so?” Snow replied.

“The real reason I gave up on drawing the card at that time was …” Feng bujue gave the answer directly.”If I had drawn the card then … There was a certain chance that I would have drawn the scary clown.”

When these words entered Snow’s ears, it was as if he had been enlightened. His mind buzzed and his expression changed.

“It seems like you understand.” Feng bujue said.

“You … At that time …” Snow stammered in a trembling voice,”…You already thought of it …”

“No, when I activated [magic Deathmatch], I had already thought of all the subsequent steps.” Feng bujue interrupted him.”However, before we enter my round, there are still a few unknown factors … And that is your trump cards.” He paused for a second and said,”if you have a card that can ‘immediately destroy the monster that the other party summons’, you can send it back to the cemetery before the special effect of the [Nameless King] is restored at the ‘end of your turn’.

“It’s a pity … You don ‘t.

“When I start my turn,[Nameless King]” s special effect will be fully restored. After using the ‘thousand year eyes’ to look at your cards, I knew … That you were already dead.

“Everything that happened after that was within my calculations.

“Giving up on the drawing stage will ensure that the horror clown will still be in my deck. That way, I can activate the chain effect of the ‘thousand-year key’ and ‘thousand-year jewelry’ in the secondary stage and pull them out. This, in combination with Tamamo-no-Mae’s death effect, will give you 1000 points of damage.

“I used Tamamo no Mae and [notera-Ho] to die together during the battle in order to obtain her death special effect. If I did as you said and used [Sakamoto-kun] to attack [notera-Hiros.h.i.+] and Tamamo-no-Mae to attack [dismembered corpse], you’re right … At the end of my round, there was indeed an additional G.o.d standing on my field. However, this G.o.d’s death special effect did not trigger. In the end … I will only be short of 500 hp of damage and let you live to the next round.

“As for your fighting style … As I’ve said before, in the end, it’s based on the ‘a.s.sumption’ that I can draw a summoned beast below four stars … So, it’s still the same question … What if I can’t draw it?”

There was another round of silence. This time, snow had nothing to say.

After a while, the “organizer” stood up again and sighed.”Haha … I’m really defeated by you.” He shook his head, spread his hands, and said,”is this the ‘real Duelists’… He seems … Quite handsome.”

“No,” she said. To his surprise, after being praised, Feng bujue denied it. “If I lose, all that’s left is Chuunibyou and shame. You have to know … My posture, lines, spirit, and technique are all well-practiced, so I suggest that non-professionals do not easily imitate me, so as not to humiliate themselves. ”

“Hehe …” Snow laughed and said,”don’t worry, I will take it slow.” It seemed that he was really going to go down the path of no return as a Dueler.”In the future, you can come to [crazy thinking] and play a few rounds with me when you have time. I think this game is quite interesting. However … The next time we have a ‘duel’, don’t gamble anymore. Just have some fun. ”

“Hey, hey … Did you get something wrong?” “I have no intention of building a good relations.h.i.+p with someone like you,” Feng bujue said.”Furthermore … I don’t have as much free time as you, someone who owns so many a.s.sets. I still have a proper job to do.”

What he said was a bit of nonsense. In 2055, when nerve-connected games were already popular … As long as you had time to sleep, you had time to play games.

“Haha…Don’t be so formal, Mr Crow. ” Snow smiled and changed the way he addressed him.”We still have a lot in common …” At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something and changed the subject.”Oh, right, I’m also a member of the ‘King of gambling house’.”

“What vegetarian? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” When Feng bujue heard the word ‘too’, he had a bad feeling, and when he heard the words ‘Royal gambling house’, he put on a poker face and started to play dumb.

“Alright, stop playing dumb.” “Of course.” Snow smiled.”When we were on the Yage, due to time constraints, my subordinates only managed to find out the surface information about ‘Jiang daode’. Hence, they were not clear about the situation. However, after that … I used some of my connections in the ‘underground world’ and found out more or less what happened. ”

“Tsk … I knew you’d probably be a member too.” Feng bujue saw that he could not hide the truth any longer, so he accepted it. “But … The relations.h.i.+p between members of the Royal gambling house is not that kind of friends.h.i.+p, right?”

“Hey, there’s no rule that says we can’t have a personal relations.h.i.+p, right?” Snow continued,”brother Feng …” As he spoke, he changed the way he addressed brother Jue.”Even if you’re not my consultant, you can at least be my ‘partner’ occasionally, right? Let me tell you … A while ago, there was a fat man named Jin who said he wanted to bet tens of thousands of manpower on a batch of advanced firearms and equipment with me. I thought … After all, he has millions of troops under him, and I’m afraid that even the Royal gambling house can’t handle it, so I didn’t dare to go … But if you’re willing to go with me, with our strength …”

“Stop! Thank you!” Feng bujue did not allow the man to finish, mainly because what Snow had said so far was already very outrageous.”You’re not done yet, are you? If you really want to look for that person, you can go by yourself. Or you can send a message to the Royal gambling house saying ‘start a game, meet up in front of the spring water on the map of the North and have a fight’. Anyway, I’m not going. ” He quickly brought the topic back on track.”Enough chit-chat, I’ve won now. ‘That thing’… When and in what form are you going to give it to me?”
