Xie Mingzhe temporarily withdrew from the Phoenix Star Region. He needed to stop and sort out his thoughts.

At this time, the system sounded a prompt: "Your arena opponent Ke Xiaoke wants to add you as a friend."

Xie Mingzhe was approved for the application.

The other party immediately sent a voice message like a little fanboy: "Uncle Fat! You beat me so hard just now, I didn't react at all. I thought I could win, but at the last minute you beat 6 cards in a row. It was thrilling! Exciting!"

Xie Mingzhe: “…………”

Young man, you are so excited about being abused, is that okay?

The other party obviously had something wrong, and said excitedly: "Can you add me to the guild? I have been playing this game for several years, and I was kicked back to Star Card Apprentice because of the forced downgrade in the new season. My usual rank is Senior Star Card Expert, and I can also play in the Guild League."

Ke Xiaoke was trying so hard to promote himself that he was almost shouting "Big sale in the mall, buy one get one free".

Xie Mingzhe suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Sister Qing, and you can contact her about joining the club."

After making arrangements for Xiao Ke, Xie Mingzhe went to find Chen Qianlin to report the battle situation to his master.

Chen Qianlin said, "Not bad, thirty consecutive wins. Send me the video recordings of these thirty games that you think are meaningful."

Xie Mingzhe only sent the video of the last game to his master.

Although there were some eye-catching operations in the previous winning streak, the opponents were not very strong. Ke Xiaoke was the opponent with the clearest thinking and the fastest reaction that he encountered in the ranked game today. If it weren't for his careful calculation, and Ke Xiaoke was too impatient to use the group healing skill in advance, he would have lost this game.

Chen Qianlin was very surprised when he saw the video, because he found that his young apprentice was smarter than he thought.

Most new players will play cards according to a fixed routine when they get a deck. Once the skill connection is interrupted, they will be flustered and don’t know how to deal with it. But in this game, when Sun Ce and Lu Xun were killed at the beginning, Xie Mingzhe calmly made the most correct decision - to keep Sun Shangxiang in the late stage.

When Zhou Yu and Lu Meng were attacked, he completely ignored these two cards and left all the crowd control, healing, and even joint skill status bonuses of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to Sun Shangxiang.

He quickly withdrew Sun Shangxiang from the battlefield, looked for an opportunity to shoot two cold arrows, and when the opponent killed four of his cards in a row, resulting in a 7v3 situation, Xie Mingzhe blocked the cooldown time of the opponent's treatment. Xiao Qiao controlled the group, and Sun Shangxiang launched a wave of continuous shooting to win!

This game was won beautifully. Not only did the skill connection take into account, but also Sun Shangxiang's 50% increased damage, the opponent's skill cooldown time, and the card's health were all taken into consideration.

It's hard to believe he's a newcomer.

Chen Qianlin couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever played the game Star Card Storm before?"

Xie Mingzhe scratched his head and said honestly, "I have never played it. However, I thought about it for a long time today and have some understanding of the game. I don't know if it is correct."

Chen Qianlin encouraged, "Tell me about it."

Xie Mingzhe cleared his throat and answered the teacher's question seriously: "My understanding is that the seven cards are like my seven pets, with a total of fourteen skills and some joint bonuses. I calculated the skills of each card separately, and the agility attribute is equivalent to the skill reading speed. The skills of a card with full agility of 100 are all instant. For cards that are not full agile, the skill reading time is 0.2-1 second depending on the agility data, so you have to predict the release in advance."

"For example, in the last game, because the opponent had five attacking ghost cards and too much firepower, I couldn't keep all my cards, so I could only bet on Sun Shangxiang to harvest them in the late stage. The opponent used the treatment early, so I thought, he has a 45-second cooldown, and my Sun Shangxiang can shoot arrows three times. The first two times I shoot arrows, I will hit the ones with high health. In this way, 6 out of 7 cards will have low health. The third time Sun Shangxiang shoots, it will be easy to harvest them. As long as I am not unlucky enough to hit the ghost with the highest health, then I will win."

"The probability of hitting the ghost lady with the pursuit attack is only 1/6 at the beginning. After killing a card, it becomes 1/5, 1/4... Even if Sun Shangxiang happens to hit the ghost lady with the highest health and cannot kill her instantly to trigger the pursuit attack, I am not afraid. As long as the opponent dies more than 4 cards, my two healing cards, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, will protect Sun Shangxiang and slowly consume her health. She will still be able to fight."

"…………" The more Chen Qianlin listened, the more he admired it.

Xie Mingzhe's analysis of the entire game was very clear and his choice of playing style was very reasonable.

Those who only know how to play the game according to the master's routine are destined to have difficulty in achieving greatness. Only by thinking and understanding by yourself can you truly understand the secrets of this game arena, and when you encounter stronger opponents in the future, you can also quickly analyze how to deal with them.

In fact, the seven cards do not have to be played according to a fixed routine. The fourteen skills can be randomly shuffled and combined at will to produce different effects. Chen Qianlin was surprised that he could realize this so quickly.

Chen Qianlin looked at his apprentice's 30-game winning streak, smiled slightly, and said, "Reaching the Star Card Expert level is just the beginning of the challenge. I think you need at least half a month to train at the Expert level."

Xie Mingzhe was a little distressed: "But I'm about to start school, so I'll have less time to play in the arena."

Chen Qianlin asked unexpectedly: "Are you a student?"

Xie Mingzhe had never told his master that he was a student. He said, "I am a student of the Fine Arts Department of Imperial University. The school will officially start on September 1st. I wonder if the school's course load is heavy? If the classes are too many, I will practice slowly in my spare time."

Chen Qianlin said gently, "Don't worry, there aren't many art classes."

Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "How did Master know?"

Chen Qianlin said, "I have a friend who is a professor in the Department of Fine Arts at Imperial University. The Department of Fine Arts doesn't have many theoretical courses, most of them are practical courses. As long as you complete your homework on time, you have more freedom in terms of time."

Xie Mingzhe felt relieved after hearing this: "That's good!"

Chen Qianlin said, "Don't worry about your studies. If you can make it to the Masters next season and officially register as a professional player, you can apply to the school to adjust your course, take leave during the competition, and make up for it during the offseason. Many college students do this."

Xie Mingzhe asked curiously, "Are there many college students among the professional athletes?"

Chen Qianlin said, "Xiao Tang was also a freshman when you played in the competition. He is considered your senior. He is from the School of Economics at Imperial Capital University and only graduated last year. Pei Jingshan is from the Department of Philosophy and also graduated last year. You have quite a few alumni. Imperial Capital University has a relatively open school spirit. As long as students do not violate school rules during their time at school, the school will generally not make things difficult for you."

Xie Mingzhe understood: "Yes, then I feel relieved!"

These alumni are obviously top students with high academic scores. He is an art student, and being admitted to the Fine Arts Department can also benefit from the reputation of a prestigious school.

Chen Qianlin continued, "First, use this deck to concentrate on playing ranked games. Bring along Huang Gai and your ten instant death cards. In the dark card mode, adjust your lineup more and get in touch with other people's strategies. This will be very helpful for you in the later stages of the competition."

Xie Mingzhe was busy rushing to Star Card Expert because the expert rank would unlock the dark card mode. After being exposed to the new mode, his deck would definitely not be able to win in a row. Next, he should calm down, play more ranked games, and familiarize himself with various deck routines.

He still has a lot of room for improvement and there is no need to be impatient.

***

In the game, Ke Xiaoke was frantically recommending himself to Chi Qing: "Sister Qing, I'm a die-hard fan of Uncle Pang. I used to build my own guild, and although it was disbanded, I'm very experienced! I've participated in all kinds of guild dungeon groups and guild leagues. Just add me to the Nirvana Guild, I'll definitely be able to help!"

Chi Qing asked calmly, "What's your rank in the arena?"

Ke Xiaoke said: "My 29-game winning streak just happened to be ended by running into Uncle Fatty! I will play two more games and immediately advance to the beginner expert level. Last season, I almost reached the master level. After adjusting my deck this season, I will definitely be able to reach the highest level of Star Card Master level!"

Chi Qing thought that the guild just needed management in the field of competitive sports, so he accepted this guy into the Nirvana Guild.

Ke Xiaoke asked enthusiastically: "Sister Qing, are we going to participate in this week's guild league?"

Chi Qing said: "Our guild has just been established, and most of the people we have recruited are copyists. There are less than 50 people who have reached the level of Star Card Expert."

Ke Xiaoke: "Oh! Then let's go to the arena. Once there are 100 experts, we can sign up!"

Chi Qing: "Well, I'll report back next week."

Ke Xiaoke closed the conversation with Chi Qing and immediately sent a message to Fat Uncle: "Fat Uncle Qing has added me to the guild! Do you know why I am your fan?"

Xie Mingzhe was speechless: "It must be because of my card. Could it be because of my fat face?"

Ke Xiaoke laughed for a while and said, "I like the Zhong Kui card you made the most. The ghost-catching skill can directly destroy the ghost card. But Uncle Fatty, you have made so many character cards, are you interested in making some ghost cards?"

Xie Mingzhe asked, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Ke Xiaoke said: "The Joker card is dominated by Gui Sirui. Players who like horror and supernatural styles are all crazy fans of Gui Gui. I don't really like his assassination-style play. The Joker card can obviously be played very violently!"

Many professional players will open up the copyright of some cards after they become famous, so that players in the game can pay a small copyright fee to copy them, which is also a benefit for fans. For example, Shanlan's bird deck, Nie Yuandao's beast deck, and Tang Muzhou's plant deck all have some cards open copyright. Gui Sirui is a special person. He has open copyright for all his cards just to promote the play style of joker cards.

It can be seen that he is a veteran horror style enthusiast, and the variety of joker cards he made is no worse than other decks.

Speaking of the joker card, Xie Mingzhe couldn't help but think of the underworld in Journey to the West. Strictly speaking, Zhong Kui is also a ghost, not a character, because he is one of the four judges under King Yan.

If Xie Mingzhe continues to make joker cards, of course there are many materials to use, such as Meng Po, Black and White Impermanence, other judges, Yan Wang, etc., but he doesn't want to do it for the time being. His own character card deck is not perfect enough, and he needs to make more character cards first. In addition, he doesn't know what kind of person Gui Sirui is. Making joker cards is equivalent to stealing someone else's job, which is not good after all. It's better to understand it clearly before taking action.

Xie Mingzhe thought for a moment and said, "I don't have the energy to make jokers right now, let's talk about it later."

Ke Xiaoke: "I really like your painting style, Fat Uncle. I look forward to seeing you make some joker cards! I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to go to the competitive forum for a while!"

Ke Xiaoke opened the built-in forum competition section in the game and saw a post on the homepage -

"Is there anyone who can crack Uncle Fatty's character deck?"

The two words "Fat Uncle" immediately caught his attention, and he clicked on it to take a look. It turned out that this morning a girl was playing at the Star Card Apprentice level, and was beaten by Fat Uncle in one wave. She was so confused that she ran to the forum's competitive section to ask for help.

She posted Uncle Fat's deck information on the forum, attracting a large number of discussions from competitive players.

At the same time, the professional league players -

Ye Zhu popped up and posted a screenshot, saying, "Uncle Fat is going to the arena. Here's his deck. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Shan Lan knew about this a long time ago. The president showed him the video of the game at noon. Fatty defeated the beast card of a new member of the Judgment Guild and the bird card group of a girl, ending their winning streak. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhu also knew about this. He asked in surprise, "Xiao Zhu, how did you know? Have you become a fan of Fatty and follow his movements every day?"

Ye Zhu sent a spitting blood emoji: "I'm not his fan! I saw it on the official forum. A girl was completely beaten by Uncle Fatty in the arena this morning. She took a screenshot of her deck and posted it on the forum for everyone to find a way to crack it. The post has been turned over hundreds of pages and everyone is discussing it very lively. Uncle Fatty is really a celebrity now."

At ten o'clock in the evening, all the major clubs had finished their daily training and the professional players were relatively free, so they used this event to relieve their boredom.

Seven neat character cards, the skill connection is very smooth, and the data balance is almost perfect...

Zheng Feng couldn't help but ask, "Who is coaching him? I don't believe a new player can improve so quickly. This deck can be used directly to participate in the National Masters Tournament!"

Nie Yuandao immediately clarified: "It wasn't me. Two people from the Judgment Guild had their winning streak interrupted by Uncle Fatty this morning."

Ling Jingtang was shocked: "It definitely wasn't me. I'm not familiar with Fatty Uncle."

Tang Muzhou also stood up and said with a smile: "It's not me. I didn't direct this deck." Although he was the one who directed the previous instant death cards, he couldn't take all the blame.

After posting the message in the group, Tang Muzhou immediately turned on his tablet and sent a private message to Uncle Fatty: "After defeating the dungeon monsters, are you going to defeat the arena? Who is the mysterious person who is guiding you?"

Xie Mingzhe: “It’s not convenient to say.”

It’s your master, and he won’t let me say it.

Tang Muzhou said helplessly: "The group has started discussing your Arena deck again. I found that you are the most talked about person in the alliance group this year. When you are mentioned, everyone seems to be very interested in chatting."

"..." Because I am your alliance's public enemy? I made so many instant death cards. Xie Mingzhe touched his nose and coughed, then changed the subject: "What was the result of your group discussion?"

Tang Muzhou said: "They discussed four ways to crack this deck."

Xie Mingzhe's eyes widened: "Four types are so many? How to crack it? Tell me quickly!"

Tang Muzhou: "I can't tell you."

Xie Mingzhe: “???”

Tang Muzhou said seriously: "Unless you tell me who is the master who is guiding you behind the scenes, I will tell you the results of our discussion."

Xie Mingzhe said with a headache: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Do you want to get words out of me?"

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "Information exchange, is that fair?"

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "Then I won't exchange. One day you will know, and then it may be a surprise, or a shock - I can keep it a secret, so you can guess it yourself."

Tang Muzhou: “…………”

Why does this guy sound like he deserves a beating?

Guess it yourself? Tang Muzhou rubbed his temples with a headache, totally clueless. It was the first time he realized that he could be helpless sometimes. Fatty's suspense made him extremely curious. Surprise? Or shock?

Who is it?
