This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 384 - 344: Second Round Major Update

Through this card, Li Pu obtained a lot of information.

First of all, from the words "Wisdom," it’s clear that the seven types mentioned in the update must be Balance/Rage/Wisdom/Steadfast/Breakthrough/Chase the Wind/Listen to the Wind.

Then that 3/3 seems to be the Wisdom-type energy points.

"Wait, do all D-level cards have no skills?"

Thinking about this, Li Pu suddenly looked serious and quickly took out his beloved [Shield Mushroom].

[Shield Mushroom]

Steadfast, 7 points, C

Attack 20, 100/100, 0/3

[Quickly Crouch]: When Shield Mushroom enters the [Defense] state, it gains a total of 75% damage reduction

"Has the card rank been upgraded?"

Seeing this, Li Pu slightly relaxed.

It seems like the usual [Defense] is a 50% damage reduction, and Shield Mushroom has become 75%, continuing the previous skill.

However, judging by the increased health value, Shield Mushroom’s attack power has been indirectly weakened, changing from the previous 3 points to 20 points.

Worried that there might be more update information, Li Pu didn’t dare to look too much into it for now.

Until he waited for a while and no new information popped up in his mind did he decide to open his deck and browse slowly.

However, it was at this moment that Li Fan entered with Xiu Cangjia.

"The tournament just issued an emergency notice that the final round has been postponed for 3 days."

"Let’s go back and study the new version."

Li Fan straightforwardly took Li Pu away.

On the way back to the dormitory, all three were focused on the version update, so it was very silent.

"Teacher, what is the Cubic Card Metaverse?"

It was Li Pu who broke the silence first.

Li Fan: "I don’t know, maybe it’s the theme of the next new story."

Xiu Cangjia: "At the current pace, that might be a few months away, right?"

Li Fan: "Yeah, so there might be another version update midway through."

However, Li Pu completely couldn’t understand their conversation.

The three of them walked quickly, and soon they arrived at Li Fan’s spacious dormitory room.

Then they buried themselves in research together.

After about two hours of exploration, they finally figured out the main content of this update.

Besides the parts Li Pu had previously understood, the most important were two points.

The first point was that the meaning of card grades had changed.

D-grade = 0 skills

C-grade = 1 passive skill

B-grade = 1 active skill + 1 passive skill

A-grade = 1 active skill + 2 passive skills

S-grade = 2 active skills + 2 passive skills

Xiu Cangjia and Li Pu both have S-grade cards, although Li Fan once had an S-grade, he lost it.

The second point was about the seven types of cards.

Just as Li Pu had guessed earlier, the 3/3 of [Blue-head Mushroom] and the 0/3 of [Shield Mushroom] represent energy values.

It’s just that they have no skills, so the existence of these energy values is not very significant.

Among them, depending on their type, their energy value or performance state is also different.

1. Balance-type cards’ characteristic: Regardless of card grade, all skills are passive.

Only a few high-grade cards have skills, and they’re non-consumptive skills.

2. Rage-type cards’ characteristic: Releasing active skills consumes life points.

It seems that the required life points depend on the strength of the skill.

Unlike other types of cards, as long as there’s healing, Rage-type can theoretically use skills endlessly, making them quite formidable.

3. Wisdom-type cards’ characteristic: Starts at full charge, which is a unique exception among the seven types.

The downside is they cannot restore energy; the starting energy is all they have.

However, through certain cards’ functions, Wisdom-type can sometimes restore energy.

4. Steadfast-type cards’ characteristic: Gains 1 energy point every time it’s hit.

If not attacked throughout, Steadfast-type can’t use skills, making them relatively passive.

However, their skills are generally quite strong.

If necessary, they can gain energy by attacking themselves.

5. Breakthrough-type cards’ characteristic: Gains 1 energy point every time they attack.

For Breakthrough-type, they’re quite proactive.

Some cards can launch 2-3 attacks in a single turn, accumulating energy quite quickly.

6. Chase the Wind-type cards’ characteristic: Gains 1 energy point every active turn.

Whether attacking, defending, or using skills, they can gain energy.

Xiu Cangjia showcased a few excellent Chase the Wind-type cards during this period; theoretically, they could unleash skills continuously for several turns, akin to executing a combo.

7. Listen to the Wind-type cards’ characteristic: Gains 1 energy point every stationary turn.

Stationary means not taking any actions.

This is somewhat similar to Li Pu’s previous charging card [Shy Loser].

However, Listen to the Wind-type cards’ skills are generally quite powerful, somewhat resembling Steadfast-type.

Li Pu believes this version update enriches the Cubic Card’s content.

Simultaneously, due to the cancellation of defense, the game progress becomes faster-paced without appearing sluggish due to the seven types.

Overall, it’s advantageous for him.

Most crucially, he made a major personal discovery, which is the change in [Card Creation].

About this change, Li Pu shared with Li Fan only when others were not around.

Possibly as compensation for the removal of [Replacement Cards], [Card Creation] has been significantly enhanced.

Firstly, the usage frequency changed from about 2 times a day to 3 times.

Also, it increased multiple fusions.

However, multiple fusions have slightly more conditions.

That is, the two fusing cards must be of the same type.

For example, the [Shield Mushroom] that’s gone through one fusion can only fuse with Steadfast-type cards.

This Steadfast card can be an original card or one that’s gone through one fusion.

Cards that have undergone secondary fusion can only fuse with cards of the same type and also secondary fusion cards.

It seems to follow this pattern.

As for the fusion of two original cards, there is no same type limitation.

The update changes are so extensive that mastering them fully, reassembling a suitable new deck, and devising new strategies cannot be accomplished overnight; it requires a lot of practice.

But for the 500,000, yes, exactly 500,000.

Li Pu conducted a series of targeted preparations.

Since his own [Card Creation] is still there, he believes Ah Yajun’s card skills must also remain, so the opponent’s deck will inevitably still focus on shield cards.

If it’s just targeting a deck of one style, he can still come up with a suitable set of cards.

During the entire process, Li Fan also provided Li Pu with a lot of valuable guidance and even handed him several cards.

Three days passed by in a flash.

At the same time, the Southwest Star Cup venue was packed with people.

Vice Chairman: [Good evening, everyone!]

Vice Chairman: [Long time no see, I am your dear Vice Chairman!]

"Boo~" xN

King of Cards He: [Good evening, everyone, I’m Little He]

"King of Cards He! King of Cards He!"

"Long live King of Cards He!"

"Eternal glory to King of Cards He, unifying the world!"

"Step on me, King of Cards He~!"

"Crush us!"

Judging by the audience’s calls, the popularity of the two commentators is entirely different. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

But such hisses are something the Vice Chairman has enjoyed for over a decade, long getting used to it.

Vice Chairman: [The version update three days ago caused quite the earthquake in the card community!]

Vice Chairman: [And today, we have the honor of witnessing the first champion of the Southwest Star Cup under the new version!]

King of Cards He: [Indeed, it’s exciting to look forward to]

King of Cards He: [I’ve been researching new strategies for the past three days and found that today’s matches are much more diverse]

King of Cards He: [I wonder what kind of insights both players will have and what kind of duel they will bring us?]

The first match of the new version, and it’s to decide the champion.

It certainly sounds very promising.

To cater to the hot topic and audience demand, the organizers deliberately shuffled the third round’s order.

The match between Li Pu and Ah Yajun was held first to decide the champion.

As for the third-place match between Ji Rougui and Wu Xing, relatively few people cared.

"Ah Yajun! Ah Yajun!" xN

"Mushroom King! Mushroom King!"

Among the cheers of the audience, the two contestants finally arrived at the table.
