[Snowflake Friends]: Oh wow, someone from the Gold rank is actually running on the beginner track.

[PiaoPiaoXiXiXi]: Kid, you've run into a fish bomb.

[Brother on the Opposite Side Spare Me]: Huh? Seniors, is this the legendary fish bombing?

[Men of Sentiment and Justice 021]: Is this the difficulty of challenging a 10-game streak in the ranking match?

[Steak Can't Arrange Troops]: Hahaha, this difficulty is really off the charts.

"Fish bomb?"

Upon hearing the spectators' words, Li Pu was taken aback.

Quickly, everyone explained it clearly to him.

It was strange, though, that as they conversed, the opponent [Thunder Lord Assists Me Thunder Lord] remained completely silent.

Even when Li Pu greeted them, he got no response, as the opponent just quietly arranged their deck.

[Snowflake Friends]: Don't bother with him, he can't hear you.

[PiaoPiaoXiXiXi]: Yes, people who fish bomb usually block all information.

[Brother on the Opposite Side Spare Me]: Because they're afraid of being cursed at, hahahaha.

[Steak Can't Arrange Troops]: But they won't block spectators.

[Snowflake Friends]: Of course, fish bombing without an audience isn't interesting at all.

[Steak Can't Arrange Troops]: Their mentality is really dark, these fish bombers.

[PiaoPiaoXiXiXi]: Come on, dare you say you've never fish bombed?

[Men of Sentiment and Justice 021]: Occasionally fish bombing… is quite fun indeed.

Gradually, the topic began to shift.

This phenomenon, in fact, is quite normal.

Because throughout this spectator journey, Li Pu's performance was observed by everyone.

Despite achieving a 9-game winning streak, the process was certainly rocky.

Many matches involved intense battles.

The primary issue was that his card pool was visibly shallow.

The lack of depth here refers to the low rank of the cards.

Except for that card [Gun Aphid], there were only one or two C-rank cards, with the rest being all D-rank.

To be honest, they felt Li Pu's victories were largely due to luck.

Because even with low-ranked cards, he managed to consistently match his deck to perfectly counter or slightly advantage against the opponent.

The reason the beginner track is called the beginner track is because luck plays such a huge role.

In a 3+1 card game, the most important aspect is the deck arrangement.

If you happen to set up a deck that counters the opponent, your win rate increases significantly.

While a 6+1 or 9+1 card game becomes more complex, with varied player deck arrangements.

Tactics are no longer single tactics; a deck might contain three or four different tactics.

And an excellent player would form a closed loop among different tactics in their deck, complementing each other's weaknesses.

Additionally, with increased card numbers, a player's operability increases significantly.

Choices during action turns and psychological games with opponents are areas that showcase a player's skill.

Cube cards never feature skills or attributes related to chance because they aim to minimize the influence of uncertainty.

By eliminating luck elements, the game moves towards an honest skill-based confrontation between players.

Admittedly, luck is inherently part of skill and should be acknowledged.

So, although everyone feels Li Pu's 9 consecutive wins might have been lucky, none of them think this achievement is undeserved.

Therefore, now facing a fish-bomb player, most people are on Li Pu's side.

[Snowflake Friends]: Fish bombers usually choose an aggressive strategy, be cautious.

[Men of Sentiment and Justice 021]: Right, bringing a healing card this turn would be good.

[PiaoPiaoXiXiXi]: My advice is not to struggle, just give up resisting.

[Steak Can't Arrange Troops]: Stop saying such defeatist things, don't you want to see a 10-win streak?

[Brother on the Opposite Side Spare Me]: Go for it, you can't lose to fish bombers after beating me.

The most unexpected thing for Li Pu was that Brother Spare Me was actually cheering him on.

Given the different levels of opponents, Li Pu took some time to think.

He found Snowflake Friends' advice to be very reasonable.

Fish bomb players usually aim for that overwhelming thrill, so choosing a quick and strong attack strategy is the most probable.

It's impossible to be like the previous round with [Mr. Runner-Up], drag on for dozens of turns.

If they did that, it'd feel like they're a fish too, not someone coming to fish bomb.

So, in this round Li Pu didn't place [Shield Mushroom] for the first card.

Instead, he chose a card more suitable for countering fast and strong attack flow, also rated 7 points.

[Three-Headed Mushroom] - 7 points, D

13/13

Attack 3+3, Defense 3+3

[Three-Headed Fluctuation]: After revealing, Three-Headed Mushroom gains +3/+3/+3, but declines by 1/1/1 each turn until it exits the stage.

This card's initial stats are impressive.

It has 13 health, 6 attack, and 6 defense.

If adopting a [Defense] stance, it would have 9 points of Defense, higher than [Shield Mushroom].

However, this is only during its first revealed turn.

As turns go on, [Three-Headed Mushroom] gets weaker and weaker.

Its attack and defense ultimately become 0 by the sixth turn in play.

If it doesn't take any damage, it will exhaust its health and exit by turn 13.

In the card game, it's impossible not to take damage, so it probably won't last more than 13 turns, maybe not even 2 or 3 turns.

The only advantage of this card is its initial strength, ideal for countering quick and strong attack flow.

As for the second and third cards, Li Pu temporarily chose [Low-Level Earth Element] + [Gun Aphid].

It's just temporary; adjustments can be made based on the specific situation during the game.

The ace choice follows the same thought process.

The opponent had already set up their deck, so once Li Pu finished arranging his, the game immediately began.

Contrary to expectations that the first reveal phase would be ordinary, it instantly hit Li Pu like a bolt.

Buzz!

A light beam shot up.

The opponent's first card was revealed first.

Logically, next should be Li Pu's [Three-Headed Mushroom] reveal, but it delayed.

Buzz!

Instead, the opponent's second card raised a light beam and was revealed.

[Brother on the Opposite Side Spare Me]: Holy moly, they're linked cards!

Even at this stage, it wasn't over yet.

Buzz!

The third card was revealed.

[Snowflake Friends]: Feeling an ominous premonition, haha.

Buzz!

The ace card was revealed.

[Brother on the Opposite Side Spare Me]: Wow, can it actually be this way!

[PiaoPiaoXiXiXi]: Fish bombing tactics really are something else.

"… What do you mean by this?"

Li Pu stood there, dumbfounded.

Why does the opponent's tactics feel similar to his previous quick mushroom strategy?
