Chapter 626 - 461: Kick the Can Lineup
Next, Ji Jiao and Hu Wei began to explain the BOSS rules to the two.
BOSS monsters are quite rare in the Cubic Cards Metaverse.
So far, Ji Jiao has only seen one once, while Hu Wei has experienced facing a BOSS twice.
Each BOSS has very distinct characteristics, absolutely unmistakable.
That is, their bodies emit a wispy red glow, like the one on the podium.
"The strength of those Dragon Soldiers we just faced was terrifyingly high, is the BOSS going to be even stronger?"
Ah Yajun posed his worried question.
The ace [Dragon Soldier] monster card has a high vitality of 600 points and with the skill activated, it’s 1200 points.
If the BOSS is stronger, I’m really not sure if we can defeat it.
"That’s right, the strength of a BOSS can only be higher, never lower, and often several times over."
Hu Wei’s words undoubtedly confirmed Ah Yajun’s worries.
"So when facing a BOSS, is it still only four people?"
Li Pu felt that if they calculate it that way, it would take 4 people with a total of 16 cards all at S-level to defeat it.
That’s too exaggerated and doesn’t seem very realistic.
Given Lanlan Town’s size, it’s uncertain if the whole town can come up with even one S-level card, let alone 16.
"Bro, you’ve hit the nail on the head; it actually depends on the BOSS’s level."
"BOSSes also exist in grades, DCBA S."
"The higher the level, the more challengers it can accommodate."
Ji Jiao further explained.
D-level BOSS is the weakest, so it can only accommodate 4 players at a time.
C-level BOSS is slightly stronger, allowing two teams of adventurers, or 8 people, to challenge.
B-level, 16 people.
A-level, 30 people.
S-level, 50 people.
"Judging by the intensity of the light, that one is likely a C-level BOSS."
"Maybe we need to go back and get reinforcements."
Hu Wei suggested.
"Sis is right, but we can’t return empty-handed."
"At least we need to bring back some intelligence on the BOSS."
As the son of the town mayor, Ji Jiao is also very responsible.
Li Pu and Ah Yajun understood what this meant; even with the certainty of defeat, they’re going to confront the BOSS today.
Hopefully, they can gather some information on its deck to provide intelligence for the real assault.
"With your [Blue Force Shield], and 3 [Chaotic Elements], if we go all [Defense], we should be able to hold out for a while."
"As for discarding cards when escaping, we’ll handle that."
"We’ll bring back the intelligence, and my father will surely reimburse us."
Upon saying this, Hu Wei proactively handed over two B-level cards.
These two cards are not very useful; their only feature is being tough, not considered valuable cards.
"No rush, why don’t you first explain all the details about the BOSS."
Li Pu didn’t take the cards.
If they’re daring enough to face the BOSS for intelligence, why not try defeating it?
Thinking of fleeing before even engaging doesn’t suit his character.
"Alright, let sis explain; she’s experienced and more familiar."
Ji Jiao nodded.
So next, Hu Wei explained to them thoroughly.
The focus was mainly on D-level and C-level BOSSes, because she hasn’t experienced anything higher.
The ace cards of these level BOSSes are generally 1~2 cards.
Then, the BOSS deck distribution is quite special, or perhaps not special, but different from ordinary monster decks.
D-level BOSS has 9 regular cards, distributed in a typical 9+1 format.
A C-level BOSS has 18 cards, arranged in 3 columns x 6 rows.
As for card unveiling, it also differs slightly from normal games.
Some BOSSes reveal all at the start, some unveil in batches.
For example, reveal row by row, by turn, or once a row is wiped out, the next is unveiled, depending on the BOSS.
On the adventurer side, unless under specific BOSS realm restrictions, it will be a start all reveal.
They carry a conventional 6+1 deck.
For a C-level BOSS, (6+1)x8 start all reveal VS 18+1, and the opponent may not reveal all, making it seem advantageous for adventurers.
However, that’s not actually the case.
This is all compensating the adventurer for the BOSS being too strong.
"For 4 people, they can use 24 regular cards?"
Li Pu was more interested in this point upon hearing the introduction.
"Yes, bro, but you should consider the BOSS’s regular cards as having the ace-level [Dragon Soldier] strength for safety."
Ji Jiao hurriedly added.
He could see the change in expression, knowing the idea to face it head-on is being entertained.
"Have you guys... heard of kick the can?"
Sure enough, Li Pu looked at the three.
Ji Jiao and Hu Wei exchanged glances, clearly unaware of what it meant.
"I know, played it in school as a kid."
Also from Blue Stars, Ah Yajun raised his hand, coming from Hua District.
Kicking the can refers to a children’s game.
The game’s core mechanism involves placing a tin can on the ground and kicking it away.
Due to the enjoyable sound and sense of impact, kicking it away creates a feeling of satisfaction and pleasure.
"Are you saying... you want to one-hit-kill the BOSS?"
Ah Yajun figured out Li Pu’s intention.
"Exactly."
Li Pu nodded.
"Huh? One-hit-kill?"
By changing the phrasing, Ji Jiao immediately understood.
