(534) Talking about the Balance
update icon Updated at 2026/5/23 5:00:02

After experiencing several big battles and employing excellent strategic tactics and colorful deceitful tactics, the current score is five to zero in favor of Cyclone, with Cabellus at zero.

At halftime, Cyclone looks at Cabellus' deck of cards.

"Switch!! Damn it!!"

Grabbing Cabellus' deck of cards, Cyclone quickly reads and analyzes the cards, now fully aware of Cabellus' card effects.

"Hmph! Just as I suspected, with cards distributed like this, the game is completely unbalanced!!"

"Oh? Is that so~"

With a smug grin, Cabellus engages in another intense five round battle with Cyclone.

"......"

After a round of intense staring, Cyclone tosses his cards onto the table.

"Trash card game, no future! Not worth investing!!"

"Hey!!"

At the end, not only Cyclone, but his wife Eileen and partner Miss Bonan also join in.

Four people, four seats on the couch.

After Eileen understands the rules, she also battles Cabellus several times.

"No, it can't be....."

"Haha~ Eileen wins~"

"Hey!! Don't go easy on a woman like that!!"

Seeing Eileen defeat Cabellus, Cyclone suspects foul play.

However, Cabellus, besides a smile, remains silent.

Seeing this, Eileen steps in to explain.

"I think my husband applied his gambling experience to this game. In this game, although luck plays a part, with hero card skills, you can turn the tables in critical moments."

Eileen explains thoroughly, sharing her insights while assessing the game's fun factor.

In the end, Cyclone finally defeats Cabellus.

"Oh~ So that's how it is~"

"Is it fun, Cyclone buddy~"

"It's fun when you win~"

Without much analysis, Cyclone simply expresses his thoughts.

"Oh~ Cyclone buddy~ Although what you said is not wrong......"

"No, my husband is right, it's a significant issue."

"What?!!"

"Huh?!"

Cyclone awkwardly smiles, surprised by Eileen's seriousness after his casual remark.

After a thirty-minute explanation, Eileen conducts a comprehensive analysis of the "duel" designed for Cabellus.

Finally, she adds.

"There are too many problems with this game. If it weren't for my husband's friend, I wouldn't even bother analyzing it for you."

"Oh my... my Eileen, so strong!"

"You say that... all because of you... I..."

Cyclone and Cabellus both kneel on the ground, listening to Eileen, who is smaller than both of them, discuss the flaws of the game.

"Hey!! Weren't you guys planning to develop this game!!"

"Yes!!"

At that moment, Cyclone thought to himself.

Actually, I don't want to... I'm just being dragged into it...

However, Cabellus seemed to have seen through Cyclone's mind, holding Cyclone with one hand, pretending to be very friendly. But the other hand covered Cyclone's mouth, preventing Cyclone from speaking the truth. "Hahaha~ We, we will reflect~ Reflect~"

"Umm umm umm..."

Cyclone could only shake his head helplessly. "How about this~" At this moment, Mrs. Bonan, holding back her laughter, joined the conversation. "Since Eileen thinks the balance of your game is not enough, why not add more cards to enhance the balance?"

"Oh, tell us more~" Perhaps because previous investors were not willing to say more for Cabellus, this time Eileen and Mrs. Bonan rarely provided suggestions for Cabellus to listen to. Of course, Cabellus was willing to hear it. Most importantly, this was feedback from investors. If their advice could be incorporated into his game, he might just secure his first funding. "Let go!!" Seizing the moment when Cabellus relaxed, Cyclone freed himself from Cabellus' grasp.

"It's like~ I'm not not helping you, there's no need to silence me."

Cyclone stood up, leaving Cabellus kneeling on his own. "Tsk~ You don't even know you're an opportunist, this is my dream, of course I have to be cautious!"

"Hey hey hey!" As Cabellus and Cyclone started quarreling, Eileen had to intervene. Meanwhile, Mrs. Bonan suggested, "How about this, I know there's someone from the cat tribe living nearby, why not pay them a visit to enrich the deck variety in this 'duel'?"

And so, Cyclone's afternoon became busy once again.
