At 4 PM, the girl in the white dress arrived at the shop on time and asked expectantly, "Boss, are the cards ready?"
"Mm, yes, just a moment." Lu Chenxing, who was engraving a Bombardment Art card, asked her to wait a moment. After his card was finished, he pulled out a card from a card box nearby and handed it over.
"This is Thunderstorm Technique. It has the strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning you need. The range is about twenty meters, and it lasts for about five minutes. Do you think it will work?"
The girl who received the card looked at the dazzling purple edge of the card and said with pleasant surprise, "This is actually a purple card!"
Then she quickly bowed to Lu Chenxing and said, "It's enough, it's enough! Thank you, Boss, goodbye!"
With that, she hurriedly ran off.
After seeing off the energetic university student, Lu Chenxing began making Bombardment Art cards again, while sighing inwardly, "When will President Long introduce people from the military district?"
Meanwhile, the girl in the white dress rushed energetically towards a secret realm point on campus. There were many students entering and exiting the secret realm entrance.
"Xiao Guo! Over here, over here!" From afar, she saw a girl waving at her, so she quickly ran over.
The girl waving to Xiao Guo was her best friend, Xiao Lian.
"Xiao Guo, what were you up to? You're so mysterious. Weren't we supposed to go in at 8 PM? Why did you call everyone at 5 PM?" Xiao Lian questioned like a machine gun, her eyes full of curiosity.
Xiao Guo, wearing a white dress, took a slight breath, then chuckled and pulled out a card, showing it off to everyone, "Ta-da! Look what this is!"
"Holy moly! A purple card!" A male companion dressed as a warrior immediately exclaimed, "Where did you get that?! I've never seen this spell before!"
"I had someone specially custom-make this!" Xiao Guo said with a silly grin, "Although everyone is kindly helping me, I also need to be prepared! With this terrain card, it will definitely be foolproof!"
"Holy moly! And it's a First Order terrain card! Xiao Guo, you're so rich!" The male companion dressed as a warrior exclaimed again.
Looking at Xiao Guo's silly smile, Xiao Lian didn't understand why she would spend a fortune on this terrain card. A First Order custom terrain card, and a purple card at that, the price must be very high. Twenty thousand? Or even higher? Xiao Lian couldn't even imagine it!
Only a fool like Xiao Guo would prepare something like this when several people were already helping her... But weren't they friends with Xiao Guo precisely because she was a simple and foolish girl?
"Xiao Guo, did you buy this card and still have living expenses? If not, I can lend you some..." Xiao Lian thought aloud.
"Huh?" Xiao Guo was startled for a moment, then waved her hand and laughed, "It's fine, this card wasn't expensive, only six thousand."
Now it was the other three people's turn to be stunned, and they said in unison, "What? Only six thousand?!"
"Yes, yes, that boss is really nice. For a First Order custom card, each element costs two thousand. I asked for water, wind, and lightning, so I paid six thousand..."
The other three: "Huh?"
They had never heard of such a pricing standard, but few people would buy First Order custom cards because while the price was high, they couldn't provide a decisive effect, making them not cost-effective.
However, if this was the pricing standard, then it seemed worth getting!
"Xiao Guo, where is that Card Shop? Take us to see it!" The team member dressed as a warrior said.
"Wait, no rush!" At this moment, another tall boy who had been silent spoke up, "Let's first see the effect of this card. If it's good, then we'll visit the shop. Anyway, the shop is right there, it's not going anywhere!"
Xiao Lian glanced at the students around who had stopped and pricked up their ears after hearing them talk, and couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, yes, let's go to the secret realm first, and then we'll talk!"
With such a cheap and good place, they definitely wanted to be the first to buy. What if the boss raised the price if too many people went?
Thinking this, the other three pulled Xiao Guo into the secret realm.
Seeing the three enter the secret realm, the people outside the secret realm also followed them in, trailing far behind Xiao Guo and her friends, wanting to see what the card's effect was truly like.
A secret realm is a world fragment that, after being captured by Canglan World and cleared of danger, becomes a resource secret realm.
This secret realm is a First Order underground secret realm, used by freshmen, and contains monsters like bats, spiders, phantoms, and zombies, with the highest being Second Order Early Stage.
Although some freshmen are exceptionally talented, reaching Second Order or even Third Order when they enter university, most students only begin to improve their strength after entering university.
Xiao Guo and her group gradually approached their destination. The small monsters on the way were easily dealt with, especially the zombies, which Xiao Lian's lightning-attribute magic happened to counter.
A moment later, sensing that the temperature ahead was getting higher and higher, and the air was becoming drier, the four knew that they were reaching their destination.
They glanced at the people trailing far behind them to watch the show, but the four didn't pay them any mind, because Xiao Guo had already told them the shop's name and location on the way.
"Honestly, it's been a while since school started, and we've explored most of the school, but we really haven't found such a magical Card Shop."
"Yes, once Xiao Guo successfully advances this time, we'll go check it out!"
A moment later, Xiao Guo stood at the entrance of a cave, feeling the high temperature and the smell of sulfur emanating from it, and said seriously, "We're here!"
She took a deep breath and looked at her companions, finding that everyone was looking at her. Xiao Lian smiled and said, "Since we've made such thorough preparations, let's go in now!"
"Mm!"
The Magma Giant, fiery red all over, with what looked like flowing magma, dual earth and fire attributes, a Second Order Early Stage humanoid elemental creature, five meters tall, with a single eye on its head, roared in anger upon seeing someone intrude into its territory!
"Roar!!!!"
And the usually silly Xiao Guo, at moments like this, was like a different person, extremely calm. She directly pulled out the "Thunderstorm Technique" card, activated its energy circuit, and aimed it at the sky.
As a flash of light passed, the entire upper part of the cave was filled with dark clouds. A twenty-meter diameter covered most of the cave!
The air quickly became humid, then strong winds picked up, thunder boomed, and heavy rain poured down on the Magma Giant's head!
"Hiss~~~~"
The rainwater that fell on the Magma Giant was immediately evaporated, turning into water vapor that rose, only to encounter the ice element that Lu Chenxing had arranged to prevent evaporation, and so it turned back into raindrops and fell again!
The rain was continuous and grew heavier in an instant! This was an effect Lu Chenxing himself hadn't anticipated!
The most troublesome magma on the Magma Giant's body was completely soaked in a short while, losing all its temperature, and small puddles had accumulated on the previously dry ground.
