“Which adult are you talking about?” Qiu Meixin couldn’t help but ask the person next to her.
“Who introduced you to the auction? Why didn’t they tell you about this?” The customer next to her asked in surprise, “Didn’t he tell you that all the epic cards auctioned at this auction were opened by the same adult?”
Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng were both stunned.
They really didn’t know about this. Both of them chose the Daoguan District storyline branch and learned about the Card Pack Sales Store auction from their fellow disciples at their own dojo.
“These… were all opened by the same person?” Qiu Meixin couldn’t help but ask again.
After receiving a positive answer, Qiu Meixin couldn’t help but shed two lines of envious tears.
Opening so many epic cards that she could hold a small auction was a joy she, as a non-African, could never imagine in this lifetime.
“Who is the adult you are talking about?” Wei Zicheng quickly asked.
“That adult seems to come to the Card Pack Sales Store often. She is Dorothea’s good friend. If you’re lucky, maybe that adult will still be here after the auction ends. You can say hello to that adult; she is very easygoing.”
The customer next to her was clearly also a gossip lover. Seeing that Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng knew nothing, she enthusiastically explained the adult’s deeds to them.
Things like never seeing that adult open a common card, or that it was rumored a customer saw that adult open ten epic cards directly from a high-level card pack in one go, and so on.
Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng were stunned, unable to believe that there was someone with such high luck in this world.
With such a heaven-defying character setting, that adult must be a high-level NPC!
Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng had already decided that after the auction, they would immediately go to curry favor with that adult. Maybe they could obtain epic cards from her!
At the gashapon machine, Wen Xiangjie inserted another gashapon coin.
She picked up the gashapon blind box that fell into the slot and twisted it open. Inside was another card emitting a golden light.
【Legendary Mechanism Card, Prohibition: Prevents the opponent from drawing cards from the card drawer for the next two turns.】
Seeing the effect of this legendary mechanism card, Wen Xiangjie herself couldn’t help but fall silent.
The effect of Qiang Lve + Prohibition, hiss—
Her opponents would be blessed in the future. Losing a card battle from beginning to end without drawing a card would truly make listeners sad and viewers tear up.
“The effects of these legendary cards are truly overpowered.” Dorothea exclaimed, “No wonder that old geezer controls the number of legendary cards. Only when a legendary card’s energy completely dissipates and becomes a Waste Card will a new legendary card be born.”
Dorothea’s favorability towards Wen Xiangjie had now reached 80, making them good friends. So, she would casually reveal some innocuous game dungeon settings to Wen Xiangjie during their usual chats.
“I estimate he only put these two legendary cards in the gashapon machine. You probably won’t open any more legendary cards.”
Wen Xiangjie also had this feeling.
She no longer had that determined feeling towards the gashapon machine as before.
After opening five more gashapon blind boxes, as expected, only epic cards were opened from these five gashapon blind boxes.
Confirming that there were no more legendary cards in the gashapon machine, Wen Xiangjie finally stopped.
Wen Xiangjie was not disappointed to have only gained two legendary cards from the gashapon machine.
Even if Dorothea hadn’t told her about the legendary card settings, just by looking at the heaven-defying effects of legendary cards, Wen Xiangjie knew that legendary cards were destined not to be like epic cards, which could be opened infinitely as long as one had enough luck.
Wen Xiangjie now had seven legendary cards in her hand. After getting the two legendary cards from the Daoguan District and school storyline branches, Wen Xiangjie would have nine legendary cards in hand when participating in the final Card Master competition.
“It’s a pity I couldn’t achieve the accomplishment of a full deck of legendary cards,” Wen Xiangjie couldn’t help but lament as she put the five newly opened epic cards into her small portable bag.
Dorothea: ?
Do you want to hear what you are saying?
“That old geezer only released about twenty legendary cards into this world in total. You alone have almost half the number of legendary cards. What more do you want?” Dorothea complained.
“Ah? All the legendary cards combined aren’t enough to make a deck?” Wen Xiangjie shook her head regretfully, “This is too unfriendly to collectors.”
Dorothea gave a poker-faced chuckle.
A clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the clear, cloudless sky.
Wen Xiangjie: ?
How can the dignified card god still eavesdrop on other people’s conversations? How un-divine!
“The auction is about to begin. I’ll go up and host the auction first. Want to have lunch together?” Dorothea asked.
Because Wen Xiangjie had been very free recently, she often arranged meals with Dorothea and others.
Although Dorothea could not easily leave the Card Pack Sales Store, she could have any restaurant on Commercial Street prepare meals and deliver them.
“Alright, then I’ll help you watch the store at the first-floor counter,” Wen Xiangjie said with a smile, “You treat me to lunch, consider it my salary.”
“You use my large screen at the counter to binge-watch shows, eat the snacks I put on the counter, and you still want me to pay you a salary, right?” Dorothea grumpily tossed out, “For lunch, just call someone to deliver whatever you want.”
“Got it~”
Wen Xiangjie walked into the first-floor counter and comfortably leaned back in the soft chair.
She familiarized herself with opening the snack cabinet, which was filled with snacks, including a few that she had casually mentioned were quite tasty last time.
Wen Xiangjie’s favorite was the large screen in Dorothea’s shop. Its clarity could be adjusted as high as desired, and it had an automatic eye protection mode, so her eyes wouldn’t get tired no matter how long she watched. The sound quality was even better, like secretly listening to a live performance from a tree next to the actors.
The auction went very smoothly, and Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng each successfully bid on a desired epic card.
Clutching their beloved epic cards, they looked at them again and again, then quickly put the cards into their card drawers, fearing they would be snatched away.
After the auction ended, several regular customers of the Card Pack Sales Store couldn’t help but gather around Dorothea and ask, “Shopkeeper, was the one who opened the legendary card in the electronic announcement… that adult?”
Other customers also quickly perked up their ears to eavesdrop, and Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng were no exception.
