“It's her.”
Wen Xiangjie had just opened a legendary card from a gashapon blind box, and after being announced by the electronic voice, some customers in the Card Pack Sales Store saw her, so Dorothea openly admitted it.
With Wen Xiangjie's current strength, she wasn't afraid of others knowing she possessed a legendary card.
Those who knew would probably avoid Wen Xiangjie instead.
“It really is that adult!” The old customers were both surprised and felt it was only natural.
That adult was indeed the luckiest person they had ever seen; if anyone could open a legendary card, it had to be that adult.
However, this also proved one thing: the gashapon machine really could dispense legendary cards!
Although their luck couldn't compare to that adult's, what if?
Even Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng were tempted after hearing this, planning to try their luck with a gashapon blind box later.
There was no other way; even though they knew they were unlucky, it was a legendary card, after all. Even if they knew it was a pie in the sky they couldn't eat, they still wanted to crane their necks and try to snatch it.
Customers who had finished the auction left the third floor, and every gashapon machine on the second floor was instantly occupied.
Seeing that there were no spots available for now, Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng decided to head to the first floor to see if they could encounter the adult mentioned by these old customers.
As soon as they arrived on the first floor, Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng saw that the counter on the first floor was already surrounded by a crowd, with an endless stream of flattering words.
“Congratulations, adult, on obtaining a legendary card!”
“It should be congratulations, adult, on obtaining another legendary card!”
“What does ‘another’ mean? Did the adult get a legendary card somewhere else before?”
“Are your sources so outdated? Don't you know that the adult is now the most recognized and powerful Gambling Card Master in the Gambling Card District? On the day of the Gambling Card District event, she continuously opened three legendary cards from gambling stones?”
“Not only that, the adult also successfully cleared the Duel Tower and became the new Tower Master!”
“What? The adult's identity is so impressive? I only knew that the adult was Dorothea's partner. Hiss, by that calculation, doesn't the adult have at least five legendary cards?”
Standing on the outermost edge, Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng's eyes widened the more they listened.
How many, many, many?
The adult inside had at least five legendary cards?
This must be the most important NPC in the game instance; they absolutely had to find a way to talk to her. Even if she just let two cards slip through her fingers, it would be enough for them to be well-fed and satisfied.
Qiu Meixin and Wei Zicheng, relying on their regularly exercised physiques, pushed their way in, finally squeezing into the innermost layer of the crowd and seeing the true face of the adult sitting behind the counter.
“Wen Xiangjie???” Wei Zicheng called out Wen Xiangjie's name in disbelief.
Qiu Meixin, beside him, also had an extremely surprised expression.
Revered as an adult by the NPCs, the most powerful Gambling Card Master in the Gambling Card District, the Tower Master of the Duel Tower... someone with so many impressive titles was not an NPC, but Wen Xiangjie, who had entered the game instance with them?!
They were all First Military Academy freshmen who had entered the game instance, yet they were still just ordinary disciples in the Daoguan District, while Wen Xiangjie had already become a well-known and influential figure within the game instance!
Were they and Wen Xiangjie really from the same world???
“Have you two finished the auction? Did you get the cards you liked?” Wen Xiangjie greeted them with a smile.
“We... we did.” Wei Zicheng replied subconsciously, but very quickly, his face turned visibly red.
Because he suddenly remembered something.
If Wen Xiangjie was the adult everyone was talking about, then this auction was co-hosted by her and Dorothea, which meant that all the money they spent at the auction went into Wen Xiangjie's pocket.
And he had actually thought Wen Xiangjie was short on money and wanted to lend her money so she could participate in the auction and bid on the cards she herself had put up...
Shameful, it was truly too shameful!
He had rarely taken the initiative, but he didn't expect to lose so completely. Damn it!
Wei Zicheng was too ashamed to face Wen Xiangjie and immediately turned around, lowering his head, and squeezed out of the crowd.
Qiu Meixin, of course, knew why Wei Zicheng was behaving this way and burst into laughter without reservation: “Hahahahaha! Serves him right, for not listening to reason!”
After laughing at Wei Zicheng, Qiu Meixin looked at Wen Xiangjie and said with a relieved expression: “Good thing you didn't choose the Daoguan District, otherwise Wei Zicheng and I could just declare defeat.”
Wen Xiangjie smiled without speaking.
Although Qiu Meixin was quite carefree, she was actually a meticulous person.
After noticing the expression on Wen Xiangjie's face, Qiu Meixin suddenly had an ominous premonition.
“Wait, Wen Jie, you wouldn't... ? No way, I haven't seen you in the Daoguan District!” Qiu Meixin asked with a horrified expression.
Although Wen Xiangjie didn't say anything, she seemed to have said everything.
When they left the Card Pack Sales Store, Qiu Meixin was still in a daze.
If it were anyone else who smiled without speaking like that, she would definitely think the other person was deliberately putting on an act, but if it was Wen Xiangjie, something like participating in the final Arena Tournament without attending daily Daoguan District training didn't seem impossible.
No, she couldn't be the only one worried; she had to tell Wei Zicheng about this so he could be on tenterhooks with her!
With less and less time remaining in the game instance, the First Military Academy freshmen worked harder to find ways to improve their card decks.
Even Wang Zhizhen, who had received several epic cards from Wen Xiangjie, dared not relax in the slightest, working even harder every day to collect clues about epic cards and build good relationships with more Card Masters.
Soon, the game instance time reached the 28th day.
Today was the internal selection tournament for the various Daoguan Districts. The winners could represent their respective Daoguan District in tomorrow's Arena Tournament, and the winner would receive a legendary card!
Wen Xiangjie held an egg pancake, eating it as she arrived at the long-unvisited Daoguan District.
She walked into the Peak Card Domain Arena, and coincidentally, the person in charge of the Daoguan District today was still Cheng Di, who had a good impression of Wen Xiangjie.
“Student Wen, you're here!” Seeing Wen Xiangjie, Cheng Di enthusiastically greeted her.
“Senior Brother Cheng.” Wen Xiangjie called out with a smile.
“Good, good, good. Since you call me Senior Brother, I'll call you Junior Sister.” Cheng Di rubbed his hands and said cheerfully.
“Of course, after all, we are all members of the Peak Card Domain Arena!”
The other idle Daoguan District disciples around them heard their conversation and gathered around.
“Cheng Di, is this the Junior Sister Wen?”
