Flame Armor: Attack power increased by 500 points (Flame Furious Tiger exclusive equipment).
"Do you know the owner of the Flame Furious Tiger combat card?" Wen Xiangjie asked.
"Yes, because its owner spends all his newly acquired salary here every month, just to get this Flame Armor Card. He has been trying for over a year, but neither the advanced card packs nor the gashapon machines could produce it. I didn't expect you to get it from a medium card pack," Dorothea said with a smile.
"Many people know this person. It's easy for you to meet him. He is Zhao Yongfeng, the curator of the Peak Card Domain Arena."
Oh, how coincidental.
She knew him too.
Wen Xiangjie played with the Flame Armor epic card, a smile on her face.
The method to simultaneously pursue both the Arena and School plotlines had just presented itself.
In this world, luck was indeed exceptionally important.
Of course, increasing Dorothea's favorability was equally important, otherwise Dorothea wouldn't bother to stay by a customer's side to see what cards she opened, nor would she provide her with extra information.
Like Arabella, being able to procure legendary cards for the gashapon blind boxes meant Dorothea's identity was certainly not simple; she couldn't merely be the manager of a Card Pack Sales Store in a card game instance.
It seems that in the future, no matter which instance, when browsing the trading area, she could subtly display the bracelet on her wrist that featured the Totem element of the God of Trade.
It was worth a try; perhaps there would be an unexpected gain.
"Coincidentally, I also know the person you mentioned. This card should be a great help to me." Wen Xiangjie put the card into her close-fitting small bag.
"Then your luck is indeed very good," Dorothea said with a knowing smile, "I wish you success in your endeavors."
"Thank you." Wen Xiangjie nodded to Dorothea and left the Card Pack Sales Store.
She immediately opened the map and teleported back to the Daoguan District.
Just as she was about to enter the Peak Card Domain Arena, Wen Xiangjie keenly sensed an unfriendly gaze from behind her.
She sharply turned her head and caught Ji Chenyu before he could retract his gaze.
Wen Xiangjie gave Ji Chenyu a slight smile as a greeting, then walked into the Peak Card Domain Arena right in front of him.
Earlier, when Helena was explaining basic information to them at school, Wen Xiangjie had keenly noticed someone in the back of the classroom staring at her with cold, snake-like eyes.
The NPC students didn't know her, so they certainly wouldn't look at her with such eyes.
Most of the new students who entered the instance together were seated in the front rows, and the only person sitting in the back of the classroom was Ji Chenyu.
From that moment on, Wen Xiangjie knew that Ji Chenyu harbored considerable hostility towards her.
She just didn't know if Ji Chenyu was jealous and hated her for some other reason, or if Ji Chenyu was connected to the Lin family.
Regardless, she would meet force with force. She intended to openly enter the Peak Card Domain Arena in front of Ji Chenyu. If Ji Chenyu chose to join the Peak Card Domain Arena just to spite her, that would be even better.
Seeing Wen Xiangjie walk into the Peak Card Domain Arena, Ji Chenyu's mind raced.
He already knew that there was a plotline here in the arena that offered a chance to obtain a legendary card. He had coincidentally spotted Wen Xiangjie leaving the Daoguan District earlier to go elsewhere.
Now, Wen Xiangjie had returned to the Daoguan District and walked directly into the Peak Card Domain Arena. It seemed highly likely that Wen Xiangjie had chosen to join the Peak Card Domain Arena and pursue the Daoguan District plotline.
He couldn't let Wen Xiangjie smoothly obtain the Arena Tournament qualification for the Peak Card Domain Arena.
Just then, Ji Chenyu saw Wei Zicheng walking out of the Passionate Card Battle Arena.
Ji Chenyu pretended to be passing by and walked towards Wei Zicheng.
As he brushed past Wei Zicheng, Ji Chenyu seemed to 'discover' Wei Zicheng and spoke with a hint of panic: "Wei... Wei Zicheng."
"Hmm." Wei Zicheng glanced at Ji Chenyu and was about to continue walking.
"Is Wei Zicheng also choosing the arena route? The competition pressure for the arena route is too high. I'll stick with the school route instead," Ji Chenyu muttered to himself.
Wei Zicheng became interested in Ji Chenyu's words. He turned around and blocked Ji Chenyu's path: "Who else is taking the arena route? Did you see anyone?"
Suddenly stopped by Wei Zicheng, Ji Chenyu looked up in fright, his eyes meeting Wei Zicheng's: "I... I just saw Wen Xiangjie enter the Peak Card Domain Arena. She might be joining the Peak Card Domain Arena."
Faint, swirling purple patterns appeared in Ji Chenyu's pupils.
"Wen Xiangjie is joining the Peak Card Domain Arena?" A thought immediately formed in Wei Zicheng's mind.
Wen Xiangjie was his strongest competitor. Since his primary goal upon entering this game instance was to defeat Wen Xiangjie, why not start by joining the same arena as Wen Xiangjie!
He would defeat Wen Xiangjie and make her watch helplessly as he represented the Peak Card Domain Arena in the Arena Tournament!
Wei Zicheng excitedly rushed directly into the Peak Card Domain Arena.
Ji Chenyu watched Wei Zicheng's retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips.
Regardless of whether Wei Zicheng could replace Wen Xiangjie in the Arena Tournament, even if he couldn't, he could at least cause some trouble for Wen Xiangjie and make things less smooth for her, which was also good.
Of course, it was also possible that Wen Xiangjie was just feigning, and ultimately would not choose the Daoguan District plotline.
It didn't matter. He could find others to confront Wen Xiangjie directly. He just needed to stay hidden behind the scenes and continuously cause trouble for Wen Xiangjie.
"Oh, it's you again. Have you finished dealing with things at the school and come to find the curator to join the arena?" Cheng Di still remembered Wen Xiangjie, the newcomer with the pleasant voice, and warmly came forward to greet her.
"Senior Brother has an excellent memory. Your card battle skills must be very strong!" Wen Xiangjie casually offered another compliment.
Cheng Di's favorability towards Wen Xiangjie increased by another 5 points.
"Hahaha, that is indeed a small talent of mine in card battles. You know where the curator's lounge is, so I won't take you. Just go by yourself," Cheng Di said with a hearty laugh.
Wen Xiangjie bid farewell to Cheng Di and headed towards the curator's lounge.
She knocked on the door, and after receiving Zhao Yongfeng's permission, Wen Xiangjie pushed the door open.
"Oh? You're here. That was quick. Have you settled things at your school?" Zhao Yongfeng waved his large, fan-like hand at Wen Xiangjie, motioning for her to sit opposite him.
At this moment, Zhao Yongfeng was still carefully and lovingly wiping his cards. The cards, which could not get dirty in the first place, looked so bright they seemed to glow.
"I came to see you because I have a card I'd like to show you."
