“That’s wonderful!” Allison, on the other end of the phone, beamed with genuine joy after hearing Wen Xiangjie’s affirmative reply.
“Thank you so much for making such a great effort for our store’s invitation. The 300 million remuneration you were promised has already been transferred to your card. Please check it,” Allison said hurriedly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Xiangjie received a notification of a 300 million deposit.
“I’ve received it. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure your 300 million remuneration is well worth it,” Wen Xiangjie said confidently.
According to the rules, the luckiest person in this game instance could only have a maximum of 10 Luck Points. Wen Xiangjie’s current Luck Points had already reached 13, and there were still three days until the Gambling Card District event day. Wen Xiangjie’s Luck Points could increase again during these three days.
Therefore, Wen Xiangjie was fully confident in saying this to Allison.
“I eagerly await your Gambling Card results. I wish you good luck in battle.”
After hanging up the phone, Allison’s previously somewhat heavy expression immediately relaxed, and her eyes were filled with a light, easy smile.
The people in charge of Shenyou Card Gambling Store looked at each other, not understanding why their store manager, who had just been solemn after learning that Miyue Card Gambling Store had invited the famous Gambling Card Master Isaiah, suddenly brightened up after taking a call.
Moreover, they heard the store manager say that 300 million in remuneration had been transferred… Could it be that the store manager had invited a Gambling Card Master even more formidable than Isaiah?
Isaiah was a recognized top-three famous Gambling Card Master, and there were very few Gambling Card Masters on par with him. Unfortunately, those few were all busy recently and unable to accept Shenyou Card Gambling Store’s invitation.
That was why their store manager had been so worried after hearing that Miyue Card Gambling Store had invited Isaiah.
Could it be that a certain Gambling Card Master suddenly had time and accepted their store manager’s invitation?
The people in charge exchanged glances for a long time, and a more impatient one finally couldn’t help but ask, “Store Manager, which Gambling Card Master called you? Was it Master Marquez?”
“No,” Allison shook her head. “You don’t know this Master, but I believe with her ability, gambling out better cards than Isaiah and helping our Shenyou Card Gambling Store win this Gambling Card District event will definitely not be a problem!”
A Master they didn’t know? And her gambling card ability was even stronger than Isaiah’s?
The people in charge felt as if a cat was scratching at their hearts, itching with anticipation. They wished the Gambling Card District event would arrive sooner in three days so they could witness the mysterious Gambling Card Master their store manager spoke of.
One must know that their store manager had always been exceptionally capable and never boasted. For a Master to be so highly praised by their store manager, they were already looking forward to what kind of cards this Master could gamble out.
“Bernadette, my funds are sufficient here. Let’s sign the contract now,” Wen Xiangjie said to Bernadette after hanging up her communicator.
Wen Xiangjie had not avoided Bernadette when making the call. From the keywords “Gambling Card District” and “Allison” that Wen Xiangjie mentioned, Bernadette immediately knew who was on the other end of the communicator.
As the owner of Shenyou Card Gambling Store, Allison’s reputation was also considerable.
Bernadette also knew about the upcoming event in the Gambling Card District and its fundamental purpose. For Allison to confidently place all her chips on her, Bernadette valued Wen Xiangjie even more.
“No problem.” Bernadette took out the contract from her handbag and handed it to Wen Xiangjie.
Wen Xiangjie picked up the contract and read it carefully. After confirming there were no issues, she signed her name and directly transferred the 300 million house payment to Bernadette.
“Congratulations. From now on, you are the owner of this villa,” Bernadette handed the villa key and property deed to Wen Xiangjie.
“Thank you, Bernadette,” Wen Xiangjie accepted the villa key.
“No need to be so polite, just call me Bernadette from now on,” Bernadette said with a gentle smile. “I’ll also just call you by your name, Wen Xiangjie.”
“Bernadette,” Wen Xiangjie said directly.
“Wen Xiangjie,” Bernadette replied.
The two smiled at each other, and their relationship instantly grew closer.
“Meeting is fate. To celebrate your housewarming, how about you honor me by letting me treat you to lunch today? I’m free this afternoon, shall we go shopping together? I’ll also have property management help you clean the villa thoroughly and arrange the things you bought,” Bernadette suggested.
“Sounds good. Let’s go eat now. I’ve been busy at school all morning, and I’m a bit hungry,” Wen Xiangjie rubbed her stomach.
“No problem. What kind of cuisine do you usually like?”
“I’m not picky, as long as it’s delicious!”
Wen Xiangjie and Bernadette chatted and laughed as they left the villa.
“Bernadette!”
Wen Xiangjie and Bernadette simultaneously looked up. Not far away, a middle-aged man looked at Bernadette with surprise.
Behind the middle-aged man was an acquaintance, none other than Wang Zhizhen, who had entered the Residential Area before Wen Xiangjie.
“Mr. Avide,” Bernadette greeted Avide politely, her demeanor clearly different from when she was chatting with Wen Xiangjie just now.
Avide and Wang Zhizhen both noticed this.
“Bernadette, who is this?” Avide looked curiously at Wen Xiangjie beside Bernadette.
How did such a young girl earn Bernadette’s special regard?
“This is Wen Xiangjie, the new owner of a home in the Residential Area,” Bernadette introduced.
Avide became even more curious about Wen Xiangjie.
Being able to afford a villa in the Residential Area at such a young age was impressive. Of course, being able to afford a villa in the Residential Area wasn't the most difficult part; being able to acquire one was truly rare.
He had never heard the name Wen Xiangjie before.
Wang Zhizhen, behind Avide, almost had her eyes pop out.
No, she thought her goddess, like her, knew a Card Master in the Residential Area, which was why she could enter.
But after her goddess came in, she just, so gracefully, bought a villa and became a homeowner in the Residential Area???
Wait a minute, can players buy villas in this Residential Area?
No, even if they could, who could afford it! As far as she knew, a small villa like the one her goddess bought cost at least 400 million.
It was only the fifth day of the game instance. Where did her goddess get the money to buy a villa!
And she had heard about this Bernadette from other Card Masters. This person was a big shot who single-handedly designed and built the Residential Area. Her goddess was actually friends with such a big shot?
She had gone through so much trouble, and she could only follow other Card Masters around, carefully trying to please them, sob sob sob!
No, now that she had her goddess, why bother pleasing any Card Master? She needed to take the information she had and cooperate with her goddess, clinging to her leg!!!
