The Card Master Genius Chapter 6

In the Misty Forest dungeon.

After the boss died, a bunch of things dropped: five seven-star wood attribute fragments, and a complete four-star wood attribute card "Flower Fairy".

Brother Chen was in a good mood, and his voice was also a little bit funny: "I'm lucky! I got fragments and a whole card on the first try."

Charlie Xie asked curiously: "Brother Chen, is the drop rate of this flower demon card very low?"

Brother Chen nodded: "Well, the drop rate of the whole card is less than 10%. Usually it drops flower demon fragments and you have to synthesize them yourself."

As they were chatting, Chloe Chi suddenly said, "Brother Chen, I just received a private message from the boss. He said that in addition to the 100 Seven Star Wood Attribute Fragments, he will also add 100 Water Attribute Fragments and 100 Fire Attribute Fragments. If we can deliver within a week, the total price of the three orders is 66,000, to be paid in full."

Everyone was stunned.

Brother Chen was the first to react, his tone full of surprise: "Who is this great god who wants so many evolution fragments at once?"

Peter Pang guessed: "Is this to upgrade three seven-star cards? Maybe a certain guild is collecting them?"

Chloe Chi shook his head: "It should be a personal acquisition. When he posted the task in the trading house, the ID was a string of garbled characters, which was obviously a fake account."

66,000 gold coins, such a big order can't be missed. Brother Chen thought for a while and said, "Take the order first. Ah Chloe Chi, go and post a team recruitment. Play the team dungeon at 9 o'clock in the evening. In the next two days, clear all the material copies and take all the fragments you should take. If there are still not enough, we will find a way."

"Can I help?" Charlie Xie asked. For example, just joining in the fun? He was a very professional soy sauce player and would never cause trouble.

Brother Chen looked at him with disdain and said, "Your level is too low. You can't enter the 10-man team. Go upgrade yourself first. When you reach level 35, come back to me."

"Oh!" Charlie Xie had expected this answer. He waved goodbye to Brother Chen and ran back to upgrade quickly.

After returning to my personal apartment, the system voice immediately rang in my ears: "Welcome back! The magical star card world is extremely huge. Are you willing to follow me to understand this world?"

System options: 1. I am willing. 2. You have to be willing even if you don’t want to.

Charlie Xie: ...

System, you are so naughty! It seems that the official copywriter of the game is also a funny guy.

He chose the first option, and the system voice was very relaxed and cheerful: "Let me take you to understand the magical Star Card World! The planets in the Star Card World are divided into three categories. The first category is [Functional Planets], the second category is [Resource Planets], and the third category is [Open Planets]. Please go to the galaxy navigation cloud map and find the four major functional planets."

Charlie Xie followed the instructions and walked to the interstellar navigation map. As expected, he saw four large planets in the vast universe and galaxy map - as big as his head, and it was obvious.

When you get closer, a detailed text introduction will pop up.

The entire Gemini star field is the residential area in the game, where all the players' personal apartments are located. The Aquarius star field is the commercial area, where auctions, shops, and stalls are all held. The Peacock star field is the entertainment area, with movie theaters, amusement parks, food cities, bar streets and other leisure and entertainment venues. The Phoenix star field is the competition area, where all activities related to competition are held.

The four main stars have different functions and can be directly transmitted from personal space.

System voice: "After understanding the four functional planets, let's take a look at the resource planets. There are five resource planets in the game, namely Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn. There are countless small planets surrounding the resource planets, which are the entrances to the star card fantasy dungeon. The five resource stars will drop cards with corresponding attributes, evolution fragments, strengthening materials, etc. If you want to make your cards stronger, you must go to the resource stars frequently to obtain materials in the future!"

System voice: "There are two open planets in the Star Card World, called Egret and Crane. Egret is home to a variety of phantom creatures of different levels. You can defeat them to gain experience and material rewards. Crane has rich natural minerals, where you can collect game resources such as nebula paper, repair stone, furniture wood, etc."

System voice: "Introduction completed. Next, please go explore Egret Star."

Charlie Xie was teleported to Egret Star from the galaxy map.

This planet is equivalent to the wild scene in online games. It is a fully open mode, and players can meet each other and PK freely. Unlike the undead protection measures for players in dungeons, players may die in the wild, so they must be extra careful. There are forests, deserts and oceans, as well as swamps, grasslands and snow-capped mountains. There are countless exotic animals and plants in the rich natural environment. For players, these are small monsters, and they can gain experience by killing them.

Charlie Xie is still a level 5 novice, so the system considerately took him to a lake with low-level monsters.

As soon as I walked to the lake, I saw a skinny little girl being chased by several stone spirits not far away. The girl's health was dropping rapidly, and her feet were stumbling. She ran while shouting: "Help, help!"

Charlie Xie took two steps forward, and the girl thought he was going to help, so she ran in his direction. As a result, Charlie Xie immediately stepped back, staring at the huge stone spirits with a vigilant look, fearing that he would be affected by the stone spirits' attack.

He moves very well and dodges very flexibly.

The girl was beaten to death by Shi Ling in less than three seconds and fell directly at his feet.

The girl who died at my feet was called "Sisi". She couldn't speak after she died, so she posted a text box above her head asking: "Why didn't you save me?"

Charlie Xie asked back: "Why should I save you? I don't even know you." Meddling in other people's affairs is not his style.

... The girl was so angry that she immediately pressed the button to revive on the spot and said, "Even if you don't know him, you can still save him. It's a pleasure to help others!"

"I can't save you." Charlie Xie analyzed, "I only have a one-star card with 100 attack power. The health of each stone spirit chasing you is 1,000 points, and the total of five is 5,000 points. I can't beat them. The result of saving you is that I will be dragged down by you and die here together."

...What he said made so much sense that I couldn't refute it.

Seeing him turn around and leave, the girl quickly got up and followed him: "Hey, Fatty, let's gain experience together!"

Charlie Xie: "?"

Fat uncle? Who should I call?

He looked up at his ID. He almost forgot that when he created his account today, he gave it a very friendly name called "Fat Uncle". No wonder people called him that. Charlie Xie was too lazy to explain. Anyway, they were just online friends he met in the game. There was no need to involve him in reality.

At this moment, a boy's deep voice came from the side: "Sisi, what happened?"

Charlie Xie turned his head and saw that the boy looked quite handsome, but his expression was a little serious. Sisi was petite and cute. I don't know if it was a real image or a virtual character created in the game?

The girl felt a little aggrieved and walked over and said, "I just accidentally attracted five stone spirits and they were beaten to death."

The boy reached out and touched her head, and said in a gentle voice, "I told you to wait for me here, why are you running around?"

Charlie Xie: ...

---Pat the head, isn't it not good to feed dog food to single people like this?

Not wanting to see the couple show off their affection, Charlie Xie was about to turn around and leave. But the girl took the initiative to catch up with him and said, "Uncle Fatty, let's gain experience together! This game has been running for ten years, and it's hard to find low-level players in the novice area. I've been here for ten minutes, and I only see you as a novice."

The boy also took the initiative to invite: "Come together, it will be faster if we form a team of three."

Charlie Xie thought it would be nice to get to know some friends in the game, so he joined their team.

The boy's ID in the game is "Senior Brother Qi". From their chat, it can be inferred that this Senior Brother Qi is a smurf who is here to accompany his girlfriend. He has been playing this game for five years, so of course he knows more than a newbie.

Senior Brother Qi suggested: "The experience of the little stone spirit is very low. We can go to kill high-level monsters with more people and connect the control skills well."

He is a veteran and what he said must make sense, so the two newbies followed him to the lake.

The level 4 monster by the lake is called Willow Spirit, which hurts people very much, but can be controlled. The three of them have ice snake cards given by the system in the novice stage, which can freeze and control one person, and then use Thunderbird to launch group attacks. As long as the skills are well connected, it is very easy to fight small monsters.

After half an hour of grinding, the three of them reached level 10, and the cards they brought also gained experience points and reached level 20.

Cards must evolve when they reach level 20, otherwise they will stay at level 20 and cannot continue to rise. It just so happened that the willow spirit also dropped a lot of low-level evolution fragments, so Senior Brother Qi said: "Go back to your personal space to evolve the cards, and give priority to upgrading the thunderbird with group attack."

Charlie Xie called out the portal to his personal space and went back to upgrade his cards.

In front of the operating table, a light green level 20 one-star card was slowly devouring 100 two-star fragments while continuously rotating. The pattern on the back of the card was also constantly changing, and the original green card gradually turned blue.

---Level 20, two-star evolution, blue card.

Charlie Xie noticed that when a card evolves to a higher star level, the color on the back will change, but the pattern on the front will not change. In terms of values, all basic attributes will be doubled. For example, the basic attack of Thunderbird was originally 100, but it became 200 after evolving to the second star.

In other words, upgrading will increase the skill coefficient, and evolution will increase the basic attributes.

Upgrade the cards first, then evolve them, and their strength will be comprehensively improved.

Since developing a seven-star card requires a lot of materials, for ordinary players to develop a good card by themselves, it is not only a technical job, but also a physical job - just brushing the materials will make them exhausted!

Charlie Xie sighed, and after upgrading his card, he returned to the lakeside of Bailu Star, and saw that Sisi and Senior Brother Qi had also returned.

Senior Brother Qi said, "Let's go buy some more attack cards. If we want to form a team and gain experience, these cards won't be enough."

Sisi asked excitedly: "Where can I buy a card?"

Senior Brother Qi said: "The black market."

Sisi was stunned: "Black market? There is such a place?"

Senior Brother Qi said, "There is an underground city behind the commercial street, called the Black Market. Players can set up stalls freely without charging rent. You can bargain for things in the Black Market, and you can find a lot of good stuff, especially low-level original cards, which are much cheaper than regular stores."

Sisi scratched her head: "But I heard that the original card is more expensive?"

Brother Qi explained: "Of course I'm talking about cards with average data, some even bad original cards, and some are failed works. The truly top-notch original cards are all sold at auctions."

Charlie Xie listened to the conversation between the two and thought that only failed works would be sold at low prices on the black market. However, for new players like them, buying a few "failed works" of old players would be enough to make the transition in the early stages and kill small monsters.

So, the three of them were teleported to the Aquarius star region.

This was the first time that Charlie Xie personally came to the commercial area of   the game.

There is a square in the center of the planet Aquarius, with a beautiful crystal bottle sculpture in the middle. There are four skyscrapers in the east, south, west and north of the square, namely the "Auction House", "Star Card Bank", "Trading House" and "Service Center".

Behind the four buildings are crisscrossing commercial streets. All the shops in the commercial streets are rented to players and run by the players themselves. At a glance, Charlie Xie can see that the shop names are of different styles, such as "Loving Couple Repair Shop", "Seven Star Boutique Card Store", "Dou Dou's Material Store", "Boss Wants to Hire a Boss Lady", etc. --- Many players go shopping here, making it more prosperous and lively than the pedestrian streets in the real world.

The three of them were originally going to go to the black market together, but they found that there were crowds of people in front of the "auction house" on the east side of the square. Sisi stood on tiptoe curiously and asked, "Brother, what happened over there?"

Senior Brother Qi followed her gaze and said, "Every afternoon at 3:30, the auction house holds an auction. These people should be attending the auction."

Charlie Xie had only seen auctions on TV, and they were very grand. He had never been to an auction in person, and he wanted to see it for himself. But before he could say anything, Sisi excitedly said, "Can we go and see it? It seems very interesting!"

Senior Brother Qi nodded: "Okay, let's go to the black market after we finish reading it."

As the three of them walked to the door of the auction house, they saw a sudden commotion around them, and screams came from a distance: "Today's auction is said to have Tang Shen's cards!" "Is it Max Tang's original card?" "It's inside information, I don't know if it's true or not, hurry up and join in the fun!" "Hurry, the tickets are going to be sold out!"

The crowd behind him surged over like a tide. Charlie Xie was startled and quickly slipped into the venue.
