Chapter 64: Game Instance: Card Master (12)

It was impossible to fight against an opponent like Wen Xiangjie.

No matter how she drew cards, they were always epic cards. She didn't need any fancy combat skills or tactics; she simply relied on raw power to crush everything.

In the face of absolute power, everything was futile.

Now, only someone holding a legendary card, and with good luck to draw it in the first few rounds, had any hope of winning against Wen Xiangjie.

"Isn't that great? I'm a pacifist," Wen Xiangjie said with a smile.

Meaningless battles would only waste her time, and she needed that precious time to eat and sleep; she was very busy!

When she had opened almost all the epic cards, Wen Xiangjie even went to the second floor to try the gashapon blind boxes.

After twisting a few gashapons in a row and only getting epic cards, Wen Xiangjie decisively stopped.

It seemed that legendary cards were indeed very rare; even with 10 points of luck, it would require a large investment to obtain one.

Therefore, it was not suitable to continue twisting gashapons now. The price of a gashapon blind box was the same as a high-level card pack, but it could only open one epic card at a time, making it too cost-ineffective.

When her luck value increased further, Wen Xiangjie would come back to try the gashapon blind boxes again.

So Wen Xiangjie returned to the first floor to continue opening high-level card packs.

After assembling her own card deck, Wen Xiangjie still had more than thirty epic cards left.

Wen Xiangjie took out twenty of them to trade at the small auction later.

When the time came, Wen Xiangjie and Dorothea went to the third floor together.

Although it was called a small auction, the third floor of the Card Pack Sales Store was actually quite large, and it was already packed with people, in terms of numbers, it was no less than some medium to large-scale auctions.

This was even under the premise that due to limited time, not many people had received the news and rushed over.

If it had been promoted in advance, the number of people in the auction could have quadrupled.

Wen Xiangjie and Dorothea exchanged glances, both understanding each other's meaning.

This epic card auction had potential.

Wen Xiangjie had already given the epic cards she intended to sell to Dorothea in advance. She sat in a small private room on the second floor of the auction stage.

The glass of this small private room was one-way; she could observe the performance of the customers participating in the auction through this window, but the customers could not see Wen Xiangjie inside through it.

Dorothea, acting as the temporary auctioneer, walked onto the auction stage holding a stack of high-end, exquisite small boxes.

Seeing the stack of small boxes in Dorothea's hands, all the customers below the stage had their eyes light up madly.

"Welcome everyone to this impromptu auction. You should all know me; I am Dorothea, the manager of the Card Pack Sales Store." Dorothea elegantly bowed to the audience below the stage.

Thunderous applause immediately erupted below the stage.

"I'm not a professional auctioneer, and I don't understand the professional procedures, so let's just start directly with the first epic card now," Dorothea said with a smile.

"Good!"

"Manager is straightforward!"

"Hurry up and start, my wallet is already thirsty!"

"The first epic card in this auction is the most important combat card among epic cards!" Dorothea opened the first small box and took out an amethyst-like epic card from it.

The electronic large screen behind her timely projected the pattern on the card onto the large screen so that all customers in the auction hall could see it clearly.

"Ghost Wizard, an epic combat card, a relatively rare mage-type combat card, with 1100 attack points." Dorothea displayed both the front and back of this card.

Dorothea didn't need to say anything to hype up the atmosphere; just seeing this amethyst-like card made the customers below the stage breathe heavily.

Their money was finally useful!

"The starting bid for this Ghost Wizard card is 5,000,000, and each bid must not be less than 100,000," Dorothea announced the price.

The customers below the stage were somewhat astonished.

Although this Ghost Wizard was definitely worth the price, was it a bit outrageous for Dorothea to set the starting bid at 5,000,000?

At this moment, Dorothea opened another box and took out another epic card from it.

"This epic card, Ghost Wizard, is a buy-one-get-one-free offer. Buy the Ghost Wizard combat card, and get the Ghost Wizard's exclusive skill Death Gaze for free. When Death Gaze is used, the Ghost Wizard's combat power will increase to 1500 points!"

On the electronic large screen, next to the Ghost Wizard card, a Death Gaze skill card was placed side by side, clearly stating, "Ghost Wizard Exclusive Skill."

It was well known that exclusive skill cards were the most valuable and also the least valuable cards, depending entirely on who held their main card.

However, a powerful combat card paired with an exclusive skill card would definitely result in a price where 1+1 > 2.

After being stunned for a second, the bidding voices of the customers below the stage exploded.

"6,000,000!"

"7,000,000!"

"10,000,000! I must have these two epic cards!"

"12,000,000! You think you can have them for 10,000,000? Who are you trying to scare!"

The bidding was very enthusiastic, and every customer who called out a bid had their face flushed with excitement.

This surging atmosphere only slightly cooled down after the auction ended. Customers who successfully bid for epic cards were overjoyed, while those who failed to bid were crestfallen.

"Manager, when will you hold another auction? Can you notify us a bit earlier next time? This time was too rushed, I didn't even prepare my money!" a customer asked loudly.

"Thank you all for your support of the auction. If there's another opportunity to hold an epic card auction, we will definitely do a good job of pre-promotion and notify everyone in advance," Dorothea replied with a smile.

After receiving Dorothea's reply, the customers gradually left the third floor.

Dorothea came to the small private room where Wen Xiangjie was.

"Congratulations to us, the auction was very successful." Dorothea directly handed a printed list to Wen Xiangjie, which detailed the price at which each epic card was sold.

Wen Xiangjie also took it and read it carefully, then nodded to Dorothea after confirming there were no problems.

"Twenty epic cards were auctioned for a total of 180,300,000. I'll take a five percent commission, which is 9,015,000, and the remaining 171,285,000 belongs to you. It has already been transferred to you." Dorothea initiated the transfer.

On the third day of arriving at the new game instance, Wen Xiangjie once again achieved financial freedom.

"I have an old customer who wants to ask me to introduce you to her. What do you think?" Dorothea asked.
