“I’m going to look at stones in other stores first; I’ll look at your store’s stones last.” Wen Xiangjie waved to Allison and left her office.
After Wen Xiangjie left, the managers looked at each other, wanting to say something, but then closed their mouths.
Allison naturally noticed the managers’ hesitation, but she didn’t point it out or explain anything.
Wen Xiangjie indeed had no card gambling experience or accumulated knowledge related to card gambling.
But she possessed an incredibly strong, heaven-defying luck value, and this alone surpassed all other conditions.
In the past two days, Wen Xiangjie also took time to visit Dorothea’s Card Pack Sales Store and opened some high-level card packs. Allison personally witnessed Wen Xiangjie directly opening 7 epic cards and 3 rare cards from a single high-level card pack!
Allison had never heard of or seen such a high luck value; it was an absolute game-changer in card gambling.
Allison believed that with such a heaven-defying luck value, even if Wen Xiangjie picked up a random stone from the roadside, it would yield at least a rare card.
She could already imagine how popular the Shenyou Card Gambling Store would be when Wen Xiangjie started opening cards!
After leaving the Shenyou Card Gambling Store, Wen Xiangjie started from the nearest card gambling store, like a loafer, with her hands behind her back, scanning the gambling stones placed on the shelves.
Every card gambling store had a VIP area, and the gambling stones in the VIP area were appraised by professionals, making the probability of drawing high-level cards higher.
Thanks to the black-gold invitation letter Allison gave her, Wen Xiangjie could move freely in the VIP area of every card gambling store.
However, after visiting several card gambling stores consecutively, Wen Xiangjie didn’t feel any gambling stone that made her want to spend money.
Leaving another card gambling store empty-handed, Wen Xiangjie suddenly heard someone passionately shout, “Master Isaiah is here!!!”
Hearing this, customers frantically surged towards one spot.
“Master Isaiah was invited by the Miyue Card Gambling Store!”
“Hurry to the Miyue Card Gambling Store! Master Isaiah is going to pick and open gambling stones on the spot there!”
“It’s said that Master Isaiah will not only pick gambling stones this time but also briefly share some of his insights on choosing gambling stones!”
“Oh my goodness, Master Isaiah is too generous! A master’s lecture, I’d regret it for a lifetime if I didn’t listen!”
“Where is the Miyue Card Gambling Store?”
“Just follow the crowd!”
Coincidentally, the Miyue Card Gambling Store was to the left of the card gambling store Wen Xiangjie had just left.
It would be a waste not to watch the excitement that came to her, so Wen Xiangjie, using her geographical advantage, entered the Miyue Card Gambling Store one step ahead of the crowd and secured a prime viewing spot at the very front.
Soon, a spry old man, protected by the Miyue Card Gambling Store’s staff, entered the Miyue Card Gambling Store.
“Master Isaiah!!!”
The surrounding customers excitedly shouted the old man’s name.
A staff member held a microphone and said, “When Master Isaiah selects gambling stones later, he will share some valuable experiences. If your voices are too loud, some customers might not hear Master Isaiah’s voice, so please control your volume.”
Hearing the staff member’s words, all customers obediently lowered their voices.
Isaiah nodded to the surrounding customers and, without further ado, got straight to the point, examining the gambling stones.
He picked up a gambling stone from the shelf and examined it carefully, then began to explain, “The material of this gambling stone clearly belongs to the Dous Mountain Range…”
“…So this gambling stone will most likely yield an epic card. If you’re lucky, you might even get a relatively powerful epic card.”
After Isaiah finished speaking, a staff member respectfully took the gambling stone from his hand, and another staff member brought over a specialized card-opening machine.
Wen Xiangjie, standing in the front row, clearly saw what the card-opening machine looked like.
The card-opening machine looked more like an energy conversion device. The bottom of the device was large, used for placing gambling stones, while the top was for placing experience cards.
Experience cards were placed on top of the card-opening machine, and the energy contained within them was transmitted into the gambling stone.
The cards dormant within the gambling stone would slowly recover energy after absorbing the energy from the experience card.
Cards that had recovered energy would slowly move out of the gambling stone that enveloped them.
If some cards had completely run out of energy and were not merely “dormant” but utterly “dead,” they would be unable to move out of the gambling stone.
Furthermore, some gambling stones contained no cards at all, making it naturally impossible for any card to move out of them.
Therefore, if after five minutes of injecting energy from the experience card, there was still no sign of a card moving out of the gambling stone, it indicated that it was a useless gambling stone.
The staff member carefully placed the gambling stone selected by Isaiah at the bottom of the card-opening machine, then placed some experience cards on top of the card-opening machine.
The device began to activate, and a pale blue energy was transmitted from the experience cards into the gambling stone.
All the onlookers strained their eyes and held their breath, watching the movements of the gambling stone below.
Not long after, the edge of a card emerged from the upper right of the gambling stone. Looking closely, one side of the card seemed to glow with a light that was either blue or purple.
“A card appeared!”
“Judging by the luster, it’s either a rare card or an epic card!”
“As expected of Master Isaiah!!!”
“I trust Master Isaiah, this must be an epic card!”
“Master Isaiah, I am willing to pay a high price to purchase this gambling stone. I wonder if Master Isaiah is willing to part with it!!!”
Hearing the last sentence, all the customers’ eyes lit up, and they looked eagerly at Isaiah.
“You may.” Isaiah nodded slightly.
This was originally part of his agreement with the Miyue Card Gambling Store.
Hearing Isaiah say yes, the surrounding customers immediately began to bid excitedly. The marked price of this gambling stone on the shelf was 880,000, and the customers naturally started bidding from this base price of 880,000.
“I’ll offer 900,000!”
“The resale price for an epic card is 1,000,000. Who are you trying to fool with 900,000? I’ll offer 1,200,000!”
“What’s 1,200,000? I’ll offer 1,500,000!”
…
Ultimately, this gambling stone was purchased by a customer for 4,000,000.
This customer excitedly requested the Miyue Card Gambling Store to fully activate the card within this gambling stone.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a purple epic card was opened from the gambling stone.
“It really is an epic card! Hahaha! I have an epic card too!!!” The customer passionately kissed his freshly obtained epic card.
The surrounding customers looked at him enviously, then their gazes towards Isaiah became even more fervent.
The popularity of the Miyue Card Gambling Store also surged repeatedly, and the entire card gambling store was packed with people.
