In the Ordinary District, Master Isaiah opened two more gambling stones, revealing a rare card and an epic card. The Miyue Card Gambling Store staff then announced that Master Isaiah would proceed to the VIP District to select gambling stones, which would also be opened in the Ordinary District.
However, customers who couldn't enter the VIP District would not be able to hear Master Isaiah's explanations.
This move by Miyue Card Gambling Store was brilliant; it maintained the popularity of the Ordinary District while attracting some capable customers to apply for VIP membership.
Wen Xiangjie presented her black-gold invitation card to the VIP District staff.
The staff member subtly observed Wen Xiangjie's appearance, then respectfully returned the black-gold invitation card.
"Please enter this way," the staff member led Wen Xiangjie to the VIP District entrance.
After watching Wen Xiangjie enter the VIP District, the staff member hurried away to the Miyue Card Gambling Store manager's office.
"Manager, the Gambling Card Master invited by Shenyou Card Gambling Store just entered the VIP District," the staff member reported, bowing his head.
"Which Master is it?" Hobson, the manager of Miyue Card Gambling Store, quickly asked.
The Master invited by Shenyou Card Gambling Store this time was very mysterious; Miyue Card Gambling Store had inquired for a long time but couldn't find out anything.
"It's a very young-looking girl, like a student, never heard of her before," the staff member's expression was also somewhat surprised.
A young girl? Like a student?
Hobson crossed his hands on the desk and pondered.
The Gambling Card Master industry requires the accumulation of experience; such a young Gambling Card Master was unheard of.
If it weren't for the fact that this Gambling Card Master was supposedly personally invited by Allison, and coupled with the generous rewards of this Gambling Card District event, which no gambling card store could refuse, he would have thought that Shenyou Card Gambling Store couldn't find a Master more powerful than Master Isaiah and simply gave out the invitation as a favor.
"Which area did you take her to?" Hobson asked.
"I took her there; I saw her enter through that entrance with my own eyes," the staff member immediately replied.
Hobson nodded.
He had specially prepared an area for Gambling Card Masters invited by other gambling card stores, especially for the Gambling Card Master from Shenyou Card Gambling Store.
All the gambling stones in this area shared a common characteristic: analyzing them from various features, these gambling stones were all excellent embryos, guaranteed to reveal at least an epic card.
But in reality, the cards inside these gambling stones were either completely unawakable due to energy depletion, or their energy was abnormal, making it easy to mistake the rare cards inside for epic cards.
These gambling stones were all carefully selected by Miyue Card Gambling Store to create traps for the Masters invited by their competitors; even Master Isaiah said they were very difficult to discern.
He might as well use this to test the abilities of these Gambling Card Masters invited by rival stores.
Wen Xiangjie entered the VIP District intending to continue watching the excitement, but since she was already there, she also took the opportunity to look at the gambling stones in the VIP District.
Hmm, this gambling stone looks quite like a puppy, and the gambling stone behind the puppy looks exactly like... *hiss*, let's look at the next row.
Wen Xiangjie didn't know what made a good gambling stone. She quickly scanned rows of gambling stones, not finding any that made her want to buy them.
After finishing this shelf, Wen Xiangjie continued to the next shelf.
The gambling stone placed in the very center of the shelf immediately caught Wen Xiangjie's attention.
This one, she wanted it, she had to get it!
Wen Xiangjie unhesitatingly took the oddly shaped gambling stone from the shelf.
Holding the oddly shaped gambling stone in front of her and looking at it for a while, she inexplicably found it strangely cute. Wen Xiangjie contentedly hugged the gambling stone and continued to browse.
There weren't as many gambling stones in the VIP District as in the Ordinary District, so Wen Xiangjie quickly saw all the gambling stones in the VIP District and didn't find a second one that she really wanted to acquire.
There were a few gambling stones that she found pleasing to the eye, but that was all.
When she reached the last part of the VIP District, Wen Xiangjie coincidentally met most of the people following Master Isaiah.
"...This gambling stone is worth a gamble; those who want to try their luck can give it a shot," Master Isaiah put down the gambling stone in his hand.
The accompanying staff member immediately said, "Alright, Master Isaiah has finished helping everyone for the morning. Master Isaiah is going to rest now, please make way."
Although the customers in the VIP District were reluctant for Master Isaiah to leave, they politely moved to both sides, allowing Master Isaiah to leave the VIP District and go to the lounge.
She came too late, missing out on this excitement.
Wen Xiangjie regrettably exited.
She turned directly, intending to leave through the closest exit in the VIP District.
Master Isaiah also happened to be leaving through this exit to go to the lounge.
As a result, Master Isaiah saw the back of Wen Xiangjie walking in front of him, and the gambling stone she was holding.
So, this stone was bought after all...
Master Isaiah sighed silently.
He had a deep impression of this gambling stone; no matter how you looked at it, this gambling stone was absolutely perfect, a textbook example of a gambling stone containing a legendary card.
Unfortunately, after his further careful observation, combined with Miyue Card Gambling Store's high-tech detection, it was finally confirmed that the card buried inside this gambling stone had completely run out of energy and could not be awakened.
This conclusion left Master Isaiah and the staff of Miyue Card Gambling Store extremely regretful.
Master Isaiah also knew that Hobson ultimately took this gambling stone to use as a trap to trick Masters invited by other gambling card stores.
He wondered if this young girl in front was a Master invited by another gambling card store, but seeing how young she was, he hoped not.
Otherwise, opening a 廢卡 amidst the grand fanfare created by the gambling card store would completely ruin this young girl's future in the gambling card world.
After paying for and buying this gambling stone, Wen Xiangjie had barely left Miyue Card Gambling Store when Hobson received the news.
"She bought that waste stone?" Hobson asked, surprised and delighted.
After receiving an affirmative reply from the staff, he burst into laughter.
"Good, good, good. It seems this young Master Allison invited does have some skill, but unfortunately, that's all the skill she has," Hobson was in a very good mood.
"Congratulations, Manager! It seems the winner of this event is none other than our Miyue Card Gambling Store, and Shenyou Card Gambling Store will lose a lot of face this time. From now on, the number one gambling card store in the Gambling Card District will be us, Miyue!" the staff member also praised excitedly.
"You're right!" Hobson looked at the staff member approvingly: "Keep an eye on the developments at Shenyou Card Gambling Store. Remember to tell me when they're ready to open cards; I want to witness this magnificent moment with my own eyes!"
(Babies, visiting relatives during May Day is too tiring. Today's update is a day off. We'll resume three updates a day starting tomorrow, mwah mwah~)
