Master Of Trading Star Card Game Chapter 10 Part2

Hong Zhu thought about it in her mind again.

It could cause huge damage to flower and plant cards and had a 10% chance for triggering instant death.

As a one-star card, it had a 10% chance; if it was leveled up to a seven-star card, the chance would…

"! ! !" At that moment, Hong Zhu was startled and extremely terrified by the card, as if she was. .h.i.t hard by a heavy hammer.

Seeing that her face turned pale with sudden fear, the stall owner thought she was indisposed and asked with concern, "sister Hong Zhu, what's wrong with you?"

Taking a deep breath to slow down her rapid heartbeat, Hong Zhu stood up slowly and asked with a calm face, pretending to the stall owner that she was indifferent to the card, "Is this your new card?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Yes, I have bought nine [Lin Daiyu] cards."

Hearing the owner's words, Hong Zhu's fingertips slightly trembled. She asked while trying to keep a peaceful voice, "Who made these cards that have elegant pictures on their faces?"

The owner replied, "I don't know him and I can't remember his name as he was supposed to be a newcomer that I haven't seen before. The data of the card is terrible. For example, its Defense is 15. I have never seen such a low Defense."

"Have you sold out all these nine cards?"

"Not yet. I have bought them just then."

"I'll take all of them."

"What? You want to buy all these cards?" The stall owner was stunned.

"These cards are beautiful. I'll buy them for girls in the guild to conduct collections." Hong Zhu smiled, saying, "Quote a price for these cards. I'll buy all of them."

Hong Zhu was an influential figure in the game, though she was short in stature. As the president of Fenghua Guild, she was called 'sister Hong Zhu' by others respectfully. She was in charge of collecting cards and materials for Fenghua Club, so she studied the cards more incisively than most players in the game.

She had a special hobby – wandering in the black market to hunt out original cards. Although she feigned indifference and said that she loved the face of this card, the owner always thought the cards that Hong Zhu loved must be great and quoted the price for the cards intelligently, saying, "How about 60 gold coins for one card?"

While holding the card in her hand casually, Hong Zhu smiled and said, "You're kidding me. Generally, such a useless one-star card will be sold for 20 gold coins in the market due to its terrible attributes, though it is beautiful. I've bought many seven-star cards from you, but you're still trying to w.a.n.gle more money from me. I won't buy them. Go on and keep them for sale."

She put down the card, turned on her heel and was about to go. The stall owner immediately called out to her, “Hey, I'm just joking. 35 gold coins, is that okay? To be honest, I bought it for 34. I don't want to lose money.”

Hong Zhu knew that the profiteer certainly did not tell the truth, but such a price was nothing to her. She breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned around, she immediately put a smile on her face, trying to appear she was not troubled about that. She paid the bill and casually said, “Some girls at our a.s.sociation are collecting character cards recently, especially exquisite ones. If someone sells such character cards to you in the future, please keep them all for me. I want to give them to my sisters.”

“Okay, no problem!” The boss counted the money and smiled.

Hong Zhu turned around and left. Original translation from w.a.n.gmamaread.

She walked around the black market to carefully search for other cards with instant death skills in large stalls acquiring cards. But she didn't find any other cards like Lin Daiyu, so she unclenched her fist and relieved. Hong Zhu took a deep breath, then she quickly took off her helmet and turned to the office next door.

Next door, Xue Linxiang was checking doc.u.ments about the league. Hong Zhu hurried in, her face pale.

Xue Linxiang wondered, “What happened? Why are you so anxious?”

Hong Zhu took a deep breath to calm down. She said quickly, “Sister Xue, I just found a particularly strange card in the black market. Its skill is triggering off instant death of flower and plant cards!”

Xue Linxiang jumped to her feet out of shock, "Instant death? Targeted at flower and plant cards?"

Hong Zhu nodded.

Xue Linxiang got a long face, “Immediately show the card's data to me!”

Hong Zhu opened the flat-panel optical brain, which could exchange information, on the desktop, and signed in to call out the card. She pointed to the card's data, “Terrible Base Attributes, and extremely low Defense – only 15 points – even if the card levels up to seven stars, its Defense won't exceed 1000. But its skill…”

Xue Linxiang looked at the delicate and touching girl with tears on her face strewing petals over the ground, then suddenly she had a strange feeling.

This made her feel creepy.

——Daiyu Burying the Flowers: To inflict huge damage on flower and plant cards, 10% chance of triggering instant death effect.

10% chance – this was a level 1 card. According to the rule, the chance would increase 1 point every time it raised 1 level. So when it raised to a level 70 black card, the chance would directly increase to 80%. Then its Effect Accuracy could be improved by using some special materials of high-quality. In the later stage, a black [Lin Daiyu] of level 70 would definitely have a 100% chance of triggering this effect.

If Daiyu Burying the Flowers caused instant death to flower and plant cards, the consequence would be too ghastly to contemplate.

Walking back and forth in her room, Xue Linxiang took a deep breath to calm down, saying, "The card's basic data is trivial, and so is its 15 Defense, because it doesn't need to guard against other cards in the least! It is just a function card that is mainly used to eliminate the opponent's trump flower and plant cards swiftly."

She stopped talking and frowned, saying, "Xiao Tang has many flower and plant cards in his set of playing cards, for example, the [Tuberose] that he sold. It is difficult to be killed as it has 100,000 HP and 50,000 Defense. However, the skill of Daiyu Burying the Flowers will inflict an instant death on Xiao Tang's flower and plant cards compulsorily. If someone uses it to compete against Tang Muzhou in the compet.i.tion… You know the consequence, right?"

Hong Zhu nodded and said with her voice slightly trembled, "It will seckill legend Tang's most powerful trump flower and plant cards and disrupt his rhythm completely."

Feeling a chill down her spine, Xue Linxiang said, "It can be claimed that this card will be the killer of Wood flower and plant cards."

Hong Zhu turned pale and kept silent for a long time.

She had an unerring instinct. Fortunately she bought all the cards, preventing them from spreading out. Otherwise, once card collectors from other clubs found these cards, they would upgrade them into seven-star black cards, which would pose a great threat to Tang Muzhou.

Xue Linxiang took a deep breath, looking at this card with a poignant style. She gave a rapier glance, “Targeted at flower and plant cards… who made them?”

Hong Zhu nervously said, “The boss said that he did not remember the maker's name. I will ask members of our a.s.sociation to investigate!”

Xue Linxiang clenched her fists, “We must find the maker as soon as possible!”

At the same time, Xie Mingzhe, who knew nothing about this, continued to draw Lin Daiyu in his personal apartment.

One Cousin Lin… two Cousin Lin…

His speed was getting faster and faster, and the picture more and more refined.

After making ten [Lin Daiyu] cards, Xie Mingzhe stopped. He stroked his chin and thought with a smile on his face, "Where should I sell them this time?"
