Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 28 What kind of card is this?
Xie Huai'an rarely comes back, and knowing that the village has undergone tremendous changes, he lingered at Xie Yuwei's place for a long time.

During their conversation, Xie Huai'an noticed that his cousin had changed a lot.

Xie Yuwei also learned some information about this world from Xie Huai'an.

The two chatted for a morning, and before leaving, Xie Huai'an said he would come back for the next beast tide.

Jie Yuwei was a little confused. A beast tide? What beast tide?
She tried to recall the original owner's memories but found no information about the beast tide.

However, she vaguely remembered that the village had been attacked by many monsters.

To avoid exposing her true identity, Xie Yuwei didn't press the matter further. After seeing Xie Cheng and Xie Huai'an off, she continued studying her cards.

Two days passed, and Xie Yuwei ran out of cardstock.

It was a chilly morning. Xie Yuwei finished her breakfast as usual and then headed to town.

Xie Yuchen knew that her sister had important business to attend to in town, so she didn't ask to come along this time.

Jie Yuwei's identity as a spirit master has been revealed. This time, she did not act alone, but went to the village entrance to invite villagers to accompany her. This time, she planned to escort ordinary villagers to the town to collect materials.

The villagers waiting at the village entrance, hoping that a card spirit master would lead them to the town, felt very reassured knowing that Xie Yuwei would be leading the group.

Sister Wei is an intermediate-level Card Spirit Master, the most powerful one in the village. Going to town with her will definitely be fine.

After exchanging pleasantries with them for a while, Xie Yuwei led them out of the barrier and headed towards Zhoushan Town.

The journey was uneventful, and everyone arrived in town safely.

After telling them the return time, Xie Yuwei went to Qi Pawnshop alone.

The same scene unfolded once again; as soon as Manager Huang opened the door, he saw Xie Yuwei.

"Sister Wei?" Manager Huang was surprised. How long had it been? She was here again. Had she run out of cardstock?
Thinking of the cards in her hand, Manager Huang once again abandoned his own business and led Xie Yuwei to the back room.

The two went to the back room. Xie Yuwei didn't rush to take out her cards. Instead, she asked Manager Huang curiously:
"Uncle Huang, I heard that my Black Mamba Snake cards have sold for 50,000 taels each?"

Manager Huang sighed upon hearing this: "It's more than that! This card is priceless and has no market. I sold it for five thousand taels, and others immediately resold it for several times the price."

Xie Yuwei said, "If Uncle Huang makes more copies, the cards won't be hyped up so much."

Shopkeeper Huang looked at Xie Yuwei speechlessly. Did she think every card maker was like her? Making so many cards in a day?

His private card-making group can only produce one Black Mamba Snake card per day on average.

There are few card makers in Zhoushan Town, and the supply cannot meet the demand, so this card has been speculated to be worth a sky-high price.
Most importantly, they discovered that only card makers at the intermediate level or above could replicate Jie Yuwei's basic cards.

It's unbelievable that a mid-level card maker could copy a beginner card maker's cards.

Manager Huang explained this phenomenon to her.

Xie Yuwei sighed and stopped asking about the matter. She took out all the beginner cards she had made in the past few days.

When Manager Huang saw the thick stack of cards, he froze.

How many cards are there?
She's only been back for a few days?
Shopkeeper Huang took the cards and examined them. Each one was imbued with spiritual energy, and the quality was far superior to those on the market.

He flipped to the end and saw two new cards.

Ten copies of each new card were made.

"What kind of card is this?" Manager Huang asked.

Kaling's appearance is very novel, and it's impossible to tell what kind of beast it is.

Jie Yuwei explained the functions of the dustproof card and the corrosion card to him.

Shopkeeper Huang thought it was a fantasy. She created the dust-repelling card just to avoid doing housework?

"Will anyone buy this?" Manager Huang questioned. Corrosion cards are one thing, but what is a dustproof card?

Xie Yuwei said with a smile, "The dust-avoidance card is not sold to people from lower classes; its target is wealthy guests and nobles."

Manager Huang's eyes lit up. Xie Yuwei's words had opened a door to a new world for him.

"How much do you plan to sell these cards?" Manager Huang counted them; there were ninety in total.

"How much can Uncle Huang offer me?" Xie Yuwei asked curiously.

Manager Huang didn't hide anything from her: "The basic card sells for 1,000 taels of silver on the market, but I'll give you a price of 800 taels, so Qi Pawnshop can make a 20% profit."

Xie Yuwei shook her head: "That's not appropriate!"

"So how would you like to settle the accounts?" Manager Huang asked with a gentle smile.

Xie Yuwei pointed at the dust-avoiding card and said, "Give me one hundred taels of silver, and you can sell it for two hundred taels!"

Manager Huang raised an eyebrow. So low?
Xie Yuwei continued, "Give me five hundred for the corrosion card, and you'll sell it for eight hundred!"

“Give me 300 for the other basic cards, and you can sell them for 500.”

Manager Huang looked intently at Xie Yuwei and said, "No one has ever lowered the price of cards this much. Do you know what that means?"

Xie Yuwei is a modern person, so she can understand Manager Huang's concerns to some extent.

Are you afraid of being suppressed by other card makers?

Manager Huang did not answer Xie Yuwei's question. He chuckled, as if he had made a major decision:

"It's alright, Uncle Huang can handle it. You can decide how to sell it."

Xie Yuwei couldn't help but look at him with new respect and began to wonder about his identity. Ordinary people wouldn't have the courage to confront those forces.

"Let's calculate the price of the beginner's card first," Xie Yuwei said.

Manager Huang gave her an abacus, and each dust-proof card cost one hundred taels, for a total of ten cards.

Corrosion cards are 500 taels each, ten cards in total.
The other cards cost 300 taels each, for a total of 68 cards.

A total of 26,400 taels.

Manager Huang readily paid the bill for Xie Yuwei.

"Uncle Huang, why don't you try the cards?" Xie Yuwei said with a smile.

Manager Huang casually pulled out a dust-avoiding card and activated it. When he saw a spirit array flashing on the card but no beast-shaped card spirit, he lost his composure again:
"What form of card is this?"

He had always thought that the spirits of cards were always beast-shaped, and he had never seen spirit arrays appear on cards.

This is a new type of card. Does she know the value of this card?

The emergence of this type of card is about to bring innovation to the card-making industry.

Shopkeeper Huang was so excited that his hand trembled as he took the card.

When Xie Yuwei saw that he had asked, she said nonchalantly, "I don't know what form it is either. I just did it when I thought of it."

Manager Huang looked at Xie Yuwei in silence; he didn't understand the world of geniuses.

After settling the accounts for the beginner cards, Jie Yuwei took out the intermediate cards and placed them in front of Manager Huang.

"What is this?" Manager Huang asked.

This was yet another card he didn't recognize.

I sensed a strong spiritual energy emanating from the card, and it seemed like a mid-level card, yet it didn't quite seem like one; it felt like it was of a higher level...

Jie Yuwei introduced the Dust-Avoiding Rhinoceros to him: "This is a growth card I created. Its original state is the peak of the intermediate level."

Manager Huang looked at her blankly. What was she saying?
What growth card?
