Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

"After I cleared the dungeon, I noticed that the ranking on the stone tablet had changed. It must be that someone cleared the Frostwolf Dungeon solo before we did when we were in a team."

"I want to find the person who got through customs. Would you do me the favor of letting me see the security footage?"

"Miss Dugu, are you mistaken?"

The old security guard scratched his head and said, "Just now, there was only one beam of light in the underground palace. That was the anomaly that occurred after you cleared the level as a team. There were no other beams of light."

"You must have made a mistake, right?"

"I couldn't be wrong, just watch the video yourself."

Dugu Ying took out her phone, opened the video, and showed it to the old security guard. "Before I formed a team to enter the underground palace, I looked at the rankings on the stone tablet. Zhang Kuang was in third place."

"When I came out of the dungeon, the third place on the stone tablet had become Zhang Laomo, and the fourth place had become Zhang Kuang, which is the ranking you see now."

The elderly security guard watched the video carefully and was suddenly shocked: "This ranking is definitely problematic!"

"I have been guarding this teleportation tower for over 20 years. I can recite the names of the top 50 experts in the single-player mode on the stone tablet by heart."

"Zhang Kuang has consistently ranked third for nearly 20 years without changing."

"Yesterday when I was cleaning the stone chamber, I glanced at the rankings and Zhang Kuang's name was still in third place."

"When did he drop to fourth place? This video of yours isn't photoshopped, is it?"

"Uncle, I'm not that bored. If you don't believe me, you can go and see the boundary marker right now."

Dugu Ying put her phone away and continued, "I want to find that person. Would it be convenient for you to let me see the surveillance footage?"

Seeing Dugu Ying's confident assertion, the old security guard was certain... someone had indeed cleared the underground palace solo just now!

After all, the rankings on the boundary markers cannot be faked.

Moreover, the light pillar at the boundary marker just now was quite unusual.

First, a beam of light appeared, and after nearly a minute, just as the beam was about to go out, another beam of light appeared.

The old security guard initially thought the boundary marker was malfunctioning, prolonging the time the light beam remained on.

Thinking about it now...

Perhaps it wasn't the boundary marker that prolonged the time the light pillars lit up, but rather that two groups of people simultaneously cleared the underground palace within a short period of time, causing the unusual phenomenon of two light pillars lighting up in succession.

This creates the illusion that the beam of light only illuminates once.

One of those two groups was naturally the expedition team composed of Dugu Ying, Lu Ming, and Zhao Long.

As for the other group...

Zhang Yun's image flashed through the old security guard's mind instantly!

From noon until now, apart from the three university giants, only Zhang Yun has entered the teleportation building.

Only that kid had the time to commit the crime!

Moreover, that kid just said... he also revealed the Greedy Wolf Token, so he wasn't just bragging!

Even if you beat the old security guard to death, he wouldn't believe that an unknown young ironworker could solo the Frostwolf Dungeon.

He also achieved a terrifying speedrun time of 61 minutes.

This is simply a fantasy!

But when all the coincidences converge on one person, even if that person seems impossible, they become the only answer!

That kid must be Old Devil Zhang!

The information was so explosive that the old security guard was somewhat dazed, muttering to himself:

"That...that kid, could he have actually cleared the entire underground palace on his own?"

"He said he got over a dozen cards, could it be true? If so, that kid's going to be rich!"

Dugu Ying couldn't hear what he was saying, so she leaned closer and asked, "Uncle, who is that kid you're talking about? What does it mean that he dropped more than a dozen cards?"

"Ah...it's nothing, I was just talking nonsense."

The old security guard quickly waved his hand and awkwardly laughed, "There were quite a few people entering the teleportation building just now, I'm not sure who it is..."

"oh..."

Dugu Ying nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and asked, "Could you show me the surveillance footage?"

"The surveillance cameras... have been broken for a long time."

The old security guard pointed to the dusty surveillance host in the corner and laughed awkwardly, "The principal won't approve the repair funds, so I've just ignored it. That thing is just for show."

"Is that so...then I won't bother you any longer."

Dugu Ying noticed the old security guard's unusual expression and guessed what was going on. Without asking any more questions, she turned and walked out of the teleportation building.

In fact, she had already guessed the general idea, but she just couldn't be sure.

But it doesn't matter. Once she asks her two teammates, she'll be able to verify her guess.

As Dugu Ying walked away, the old security guard's face gradually twisted, eventually turning into one of shock.

"No way, no way! That kid didn't actually solo the entire underground palace, did he?!"

"And it only took 61 minutes?!"

"What kind of monster is that kid? He's so fierce, he really gave me a fright!"

"You little brat, I'd sell this intelligence for a good price!"

The old security guard was completely excited. He took out his phone and quickly dialed the old principal's number.

After a few busy beeps, the old principal's impatient voice came from the other end:

"Hey, Old Chen, what's up now?"

The old security guard grinned smugly: "Reporting to the leader, I have important intelligence to report!"

"What kind of information do you have! Trying to scam free meals by betraying young people again? Let me tell you, schools aren't cracking down on puppy love anymore!"

"Hehe, this time it's really big news! It's about the newly ranked third place on the dungeon solo clear leaderboard!"

"Isn't Zhang Kuang always the third-ranked solo dungeon clearer?"

"It's broken! It just got broken!"

"The newly listed top seller is incredibly cunning; you'd never guess who he is if I didn't tell you! By the way... I'm a bit short on cash lately, I can't even afford some cigarettes..."

"You better not lie to me, or I wouldn't mind extending your retirement by five years!"

"Ahem, I'd be a dog to lie to you! Come here right now, or that third-ranked student will get snatched up by another school, don't say I didn't warn you!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

"Okay!"

The old security guard hung up the phone, in high spirits, and then sent two more roses to the female anchor on his phone...
