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

"Mr. Zhang, are you sure you want to sell this Dragon Wolf?"

Lin Yan said in a hoarse voice, "It's a gold card, extremely valuable."

"I know."

Zhang Yun picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Later, I will take 900 million from the 100 million payment."

"The remaining 800 million will be used to purchase 1000 skull cards and as a deposit for the order."

"If you're willing to trust me, please reduce my deposit."

"If I can't pay for the goods when your store has collected the cards I need, I will use this card to cover the cost."

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan's breathing quickened slightly.

Her gaze fell on the gold card, and her mind raced.

According to the young man in front of me, he will probably leave nearly 700 million as a deposit.

The goods he wanted to order were worth around 6200 million, and the deposit was far less than 20%.

If Lin Yan agrees, she will be taking a considerable risk.

If this young man breaks his promise, she'll be stuck with 6200 million worth of worthless goods. She won't be able to explain the 700 million deposit back to the Lin family's higher-ups.

but...

If this young man really keeps his promise and can't come up with the 6000 million yuan payment, and actually uses his gold card to settle the debt, then she'll make a fortune!

First of all, acquiring a gold card for the family is already a great achievement.

Furthermore, as the direct supervisor of the business, one has the right to purchase cards first once a year.

If the young man in front of her really used the gold card to pay off the debt, then she could apply to her family to buy the gold card privately.

At that time, she will be able to own a gold card.

Once she obtains the gold card, she will have the opportunity to team up with others and challenge the dungeon.

If she can break through a dungeon, she can obtain another gold card.

With two gold cards in hand, even if she is only from a collateral branch, she will still have a voice in the Lin family's upper echelons.

For her, this was undoubtedly a chance to defy fate!

Thinking of this, her expression turned slightly serious, and she said sincerely, "Since Mr. Zhang is willing to trust our company, then I naturally cannot let Mr. Zhang down."

"How about this... you only need to pay a deposit of 5 million for the slime cards, and the deposit for the 10,000 skull cards can be waived."

"What do you think?"

"good!"

Zhang Yun nodded in satisfaction, put the gold card back into the codex, and casually asked, "By the way... how much do you think I can sell this Dragon Wolf Card for?"

Lin Yan's gaze returned to the gold card. After a moment's thought, she opened her right palm to Zhang Yun: "5 million."

5 billion?!

Zhang Yun's pupils constricted, and his mind was shaken.

He clenched his left hand tightly on his knee, his nails almost digging into his kneecap.

He had thought the gold card could be worth over 100 million, but he never imagined... it could sell for 500 million!

This number was beyond his comprehension, like a vocabulary from another dimension!

Seeing Zhang Yun's somewhat stiff expression, Lin Yan assumed he was dissatisfied with the price and quickly explained:

"Mr. Zhang, please don't misunderstand. The 5 million I mentioned refers to the reserve price."

"After all, the gold cards produced by the underground palace are all of the highest quality, and 5 million is just the minimum price."

"If the quality exceeds the standard after inspection, the price can be negotiated further."

Can the price rise further from 5 million?

Wow, that's terrifying!

Zhang Yun's heart was so excited it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

He lowered his head, took a sip of tea to hide the shock on his face, and replied, "If 5 million is just the bottom line, I can barely accept it."

"We'll see. If I can't raise the money, I'll consider selling this card to your company."

"good!"

Lin Yan smiled broadly and stood up, saying, "Then let's draft the order contract first, so we'll have some proof later."

"OK."

After signing the contract with Lin Yan and providing her contact information and bank account details, Zhang Yun left the reception room with her warm farewell.

Upon exiting the reception room, Lin Yan immediately summoned a shop assistant:

"Xiaolin, go and get all the skull cards in our store."

"All the skull cards in stock?"

A round-faced girl in her early twenties walked over and exclaimed in surprise, "Manager Lin, there are over a thousand skull cards in the warehouse!"

"I know, don't ask any more questions, just go and get it."

"Oh, please wait a moment."

The shop assistant named Xiaolin glanced at Zhang Yun subconsciously, but dared not ask any more questions. She turned around and quickly walked towards the store's warehouse.

While waiting, Lin Yan turned to the side and her gaze fell on the dark blue slime on Zhang Yun's shoulder.

It was dozing off with its triangular eyes half-closed, its crown perched crookedly on its head, rising and falling slightly with its breathing, which was quite adorable.

She asked curiously, "Mr. Zhang, your pet is so cute, how long have you had it?"

"The contract was just signed this afternoon."

Zhang Yun reached out and patted the Slime Tyrant's head, a doting smile spreading across his face.

Hearing this, Lin Yan was slightly surprised.

The term "contract" is generally only used by Beastmasters on their main Beast.

Could it be that this handsome young man has taken the slime as his master?

Lin Yan glanced at the Slime Tyrant once more.

Aside from the crown on his head, the Slime Tyrant seems no different from a regular slime.

Lin Yan didn't think Zhang Yun would consider it a main card contract; she assumed it was a slip of the tongue. She smiled and praised him:

"This little guy is special; it must be a mutant, right?"

"It is indeed very special."

Zhang Yun gently pinched its cheek with his fingers and laughed, "It might be the strongest slime in the world."

Even the strongest slime is still a weakling.

Lin Yan didn't voice her true thoughts, but simply smiled and asked, following Zhang Yun's words, "It looks very strong; it should be able to contend with a bronze-level phantom beast, right?"

"Um..."

Zhang Yun nodded, without revealing much information.

Even if he told the truth, the beautiful manager in front of him might not believe him.

After all, slimes are generally considered to be weak in combat, even a seven or eight-year-old child can beat them with a wooden stick, so no one believes that it can clear the dungeon by itself.

"Manager, the Skull Card inventory is all here."

The shop assistant, Xiaolin, returned carrying a dark wooden box about half a meter square and placed it on the counter.

The wooden crate was wiped clean, and inside were neatly stacked stacks of skull cards, their grayish-white surfaces gleaming with a faint, cold light under the warm yellow lamp.

"Each stack contains 100 sheets, and there are 12 stacks in total, for a total of 1200 sheets. Please take a look."

"You go ahead and get busy."

Lin Yan waved the shop assistant away, took out the remaining small stack of skull cards, and put them in the box.

"Mr. Zhang, there are 1200 skull cards in this wooden box."

"Including the 36 I just put in, that makes a total of 1236. Would you like to count them?"

"No need, you can just calculate the total."

Zhang Yun's heart was burning with excitement. He opened his backpack and eagerly picked up stacks of skull cards, stuffing them into it.

These 1000-plus skull cards are more precious to him than the Frost Dragon Wolf cards; they are enough for him to craft a Golden Skull card.

Lin Yan then took out a calculator and began calculating the price.

A moment later, Zhang Yun had packed all 1236 cards into his backpack, a satisfied smile on his face.

The backpack, which had been deflated, began to bulge slightly again.

Lin Yan also calculated the price of these 1236 cards and handed the calculator to Zhang Yun...
