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

Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?

Zhou Jiyuan braced his hands on the table and asked his secretary.

"Absolutely true!"

The secretary's voice trembled slightly with excitement: "I was just about to go and find the trial participant who triggered the golden holy light."

"As soon as we entered the boundary marker hall, we saw a dark golden pillar of light shoot into the sky."

"The hunters on site all saw it; there's no faking it!"

"Who triggered the Dark Gold Holy Light? Do you know the name?" Xiao Lanxiu asked urgently, her face serious.

"I don't know."

The secretary looked at her and shook her head, saying, "There were too many people rushing over to check, and I couldn't get close to the boundary marker, so I came back to report first."

"Such a big matter, I must go and confirm it myself."

Zhou Jiyuan pushed back his chair and said to everyone, "Gentlemen, please excuse me. Please continue."

Shen Chongshan stood up and said, "Elder Zhou, it is a blessing for Jiangcheng that such a master has emerged."

"Let's go and check it out together."

"President, Commander Shen, we need to go check it out too! Let's see who this person is who can trigger the Dark Gold Holy Light!"

"I'm going too! I've never seen a Dark Gold Card Beast in real life before, I really need to see one!"

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go!"

Seeing that these talented young people couldn't sit still, Chairman Zhou nodded and said, "In that case, let's go down and take a look together."

"If we can find the person who succeeded later, we'll see if we can invite him over for tea and a chat."

"good!"

Let's go together!

Everyone rushed out of the conference room, took the elevator, and hurried down to the ground floor...

...

At this moment, the lobby on the first floor was in an uproar.

A large number of hunters, looking excited and holding various mobile phones, surged toward the hall where the boundary marker was located.

In an instant, a huge crowd surged forth, shoulder to shoulder.

"Excuse me, there's an injured person here, please make way!"

Teacher Lu pushed through the crowd to clear a path for Zhang Yun and the other two, squeezing towards the outside of the boundary marker hall.

At this time, Zhang Yun was in very poor condition.

He was soaking wet, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were almost bloodless.

My legs felt weak and I had almost no strength left.

The Slime Tyrant and the Little Skeleton were also in poor condition and had been taken back into the Codex by Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun suffered some damage after clearing the Frostwolf Dungeon once during the day.

At the time, I felt fine and didn't take it seriously.

However, he had just cleared the dungeon twice in a row and fought a fierce battle with a dark gold monster, which almost exhausted his physical strength and soul power.

If it weren't for Lu Xueqi and Xiao Zhangqi supporting him, it's uncertain whether he could have squeezed out of the boundary hall on his own.

"Cousin, are you alright?"

"Why are your hands so cold? Are you hurt? Don't scare me!"

Little Zhang Qi held onto Zhang Yun's arm, using her small body to support his swaying figure, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'm fine."

Zhang Yun raised his hand and touched his hair, gently comforting him, "I was too careless when fighting the final boss just now, and got caught up in a long battle."

"I'm just a little exhausted, I'm not injured at all."

Lu Xueqi supported him from the other side, raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from his brow, and said in an annoyed tone, "You're really reckless. You're so exhausted, and you still want to solo the final boss."

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until next week to clear the game? The dungeon boss isn't going anywhere."

Zhang Yun shrugged and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect the sacred beast projection to suddenly increase in strength. If I had known it would become stronger, I would never have risked connecting to it."

Lu Xueqi rolled her eyes at him and said, "The combat power of the sacred beast projection is not fixed. Even elementary school students know this."

"Some sacred beast projections have a combat power of less than 700, while others can approach four digits, showing a wide fluctuation."

"You're pretty lucky; you only encountered a regular final boss. What would you have done if you'd run into a Dark Gold Sacred Beast projection!"

Teacher Lu also turned around and earnestly advised, "Zhang, you should listen to what Xueqi said."

"Someone actually encountered the projection of the Dark Gold Sacred Beast just now and defeated it."

"You're lucky you didn't encounter that monster, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get out."

"You'd better be more careful in the future, and think more about your family. Look at Zhang Qi, he's almost crying. How can you bear to see him like that!"

"Thank you for reminding me, I will remember that in the future."

Zhang Yun nodded repeatedly, his lips twitching slightly...

Good heavens, didn't they know that it was he who pierced through the projection of the Dark Gold Sacred Beast?

Since he didn't know, Zhang Yun was too lazy to admit it.

Firstly, he was afraid of scaring the three people, and secondly, he didn't want to reveal too much of his trump card.

These days, murders and card thefts happen frequently, almost every few days, and are reported on the news.

Zhang Yun has no background and his rank is not high enough, so he dares not flaunt his wealth in a high-profile manner.

To avoid being targeted by assassins and thugs and dying violently in the street.

More and more people poured into the boundary marker hall, making it difficult for the four of them to move.

Fortunately, although Teacher Lu appears to be delicate, she is actually a tough woman. She squeezed, kicked, and even kneed, finally carving out a path and leading everyone into the Hunter's Guild Hall.

At this point, there were not many people left in the guild hall. Almost 90% of the hunters had flocked to the boundary hall to watch the big shots.

Lu Xueqi helped Zhang Yun to a corner bench, let out a long breath, and a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face:

"Zhang Yun, I just calculated the time for you."

"You cleared the Naga Dungeon in about 30 minutes."

"This speed is absolutely incredible."

"Even Xiao Lan, that proud and beautiful woman, pales in comparison to you!"

"You almost broke Lord Ye Fan's historical record!"

Zhang Yun leaned against the wall, shaking his head with a smile: "Speedrunning is meaningless, since the loot is pretty much the same anyway."

"Zhang, you can't say that."

Teacher Lu took out a tissue to wipe his wet hair, her eyes full of admiration: "You cleared the underground palace in 30 minutes, a speed comparable to the heroes and sages of Jiangcheng!"

"This is a tremendous honor!"

"If I could teach a student as outstanding as you, I could use you as a teaching material for the rest of my life!"

"If your parents knew about your achievements, they would be so proud of you, they'd be laughing in their sleep!"

Xiao Zhangqi couldn't help but interject, "Teacher, my cousin is an orphan."

"Ah...this..."

Teacher Lu's face stiffened for a moment, then she quickly apologized to Zhang Yun: "I'm sorry, Zhang, I didn't mean to..."

Zhang Yun smiled and waved his hand: "It's alright, you don't need to apologize, I'm fine."

Lu Xueqi quickly changed the subject, asking, "Zhang Yun, are you participating in the speedrunning competition tomorrow?"

"If you represented our school to raid the Milotau Palace, you would definitely break historical records."

"At that time, those guys from No. 2 High School will be so shocked by your strength that they will never dare to call themselves the number one high school in Jiangcheng again."

"I think you can show your abilities; everyone will see you as a hero of the school."

Zhang Yun's lips twitched, and he shook his head, saying, "I'm not going to participate in any speedrunning competitions. I just want to swipe my card quietly."

"Besides, doesn't our school have three giants?"

"Each of them is a Silver Summoner, and they all have powerful decks. They should be able to easily defeat the experts from No. 2 Middle School."

"Pshaw, how can the Big Three compare to you?"

Lu Xueqi curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Their true strength is stronger than yours, but if you suppress it to the first-tier combat power level, you can make them cry."

"You are the true king of the underground palace at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School!"

"Shh, Xueqi, keep your voice down, your brother and the others are coming!" Teacher Lu quickly made a shushing gesture.

"Ah...where is he?"

Lu Xueqi looked in the direction her aunt was pointing and sure enough, she saw a group of distinguished-looking young men and women walking out of the elevator lobby.

His older brother, Lu Ming, was among them.
