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

Age: 18 years or younger

[Law Code: Bronze level or above]

[Card Beast: At least one Tier 2 Silver Card]

Number of people to be recruited: 100

[Duration: 3 days]

Next are the rewards:

[Prize: 500 million each]

[Note: If the Demon Palace is successfully breached, the individual will receive an additional third-class merit.]

[Note: If killed in battle, the compensation will be increased by an additional ten million, and the person will be awarded the title of martyr.]

A reward of 500 million is indeed quite substantial, an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for bronze-level summoners, the reward is not particularly enticing.

Reaching the Bronze Summoner level during high school is already considered an elite among Summoners, with great potential for future advancement to the middle class or even higher.

If someone were to die in the Demon Palace, let alone a 1000 million compensation, even an additional 1000 million would be a loss for their family.

However, a large number of students still rushed to sign up.

Protecting one's home and country is a simple dream for young people, and a grand goal for realizing their self-worth.

The arrival of the Demon Palace poses a threat to their homeland, and the hot-blooded young man naturally cannot restrain himself.

"Director, I want to sign up!"

"Lin Qiang, Grade 12, I have a Silver Dire Wolf card, Tier 2, Rank 4!"

"Director, I want to sign up too. I'm on the list; you should know how capable I am, right?"

"Director, I also want to register. I'm in Class S of Grade 3. Do I need to have my ID card checked?"

Several students from Class S of the senior year were vying to sign up, and the teachers registering them were a little too busy.

The head of the teaching department immediately reassured them, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"The registration period is three days. You can think carefully about the consequences before you register."

"You'd better discuss this with your family members and not act impulsively."

Seeing so many students sign up, the head of the teaching department was pleased, but deep down he still didn't want the students to take any risks, so he kept calling out to remind them.

As someone who had been through it all, the head of the teaching department knew better than anyone how dangerous the Demon Palace was.

That was a battlefield, and a desperate situation.

Once inside the Demon Palace, one side will inevitably be wiped out, resulting in an extremely tragic outcome.

If he had a choice, he really wouldn't want his school's students to go to war.

But many things still need to be done by someone...

As the dean of students, he was ordered to recruit students, which was quite frustrating. He could only hope that the students would consider the consequences and think twice before acting.

Many students were initially excited and wanted to sign up, but after listening to the advice of the head of the teaching department, they chose to wait and see.

After reading the announcement, Zhang Yun turned and left without lingering.

He had naturally heard of the Demon Palace.

Unlike dungeons, where you can escape through a teleportation array after defeating a wave of monsters, or rest and recover before continuing your raids, this place offers a different experience.

The Demon Palace is different; it's a complete killing field!

Once inside, you must fight the ancient demon army to the death!

The ancient demon army is no pushover; it's a powerful race that ruled this planet for tens of thousands of years.

They are exceptionally gifted, possessing a size and strength far exceeding that of humans, and are ruthless and devoid of any compassion; calling them killing machines is no exaggeration.

In ancient times, the Ancient Demons were the most powerful race, and even the Dragons, Phoenixes, Titans, and High Elves were no match for them.

Fortunately, three thousand years ago, the God of Summoning rose to power.

He rallied countless races and sages to form an alliance, and through bloody battles, barely managed to drive the ancient demon race out of this world.

Although the world has now escaped the rule of the ancient demon race, the ancient demon race is always thinking about counterattacking, infiltrating, and returning to this world.

As a Jiangcheng native with flesh and blood, Zhang Yun naturally wanted to fight the Demon Palace since it was practically right on his doorstep.

But he was still too weak.

The minimum requirement for conquering the Demon Palace is a second-tier bronze level, which means that the Demon Palace is inhabited by a large number of second-tier ancient demons.

He is currently at the first-tier level. Although he is almost invincible at the first tier, it would be too difficult for him to go head-to-head with a second-tier opponent.

Any random second-tier ancient demon servant could pose a threat to him.

Instead of showing off, it's better to leave the opportunity to senior students who are of higher rank and stronger.

There is plenty of time ahead; he will have many opportunities to serve his country and there is no need to rush.

As he approached the teaching building, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from ahead.

He looked up and saw his cousin Zhang Ya and her best friend Xu Xiaolan arguing.

Xu Xiaolan was very agitated and was arguing with her cousin Zhang Ya.

"Why did my cousin get into an argument with her friend...?"

Zhang Yun muttered something to himself, then led the little skeleton quickly toward them...

...

"Ya Ya, are you crazy?! Go cancel your registration right now!"

"Don't you know how dangerous the Demon Palace is? People die there! My uncle was a Silver Summoner, and he died in the Demon Palace!"

"You're just a bronze-level player, what are you doing getting involved!" Xu Xiaolan grabbed Zhang Ya's arm, her eyes red with anxiety.

Zhang Ya pried her hand off her arm and said firmly, "Xiao Lan, don't try to persuade me."

"My dad is a soldier, guarding the border."

"As a descendant of soldiers, how can I stand idly by when the Demon Palace appears at my doorstep?"

"I must contribute to this campaign against the Demon Palace!"

"Are you stupid?!"

Xu Xiaolan stomped her foot in anger and exclaimed, "There are so many experts in the school, and you're not even ranked in the top 100. What are you trying to prove?"

"If the sky falls, the tall people will hold it up; do you think it'll be your turn, a girl?"

"I've already registered, it's impossible to withdraw, and besides..."

Zhang Ya paused for a moment, then said, "I bought a Dire Wolf card for my cousin before, and I also lent you 20 yuan, so I have to pay it back, right?"

Zhang Ya's decision to sign up for the campaign against the Demon Palace wasn't entirely driven by passion.

She also had her own little scheme.

If she can return alive from the underground palace, she will receive a reward of 500 million.

This amount of money is nothing to those scions of wealthy families, but it's a huge sum for her.

If she could get the 500 million, she could buy her younger brother a silver card, giving him a head start over other children his age.

With the remaining money, I bought a silver card for my cousin Zhang Yun.

My cousin Zhang Yun is too slow to get started. Relying solely on a Bronze Fang Dire Wolf card, he won't be able to get out of Class 10 of the first year of high school.

If he can secure a decent silver card and work hard, he might be able to get into a good university in the future.

As the older sister, she has the ability to work hard, so naturally she'll give it her all.

Of course, she also had great confidence in the school's three top students.

The three giants are worth hundreds of millions, and each of them is an heir to a wealthy family. They are not afraid to die in the fight against the Demon Palace. She is just a child from an ordinary family. What is there to be afraid of?

"You can pay me back the money you borrowed slowly, but I won't allow you to sign up to fight the Demon Palace!"

"Go cancel right now, or I'll tell your mom!"

"Xu Xiaolan, stop fooling around, or I'll really get angry!"

Hearing Xu Xiaolan threaten her with her mother, Zhang Ya's stubborn temper was ignited.

She knew her best friend meant well and was doing it for her own good, but she also had her own life goals and would not compromise.

Just as the two were arguing heatedly, Zhang Yun walked over.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong? Why are you arguing?"

Seeing Zhang Yun approach, Zhang Ya's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural, and she quickly waved her hand, "No...it's nothing, I'm just talking to Xiao Lan about something."

"Class is about to start, cousin, hurry back to class, don't be late."

As she spoke, she tried to pull Xu Xiaolan away.

Xu Xiaolan, as if grasping at a straw, shook off Zhang Ya's hand and urgently said to Zhang Yun, "Junior Zhang Yun, you should quickly persuade your sister!"

"She's gone mad! She's going to the Demon Palace to die! Waaah—!"

Before Xu Xiaolan could say anything more, Zhang Ya immediately covered her mouth.

"Cousin, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, hurry up and go back to class."

Without saying a word, Zhang Ya pulled Xu Xiaolan away.

Xu Xiaolan tried to struggle, but Zhang Ya's strength was astonishing today, making it impossible for her to resist.

All it could do was whimper and struggle as Zhang Ya dragged it away.

Zhang Yun gazed at her two cousins ​​walking away, her expression somewhat grave...
