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

"Waaaaah—!"

Zhang Ya suddenly let out a piercing scream, startling all the students around her.

All the students looked at her with surprise.

Xu Xiaolan covered her ears and grumbled, "Zhang Ya, what are you yelling about!"

"Don't think I'll listen to you just because you're pretending to be crazy!"

"Lanlan, come with me quickly, I'll watch your baby for you!"

Zhang Ya was so excited that her face flushed. She closed the Bronze Codex, grabbed her best friend, and left.

"Let go, you stinking Zhang Ya! I'm not going with you! Help! This is kidnapping!"

Xu Xiaolan struggled and screamed, but none of her classmates paid any attention, since these two best friends would fight every now and then.

The students are already used to it.

Without saying a word, Zhang Ya pulled Xu Xiaolan to a corner of the playground before letting go of her.

Xu Xiaolan glared at her with displeasure and said, "You stinky Zhang Ya, you better really have some treasure to show me, or you'll be sorry!"

Zhang Ya pressed her hand to her pounding heart and said excitedly, "I'm afraid you'll be scared if I show it to you!"

Xu Xiaolan crossed her arms and scoffed, "Tch, what haven't I seen? You think I'd be scared? That's ridiculous!"

"See for yourself."

Zhang Ya flipped the code to the third main card page and handed it to Xu Xiaolan. Xu Xiaolan looked down and her eyes almost popped out of her head.

On the main card page, there was a silhouette of a four-armed snake woman, radiating a golden halo.

The noble aura unique to the Golden Card Beast made Xu Xiaolan's hair stand on end, even through the pages of the Codex!

At that moment, she was completely shocked!

I couldn't help but scream:

"Four-armed Na... Waaah—!"

Before she could cry out, Zhang Ya covered her mouth and closed the codex with her mind.

She glanced around warily, making sure no one was paying attention to them, before lowering her voice to speak to Xu Xiaolan:

"You're going to die!"

"Are you shouting so loudly because you want everyone to know I have a gold card?!"

"Waaaah—!"

Xu Xiaolan pulled Zhang Ya's hand away, took several deep breaths, and then whispered in shock, "Ya...Ya Ya, I...I didn't see wrong, did I?"

"You...you've signed a contract for a gold card?!"

Zhang Ya pressed her hand to her pounding heart and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm not sure either..."

"How can you be so unsure!"

Xu Xiaolan pointed at her bronze codex, trying to lower her voice, but her emotions were still extremely agitated: "I clearly saw it just now, it was a gold card!"

"And a precious four-armed Naga general at that!"

"This is your Bronze Codex, how dare you be unsure!"

"I'm really not sure..."

Zhang Ya tried hard to suppress her excitement and explained, "I only discovered it when I opened the law code just now."

"I was startled myself just now, didn't you hear it too?"

"Keep pretending!" Xu Xiaolan pouted, giving him a look that said, "Keep making things up."

Zhang Ya was exasperated and could only explain again, "I really don't know! I didn't even see the data on this card clearly, I'd be a dog if I lied to you!"

Xu Xiaolan stared at her best friend for several seconds.

Zhang Ya's ears turn red when she lies, and she avoids looking into her eyes.

Now, this guy is looking me in the eye without any hesitation, and his ears are the normal color, so it seems he really wasn't lying!

Xu Xiaolan didn't care where Zhang Yana got the card and excitedly urged, "Then what are you waiting for? Since you haven't seen the data clearly, why don't you open it now and take a look? It'll be good for me to broaden my horizons too."

"I've never seen the data for a gold card up close before!"

Xu Xiaolan's statement is not an exaggeration.

Gold cards are extremely valuable, and most people treat them like treasures. Only the scions of wealthy and powerful families would openly claim to have a gold card.

It's very rare for a child from an ordinary family like Hsu Hsiao-lan to actually see a gold card.

Similarly, Zhang Ya hadn't seen it either!

But now, she not only saw it, but also possessed it; it truly felt like a dream!

"Okay, I'll open the law code for you now, but don't make a sound after you've seen it."

"Okay, okay, I'm not stupid!"

Hearing her best friend's assurance, Zhang Ya took a deep breath. With a slight thought, the Codex automatically turned the page, freezing on the third page of the main card.

A terrifying statistic, almost blinding to the two women, emerged:

[Golden Naga General: Water-based, Physical]

[Card Quality: Gold]

[Card Beast Level: Tier 1, Stage 5]

[Potential: ☆☆☆☆☆]

[Occupation: Weapons Expert]

[Talent: Weapon Expert (S-rank) - Can use most weapons and perform at an expert level]

[Talent: Water Element Affinity (S-Rank) - All attacks are imbued with the power of water element]

[Skills: Water Roar (Rank A), Water Serpent Technique (Rank A), Water Arrow Technique (Rank A), Water Blade Slash (Rank A)]

Overall combat strength: 920

"hiss!"

Despite being mentally prepared, Zhang Ya was still shocked by the impressive data and gasped sharply.

Holy crap!

Xu Xiaolan couldn't help but swear, her head tilting back in shock.

At that moment, both women were startled!

It's normal for them to be frightened, after all... their strongest phantom beasts are both silver-level.

Zhang Ya's main Kaka Beast is a Silver Dire Wolf, with a combat power of 270 at Tier 1, Stage 5.

Xu Xiaolan's main beast is a silver minotaur, with a combat power of 275 at Tier 1, Stage 5.

The golden Naga General that appeared before the two of them had a combat power of 920 points, reaching the fifth stage of the first tier!

With 920 combat power, you can easily crush someone with 270 combat power – a difference of several times!

And this Golden Naga isn't just powerful in terms of stats...

It also boasts an expert-level profession, an S-level talent, and all A-level skills!

Such data is simply beyond their understanding of gold cards!

At this moment, both women were completely captivated by the gold card. Their eyes widened and they remained frozen for several seconds before slowly regaining their senses.

"Awesome...this is just too awesome! *gulp*"

Xu Xiaolan swallowed hard, looked at Zhang Ya in disbelief, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Ya Ya, tell me honestly, where did you get this card?"

"Don't tell me this was a gift from the system. I don't believe in systems like those in novels!"

"Didn't I just say I really didn't know!"

Zhang Ya immediately closed the law book, let out a long breath, and continued, "When I woke up this morning, I felt a slight change in my physical condition; I felt more energetic than before."

"I didn't take it seriously at the time, and just took the law code and came to school."

"Then, I just wanted you to help me train the Beast Cards, but when I opened the Codex, I noticed something was wrong. There was an extra card on the main card page."

"Then, I turned to the third page and saw this gold card, which was embedded on my main card page."

"I swear... I'm lying to you. If I lie to you even once, I'm a dog!"

"Idiot, I definitely believe you."

Xu Xiaolan naturally trusted her best friend, wrinkled her nose at her, and asked, "Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

Zhang Ya shook her head and said with a wry smile, "When I fall asleep, I'm like a dead pig, you know that."

"Perhaps someone secretly put the gold card into my legal code while they were asleep."

Xu Xiaolan thought for a moment and asked, "Did your dad come back and secretly slip it into your card?"
