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

Chapter 99 The Bet

Zhou Na pushed up her thick-rimmed glasses, her eyes slowly narrowing, and a cunning smile that seemed to see through everything curled at the corners of her mouth.

"Are you worried I'm bad at this game and will steal your loot and experience points?"

Zhang Yun's expression stiffened slightly. That was indeed what he was thinking, but he didn't expect that Teacher Zhou Na would see through him.

It seems her IQ isn't that low.

Of course, Zhang Yun wasn't afraid that Teacher Zhou Na would take advantage of him.

He desperately needs experience to reach the Bronze rank and must try to gain experience from every monster in the dungeon.

In this way, he can ensure that he levels up as quickly as possible.

Zhang Yun thought this in his heart, but he couldn't admit it aloud, otherwise he would definitely get a beating.

He shrugged and laughed, "You misunderstand. As a teacher, your abilities are undoubtedly superior to mine as a student."

"I just feel bad that I'm taking advantage of you by making you spend your time showing me around."

"Hmph, don't try to flatter me. You think you can fool your teacher with your little schemes?"

"Your teacher has seen more scumbags than you've eaten rice!"

Zhou Na put her hands on her hips, raised her chin arrogantly, and said, "Let me tell you first, I also have some trump cards up my sleeve."

"If we're talking about pure human combat, you might be able to hold your own against the teacher, but when it comes to the strength of your monsters, your little skeleton is nothing more than a piece of cake in the teacher's eyes."

Zhang Yun chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Then let's have a competition to see whose monster-slaying card can kill more monsters."

"Let's compete! Who's afraid of who!"

Zhou Na agreed without hesitation, then added, "But the loser has to treat us to dinner at the best five-star hotel in the city. Are you in?"

The best five-star hotel in the city uses mostly rare monster meat from the wild, which is extremely expensive.

A single meal like this would cost at least five figures.

Zhang Yun didn't want his teacher to spend money, so he touched his nose and said, "Isn't it the winner who treats us to dinner? After all, the winner gets all the benefits."

"What, you trying to freeload?"

Teacher Zhou Na pursed her lips and looked at Zhang Yun with the expression of looking at a younger brother: "Are you going to compete or not? If you don't dare to compete, then forget it. I'm free anyway, so it won't hurt to help you out."

"But I'll call you 'Little Dog' from now on, since you're too timid."

"this..."

Seeing that Teacher Zhou Na insisted on treating him to dinner, Zhang Yun could only nod and agree: "Alright, it's as you said, the loser treats to dinner."

"Thank you in advance, teacher, for the free lunch!"

As if afraid that Zhang Yun would change her mind, Teacher Zhou Na turned her slender waist and walked quickly towards the door.

In the morning, she was severely impacted by Zhang Yun's extraordinary talent, and her confidence suffered a massive blow. She was worried about how to get back at him.

Now this kid has actually given me the opportunity to deal with him, so it's a good chance to let him see the power of my Black Speed Ninja!

...

A moment later, the two arrived at the security booth in front of the teleportation building.

Security guard Lao Chen seemed engrossed in watching female live streamer videos and didn't notice Zhang Yun's arrival.

Zhang Yun had originally planned to bring the old security guard two packs of cigarettes, but he forgot because he was in such a hurry.

Forgot about it? Zhang Yun didn't even say goodbye and followed Teacher Zhou Na to the boundary marker.

At this moment, two beams of light shone in front of the boundary marker.

Zhang Ya and Xu Xiaolan emerged from the light at the same time.

Zhang Ya's school uniform cuffs still had a few unmelted ice shards stuck to them, and her face showed an undisguised excitement.

Xu Xiaolan followed behind her, panting, but her eyes shone with an astonishing light.

"Ya Ya, we actually beat the first two levels!"

Xu Xiaolan grabbed Zhang Ya's arm, her voice trembling with excitement: "We can finally team up and raid dungeons on our own! We don't have to put up with those stinky model students anymore!"

"That's great, that's great!"

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Ya nodded vigorously, even more excited than Xu Xiaolan.

Just now, she got another silver card, adding to the bronze card she got before, making a total of two cards!

The Bronze Dire Wolf card, conservatively estimated, could sell for around 200,000 to 300,000.

The Silver Frostwolf card is worth about ten times more than the Bronze Dire Wolf card, and could easily sell for over 200 million.

Such a windfall was like a bolt from the blue for her, who was still a high school student.

If she sells these two cards, she can buy a large amount of Soul Nourishing Liquid or Soul Crystals for her cultivation.

Before the college entrance examination, she might be able to break through her limits and raise her rank to the second rank, third stage, or even the fourth stage!

However, she suppressed the thought as soon as it briefly crossed her mind.

She immediately thought of her younger brother Zhang Qi and her cousin Zhang Yun.

My younger brother, Zhang Qi, doesn't have a card beast yet, and he can't even hold his head up high at the card-themed elementary school.

My cousin Zhang Yun has average talent. He only awakened the Summoner class in his first year of high school. He needs to contract a powerful card beast in order to catch up with his peers.

They all need cards.

Zhang Ya had already made up her mind to distribute the two cards to the two of them first.

At this moment, Xu Xiaolan suddenly said, "Ya Ya, now that you're capable of clearing dungeons, why don't you stop trying to conquer the Demon Palace?"

"With your skills in clearing dungeons, you'll never be short of money in the future. There's really no need to risk it for that 500 million."

"Please apply to leave the expedition team, I beg you..."

"this..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya was caught in a dilemma.

She went to participate in the campaign against the demon palace, partly out of a desire to protect her country and partly out of a desire to earn 500 million.

After all, with 500 million, she could arrange for her younger brother and cousin Zhang Yun to both receive silver cards.

Now, she has miraculously acquired a gold card, giving her hope of getting into a top-tier university.

As long as she can grow up safely, she may even be able to help her family achieve upward social mobility.

If she insists on going to fight the Demon Palace, it would be fine if she succeeds, but if she fails and dies in the Demon Palace, it would be equivalent to cutting off her family's path to advancement.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Ya made her decision.

"Okay, I'll cancel my registration later."

"You're right... Defending our homeland doesn't have to be rushed. Once I've trained General Naga, there will be plenty of opportunities to defend our country!"

"Yay, that's great!"

Seeing that her best friend had been persuaded by her, Xu Xiaolan was overjoyed.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of two people walking towards the boundary marker.

"Hey, isn't that Zhang Yun, our junior?"

"Ya Ya, you promised to help me pursue your cousin, you really have to keep your word!"

"Ah...when did I ever agree to that?"

"If you go back on your word, I'll bite you to death!"

When Xu Xiaolan saw that her best friend had changed her mind, she was furious and pounced on her, trying to bite her.

"Stop fooling around, haha!"

Zhang Ya laughed and dodged away, turning her head to look towards the doorway.

Sure enough, Zhang Yun was seen walking towards them with a female teacher wearing an office lady suit and thick-rimmed glasses.

She quickly waved and greeted him, "Cousin!"
