Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

So Su Bai turned around and went into a nearby hot pot restaurant, where he ordered a lot of dishes and ate very comfortably.

Whoever says eating hot pot alone is lonely, they just don't understand good food.

Looking at the time, it was already past 1 a.m., so Su Bai took a taxi home.

He fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed. He had experienced so much today and was almost exhausted.

As for the increase, let's talk about it tomorrow.

When he woke up, he realized that he seemed to have overslept.

I glanced at the time; it was still early, only 9:30.

He took a taxi to the school, but by then there wasn't a single student to be seen outside.

Su Bai walked straight towards the school's auditorium, where results were usually announced.

That place is large enough to accommodate all the senior students.

When Su Bai went inside, the room was already full of people listening to the school leaders speak.

As soon as he entered, he saw Zhan Xinxue staring at him from the doorway.

"Is this a part-time job?"

How much does a doorman earn per day?

Zhan Xinxue: ? ? ?

"you……"

"I will endure!"

Seeing Su Bai's irritating appearance, without any sign of weakness, she felt that her guess was correct.

Su Bai simply didn't have the money to buy those banned drugs; he even had trouble getting food.

However, the more she felt this way, the more ashamed she became.

Despite having such excellent resources and working tirelessly to cultivate, she still couldn't compare to these geniuses; in the end, her efforts were wasted.

"Hehe, so you're working part-time, huh? You must be tired."

Seeing that she didn't dare to resist his provocation, Su Bai thought it must be a task assigned to her by the school.

With such a beautiful woman as a doorman, who would want to leave easily?

Even though the school leaders' speeches were so captivating that everyone was completely mesmerized, Su Bai still felt that with Zhan Xinxue's charm alone, no one would want to leave.

Su Bai had to admit that the school leaders had finally shown some ingenuity this time.

"I'm going to check my grades first, you can continue!"

"return!"

After taking only a few steps, Su Bai heard Zhan Xinxue's slightly angry voice.

"what happened?"

"The results haven't come out yet; the leader is giving a speech."

The thought of Su Bai's strength made Zhan Xinxue feel inferior.

"Oh, right, I'll treat you to dinner later."

Zhan Xinxue treated Su Bai to a meal last time, and Su Bai is treating her in return, so they are even now.

He doesn't like owing people anything.

"Oh, is this alright?"

Which woman doesn't dream of love? They just haven't met their ideal man yet.

"Yes, I got some money yesterday, which is just enough to treat you."

Su Bai felt that yesterday's compensation was legitimate, but it could be used to improve their lives.

After all, it wouldn't be appropriate to continue being so stingy.

"So you really held out against Patriarch Chen for twenty minutes?"

"Hey, watch your words, use more precise language."

Su Bai was a little unhappy. How did he manage to hold on?

He managed to escape, okay?

Otherwise, how could we have seen the sun today?

"He's not very capable; he's just good at intimidating people."

"Do you dare to be any more arrogant?"

Su Bai smiled smugly; he didn't dare.

However, he had already considered what happened yesterday, and he was certain that he would not join any family.

After all, if his identity as an amplifier is exposed, he could easily be targeted and killed if he cannot remain neutral.

This situation cannot be ignored; in fact, it must be taken seriously.

If it were just low-end magic cards, Su Bai believed he wouldn't make those big shots lose face.

But what if it's a high-level magic card?

So Su Bai added a restriction to the shop's advertising slogan.

Only Platinum-level and below Magic Cards can be amplified.

Even if a magic card of this strength is incredibly powerful, it won't affect anything important, and those people won't even care.

As long as he can accumulate enough money for materials, his path to advancement shouldn't be too difficult.

Once Su Bai gets to university, his world will definitely be even more different.

Currently, it can only be located in Shimizu City, which is still too small.

Many things are unavailable, or rather, there are limited channels to buy them.

He often heard people say that Kyoto and Shanghai had black markets, where people who had returned from other dimensions were likely to find good deals.

Unfortunately, there is no such place in Shimizu City.

Otherwise, he really should go and see for himself; he'd probably broaden his horizons.

"Your aunt has a great figure, doesn't she? Does she have a lot of suitors?"

"Too many? Who dares?"

Hong Yuan is known as the widow among the law enforcement officers of Qingshui City. Her reputation is so widespread that even if someone were tempted, they wouldn't dare to act on it.

However, it must be admitted that Hongyuan's appearance is truly remarkable.

Even she admired her aunt; sometimes she felt inferior to her.

"No wonder that cold wind didn't dare to move. Was he beaten up?"

"I don't know, but my aunt seems to treat him differently. I wonder what happened between them."

Zhan Xinxue had occasionally heard her aunt mention Leng Feng, but she knew nothing about the specifics.

"I think this person is nice, and I feel like I can help him."

"How can I help? Can I come along?" Hearing this, Zhan Xinxue perked up.

"Want to help him give up?"

"Hehe!" Upon hearing this, Zhan Xinxue realized that Su Bai's motives were definitely not pure.

Could this person have some daring idea about her aunt?

But she was also somewhat looking forward to it, wanting to see how the two would get along; it should be quite interesting, right?

"I can help you make a reservation; we can have dinner together later, okay?"

"Ahem, well, the scores are out."

Su Bai turned and walked towards the score announcement point.

What is the significance of Chapter 35, Part 1?

35. What is the significance of being number one?

There was a huge crowd in front of the score announcement point.

However, everyone looked up at the electronic screen, searching for their names.

Su Bai moved closer and then he could see the name on it clearly.

How did your exam go?

Zhan Xinxue's voice came from behind, but Su Bai did not turn around.

"Tenth place, you've made it onto the list of award recipients."

"Unlike you, who is so strong, you're in first place again this time. Bai Jingjing is in second place."

Hearing Su Bai's praise, Zhan Xinxue was surprisingly not happy at all; instead, she felt as if she had been mocked.

This person is clearly so strong, yet he almost made it into tenth place. What's the point of me being number one?

I was filled with emotion, but the person in front of me didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

Little did they know that Su Bai also wanted to take first place, but he couldn't reveal his trump card, or the consequences would be too great.

He's not capable of guaranteeing his own safety right now; surviving is the best course of action.

Moreover, he found out that the person he met last time was Zhan Xinxue herself.

Bai Jingjing told him personally that Zhan Xinxue's Glory account name was "Exquisite Little Snowman".

At first, Su Bai thought his name meant he liked ice cream, but later he realized it was actually a bonus from his ice-type talent.

That's why Su Bai would never reveal his trump card; he'd wait until he went to university, far from the reach of the emperor.

Even if Zhan Xinxue found out, she couldn't do anything to him.
