Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

As a homebody, this has been his hobby in his spare time for many years, and this has brought him back to his most primitive state.

Suddenly, I felt like there was no hope in my life, and the dull and meaningless moments vanished.

"Hmph, I've had enough of your threats! I'd rather die a glorious death than live a shameful life!"

"Then I can withdraw my magic."

They use items here, but without magical protection, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire will burn everything to ashes.

Su Bai held the hard drive in his hand and looked at Cao Zhen. This leverage was indeed somewhat useful.

"No, I was wrong. From now on, you'll be my older brother."

There's still a chance to get it back if it's in Su Bai's hands, but if it's destroyed, it's gone forever.

At this point, Su Bai stopped joking and began to examine the object seriously.

He discovered that the star chart had other uses, which he had just discovered by chance.

"The star map can be used for trading, why didn't you tell me?"

"Hehe, I thought no one would be willing to trade now." Cao Zhen barely dared to breathe loudly.

After all, he hadn't told Su Bai that as owners of the Star Map, they could trade it at the Star Map Trading Center.

But that was before Su Bai appeared, when everyone was on the same starting line and there wasn't much competition.

Now that everyone has tacitly agreed to be enemies, who would offer anything to strengthen the enemy?

But when he opened the trading hall, he was completely dumbfounded.

There are many things being traded and many things being sought after inside.

However, most of these things were bartered, unlike before when money could also be traded. Now there is no money transaction.

“That’s true. If we don’t trade, then we won’t be able to improve our strength. We might as well give it a shot in our talent.”

"What do you mean 'also'?" Su Bai looked at this guy helplessly.

"I'm sorry too, brother." Cao Zhen said helplessly; he really hadn't expected this.

"I'll buy you whatever you need."

"That, and that, and..."

Cao Zhen broke out in a cold sweat instantly; he felt like he had just sold himself out.

However, upon seeing the final result, he realized that the items Su Bai had chosen were all very cheap, and at least they were things he already owned.

It seems that Su Bai still cares about him, and that he misunderstood him before.

But when he finished paying and looked at the materials in his storage space, he realized a problem.

This isn't saving him money, this is a precision strike!

This guy has already calculated everything he needs; no wonder there's nothing he can't buy.

As for the remaining Su Bai, he didn't touch it because there was nothing else to replace it with.

"I used to think that there was a limit to how shameless a person could be, but I was wrong."

He gleaned more profound life lessons in just a few days in this place than he had in all those years at the Magic Card Master Association.

This guy is a real life mentor, this is so exciting.

"Some people have already started fighting, and it's estimated that the first person to possess two parts of the star map will emerge soon."

Cao Zhen, who was initially annoyed, suddenly saw the flashing lights and realized that some of the star map owners had already begun to compete for it.

The two people are almost overlapping, which happens frequently, but whenever a bright light flashes, it means a major battle has begun.

"Don't worry, nobody's as dim-witted as you. You're probably just putting on an act for everyone."

"Let's have a fight too."

At this moment, the world located by the star map shone brightly once again.

Within the alliance, a small figure gazed at the twinkling lights on the star map, a look of surprise in their eyes.

She discovered that the person she was looking for seemed to have found her location and was currently hiding in a very quiet place, enjoying life.

"Miss Wei, it's time to eat."

Wei Xiaoxue stood up and looked at the butler who had come here. "I'm going out now. Please explain this to the elders for me."

Being blind to what's right under your nose is the easiest mistake to make. Wei Xiaoxue has lived in this place for so many years and no one has discovered his identity as the owner of the star map. He also hid a lot when he was facing Su Bai.

However, she had learned most of what she wanted to know, and she was genuinely very interested in Su Bai.

"That's a good thing, you've finally come to your senses."

Wei Xiaoxue had been locking herself in her house because of what had happened before, but now she's finally willing to come out.

"Yeah, I want to go out for a walk to clear my head."

After Wei Xiaoxue came out of Alliance Zero Space, she looked in the direction where Su Bai was.

A gust of autumn wind swept up the fallen leaves, and Wei Xiaoxue's figure disappeared along with them.

"Ahem, another cold winter is coming, it's time for you to grow up a bit."

An elderly man, who looked frail and old, turned and went back inside the gate, leaning on his cane, followed by a somber voice.

"Winter is coming, I'll see where you insects hide."

Chapter 419 That's just a hobby of yours

In hell.

Su Bai waved his hand, and a huge beam of light shot out.

Energy was still gathering in his palms, clearly this was just the beginning.

Cao Zhen was right opposite him, and he wasn't flustered at all.

The enormous beam of light wasn't aimed at him at all, but instead struck the ground near him.

Cao Zhen wasn't idle either. He activated his energy tentacles, transforming them into a magical Gatling gun, and fired wildly at a distance of 100 meters in front of Su Bai.

It has to be said that this fight looked incredibly fake, but the actual battle couldn't be shown on the star map; only marked points were visible.

At first, some people might think this little trick is fake.

But when the second one appeared, people began to believe that some people had actually started taking action.

Then Su Bai saw that people were indeed moving towards the location marked by the star.

They didn't participate in this struggle, but they contributed their share.

After fighting for a while, Su Bai waved his hand, signaling Cao Zhen that they didn't need to continue.

The two of them huddled together to examine the star map.

The number of people facing the enemy has increased significantly.

"So, let's just sit here and wait for them to fight amongst themselves. We'll just take what's already there."

After seeing that some people had already disappeared from the star map, Su Bai calmly said to Cao Zhen.

At this point, there's nothing they can do but watch others struggle.

"I don't care much about that. I'm just worried that you'll take me away as if I were already there."

After spending a few days with Su Bai, Cao Zhen suddenly understood many truths.

People like Su Bai will always be the most enviable in this world.

Because they don't have many concerns, their talent is so great that everyone envies them.

When he saw Su Bai, he had already given up on competing for the star map. This star map was destined to be obtained by only one person, and everyone else was just a stepping stone for that person.

He was quite self-aware; compared to Su Bai, he felt he was far inferior.

However, following Su Bai can teach you a lot and bring you many benefits that others cannot experience.

One day, he will voluntarily give up this star map and stay by Su Bai's side as a friend, which is much better than being a hidden enemy like this now.

"However, I have never had any other special skills since I was a child, except that I am very adaptable."

Seeing that Su Bai was about to speak, Cao Zhen spoke first.

This time, he no longer needs to worry about anything else; all he needs to do is know how to survive.

No matter how strong he was, Cao Zhen would always take the safest approach when faced with a situation he judged to be hopeless.

He never took any radical actions, which allowed him to live longer.

"I actually think your life isn't bad, it's just that you lack the carefree attitude that life should have."

"They could have strived for a better life, but they gave it up for a stable one."

After meeting Cao Zhen, Su Bai already understood what kind of person he was.

He looks like a very powerful person, but his actions are completely different.

Such people don't like fighting and killing; instead, they prefer to sit behind the scenes, doing operations and using their brains.

It should be known that strategists generally do not have a good ending; if they are not strong enough, they will eventually be ostracized.

"Actually, my living environment since childhood has made me do this. There is no other way. Living a low-key life can keep me feeling safe."

As he spoke, Cao Zhen took out his computer, operated it for a bit, and handed it to Su Bai.

When Su Bai saw the computer, he was stunned. This was completely different from the previous one.

Upon seeing the items above, Su Bai realized just how adept the person in front of him was at hiding things.

A series of lengthy analyses appeared before Su Bai's eyes, all marked with a "cz" symbol, clearly indicating that they were the results of Cao Zhen's own research.
