Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

After hearing Yang Xinxin's introduction, Su Bai thought this girl was pretty good.

How much does a house in the suburbs cost?

"It's much cheaper over there because it's not very convenient to get around."

"It costs about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per square meter."

Upon hearing the price, Su Bai felt it was acceptable.

However, he was unfamiliar with the area and had no idea which place had a better environment.

"Then can you recommend one for me? Just find one with a nice environment."

Distance didn't make much difference to Su Bai, since he wasn't going there to study anyway.

He simply wanted to find a suitable environment to develop his own power.

It would be best if I could learn it, but if I can't, then so be it.

Yang Xinxin didn't take Su Bai's words seriously.

After all, judging from Su Bai's appearance, he really doesn't look like someone planning to buy a house.

But she just thought Su Bai looked handsome and pleasing to the eye.

"Then let me tell you about a few neighborhoods in the suburbs."

After listening to Yang Xinxin's introduction, Su Bai quickly decided on a neighborhood.

Jingxin City.

"Find me a place in Jingxincheng for around 100 yuan a month, preferably one where I can sign the contract today."

"I'm not kidding, you don't need to look at me like that."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xinxin went completely berserk and jumped up.

Wow! Really?

The contract wasn't finalized until around 8 p.m.

Su Bai also saw his new home, which was not bad.

Since it's a second-hand house, the rooms are already renovated, so you can just bring your suitcase and move in.

"Brother Su, may I treat you to a meal?"

Having secured the deal with Su Bai, she would receive a substantial commission, and her long-standing worries were finally resolved.

All of this is thanks to Su Bai, so I plan to treat Su Bai to a meal.

"Wait a moment, I'll tell you about things in Kyoto."

Su Bai hid the things carefully before following Yang Xinxin to a nearby restaurant.

After the two chatted, Su Bai realized that Yang Xinxin was also a student preparing for the college entrance examination.

However, she left earlier than Su Bai because she needed to find a job urgently.

Are you from Kyoto?

"Yes, I live in Kyoto, but I'm not a native of Kyoto."

"My parents are here, but they're just migrant workers."

Yang Xinxin picked up a bottle of beer and poured a glass for Su Bai.

"Brother Su, let me toast you!"

"I must thank you for helping me with my tuition."

Upon hearing Yang Xinxin's words, Su Bai was at a loss for words.

People living in Kyoto can't even afford to go to school.

Is this place good or bad?

The two drank for a long time, and Yang Xinxin, who was tipsy, suddenly grabbed Su Bai's arm.

"Brother, can I stay here with you? I can pay you rent."

"Sure, but aren't you scared?"

Su Bai never imagined that he would become a landlord right after buying his first house in Kyoto.

"I'm scared, but I really have no other choice."

"At least you don't look repulsive to me!"

82. Yang Xinxin's Magic Cards

"You don't dislike it?"

Su Bai felt like these words were a friend-zone rejection.

But he clearly didn't do anything; he just wanted to be a landlord.

After taking a sip of wine, Su Bai looked at this person who had a difficult life but an optimistic personality.

There are many people like this in life; their cheerful personalities make it difficult to immediately discern their emotions.

Don't you like living with your parents?

Su Bai was curious when she heard that her parents were also in Kyoto.

Upon hearing Su Bai's question, Yang Xinxin gave a wry smile.

Poverty-stricken couples face endless sorrows; her parents fought all the time, it had been like that since she was little.

Now that she's grown up, all she wants is a little space of her own.

"However, could you postpone the rent for now?"

"I'm not saying I'm going to renege on the debt, it's just that your commission is barely enough to cover the tuition."

Su Bai originally intended to refuse, since he wasn't there to do charity work.

But then I thought, having more friends means having more options, and I could cultivate her into my own power base in the future.

That's his purpose in coming to Kyoto, so it doesn't seem contradictory from this perspective.

"What are your magic cards?"

"It's not convenient here, let's wait until we get back!"

She had no reason to refuse to answer Su Bai's questions.

However, it's best to avoid this kind of situation, since she doesn't want to reveal her personal information.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two returned to Jingxin City.

On the living room sofa.

Su Bai took out a drink he had just bought from the convenience store downstairs from his pocket and handed one to Yang Xinxin.

"You live in that little house, I'll live in the big house."

"The supermarket will deliver the bedding in a bit, you can sign for this first."

Yang Xinxin frowned as she looked at what Su Bai handed her.

House rental contract.

How much distrust does that show her?

"What are you looking at? Sign it now, or I'll send you away immediately, a thousand miles away."

"Money? Anyway, I don't have any money."

Picking up the pen, Yang Xinxin wrote her name on it without hesitation.

The contract was made in duplicate; Su Bai kept one copy, and gave the other to Yang Xinxin.

"See this? With this thing, I can brag to people now that I'm the landlord!"

Yang Xinxin swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

After all that, getting her to sign the contract was just a way for him to brag?

[Depressing Energy +13]

They haven't even officially become roommates yet, and it's already starting to cause me depression.

Su Bai felt sorry for this person and hoped that she would find someone to love in the future.

Anyway, he'll definitely reap the rewards and won't let go easily.

"Oh right, I asked you about the magic card earlier, but you haven't told me yet."

"Wang Bang!"

With a snap.

Yang Xinxin threw five magic cards onto the coffee table.

The five magic cards were a royal flush; Su Bai could already sense what was going on even before he saw them.

I took one look and that's it. Damn, that's brilliant.

All five magic cards are King and Queen, but all of them belong to the Demon race.

It closely resembles the image on playing cards, belonging to the Joker type.

However, the combination of five large and two small cards is indeed somewhat difficult to understand.

"You really enjoy playing poker?"

"Pah!" Upon hearing Su Bai's words, Yang Xinxin couldn't help but spit out the words.

She always felt that these words didn't sound nice.

"How can you talk like that? I'm not that kind of person."

Su Bai couldn't help but nod. Why did this person's behavior today make him seem more like he was acting like a complete idiot?
