Shen Yan was the first to bite.

Lu Qingning sneered repeatedly, ignoring the idiot who was spouting nonsense, and looked at Director Zhang of the club, "He has admitted defeat, and according to the agreement, that card is ours."

"Bullshit! I was stopping the match!"

"You think you can just stop it like that? If you can't handle the ripple effects of the Spirit Card battle, that's your own problem!"

"That kid is clearly after me!"

The two argued incessantly, clearly intending to fight.

Shen Yan used that silver card to fish for money; how could he possibly hand it over so easily? He didn't even improve his mental strength and lost a card; how was he supposed to face the card master community after that?

The more shameless a person is, the more they care about their reputation.

Behind Lu Qingning, Zhou Chen, who had treated her injuries and changed into a new T-shirt, felt exceptionally at peace.

My card is broken, and the opponent's card is broken too, so I'm only losing 50% now.

The main paralyzing spores cannot leave any wounds on the opponent's body.

Pity.

But is Shen Yan Lu Qingning's cousin? No wonder they don't look alike at all.

"Little cousin, what are you doing buying this card?" Hua Ning's gentle voice came from behind. "This is a very rare card, you don't see it often around Yuzhou."

Zhou Chen turned his head and, facing her curious gaze, casually said, "It was a gift from someone else."

"A gift? Someone actually gives you this kind of card?" Hua Ning blinked.

Zhou Chen: "Yeah, I used to buy materials for gambling cards from Yunnan. After buying a lot and getting to know them better, they gave me one for half price, which I thought was a good deal, so I bought it."

"how much is it?"

"Twenty thousand yuan."

"..."

Hua Ning suddenly stopped talking.

Zhou Chen looked at her and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Hua? Isn't it a good deal to buy a card for 20,000 yuan?"

"Well, 20,000 yuan... it's not a loss," Hua Ning said with difficulty.

The loss wasn't too great.

She had just checked the price of the Black Globe Monster. Private sellers were offering 8,500 yuan for a one-star specimen, while many online card shops refused to stock it because of low profits and difficulty in selling it.

Did you think you were finding a bargain but actually fell into a trap?

Hua Ning looked on with pity; this kind of situation is quite common in the world of card masters.

Ahead of them, Lu Qingning and Shen Yan were still arguing, but the final decision-making power rested with Director Zhang in the middle.

Although the other party was a member of the club, she also possessed a referee certificate issued by the Card Masters Association, which is why Shen Yan entrusted her to draft the contract.

Director Zhang looked at the two people in front of him and really didn't want to offend either of them.

They're arguing a lot right now, but it's all just the younger generation playing around. If the adults step in and make them shake hands and make up, wouldn't she be in a bind?

The only option now is to stall!

Anyway, similar contract disputes are common, and it's the Shen family who loses face, not her.

Seeing that Director Zhang didn't speak, Hua Ning frowned, about to say something, when suddenly a voice came from outside.

"Sorry to bother you."

A woman with a bewitching face stood outside the door.

Her appearance caused Lu Qingning and Shen Yan's expressions to quickly turn ugly; the former was annoyed, and the latter was fearful.

The woman smiled gently and said, "I apologize for disturbing you all. I will handle this family matter."

Chapter 15: Large Transfer (Please read on!!)

"Secretary Gu!"

Upon seeing the woman, Director Zhang immediately stood up, smiling, and said, "I'm so sorry for the neglect, please have a seat!"

"Director Zhang, you're too kind."

The woman sat down in the main seat, speaking politely, but in reality, her every move was extremely arrogant, and she didn't take anyone seriously at all.

Director Zhang's kind face now held a hint of obsequiousness. "What instructions does Chief Shen have?"

Gu Man said casually, "Chief Shen doesn't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters. Let's do it according to the association's rules."

What are the association's rules?

That means Shen Yan is defeated, and the silver card belongs to Lu Qingning.

However, before the losing side could even voice its opinion, the winning side exploded.

She abruptly stood up, as if she hadn't heard Gu Man's words, and called to Zhou Chen behind her, "Let's go!!"

The silver card is clearly no longer needed.

Hua Ning stopped her, "Don't rush off, Ningning, take the card."

Lu Qingning bit her lower lip lightly, "Sister Hua, I..."

"It's okay, I'm convinced you'll win. After all, I'm a member of the Maple City Association, and I've also passed the referee certification exam."

Hua Ning glanced at Gu Man, who was sitting in the main seat, and said to Director Zhang, "Since you can't make a ruling, let me do it."

Director Zhang hesitated, "This..."

"Since the Hua family's friends have spoken up, we definitely have to give them face."

Gu Man said with a smile, completely unconcerned about Lu Qingning's attitude, as if she had seen a kitten baring its teeth and claws: "Qingning can leave if she wants to. Shen Yan, stay. I have something I want to ask you."

Zhou Chen silently ate the melon seeds, and could sense that Director Zhang followed Gu Man's lead.

So she's Lu Qingning's father's secretary? And Lu Qingning's father is the so-called Chief Shen?

Hua Ning's background seems quite impressive as well.

The Hua family?

It must be a fairly large family of card masters.

There are many similar card master families in the various Xia states. They control a lot of resources, join the card master association and hold the top power, but they have not been able to completely solidify the social class system.

The main secret realm is too unpredictable.

The strength of monsters is not proportional to the size of the dungeon; large dungeons may have weak monsters, while small dungeons may not be without terrifying creatures.

In the past, many card masters who were overconfident in their abilities rashly ventured into small secret realms, only to never return.

Cases of powerful monsters breaking out of small secret realms and causing widespread destruction are not uncommon.

Even though similar situations mostly occur outside of the Eastern Continent where the Xia people reside, such as the Ga Continent and the Wo Continent. The former is often plagued by warlord conflicts among card masters, while the latter is mostly occupied by monsters.

As for the Hundred Kingdoms Sea and the Endless Sea, which are far from land, there is very little information about them online.

In the land of Zhuxia, large and small card master families occupy a lot of resources and work together to protect the land beneath their feet, providing a peaceful and stable life for ordinary card masters and common people.

Lu Qingning eventually took the card.

Ever since Gu Man appeared, Shen Yan hadn't dared to say a word. Now, he looked as if he had lost his parents, his face ashen and he remained silent.

Two people who were originally at odds stopped paying attention to each other after the appearance of a third party, as if nothing had happened.

Not long after leaving the room, Lu Qingning stopped.

She stepped forward with concern to examine Zhou Chen's ear, "Does your ear still hurt? Shall we go to the hospital for another checkup?"

"Actually, it's nothing... it's fine."

Zhou Chen had previously been examined by the club's doctor, who confirmed that his eardrum was not ruptured, but only that some capillaries had broken.

However, Lu Qingning felt that this examination was not comprehensive enough and that she should go to the hospital for a more detailed examination.

After calling a car, she couldn't help but show concern, and said softly with a face full of apology, "I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this. I should have known better than to be greedy."

Lu Qingning never expected Shen Yan to be so wicked. Didn't he consider the consequences before doing such a thing?

There must be someone from the Shen family in the stands, otherwise that woman wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

hateful!

How awful!

Lu Qingning was so angry that she pounded on the Monstera deliciosa bonsai by the door.

Hua Ning laughed and said, "Don't be angry so soon, Ningning. You are the final winners. Aren't you going to share the spoils?"

Oh right!

Lu Qingning quickly pulled out a card and stuffed it into Zhou Chen's hand. "Here you go! Consider it compensation from Shen Yan for your medical expenses! Anyway, we won this time because of you."

"—Half for each of us."

Zhou Chen refused, saying seriously, "Getting injured is a different matter. I'll take the lead and you take the lead in attacking, and we'll win together."

He paused, then said, "Even between brothers, accounts must be settled clearly!"

Lu Qingning tried to dissuade him, but Zhou Chen's attitude was exceptionally firm, even somewhat unquestionable.

She could only mutter, "Fine, then it'll be in half, card—"

"It's yours, but I want the money."

Zhou Chen didn't even care what kind of card it was; he was determined to get the money.

Lu Qingning was a little speechless at his antics, and said in resignation, "Fine, fine, here's the money."

Hua Ning was laughing so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

The division of spoils is complete.

Zhou Chen inexplicably felt much more comfortable in his chest, and his senses were clear as if he had eaten a mint.

Huh? Your mental strength has increased?

It turns out that Shen Yan's method really works!

Zhou Chen wanted to see if his consumption points had increased, but considering that this was not a safe place, he gave up for the time being.

The car that Lu Qingning called arrived quickly.

The two got into the back seat and waved goodbye to Hua Ning. "Sister Hua, don't forget our promise!"

"No, you should go quickly and go home early." Hua Ning gave these words of advice like an elder before watching the car drive away.

Just as she was about to return to the club to settle scores with Shen Yan, another car pulled up, the window rolled down, revealing Gu Man's face. "The youngest daughter of the Hua family's Flower King, I never expected to see you in this small place."

“I was also surprised that such a small club could welcome a senior card master.”

Hua Ning didn't even look at her, and said casually, "I saw you in the newspaper when I was a child. I never thought that the genius of that time would become someone else's secretary. Hehe."

"It's my honor to be the chief's secretary." Gu Man's smile remained unchanged. "As for that new secret realm in Dianzhou, the family strategy will be changed soon. I hope your Hua family can conquer it."

"No need for you to trouble yourself."

Hua Ning turned and left.

The rear window also rose, and the restarted vehicle drove out.

Whether it was just their imagination or not, they seemed to hear a faint sobbing sound coming from the trunk, but no one paid any attention.

-

Zhou Chen got home in the evening.

They not only went to the hospital, but also found a place to repair the spirit card.

After a systematic examination, it was found that there was nothing wrong with his ears. His game panel level did not increase, but his experience bar increased to about 90%.

Keep in mind, he only reached Lv.6 yesterday!

congratulations.
