Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

"Wait, who is this?"

When seeing a strange face, the security guard habitually asks.

"My distant cousin."

"Distant cousin? When did you have a distant cousin..."

No matter how strange you think.

Before the security guard could react, Jiu Yue had already grabbed Xing Jian and the wild boar and disappeared.

"That girl is becoming more and more willful."

The security guard crossed his arms and sighed softly.

"I hope nothing happens."

In fact, it is not uncommon for strangers to come to the village.

In today's world, the harm caused by humans is ultimately limited.

The main duty of the gatekeeper is to guard against monsters wandering around the village.

The reason why I care is because Xingjian's appearance is too strange.

The security guard had never seen a girl with silver hair and blue eyes in his 40 years of life.

"I'll sell the spoils first, and then I'll treat you to a meal with the money. No problem."

"Yeah, I can still hold on."

Perhaps because his vision was filled with new things around him, Xingjian's hunger was reduced a little.

The human world, human society.

The sky gradually darkened, but outside the neatly arranged wooden buildings, countless lit lights dispelled the impending darkness.

The sounds of pedestrians’ footsteps, children’s laughter, and vendors’ cries are endless.

The unique atmosphere of human civilization, the bustling crowds brush past shoulders, and occasionally eyes fall on the conspicuous-looking Xingjian.

It was a "lively" atmosphere that the ancient dragon, who had lived for thousands of years, had never experienced before.

"Liuli, is little Liuli here? Help me process the material of this wild boar."

Entering the store, there is a semi-open counter, and a petite and cute girl wearing round transparent glasses sticks her head out from it.

"So it's September, leave it to me."

Above the counter is also the shop's sign.

Processing, purchasing, and making cards of inherited materials

Card making?

Xingjian became interested.

Cards, are they the same ones Erica uses in battle?

It turns out that in the human world, cards can be found everywhere.

Then wouldn’t every human being be very good at fighting?

"Master, come and work."

Liuli carried the whole wild boar into the workshop behind the shop. After closing the door, all that could be heard was a ping-pong sound.

“(??????)?Done!” Liuli walked out of the workshop and made a V-sign of victory to Jiuyue.

"Are you planning to keep the materials for yourself or sell them directly?"

"Just sell it. I need money urgently now. Please help me calculate a good price."

"Well, let me see, it's valuable material."

Liuli licked her lips and started calculating on the counter with a pen.

"Wild boar hide, wild boar meat, and the slightly damaged bristles from being dragged. Friendly price, 300 z total. Sell them to me directly, and the labor cost of breaking down the materials will be discounted."

"300z? Liuli, did you leave something out on purpose? Don't try to trick me."

"Hey, honest merchants never do business that cheats people."

The petite Liuli stuck out her tongue and knocked her head, trying to get away with it.

Having said that, Liuli did not mention the most valuable material from the wild boar just now.

"Those fangs are of excellent quality," Liuli added. "If they were made into a card, they might have some nice skills attached to them. They'd be perfect for a solo hunter like you."

"It's a card with good skills. Well, since you said so, Liuli, then..."

"The card-making fee is 150z." Liuli stuck out her tongue playfully and rubbed her thumb and index finger together.

"It's too expensive!"

The whole pig only sold for 300z, and making a card would cost half of that.

September hesitated.

"It can't be helped. Our skills are there. Jiuyue, you know that our family has the best skills in the whole village. If we want to make the best use of the materials, we can't skimp on the money we have to spend."

"I understand the truth..."

The real reason why September hesitated.

The girl glanced at Xingjian who was silently waiting for her.

Jiuyue, who was short of money, had planned to use the spoils of tonight to treat Xingjian to a meal.

The 300z sold by Wild Boar is definitely enough.

As a result, the budget was suddenly cut in half.

150z seems very shabby. With the current prices, two people going to eat rice bowls?

This is really embarrassing.

"Um, on credit..."

"Pfft! We don't take credit."

Liuli made a cross with her arms.

"Well, that's all we can do. Let's sell the fangs too."

Although precious materials are hard to come by, but only tonight, my face is more important.

Of course, if Jiuyue planned to keep the materials alone, Liuli would probably charge him a lot of labor fees for decomposing the materials, which was also not cost-effective.

"Sure. The top-grade fangs will be 200z for you, a total of 500z."

“(＞﹏＜) Well, this is fine too.”

Skill cards crafted from high-quality fangs might include abilities like [Rigidity] or [Charge], practical skills that can save lives in times of crisis. These are truly suitable for September, a solo hunter, as they greatly increase the margin for error.

But on the bright side, I now have a budget of 500z.

Then Jiuyue can take Xingjian to Maoxiang Pavilion, the most popular restaurant in the village, and order two luxurious Yanlong barbecue sets to show her reliable side.

By the way, teach the innocent and beautiful girl who has lost her memory the unspoken rules of human society.

You've spent the money, and it's something that happened at night. If you want to run away, it's not up to you.

Chapter 5: Nails are a super rare material

Silently watching the two people bargaining, Xingjian confirmed one thing again.

Take out your notebook and write it down.

In the human world, money is extremely important. Everyone cares about it.

A small cloth bag was filled with 500z coins. The heavy weight in her hand made September, who was feeling lost just a second ago, instantly healed by the crisp sound of metal coins colliding.

"It's come to this, Xingjian. We must have a good meal tonight!"

"Jiuyue, what are these cards and skills you were talking about?"

"You really don't remember."

He even forgot to pay for his meals, so it was understandable that Xingjian didn't know about cards.

"Ohhhhhh!"

Liuli was busy bargaining with Jiuyue, and it was not until Xingjian spoke that she noticed there was a person standing outside the store. Her round lenses instantly reflected light and shone.

"What a lovely guest. Are you here to visit our Yunxue Village?"

"No." Xingjian said truthfully: "Jiuyue said she would be responsible for me, so I followed her."

Jiuyue quickly covered Xingjian's mouth: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

When the two were alone, Xingjian's unguarded attitude would make Jiuyue's heart beat faster.

Now there is someone who will only cause September to suffer a cardiac arrest.

"That's exactly what happened." Liuli pushed his glasses up with an expression that showed he had expected this.

"I was saying, September, you usually hate men so much, your sexual orientation must be abnormal. Now your true nature has finally been revealed."

"You too, stop talking nonsense. I'll sue your store for defamation! Xingjian just lost her memory and got lost in the wild, and I was just kind enough to bring her back."

"In the wild, lost your memory and lost your way? Max out your buffs." Liuli looked at the silver-haired and blue-eyed Xingjian in front of her curiously.

Such a cute and unique appearance is rarer than high-quality materials, not to mention Yunxue Village, even in the entire snowy mountain area.

He certainly doesn't look like a local.

If Jiuyue hadn't picked it up first, I would have taken Xingjian in without hesitation.

Just being a sign girl at that station would probably attract a lot of business.

"Just think of it as a way to build relationships with potential lovely customers. Let Yunxue Village's most powerful card master explain it to you briefly."

Liuli took out three cards from the counter.

"Although dragons and beasts are collectively referred to as monsters, the current types of cards are further divided into [Dragon Cards] and [Beast Cards]."

"[Dragon Card], crafted using materials from dragons. Cards come with mostly practical attack skills."

Xingjian looked at the cards Liuli displayed on the table.

【Blue Speed ​​Dragon Fang】

[A school of fish monsters that can be found everywhere. Only the sharpest teeth can be used to make cards.]

[Use the card to immediately activate the Blue Speed ​​Dragon's Roar.]

[There is a small probability of a deterrent effect.]

[It is likely to attract the surrounding Blue Speed ​​Dragons, who will attack you in a group.]

【Cheap goods are not good, use with caution.】

To be honest, Xingjian doesn't see where it's practical.

Can this be considered an attack skill?

"Dragon cards are difficult to hunt, and attack-type card skills are the most sought after. Therefore, the price of [Dragon Cards] is relatively higher than that of [Beast Cards]."

Liuli turned over the second card.

"So we usually use [Beast Cards] more."

Cards made from wild animal materials, such as the boar tusks that September just bargained for.

【Blue Bear's Giant Palm】

[A powerful fishing tool for river lords. Of course, it's good for more than just fishing.]
