“Oh… my… god…”
Xiao Lian and the other two were dumbfounded by the card's impressive effect. Was a First Order terrain card really that powerful? And why was the rain getting heavier? What was the principle behind this?!
Watching the Magma Giant rage helplessly in the heavy rain, Xiao Kui whispered, “Xiao Guo, what exactly did you tell the boss? This card’s effect is a bit too good…”
“Huh?” The usually calm Xiao Guo was also somewhat shocked at this moment. When Xiao Lian asked her, she answered truthfully, “I said I wanted to customize a rain card, and then the boss asked me what kind of rain I wanted, so I chose a Thunderstorm Technique. Then the boss asked if I wanted lightning, and I said yes, and that was it.”
The tall boy next to her also had shock in his eyes, but he quickly reacted and said to Xiao Guo, “Now’s your chance, Xiao Guo, hurry up! We can chat later!”
As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, “With such heavy rain, I don’t think we’ll need to help, do we?”
Hearing this, Xiao Guo blinked, then nodded with a smile, “Mm!”
Then she faced the Magma Giant in the rain, watching as it tried to release its “Magma Spray” skill to disperse the rain clouds. However, what spewed out was not liquid magma, but several stones that had already been cooled by the water, falling powerlessly to the ground after flying a few meters.
Xiao Guo gripped her staff, her eyes fixed on the Magma Giant, and quickly chanted, “Spirit of Water, heed my command, condense into a sharp blade, break the unseen enemy!”
As she cast her spell, a Cham blue magic circle appeared. Her S-rank talent, “Water Specialization,” activated simultaneously, drawing in surrounding water elements to form a giant water blade several times larger than an ordinary water blade. High-speed currents surged within it, like a massive electric saw!
“Go!”
The giant water blade was incredibly fast, arriving in an instant and rapidly cutting through the Magma Giant’s cooled outer shell. The Magma Giant let out a painful and aggrieved roar!
If not for this Thunderstorm Technique terrain card, she wouldn’t even be able to cut through the Magma Giant’s outer shell; the effect of her water magic would be halved!
As the first water blade disappeared, a large gash was cut into the Magma Giant from its left shoulder to its right hip. Xiao Guo didn’t waste the opportunity, immediately following up with two more water blades, directly slicing the Magma Giant into two sections!
With the Magma Giant's death, a Second Order Early Stage crystal core fell to the ground. Xiao Guo's aura also trembled slightly, and a Second Order aura emanated from her, proving that she had passed the promotion trial and successfully advanced to a Second Order Mage.
Meanwhile, the onlookers peering in from outside were also dumbfounded, not only shocked by the card's effect but also by Xiao Guo's strength.
They had never imagined that the seemingly naive and easily fooled girl they usually saw would possess such extraordinary strength in battle.
······
Inside the Super Martial Card Shop, Lu Chenxing had already completed his afternoon card-making tasks and was currently reading some books about elemental introductions, planning to go out for dinner when it was time and also purchase some First Order crystal cores.
Just as he was engrossed in his reading, he heard several rapid footsteps approaching. He immediately looked up and saw that the girl who had bought the Thunderstorm Technique was running towards the Card Shop with a few other people, and a group of people were following far behind them.
Seeing the excited expression on the girl in white's face, it probably wasn't because the card effect was bad and she was coming to find him, so Lu Chenxing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
When they got closer, Lu Chenxing greeted her with a smile, “Why are you here again? Are you planning to bring friends to patronize my business?”
“Yes, yes!” Xiao Guo nodded repeatedly, “Boss, your card effects are especially good, so they also want to customize some cards!”
As she spoke, Xiao Guo briefly explained her experience using it, her face still visibly excited!
“Alright, you’re the customer, as long as you’re satisfied!” Lu Chenxing said with a chuckle. He hadn’t even realized that the ice element he left behind would have such an effect.
As he spoke, Lu Chenxing took out his notebook and asked, “Who goes first? Tell me your requirements.”
“Me first, me first…”
The people who had been following from a distance saw this scene and couldn't help but start chatting.
“What are they doing over there? Super Martial Card Shop, they couldn’t have bought it here, could they?”
“Impossible. When I passed by a few days ago, this shop wasn’t even open. The inside looked very dusty, like no one was there.”
“I know about this. This shop was originally a husband-and-wife shop opened by Professor Lu and Professor Mu from our school. Later, I heard they went missing, right? Who’s running this shop now?”
“I don’t know. Oh, I say, what are you guys guessing for? Why don’t we just go over and see? We’re not criminals, what are we doing being so sneaky?!”
“Yeah, you’re right. So why are we being sneaky?”
“I don’t know…”
A moment later, Lu Chenxing watched a group of people from a distance walk towards the Card Shop. They arrived in front of the shop and peered inside. Someone saw the sign at the entrance and asked, “Boss, how much does it cost to customize a First Order terrain card here?”
“Two thousand for one elemental effect. No deception, fair price,” Lu Chenxing replied casually while recording the requests of the customer in front of him.
“Then, boss, how do you charge for functional cards?”
“Two thousand for one auxiliary effect. No deception, fair price,” Lu Chenxing said again, then thought for a moment and added, “But they are all First Order magic, with limited effects. Think carefully before you buy.”
Limited effect? I don't think so! Boss, your terrain cards seem much more useful than those outside. Not to mention, customizing a First Order terrain card outside costs ten thousand, and the effect is nowhere near as strong as yours!
Moreover, judging from the effects on the terrain card, the effects of these functional cards should not be bad either, so someone immediately expressed their need!
“Boss, I’ll take one!”
“I’ll take one too!”
Even if they buy this kind of item and don't use it immediately, they should still buy one as a trump card. Anyway, it's not expensive; buying it is a profit!
Just like that, it wasn't until night had completely fallen that Lu Chenxing sent off the last customer and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Over three hundred customized cards meant he would be busy for the next few days.
However, he also earned quite a lot. An average of four thousand yuan per card means 1.2 million yuan!
Looking at the money in his card, Lu Chenxing couldn't help but curve his lips into a huge smile. He now had the resources to upgrade to Second Order!
Afterwards, Lu Chenxing locked the Card Shop door and went out to find a restaurant for dinner.
And after Lu Chenxing walked out of the school gate, in a small alley diagonally opposite, a person watched him with cold eyes, eyes that looked as if they were looking at a dead man.
In the alley, a yellow-haired corpse lay there, eyes wide open, seemingly in disbelief. A large hole was torn open in his chest, and his shattered heart was casually tossed aside.
