Wei Zicheng looked at the identical plain white cards in his hand with a sour expression.
“Ugh,” Qiu Meixin sighed, shaking the ten common cards in her hand. “In a gacha game I play outside, I always hit the pity counter to get the rarest cards. Why am I still so unlucky in this game instance? And there’s no pity system for drawing cards here. I think I’m doomed.”
The remaining new students also drew only common white cards.
“Wow!” Wang Zhizhen suddenly cheered, holding up a blue card. “I drew a rare card!”
A rare card!
All the students looked enviously at the blue card in Wang Zhizhen’s hand.
“Those annoying lucky people are really everywhere,” Qiu Meixin’s expression grew even more melancholic.
Ah, ah, ah, I hate it most when people rub their luck in your face!
“Congratulations,” Cheng Yushu said with a smile, congratulating Wang Zhizhen.
To draw a rare card from a starter card pack, Wang Zhizhen’s initial luck must be quite high.
After a while of excitement, Wang Zhizhen carefully placed the rare card into her card drawer.
Everyone’s card drawer was bound to them; unless they lost a battle to someone else, no one could forcibly take a card from another person’s card drawer.
Now, only Wen Xiangjie had not opened the card pack in her hand.
“Goddess, aren’t you opening your card pack?” Wang Zhizhen asked curiously.
“I’ve calculated with my fingers, and my luck isn’t very good right now, so I won’t open it yet,” Wen Xiangjie said, feigning profoundness.
Her current luck value was only 6, not high. She didn’t need cards for battle right now anyway. It would be more beneficial to open the card pack after completing a few tasks from the Scholar System when her luck value was higher.
“You can even calculate that? No wonder you scored so high in the College Entrance Exam Instance! Is that your hidden special skill?!” Wei Zicheng looked serious.
Wen Xiangjie: …
“The most important thing for you right now is to uninstall the anime software on your communicator,” Wen Xiangjie said to Wei Zicheng with a fake smile.
“It seems everyone has finished drawing cards. If you’re not satisfied with the cards you’ve drawn, you can choose to recycle them for coins,” Helena said with a smile.
Wang Zhizhen chose to recycle all the remaining common cards in her hand. The white cards turned into white light and disappeared from Wang Zhizhen’s hand.
“A common card is only worth 10 yuan, that’s too cheap,” Wang Zhizhen complained.
“I wonder how much a low-grade card pack costs. We can go check it out in the Commercial Street later,” Cheng Yushu said.
“Is there a way to get cards without drawing them? Waiting online, it’s urgent,” Qiu Meixin sighed deeply.
“Alright, students, today’s introduction ends here. The remaining time is for you to explore on your own. Starting tomorrow, classes will officially begin, so students, please pay attention to your class schedules and don’t miss class.”
“As long as you complete your class hours on time every day, the school will reward everyone with a card pack every day. You are now dismissed.”
After speaking, Helena turned and left.
This meant the novice guidance tutorial was completely over, and the Card Master Cultivation Diary game instance officially began from this moment.
【Ding! Congratulations on successfully completing the Scholar Task ‘Listen carefully to Counselor Helena’s introduction’. Reward: Luck Value +1.】
【Your current Luck Value is 7 points.】
“Goddess, I’m going to explore other places first,” Wang Zhizhen waved to Wen Xiangjie.
This game instance was a ranking match, a solo battle. Even though Wang Zhizhen liked Wen Xiangjie very much, and they might go to the same place, she wouldn't pester Wen Xiangjie asking if she wanted to go together.
This was disrespectful to Wen Xiangjie and irresponsible to herself.
“Okay, see you around,” Wen Xiangjie also waved back at Wang Zhizhen.
She opened the map and chose to go to the Daoguan District first.
The school, the Daoguan District, and the Commercial Street were the only three safe zones. Given her current defenseless state, Wen Xiangjie decided to only explore these three areas today.
The Daoguan District, in a sense, was also a type of teaching system institution. Wen Xiangjie felt that the Daoguan District should also have a plotline similar to the school that could yield legendary cards.
Clicking on the Daoguan District icon on the map, Wen Xiangjie’s avatar moved from the school to the Daoguan District on the map.
The map page disappeared, and Wen Xiangjie’s surroundings had already changed to the Daoguan District.
She was currently standing under a large archway with a plaque that read 【Friends Through Martial Arts】. Walking through the archway, Wen Xiangjie saw various uniquely shaped Daoguan buildings. Some Daoguan had plaques with their names above the entrance, while others had large stones carved with their names standing at the entrance.
Peak Card Domain Arena, Divine Draw Hall, Exquisite Card Archway, Passionate Card Battle, Loyalty Card…
Wen Xiangjie walked into the nearest Daoguan named Peak Card Domain Arena, and a person dressed in a black Daoguan uniform came to greet her.
【Cheng Di: Peak Card Domain Arena ordinary disciple. Affection towards you: 30 (Stranger).】
This game instance even had an affection system; as expected of a cultivation game, it was very comprehensive.
“Hello, may I ask who you are looking for at our Peak Card Domain Arena?” Cheng Di asked.
“I’ve long heard of your Peak Card Domain Arena. It’s said that all the disciples in the Peak Card Domain Arena are Card Masters. I’ve come admiringly to ask if your Peak Card Domain Arena is still accepting apprentices?” Wen Xiangjie said with a sincere expression.
Cheng Di’s affection towards Wen Xiangjie instantly increased to 40, and his attitude became much more enthusiastic.
“Yes, our Peak Card Domain Arena accepts apprentices year-round. However, as you said, our Peak Card Domain Arena is very strong, and not just anyone can successfully join our Daoguan. Please come in with me first; I’ll take you to meet our Daoguan Master.”
Cheng Di led Wen Xiangjie into the Daoguan.
The interior of the Peak Card Domain Arena was very spacious, with two disciples in Daoguan uniforms passionately battling in each combat area.
“This is the daily atmosphere of our Peak Card Domain Arena. If you can successfully enter our Peak Card Domain Arena, your strength will definitely improve rapidly!” Cheng Di introduced proudly.
“Good! Very spirited!” Wen Xiangjie praised cooperatively.
【Cheng Di: Affection towards you: 45 (Not bad new person).】
Wen Xiangjie’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
It had been a long time since she had met someone so easy to humor.
Passing through the training area, Cheng Di knocked on the Daoguan Master’s resting room door.
“Who is it?”
“Daoguan Master, it’s me, Cheng Di. Someone wants to join our Peak Card Domain Arena.”
“Come in.”
Cheng Di pushed open the door, and Wen Xiangjie entered the Daoguan Master’s resting room.
A burly man with a full beard was carefully wiping his cards one by one, cherishing them.
【Zhao Yongfeng: Peak Card Domain Arena Daoguan Master. Affection towards you: 30 (Stranger).】
“So you’re the one who wants to join our Daoguan?” Zhao Yongfeng asked with a booming voice.
