No other reason, Wen Xiangjie was simply too young, and her reputation had never been heard of before this.
Customers in their seats couldn't help but whisper to each other, inquiring about Wen Xiangjie.
However, after discussing for a long time, not a single person knew any information about Wen Xiangjie.
The noise and questioning from the stands gradually grew louder, and the schadenfreude on Hobson's face became increasingly apparent.
Allison and Wen Xiangjie showed no surprise at this situation.
Wen Xiangjie calmly picked up the gambling stone from the left cart, even thinking to herself if she should smirk to make it more fitting at this moment.
She had also received the Phoenix Overlord's script.
The gambling stone on the left cart was the first gambling stone Wen Xiangjie picked up at the first stall after entering the Gambling Card District.
She placed the gambling stone onto the card-opening machine.
Seeing Wen Xiangjie's action, the customers in the stands immediately lowered their voices significantly.
Although Wen Xiangjie was a bit young, and her reputation had never been heard of before.
However, the proof is in the pudding; Wen Xiangjie's gambling card strength will be known as soon as they see what this gambling stone can open.
Wen Xiangjie took out an experience card and placed it on top of the card-opening machine.
The mechanical voice of the Scholar System sounded at the opportune moment.
Ding, Scholar Task issued. As a scholar, when questioned by others, you should demonstrate your strength and win over all who doubt you. Upon task completion, Luck Value +1 will be rewarded.
Through the large projection screen, customers could clearly see a light blue energy being transmitted from the top of the card-opening machine into the gambling stone.
One minute passed, and the gambling stone had no reaction.
The clamor in the stands grew louder again.
"She can't even open a single card, can she?"
"It shouldn't be that bad, right? She's a Gambling Card Master invited by Shenyou Card Gambling Store after all. At the very least, she should be able to open an epic card, shouldn't she?"
"You think epic cards are that easy to open? Gambling cards is a losing game!"
"But earlier at Miyue Card Gambling Store, all the gambling stones Master Isaiah pointed out opened epic cards!"
"You think everyone is Master Isaiah? Why do you think Master Isaiah is recognized as one of the top three Gambling Card Masters?"
Two minutes passed, and the gambling stone still showed no reaction.
The person in charge standing next to the cart broke out in a cold sweat, staring nervously at the gambling stone on the card-opening machine, frantically praying for the gambling stone to show some reaction.
Even a rare card?
It would be better than nothing coming out of the gambling stone!
Three minutes passed, and the gambling stone still showed no reaction.
Hobson made no attempt to hide the smile on his face, his boisterous laughter causing those around him to frequently look his way and subtly distance themselves, as if fearing he had some mental illness.
At this point, the only two who could remain calm were Allison and Wen Xiangjie.
At three and a half minutes, the gambling stone finally reacted.
In the lower right corner of the gambling stone, a corner of a card quietly emerged.
All the customers in the stands widened their eyes, trying to glean a hint of information about the card buried inside from this corner.
Wen Xiangjie again placed a few experience cards on top of the card-opening machine.
After successfully getting a tip to emerge from the gambling stone, the speed at which the card came out significantly increased.
As the upper right corner of the card fully emerged, the golden light could no longer be concealed and shone brightly.
This golden light was not dazzling, but it was captivating enough.
The entire venue fell silent for a moment, then erupted in an unprecedented wave of sound.
"Holy cow!!! It's gold! It's gold!!!"
"What??? I'm not blind, am I? It's really golden light???"
"If I remember correctly, only legendary cards can emit golden light, right!!!"
"Damn, I've been in the Gambling Card District for so many years, and this is my first time seeing a legendary card actually come out of a gambling stone! I envy those of you who are here for the first time; you get to witness this once-in-a-century sight on your first visit."
"Oh my god, even Master Isaiah hasn't opened a legendary card, has he?!"
"A hot tip: none of the existing famous Gambling Card Masters have ever opened a legendary card. Master Isaiah is recognized as one of the top three Gambling Card Masters simply because he has the highest success rate of opening epic cards."
"I'm sorry, Wen Xiangjie Master, I admit my voice was too loud just now. You are the true Gambling Card Master!"
This golden light was truly too shocking, so much so that a small portion of the customers who had just questioned Wen Xiangjie's strength actually slapped themselves in the face in public, profusely apologizing to Wen Xiangjie.
However, it's understandable; who would want to offend such a powerful Gambling Card Master capable of opening legendary cards?
Who wouldn't want such a capable Gambling Card Master to help them look at gambling stones?
What if the words of doubt they spoke earlier were spread by those around them and reached Wen Xiangjie Master's ears?
They didn't know if it was too late to mend the fold after the sheep were lost, but they knew they had to show an attitude of repentance to seek Wen Xiangjie Master's forgiveness.
From a hall full of doubts to a hall full of praise and apologies, all it took was one gambling stone.
More accurately, it only took a gambling stone that could open a legendary card.
Being able to open a legendary card from a gambling stone, Wen Xiangjie's reputation instantly soared, surpassing all Card Masters, including Isaiah.
This is the charm of legendary cards!
After all, the number of legendary cards currently known to the public can be counted on two hands.
Now a new legendary card was born right before their eyes, how could they not be excited!
A legendary card, even the most ordinary legendary card, is absolutely not comparable in value to an epic card.
The smile on Hobson's face hadn't had time to recede and remained frozen there.
One second he was waiting to see the joke of this so-called Gambling Card Master invited by Shenyou Card Gambling Store and Allison, but the next second, he, who had personally come to Shenyou Card Gambling Store to watch the card-opening, became the joke instead?
From the moment Wen Xiangjie opened a legendary card from the gambling stone, the ultimate winner of this Gambling Card District event was already destined to be Shenyou Card Gambling Store.
This is the charm of legendary cards, and it's a legendary card opened from a gambling stone!
Because for most people, they are not even qualified to glance at other legendary cards.
But gambling stones are different.
If Wen Xiangjie could open a legendary card from a gambling stone today, perhaps they could also open a legendary card from a gambling stone tomorrow?
