Because he wasn't sure if the system could only convert to cash, Lin Ye specifically went to the bank after leaving the Black Rose Bar and withdrew the 20,000 yuan Hu Die had given him.
After getting the money, he didn't immediately return to the dormitory. Instead, he found a chain hotel around the school and rented a room for a few hours.
The first thing he did after entering the room was to lock the door.
As soon as the door was locked, two figures jumped down from him, none other than Black the Black cat and Brian the crow.
When people were around before, the two little guys could only pretend to be dolls, but now that there was no one else, they immediately reverted to their true forms.
"You two be good, don't run around, don't make noise."
"Here, take these and eat."
As he spoke, Lin Ye took out the cat food and freeze-dried treats he had just bought from a roadside store.
Seeing the food, the two little guys immediately began to gobble it down without a word.
While they were eating, Lin Ye opened the system interface, found the magic gold coins section, and unhesitatingly chose to convert the 20,000 yuan cash by his hand into 200 magic gold coins.
Although 20,000 yuan cash was a huge sum for him now, he believed that with his current abilities, earning 20,000 yuan, or even more, would no longer be difficult.
Money lost could be earned again, but the special offer magic items in the shop would be refreshed after midnight.
No sooner had he chosen to convert than the cash in his hand disappeared, replaced by the magic gold coins which shot up from 100 to 300.
Lin Ye's lips couldn't help but curve upwards when he saw this scene.
"Then let me see what's so magical about this magic item this time."
As he spoke, he eagerly opened the Mysterious Shop and focused his gaze on the item named Twisted Fate's Fate Cards.
Upon clicking purchase, the item transformed into a white light, drilled out of the screen, and appeared in his hand.
When the white light dissipated, a set of ancient-looking cards appeared in his previously empty palm.
To be precise, it wasn't a complete set, but rather a half-set; all the cards together totaled 27.
Each card was roughly palm-sized, hard in texture, and faintly shimmered with a metallic luster.
The backs depicted different constellations, while the fronts were adorned with various patterns.
There were knights, witches, monsters, and demons, all bizarre and mysterious.
However, the magical aura emanating from them was not particularly strong, perhaps related to their incompleteness.
It was precisely because of this that it was relegated to a special offer item.
Looking at the ancient cards in his hand, exuding a mysterious aura, a hint of curiosity flickered in Lin Ye's eyes.
"What exactly is this thing for? There's no introduction or anything."
No sooner had he spoken than a system prompt sounded.
"Do you wish to activate the Codex function? In the Codex function, the host can view the relevant attributes and descriptions of various acquired items, spells, and pets."
Upon hearing this prompt, Lin Ye's eyes immediately lit up.
"You had this good thing and didn't tell me sooner!"
"Activate it for me now!"
"Understood, Host."
As soon as the system finished speaking, a new option appeared in the system backpack interface, named 'Codex'.
The Codex was divided into different modules such as Magic Items, Magic Pets, Magic, and Potions.
Clicking on the Magic Items interface, two glowing magic items appeared before Lin Ye's eyes.
One was Roger's Gold Watch, and the other was Twisted Fate's Fate Cards, which he currently held in his hand.
Gently tapping on Twisted Fate's Fate Cards, the relevant information appeared before him.
【Twisted Fate's Fate Cards】
【Item Level: Intermediate Magic Item (Incomplete)】
【Information: A famous magic item of the renowned Magician Twisted Fate, originally possessing 54 cards, half of which were lost in battle, causing its level to decrease.】
【Effect 1: Card Control: As the card's master, you can freely control these cards, making them your most loyal servants.】
【Effect 2: Card Throw: When necessary, these cards can serve as your weapon to deal long-range damage to enemies.】
【Effect 3: Wager: As long as you propose a wager to an opponent and they agree to it, there will be a certain probability that what you say will come true. The first wager each day will be 100% victorious (this effect has certain limitations; things too far removed from reality cannot be achieved).】
【Effect 4: Enchantment: You can seal any spell within a card. The card will temporarily possess the effect of that magic.】
"If you can't lose, it's not a gamble – Twisted Fate."
.......
Looking at the introduction information for the Fate Cards before him, Lin Ye's face immediately showed intense surprise.
"These 300 magic gold coins were absolutely worth it! It actually has four effects, which is much stronger than Roger's Gold Watch."
"Especially this third effect, is this thing really not a conceptual ability?"
Looking at the effect named 'Wager' before him, Lin Ye immediately thought of a guy named Yan Shuangying.
"So, if someone points a gun at me, I just need to tell them, 'I bet his gun has no bullets,' and his gun will really have no bullets? If that's the case, this ability is simply abnormal."
"Oh, right, can I also bet on the Dragon Country men's football team winning when they play against other countries? As long as I make good use of the 100% win ability once a day, I'll be the King of Gamblers—no, the God of Gamblers!"
For a moment, Lin Ye was extremely excited.
He immediately began to seriously study the functions of the cards.
After some experimentation, he quickly mastered the first two uses of the cards.
He simply snapped his fingers, and a card appeared in his hand. With a pull of his hands, this one card transformed into 27 cards, and when brought back together, it reverted to a single card.
With a flick, the single card also disappeared.
He ran his hand over Black's body and pulled out a 3 of diamonds, then another touch produced a 3 of hearts.
The two cards immediately turned into a 6 of clubs when pressed together.
As long as he wished, he could pull out any card he wanted from any corner, any place. He could control the suit and the value at will.
Even if he threw these cards hundreds of meters away, a single thought would bring them back into his hand instantly.
Besides that, he could also control these cards to float and fly, just like an immortal cultivator controlling a sword.
In his hands, these cards seemed to possess life; this was Card Control.
After experiencing Card Control, he tried Card Throw.
The so-called Card Throw was relatively simple.
He casually took out a card and flicked it lightly. The card flew out like a throwing knife, so fast that an ordinary person's naked eye couldn't even see it clearly.
Swish...
The card, sharp as a blade, directly sliced a bottle of cola placed in front of the TV cabinet into two halves on the spot, then flew back into Lin Ye's hand unharmed.
Looking at the broken cola bottle, and then at the card in his hand, Lin Ye couldn't help but gasp.
"If this were fired at a person, I'm afraid it could directly cut off someone's head, right? Terrifying, truly terrifying."
As he spoke, he put all the cards away.
Even without mentioning the cards' special abilities, relying solely on the first two effects, he was enough to become a top-tier card Magician.
Casually cleaning up the spilled cola on the table, he patted Black and Brian, who were playing on the bed.
"Let's go, it's time for us to leave."
"I'll buy you something delicious tonight; we'll have fresh beef then."
After speaking, Lin Ye stuffed the two halves of the cola bottle into his pocket and walked out of the room with Black and Brian, who had returned to their doll forms.
