In fact, the purpose of the two parties' card exchange is different.

The boss's main purpose is to collect, and exchanging cards with Li Pu can greatly save him the process of collecting around Xidu City.

Another purpose is to see if there are any rare or even out-of-print cards similar to [Big Mouth Dark Cloud Flower] among the cards provided by Li Pu.

Even if not, this exchange is still not a loss.

Li Pu's purpose is even more pure, which is to find cards with fusion potential.

During the process, the boss wanted dozens of cards, but Li Pu wanted only a few.

When Li Pu said that the quantity difference between the two sides was too unequal, the boss suggested that he could use crystal coins to make up for the difference.

As soon as he said this, he immediately took out the discarded cards that he had produced in the past [card making].

Although it is a discarded brand, it still belongs to the category of out-of-print cards.

The boss was overjoyed when he achieved his goal. He bid a total of 20,000 for the two out-of-print cards, plus the price difference for other cards, giving Li Pu a total of 30,000 crystal coins.

This made Li Pu once again value the value of out-of-print cards.

If he sold all the out-of-print cards he owns now, he would probably make a lot of money, maybe enough to take away the [Power of Godzilla].

But with the Cube Circuit coming soon, it was impossible for him to do this kind of thing of killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs.

After exchanging cards, Fuldai still didn't come back.

Ma He called him and contacted him, and he hurried back to the store.

The final result was not far from what Lipu expected.

Fuerdai found a few B-level cards. He didn't buy them on the spot, but he brought back the photos and provided them to the boss.

But the boss looked down on them all, and threatened to redeem his B-level skill Light Group, which requires at least 3 of these B-level cards.

Fuldai is rich, but not rich enough to buy three B cards at the same time without heartache.

After weighing it for a while, I gave up the idea.

So after spending another two hours visiting the market, the four of them returned to the dormitory.

What Li Pu gained was only some new cards and the skill [Mysterious Wagging Tail]. He asked Bu Bu to learn it as soon as he returned.

Then in the evening, it was the opening ceremony of the Southwest Star Cup.

Unlike others, Li Pu did not go there, but chose to stay at the training ground in the dormitory area to help several teammates train the summoned beasts.

The mournful screams of several summoned beasts sounded in turn and lasted all night.

Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of the training ground is very good, otherwise the players in the surrounding buildings would probably have nightmares at night.

The next morning, the solo track started on time.

Li Pu, who had stayed up all night, yawned and followed everyone to the venue.

If we had to define a highlight for the Southwest Star Cup, it would definitely be the team track in the middle of the schedule.

Because the single-player track is a bit monotonous in comparison. There is only a pure arena competition, no outdoor competition, and the duration is also short, only 5 days.

The first two days are the audition stage for large-scale elimination, and the last three days are the only arena battles.

The rules are very similar to the freshman arena that Li Pu and the others have experienced.

As soon as I walked into the venue, I saw the picture being played on the big screen.

The camera captured the player waiting area, where a large number of people were showing various states.

Some are gearing up and eager to try, some are nervous and have their heads lowered due to stage fright, and there are also some who are constantly looking at others and beginning to observe their opponents in advance.

The group portrait camera swept across and began to capture individual close-ups.

"Wow! It's Bucktooth Can, a trainee from Cui Can Entertainment!"

"I didn't expect that he was also a summoner and came to compete."

"Look, that's one of the unofficial school heroes of Zhongdu University, Brother Liu Hai!"

"He is really handsome. Even with this hairstyle, he still looks good on the eyes."

"I dug a corner, that girl is so beautiful!"

"I think I've seen her before, she's from the World of Warcraft Transportation Company."

On average, two or three close-ups will cause an exclamation.

"Seat tickets have been purchased, everyone follow me."

Wang Nuonuo led a small team all the way to the No. 18 arena.

"I asked for some information last night. I predict that everyone will be more interested in the contestants in this arena."

As an investigative professional, she is very good at collecting intelligence.

Due to its high popularity, the audience area was packed with seats.

Fortunately, Wang Nuonuo bought a seat in advance, and it was a summoner's seat.

The so-called summoner's seat is actually nothing more than a larger area than ordinary people's seats.

The extra space in this part is reserved for summoned beasts.

Of course, this extra space is not enough for a large turtle like Rolling Turtle.

However, it is more comfortable to lie on Wu Guinan's head after it has shrunk.

The designated seats for the five of them were of course in the Summoner Zone, and they had to pass many Summoners on the way.

During the journey, Li Pu discovered a very strange phenomenon.

That is, when the straw man passes by, some summoned beasts will stand up and nod and bow to it.

Everyone was puzzled by this.

The straw man's explanation shocked them.

Because it claims that these guys are all its new younger brothers acquired yesterday.

Only Li Pu was not surprised at all. Forcibly accepting his younger brother was one of his quirks.

The size of the stadium was no less than that of their school's conference hall, so they walked in the auditorium for several minutes before they arrived at their seats.

As soon as I sat down, I happened to encounter a new game on stage 18.

"No, what is this?"

Wu Guinan immediately exclaimed before his butt was even hot from sitting on it.

Because just when the referee on the 18th stage announced the contestants to come on stage, a big guy wearing a Zhongdu University uniform climbed up.

Yes, climb.

Because this player is not human at all.

It has a head like a shrimp, with four long flesh-colored tentacles extending out from its mouth, squirming flexibly around its mouth.

The huge crab claws and elongated body made the school uniform look particularly bulky, as if it was forcibly put on the body.

The alien race is a mature intelligent creature that travels from various other worlds.

Compared to beings like the Tree People, who are essentially monsters, they can be considered a real alien race.

If physical structure is not considered, aliens are the same as humans in some respects, and individuals with corresponding potential can become summoners.

However, foreign races also have their own ethnic groups and even social systems, and most of them live within the federal area.

Within the federation where humans live, it is still relatively rare.

To be honest, this was the first time for these people to witness a foreign race at such a close distance.

"The shrimp tribe."

However, Li Pu frowned and revealed the race of this classmate Da Xia.

"Huh? I didn't expect you to know such a foreign race?"

Wang Nuonuo couldn't help but be surprised when he heard his answer.

The tentacle shrimps are easily rejected by humans due to their appearance.

Therefore, they actually don’t have much contact with human society, and most of them live in their own circles.

It was only through the knowledge she learned in the professional investigation class that she was able to recognize his racial identity.

"Of course I know you."

In response to the senior sister's surprise, Li Pu just nodded slightly, his expression not very good-looking.

He has never taken any relevant professional courses, nor has he ever actually seen a foreign race.

But he could definitely recognize this shrimp clan at a glance.

Because among the pile of information about the blind date given by my grandfather, there was a princess from the Clan of the Celestial Shrimp (?).
