In the evening, my parents, who had been working all day, returned to the inn in the slums again, not least because the prices here were cheap. For the couple who had been working all day, they could still save some copper coins despite staying in hotels and eating.
, which is good news for the two of them.
Regarding today's income, the smile on her mother's face already showed her mood at the moment. She carefully put the copper coins she had counted several times into her pocket and said with some emotion.
"I really didn't expect that I could earn so much money in a day's work in White Tiger City. If I had known this, why didn't we come to work earlier?"
My father has long been accustomed to his mother's erratic behavior, he joked.
"Didn't you say you would never come to White Tiger City again? Why are you thinking about staying here again?"
The mother simply ignored the father's teasing and smiled.
"Isn't that because I was robbed? Now it's a blessing in disguise. Maybe we can actually survive here?"
My father didn't say much on this topic. Instead, he looked out the window with hesitant eyes, lit up a cigarette and started smoking alone.
Seeing that her father ignored her, her mother snorted lightly and didn't care. She picked up Xiaoqiang who was sitting quietly by the bed, touched his nose, and said to herself.
"Xiaoqiang, this time we have settled down as a blessing in disguise. Mom is going to make a lot of money. When I have enough money to pay for the magic academy, I will send you there. After what happened this time, my mother can see clearly. We
If you are powerless, you will definitely be bullied by others. My mother's expectations are all on you. When you enter the magic academy, work hard and strive to be able to hold your head high and be a good person. Don't let others look down on our family."
I talked a lot eloquently, and my mother didn’t care whether I understood or not. Anyway, after saying these words, looking at her expectant look, it was obvious that she was dreaming about a better life in the future.
After nightfall, his parents, who had worked hard all day, fell into a deep sleep. Xiaoqiang took advantage of his parents' deep sleep to sneak to the roof of the inn again, sitting alone in the corner and looking at the fifth card that had just been condensed.
The fifth card depicts a pair of angels and demons, with the center of the card as the boundary and each occupying half of the card.
The devil's side is wrapped in flames and volcanoes, while the angel's side looks peaceful with white clouds.
This was the first time Xiaoqiang saw this kind of card. Curious, he asked System Novice Bai.
"Xiao Bai, what does this card do?"
Xiaobai said: "This card is called fraud. You can use this card to induce the enemy to make wrong judgments, and you can also make the opponent obey your orders unconditionally. Of course, this ability does not always exist. As long as the illusion card is removed
The other party will return to normal, but subconsciously they will still act according to your orders and will not interfere with their normal life."
"Ah? This card also has this function?"
"Of course, the host has only developed less than 1% of the card's ability. Only when the host collects all the cards can we understand the true charm of the fantasy card."
"But, I heard you say before that there are thousands of magic cards. How much magic energy do those many cards require?"
"This host can rest assured that the host can generate low-level magic cards by collecting magic energy, but high-level magic cards are different. Even if the host has all the magic energy in the world, it may not be able to conquer those high-level magic cards."
This was the first time Xiaoqiang heard this term from the system, and he immediately became interested in it.
"What are high-level fantasy cards? How are they different from low-level fantasy cards?"
Xiaobai said: "The reason why advanced fantasy cards are called advanced is because they have independent consciousness, and they can control their own behavior based on their own emotional awareness. Simply put, advanced fantasy cards are fantasy cards with life.
"
"Ah!" The phantom card can actually have life. This is something Xiaoqiang has never thought of. He always thought that the phantom card was just some kind of summoning magic, but he never imagined that the phantom card could be born from his own consciousness.
"Xiao Bai, according to you, it's difficult to conquer high-level magic cards?"
"Yes, the high-level fantasy card has self-awareness, and he can choose the master he wants to follow."
Speaking of this, Xiaoqiang suddenly thought of a question and asked hurriedly.
"Then, what is the purpose of your existence? Isn't our goal in this world to conquer all fantasy cards?"
Xiaobai said: "This goal is not wrong, it is also the reason for my existence, but the host still has a long way to go to achieve this goal."
"Then can I conquer those high-level fantasy cards? And how many low-level fantasy cards can you condense?"
Xiaobai did not answer immediately, and said uncertainly after being silent for a while.
"I don't know about this either. Only after the host provides enough energy can I vaguely see the situation of the next phantom card. I'm sorry that I can't answer your question."
At this point, Xiaoqiang was so deeply shocked by what the system said that he didn't know how to think about it. It wasn't until he was silent for a quarter of an hour that Xiaoqiang exhaled and finally recovered from the shock in his heart.
Come to God.
"Well, you shocked me too much. Anyway, I don't know what will happen in the future. It doesn't matter whether it is a high-level fantasy card or a low-level fantasy card. One step at a time. Anyway, since I have come to this world, I will definitely
I cannot follow the old path of the original world. Since God has given me a chance, I must seize it firmly."
As the words fell, Xiaobai's expression returned to calmness again, and his eyes looked at the full moon in the night sky with a look of expectation.
Xiaobai could feel the host's heart and cheered.
"I will always accompany the host and witness your strength every step of the way."
"Okay, with you by my side, what should I be afraid of? When I have the power to compete with the world, I want to do something that I never dared to think or do."
As the atmosphere gradually became more lively, Xiaoqiang also stopped talking about fantasy cards and began to use his flying boots to fly towards the largest auction house in White Tiger City, the headquarters of the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce.
Unlike the poor who spend their time at work, the dignitaries in Baihu City spend a lot of time at night. Restaurants and Spring Houses are all places frequented by these people.
Different from those pure entertainment venues, although the Daikin Auction House where Huiyao Chamber of Commerce is located does not have the drinks and beautiful women that dignitaries like, a large number of people will gather every time the auction house holds an auction.
No, the auction that will be held tomorrow has a large number of customers tonight. Of course, not all of these people are here to participate in the auction, but more of them want to take advantage of this grand event to sell their hands.
