Gu Xin took out two cards he considered to be his proudest masterpieces and placed them on the table.
“See if either of these catches your eye.”
Gu Xin was brimming with confidence.
He felt that absolutely no one could refuse his cards!
Yin Xue blinked her large eyes and looked at the card on the far left.
The card’s illustration featured two brightly colored cylinders, one upright and one upside down.
It looked somewhat incomprehensible but undeniably impressive.
Generally speaking, a card’s effect was related to its illustration, but Yin Xue truly couldn’t figure out what these two patterned cylinders meant.
However, when she read the card’s effect below, her eyes instantly went wide.
[Magic Cylinder]
[Category: Magic Card]
[Quality: 2-Star Purple Card]
[Attribute: None]
[Effect: When the opponent uses a magic attack, this card can absorb the opponent’s attack and reflect the magic back at them.]
[(Note: Reflect!
Reflect!!
Reflect!!)]
*Wh-What in the world is this?!!*
Yin Xue was stunned.
Absorb the opponent’s magic attack, and then reflect it?
To be honest, the effect description for [Magic Cylinder] wasn’t long, but it was an absolute bane to magic.
What did it mean to ‘nullify and reflect’?
Yin Xue didn’t even dare to imagine how spectacular the opponent’s expression would be when the magic they spent ages chanting was directly nullified and reflected right back at them!
*This card is just…*
*Too amazing!!*
Little stars lit up in Yin Xue’s eyes.
She loved this!
However, this was only the first one.
Yin Xue suppressed her excitement and looked at the second card.
[Wither]
[Category: Magic Card]
[Quality: 2-Star Gold Card]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Effect: Cast on a designated target, inflicting them with a dark curse that causes rapid aging for a short duration.]
[(Note: Weak!
Feeble!
Powerless!)]
*A Gold Card!!*
*This is a Gold Card, a Golden Legend!*
Yin Xue wasn’t an ignorant girl, but Golden Legend-tier cards were truly exceptionally rare and precious.
Even if it was only a 2-Star Gold Card, it was still a Gold Card.
As long as it was a Gold Card, its effects would absolutely be astonishing!
However…
*Rapid aging for a short duration?*
A question mark popped up over Yin Xue’s cute head.
She didn’t quite understand what this ‘aging’ meant.
“Boss, what does the aging on this [Wither] card mean?”
Yin Xue was a good kid; she knew to ask when she didn’t understand something.
“It means exactly what it says.
[Wither] inflicts the power of aging onto the target, forcing them into an ‘Aged’ state,” Gu Xin explained.
“All things age, and once they fall into an ‘Aged’ state, it becomes difficult to take even a single step.
Whether they try to fight or move, it will only be laughable.”
Seeing Yin Xue still looking half-confused, Gu Xin offered a simpler analogy.
“For example, Miss Yin, you are very young right now.
Even if you ran a thousand meters, you could push through it.
But once [Wither] is applied, the curse of ‘Aging’ will make your body feel as if it has entered old age.”
“Let alone running a thousand meters, even walking ten meters would be incredibly difficult.
It’s like a beautiful, blooming flower withering and fading into a broken, ruined husk.”
After a moment of thought, Gu Xin added, “Of course, the effect of [Wither] isn’t quite that exaggerated.
Although it will ‘Age’ the opponent, it won’t completely strip them of their ability to resist.”
Yin Xue suddenly understood.
“Isn’t that way too overpowered?!”
After fully grasping the concept, Yin Xue was deeply shocked.
No wonder it was a Gold Card—this effect was practically game-breaking!
Didn’t this mean that once [Wither] was applied, the opponent would become meat on the chopping block, entirely at her mercy?
Moreover, this effect was practically tied to the concept of ‘Time’…
“Boss, did you make this card?” Yin Xue couldn’t help but ask.
“If I didn’t make it, how could I take it out to sell?” Gu Xin was speechless.
“…You’re amazing!” Yin Xue felt a bit awkward but was still full of awe.
Judging from these two cards, this boss—who looked no more than two years older than her—had to be a Tier 2 Card Crafter.
But the quality of these cards was absurdly high!
“It seems you’re quite fond of these two cards, Miss Yin?”
“Yes!
I love them.
Please sell these two cards to me, Boss!”
Little stars seemed to twinkle in Yin Xue’s eyes.
She could pat her well-developed chest and guarantee it.
With these two cards, she would absolutely be an unstoppable force in school, crushing anyone who stood in her way!
“I can do that, but Miss Yin, you should know that the prices for these two cards won’t be cheap.”
Gu Xin sized up the young girl in front of him.
She looked like she came from a fairly well-off family.
To Gu Xin, what was the point of a Card Crafter making cards?
Primarily, it was for personal satisfaction.
But secondarily, wasn’t it to make money?
Crafting cards cost money, and the prices of materials were glaringly obvious.
And right now, Gu Xin was completely broke…
*How frustrating.
To think I still have to worry about cash even after transmigrating.*
Therefore, being able to sell [Magic Cylinder] and [Wither] was naturally for the best.
“Please rest assured, Boss.
My parents dote on me quite a bit, and…
my family is quite wealthy.”
Speaking of this, Yin Xue straightened her back slightly, revealing a reserved and modest little smile.
Her entire being was broadcasting a single signal: *This lady has money!*
“Haha, then that makes things easy.
Sure enough, at first glance, I could tell that Miss Yin is not only beautiful but also possesses an outstanding temperament.”
Gu Xin smiled in satisfaction.
“You flatter me, Boss.” Yin Xue pursed her lips, her pretty eyes curving slightly in evident delight.
Although she had heard countless such compliments growing up.
But the person saying it was different, after all.
In Yin Xue’s eyes, being a 2-Star Card Crafter at such a young age—and one capable of crafting Gold Cards at that—was just too amazing!
“The market price for a 2-Star Purple Magic Card fluctuates between 800,000 and 1,200,000.
[Magic Cylinder]’s effect is very powerful, so I’m willing to pay 1,400,000 to buy it.”
“As for [Wither], Gold Cards have always been priceless and highly sought after.
I remember a 1-Star Gold Card auctioned for 5,500,000 last year.
I’m willing to pay double that premium to buy [Wither] for 15,000,000.
What do you think, Boss?”
Yin Xue pondered for a moment before negotiating with Gu Xin.
Her hesitant tone made it obvious that she wasn’t good at haggling.
This was simply the price she estimated to be very reasonable in her heart.
“Miss Yin is very generous.” Gu Xin’s eyes lit up, and he gave her a thumbs-up.
*She’s a true wealthy lady.*
He almost wanted to say, *’Rich lady, I’m hungry, feed me.’*
The price for [Magic Cylinder] was very reasonable, already higher than the market rate, but the price Yin Xue offered for [Wither] was genuinely astronomical.
Although [Wither]’s effect was game-breaking, for the same reason as [Change of Heart], it was ultimately still just a 2-Star card.
How should he put it?
It was just like equipment in a video game.
At low levels, it was an invincible divine artifact, but once the level got higher later on, it would become useless.
However, this price was quoted by the customer, and truth be told, [Wither]’s effect really was far too overpowered.
Seeing Gu Xin readily agree, Yin Xue also breathed a sigh of relief.
“By the way, Boss, do you have any Summon Cards here?” Yin Xue then asked Gu Xin expectantly.
Compared to Magic Cards, Summon Cards were the most important thing to a Card Master.
“I do, sister!
I do!”
Gu Xin’s eyes lit up, and he immediately slapped his freshly minted card down for this young miss.
“This [Squirtle] was just made.
The card is still hot off the press!”
Although it was just a ‘failed card’ without a poison effect, Gu Xin felt that this [Squirtle] card was still pretty good.
