Chapter 40 Cards can be traded
The decoration in the store is very elegant, and there are many different types of limited edition ‘cards’ in the wooden display cabinets.
Including many familiar table card games, such as 'Three Kingdoms', 'Magic: The Gathering', 'Magic Clash', etc.
Luo Xi placed the folded umbrella at the door. He looked around.
There are no other customers in the store except the clerk who is reading a book at the counter over there.
Also, who would run out to buy card games on such a rainy day?
What's more, this kind of physical card game is relatively niche. Firstly, the price is not cheap. Secondly, there are so many similar games on the Internet. Why spend money to buy them back and play them, so it doesn't matter if the business is bad. strangeness.
“You can take a look around and tell me if you need anything.”
The clerk, maybe the boss, is a man who looks to be in his thirties, wearing a T-shirt, and is a little fat. , at this time he said something like a formula. The tea set on his table is a special porcelain cup with patterns on it showing some magical creatures, like a magic lamp. The book he is holding in his hand is a "Player's World".
Luo Xi has also read this book.
It tells the story of seeing the world and life from a unique perspective, and you will find many different and interesting things.
It is a very philosophical book that can be read superficially or studied in depth.
In memory, there is a very important reason why Luo Xi read this book.
The author of this book is also called ‘Luo Xi’.
They have the same name and surname, so I remember them so clearly.
There is a wall in this store that is almost covered with various types of cards. They look quite gorgeous and there are thousands of them. Obviously this is a decorative style. Anyway, Meng Buding looks like this, which is very shocking and a bit gaudy, and the point can't be found.
Unless you look closely, it will be dazzling.
"Luo Xi, look, there is a dog here."
Wu Rui's voice interrupted Luo Xi's observation. When he turned around, Wu Rui was squatting on the ground, looking at the counter over there. A dog lies on a mat nearby.
A black Labrador retriever.
It doesn't look big.
It may only be two or three months old, and it is still in the very cute puppy stage.
The dog slept lazily, not caring at all about Wu Rui who was touching its head, and would even cooperate with her touching and change into a more comfortable position.
But as soon as he touched it, Wu Rui's expression changed wildly and she began to tremble.
That way, it was like seeing a ghost.
Luo Xi walked over immediately.
"What's wrong?"
"You can tell by touching this dog." Wu Rui's tone suddenly became serious, and she looked over there with a meaningful smile. The clerk showed vigilance.
Luo Xi reached out to touch the dog.
Then I immediately saw a text appearing on the dog's head.
[Watchdog], biological, rule attributes, other attributes: unknown, can be carded - as the name suggests, this is a watchdog, its role is to guard the home and courtyard, and protect the owner. In short, as long as you don't If you mess with it, it won't bother to talk to you.
No wonder Wu Rui felt like he had seen a ghost just now.
Obviously this store is not normal. After all, which serious person would have a store name that looks so neurotic at first glance like 'Bikkipburger Card Shop'?
But Luo Xi thinks this is a good thing, and it can be regarded as an accident.
As for surprise, there is no such thing, because just now Luo Xi found a [Memory] and a card named [Businessman] from the thousands of cards on the card wall. , these two are spider cards in Day of Imprisonment.
So this store is very interesting.
The clerk or the boss should be the memory collector, but the other party seems to have another way to obtain [memory].
"Memory, how to sell it?" Luo Xi walked over and asked.
Wu Rui followed, holding the handle of the knife, ready to deal with anything.
The moment she held the handle of the knife, the originally lazy and very cute puppy suddenly turned its head to look at her and began to grin.
It was unbelievable that this little dog actually sensed great danger.
"Relax, don't forget this is a watchdog." Luo Xi said to Wu Rui, who was stunned for a moment, then realized and released the handle of the knife.
The puppy immediately returned to normal, as if it were harmless to humans and animals.
"Wise choice, this lovely lady, as for this gentleman, you want to memorize it, right?" The clerk said with a smile: "It needs to be explained in advance that the cards in the Day of Imprisonment, You can't buy it with money. We just barter here, that is, we use Spider Cards in exchange for Spider Cards. Can I see your cards?"
Luo Xi turned over his hand and took it out. Put a card on the table.
The clerk looked at it.
"Is it a weapon card? Well, [Blooded Hammer]. It has powerful attack power, but you need to have enough strength, but also, using it will also increase your strength. Could it be that this is some kind of cleansing card? A craftsman’s weapon?” the clerk muttered to himself as he appraised it with enthusiasm. "It did come from a cleaner." Luo Xi said.
“Let me just say, I won’t be wrong about this. It’s a good thing. If you want to exchange it, I can exchange it with you for this [memory]. Zhang [Blooded Hammer], do you agree?" The clerk looked up and asked.
“Disagree.”
Luo Xi reached out and took the card back.
The clerk was stunned and could see that he was a little reluctant to give up.
Just like his performance, this is indeed a very good weapon card, but obviously, he is also a greedy businessman, and he obviously has no intention of raising the price.
"Anyway, if you want to exchange it, there is only one [Memory], and it is only worth this price."
The clerk's fat face showed a determination that it was impossible to raise the price. .
"I think it can be exchanged for at least three [Memories]." Luo Xi smiled and said his price.
"Three? Haha, you have no sincerity at all. It's only worth one, just one." The clerk is obviously a good negotiator.
"If we can't agree, let's forget it." Luo Xi put the cards away. He didn't lack memory, it was just a test before.
Then he turned around and pointed at the dog.
“How to sell dogs?”
"The dog is not for sale. After all, I need this dog to save my life. Everyone knows the rules of killing among people in Xianyi, and everyone's mental state is not very good. As for their temper, hehe, everyone knows it"
“So, you rely on [Watchdog] and [Businessman] [People] These two cards opened this store, so that with only a little cost, you can exchange cards for cards, buy in at a low price, and sell out at a high price. You are very smart, so you can avoid the dangers in the level scenes, Live your life happily." Luo Xi was still looking around.
“Oh, it’s not as simple as you think. This kind of business can’t be done every time. There are also times when I shave my head. If there is no business several times in a row, I can only venture into some levels. Go buy some goods." The clerk sounded helpless.
"I see, your business here is indeed very average. So besides [Memory], do you have any other cards here?" Luo Xi asked.
"Of course, I am a senior card dealer, and Bikini Castle is well-known in this area." The clerk looked proud: "Which one do you want?"
"[Duck Prophet], is there one?"
"." The clerk was stunned, and then said with a hint of excitement, "Have you seen that card?"
Luo Xi nodded.
The former immediately took out a booklet from under the counter. It was made of fine draft paper and held together with a special clip. It contained hand-drawn card patterns and handwritten text descriptions.
It is the kind of thing that is manually drawn and written, similar to a card encyclopedia.
It's very detailed, something that clearly took time and effort.
The clerk opened one of the pages, marked with a bookmark like 'Special Creatures', and handed it to Luo Xi to read: "Is that this one?"
Luo Xi just scanned it One look and nod.
"Yes, but the pattern you drew is slightly different. The duck prophet is holding a chainsaw in his hand, which is red. On his clothes, the coat of arms on the chest reads "Chun Jiang". The characters are not the letters 'DK'. As for the text description, it is a little missing. Do you need me to add something to you? ”
"Can you? That couldn't be better!" The clerk was a little excited: "To tell you the truth, my favorite is the card ability system in Day of Imprisonment. I even spent a lot of time trying to draw one. This is a real illustration of all the cards in Day of Imprisonment. I want to write a real encyclopedia of cards."
"But this thing is more difficult. I haven't seen some cards, so I can only rely on descriptions. Um, what are you holding? My God, you. You."
Suddenly, The clerk saw that the man opposite him randomly took out eight spider cards and flashed them in front of him.
And inside, there were many cards he had never seen before, especially the [Kurapika's Sword of Constraint].
There is no doubt that for a person who is obsessed with the Day of Imprisonment Spider card, this is definitely an uncontrollable temptation, so much so that his breathing stagnated for a moment.
The clerk is a smart man and a veteran among memory collectors.
He reacted immediately.
"What do you want to exchange? Memory? If you are willing, I can use a [memory] to exchange the information of the cards in your hand."
"No, I I don’t like taking advantage of others. If you want to see the information on these cards, you can only exchange it for equivalent information.”
“Oh, I understand.”
The clerk thought for a while. , nodded in agreement.
Then he snapped his fingers.
Bang~
A puff of smoke flashed, and an exquisite card book appeared in front of him out of thin air, like an open book. The entire cover was a lifelike, protruding The spider pattern is very realistic.
"This is a card collection, what? You have never seen it before, right?" The clerk smiled when he saw the expressions of the two people opposite him, as if he was looking at a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. His expression included sympathy, disdain, and a strong sense of superiority.
