Chapter 609: Chapter 452: Coiling Dragon Valley (Part 2)

Just a Dragon-counter card is already quite rare, and this one provides a 20% advantage. It’s almost impossibly rare!

It’s definitely a limited edition card!

Thinking of this, the Demon Man’s excitement was nearly uncontrollable.

If he took this Chaotic Elements card into battle against Dragon Soldiers, he would gain a tremendous advantage!

As a businessman, his sense for opportunities is very keen.

He believed that once this card was revealed, people outside would undoubtedly flock to it!

"Sir, are you really going to sell this card?"

The Demon Man cast a heated gaze at Li Pu.

"Yes, sell it."

Li Pu nodded.

"Congratulations, boss!"

The nearby attendant felt happy for her own boss. If they took this card and sold it, they would surely make a fortune.

"No."

Understanding what his subordinate meant, the Demon Man raised his hand.

Indeed, he also wanted to make a big profit from this.

He believed that a profit of 30,000 or 40,000 wasn’t out of the question.

Despite the high price tag of 80,000 on that impressive-looking card outside, it was actually acquired for a little over 70,000.

The profit margin was small, and it had been on the shelf for a long time without selling.

If he made 30,000 or 40,000 more, it might just be enough for him to buy another vacant shop.

But now, the Demon Man had another idea.

Because there were two other card houses in this small town with the same business nature, which were their competitors.

"Sir, we are willing to buy your card without making a single cent of profit."

"We will directly acquire it at the selling price from the shop."

"The price is... 100,000."

The Demon Man showed his decisiveness.

"Hiss!"

The nearby attendant took a deep breath on the spot.

Their boss was really going all out today!

It should be noted that this isn’t consignment; it’s directly purchasing it first and then displaying it for sale. The money is only recovered once the card is truly sold.

100,000 Cubic Coins, what a concept.

She had joined this store when it first opened, and honestly, she estimated that the profit handed over to the boss from the opening until now wasn’t even 100,000.

This means that for this purchase, the boss would have to pay out of pocket.

But she understood the meaning behind this action.

It’s about creating momentum, drawing in customers.

By displaying this card for only ten days or half a month, the customer traffic would surely increase significantly.

By then, the other two competitors’ businesses would definitely be affected.

Indeed, their boss had his sights set far beyond what she, a mere employee, could see, and he had more guts.

This made the attendant feel a bit of admiration, as she turned her gaze towards Li Pu.

Whether he agreed or not was actually the most important factor.

At this point, even the Demon Man felt his own breathing become somewhat uncontrollably rapid.

What if the price he offered wasn’t enough to sway the other party?

What if the other party gave the card to his competitor?

Especially the second possibility, the thought of it made him restless.

Seeing that the other party hadn’t responded for a long time, was it that he hadn’t shown enough sincerity?

But 100,000 Cubic Coins, it was already all his fortune...

"This card... isn’t worth that much."

Li Pu’s answer directly stunned the Demon Man.

100,000 Cubic Coins, which means this one card, Chaotic Elements, was worth 100,000 Wild Boars.

To know, as mentioned earlier, in his eyes, Chaotic Elements was just a worthless trash card.

To put it plainly, it is a failed product of the Chaos Brew; no matter how you merge it, there will be no change.

As the main component or the material, the final product will still be Chaotic Elements.

What use could such a card be?

Thinking of this, he furrowed his brow in doubt.

However, this frown, in the eyes of the Demon Man, had another meaning.

What now?

Trying to haggle in reverse?

Or... testing the waters?

He felt a bit unable to read this young man across from him.

Thinking it over, the Demon Man decided to answer honestly.

"Because... this card."

He said, taking a card out and placing it on the table.

"Because of this card, the Chaotic Elements seems extremely expensive."

[Dragon Dragon Dragon!]

As the Demon Man’s words fell, a projection appeared in front of Li Pu.

"Half-dragon?"

He almost mistook it for Long Ren’s summoned beast.

But unlike Long Ren’s half-dragon, this projection wore simple armor and held a weapon. Its scales were not the blue of a half-dragon but red, and it even had hair.

"Indeed, you can call them that."

The Demon Man snapped his fingers, bringing up the card’s information.

[Dragon Soldier]

Wisdom, 10 points, B

Attack 10, 100/100, 4/4

[Dragon Body - Passive]: All damage taken by Dragon Soldier is reduced by 10.

[Dragon Soldier Battle Technique - 4 points energy]: In the next three turns, Dragon Soldier’s attack/health +100%.

The opponent’s display of a Dragon card indicated the intent to use Chaotic Elements to counter it, but...

"This card isn’t that great either."

Li Pu felt that even without being weakened, this Dragon Soldier wasn’t much of a threat.

"It seems sir hasn’t visited Coiling Dragon Valley."

"What if they appeared in the form of magical beasts?"

"Attack/Health x3, what concept would that be?"

"And then consider the flagship’s buff."

The Demon Man sank into a deeper tone.

Upon hearing this, Li Pu came to an understanding.

The cards they obtained didn’t match the data of magical beasts in the card game.

x3 would be 30 attack + 300 health.

With the flagship position doubling, that’s 600 health.

Using a skill...60 attack/1200 health.

That’s undoubtedly a BOSS, even more exaggerated than the [Soul-Eating Guardian] he encountered in the dungeon before.

If he placed a Chaotic Element card, it could indeed greatly weaken this half-dragon creature.

No wonder the other party seemed to care so much.

This gave Li Pu a further understanding of the metaverse.

It’s like the games he used to play, where cards had different functions; some could be considered PVE cards, others PVP cards.

PVP is naturally for dueling on the card table.

PVE is specifically for dealing with wild beasts and magical beast enemies.

But what is this Coiling Dragon Valley, it sounds quite interesting.

Li Pu felt he might need to check it out.

Generally speaking, places like this might have opportunities, right?

Even if not, collecting a few more Dragon cards as materials wouldn’t be bad.

As for the Demon Man watching him eagerly...

"Deal."

He nodded, ultimately agreeing.

No matter how you calculate it, he wouldn’t lose.

"Thank you! Thank you, sir!"

The Demon Man was so excited that he stood up directly, shaking hands with him across the desk.

With the exchange of goods and money, Li Pu received 100,000 Cubic Coins.

"Thank you, sir. If you have any cards to sell in the future, you can come to our store."

"We won’t charge any handling fees."

The Demon Man pocketed the card, his heart brimming with joy.

"Alright."

Li Pu heard this and thought for a moment, then said, "Do you have a restroom here?"

"I have one here, please!"

The Demon Man pointed towards a door in his office, beaming with joy.

"This..."

The nearby attendant saw this and hesitated to speak.

Their boss is someone who highly values personal space, and this restroom was never allowed to be used by others.

Even several esteemed guests before hadn’t been granted access.

It seems this gentleman holds a truly different weight in the boss’s mind.

What she didn’t know was that now, let alone using his private restroom, if the other party wanted to relieve himself on his dining table, the Demon Man would call someone to move the table over without a second thought.

But of course, Li Pu didn’t enter to relieve himself.

The metaverse allowed holding multiple copies of the same card, unlike in the Blue Star universe.

So...

Just minutes later, Li Pu pretended to wash his hands and then walked out.

"Then, can you help me sell these too?"

He shook the water off his hands and threw out a few more cards.

All of them were Chaotic Elements.

"..." x2

"???" x2

"!!!" x2
