Chapter 611: Chapter 453: Li Pu the Master Hand_2

Don’t be fooled by everyone’s excitement; when it comes to actually stepping up to shuffle the cards, there’s some hesitation.

Most people’s mentality is akin to that of seasoned slot machine gamblers, who won’t rush to take the stage. Instead, they wait for the machine to lose consecutively enough times, which they call sacrificing someone else’s luck, before they step in to seize the fruits of victory.

In their eyes, someone like Ah Yajun is a typical luck sacrificer.

Obviously, he himself isn’t aware of it.

With a glare, he slapped those two cards onto the pit.

Smack! x2

"This guy seems to be going all in..."

Li Pu hesitated about whether he should step in.

But within those few seconds of hesitation, Ah Yajun had already paid and started the machine.

Buzz buzz buzz...

In an instant, the two cards were disassembled into blue light, spreading along the rune paths.

Then they converged at the bases of the two antennas, were absorbed cleanly, filtered through the antennas, and transformed into two balls of light at the antenna tips.

"Produce output!"

Ah Yajun shouted, grabbing the balls of light in his hands.

Then, with both hands, he smacked the balls of light together, forming a fused ball of light.

Pop~

He squeezed the ball with his palms, rubbing and massaging it forcefully.

"He’s really just shuffling cards..."

This scene amused Li Pu.

However, come to think of it, he’d never seen Ah Yajun so reckless before.

"Wow! It seems like there’s something!"

"I see something tangible!"

"Go on, squeeze harder, little dude!"

The customers around cheered him on.

Li Pu also saw that in the light being squeezed and rubbed, indeed a card edge had appeared sporadically.

"Oh my god!"

But only 3 seconds later, Ah Yajun let out a painful cry.

Boom!

A puff of black smoke erupted directly from his palm, and then the light vanished entirely.

Leaving only a tiny bit of black ash, which scattered down.

"Too bad, it actually failed."

"Just a little more, little dude."

"Why don’t you try again!"

"Yeah, maybe if you try again you’ll succeed."

The crowd egged him on with a few more voices.

Looking at Ah Yajun’s indignant and defiant expression, it seemed he really wanted to continue.

"Alright, that’s enough for now."

Yet just as he was pulling out two more cards, someone grabbed his shoulder.

"Huh?"

He turned around and was stunned.

"Come on, help me shuffle!"

Upon accepting the fact of Li Pu’s appearance, he firmly grasped the other’s shoulder.

In his view, Li Pu was someone with great luck(?), maybe he could shuffle successfully?

Without further ado, Ah Yajun stuffed the two cards into Li Pu’s hands.

"Me?"

Li Pu was flabbergasted by this turn of events.

He could fuse cards himself, why bother gambling on these?

However, seeing Ah Yajun’s pitifully pleading expression, he couldn’t help but soften.

This guy often begs others to lead dungeons, he’s already a repeat offender, skillful at pleading.

"Okay then."

Li Pu sighed, looking at the two cards in his hand.

[Wild Feifei Pig], [Evergreen Trip Vine]

Li Pu: "..."

Li Pu: "..."

Li Pu: "..."

It’s really speechless.

Causing such a fuss, and here he is playing jokes on people.

Aren’t these two just wild creatures from outside?

The fusion formula for wild creature cards near Lanlan Town must have already been figured out; what’s the point in fiddling with it anymore? If you really want it, you can just buy the formula.

Besides, these aren’t even valuable cards, not worth the trouble.

He really wanted to punch this guy a couple of times.

But here he doesn’t have much strength; hitting wouldn’t hurt enough, so he’d let it be for now.

Glancing at the two cards again, he previewed with [Creation Card] in his mind.

Even though he’d run out of attempts for the day, a preview wouldn’t be a problem.

"These two cards are so useless, bring a few more."

After previewing, Li Pu looked slightly disdainful.

[Wild Feifei Pig] + [Evergreen Trip Vine] = [Green-Skinned Trip Pig]

This fusion outcome, what the heck is it? Sounds like a cold dish name.

C-grade + C-grade can actually fuse into a D-grade card, if you don’t fail, who will?

"Alright, here you go!"

Ah Yajun pulled out a bunch of wild monster cards again.

"Not enough, bring out some of your own cards."

Li Pu said something that others couldn’t understand.

"This..."

Ah Yajun knew what he meant, and he became a bit hesitant.

But after thinking about it, he decided to gamble on Li Pu’s luck.

He rummaged through his collection and pulled out a few rare cards that had fallen to his secondary deck.

No one around said anything during their exchange.

They just watched as Li Pu appeared confident, making them secretly chuckle.

They had seen too many players with such bluffing tactics.

What’s the point of pretending, when a pile of ashes will be all that’s left soon enough.

"Just these two cards then."

Ignoring the meaningful glances from the crowd, Li Pu ultimately selected two cards.

[Holy Whip Historian] + [Evergreen Trip Vine]

Without saying much, he paid 50 Cubic Coins and placed the two cards in, starting the process.

Whirr, whirr, whirr...

The machine started running, and two clusters of light quickly formed.

Copying what Ah Yajun did earlier, Li Pu grabbed them with both hands and clapped.

Snap!

"Hmm?"

The sound and the sensation weren’t what he expected.

Especially the touch; it was hard and thin, with little elasticity.

When he opened his hand, a card was already lying in his palm.

To be honest, even Li Pu hadn’t expected this outcome.

"Here you go."

But he didn’t show it, and calmly handed the finished card to Ah Yajun.

"..., huh?"

Ah Yajun paused for a while before taking the card.

[Bind you to death~]

A glowing vine appeared on the card, coiled like a snake.

Instinctively, he opened the card details.

[Holy Light Trip Vine]

Whispering Wind, 10 points, B

Attack 10, 100/100, 0/2

[Holy Light Universal - Passive]: When the Holy Light Trip Vine is revealed, it releases [Entangle] to all revealed cards, which is immune to [Entangle] itself.

[Entanglement Mastery Skill - 2 Energy]: Launches an attack, dealing 20 extra damage to a target under [Entangle], extending the duration of [Entangle] by 1 round.

([Entangle]: Can’t perform [Attack] actions next round)

Before Ah Yajun could say anything, the crowd erupted.

"Wow, really got some good stuff?!"

"Combined two C-rank cards into a B-rank!"

"Great card, I saw that!"

"It starts with a mass [Entangle], that skill is overpowered."

"An absolutely fantastic card, perfect for an entangle deck!"

"So, the [Evergreen Trip Vine] had this combo, better write it down."

"But where did the other card come from..."

"Hey kid, are you selling this card?"

"Sell it to me, just name your price!"

"I’ll trade you an A-tier card, it’s been my missing piece for ages!"

"No way, I also need a crowd-control core card!"

As they spoke, everyone crowded around.

"Human kid, you’ve got magic hands."

"This is the first time I’ve seen a card formed without even mixing!"

"Please, leave a contact with a messaging orb!"

"Me too, please!"

Besides Ah Yajun, Li Pu also received admiration.

Even the Demon Man shop owner, standing outside the crowd, was stunned.

This guy’s luck is incredible, hitting the jackpot on the first try.

Listening to everyone, he even felt a bit proud.

Because he just completed a transaction with Li Pu, and already had his contact information.

"Ouch!"

But just as he thought of that, he felt like stepping on broken glass.

Looking down, he saw that at some point someone careless had smashed his messaging orb, scattering it everywhere.

The enthusiasm from the crowd was overwhelming for Li Pu and Ah Yajun, so they quickly left the shop.

"Where are we going?"

Seeing that they left the hall and were heading toward the outskirts of the town, Ah Yajun was a bit confused.

"Coiling Dragon Valley, heard of it?"

Li Pu answered.
