Summon Card [Squirtle]

Cards should actually be called magic cards in full.

[Summon Cards], [Magic Cards], [Item Cards]—there were many finer classifications, but in total, magic cards fell into these three types.

And for card masters, summon cards were the most important.

Because summon cards could summon magical creatures to serve as support in battle, which genuinely added another fighting force.

Come to think of it, after the card master profession appeared, the former summoner profession had completely declined and withered away.

Mm, by now, they could practically be said to be nowhere to be found.

Because a card master who possessed summon cards was a complete superior substitute for a summoner. At the very least, besides the summoned creatures from their summon cards, the card master themselves could also use magic cards and item cards to fight in coordination.

Yin Xue was now a second-tier card master and understood the importance of summon cards deeply. A powerful summon card could transform a card master's strength.

And the young card maker in front of her gave Yin Xue great expectations.

"It's a blue card."

Yin Xue looked at the summon card Mammon handed over.

[Squirtle]

[Category: Summon Card]

[Quality: One-Star Blue Card]

[Attribute: Water]

[Species Trait: Torrent]

[(Note: A little bastard turtle that can spray water)]

Looking at this summon card, Yin Xue could not help falling into thought.

If it was only a one-star blue card, Yin Xue actually would not have been too tempted.

But this card actually had a species trait, and that was relatively rare.

Species traits were not something every summon card had. They represented the racial bloodline traits of that magical creature.

They generally only appeared on summon cards of purple-card level or above. For a blue card to have a species trait was extremely uncommon.

"Boss, I'll take this card. How much?"

Yin Xue hesitated for a moment, then decided to buy this summon card after all.

Putting aside the combat strength of the magical creature summoned by this card, just the little blue bastard turtle on the card art looked rather pleasing to Yin Xue.

"Eight hundred thousand. Miss Yin can take it away directly."

"Fine."

Yin Xue did not bargain. In reality, according to market prices, a one-star blue summon card should cost around five hundred thousand.

[Squirtle] was clearly marked up, but never mind the fact that this was a summon card with a species trait.

Out of respect for [Magic Cylinder] and [Wither], Yin Xue did not mind paying the extra three hundred thousand.

"Miss Yin is very straightforward. Please rest assured, [Squirtle] definitely won't disappoint you. It's sure to bring you many surprises."

Gu Xin said this with full confidence.

Although [Squirtle] was not poisonous, it was still an excellent summon card. That was what Gu Xin believed.

"I trust you, Boss." Yin Xue smiled reservedly. She was in quite a good mood too.

The actual combat strength of a magical creature summoned by a summon card could not be shown on the card. It still had to be understood after actually summoning it.

But hearing Gu Xin say that, Yin Xue felt a little more reassured.

The main point was that a card maker who could create a gold card like [Wither] should certainly have some quality assurance when it came to his magic cards, right?

"Three cards in total: [Magic Cylinder], 1.4 million; Wither, 15 million; [Squirtle], 800 thousand. The total is 17.2 million."

"Swipe the card."

Yin Xue took out the bank card her father had given her.

"Miss Yin, you will definitely become a powerful card master in the future."

When Gu Xin saw the payment notification on his phone, he smiled brilliantly.

He put the three cards into specially made card sleeves and handed them to Yin Xue.

He had a very good impression of a generous little rich girl like Yin Xue. He liked customers like this, so naturally he had to offer a few words of blessing.

"Thank you for the kind words, Boss. Let's add each other's contact information, shall we? If you make any other powerful cards in the future, you can contact me."

Yin Xue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she smiled sweetly at Gu Xin.

Although she was currently only a second-tier card master and the cards she could use were limited, she would definitely need more cards in the future.

"Of course, no problem."

Gu Xin naturally could not ask for more. Yin Xue was a big client, after all.

"If you have time, please come by more often. And if you have any other card master friends, Miss Yin, you can recommend us to them too."

Gu Xin added Yin Xue as a friend.

"Of course, boss. Then I'll be taking my leave." Yin Xue naturally agreed on the surface.

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Yin Xue walked out of Blue Star Card Shop and took out the three cards. A beautiful smile bloomed on her fair, delicate face.

Coming here today had really been the right decision!

With these three cards, wouldn't she be invincible in the upcoming academy competition?

At that moment, Yin Xue felt completely relaxed and at ease. She had originally been under quite a lot of pressure, after all, the Knight Academy and the Mage Academy had been acting far too arrogant lately.

But now, hmph hmph~!

Once this young lady contained these three cards, they would be in for it!

Beep, beep, beep~

Just then, Yin Xue's phone rang.

Yin Xue took it out and looked. The caller ID showed "Yueyue."

"Xuebao, how'd it go? Did you find that shop?" A crisp, lively young girl's voice came through.

"I found it, and I got something out of it too," Yin Xue replied with a grin.

"You really found it? Was it that really young handsome guy?" Tang Yueyue was startled.

"Yep."

"Then did you add him as a friend? Send him to me. I still haven't thanked him yet."

"I didn't add him." Yin Xue's expression did not change in the slightest. "All right, let's talk later. I'm coming to find you now."

The girl walked with light, brisk steps, feeling as if even the wind today was especially gentle.

Inside the shop.

"I knew it. How could a card maker like me ever be short on money? What a joke."

A certain card maker who had just made a huge sum was now in exceedingly high spirits. Once his wallet was full, he had confidence!

Gu Xin put on his jacket and called Uncle Chen while he was at it.

"Hello, Old Chen? Yeah, it's me. That Holy Griffin feather you mentioned before—I'll take all of it!"

"Also, I want two portions of [Pufferfish Venom]. That [Blue-Ringed Octopus Venom] is completely useless."

As Gu Xin complained, he quickly walked out of the shop.

"Yeah, I'm coming to your shop now to pick it up. I'll be there in about ten minutes."

Mm, Gu Xin had still not forgotten his original aspiration. He had to make a summoning card that carried poison.

After hanging up, Gu Xin got on his little electric scooter and headed toward Uncle Chen's shop, feeling as if even the wind today was especially gentle.

"I'll have to ask Old Chen later if he has any other treasures. That guy always suddenly gets his hands on some weird materials."

"A Holy Griffin feather. Its grade is so high, and it's light attribute too. Maybe I really can make that card."

After coming to this world, Gu Xin had always had one goal. Back when he had still been on Blue Star, as a child, he had once lent his light to a giant of light.

But the key point was, the giant of light had never returned that light to him, causing him to later lose his dreams and become a workhorse salted fish.

And now, his goal was to make a card that could summon a giant of light!
