[Trap Hole]

[Category: Magic Card]

[Quality: Two-Star Blue Card]

[Attribute: Earth]

[Effect: Cast on a designated target, causing the target to fall into a trap hole and become unable to escape. Ineffective against flying targets.]

[(Note: Fall into this pit!)]

Wow!!

The moment Tang Yueyue saw this card, her eyes lit up.

Although this card only worked on targets on the ground and could not mess with someone's head like [Heart Change], that did not stop it from being an extremely powerful magic card.

For example, Yin Xue's [Squirtle]. If Yin Xue summoned it and she immediately made it fall into a pit it could not even crawl out of, that would definitely feel amazing!

"Boss, I'll take this card!"

"Boss, can you sell me this card?"

Tang Yueyue spoke impatiently, but another voice rang out at the same time.

Tang Yueyue froze, then looked toward Yin Xue with dissatisfaction.

"Come on, Xuebao, this is the card I wanted! How can you compete with me for it?"

Tang Yueyue was deeply unhappy. This was clearly supposed to be her time with the boss, so Yin Xue butting in was really irritating, okay?

"Yueyue, that's not right. You haven't bought it yet, and I like this card too. You already have [Heart Change], so let me have this one."

Yin Xue smiled gently, her tone unhurried and composed, every word seeming perfectly reasonable.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Don't you already have [Magic Cylinder]?"

Tang Yueyue began hissing.

What nonsense was she spouting? She had clearly taken a liking to [Trap Hole]'s powerful effect and wanted it for herself.

And she was saying Tang Yueyue already had [Heart Change], but didn't she have [Magic Cylinder]? Magic Cylinder was even a purple-grade card—why did she not mention that?

"But I truly love this [Trap Hole] as well. Yueyue, we've been best friends since childhood. Can't you let me have it?"

"Tch, how many times have I told you, you damn woman? Stop acting all fake and innocent in front of me, you bastard! You make it sound so nice—then why don't you let me have it?"

"I'm not being fake! Do you remember that guy from the neighboring class who was pursuing you last time? You found him so annoying, and I was the one who dealt with him. You owe me one."

"Fuck off! It was because of you that the whole school is now spreading rumors that I'm a lesbian! Some people are even saying I'm a cross-dressing big shot. Damn it! The rumors have even spread to other schools."

It would have been fine if she had not brought it up, but once she did, Tang Yueyue instantly saw red and began hissing furiously.

Tang Yueyue was a seventeen-year-old genius card master and the Tang Family's eldest young lady. The men who wanted to pursue her, cling to her thigh, and soar to success could line up from the east side of Yin City all the way to the west.

Yet now, rumors were spreading around school that she was into girls. Even more absurdly, people were fabricating claims that she was some cross-dressing big shot.

The so-called evidence was that her chest was as flat as an airfield.

What the fuck! So what if my chest is flat? Am I eating your family's rice? What the hell does it have to do with you people?!

And the culprit behind all this was Yin Xue, the childhood friend and best sister sitting beside her—a girl who looked pure, gentle, and considerate.

Because she had been the one to say that Tang Yueyue might like women.

And who did not know that Yin Xue and Tang Yueyue were inseparable best friends? Since Yin Xue had said it herself, did that not basically confirm it?

"That has nothing to do with me. Just answer this: was the matter of him pursuing you resolved or not?"

Yin Xue's gaze drifted away, and her tone was not entirely natural.

"With the way you resolved it, I'd rather that fly kept bothering me!" Tang Yueyue was so angry she laughed.

"?"

Beside Gu Xin, Toyokawa Shoko stared at Yin Xue and Tang Yueyue as the smell of gunpowder between them rapidly intensified, momentarily at a loss.

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at Gu Xin, only to find that he had even picked up a cola and started drinking, looking thoroughly relaxed.

Toyokawa Shoko: Σ(゚∀゚ノ)ノ

Gu Xin drank his cola with great interest as he watched the two sisters glare at each other. He had absolutely no intention of stepping in to mediate.

Scenes of two women hissing at each other were not common, especially when they were best friends. He wondered whether it would escalate to hair-pulling.

It would be best if they got into a fight—a thrilling one. He could record a video and upload it to Bilibili. It would definitely go viral, right?

Ah, honestly, his cards were just too charming.

Gu Xin could not help narrowing his eyes in enjoyment. That was right—watching people fight over his cards was an indescribable delight for a card maker like him.

Come to think of it, once he became famous, could he hold an auction someday?

Gu Xin began looking forward to it. This was one of his ambitions as well.

After all, he wanted to become a legendary card maker and have his name passed down through the ages as a legend, but that would not be easy.

So let's set a small goal first: once I become famous, I'll hold my own personal card auction.

Watching all those powerful big shots fight to bid on my cards then would definitely feel amazing!!

"Boss, tell us—who are you selling this card to?"

At last, after arguing until her mouth was dry and her chest heaved violently, Tang Yueyue took a huge gulp of water and asked Gu Xin, who had nearly gotten too absorbed in watching.

"Boss, what do you think? I'll listen to you."

Yin Xue remained perfectly composed, but her tone toward Gu Xin was exceptionally gentle.

Tang Yueyue rubbed the goosebumps that had risen on her arm and shot a disgusted look at her good sister, who had suddenly started acting all coy again.

Gu Xin silently lamented the missed opportunity.

"Uh, although I do feel a little sorry for Miss Yin, Miss Tang did ask first. First come, first served, after all."

"And neither of you should let this hurt your relationship."

Gu Xin cleared his throat twice and spoke impartially.

Toyokawa Shoko had strong professional ethics, so she did not laugh. She thought her boss really was being fair, but that final addition was just too funny.

You were the one enjoying the show the most just now. You practically had "Fight already" written all over your face.

"Hmph, I knew the boss was on my side."

Tang Yueyue shot Yin Xue a smug glance.

"Since that's what you say, Boss, I can accept it. But if you get any excellent cards next time, could you prioritize saving them for me?"

Yin Xue still wore the elegant, composed smile of a young lady. At the end, she even mischievously winked at Gu Xin.

Mm, she did not even spare the gloating Tang Yueyue a glance.

"Of course." Gu Xin replied with a smile.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Boss." The curve of Tang Yueyue's lips lifted slightly.

Seeing this, the flat-chested eldest miss of the Tang Family became unhappy instead. Damn it, I was obviously supposed to be the winner.

But why did it feel like I'd lost again?

Tang Yueyue pondered the reason with her earth-shattering wisdom, but she seemed unable to figure anything out. In the end, she simply stopped thinking about it.

"Miss Tang, are you sure you want this [Trap Hole]?"

"Of course! Boss, name your price."

"Although [Trap Hole] has certain restrictions, its effect is still excellent. How about one million for Miss Tang? Can you accept that?"

Gu Xin named his price. The market value of magic cards and item cards was far lower than that of summon cards, so the difference in price was substantial.

Strictly speaking, [Trap Hole] was only a two-star blue card. At one million, it was already severely overpriced among magic cards of this star rank.

Ordinary two-star purple cards only sold for around that price, but Gu Xin had his reasons—his card's effect was simply that good!

"Absolutely no problem!" The eldest miss of the Tang Family agreed without hesitation.

See? The customer's response was the best ironclad proof.
