To Rhode's surprise, Milhouse raised no questions about the rather ridiculous Battlecry effect.
Perhaps he thought that his opponent, "Lilia the Rogue," did not have many powerful spell cards yet, and therefore posed little threat to him.
As a result, Milhouse was quite pleased with the legendary card "Milhouse Manastorm."
That was also why he readily accepted Rhode's invitation to join Darrow Hill Technical School and attend its opening ceremony the next day.
Besides getting a "custom-made" legendary card, being a teacher meant more chances to draw cards, which meant more cards. Only an idiot would turn down the invitation!
"It's settled, then," Rhode told Milhouse. "Please be on time for tomorrow's opening ceremony!"
"No problem." Milhouse's eyes shifted, and he added, "Since I'll also be bringing an artist and magic herbs, could I get some special treatment?"
Rhode waved a hand without hesitation. "Absolutely! When you get back, I'll give you a ten-pull!"
Milhouse left the room, satisfied.
Rhode watched him go and chuckled.
It's only a ten-pull, isn't it?
Under Rhode's current card-drawing system, it often took forty draws to get a single legendary card.
And even if someone got lucky and pulled legendary or epic cards in just ten draws, so what?
To Rhode, those cards were nothing but "code," a pile of data!
For a devoted player like Milhouse, getting a ten-pull and extra exclusive cards might feel fantastic, but Rhode would lose nothing.
On the contrary, he might obtain an important raw material for magic: magic herbs. They would be immensely useful to Rhode's future "magical technology." Compared to Hearthstone cards, their value was worlds apart.
That was one of the most frightening things about video games. Countless people were willing to spend money on a pile of data that could be whipped up with
